Easy. Anywhere the white cells touch will form a curve if you’re not looking at them directly.

Not surprising. Israel had the tech to bug everyone’s phones.
The Israeli NSO group which is a day 1 hacks group developed the Pegasus spyware and found lots of creative ways to get it on peoples phones. They also solid it later on to just about anyone who was willing to pay.

Tbf it’s rare to see normal people posting on social media in 2024, at least everyone I see is fucked up in some way.
This might be a bold assumption on my part but I would say most normal people do not have the energy for the craziness that occurs on a lot of socials now.
You want to engage and be a part of the community but it’s just far too exhausting in many cases. Easier to just browse most of the time.

I really don’t think that this was necessary.
- Comment on YouTube now vs then 2 months ago:
Guessing by kids we’re talking about young children and not teenagers because old YouTube was practically made for teenagers. The more popular layouts people used back then often had the same aesthetic as myspace pages. There was more gaming content on the site than anything else, followed by viral vids (=3).
There’s a lot to dislike about the modern structure of the platform but as a grown adult I appreciate that there’s a much larger variety of content now which was essentially what the shift in design was supposed to achieve.
- Comment on When shitposting becomes constiposting 2 months ago:
From the context it was obviously an offhanded joke,
Ah so that’s the thread in question. Was wondering what post it was and honestly, I suspected that one of being rage bait.
The original image seemed like it was missing context so I figured OP was gonna come swinging in later against any comments saying it was extreme with the additional context.
- Comment on Anon's gf is unfulfilled 2 months ago:
4 years and one canceled marriage 3 months prior. 5 if you count the fact that I took her back twice before realizing she was always going to be like that.
I feel you even if I wouldn’t say I’m entirely happy.
- Comment on Crystals 2 months ago:
At this point people can believe in whatever they want as long as it doesn’t harm anyone else. Someone believing in a bunch of crystals and burning their money on them is a lot less harmless than other beliefs that I won’t mention.

Thank you. This really is just asking to pour gasoline on the fire.
- Comment on I've heard it clears up again after the first wave of divorces 2 months ago:
I hate how true this is.
What’s worse is that many of the people who didn’t fall into that trap have been waiting to responsibly have children later, which I also don’t want. Finding anyone down here that is interested in being child free down here is a challenge and finding someone who doesn’t expect to have a busy life to make up for it is even more difficult.
- Comment on Is this normal for girls or just a extreme edge case? (Serious question) 2 months ago:
It’s a shitposting meme. The poster has this pinned on their twitter: Image
That said… I have heard horror stories about poor theater staff finding cucumbers after the 50 shades premiere. Some of it was just people memeing and trying to prank but I’m not entirely sure about all of it.
- Comment on this one goes out to the urban planning nerds 2 months ago:
It’s like a lot of things in life. It depends and it can be complicated.
Upfront costs for infrastructure besides the panels themselves is expensive and in places where electricity is already cheap companies won’t bother.
You also have to conduct tests to ensure that the grid and transformers can handle more power, and if they can’t then you have more infrastructure that needs upgrades.
I’m not saying we shouldn’t do this. We really need to in the long run but it isn’t something we can simply snap our fingers and do instantly.

Forgot about that banger.

Guessing this person made some sort of mistake.
A lot of people on Fetlife for example know to vet their partners thoroughly so they don’t end up with a serial killer and to be careful with the information trail they leave on there.
- Comment on History is written by the victors 3 months ago:
Even if you look past the cruelties committed, it’s still disappointing.
I’ve read a variety of books on various wars and those that we were involved in were mostly disappointing in regards to tactical decisions. Everything after the revolution either feels like a fluke or just simply feels as if we brute forced our way through with resources until the post WWII era where various campaigns failed due to guerilla warfare. I’m oversimplifying but especially early on in its life the country’s militia was a bit unimpressive.
- Comment on Ironing 4 months ago:
I like ironing my clothes though and if you show up to a formal family event with a shirt that looks like you rolled around in it, then I will offer to iron for you before the next time.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 5 months ago:
Knowing my luck they would both turn on me if I was in that situation.
I do appreciate how there’s more women in online games now though. FFXIV has a lot of women, and it’s great because I don’t have to be that guy anymore and deal with identity politics if someone acts out. There will probably be another woman in the group who is equally annoyed by whatever bad behavior is going on and call it out.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 5 months ago:
This is an online forum. You can’t tell me not to respond or not to discuss something. Doing so isn’t misogynism.
You want to see misogynism? Go hunt down the guys who treat women like objects in the OP. I don’t know what you want from me.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 5 months ago:
Everyone involved is at fault yeah. Don’t know what you want me to say.
- Comment on Anon has nerdy hobbies 5 months ago:
Would have been nice if more of the women in mmorpgs I played growing up were like that. Too many guilds were torn apart intentionally by women who damn well knew what they were doing and knew that at least one of your staff members was easy to twist around their fingers.

Could be Québécois . They put the dollar sign after the number, rather than before if I recall.

YouTube already does this in a less invasive way. “Here’s this random video on theory crafting how we can put life on Mars that we just thought you might like.”

Cats are the rightful rulers of this world. It would be foolish to oppose them.
- Comment on "I wish you well in your future endeavors" 7 months ago:
I’ve played this game before, although not entirely as formal. It’s basically when you don’t want to ghost each other, and you’re both being or attempting to be polite about it so that you can keep them as a possibility for later.
I’m not saying to be uncivil, but that’s usually what’s going on, and it’s really obvious when you don’t have any long term commitments between each other that won’t need to be resolved in the future.
- Comment on Yep, defintely not a bad person 7 months ago:
Yeah, probably Poe’s Law. Probably.
- Comment on I'm guilty, lol 7 months ago:
Think it’s cause I’m a slow texter but I’ve never had the issue. Might also just be due to a lot online chats not really using it anymore.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Oh absolutely. You’re right, framing it that way does seem to ignore the current issues we face as a society.
I believe that our mental health as a society is problematic, but it’s not the individual’s fault due to neglect. There are root causes in the background that are responsible. People don’t need therapy, but rather living conditions need to improve.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
I don’t mean to sweep this under the rug, but I think that just stands as another case for the fact that an enormous amount of people in this country have mental health issues. It’s normalized at this point.
Besides that, news outlets that report on this only do so basically of the drama and the views. The solutions are in front of us, always have been, but that’s not what anyone truly cares about.
