Oh they’re real. They’re just arbitrary most of the time.

There’s an entire poem dedicated to a Crow saying ‘nevermore’, and there’s an old cartoon trope of crows saying foreboding things prior to tragedies.
Our love and interest in talking birds has always been also accompanied by unease, especially at what they say.

Video runs a bit long for this topic but it’s a good point about the whole subject.

Honestly, imagine doing a ‘hoorah!’ with your buds out in the middle of the woods, and you hear ‘ᴴᵒᵒʳᵃʰ’ off in the distance. Now imagine if that came from something that didn’t even sound human. You’d shut up too.

True, but if you had the ability to flash your OS, there’d also be the potential of using a third paty repair shop to get it flashed with a new OS. That would be about the same experience as getting a new phone, but cheaper.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 1 week ago:
That’s one aspect, but many phones are also just straight-up not jail-breakeable. It’s an unfortunate reality of the phone manufacturing world that they put up as many barriers as possible to try and prevent you from having free range with your phone.

I genuinely feel for y’all not able to flash your own OS.
- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 1 week ago:
True, though it’s a mix of culpability. We wouldn’t be in this situation if devs quit over poor managerial decisions. Devs keep their heads down and do the dirty work, so they’re also culpable in these trends. They don’t deserve defending, they deserve a wakeup call.
- Comment on Search GTA 6 Requirements 1 week ago:
I don’t disagree with this. Software’s performance enshittification is maybe non intentional per-se, but it’s pretty obvious that devs don’t think they need to optimize until it’s confirmed that their software is insufferably slow. And I mean their software has to be so slow that it loses them customers in droves.

Anyone who wants to know more about the exact craziness in retro game code should read “Racing the Beam: The Atari Video Computer System” by Ian Bogost and Nick Montfort.

That’s not why we were able to get Apollo 11 onto the moon using only 8 kilobytes. The real reason is because we used the most batshit sorcery mankind may ever know to eek out every last ounce of usefulness we could muster from those 8 kilobytes.

Fish-Bach and Nester would approve.

Unus Anus had an episode where they steamed themselves with their own piss in one of these, IIRC.
What a silly one-time thing.
- Comment on French culture 2 weeks ago:
Wait, woah, so the term ‘train’ is from the French work for ‘motion’, essentially? That’s kind of a dub.
- Comment on French culture 2 weeks ago:
I once heard from a friend learning French that the way to say that you are in the process of doing something literally translated to ‘I am on the train to [doing the thing]’. Is that correct?

- Comment on Do you know the answer? 2 weeks ago:
Even at random, 25% chance are the only options that are wrong, and they account for 50% of the choices and 30% of the true options. Otherwise, the question has no correct answer due to the two 25%s.
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 2 weeks ago:
If C is the correct choice, then that is only one answer out of four that is correct, meaning you only had a 25% chance to answer correctly. You’ve created a logical paradox.
25% occurs twice, so in reality there are only 3 outcomes from your pick. Since you know 25% is incorrect from this, that is 30% of the total answers, but also 50% of total options. Via this, you can conclude that both b and c are valid answers, depending on whether you view it in relation to outcomes or in relation to options. If you view the 3 outcomes, then you have a 60% chance of being right, but if you view the 4 options, you have a 50% chance of being right. Both 50% and 60% being accepted as anwswers solves the paradoxical nature of the question.

This art has no careful forms.
No clean lines.
No shading.

It is beautiful.

The witch stalks them for days, picks them off when alone, and at the climax of the film ambushes them in the abandoned house. I’d say that counts as a persistent ambush predator.
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 2 weeks ago:
I’d say that a witch creature which stalks trespassing videographers counts as an indigenous predatorial species of a local ecosystem.
- Comment on Whenever a beast is shown on screen 2 weeks ago:
Bruh, what cherry picking. Literally in the exact same movie you have velociraptors stalking prey in groups and the dilophosaurus doing their own patronizing thing. If we look to other movies, you’ve got Xenomorphs, you’ve got tremor worms, you’ve got pumpkin head, you’ve got Moder (The Ritual), you’ve got the Blair Witch, etc.
There’re plenty of good stalking monsters in film, some of which that you don’t even know are there till it’s too late.

If you put it in a spoiler you can make it so other comments can be seen easier in the post BTW.
