  We must do the communal chant to summon him.

  Someone remind me how the chant goes again.

  Can you point on the doll to where the bad penguin man touched you?

  Fortunately I’m accepting applications for a new sleep paralysis demon.

  And a whole bunch of Windows users clearly thinking way more about Linux than they care to admit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Is there any particular piece of information that he revealed which could have been used by anyone really to… I dunno… bypass defenses or take advantage of people or whatever in some a way that could actually hurt people?

  I dunno. Everything I’ve heard is that everything that he leaked that has been released was super innocuous militarily (not that the military is a bunch of knights in shining armor or anything) or national-defense-wise. It is (or at least should be) very embarrassing to the U.S. “intelligence apparatus”. And it’s clearly good reason to believe that Uncle Sam clearly doesn’t have our (American’s) best interests at heart. But what could possibly have even hypothetically been used to cause any harm?

  (And, I don’t know, maybe you know something I’m unaware of, but it really seemed like he went out of his way to avoid any harm to anything but the reputation of the intelligence industrial complex. And maybe a few presidents.)

  made us more vulnerable to threats

  How so?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most comedians have different drinks to drink? Most have water, Ricky usually has beer, some have whiskey and such. I get the lights make them thirst. But why not all water or something?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Standup comedy is all about personality and “vibes”. What they’re drinking affects the audience’s perception of both. It helps to set expectations. Their drink is often part of the performance. (Mind you, comics don’t always have beverages. I watched a comedy routine today and I’m pretty sure he didn’t have a beverage at all. Not even water.)

  Reddit owns/uses multiple domains and the multiple domains can certainly collaborate to compromise your anonymity (or at least pseudonymity) even with third-party cookie blocking enabled. For instance they use redd.it for url shortening like this url. You could clear all your cookies for *.reddit.com and perhaps hide that you are the same user they previously banned for a while, but if redd.it has ever set any cookies that you haven’t cleared, the first time you visit a redd.it it could reveal your identity to Reddit. They probably own quite a number of other domains that might similarly reveal your identity to Reddit, and there are most likely third party companies that own other domains that will collaborate with Reddit in some way or another that will reveal your identity to Reddit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who has been boycotting Reddit since the API-enshittificationing, I can’t help but echo SpaceNoodle.

  However.

  Did you make sure your IP address has changed? Typically dynamic IPs don’t change very often unless you disconnect your router and/or modem temporarily (and sometimes even that won’t do it.) You’d need to check what your public IP is, restart or disconnect-and-reconnect your modem to get a new IP address, then check your IP address again. Unless you do all that and confirm your IP address has changed, it’s risky to try again on your laptop.

  Also, you’ll want to clear more than just your Reddit cache. To be safe, I’d recommend clearing all your data in your browser. Cache, cookies, history, local SQL, all of it. And for all domains. (I don’t know to what extent Reddit may use other domains for things like authentication and such. They might still be able to tell you’re “you” even if you clear all the cookies and such for *.reddit.com.)

  After what they did to Majora’s Mask for the 3DS, I’m perhaps a bit unfairly biased against remakes/remasters/re-releases in general. I’d pretty much always prefer to have the “authentic” original experience.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hello There 😠⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  More like “nice-in-quotation-marks”. Maybe “polite” would have been a better word. They smile bigger – exaggerated and insincere. They try to satisfy whatever you’re wanting so they can conclude the interaction as quickly as possible. They keep an air of superior self-righteousness while being nice… defensively.

  Mind you, I do even put “polite” in quotes on purpose. The more stuck-up folks can very “politely” cut you straight off at the knees in a way that preserves some semblance of plausible deniability where poorer folks (on average, very much a generalization) may be more real/authentic in general and can be more direct about calling you an asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hello There 😠⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a friend who recently moved from the poorer side of the town I live in to the richer. (I’ve always lived in the latter, richer area.) And he was talking about how striking it was to him that on the richer side, strangers would go way out of their way to avoid interacting or making eye contact or anything, but the moment you forced the issue and start actually talking to them, they’re the nicest people ever. The other side of town, interaction wasn’t avoided the same way, and they wouldn’t necessarily be quite as nice in their interactions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I love you guys.

  I mean, not OP, but the rest of you.

  A lot of your posts make me feel like I’m missing a lot of very specific context.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whatever happened to Anonymous? We need them now more than ever. Yes I get the irony. How does one happen to get in touch with one or group?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The feds blackmailed and jailed some of the most respected members of the community. That’s kinda when it fell apart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get myself to actually do thing?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
  • Step 1: Figure out why you’re not doing thing.
  • Step 2: Take steps to address the reason why you’re not doing thing.

  Seems simple, and in a way it is, but in other ways it can be very difficult.

  On step 1, I recommend first researching the term “maladaptive daydreaming”. Seems relevant to what you’re describing.

  Oh man. I’ve gotta re-watch that. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid.

  Bah! Ok, yeah. That’s super annoying. Hopefully they move uncharacteristically fast for you.

  You sure deleting your cookies wouldn’t fix it?

  Very possible it wouldn’t, but it’d be the first thing I’d try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tardigrade!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tardigrade’s underwhelming skill on the micro-cello is greatly outstripped by Tardigrade’s enthusiasm.

  He’s bowing on the wrong side of the bridge.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DNA->Rna->Protein⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Just today, I happen to have looked into what exactly keratin is. (The stuff that makes up your hair and finger nails.) It’s solid protein, made all the more solid (and all the less water-soluble) by the presence of the sulfer-containing amino acid cysteine. And fingernails have more of it than hair. Who knew?

  I love when I idly wonder something about a post, click into the comments, and the top comment is exactly, specifically the answer to my idle curiosity. Cheers.

  Sometimes the babies eat the mom too. Yes I speak from… I guess second-hand experience. First-hand would imply I was a matricidal hamster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is AI dialogue so fucking bad?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  LLMs aren’t capable of doing any better. The only reason you or anyone might think they are is because of aggressive marketinggrifting by the very few people in a position to profit by convincing the world LLMs are basically the main ship computer from Star Trek when in fact they’re more like ELIZA.
