The Game (which you just lost)

goddamn it I just lost the game…

Dr. Crusher?

She said I have to make a copy of my genitals with one of those silicone mold kits before I can get bottom surgery “then we can both enjoy it”

I was just trying to say it a bit more politely, my bad.

Okay I fully admit I am a reddit-fugee from the API announcement. I didn’t wait for the changes, I just Lore Ipsum/copy pasted dictionary definitions until my account was scrubbed, and deleted the account.

Even so, when I first showed up here, there were maybe 50 up votes on a post, max. That was the front page for the first weeks as people came from reddit, and eventually most left because it’s not as active here and 95% of people are lurkers who don’t even comment. Those 50 up votes were all it would get.

Now this post alone has 260 in its first 3 hours. And I’m sure it will continue to get views and votes all day.

I’m not sure how the tone has changed around here since 2020, but I like the vibes for the most part and if I don’t like a server, I can hop to another one, which I have done several times already.

Quality beats quantity any day of the week

Fediverse numba one!

She is definitely bi, and has said if I wanted to transition I have to make um… a copy. First.

Damn, I guess I either have some lifestyle changes to make, or I’ve got to tell my wife I’m actually homosexual.

Because I’m not cutting my hair.

Although, I do like to feel pretty sometimes, so maybe it just knows something I don’t yet?

im guessing some people have political reasons to dislike russia

If you consider trying to genocide a neighboring country “political reasons” I guess.

Even without all the extra bullshit surrounding the case, and even back when I was a high school republican douchebag who hadn’t even voluntarily stayed home from church yet and still believed cops have our best interests in mind, I STILL would have said this sounds like complete bullshit and they planted evidence.

You can get a pretty good idea of someone’s size by their head and neck. Larger and taller people have bigger necks, and fatter people have… Well, more fat.

Is it bad that the only reason I thought the story was fake was “there’s no way that sized person cut off someone’s head completely, maybe after a dozen chops and some pulling but that article is definitely exaggerating”

You know, rather than “Holy shit that’s insane nobody would do that”

Every argument I have ever heard boils down to “in my specific use-case because of X Y Z and Purple, all the benefits of wired are irrelevant” and the people espousing such opinions don’t at all take into consideration that other people exists and their specific use-case is not at all widely experienced.

“My tinnitus means I can’t distinguish high tones well” okay buddy, but how many other people enjoy distinct highs?

“I move around too much so Bluetooth is the only practical solution” okay my friend, but many people either don’t have that problem, or they’ve found a solution.

Ah. Well that’s a relief, I removed foxit, and never had anything Adobe.

I open the pdfs in inkscape to pull the vector files and save them as an svg. There’s probably a simpler way, but this allows me to open the vector in a lot more programs like my laser software and my CAD programs.

The only pdfs that get printed like a normal person are small rc planes and the files are from trusted sources.

It’s nice to know I can do a little extra to protect myself from pdf based attacks though, thanks for the info!

Boolean operators are meaningless these days.

Any questionable software I have is coming up on 4 years old now, most of it is older than that. I move them to a new machine every time I upgrade, simply because I don’t trust torrents anymore.

Honestly, I don’t trust PDFs anymore unless they’re from places I know are “safe” which kind of sucks because I’ve been getting back into RC as a hobby and it’s hard to find non-pdf plans. I prefer vector files, but I’m having to try my luck with jpg and png files.

A lot of the programs I used to use have been surpassed by current FOSS projects, and I’ve been replacing them as I can. Finding an open source laser engraver program that isn’t shit is proving difficult.

Ugh. They always try to get you with the shipping… Pass.

I have been filling out applications recently and one place wanted me to download a mobile app that would record camera and microphone stuff while I filled out the application

Another company wanted me to record responses on a Webcam.

Whatever the fuck I feel like, damn.

Nosey ass search engine…

Hey, you.

YEAH YOU! WITH THE FACE ON YOUR HEAD!

YOU are a FULLY FLEDGED HUMAN BEING with VALID FEELINGS and DIFFICULTIES!

YOU are BEAUTIFUL and HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF GREAT STRENGTH whether you REALIZE IT OR NOT

YOU can FACE THE DAY ahead and NOBODY CAN STOP YOU unless you LET THEM

If someone wants to HATE YOU FOR EXISTING, then you have to EXIST AS HARD AS POSSIBLE because they aren’t going to change, but YOU DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PETTY SHITHEADS

GO GET EM, TIGER

That place is a monument to mankind’s arrogance.
