Zuckerberg and Musk both feature themselves heavily in their company’s marketing, unlike Google’s founders. It’s hard to see any news about the companies without seeing those two.
Also Americans hate Gates and Bezos? I hear people shittalk them far more often than Zuckerberg in real life. Especially Gates, since he’s the center of a lot of conspiracy theories too
Thanks for reminding me to delete my account. It’s been trying to force that log-in thing for a while for me at least. Imagine making a competitor to GitHub that sucks even worse
I remember that developer posting about his game on a development forum on Knockout.chat and getting banned because a zionist threw a fit. Good to see he’s still active!
Pistachio milk is pretty good but stronger flavored. Macadamia nut milk is all around great.
I remember someone posted some meme that was like Instead of saying "I'm the worst worker here", say "I'm a master trickster who will never be caught", but I can’t find it because I have a 0% success rate of using the search feature. Anyone remember where that was?

We were taught PEMDAS as parentheses, exponentiation, multiplication OR division, addition OR subtraction. I don’t know if it was changed at some point but I don’t know anyone who was taught that multiplication comes before divison
Blades in the Dark is a cool heist and organized crime drama ttrpg that uses d6 dice pools (usually not too many, 1 to 5 total)
Learn your local spiders. Moved into a house with a ton of spiders, but after learning to recognize them it turned out only Black Widows were dangerous, and they stick to themselves in sheds and don’t bother us
Now as long as they don’t touch me I’m good with spiders. Love this one’s color!
Rust is very complex, in part due to the obsession with zero cost abstraction that leads to caring about lots of edge cases like NonZero types. But at least when I’ve worked with it, a lot of that you can just ignore and write straight forward code, and it’ll still likely be very performant. Although the Rust sort of philosophy vibes with me better, so not all might find that so forgiving.
I did quit using Rust due to its compile times though. Even using dependencies that would advertise fast building like Bevy quickly started taking more than a minute to build (not from scratch, just making one line changes). And during that minute I’d get bored and do something else, and my productivity plummeted.
every pathfinder 1e character being a Reactionary because some writer making that mistake on one of the most useful traits
SMT negotiations are by far my favorite monster-collecting methods. Just equal parts philosophy, flirtation, and gibberish as they vibe check you.
I don’t know if it was from a mod, but when I played with a friend there was a modifier to disable failing out of songs, so we’d enable it on those songs and just swing along wildly as best we could, and still finish them. Also helped us get a lot better at the game. Maybe that would work?
I love James Acaster. His joke about the British Museum is one of my favorites.
To pick a nit – last I heard, no scholar believes that runes can be read, pronounced, or that we have access to any ancient tradition of meaning. Modern runic divination is based on intuitive interpretation – well and good, but a flimsy basis for reconstructing lost languages and cultures.
Am I just not understanding the authors point or is this like, completely wrong? Linguistics is a real field, and there has been a lot of study into runes and the Germanic language family (probably too much study, considering the issue with Eurocentrism throughout linguistics). Wikipedia is pretty detailed about the different eras and how the runes were pronounced and changed.
The point about modern Runic Divination being vibes based looks to be true, but it seems wrong to bring it up unprompted and conflate the two.
Haven’t seen the video myself and definitely not gonna now, but people under that post were saying that was plagiarized too from a Vanity Fair article.
Looks like going back to old English, strawberries were still berries. The botanical meaning was only added in the 1700s.
So blackberries, raspberries, tomatoes, pineapples, strawberries, and eggplants are all berries
Looks nice, but it fucks up the ligatures in a lot of functional languages other than pipes |>. Poor <$>, >>=, *>, >>>, and all their friends
That sucks. Where I live this is pretty much the only way since we ran out of injectable estrogen for a long time, and the pharmacies here won’t tell us if they can re-order it so I don’t know if the drought is over.
Edit: this prompted me to call around and see if one would answer. Walgreens is claiming they can, but they did that last shortage too.
I switched off Duck Duck Go when the Ukraine war started and they proudly began censoring Russian websites. (Tweet, lib news). If they’re gonna do that what’s the point in using them over Google or Bing? Plus they were advertising on the local radio in my tiny shithole town, which seemed like a red flag for a “less corporate” search engine.
Yandex has been good, mostly glad that it seems better at including the more niche keywords I search instead of ignoring them like Google does
