  • Lol I wonder if windowscentral and MS got in a feedback loop and that's why MS was surprised at how much people hate copilot integration with the OS and every program they can shove it into.

  • I need more information. Are the potatoes stuck in your throat mashed? Or if they aren't, are you able to get a masher in there? Might help loosen it up and make it more delicious if you add some butter and milk or heavy cream.

  • It's not just political clout. Attempting to politically force veganism on the world would result in a war, not just votes against it.

  • Hmm ok, let me do some research on hot potatoes and I'll get back to you.

  • It's something I've thought about a bunch and the strategy I've come up with is:

    If your breath is blocked, hold your breath at first and stay calm. Trying to breathe in could wedge it farther in. And trying to breathe out will likely move it, but gravity might just drop it back where it was only with less air in your lungs, which you need to help dislodge the obstruction. Panicking will make you more likely to waste your chance at getting it without needing to fall on something and potentially break ribs (or fail and die). You'll probably have to suppress your cough reflex. I've never done this before and have no idea how much conscious control one would have in that moment and I'm also someone who trained myself to be able to suppress coughs (to avoid embarrasing bong hits lol).

    Lean forward, the farther the better, to the point where loose food in your throat will just fall out your mouth. Then cough, if you make it also a growl, you can add more force, as you don't want to half-ass this. Your air might still be limited.

    You should be able to feel if you're making any progress. If you are, keep at it, if not, switch to the "fall on something to knock the wind out of you" strategy, still keeping your mouth angled down and add a cough as it impacts.

    If that fails, make a big ruckus. I've told my daughter that if she starts choking and can't speak to get my attention, knock dishes onto the floor to get my attention. If you're completely alone in your home, throw a pot out your window before running out your front door. Try to be efficient with your time and energy. Dial 911 and hope they send someone and don't assume a prank call or a kid when no one responds.

  • Learn to be ok with taking the L and spit food that is too hot back out of your mouth instead of swallowing. Also, test the temperature with smaller bits that will cool inside your mouth easier before going for a big bite.

  • 2-3m is still overestimating it. It's as wide as a non-obese person, so like 0.5m or less.

    Edit: looking again, maybe 1m, since it actually looks about the width of their hands stretched out a bit to lean on.

  • It's financial fraud with a romance hook. It's like nigerian prince scams, except instead of some rich prince who will pay you back many times over, the motivation is helping your long distance lover with some big financial problem that came up.

    It's not just referring to people getting catfished (it's possible the other person is even real, because it's a lot more effective when they can do video chats and video chat sex... And it might even involve human trafficking and/or slavery and that woman's whole "job" is to have video chat sex with targets).

    That said, I think those are all just excuses, valid threats or not.

  • I think Breaking Bad belongs in the middle one with Futurama because I don't think it required intelligence to be entertained.

    My first watch through was purely a "watch Hal do some crazy shit" where the action entertained and everything else was just an annoyance. I just didn't care about the moral implications or whatever message the show was trying to make, I was happy watching an "outsider enters dangerous world he knows little about and fucks shit up".

    Second watch through I stopped seeing him as Hal and disliked him before the end of the first episode. If anything, he was more like Malcolm (book smart but otherwise dumb and entitled).

    Though maybe that's more just about BB being entertaining even if you aren't the target audience.

  • Yeah, all the word policing kinda feels like a psyop because it's stirring up a lot of conflict without any real benefit. Controlling what words are ok doesn't make people respect the ones hurt by the words, and ultimately it's the disrespect that causes the hurt, the words are just the manifestation of that.

    Like with disabled people, pretty much every word used to describe them has become an insult and any new word will just suffer the same fate pretty much the same day it gets popularized.

    But the argument itself is polarizing, though in a way that makes the other side shut up about it until they can find like minded people. And might end up joining MAGA because they think it's about trolling people policing language and words like "woke" end up having very different meanings to the different groups (one side sees it as a respect for all regardless of background or capabilities, the other sees it as a drive for censorship) to the point where people supporting the other side seem "evil", which then means that as MAGAs wake up and see it is about more than just policing words, their opponents are more likely to tell them to fuck off than.

    And that's not even mentioning the people who take the stance "my racism/sexism is ok because it's against the race/gender with more power", and the people who treat non-malicious acknowledgement of differences between genders/races/cultures the same as malicious ones and no fucking wonder there's strong opposition.

  • Oh I agree, but as long as they can find people to buy their weapons (even on credit that depends on successfully using them) or weild them for them, they won't be going anywhere. And automation is quickly approaching the point where they won't even need others to choose to fight.

  • On the other hand, I suspect I'm on the spectrum but can't relate to this at all. I love a variety of food and would get bored to death if I had to eat the same thing all the time.

    I also like new and unexpected textures in foods (unless I'm already familiar with it and know it isn't supposed to have that texture). That shit's delightful.

    But maybe it's just the ADD overpowering anything else in the constant search for new sources of easy dopamine (while also overriding any urgency towards actually context shifting to eating or cooking mode).

  • Problem with arms races is you can't end them unless everyone agrees to end them, otherwise you just forfeit.

  • "Moon landing" photo where the angles of the shadows are all off.

    Jump

  • Which is pretty crazy when you think about it, hitting a target about 1.3 lightseconds away. As in, if you could sight it, you'd be looking at where it was 1.3 seconds ago. Because it is moving at about 1km/s relative to us. And don't read that as km/h, that's one kilometer every second, so by the time you see it, it's already about 1.3km from where you see it, so you need to lead it by about 2.6km to hit it but aim your sensor at the apparent image.

    Though it's so far away that it doesn't look that hard and the angle of difference between where you aim the laser and where you pick up the return signal is less than 0.00001 degree (thus you can solve that problem by ignoring it but still, just hitting that tiny distant moving target at all is impressive).
