I’ve been a programmer for decades and I still sometimes look at code I wrote 6 months ago like what the fuck was I thinking. Code is as much art as science.

“I bomb atomically, Socrates’ philosophies and hypotheses can’t define how I be dropping these mockeries”

WUN PUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

This… doesn’t look real? Like, what position is that cat at the top in?

Not calling anyone out, obviously it could be legit, just looks very strange to me.

Just block the subs that do it and never waste another second of your life thinking about it.

Soulseek is the best option I’ve found for this: https://www.slsknet.org/news/node/1

It’s an old style file sharing app, like Napster and Limewire, but is focused on underground music. I’ve been using it for years and had no problems with spyware or anything like that.

Yeah that’s exactly we did, had a couple of big wipe outs on the crazy stairs we were doing 180s down and were just like, is this all there is? And even if you’re doing grinds that’s like, one trick (no matter how many different angles you can position your feet when you do it).

I save my knees for basketball these days, but I miss the skateboard.

I think the realisation that rollerblades are pretty boring once you’ve become decent on them had a lot to do with it. Unless you’re going to get into serious acrobatics, there just isn’t a wide variety of tricks you can do on blades, compared to skating.

Malmsy.

“Yikes”.

Effectively firing half the employees seems like a strong sign that the new owners are going to ruin what made Bandcamp good.

I’m so fucking tired, you guys.

How is this supposed to work? How do you describe a song in text well enough for someone else to recognise it?!

As an Australian I always take a burner phone when I travel and just reformat it after getting home.

“Good looking” can run a very wide gamut here, but let’s assume your expectation there is reasonable. These are all attributes that most people want out of a partner, so you’re in the same boat most other people are. Are you actually going on dates and attempting to meet someone that fits these criteria?

It sounds like you aren’t, and if the reason you aren’t is because you’re in love with a fictional person, then you should get some professional help. That isn’t reasonable or normal and is probably a symptom of wider issues in your life.

This is sensible as long as the qualities you’re looking for are realistic and reasonable.

It’s fine to not be interested in a relationship. But to be like that because you’re in love with a fictional character is dysfunctional and almost certainly a result of wider issues in your life. I think a doctor or therapy of some sort could be highly beneficial to you.

My understanding is that typical N95 masks may not prevent facial recognition. Different systems have different performance but many will work successfully with a masked subject. The position of the eyes are one of the key inputs to many facial recognition systems.

Carlin’s podcast (and a lot of popular history podcasts) are generally considered fairly poor by academic historians, in regard to accurately portraying modern historical research. I think those kinds of podcasts are good to engage and stimulate interest in history, as long as the listener understands that they are a kind of “pop” history and should be taken with a grain of salt.

Same goes for a lot of popular books, like Sapiens.

Digital data does not last anywhere near as long as physical artifacts like paper. Most of the data on a hard drive will be irretrievable after a hundred years.
