  • Good catch, on both accounts. I'd say there's a 50:50 chance that the mp4 is porn, though.

  • Yes you will; "White & Nerdy" at 4020kB at the top and then again at 11,764kB down below? If you were paying attention, you could usually figure it out ahead of time, but it was easy to miss as a middle-schooler

  • Dr. Phil was embedded with ICE during controversial Los Angeles immigration raids

    Jump

  • I can see your point, but I respectfully disagree. I find the desert to fairly beautiful, and at least Bakersfield and Stockton have more of a small-town feel. IMO, LA combines all the negatives of Stockton and Bakersfield into one plasticized, superficial mess; LA's better at covering up their flaws, but there's a certain authenticity in owning your blemishes.

  • While I stand in solidarity with my fellow Californians, LA is objectively the worst part of California.

  • Titan Quest II Deep Dive

    Jump

  • The original Titan Quest was one of, if not the last, physical game i ever bought. I never got it working on my computer at the time, but I will never forget it just because of the fact I still possess the physical case and disc.

  • The Faculty, any day

    Jump

  • Son in Law is one of my partner's favorite movies, and even being introduced to it in the late 2000's, I can see the appeal. Peak Pauly Shore. Plus, there really aren't that many Thanksgiving movies, so it's right up there with Planes, Trains, and Automobiles for the Mount Rushmore of Thanksgiving movies.

  • It's always too crowded already

    Jump

  • I'm not sure if you're joking or not (Poe's Law and all), but Norm MacDonald told this joke (word for word) in 1996 on SNL's Weekend Update. Some social media account added the transcript of the joke to an old photo of Norm to post it as a meme. That says nothing about whether or not North Carolina is currently executing people; it's just someone retelling an old joke.

    Jump

  • Considering this is a Norm MacDonald bit from Weekend Update, I'm pretty sure this is from the 90's.

  • Kerbal Space Program has tons of mods that add realism, including a "realism overhaul" and a "Real Solar System" mod that also adds a realistic sky box

  • IIRC, the seven canaries are all disguised ancient gold dragons, and Bahamut himself is known as "the platinum dragon," so murderhobos should prepared to get their shit rocked.

  • Increased AI Use Linked to Eroding Critical Thinking Skills

    Jump

  • "Linked to," though; don't mix up correlation with causation yet. The article also talks about how the cognitive unloading caused by AI use is also negatively correlated with age, and while I don't want to let AI off the hook (or the corporations pushing it), critical thinking skills in general aren't the strongest within the 17yo-25yo age bracket.

    Then again, I'm more than a little high, so maybe I'm totally missing something here.

  • It's not the author, it's the neurotypical dino. I think the point is that neurotypical people think ADHD behaviors/symptoms are voluntary.

  • I was gonna say, the next few in line could George W. Bush, George Bush Senior, Eisenhower, Teddy Roosevelt, etc.

  • 1955 was as old in 1990 as 1990 is in 2025.

    Jump

  • I’m sure someone will come along and point out that the 90s were no more or less peaceful than any other decade

    Not to be that guy, but there was the whole Bosnian Genocide thing from 92-95 and the Gulf War from 90-91 that really legitimized the US practice of inference in the Middle East in the eyes of many US citizens. Up until then, most Americans still saw intervention a la the Iran Contra Affair as a negative.

    Plus, the Troubles in North Ireland were still in pretty high gear until 1998, most of Africa was involved in civil wars and ethnic cleansing for a large chunk of the 90's, and the collapse of the USSR, which was viewed as a positive in many parts of the world, did leave a power vacuum that resulted in numerous civil wars and militant separatist movements throughout eastern Europe and western Asia

  • Well, considering Murica is a Christian nation, it's fine for politics to be brought into church (and vice versa) as long as it's my religion /s

    YSK about kitchen knives

    Jump

  • I think that's a "santoku" knife, but I'm not an expert. And I think it's the style of knife, not a brand, but it works pretty much just like a chef's knife as near as I can tell (as a home cook that pays attention to techniques but hasn't sought out training on knife styles before)

  • If you're cutting soft soft bread, then a plain blade is fine, but if it's a crusty bread like a sourdough, the serrated blade is much better at cutting the crust without crushing the soft interior (IME, not a chef)

  • How The Muppet Movie Should Have Ended

    Jump

  • Except the antagonist of the Muppets movie knew Kermit was a frog, which is why he wanted to kill him and eat/sell his frog legs at his frog leg restaurant. You're right that no one saw anything unusual about a talking frog (and that is part of the humor), but at least some people recognized that he was a frog.

  • Critical thinking

    Jump

  • In order to practice medicine effectively, I need to know almost everything about how humans work and what they get up to in the world outside the exam room.

    This attitude is why people complain about doctors having God complexes and why doctors frequently fall victim to pseudoscientific claims. You think you know far more about how the world works than you actually do, and it's my contention that that is a result of the way med students are taught in med school.

    I'm not saying I know everything about how the world works, or that I know better than you when it comes to medicine, but I know enough to recognize my limits, which is something with which doctors (and engineers) struggle.

    Granted, some of these conclusions are due to my anecdotal experience, but there are lots of studies looking at instruction in med school vs grad school that reach the conclusion that medicine is not science specifically because medical schools do not emphasize skepticism and critical thought to the same extent that science programs do. I'll find some studies and link them when I'm not on mobile.

    edit: Here's an op-ed from a professor at the University of Washington Medical School. Study 1. Study 2.
