I'm getting old
  • What does this mean, you admit this particular show is not very good but might eventually be good?

    This stupid woke/dei shit is just the culture war du jour, if the product that was being released was excellent, there wouldn't be as much fuel to call a show bad for whatever reason.

    But as the previous poster noted, there have been properties that were celebrated on release because they are good. The first Mandalorian episodes meet a near orgasmic fervor.

    Acolyte at best is maybe just ok to not very compelling imo, that's up against the other now recent star wars properties like Andor, which is and was critically acclaimed. The argument just falls apart when you use an objectively not very good show like Acolyte.

  • One of my plants didn't reveg, what are we thinking for harvest window?
  • Autos are wacky as shit, even the regular seeds are getting crossbred to fuck and half the time you don't know if you're getting seeds which are unproven. So much backyard work.

    You'll pick up some age on the dry, imo you're totally in the harvest window here. No worries.

  • Uncanny Valley
  • You would think so, right? But funnily enough, whenever we find a new type of hominid that existed around us (neanderthals, denisovans, homo florensiensis), we find out that humans interbred with them and they are a part of our modern human DNA.

    I bet humans learned to "other" things that look like humans so they could do things like avoid the sick and dead, dehuminize other tribes to kill them in war. All the very human things we do now.

  • Last one, i've been farming Ai for memes but last one with lore
  • I mean, you're getting the message, clicking reply, and typing out your reply, I'm genuinely amazed at you ability to both interact with this text but but ignore it. It just seems like so much more work than blocking.

  • Last one, i've been farming Ai for memes but last one with lore
  • Wow, you are really butthurt by being wrong about the Google AI...

    Oh my God, I see, you are conflating the fact that I confirmed that people will call you a transphobe for buying the Harry Potter game by calling me a transphobe. Then I think went back and forth with a terminally online twatter (was that you?) who really wanted me to engage in a debate I wasn't having.

    I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, clearly this made much more of an impact on you than it did on me (I think this was like months ago). Yes, I don't agree with performative boycotts that have no true impact beyond preaching to the choir, that includes all the fucking incel stellar blade shit. I think I also pointed out that by engaging in these performative boycotts, you just encourage other people you don't agree with to also engage in performative boycotts.

    Again, so crazy you got so butthurt that you had to drag a discussion we must have a quarter ago that didn't impact me at all.

  • Last one, i've been farming Ai for memes but last one with lore
  • Uuuuum ok, JK Rowling is a shitty person who does her best to be on Twitter 24/7 with the other animals. Bigot, competly enamored with her own creation, and totally believing everyone who's ever said she's a genius. Ego driven nightmare.

    What does that have do to with you being objectively wrong and kind of an asshole in this thread? You know it all, terminally online jackasses never fail to out yourselves with your goal post moving.

    Oh I get it... Your ego is a problem for you personally as well, right?

  • Difficult decisions
  • Oh man yes, video game content aside, the flavor of the month posting and hot take machine from a dude who is incredibly insulated and wealthy now. It's a drag.

    The machine trys to feed it to you when you are trying to get good video game commentary now too. Practically have to block him and analogues of him.

  • A 3-year-old girl died during an ‘exorcism.’ A judge has now ruled her family can stand trial
  • No, they do, human trafficking is especially bad in wealthy middle Eastern countries where indentured servants are regularly abused, raped, killed.

    India in particular is having a huge increases in violence against women that doubled over the last decade, that not specific to rural areas at all.

    What about all that shit that was and it's happening to Iranian women and girls, getting brutally raped and killed by the police.

    Pretty common actually.

  • Being a remedial student who was blocked from better classes, but passing the GED without any studying on the first try shows something is very broken.
  • The type of people who failed you back then, they failed me too. I'm talking about now, finding someone you can try to trust and talk to. You don't really have to worry about getting electro shock therapy now a days. You might find that your early, traumatic experiences with school and the system have given you scars you aren't entirely dealing with, and are being made worse by your current experiences.

    If might even be easier to navigate how archaic and un-intuitive the system is once you've had more of a chance to deal with them.

    You definitely aren't alone having had a bad experience with school, I'm sorry you are continuing to have problems when all you seem to want to do is learn.

  • Being a remedial student who was blocked from better classes, but passing the GED without any studying on the first try shows something is very broken.
  • Have you ever sat down with a mental health professional and talked through your frustrations? Not that it's a cure-all, plenty of people have mental health services and all struggle.

    I have severe ADHD undiagnosed into my mid 30's. I completely failed out of every school I had ever been to, but was extremely good at retaining the information and testing. While having an effective GPA of close to 0, I scored in the top 5% of standardized testing, including receiving scores on an optional set of exams that my state put on (Golden State exams) which put me in the top 5% of takers in my school and would have earned me a special seal on the diploma I didn't earn.

    The world outside of school was much kinder and I am fairly successful despite having these issues which are only now getting addressed in my 40s.

    You seem to have both these issues with expectation not being met, and a lot of people are engaging with you and having a hard time identifying with your very real set of circumstances.

    That doesn't mean your issues aren't valid, they clearly are and are clearly a burden on your life, but is the problem you are having more how you relate to the world, not how the world is relating to you.

    There's absolutely nothing wrong with you, you appear to be intelligent and effective at what you do, but a lot of these systems weren't designed for people who are neurodivergent, period.

  • HLT hits at the desk

    HLT (HighLighter/HighLightTED) is a little DIY vape I helped design back in 2021. Uses a halogen bulb for heat and boro beads as a heat sink.

    The wood outer is an Amazon pepper grinder. Was a fun project and it still punches just below a ball vape.

    Egypt pyramids: Scientists may have solved mystery behind construction
  • Unlikely, yes. More likely an implementation of principles in ways we just don't have reference for in documentation, we just discovered that Roman concrete was mixed hot with quick lime. This shit always seems crazy until we figure it out.

    Although I don't see anyone saying there were as low as 1,600 workers on the great pyramid. So you right to question that one.

    Actually I bet this is where that number came from lol:

  • How many of y'all are also using concentrate or dabbing?

    I'm sure this is as much an access question as a preference question!

    I usually prefer either adding a bit of concentrate to the top of a bowl, maybe mixing it in after I heat it a bit. But I'm also a big fan of just dabbing in general, using a DTv5 or banger.

    How many of you vapists are also dabbing? I'm rethinking the word vapists after typing it...
