They were kinda handy to have around tbh. Like, tissue in my backpack during allergy season, or in my car. I think we used them as tp on a camping trip.
At home, we only used them until the usual tp rolls came back into supply.
They came in a pretty big package so we had them around for a couple years, but I think they’re all gone now… So, yeah we used them, maybe not as intended and maybe not favorably, but they saved my ass in 2020, literally!
I suppose if you hear your class talking about something a lot, it probably makes some sense to at least briefly look into it. Especially if the general gist of it can be understood by watching one thirty second youtube video
I think the character says what they actually say in the video, as opposed to saying skibidi which is what everyone who has not seen it assumes he says. I’m in the latter party
Ok I got some middle schooler translation on this. Apparently there’s a video of a guy’s (a Half Life character’s) head coming out of a toilet. You can see it drawn on the board to the far right of the picture. In the video, he spouts a bunch of nonsense including “Yes yes”.
Said middle schooler is annoyed that I asked him, since apparently this is some elementary school-aged memes. This checks out, because my 4th grader over heard us talking and yelled “Skibibi!!”
Seems like this story is BS. I can’t speak to that but Scott Kelly fought with NASA management to lower the acceptable CO2 levels in the space station because it was making everyone sick and initially they refused to do it and he even had to consult with navy people on what acceptable CO2 levels they let in their submarines and finally NASA ended up matching theirs.
Imagine being in space and everyone around you is sick and you try to tell the group you have contact with in the vacuum of oblivion and they’re just like “nuh uh”
Yeah I tend to think that anyone who identifies as high t alpha male is actually just the opposite.
They are usually the ones seeking admiration and approval. Meanwhile the free thinkers are just doing our days and caring for our tribes. No approval needed.
>be me >high T alpha male born to breed and lead >go to doc to confirm I am the most alpha of all >doc says your T levels are through the roof >fuck yeah it is I am a total chad >doc is like nah bruh you got the big C >mfw I only have 6 weeks to live
Pssh. Everyone knows that the lead actress whats-her-name takes herself super seriously and would never, ever, say or do anything just because it’s funny.
creating a post-post-modern work but centering the drama around the pre-modern harmartia in a character
the absolute break neck speed of narrative in an incredibly long work, without intermission is very draining and not enjoyable
the absence of charisma from the lead character coupled with the inexplicable attraction and support of everyone around him to him
"who’s story was it?" there were so many conflicting POVs, and about half a dozen endings
the surrealism wasn’t earned or justified
the entire thing is about the possible human cost of such decisions but the only victim we see is imaginary
most of the dialog is essentially exposition of scientific or legal terms
although what happens - post hoc - was interesting. the actual experience of watching it unfold was just watching a bunch of people bicker about their jobs
Honestly man, have you never heard of atom bombs and nuclear power before that movie? You make it sound like this movie is enlightening humanity about the dangers of nuclear weapons and revealing some kind of secrets that haven’t been common knowledge for decades.
Or to use your degrading language that you seem to like to make us dumb dumbs understand: small thing goes boing, that bad, we deady-dead, just as granny said.
Didn’t bother with Barbie because it seemed not my style.
What I assumed the movie would be about being a Barbie movie isn’t my style either. However, the Barbie movie was quite a bit more than I expected. I rather liked the subtle feminist messaging underneath the obvious message. The movie also didn’t take itself too seriously on what could be considered very delicate topics. I’d recommend it even for non-typical Barbie doll audience.
While the feminist message was not meant to be subtle, there are plenty of subtle messages that people still haven’t figured out yet. At it’s core, Barbie is about identity and existence.
It’s not that deep, but it is a bit more complex than at first glance.
noun: sexism prejudice, stereotyping, or discrimination, typically against women, on the basis of sex. “sexism in language is an offensive reminder of the way the culture sees women”
That’s ok, Muskoid is going to sue the ADL and Media Matters, and based on his extremely flawed ideas regarding Freedom Of Speech, he probably believes he can win lol.
That isn’t accurate - you can look up the details before getting all fussy. Of all the twitter users they were the only user that saw one pairing and one of the other pairings may have been seen by one actual user, but also might’ve just been MM seeing it twice.
It wasn’t an organic thing and it’ll be interesting to see if it goes to court.
Even Twitter isn’t claiming that Media Matters somehow broke their algorithm (unsurprisingly, since that makes Twitter look terrible):
The lawsuit filed Monday accuses Media Matters of publishing a report that distorted the likelihood of ads appearing beside extremist content on X, a move the social media company says led major and influential advertisers to suspend their campaigns en masse. The company alleges that the group’s testing methodology was not representative of how real users experience the site and calls for a judge to force Media Matters to take down the analysis.
The case appears to be a “bogus” attempt to chill criticism in a way that “flatly contradicts basic First Amendment principles,” Ted Boutrous, a First Amendment attorney with years of experience dealing with the tech industry, told CNN. Boutrous added that the case could backfire for X in the discovery phase, as Media Matters could demand internal information that, if presented at trial, could prove embarrassing or highly damaging to the social media company.
The lawsuit also contains “fatal flaws” by conceding that ads did, in fact, appear beside extremist content, regardless of how Media Matters achieved that result, according to Steve Vladeck, a law professor at the University of Texas and a CNN contributor.
“The complaint admits that the thing Media Matters was making a big deal about actually happened,” Vladeck said. “Most companies wouldn’t want their ads running next to neo-Nazi content even once, and wouldn’t care about the exact percentage of users who were encountering such side-by-side placement.”
Contrary to the complaint, Media Matters “never claimed that what it found was typical of other users’ experience,” Vladeck added.
They contrived a situation that literally happened to nobody else. You’ll have to excuse my liberty with the word broken, but this is a non-issue.
If it wasn’t musk none of us would give a fuck. If a right wing propaganda mill did the same thing everyone would happily admit it’s misleading. The fact that it gets any traction at all is so fucking depressing.
It wasn’t an organic thing and it’ll be interesting to see if it goes to court.
it was completely organic. no outside-twitter resources were used to achieve the result - they literally used twitter’s tools and proved it could happen readily. That’s all advertisers need to see to bug the fuck out.
You don’t have to modify a lawn mower to flip it upside down and throw cats in it my friend.
no you just have to be a psychopath to suggest it.
did they break twitter, inject code, falsify user records, hack anything? No.
They used the service as it’s intended - picked some people and brands to follow then refreshed their feed. Buddy, that’s as organic as manure - and even if it somehow was gamed, dozens of other instances of hate shit being positioned aside brands THAT RIGHTFULLY DON’T WANT TO BE ASSOCIATED WITH HATE SHIT have been posted - it’s not just media matters.
it’s not just the ADL’s criticism.
GET IT THROUGH YOUR FUCKING MELON - Musk’s the problem. Your refusal to see the obvious is sad.
no you just have to be a psychopath to suggest it.
Ah. Miss the point and make a stupid medical diagnosis? Not the best start. I’ll get back to this.
They used the service as it’s intended - picked some people and brands to follow then refreshed their feed.
If it’s organic why did nobody else see the combo? They literally behaved in a way no other user has, and it was contrived to find edge cases in the ad service. It’s not organic use.
We’re talking about facts and definitions. There’s no reason for you to be this worked up, angry or vile to other people.
Ah. Miss the point and make a stupid medical diagnosis? Not the best start. I’ll get back to this.
yeah suggesting murdering animals as a method to defend free speech was you’re weird tactic mate, not mine.
So you’re suggesting without the ‘contrived’ method of selecting people to follow, which is part of twitter’s core features, that no one would see these issues?
Because that’s a lie. It’s happened to hundreds of users. And seeing awful shit on twitter is getting more regular because of Musk’s idiotic reversal on content moderation. time.com/…/twitters-hate-content-advertisers/
You literally don’t know what you’re talking about or are being intentionally disingenous - it’s gross and sad. Fuck off with your bullshit, you defend nazis and their proponents - what the fuck is wrong with you?
And how dare you criticize anyone for getting worked up about your nazi apologist bullshit, you suggested mowing cats, sicko.
If that’s what you think this says, then you completely misunderstand anarchism.
This book describes current and past societies that have functioned using anarchist principles such as horizontality, mutual aid, none of which are utopian, but all of which are significantly more equitable than systems like capitalism, feudalism, authoritarianism, and statehood.
Thank you for the link! AnarchistLibrary is cool but sometimes it’s hard to find the solid stuff from the tumblr rants.
I agree, it’s amazing how “revolutionary” it is to hold the idea that people can lead and cooperate just fine without a someone “on top” making all the rules everyone just follows because they say so. Some people just can’t fathom not being lead around by the nose.
They think we’re utopian, but I’d rather work towards an equitable world using anarchist principles, knowing it won’t create a utopia, than give up and let greed and hatred win out because that’s the status quo.
“This current situation is the best we’ve got so far” is such a low bar.
Amen. One of the things I like best about anarchism is it introduces concepts that we can begin to practice immediately vs. awaiting some future revolution.
I really like the book I linked because to me it’s so much easier to read and digest than some of the famous works by authors like Kropotkin or Goldman.
Democratically owning the means of production among the workers. Instead of some greedy rich guy who’d want to give as little of the profit as possible to the people actually making the product or providing the service.
Co-ops and unions are certainly steps in the right direction, but they’re more like temporary band-aids over Capitalism instead of implementing proper Socialism.
All while the world’s current top superpower is right beside them, sees them as an enemy, and has a still ongoing embargo on them for 60 years now to prevent them from trading with other countries. That’ll hopefully change once China’s Belt and Road Initiative is complete though.
Clearly this model works. It does require expelling landleeches, plantation owners and billionaires if they don’t hand over the means of production to the workers (like Cuba did after the revolution), but I don’t think most people would mind that.
It also historically requires fighting off the US though because military, oil, and other private corporation owners can’t exploit Socialist countries as much, which is harder.
It is though? People directly nominate individuals in their area, and the ballots are checked in public where anyone can attend.
This results in a Parliament that evenly and properly represents the entire population. That’s why Cuba has an unusually high percentage of women in the government, 53.22% now (U.S has 29.0%), and better LGBT rights than the U.S. nowadays.
Being rich as an advantage is also taken away by banning advertising yourself/anyone. You need social connections with the people in your area (Socialism) instead.
Not knowing something is fine, but being ignorant and arrogant about it is unfortunate. Though I suppose it is unbelievable, if you’re in a Capitalist country, to hear that a nation has solved homelessness, starvation, and education by just changing its political/economic system (and fighting off the US after).
Imagine its sheer potential once it can trade with other countries with that massive advantage, after the US is eventually forced to stop the embargo.
You mean the 2021 “protests”? Most of it was pro-government/revolution ones against CIA-backed ‘protests’ that were spun up by Fox News to be pro-US; by blurring out signs and the like. And a fake Twitter campaign run by bots.
These aren’t declassified until decades later for obvious reasons. They’re called “color revolutions” and are staged by billion dollar US corporations to set the stage for military or political action. Best way to spot them is seeing if they have US-flags or have signs with generic lines like “Freedom”.
Communism without actually sharing isn’t communism. Democracy without fair elections isn’t democracy. Socialism without the socialisation of the benefit of production is not socialism. Your ignorance of these things doesn’t change what they are.
No, it’s not a democracy because it doesn’t even bother following actual democratic principles. It’s just like Napoleon’s idea of democracy: I am the people, therefore if I have absolute power I’m being democratic.
Exactly, and that’s why everything you’ve ever known as communism and socialism is in exactly the same boat. They didn’t follow the actual communistic or socialist principals. They were all little north Korea pretending to be those things.
You’ve never read a book in your life, you have no clue what that phrase means. You have just proven yourself genuine and not an actor. You are a moron.
How do you give the means of production to a concept (the collective) if not by giving it to the institution that supposedly represents it (the state)?
By actually distributing the value generated to the workers. It doesn’t require the state to do anything except legislate paying workers their worth. Adequately taxing those with means to pay for social services for those without. You know, actually benefitting the lowest rung of the social hierarchy beyond letting them beg for scraps and die.
I’ll give you a hint, no one is being paid what they’re worth while a profit margin exists because every dollar of profit is a dollar exploited from the supplier, the worker, and the customer, for the benefit of the mini kings of capitalism.
No, it’s not a democracy because it doesn’t even bother following actual democratic principles. It’s just like Napoleon’s idea of democracy: I am the people, therefore if I have absolute power I’m being democratic.
Basically Cuba on steroids
I copy-pasted my answer because you copy-pasted your comment
Of course it’s an ad hominem dumbass, I was insulting your lack of intelligence because I’ve already destroyed your argument but you’re literally too fucking stupid to clue on.
If you want to keep being clowned on like a child, keep being as ignorant as one. Running circles around you as you try to keep up is great practice. They say you shouldn’t argue with idiots like yourself, but that’s a skill issue imo.
I don’t expect your inevitable reply to miraculously be tempered with newfound cognizance either. I expect you to continue to act within your very restrictive personal limitations.
The messages are there, I’d tell you to read them but comprehension isn’t your strong suite given that you didn’t pick anything up the first time through.
You can do that by not responding, I even told you that, but as I’ve been pointing out this whole time, you’re not smart enough to reign in your ego long enough to let go of me. I should be flattered that you find me so enthralling as to keep returning.
You keep returning because your ego is all you have after getting schooled like the child you continue to act. It’s so funny. This feeling you keep having? It’s your stupidity hurting you for your own actions.
Really, you’re back to being this stupid? Who am I kidding, you never stopped. Do we need to start again about how the only way this ends is when you learn the lesson I’m teaching? The slower you are the longer it will take.
How don’t you get tired of being a fucking asshole for several days? Guess that’s your usual self, and I also guess that’s why the only personal interaction you seem to get is being an egotistical dickhead
Also, the only lesson someone needs to learn here is you taking more showers
Because idiots like you have important things to learn, I can repeat myself again if you still aren’t catching on. Like I’ve said almost a dozen times by now, the slow ones take the longest.
I’m the perfect person to teach this lesson, the fact that you don’t know what it is, is just more proof of your idiocy, I’ve told you but you’re too slow to keep up. It’s OK, I have no qualms continuing until you learn your lesson. The best part about the lesson I’m teaching is it doesn’t require you to even know what I’m trying to teach you because the only way this conversation ends is once you have learnt that lesson.
Why don’t you walk away instead of inflicting me upon yourself? I know why, ego, belligerence, stupidity, the list goes on. The lesson I’m teaching is one in humility. You want the conversation to end? Then jog on princess.
Who do you think you are to teach humility? You’ve shown the opposite for like 5 days and been an absolute egotistical asshole obsessed with having the moral high ground
At this point I should just block you for being the most annoying person I’ve ever known on the internet
And in doing so you’d have finally learned your lesson. But you’re stupid which is why you’re so slow. Told you a few times now the stupid ones take the longest. Jog on sunshine, if you’ve got the balls. Or will you come crawling back for more like you have for 3 days?
You’ll be learning the lesson on how to shut the fuck up and walk away with your tail between your legs, a lesson you’re seemingly well overdue. You know how to end this, but you can’t, you’re a cuck to my influence, you’ll come back again.
Shame that you have to use a block to manage your ego though it’s not surprising. We both know you couldn’t stop replying of your own volition, you lack the willpower.
North Korea calls itself democratic. Everyone in the country votes for a new leader every five years. It’s just that there’s only one name on the ballot.
One would be foolhardy to call that democracy.
One would be even more foolhardy to argue that this means that democracy is a stupid idea.
That’s an oxymoron. There is literally no such thing as a capitalist cooperative. By definition, co-ops are socialist. Also, the right wing populist wants to socialize the airlines?
Work isn’t just physical you know. Management, planning, etc is work too, and they’d get paid according to how many want to do them, and how hard they are.
The difference is, like I said, that some greedy rich bastard who’d want to give as little of the profit as possible to the people actually making the product or providing the service wouldn’t own that means of production.
Simple. You know all those scientists that work at $40 billion chip plants? They would actually take the $40 billion and not some random suit who doesn’t do any of the actual work. Executive leadership is important, but it’s not worth 1000x the average worker’s salary.
Look it’s just kid slang. Just because I have a cotton candy flavored condom in my pocket, three packets of cherry lube, a six pack of wine coolers and 12 pack of birthday cake vodka shots doesn’t mean it’s any different from when I use a piece of rabbit skin I rub on my dick every night to fall asleep.
Admittedly, you look and sound much older than I remember but you’re still 14 right?
I mean we could actually make this a lot worse and put a Hershey bar in there, I’m sure the butyric acid will kick it up a notch… At least they’re using Milka
Something I’ve realised is that a lot of people when starting a task they’ve never done, don’t realise that fact and attempt to start and finish it all in one go anyways, rather than before starting realising you have no expertise and searching the web for “How to do: X” for more complex tasks this can be unsuccessful, but for simple tasks like installing computer parts people just wing it first time for some reason. 🤷♂️
Listen, I figured out how to do this at age 10 in 1994 before Google existed. It’s not fucking hard, OP’s guy must have been hammering those square pegs into round holes too. Some people just don’t have any common sense or problem solving capability.
I think your assessment is correct. My experience in multiple fields has taught me that if a random user encounters difficulty in performing a task, their reaction will never be to stop, take a step back, and reassess. Rather, it will be to continue to try doing whatever they were doing but just use more force, and then declare the device or tool a “piece of shit” when it breaks.
I managed to plug the 4pin CPU_POWER cable into two corresponding ports. As in 2 pins from one port and two from the other, since they make up an 8pin port.
Surprisingly it was working but crashing randomly every half an hour.
These ports are shaped so that this is impossible, but I managed to do it anyway.
Those connectors are keyed, but only to prevent you from installing them backwards or rotated 90 degrees, and not from doing what you did. The “tombstone” shaped pins will fit in the square holes, but not vise versa.
Offsetting it by 1 pin side to side won’t result in the loss of any smoke, because you will observe the wire colors and that all of the pins on the top edge are 12v positive and all the pins on the bottom edge are ground. You got away with what you got away with because you merely delivered insufficient current to the board, but not the wrong voltage or wrong polarity to the wrong place.
