- Comment on RuneScape player pulls off a personal Shawshank Redemption: Grinds his way out of one-zone house arrest by grinding a raid 2,000 times over 10,000 hours: 'It was all worth it' 2 days ago:
Have you heard of Cookie Clicker? It’s an idler game where you click a cookie to get points. You can spend those points on upgrades like automated clicking and more points per click. The goal is to get like a billion points or something but with the upgrades you’re eventually getting millions of points a second without even clicking. Now imagine saying “I want to hit a billion points without buying a single upgrade. I’m literally just going to click the cookie a billion times.” That’s what this guy did, but with Old School Runescape.
There’s been a trend of extreme OSRS players trying to one up each other in dedicating years of their life to doing a repetitive task for 18 hours a day, every day.

- Comment on THIS always annoys me. 5 days ago:
This is a commonly repeated myth but it isn’t true. Nobody gets a tax write off in point-of-sale fundraising. Charities ask stores to do it because it’s one of the most efficient and effective ways for a charity to raise money. Chairty events are costly, and asking people on the street gets a lot of rejection. Stores agree to do it because they get to run ads saying they helped raise millions for charity and the charity will usually shout them out as well.
- Comment on Why can countries recognise both... 1 week ago:
My understanding is that “China” is special because they’re a founding member of the UN and have special powers due to that. After the civil war, neither Taiwan or China wanted to lose that power, so neither side wanted to be recognized as anything other than “China”. I’ve heard that the younger generation in Taiwan are more open to being recognized as Taiwan but China has kind of made that impossible now by threatening any country that doesn’t respect the “one China” policy.

- Comment on Blue Prince - Have you played it? How blown is your mind? 1 week ago:
I don’t think there’s any moment that truly blows your mind. It’s a very slow burn. I found every run I learned something new that made me want to revisit old rooms and search out new ones. It definitely helps to take notes which is also fun in its own way.
Sometimes solving a puzzle just gives you some lore but that was also neat too. There’s one note I found that stuck with me regarding following traditions. It doesn’t have anything to do with the game but it was great writing!

It’s the title of the post: Enantiomer an identical chemical structure but mirrored. Think of how your hands are left and right. They’re identical in their structure, but are mirrored. Molecules can have the same thing and were denoted by L and D (but now use + and -)

Because these “teacher is dumber than a child” pictures are always fake. I’ve never seen a teacher write corrections on a student’s paper. Are they doing that for every wrong question on every paper? That would take forever!

The foundation was rebuilt in 1990 to prevent it from collapsing, but it did stand for about 600 years before that! The tower’s foundation was originally built on silt but that silt has clay underneath. It’s why modern construction does soil analysis first. Or, at least they should.
Things still collapse because soil analysis is skipped, like this bridge in Saskatchewan that collapsed in 2018 on the same day it opened to the public and before anyone actually crossed it.

Watashi will korosu anata the fuck out with vocabulary the likes of which has never been mimasu’d before on this continent, mark watashino fucking words. Anata thinks anata can get away with hanashimasing that kuso to watashi over the intaaneto? Omou again, fucker. As we hanashimasu, watashi am contacting watashino secret netto of otakus across the USA, and anatano IP is being traced right now so you better junbishimasu for the ame, ujimushi. The ame that korosu’s the pathetic chiisai thing anata calls anatano life. You’re fucking shinimashita’d, akachan.

Yup. Last year some Harvard students put together a demo where they used Meta’s smart glasses and commercial apps to scan people’s faces, find their social media profiles, and summarize info about them, like where they live, work, their phone numbers, and names of their relatives in real time.

I recently learned about passkeys which are a way to sign into an account without a username and password. Instead, your device has a key file that you unlock with some biometrics like your thumbprint and the site will log you in. I thought it was cool but then I learned Firefox is one of the only browsers that doesn’t support passkeys.

- Comment on Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor 4 weeks ago:
I’m not shaming anyone! I’m just saying the working conditions at my plant aren’t the reason my coworkers smoke and drink.
The idea in the linked comment seems to be that poor working conditions, leads to poor life decisions, leads to poor health, leads to early death. Therefore, early deaths are caused by poor working conditions.
My point is that poor life decisions aren’t necessarily caused by poor working conditions. Poor life decisions can be caused by other things, for example, lack of education.
- Comment on Dearborn, Michigan: Ford Rouge worker collapses, dies on shop floor 4 weeks ago:
I work the same exact job as my coworkers and don’t smoke and drink. If work conditions lead to smoking and drinking, then why is it only the old people outside at break time smoking?
They picked up bad habits in their youth, not because of job conditions, but a lack of education into their dangers. Where I live, 30 years ago restaurants asked customers “smoking or non-smoking?” It ain’t the work conditions that’s causing them to smoke a pack a day.

While I’m sure they’re overworked and underpaid, the guys at my factory with 30+ years are all heavy smokers and drinkers. Every year there’s at least 1 person that has a heart attack. Unions can fix work conditions but they can’t fix health conditions.
