  • Someone has a LOT of dusty computers

  • They do, just some people don't care and are happy enough to deal with that and get the high off it. I'm not sure it's a good high but y'know I guess whatever.

    I feel like you can get better highs for cheaper, I don't really know why people choose to inhale that shit but they do.

    If you want to get high off of a gas I'd say it's way way waaaaaY safer to just inhale nitrous oxide (whippits), It won't be the same high but it's probably better overall, can't say I've ever huffed canned air though so can't do a true comparison.

    Just the stuff in canned air is so much worse for your body and brain.

  • The Lessons of SOMA Are Timeless

    Jump

  • My review for Soma, I really should get around to replaying it at some point:

    Wow ... a storytelling EXPERIENCE. I rarely finish games, this one gripped me from beginning to end. About 10 hours or so of gameplay, I'm not sure if there is much replay value to be had - perhaps a few dialogue variations.

    The themes of existentialism, the threat of AI, and humanity's future are all beautifully blended together in a deeply enthralling way. This game is scary and definitely has its moments of terror but it is not heavy on jump scares (there are a couple though).

    The graphics hold up well. Mechanically there isn't any novel ground being tread but what is there is solid and works well. This game is definitely more about inhabiting the mind of Simon and less about running away from scary stuff although it does have plenty of times where you will be doing just that.

    Buy this one on sale and you will more than get your money's worth in entertainment value. Definitely a game that gives you a lot to think about.

  • Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead

  • It's kind of insane how many people had to fuck just for you to exist. Like just thousands of humans stretching through our vast history ... Nutting.

    https://www.emse.fr/~zimmermann/RAFT/RAFTpapers/Examples/nocomment.pdf. < The actual paper

    You're right it was crazy to read. It's wild what people will do, I was actually impressed by the other case they cited that was similar where a guy got concrete poured in and it cured. They were able to give him relaxers and get the concrete out without surgery. Too bad the glue stuck to the inner walls and couldn't get taken out without surgery. What an absolutely wild thing to put up your ass though - like I'm not here to shame anyone but just put stuff up there that's not gonna fucking kill you.

  • Thank you! I like reading bizarre stuff sometimes and this sounds crazy. Another commenter said the paper was comedy gold so let's see what it's all about.

    Edit: Best part is the last sentence of the whole paper saying patients should be offered psychological help. "yo, heard you were shoving stuff up your asshole you should not be, wanna talk about it?"

  • The Longest Suicide Note in American History | The Trump administration’s new National Security Strategy targets liberal democracy itself.

    Jump

  • Bro I read that a few years ago now. One, good book. Two, the creepy borderline pedophilia in it was weird. Three: it is quite a bleak outlook for most people but I also think that it's closer to reality than I'd like to admit. Same with Cyberpunk 2077, at this rate we're basically running with our arms wide open towards that dystopian hell for the future of our planet.

  • ICE agents tackle, arrest American citizen in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • Yeah it's a bummer. History is full of shitty stuff, too much of it is the same as now. Also if you study history or sociology any you start to see that humans, no matter how we organize ourselves, fall into sadly predictable patterns by stubbornly refusing to learn the lessons of our past.

  • ICE agents tackle, arrest American citizen in Minneapolis

    Jump

  • I know this is a little off topic but I'm tired of the whole "Nazis were well organized and ran things like a well oiled machine" trope because it's just fantasy.

    There were a ton of rather inept people in office, plenty of idiots running amock and the military structure was a joke where people who had no business playing commander got to make life and death decisions.

    Like I really encourage anyone to just do some more reading on how the whole government and military was organized and the cascade of errors that came about because of it. There is a reason the third Reich lasted only 12 years and it's not just because they made bad decisions in the lead up to and during world war 2.

  • "I hate you! Leave me alone!....No, kiss me! Your ears are so big!"

  • That's kind of how the whole joke unfolds.

    !The joke is Rutherford comes in and just enables the window dimming which Boimler could have done the whole time!<

  • I hate that humans really do the dumbest shit and sometimes it benefits other bad humans because the ignorant ones don't realize they're getting fucked.

    Crypto is a perfect example. It's being traded and treated like a security but it is literally backed by thin air. Bitcoin is a huge bubble propped up by speculators and sooner or later it will come tumbling down.

    I do wish I was brave or stupid enough to buy into crypto because it can pay out but only because the people who are all in on it don't actually know how it works. It's definitely mostly just rug pulls and scams in crypto land.

    The idea of a decentralized global currency is not bad per se but all the current implementations of crypto are bad and not being used like currency at all.

  • What? "a" should all be the same value idk what teachers you had but math doesn't change based on your location.

  • Trying to find a messenger bag at Amazon

    Jump

  • Not to be that guy but there's no way in hell that $700 is true. There are pages of fridges for less than $400 that are 7 cu ft.

    Here's one for $300

    I mean, fuck Amazon and all that jazz, don't get me wrong - I just feel like it's worth noting the hyperbole. It's not that bad, at least from an end consumer perspective.

    Amazon is admittedly powered by greed and the tears of the proletariat but they do a good job keeping the customer happy.

  • Ignoring the equity you gain when you're paying down a mortgage on a house.

    Any expenses that come with house ownership are paid by rent.

    Just ... No.

  • That's interesting

    Jump

  • Bro seriously seriously growing up all I heard was how you can't trust the internet and the 12 year old girl you're talking to might actually be a 300lb middle aged man.

    Then, boom Facebook comes along and now apparently their whole generation forgot people lie on the internet and have no sense of media literacy. It's insane the stuff people will believe.

  • Journalist Reveals FBI Is Offering a “Bounty” for Reporting “Anti-Trump Thought”

  • I kind of feel like if aliens do exist and they can travel FTL and visit Earth, they probably also would belong to some organization that controls space travel and our planet would be marked as a no go zone.

    We are incredibly violent apex predators who have reshaped the very planet in our image with an unending thirst for resource consumption. I feel like aliens would not want to give us access to their tech because we are dangerous.

    That's just my hunch though, in reality I have no idea. For all I know some space Mormons will show up and absolutely wreck our shit and enslave us. We're smart enough we'd make good pets and/or work animals. Regardless, if aliens do show up and reveal themselves to us I hope they have kind intentions.

  • U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday

    Jump

  • No debtors prison but there is a credit score. And that shit is the gateway to paying less for everything when you're borrowing money. Especially for a mortgage on a house so you actually have equity in the property you're living in.

    Wrecking your credit score basically gate keeps you from a lot of stuff sadly.

    I mean, I know you said /s but just saying fucking up your credit can screw you hard in the hyper capitalist hellscape we live in.

  • Samsung smart fridges have started displaying ads

    Jump

  • That sucks. Yeah, fighting is the keyword there.

    I mean, I'll put it this way, I wouldn't recommend Samsung appliances and won't buy them again in the future but I have not found any major problems with mine five years on (save the fridge).

    I agree though that there are enough bullshit problems that pop up and having a severe lack of good customer service is a combo that's steering me away from Samsung. However, they are ubiquitous for a reason.
