If this had been an actual shitpost, you would have been instructed where to stick your antenna (up yer bumhole) to recieve more dank memes.

It can’t be any less scenic than the Four Seasons!

LOL I thought OP was just calling their location a dump bc they’re having a charlie memorial. Nope, turns it it’s literally at the landfill. Now I can’t tell if this is a joke or not.

That term isn’t really used anymore due to the stigma attached to it. Anti-social personality disorder is the term. It’s also clinically different from NPD.

There’s a word for that but I can’t remember. Like saying ATM machine.

I love jay as a creator but he gets things wrong on occasion. Example: he recently made a video suggesting that everyone running nvidia on windows use software to force rebar on globally, which is KNOWN to break games or cause performance issues (which is why it isn’t enabled globally in the first place.) At the end of the day he is still a creator driven by the algorithm and metrics for his livelihood so you gotta take what he says with a grain of salt.

Whoever is fixing your computer absolutely despises you if you’re a smoker. Tar gets everywhere.
- Comment on best episodes for people who've never seen star trek? 3 weeks ago:
strange new worlds has some legitimately good trek. i wish they’d experiment less given there are so few episodes per year but overall it’s excellent. you still get your adventure of the week while having a few loose continuing threads (and the major thread of Pike’s inevitable end. spoiler alert?)
- Comment on best episodes for people who've never seen star trek? 3 weeks ago:
This question comes up a lot, and I always respond with Carbon Creek. Is it the best Trek? Hell no. But what it is is a story that requires no knowledge of Trek. Anything relevant to a new viewer is brought up by Tucker or Archer at the dinner table. And it does introduce a new viewer to some key lore about the history of humanity relative to this wider universe, as well as what a wide reach the Vulkan’s had in developing the alpha and beta quadrants.

The thing is, for it to be an evolutionary advantage it can’t be common. That’s one theory behind why grandmas aren’t more common in species.

ADHD brains seem to approach problems in generally more innovative/non-traditional ways than neurotypicals. It can also foster intense motivation in people. Bill Gates, for example, has been open about his struggles with ADHD. Many scholars believe that Albert Einstein struggled with AuDHD (ADHD with autism, which wasn’t in the American DSM until fairly recently).

it encompasses a few genres of live action japanese tv/movies but i was thinking like power rangers/super sentai.

I’m supposed to be cleaning but now I’m laughing too hard imagining some “saturday morning cartoon” tokusatsu show about a squad of mecha-grandmas.

I think it’s less common in northern america than in other continents.

I posted this further down but you would enjoy it if you haven’t seen it already. The end of the video supports your statement. Why Your Grandmother Is an Evolutionary Mystery
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 3 weeks ago:
Yeah. The idea is that, since our offspring take SO long to mature and take so many resources relative to other animals, that it makes more sense at some point for mothers to devote their resources to existing children rather than focus on trying to have more.
- Comment on Evolution: 🖕 3 weeks ago:
Except that it isn’t a religious thing. Human’s are something of an evolutionary anomaly in the sense that the only other animals on earth who go through menopause are a few species of whales. There’s a whole evolutionary theory tied to it called [the grandmother hypothesis] (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grandmother_hypothesis). Or you can watch this PBS video about it if you don’t feel like reading. It’s pretty interesting really.

Not natively Linux but it runs just fine under Proton (although maybe not the default version)
- Comment on A dedicated section in my Steam library 5 weeks ago:
Somewhere in Chapter 2 my Windows 11 install got corrupted to the point where a recovery upgrade wouldn’t even run so I installed CachyOS. I’ve played a good 4 hours so far and if anything it’s running better under Proton. The QTEs feel snappier.

I’m more interested in these bail peprs, I wonder what the conversion rate is?

Thanks for the response, good points all around. The fingerprinting is the most convincing argument to me but I think the accessibility issue you bring up is more important.
- Comment on nobody in webdev knows what graceful degradation is anymore 1 month ago:
I thought graceful degradation in terms of web design was mostly just to promote using the latest current browser features but to allow it to fall back to the feature set of, say, 1 or 2 previous browser versions. Not to support a user completely turning off a feature that has been around for literal decades?
