  It probably isn’t legally binding, but is enough to get most folks off their back.

  Gambling forms addiction in the same way as social media. It forms skinner boxes of sorts.

  When my grandmother tried to tell me she didn’t understand computers we got her an iPad. She tried to tell us that was too hard too and I reminded her “you’re not an idiot grandma, babies who can’t read yet figure there things out”

  She figured it out, just needed a kick in the pants about the defeatism.

  This is the second time this unholy gif has come accross my feed this week and I just wanna say thanks for the opportunity to deep clean my eyeballs this evening.

  You should really watch that video. It addresses that point exactly. In short, they mostly aren’t, that isn’t the problem.

  Hey friend you know the chemicals they make those things from are like WILDLY carconogenic right? And that PFAs and their cousins last forever and don’t break down in the environment?

  These chemicals are being banned because humans got too good at making super stable fuck-you-big molecules that just so happen to be wildly incompatible with anything that has DNA. These chemicals are literally everywhere with water treatment facilities having acceptable limits 2ppb or less. Yea, B, Billon. The thing with that amount though, is even THAT isn’t safe, its just regulable. Here’s an oversimplified video on the subject by Veritasium, the clickbait headline is just that. I believe this is also on nebula if you’d prefer to avoid youtube.

  I think they tried to do that with the new one. The D Rex (are we still adding rex where it doesn’t belong?) was clearly modelled after the xenomorph.

  I wanna be clear they failed. I haven’t been this disappointed in a movie since I saw TLJ for the first time

  I never recommend having a sober trip sitter, just an experienced tripper on the same journey. Sober trip sitters in my experience have a tendency to harsh the vibe and make me way more likely to have a bad trip.

  Ok so I normally don’t post AI slop but a while back I was selfhosting an image generation model and a friends and I were fucking around trying to make super high quality furry porn (I promise this is SFW) and ended up with basically the dude in this meme on a horse treking through the desert and he was so handsome. Anyway I wanted to share the image so I’m gonna go dig it out of my harddrive.

  Sorry anyone reading this before I’ve edited the comment, I needed a placeholder or I’d forget what I was doing 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨shrooms⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not that dark. If mushrooms helped you realize you don’t wanna be married to a person you should divorce them. Why spend time with someone you don’t want to be with?

  There is this belief for some reason that divorce is like the end of the world and a giant nightmare but like, I’ve done it, its not hard stuff and as long as you and your (soon to be) ex-partner aren’t assholes then the hardest thing is gonna be making your schedules line up.

  Like Yeah it’s devastating to lose a built in best friend, but also you gotta live your truth

  Anyways don’t jump on mushroom thoughts immediately, let them settle and ferment for a bit before you follow them.

  Never talked shit about about Chris, love the guy, but its absolutely true that he partakes in the same clickbaity tendencies that lead us to this problem in the first place.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The end of Stop Killing Games [Accursed Farms]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Downvoting requires you: A. Click into the video
  B. Select the downvote button, thereby engaging with the video

  The algorithm is not designed to feed you content you like, only content that will generate clicks and interaction. The only way to eliminate that content from your feed is to forcibly remove it, as they have designed the feed such that it is impossible not to interact with it.

  Again, I suggest trying freetube as a frontend, as it allows you to retitle and rethumbnail clickbait videos, and remove shorts from your feeds, thereby eliminating the skinner box that is youtube from your life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I run a couple of services. A blog for my partner, a media server (farfetched but certainly possible in 1995), as well as a matrix server.

  I’m certain I’d be doing similar things in 1995. Based on my personality there’s no way I wouldn’t have gotten into that type of computing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, this is what people did back then⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming I’m the same age I am today, probably the same thing 😅

  Wake up, morning constitutional, coffee, bong-rip, check the server.

  Youtube shorts.

  Imagine you’re a gamer, one who is interested in game Design. Your view history has games, gaming, game design, but it’s also full of algotrash talking heads, scam baiters, shit slingers. You open the YouTube app on your phone, and it immediately opens to shorts, you don’t remember settings that as the default but it’s fine, you recognize the creator and the 45 second clip was neat. Swipe up. Next video, it Nile Blue dropping a beaker of chloroauric acid. Next video, its Chris Boden yelling about some kind of electrical infrastructure you don’t understand (any that’s pretty cool). Next video, Thor, speaking softly, explaining an aspect of game design that you never thought of. This one catches your attention, its in your wheelhouse, its something you’re genuinely interested in. You click the profile, swipe through a few more shorts. Your algorithm is permanently damaged. Your a pirate software fan now, whether you like it or not.

  Or you can use freetube and never see algotrash talking heads in your feed and never enter into this cycle.

  Have you ever done Speed Dating? Where you have 5 minute dates and if it goes well you arrange another?

  It’s kinda like that, except it’s presented in the most shallow way possible and wrapped into a skinner box. The apps are so full of bots (usually scammers/phishers) that most of the matches you recieve will be fake. That’s means there’s a little dangerous with every new person you match with while you both figure out if you’re talking to a human or not. Beyond this, the apps are somewhat anonymous in a dangerous way. You don’t know if you’re meeting the person you say you are until they show up in front of you. Sometimes you match with someone and their personality isn’t what they say it is.

  They’re fine, probably just about the worst way to meet someone as a long term partner. I’ve had good luck with hookups on dating apps, but I’ve had the WORST luck actually dating on them.

  That’s actually one specific torch!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon turns on raytracing⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m a big fan of raytraced Minecraft, but I also generally use texture packs that benefit from ray tracing. I’ve found that rather than something for realisim, finding a high resolution cartoony texture pack makes RT shine for Minecraft. Because yes, the game looks bad on purpose, lean into that and make it cartoonier too.

  It makes for great survival horror when you’re on the cutest cartooniest texture pack you can find and you’re out after dark without a torch or lantern and its just pitch black except for the light of the moon, barely illuminating silhouettes against the deep purple sky. You see the monsters approaching. You turn a corner and see it, the most adorable thing you’ve ever seen, with death in its eyes made visible only by your own reflected moonlight. It’s too dark to run. Good luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨p is for pHunky⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The p is for potential, as in potential Hydrogen. pH can be used to establish a concentration of protium (H+) in solution. When learning about pH in school, we used pOH (potential hydroxide) as well to speak about bases.
