are you sure it’s gaslamping? last i heard gaslamping is a term for when you start making random shit into gas lamps for no particular reason, seems to be a weird anomalous quality of certain post industrialized human societies.

Repeat yourself? Why?
I’m confused.

i believe a lot of protein sequencing has been done by AI models as well. It’s a huge boon to specific science industry where you simply need LARGE breadths of processing power, which is traditionally too expensive for humans.

Christmas 1972 saw heavy bombing raids carried out over the North Vietnamese capital Hanoi by American B-52 bombers. All over the world, thousands of people took to the streets in protest. The man who ordered the bombing was at the same time spearheading cease-fire negotiations. The armistice took effect in January 1973, and the same autumn Henry Kissinger was awarded the Peace Prize together with his counterpart Le Duc Tho. The latter refused to accept the Prize, and for the first time in the history of the Peace Prize two members left the Nobel Committee in protest.
not sure that napalming babies is a historically accurate telling of the events. But uh, satire predicts reality i suppose.

i believe if you do a double space at the end of each line it also stops automatic word wraping. Cute little trick. IDK why it works that way, it’s kind of stupid, but whatever.

because markdown is a mess.
There are like 5 standard implementations, though technically commonmark is the most widely utilized, and like a billion other ones outside of it.
Zero implementations of commonmark are even similar to each other.
I mean we’re talking about web devs here, they aren’t exactly the brightest of the bunch, or well, any bunch.
- Comment on Anon calls in for financial advice 1 day ago:
the trick here is balancing between liquid assets, physical assets you could sell (cars, things, another house maybe) and investments into the stock market, where you can still beat your inflation handily. It requires more money overall, but you pull out more money long term as well. And if you play your cards right, you get minimum risk aversion. While still managing to put yourself in an economically sound place.
- Comment on Anon calls in for financial advice 1 day ago:
that literally wouldn’t matter to them, if OP responds i would bet you a lot of a fucking money they would simply say “ok and?” and then leave.

evolution would just call you a bozo and say it’s a skill issue. So maybe it was intentional, because it would be funny.

I would fucking love if my biggest problem was that my reproductive organs were dangling between my legs and got a bit hot once in awhile.
i mean, men are historically pre-disposed to dying earlier than women. Though i wonder if that actually changes at all going back historically, so at least you have that?

i mean, semantically if the world is the “screen” the optical nerve is the “image sensor” and the wires are the nerves/blood vessels.
It checks out.

when you interact with something on such a deep level, for me i’m a linux enthusiast and computer hardware nerd. I know quite a bit about computers, networking, operating systems and malware. These things are just second nature.
Basically all implementations of these things in movies, shows or generally any media at all, is pretty inaccurate, unless it’s not the direct focal point, in which case it’s “accurate enough” because it literally doesn’t matter and could be some obscure implementation of something.
It’s like if you hired someone, who doesn’t know anything about that particular job position, to do that particular job (because that’s literally what happens more of the time) they just pay someone to “make it happen” and it does, and it’s often not very accurate.
When it does happen accurately, thank god they hired some weird grey beard with archaic knowledge on unix and historically relevant hardware setups, because holy shit does it add SO much to the media.

i mean, to be fair basically no movie is shot in the place where it’s plot originated. Same for TV shows.
- Comment on Anon watches It 1 day ago:
they do the same thing with phone rings.
It’s practically all one specific wall mount model, only the problem is that it was dubbed from a record recording, so it has warble on it. And you can very clearly hear it.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 day ago:
all marriages would include first marraiges, what you’re trying to say is that people who divorce, are more likely to divorce more than once, several times even. Which disproportionately pushes up the divorce rate.
Now would be a good time to pull stats for first marriage divorce if there are any good ones.

is the joke here that this thread is fake and gay?
Did i do a 4chan correctly?
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 day ago:
it’s a dating app. Nobody wants anything from them.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 day ago:
idk im pretty gay, also asexual. I just dislike people in general. I feel like it’s not that hard to be an incel, and i feel like it’s also pretty hard to socialize, but that’s just me i suppose.
I feel like it’s not that complicated honestly.
- Comment on Anon is worried about men 1 day ago:
im pretty sure people do.
Last i checked they were pretty important.

well yeah, it’s an insult. That’s like looking at a gun, and then being really confused when it’s capable of killing somebody.
Insults aren’t commonly derived from compliments, they’re often derived from offensive terminology, or context. That’s arguably the whole point.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 5 days ago:
no, you’re assuming i care about the poster, for all i care this isn’t even a real scenario.
I’m more concerned with how people are justifying immediately flipping on something like this with this little information, and to be fair, a number of people did concede that.

idk i like pissing people off on the internet i guess. It’s how i get my read on social norms these days.
As the ancient reddit thread once said, tell everyone that they’re doing it wrong, and everybody will immediately help you to find the answer. (they will just be an asshole about it)
Works great here too!

bro i make fun of my friends in public. I don’t talk to people unless it’s a group. Simple as.
If it’s ok for me to be harsh with people in public, i see no reason to stop being harsh with them in private, assuming it meets those boundaries.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 1 week ago:
motherfucker is literally an insult, but ok.
- Comment on The consequences (of my actions) have been extreme 1 week ago:
to be clear, the wiki page you explicitly linked literally say it has a historical connotation, and the primary example it lists is from checks notes 53 years ago.
I’m going to hazard a guess that the sentiment has probably changed, a little bit. Since 1972. 1972 to be clear, was 8 years after the passing of the civil rights act. It’s a bit of a different time period now.
anyway point is, i’m not convinced anybody cares about using this as a homophobic slur anymore.
Sorry for the short temper, this thread has been too long and I already explained this on another comment.
it’s whatever, that’s how the internet is lol. This thread has been more than amusing for me thus far.

Yeah but the proportion of intensity also matters. The n word literally dates back to slavery. It makes sense that it would be a pretty offensive racial line to cross. Although i don’t think it’s fully strict, i think it’s just mostly strict, you can find examples outside of it.
There’s also the question of a slur being situationally relevant. For example, you could write out the n word in long form, specifically for the act of describing it, in a dictionary for instance. You would struggle to argue that it’s a necessarily “racist” usage of the word.
For the same reason i would argue that “cocksucker” isn’t necessarily a slur against gay people, for example, if you don’t use it for the purposes of specifically slurring a gay person. Which also brings into question whether or not it is even a slur in the first place.
Of course there are also words like faggot for example, which are more directly linked to gay people, and being a slur specifically in that regard, it doesn’t have much use outside of that. But even then people do still use it, primarily gay people. Some of us just think it’s a funny word. (you can call me a faggot all you want i don’t care, i just think you look silly lmao) though i would still explicitly denote the slurred usage of faggot.
And even if you were gay, that does not make you immune to internelized homophobia.
and this would be pretty fundamentally “schizo” like we’re talking freudian psychology levels of psycho analysis and diagnosing here. There are certainly select cases where that could theoretically be possible, but i don’t see that being worth more than interesting psychological banter. I mean realistically, it’s meaningless in 99% of cases. There’s going to be another more aggressive tell.
Just like there are plenty of black people who disagree with the usage of the word removed even if spoken by a black person, because it is still rooted in racism.
and you can be against the usage of it, for sure, but i think you’ll have a hard time finding black people who police what other black people say. Just as you will in this case.

i suppose that’s fair. But it’s also an insult. They’re not meant to be nice.
