I think this might be it, thanks so much! Solved.

I suppose this could be it, but only if there’s been a major change since I last saw it. The website was free when I used it and was a pretty simple website. I think it served a similar function, though.

I don’t think I commented on it or even voted on it, unfortunately. I’m one of those bad users who chooses not to interact that much. I’ve already looked through my vote and comment history, but I didn’t find it there. It’s quite possible it was submitted prior to 6 months ago, it might be that I just remember using it around the end of August. I don’t remember the icon, though a pinkish, magenta color seems to be coming through the memory. That might be made up, though; I really can’t remember for sure. I’m almost certain it was posted within the last year, though, and I’m leaning towards sometime during the summer or perhaps late spring. I think it might have been made by someone on Lemmy and they were sharing their own creation. I already looked through submissions around that time with “job” or “I made” and didn’t find it then, either, but maybe someone else will have better luck. I hope they didn’t delete it. That’s all I can remember, I’m afraid.

This is correct, I don’t believe it was AI powered. It was also its own dedicated website rather than being a github project.

- Comment on QWOP 3 weeks ago:
I played this so much back in middle school about 15 years ago that I actually figured out how to do it. My strat still isn’t exactly easy, but with a little practice you’ll be able to actually beat the game as I’ve done before, even getting past that nasty surprise at 50m. I just broke it out for the first time in years and it was almost like riding a bike, no joke. Within a few minutes, I was almost hitting 15m. The key is to more or less always control two keys together; you’ll probably only pull off finer single-key adjustments when you actually get a feel for the controls. Getting a feel for the timing and how much to push the buttons is also important. Some other tips are not to allow your knees to get too high, try gradually completing strides in short stuttery presses to prevent flipping backwards, and momentum is key.
To start, briefly tap W and O simultaneously. This is to get the character to put a foot out and lean over it, setting up the next stride.
Then, a slightly longer press of Q and P simultaneously. The runner will extend his other foot much like real runner.
After that, you’ll go back to W/O and begin cycling between that and Q/P. That’s pretty much all there is to it as far as the control scheme goes. That will at least have your runner looking a lot more coordinated than attempting to scoot across the ground or whatever.

Trump did make that cryptic statement “… the lights of Caracas were largely turned off due to a certain expertise that we have.” It seems some kind of cyber or other electronic warfare was definitely used.

The CIA first dropped a team into Venezuela in August, got an informant close to Maduro, and spec ops forces created a replica of the building Maduro would be in, which they drilled in repeatedly. So yes, months of preparation.

Since you asked and I haven’t seen anyone else answer, the most recent parallel to the Maduro situation is the capture of Manuel Noriega, the military leader of Panama, in 1990. All around, it was a pretty similar situation. Just like Maduro, Noriega was accused of using Panama as a drug shipping hub and of being a dictator by the US. Relations deteriorated until in late 1989, Panama declared they were “at a state of war” with the US, prompting George H W Bush to launch a ground invasion into Panama with one of the goals being the capture of Noriega, which was achieved within a few weeks in early 1990. He was then flown to the US to face a trial over his drug charges and was held in prison until 2010, though he was then extradited to France and later Panama, where he spent his final 6 years in prison.
Like Maduro, while the capture was ostensibly over drug trafficking concerns, it was largely to further US interests in Panama and Central America as a whole. Namely, it was to gain outsized control over the running of the Panama Canal for the US and grant them special perks such as reduced costs to send goods through. Additionally, it allowed as many as 14 military bases to be established in the area.

- Comment on What's the process of black market weed consumption? 8 months ago:
The first thing I’ll say is to consider putting it off until you’re older.
That being said, if you don’t know anyone who smokes, you might find it difficult to get some yourself. Your best bet would be to make friends who already have those connections. Many dealers won’t respond if you can’t name a customer that referred you. That might be the biggest hurdle to start with if you aren’t willing to start conversations. Ask classmates about the stoners around school if you can’t think of anyone.
If you manage to make those friends, though, the actual exchange with a dealer is usually pretty chill. You meet at an agreed upon spot (perhaps a park or something, maybe their house, etc.), and you hand over the money and they hand over the weed. Then you go home. You can show up with a friend if you want, but it’s best practice to let the dealer know that before you show up. A first text might go something like, “Hey, my name is ___ and I’d like to buy a dime ($10, often 1 gram)/dub ($20). I got your number from ___. Would you be down to meet sometime soon?” Some more advanced dealers will offer things like dab cartridges and edibles. Weed smells, and so does paraphernalia, so be sure to keep it in an air-tight container. Don’t front money for drugs, ever. Also, be sure not to let it become too much of a habit. Try to limit yourself to a couple times a month, or only the weekends, etc.
A marijuana high lasts about 2-3 hours, so if you know you’ll have much more time than that, you’ll be ok. You can also go out to meet up with a friend for awhile, then both go to smoke elsewhere if their house isn’t an option. Most high-schoolers find a nearby, secluded place in some forested area to smoke in, at least where I live. Walking there and back (even while baked) is usually no big deal, unless it’s super far or something. If you don’t have a place like that nearby, any other little hidden spots you can find will probably do if they aren’t too high-key. Just be sure to clean up after yourself. Pack it in, pack it out. If you’re worried about the smell after smoking, smoke outside, change your clothes/put on a top layer first, and brush your teeth.
As for how to smoke, you have some options. Probably the cheapest, easiest, most concealable option would be a small pipe (I’d recommend glass). You can find cheap ones online that can be delivered to your door on websites like dhgate, if you aren’t worried about your parents opening your mail for you. There’s also bongs, joints, and vapes, which each have their own pros and cons. I’m sure there’s a million youtube tutorials for each of those options. When smoking, I think the key is to inhale properly and deeply, which may be difficult starting out. You often hear that people can’t get high their first time smoking weed, but I think this is due to improper smoking technique. I know my first time I definitely wasn’t doing it right.
- Comment on Shrimpposters begone! 8 months ago:
War of the Worlds was written by H.G. Wells, not Orson Welles. Orson did, however, do that famous radio performance of War of the Worlds in the 30s that ostensibly (but probably not actually according to more modern analysis) caused widespread panic among its listeners.
I always get these two and George Orwell confused. The fact that Orson Welles/H.G. Wells both have that War of the Worlds connection and H.G. Wells/George Orwell both being famous authors doesn’t help, either.

I also want to add that evolution is a species-wide phenomenon over hundreds or thousands of generations, it’s not done individually.

Wow, what a thorough answer, thank you! The summation was almost poetic, in a beautiful and somewhat horrifying way. The whole system laid out like that almost seems a bit dark and dystopian in kind of an indescribable way. It sounds like a sentient, Lovecraftian rat’s-nest of wires running the whole world.

Yeah, that seems to align nicely with the instincts I outlined in my comment. No need to apologize. Thanks!
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 10 months ago:
From what I googled, it’s especially bad when you pair “man” and “female” together, which makes sense to me.
- Comment on At least Quark had some integrity. 10 months ago:
No stupid questions time: This kind of lurks in the back of my mind and I sometimes find myself hesitating to use the term “female” to refer to female figures in any context. I don’t have to do that, right? Like, would “woman lawyer” be better than “female lawyer” in contexts where specifying gender might be relevant? I would conversely prefer the term “male lawyer” in the same context. Am I overthinking this?
- Comment on Anon needs money 10 months ago:
My thoughts exactly; I realized that after posting my comment, too. All it would take is for mom to put two-and-two together with the circumstances to get suspicious. It’s possible there are other relatives with keys, though. It’s also possible there isn’t any footage available of the actual entering of the property. Still pretty screwed unless everyone else is as dumb as he is. Cops will probably have asked the aunt if anyone else has a key or otherwise had free access since there’d be no sign of forced entry. With 4chan in mind again, he probably does still live with his mom and has the stolen stuff in his closet or under his bed or something. It’s probably only a matter of time before it all blows up in his face. Something tells me OOP isn’t exactly a criminal mastermind.
- Comment on Anon needs money 10 months ago:
Gotta be drugs, right? I can’t think of many other things that might lead someone to steal from their own relatives. Not good at all, but at least he could blame addiction. With 4chan in mind, though, I shudder to think that they might have robbed their aunt just to get enough money to buy some stupid hobby/collector’s item. What’s his plan now, though? Still no cash in hand. He could try selling them anonymously on craigslist, but it’s risky keeping the stolen goods on you and he probably doesn’t know any fences. Fortunately for OOP, cops don’t give a shit about houses getting robbed and aren’t going to follow-up on it by tracking down and seeing in person all the possible listings. Their aunt will never hear back from those cops. OOP just better hope his aunt doesn’t see any of that footage herself and recognize him.

I think this is a pretty good representation of rams in pastry form. I can see the phallic resemblance, but honestly, I think this isn’t bad at all. If you wanted to be sure they wouldn’t be confused with anything other than a ram, perhaps you could get some food-grade paints and paint in eyes, nose, mouth, nostrils, etc. I think the faces being painted/frosted on would help eliminate the tendency to see a dick and make it less ambiguous.

TLDR; No. The half-life of hydrogen-sulfide reacting with the oxygen in the jar (even if the jar contains only your fart) is 12-37 hours.

- Comment on Is cops being evil/lazy/incompetent a USA specific thing, or is it the same everywhere in the world? 11 months ago:
Indeed, Chinese cops laid siege to various universities during the Hong Kong protests, which were strongholds of organization, just like American universities have also been under siege at times for their Palestinian protests. Cops never change, though I will say that American cops seem to be especially trigger-happy. It seems to me that cops in most other countries are able to neutralize threats with non-lethal force most of the time. I never seem to hear about German cops, who I believe also carry guns, shooting a neighbor’s dog or unloading into a guy failing to follow conflicting instructions being shouted at him. I can’t claim to know much about German cops, though.
