I’ve heard the idea that an addiction becomes an addiction once it starts negatively impacting your life.
i.e. missing scheduled events, getting angry at people when you can’t have it, lying to others about it, etc.
But I am not a licensed anything so hopefully someone else who knows what they’re actually talking about also answers

That’s not the same as the post’s photo, though. Did someone redraw it in more detail, or did someone put it through an AI image generator to look like that?

It’s “whet your appetite” in case anyone was interested. But the misspelling is probably part of the meme

I loved the episodes about coin flipping and tying shoes!

Yeah I was reading about the editing guidelines and they have a principle that surprised me at first:
Basically, you could edit an article with information you know is true (like your bedrooms or fireplaces), but truth is not the criteria that edits get tested upon. It must be verifiable by a source.
Pretty cool that you didn’t just give up and actually got the local newspaper to interview you! That’s awesome!

Came to ask the same thing.
Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands.

I’m confused — GPUs main function is to be able to do lot’s of calculations in parallel, vs a CPU which does one thing at a time (simplistically).
GPUs aren’t only used solely for video, it’s just that graphics are an excellent use case for this type of processing.
So I don’t think AI companies are buying GPUs for video output and more because they can process lots of training calculations in parallel. Like how bitcoin miners use GPUs even though there’s no video involved in that

The person with the anime profile pic has the “no under 18” emoji (🔞) so they probably either make or share NSFW content. My guess is the OP checked out their profile and found Nintendo and Omori NSFW stuff and responded with a targeted quip

Libraries are basically the only remaining third space, but they don’t fill the same need as the original commentor. Libraries don’t have places for kids to run around, be noisy, and climb things. That would be awesome though

I think they just didn’t use a comma. My guess is it means “it’s 4.9 inches long, it’s thick, and it’s circumcised”
- Comment on Anon's coworker is a femcel 11 months ago:
It’s the male version of “foid” which is short for “femoid.” I’ve never heard or seen “moid” before, like you say. I would have thought that female incels would be on the side of male incels, thinking that women were the problem, and the reason they couldn’t sleep with anyone is because the pretty women are all sluts and taking all the men or something

Ah they really had to add “found in North America” so this wouldn’t fully work for non-Americans. Love it otherwise

I barely knew anything about him tbh. I knew four things:
- He was a world-class boxer
- He owned a tiger
- He has a lisp
- He was in Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!
I only respected him because he was one of the best in the world at something. I knew nothing of his character, which I now know is bad

I didn’t raise Mike Tyson was a rapist until I read an article about this upcoming fight. Tainted my view of the man

Some of Hitler’s bodyguards said that Hitler was a fan of Chaplin. There’s speculation (but not evidence) that he borrowed it because he liked Chaplin
