Wasn’t “woke” originally a good term until right wing screechers took it over at an insult? They do that a lot, every time some positive phrase or idea starts to gain traction. Seems intentional.

Oh. Makes sense. To be honest, I really didn’t care enough to bother checking their profile or any other comments. Just saw the response today and wanted to try and offer some sort of olive branch or something. idk

So, let me unpack what happened, from my point of view. I’m not complaining or anything, just pointing out how it seemed from my end.

I made a comment that I personally didn’t like the show because of how many times people around kept saying I was like the main character.

You replied directly to me implying that nerds should like the show because it normalizes dating them. (Which I agree is a good thing.)

I replied to say that doesn’t apply to me, and I’m not sure why it was relevant to my comment.

Finally, you left a comment to call me names.

Do you see how that entire interaction makes no sense from my side of things? I said that I didn’t like a show, and you inserted yourself into the conversation to complain that hot women should want to date me because of the show. Then, when I said that had nothing to do with what I was saying, you insulted me.

So, like, why?

…I don’t want to date women, so I know know how that’s relevant.

“It’s so funny! Sheldon reminds me of you!”

Yeah, never watched it, but heard this enough to hate the show with a passion.

Sitcom of chimps in the big city running a shady laundromat.

For those who don’t know, In the US, the two political parties basically switched sides at one point. I only skimmed, but here’s an article about it:

But I’d rather look at what modern people are doing and saying, than muse about what older generations would have wanted or done.

Cut to a younger me looking at HDDs in Walmart, and wondering why the fuck they were using much higher numbers than what the drive actually had. That’s when I learned the difference, and started grow my hate for advertising bullshit.

From Wikipedia:

Dabie bandavirus, also called SFTS virus, is a tick-borne virus in the genus Bandavirus in the family Phenuiviridae, order Bunyavirales.[2] The clinical condition it caused is known as severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTS).[2] SFTS is an emerging infectious disease that was first described in northeast and central China 2009 and now has also been discovered in Japan, South Korea, Vietnam and Taiwan in 2015. SFTS has a fatality rate of 12% and as high as over 30% in some areas. The major clinical symptoms of SFTS are fever, vomiting, diarrhea, multiple organ failure, thrombocytopenia (low platelet count), leukopenia (low white blood cell count) and elevated liver enzyme levels. Another outbreak occurred in East China in the early half of 2020.

I haven’t bought a printer in years, but had to service a crappy one for work. I’m very interested in this ink bottle refill type of printer. That honestly sounds perfect. Didn’t know it was a thing. Thank you.

I’m sorry, I was going to reply, but my printer had a forced update and then detected an unauthorized cyan cartridge from a third party, shut down, and called the police to arrest me for violating HP’s terms of servitude, er “service”.

This is barely related, but I’ve recently discovered it using Firefox and just wanted to share my misery. If you’re not using Chrome with the Google Docs extension, then Google Sheets will REFUSE to let you copy and paste with a right click context menu. But you can just press the keyboard keys to do so, or use the menu options to do so.

Like…what? It works, but they refuse to let you do it with the context menu, despite including them in the context menu.

If you try, it pops up a window and tells you that you have to install their extension or pound sand.

“The viewers are mad because of something you did or said, so we’re cancelling your show on our network.”

“Hey everyone on this forum, let’s all dox this person and send anonymous hate mail to their actual home.”

I wonder if newer AI models are going to have to learn what “AI Generated” is supposed to look like, and how ironic it would be it they had to output worse quality in order for people to accept it was AI generated. Maybe “Gen[1/2/3/4]_AI” would be better, like how we have console generations and stuff.

…squeeze your meat?

I guess that does make me happy.

Never heard of a minifier. It’s a brilliant idea though.

Largest to smallest unit of time. It just makes sense.

“I’m switching from Chrome because they killed ad blocking.”

“OMG! Firefox takes 5 seconds to even load webpages! I’ll just go back to Chrome.”

The goal is to prevent the competition from growing.
