  And now I’m officially 100% done with gaming, since that’s the last game I’d continued playing from time to time (when I have a spare few minutes and a whim to fire it up, that is).

  Oh well, part of getting older. I think I also have Halo and a Modern Warfare on that XBox, but, meh. WWII was the best CoD (the most fun, at least to me).

  Regional accents I guess.

  Ðð = voiced “th” (“this,” “thus,” “weather”) Þþ = unvoiced “th” (“thing,” “thong,” “with”)

  IIRC, these (ðese) letters come from Old English and Old Norse, and were later dropped in favor of “th” for both the voices and unvoiced consonants.

  But I’m not an expert. That’s the gist anyway.

  Some folks want to bring these letters back. I get it, and I actually like them. But it ain’t gonna happen.

  Anyway, “ðey” missed one.

  It’s more than that. They want training data for their LLMs. With enough training data, they can train these models to do office knowledge work themselves, removing the need to employ cubicle drones at all.

  I have high hopes

  If only we can somehow figure out how to bring back something like the web of the ’90s

  Cool, I’m done with Perplexity.

  Cool, I just won’t touch my wife ever again, thanks for the advice.

  Vasalgel is a better, proven, effective, safe, and easily reversible option.

  Why hasn’t it been approved yet?

  Reddit is now Fascist media. They will surpress talk of armed resistance, if (god forbid) it comes to that.
