Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

I mean the posts here are self-selecting.

***talking SE, arguing about every update patch, complaining about <content>, a smattering of common sense from the wise-folk - That's you Chanti - and the occasional lost PS lamb here to preach about their deity.

So the usual.

We'd all get downvoted and reported to oblivion on any actual social media.

#paged

There aren't enough posts for an algorithm to curate, either. 11 threads bumped in the last 24 hours, 9 are already on FP.

What if I told you mods already do that by steering the topics to certain directions

The trick would be to sort them like tiktok algorithms, lower priority as "most recent" and show you the top 9 bumped in x amount of time (usually in last month) they think you'd click on based on the words you've typed thus far and the amount of time and attention you give each page or posts etc

Would be an interesting comparison between the regulars here to see what it focuses on for each of us, with new posters just getting the latest threads etc.

"Thorny seems to reply to this vyre person a lot and vyre just bumped a thread they both talked in previously, 18 days ago" adds it to the list etc

I dont think it helps that most of the stuff is in this thread.

Discord updated their ToS today/last few days, if you disagree you can no longer use the service. If you agree you are allowing them to use everything you have ever posted on it for AI training or whatever they want.

So if you were writing a book, store personal artwork on it or have tech data/code on there they can use it for AI training.

Saul and Bernie meet on the sidewalk. Saul asks Bernie "How's business?"

"Business is TERRIBLE! I am loosing money hand over fist. With every transaction I am taking food from the mouths of my wife and children. Honestly, if it weren't for volume I don't know what I would do."


This is the kind of Jewish joke that Jewish comedians used to tell Jewish audiences in the Borsch Belt and Miami Beach.

The how's business leadin has maybe hundreds of jokes and in every last one of them business is never, ever good.

Lets the record show that I will always deliver for my fans

Are you jewish by chance? Because patients are always confused when I answer the phone and tell them my name, no one really hears Hebrew names anymore and act like Josiah is the most complex 100 syllable name on the planet

<Greek names have entered the chat, ten to fifteen syllables at a time>

Yes. I think I have mentioned this before but it may have been in the heyday of P&R.

And then there are Catholic names. Especially Latin American Catholic names which can be 10 or 15 names long.

I see you nerds were having fun today
