I’m really into JDM cars, which are always interesting to see in America. I had a Toyota AE111 Levin for a few years. Ran into the most unfortunate luck with a large hailstorm and losing my job in the same week. Sold it for a fraction of its value to someone who wanted to fix the hail damage.

That car was the perfect car for my level of skill in performance driving and the style of roads where I live. I’ll never be able to replace that thing.

Professors are burned and jaded so much by students taking advantage of their test taking policies that they fail to see when there should absolutely be an exception. Visible medical emergencies are certainly one of them. They should not only not be professors, they should be fired or arrested for endangering you. It’s crazy that sort of thing can just happen, but it’s absolutely realistic having been through it.

Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.

Years ago, a buddy got me going to his gym so he could show me the ropes. He’d been lifting most of his life and I really trusted him. It was the sort of gym where people go to do serious work. A lifter’s lifting gym. Everyone there looked so serious and were pressing so much weight. I have never been that sort.

But they were all incredibly kind to me. Helped me when they thought I needed it. Never in a demeaning way. Any bad vibes I got from them was pretty much on me.

Those were really cool times. The gym would shut down about two years later and I haven’t really gone to a gym since.

The clutch is a third pedal to the left of the brake which lets you disengage the engine and transmission so you can change the gear then let the pedal out, engaging the new gear.

With a clutch, the brake pedal is usually really narrow. So when you get into an automatic instincts will tell you to press the clutch and change gears but that pedal doesn’t exist and the wide brake pedal is there instead. Instead of changing gears, you slam the brake.

References to Gayle will always make me happy.

I know there’s a big joke about furries running the IT world but I know a huge number of them in aviation, too.

I locked into something, but I have no idea what it is. Cool.

Gotta go with Bad Religion on this one.

Did the trailer include the part where he was hammered to death during a play? Linking how it happened below. Pretty graphic stuff.

I got a 2008 Dodge Avenger when it was new and immediately hated it. Everything felt cheap, it had absolutely no ability to get up to speed, and felt all around sluggish.

Everything I hated about that Avenger for the 8 years I drove it were nothing compared to the two Dodge Calibers I got to drive in that time. Every bad feature for a car dialed up to 11. Felt like it was built so cheap it could fall apart on the road. My parents and my partner both got one. They were both so, so very bad. It’s unreal that car ever got sold.

When this song was new, I first thought it was irritating but it grew on me. So many years later, I really love this song.

If you knew what that one knew, you’d be screaming too.

Tasty nitrogen.

This is what I was afraid of 15 years ago. I couldn’t tell you the last time I bought a AAA game. This release is so disgusting.

I had my Reddit very heavily curated, my subs were mostly smaller subreddits. I was incredibly active and had my settings so that anything I voted on would not appear on my homepage. I got to see a ton of posts because of that.

Around 2021, I started noticing that reposts weren’t just people coming in and posting things we’ve seen a dozen times because they had no way to know it was a repost. It was bot networks that would take top posts and then other bot accounts would recreate the original post’s comment section. The accounts followed patterns and became really obvious to spot after a while.

The original tells were the bots taking really specific posts that only made sense in that context. Popular post from last Christmas? The bot doesn’t know what Christmas is, sees a popular post from a few months ago and reposts someone happy about their gifts in August. Look at this beautiful picture I took of the summer Alaskan wilderness this morning but it’s February. The photography subreddits were obvious because the bots would rotate the picture a few degrees which would sometimes ruin the picture’s aesthetic.

I’m not sure if it was just me spotting them easier or if they were really ramping up into 2022 but by the time they killed API access and I stopped using it, I think over 80% of posts were bots. Made leaving the site way easier.

She put out a video explaining that she sees the humor in all this but realizes that this picture is now a part of that, which is a bummer. I think it could go down as the least flattering picture of a person of all time. In said video, she looks lovely and clearly takes great care of herself.

I’m going to try to swallow some shotgun shells if I have to see one more article telling me to work until I die.

I stopped posting but keep the account active because a lot of the Japanese artists I follow have stopped using other sites that were once pretty standard and never moved away from Twitter. There are also some people I don’t want to lose touch with that never moved away.

This story should be done and dusted but these devs keep dredging it up and coming back for more. It’s really astounding.

BALEETED!

White vinegar, run them again. All good.

From the looks of the crash test results, I might have to buy one of these to get in on the lawsuits that will come from those who are maimed in accidents with them.

I value my bones too much to bother doing that. But seriously, a lot of people are gonna get hurt.

I’ve always known he was a real ghoul. On his death, I decided to see if Behind the Bastards had an episode on him. Just a few weeks ago, they finished uploading the sixth episode on him of the series. What timing.

I’ve listened to them and wow. Knowing his story kinda makes me lose all hope in the decency of people.

Yay, I’m in bed now! Good thing, I was getting eepy.

An open world, survival, party based rpg. Survival elements are light and focused away from micromanaging every crop placement and every floorboard. Player parties build cities, forts, roads.

It’s like: Minecraft without the block gimmick or detailed building capabilities. Skyrim with more playable characters in a player built world without a set storyline. Valheim without the heavy focus on survival elements or linear progression. Party management and diversity like a tactics RPG.

I’d love it to have several for game loops to bury yourself into. City building, character builds, crafting, gathering…

And multiplayer capable, self hosting if desired.

This is a pipe dream. A game that huge is too difficult to make for a game that wouldn’t have larger appeal.

That dog looks nothing like Harry Potter.

I actually stopped using it a few years ago because of a weird glitch I kept encountering where it would forget how to render non-standard symbols on websites (I forget the technical description, it’s been years). Sites like Twitter became neigh unusable because I couldn’t tell what any button was.

With all the recent problems, I know I want to switch back. Just haven’t had the time and patience to do it.

Turious ,

It’s got amazing characters and a fun premise. Writing is pretty mid but the standout moments are incredible.

Some of my favorite games from back in the day had a half dozen vendor intros. There were a few years where they were completely out of hand. It’s not all so bad these days.

I look forward to seeing OP on Chubbyemu.

There are some wild ones out there. I got a .wtf domain a while back. I regret nothing.

Way back when, I had a job where I used them regularly. Always had one on me at work. And therein, I had 4 or 5 at home any given day.

It sounds like an apartment building restriction, not a Spectrum restriction. The building wasn’t run for ethernet so they just put in wifi with a single modem for the building and called it a day.

My really obvious one, and a huge source of problems for me, is Discord. But the biggest one was a wild one:

Irfanview

It is a super-fast image viewer and simple image editor. Supports every format I’ve ever thrown at it. Bulk conversion and resize works like a charm. Hell, it’s half the reason I haven’t moved to Linux for my daily use.

Pretty sure they were being sarcastic. They can imagine it. It’s just really obviously AI junk.

And I don’t think there’s any attempt by the OP to be good content. This is AI generated blogspam content. There is no upper bar or improvement. Someone is managing a bot that generates garbage articles, aggregates the links, farms a few clicks. This is stuff that gets banned easily on most platforms.

Blocking solves the problem for individual users but won’t fix the problem that they are continuing to post junk to these communities.

I fairly regularly work with someone who, in their organization’s alias scheme, was given the email address of an 80s cartoon villain. It rules so much and I doubt she’s even in on the joke.

A $30 bidet changed my entire quality of life. Couldn’t recommend it enough. It’s been neat to see them popping up more in local stores, though. A decade ago, that was unheard of.

Ages ago, I had the owner of a business I supported tell me I could remote into his computer any time that day, it would be available to me. I remoted in about 5 minutes after that call and he was amidst some fullscreen hardcore pornography. I respect that sort of move.
