the amount of consumer goodwill that statement bought easily pays for any losses from the hotdogs. companies seem hellbent on torching their brand reputation for short-term gains these days. little gestures go a long way.

if they existed they'd be killer for RL. RL is insanely unstable when the distribution shifts as the policy starts exploring different parts of the state space. you'd think there'd be some clean approach to learning P(Xs|Ys) that can handle continuous shift of the Ys distribution in the training data, but there doesn't seem to be. just replay buffers and other kludges.

I have no clue what to do. I'm American. I'm trans. I voted for Harris. I live in a blue state. I've gone to protests. I've talked to state senators about legislation. I've canvassed. I've talked to Trump supporters and tried to get them to change their minds.

it all feels totally useless. nothing I've done has had any effect. my own mom voted for Trump three times. it's like being chained to an anvil and thrown overboard. I'm swimming but I'm still drowning.

I'll just have a cup of rain, thanks.

I actually don't. :) it's the first thing I disable on my phone. I only capitalize "I" specifically, and proper nouns.

again though, my issue is one with producing the Unicode character of the specific em-dash glyph. maybe some phones automatically convert dashes to em-dashes based on context but I personally wouldn't know how it's done.

no no, you misunderstand. I'm not talking about the verbal flourish of dashes for interjection - I use those all the time, in this very sentence - I'm specifically talking about producing the specific Unicode character (โ€”) instead of just using the normal ASCII dash (-). the only way I can make the actual em-dash character is by long-pressing. if I do -- or ---, it's just a sequence of normal dash glyphs for me.

I buy all my groceries from Omega Mart, like a normal person.

I use dashes all the time, but em-dashes? I don't even know how to type those. I guess I could long-press the dash on my phone and select it, but... why?

again? oy! this time I'll give you an invincibility cooldown.

this is the source of a lot of my existential dread. I can't logically refute it, at most I can acknowledge it's pointless for me to worry about, but I can't stop myself from worrying about maltheism.

"politically motivated assassinations?" like the two Democratic politicians who were just murdered yesterday in Minnesota?
