In that case decimal is flawed too, 0.6667 or any such approxination doesnt exactly equal 2/3. It technically happens in any number system where you are dividing by a prime that isnt part of either the base or the number being divided
Define “all the other numbers”. Do we include only natural numbers? Or all instegers? Or even rational numbers? Do we include imaginary numbers? How about complex numbers? Orbetter go for quaternions?
I was fine with giving them 5 seconds of attention in exchange for a video. Then they added more and more, and moved the skip button SOMETIMES. It’s straight up disrespectful.
Read the top comment before watching the video, so I was fully prepared for what was about to happen…didn’t help and now my cat who was sleeping on me is this annoyed at me:
I’m so traumatized by that video that now, 17 or so years later, I had to carefully scroll your comment in case the picture you posted was the screaming face
After a few seconds of this scenic view of a car driving down the road, a person in a mask or something abruptly appears and screams incredibly loud. I can’t remember if it’s the video or your friends that tell you to look very closely to see if you notice the “thing” to ensure you are properly jump scared.
The car goes out of view for a but and then fails to appear when you’d expect it to which draws your attention just before the face appears. It’s subtle and devious.
In middle school I helped run the media stuff at my summer camp, audio and projector. We thought it would be really funny to show this one night after the talent show. We really cranked up the volume too.
I don’t think we officially got in trouble, but there were a lot of people that got pretty upset with us.
The artist’s website abuses the “click a link” clacking sound on a webpage. The entire comic is loaded and scrolls between panels. However for the jumpscare(s), it shudders and audibly clacks as it “rapidly clicks hyperlinks” to jump between frames. It’s really neat effect and startling as shit. This page just hosts the comic. To confirm, in this link, you can not click between frames and just scroll with tye mouse ob the scrollbar down the right side.
God I fucking hated them with all of my guts as a child, caused me so much anxiety and fear. And then as an adult I’ve had the pleasure of people on the internet (mainly reddit) telling me they were just innocent pranks that nobody actually harbored any hate for or faced any negative consequences from.
Bad advice. My mom’s dog has bad separation anxiety. She’d have to start blasting every time she leaves home or goes from the car to the grocery store…
It was a Llasa Apso. He was very territorial, would bark at anyone if they came into the house. But if we were walking outside, really only barked at Asian and Black people. I blame his grandparents bc they watched too much Fox News.
I, too, had a racist dog. He didn’t like black people. He grew up in small town Canada where there was only one black family and the dad was the garbage man, so I think he developed a grudge against him coming up to the house once a week, doing his business with the cans, and then leaving.
Eventually we moved to a more populated and diverse area and that grudge carried on targeted at any black men :(. I swear he was a good dog otherwise though lol
If I shot everyone my dog barks at, I’d be committing genocide. This motherfucker barks at every single person that walks by the house. Yet, as soon as the doors open, she’s their best friend. WHAT IS SHE BARKING FOR?!?!
Recently I’ve been replaying Ocarina of Time and my stupid dog barks every time a chicken/Cucco crows. She gets up and barks and freaks out, even though I have actual chickens that actually crow all the time. When Ganandorf evil laughs though, no reaction.
I’ve been using them a lot and I will say that it makes Identifying people way easier. I notice “regulars” now way more than before because of their unique pp. Whether that’s a good thing or not I’ve no idea.
That’s a dope-ass list, shit’s ill af. Just don’t be bitin someone else’s stilo, cuz that shit’s wack, yo. If ya do, just tell ‘em “my bad, b!”, or expect peeps gonna be poppin caps in your ass, ya heard?
I’m all for unique and clear identifiers for everything, including people, but jesus christ, imagine yourself in elementary school having a weird name. Why would parents choose a hard mode for their progeny?
I guess if everyone has a weird name, that doesn’t matter. Maybe kids don’t make fun of weird names anymore. Who knows, maybe it’s the Johns and Marys who get made fun of for having uninteresting names.
I’m a big proponent of normal/semi obscure normal first name, weird middle name. John W Smith if you work in sales, J Wolfgang Smith if you’re an author. Perfect compromise.
We gave our daughter a somewhat disused but normal and formerly not uncommon name which was the name of a plant. We just wanted a name that wasn’t religious but still normal enough that she wouldn’t get bullied for it (she got bullied anyway). We realized later that it actually made sense in terms of her ancestry because her mother has a plant name, her grandmother has a plant name and her great-grandmother had a plant name. One long lineage of plant names.
Honestly being bullied for a weird name just feels like victim blaming. It’s just someone else’s shitty behaviour we’re expected to dance around? That was the one problem with the name.
I don’t disagree, but it’s also a parental responsibility, in my opinion, to help your child avoid bullying. It’s not possible to avoid entirely, but there are definitely ways to make it worse. And a weird name is one of them.
Dude I see you around here on the regular, so I’ll mention that this is ironic for me to read this, because we also named our daughter an old, obscure but “real” name that is also a plant (a flower, specifically).
It’s from France, so I asked a French friend before using it if it was ok to use and not a weird name, and they said “sure it’s ok, but it’s like an old grandma’s name no one uses anymore.” And that’s when I knew it was the one!
Same boat. I think I guessed it, and it’s absolutely killing me knowing I’ll never know if I’m right. But also, my brain itch doesn’t trump doxxing a person (or even a squid) or their kid.
It’s a pretty common practice where I live for a kid to be named after someone for their first name, but go by their middle name. So I think it’s perfectly fine to have one normal name and one weird name in any order.
A. John Smith is an accountant. Atreyu J. Smith is a musician who wears leather pants and some sort of studded headband.
In the fall of 2019, Vandyck sponsored the Marijuana Pepsi Scholarship for first-generation African-American students at UW–Whitewater.
If someone with a brand name… name… starts a same-industry business in their name, or offers a scholarship for nazis, I wonder what kind of recourse the original brand has.
My name is a standard name, but super uncommon here. It’s not that bad, since I got picked on about as much as anyone else. It’s not like they won’t just because your name is unremarkable.
If you don’t get bullied for your name, you’ll just get bullied for something else. At least with the name you can blame it on your parents, maybe. Kids are assholes.
I feel like the artist originally wanted to make this primarily medieval themed. But then realisied “Oh yeah, news and stuff are a thing.” And then just added laptops and antennas.
