I don’t like his movies but I respect his hustle. He has enough money to approach an agent and tell them “I want to make this movie, I want to cast all my friends in it, and I want my character to walk away with a hot date at the end” and the agent just says okay.

They’re pretty much all the same movie with different names on them. But it’s pretty clear that everyone involved in those movies was just having a great time making them.

He sent his co-stars dead animals and condoms as “gifts”

This is news to me, but I hardly know everything there is to know about him.

Any specifics? I would like to know. I recommend his books frequently.

So much so that King famously doesn’t actually remember writing Cujo

You don’t see how cultural relevance has caused HBO to cut JK Rowling a check in order to make this show, which she then turns around and donates to anti-trans organizations?

Pirate or not, people watching and interacting with this stuff and talking about it with other people keeps it in the public consciousness. As long as it remains part of the zeitgeist then Rowling continues to profit from it.

It’s quite easy to find other, better stories about wizards that don’t directly fund bigotry. I recommend Dresden Files.

“Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everybody you meet.”

It’s a near certainty, if you want your brain implant to be able to communicate with any device outside your skull. If it has Bluetooth or NFC then that’s a vulnerability vector.

Hmm. I think you’re right actually. I was never brave or foolish enough to test it though.

But I know for certain that this works on any and every humanoid merchant, as long as you’re smart with what element you pick. No frost damage on Nords or fire on Dunmer, for instance.

So, fun fact about that, this enabled one of my favorite exploits.

When you sell stuff to merchants, they’ll automatically equip it, if it’s of higher value than what they already have equipped. Most anything with a constant effect enchantment is higher value than almost anything they’re likely to be wearing.

So, you go enchant yourself a shirt with Constant Effect Damage Health on Self 1pt. Sell it to a merchant, and then wait patiently for an hour until he keels over dead. Proceed to loot his entire shop without getting a bounty for it and then move on to the next shop.

Pro tip, if you get too happy with this strategy, remember not to do this to the creature merchants as well or you can very easily find yourself left in a world without commerce.

His social media presence is, uh… questionable.

I did a little bit of digging around and I can’t find anything in particular that he’s done that I don’t like (actually he’s one of few people pushing back against AI which I do like), but I’ve seen some Twitter takes from him in the past that made me not want to be involved with him.

Nothing heinous though so far as I know, though I can’t say I’ve kept up with it recently.

Ding ding ding, winner!

I’ve been using Fences for like 10 years with roll-up containers. Now that I’ve switched to Linux actually having icons on my desktop again is kind of driving me nuts.

Do you know of an alternative?

The more I see him in the real world the more very upset I become that I genuinely really liked his story. HPMOR is a banger, possibly one of my favorite pieces of amateur literature in existence.

I didn’t know the author was a wanker at the time of reading, and now that I do, I want to make myself retroactively un-like his work, but I can’t.

I would agree with this if Zuck hadn’t been in the news recently talking about how Meta is desperately filling their userbase with bots, on purpose
