And I blame shit like sherlock for making idiots online think they can deduce shit based on random shit like this. Even if Sherlock is smartly written, he’s still written to be right and bases deductions on random tiny details. Not to mention, there’s tropes to writing that makes outcomes more easily predictable, and someone picking up on foreshadowing might think they can do what Sherlock can do and apply it to stupid shit on the internet, like if a story is real or if someone is telling an accurate version of the story for AITA type judgements.

If you had stuck around because the sex stuff didn’t bug you, it devolves into capitalist propaganda. The evil bad guys follow communism, except the focus is on making sure everyone suffers similarly and talent is kept down (because everyone must be equal, thus anyone with talent are trying to be better than others). Of course Richard changes the hearts of those he comes in contact with by carving a statue so amazing it changes their worldview. Oh and he protects everyone from the evil bad guy boss dream walker by having them swear allegiance and if they truly mean it in their heart, it’ll protect them.

Near the end, Richard monologues for pages and pages about the greatness of capitalism and became the second book I was reading for fun where I skipped over parts because even young me found the preaching to just be too much and his portrayal of communism so cartoonishly evil that it must be bullshit.

It’s even more pathetic than that. They aren’t just expressing their will to play the game, they are asking for approval despite it. It’s similar to the “nothing personal” disclaimer which is usually followed by something with significant personal disruption.

Most honestly expressed, they’d be, “I’m doing/about to do something that impacts you negatively, please don’t retaliate against me because I don’t like it when negative things happen to me.”

Edit: just noticed the commenter you replied to reversed the original saying and agrees with you.

They must have found one in the bargain bin.

I get what you’re saying, but this isn’t an example of that. The three sisters provided benefits to each other while growing simultaneously.

Yeah fair, kinda funny how implied tone can work when reading things. On my first read, for some reason I took the “skill issue” as more playful but on second read, who knows.

Playful banter or a deadly duel of words?

I can’t see how their reply was combative if yours wasn’t in the first place. Coming out of nowhere to protect AWS’s honour or something?

If someone claims to not have any pronouns, always refer to them by their name.

No, “Hi Jeff, how was your day? Did you pick up your package?”

It’s, “Hi Jeff, how was Jeff’s day? Did Jeff pick up Jeff’s package?”

If you don’t know their name, make up a descriptive one, be creative!

Lol

Cause: No one knows.

Treatment: Tell the patient to stop worrying about it.

I took OP’s reply as meaning they posted the meme as a joke, but assumed they got it from somewhere else.

I think it is a joke, though not one we’re supposed to be in on.

The hint is that that is a very well made map for someone who doesn’t understand how water flow really works. They turned the ocean trenches into rivers. It’s a parody of someone who doesn’t understand gravity but still uses it properly in demonstrating how it should look incorrectly.

I still can’t tell if most instances of them are a) genuine, b) trolling stupid people into believing dumb shit, c) trolling smart people into believing they believe something stupid and enjoying the frustration as they fail to convince them otherwise, or d) conning true believers like that guy who just wanted to fund his private rocket launch did.

Like it started with group B, but it’s impossible to tell group A and C/D apart, if they are really dedicated to the bit. Like those youtubers who did various expreiments that would show which way it was, got results consistent with ball earth, then dismissed those results as something being wrong with their experiment could be strong denial but also just sounds like trolling and if I had to bet, I’d probably bet on it being a troll (or someone knowing their video will get way more hits like that because it’s a hilarious result that did get a lot of round earthers to watch to mock it).

Tldr, I think we might all be getting played, though none as much as the poor fools that really do believe and donate to “flat earth science”.

I’m sure there’s plenty of other reasons to not steal a tesla. It being a mobile surveillance device being one of them. Also, if I was going to steal a car, I’d pick one with better build quality and one that doesn’t have a different fire exit than the normal way to exit that I’d probably be going for if my car was suddenly on fire.

That “or else” is pretty great, though. Using linux after windows might feel like getting into a healthy relationship after being in an abusive and controlling relationship.

I’m not very impressed that they used an optimization that blew up the game size 5x that they knew would only benefit a subset of users without even doing any profiling on it until 2 years after release. Good that they eventually revisited it, but someone fucked up making that decision in the first place.

Funny how you say that when the extra space was used specifically to improve the experience for people still using HDDs. It’s 2025, no one using an HDD should be complaining about load times.

Isn’t Python also widely supported these days?

Though I’ll always prefer compiled languages over interpreted and I think cross compiling is also in the best state it ever has been, though dependencies can complicate things still, as well as any inline assembly use.

For anyone wondering wtf Bun is, it’s a project championing JavaScript. It wants to replace node.js.

On a tangent, I recently switched from a cinnamon desktop (which uses TypeScript or some form of js) to KDE-plasma because I noticed that cinnamon occasionally couldn’t keep up with rapid mouse movements (and my machine is high end). KDE-plasma handles it fine and even has a “find my mouse” feature that turns doing the “draw fast circles to see if the mouse drifts all over the screen because the handler can’t keep up with the updates” into a game of “how big can I make the cursor”.

I wish the whole “let’s keep javascript as a thing” movement would just die out. Other languages aren’t hard to learn, why are so many people obsessed with sticking with js and shoehorning fixes for its massive flaws instead of just letting it die?

It would be cool if it rolled into a functional telescope.

Might have been very horny but also very self aware.
