Cest une pomme!

Reading through these comments is depressing and my only hope is that I will be dead before the droughts lead to food shortages that effect me. I like eating, I like eating good food, I like having good food available when I want it. I don’t like being hungry. I hope I’m dead before I have to deal with starvation. At least nuclear war would be quick.

Megaprojects are a pipe dream. We can’t even deal with a lowball pandemic together as a nation. What hope do we have of coming together as a world? Let alone for something that isn’t going to have immediate consequences slapping us in the face. We’re a pathetic society that can’t do anything good. All we do is consume. Mr. Smith was right, we’re a virus.

We’re heading for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi future, and all the horrible shit that goes along with it.

In a fucked up way, our only hope is if a mega power somehow dominates the world through some horrific war and consolidates power, while somehow avoiding nuclear war and then does a quick 180° straight into eco-fascism. That’s the glorious future we have to look forward to. Life under a global authoritarian regime with severe austerity measures to deal with global warming. People will starve, people will be executed. The horrors of Stalinism will be our reality, and it is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.

I fucking hope I die, because I wasn’t built for suffering.

I vaguely remember something about them trying to revoke some kind of licensing that let people use their intellectual property, but they ended up settling for rewording the licensing because the backlash from the customers was significant. Ie. Boycotting.

Or something along those lines. Business fucks around, business finds out. They’ll try again in the future, but there are plenty of other table top games people can roll dice to now.

Mining our information and selling it has proven to be a 1 trillion dollar speculative industry. Not sure what they want to do with it outside of trying to sell me shit I don’t want, don’t need and don’t have money for. Maybe someone will notice that people aren’t buying stuff based on ads, then the economy will be in trouble.

I’m going to offer an alternative.

Steam lets you streamplay games from your computer to another computer.
Your phone is a computer.

You don’t like the built in controls for a phone.
You can pair xbox and ps5 controllers to androids phones with little to no effort. Not sure about other phone OS’s, and quite frankly, not my bag baby.

So now you have a controller hooked up to your phone, and it’s channeling games from your computer over wifi.

Never had a cause to try it personally, but I might just do that and come back to confirm it works.

Might save you a couple bucks for your kids college fund.

I think there’s a problem with people wanting a fully developed brand new technology right out the gate. The cell phones of today didn’t happen overnight, it started with a technology that had limitations and people innovated.

AI is a technology that has limitations, people will innovate it. Hopefully.

I think my favorite potential use case for AI is academics. There are countless numbers of journal articles that get published by students, grad students and professors, and the vast majority of those articles don’t make an impact. Very few people read them, and they get forgotten. Vast amounts of data, hypotheses and results that might be relevant to someone trying to do something good, important or novel but they will never be discovered by them. AI can help with this.

Of course there’s going to be problems that come up. Change isn’t good for everyone involved, but we have to hope that there is a net good at the end. I’m sure whoever was invested in the telegram was pretty choked when the phone showed up, and whoever was invested in the carrier pigeon was upset when the telegram showed up. People will adapt, and society will benefit. To think otherwise is the cynical take on the same subject. The glass is both half full and half empty. You get to choose your perspective on it.

Firby I’m sad, play despacito

Ibuprofen + acetaminophen at the same time.

Alternate ice and heat in 15 min intervals. You can get an electric heating pad they work well. Lay on the floor to do it.

Get a firm mattress. If that’s out of your immediate price range, sleep on a folded blanket or a mat on the floor. Your shoulders might get cranky, but it will be relief on your back.

Walk.

Bend at the knees for everything.

Light stretching, nothing that puts an unsupported load on your lower back.

Ab exercises. Planking is your friend.

I vaguely remember hearing something about redhat in the past doing something else the Linux community didn’t like. I think it was back around 2008ish. Can anyone jog my memory? I was a bit too young to care at the time.

I personally like the roulette every time I make a risky click. Am I going to get some horrific medical gore that doctors use to desensitize themselves, or am I going to get cock and ball torture, maybe it’s a sports illustrated calendar girl, or bread nailed to a tree. Who knows? It’s the internet. A terrible place where you can’t trust someone didn’t intentionally mislabel something just to trick you into watching Rick Astley busting some sick dance moves to a catchy song.
I suppose they could make differentiating nsfw types an optional thing though.

The infamous nipple bot. Boldly finding nipples where no nipples were found before.

Ok so there’s a thing called Colyte, thats the brand name. It is a polyethylene glycol electrolyte juice. You can ask for it at a pharmacy, they might have a different brand. It tastes pretty good. Now it’ll get you real cleaned out, so you’ll have to keep eating like some kind of horrific human centipede. Drink lots of water, stay hydrated.

You’re not a failure, you’re a content creator!

It’s marketing, it’s propaganda, it’s psyops. Influencing what posts make it to the front page, what posts stay in hot, what opinions get upvoted or downvoted just to make them look popular or unpopular. Mass reporting for posts that offend them. Having entirely fake, scripted conversations to convey points in a more trusted manner in order to influence the reader.

Remember, nobody is immune propaganda.

I would say thank you butt…

I’m not a memer but can someone spin up the scene from team america, i feel it would be very fitting

Oatmeal. Not exactly date night, but it’s hot and healthy.
Get large flake oats, not the instant stuff.
Boil 1 cup of water in a small pot.
Decrease heat to mid-low.
Add 1/2 cup oats. Stir only once.
Cook for 10 minutes,
let cool for 10 minutes,
eat for 10 minutes.

You’ll want to watch it closely for a minute or two after you add the oats to make sure it doesn’t boil over. If it looks like its going to boil over just remove the pot from the heat till it calms down, and decrease the heat a little maybe, every oven is diff. It still needs to simmer though.

You can season it with whatever you want after cooking it: maple syrup, milk, oat milk, brown sugar, chocolate chips, raisins or other dried fruits (if you do raisins add them to the water before the oatmeal), cinammon, apples… etc.
Maybe a small pinch of salt.

Vegetable sushi, no soy sauce though its made with garlic
Cut cucumber in long quarters
Make 2 cups dry rice
Mix together 1/4 cup brown sugar and 1/2 cup unseasoned rice vinegar +1 tsp salt
Add the mixture to the rice after it finishes cooking and while it’s still hot
Mix it in until it starts to get sticky
Get a small cup of room temp water
Take seaweed sheets and spread the rice thinly across it, leave ~2 cm at the end unriced (for sealing)
Lay the cucumber across the rice and roll it up, doing the uncovered end last. Use the water to moisten the 2cm stretch so that it sticks to the roll and seals it closed.
Cover and refrigerate them until they cool, cut and eat

You can top with toasted sesame seeds for added flavor.
Candied ginger is also nice.
Matchsticked carrots marinated in sugar and vinegar too.
You can get creative with the vegetable.
I like my wasabi in soy sauce so I won’t suggest it.

Edit:
I should also mention that different rice will have different results. Cal-rose rice works well. Basmati rice not well.
Edit 2:
Jfc i forgot salt of course. It gets mixed in with the vinegar and sugar.

So uhh, step one: get cholera (it lives on shellfish, and plankton do with this what you will, lick some shells or something)
Step two: ingest cholera
Step three: try not to die
