Context: I’m a second year medical student and currently residing in the deepest pit in the valley of the Dunning-Kruger graph, but am still constantly frustrated and infuriated with the push for introducing AI for quasi-self-diagnosis and loosening restrictions on inadequately educated providers like NP’s from the...

Hey y’all, I’m a warehouse worker in Illinois, when I was hired on I was promised $17.50 an hour. I got access to the employee self service recently to find out these past 4 months I’ve been getting paid $17.

I recently figured out my new setup, but one thing I’ve been struggling with are my wallpapers. I use 3 monitors, one 21:9 and two 16:9s, one of which is portrait. As a result, my wallpaper situation is messy since wallpapers for one don’t work on the others. On my old setup, I just had a big folder of backgrounds I...

It seems as though we are going backwards. We were doing so well in realising that all human beings are worthy individuals with emotional and intellectual depth, yet now so many of us don’t seem to see any problem with society encouraging many to reduce themselves to sexual objects. How is this rationalised?...

I assume there must be a reason why sign language is superior but I genuinely don’t know why.

It looks like taxes increase and any kind of post-life planning can be done with a few legal filings rather than getting married. Is there any real benefit? It kinda seems like it’s just a way to trap people in relationships, probably traditionally, the woman.

I got my hands on MPEG-V standard documents which lets me inject “SEM” (sensory effect metadata) inside .mp4 files which would let me program real world stuff on cues like lights, chair movements, water sprays, etc. So literally if I had a NAS with a hoard of movies and bought the right equipment, i could make 4DX at home....

Saw a video of a youtuber that got his account overtaken which has 2fa enabled (not sure which method but I’m thinking sms). He says he didn’t get phished, downloaded anything and his session cookies weren’t stolen and I believe him. The only clue is that he received a sms otp from google but was invalid when he inputted...

So John Darnielle of The Mountain Goats does this thing in some of his lyrics where he’ll start a sentence out with a verb as though it’s an imperative, but it’s from a first-person POV. There’s a lot of examples but the song “Counterfeit Florida Plates” is the one that comes to mind first, for me. Is there a...
