  • A Cool Guide to the 3 ADHD Types

    Jump

  • I do this shit all the time. When I'm watching movies, I'll notice inconsistencies or little mistakes in production, I'll hear sound bytes that have been used across media. Like, I noticed just yesterday that Memoirs of a Geisha (movie) uses the same seagull soundbyte as the start of the SpongeBob opening song. And I was just sitting on my phone, not paying attention.

    I'm definitely a mix of both, because I have some impulsive tendencies with big, exciting decisions. And stuff like this is helping to convince me that I may need to see a doctor about it for some help managing it.

  • With Borderlands 4 Waiting in the Wings, New Gearbox Owner Take-Two Plans to Pursue ‘Growth Opportunities’

    Jump

  • 2K, a subsidiary of Take-Two, published all the other borderlands. Based on that history, it'll probably be fine.

    But based on "growth opportunities," it'll probably run the game.

  • A cool guide on knowing cameras

    Jump

  • "The mirror flips up, and the shutter opens"

    THAT'S WHY IT GOES DARK IN THE VIEWER WHEN YOU TAKE THE PICTURE.

    Honestly, I have no idea how I didn't realize this, but I always thought it was the shutter closing during a photo that caused it to go dark. No idea why I thought that, because it doesn't make any sense.

  • Microsoft stoops to new low with ads in Windows 11, as PC Manager tool suggests your system needs ‘repairing’ if you don’t use Bing

    Jump

  • I'm in the US and I've not seen any of it either.

    Windows 11 kinda sucks, I don't know why it's so hard for them to design a consistent UI, but I've not seen this ad nonsense.

    I am using adguard DNS across my network, so maybe that's why?

  • Microsoft's carbon emissions up nearly 30% thanks to AI

    Jump

  • All to do what? Write emails and generate mediocre pictures?

    The usefulness of AI currently is not much better than predictive text.

  • A Cool Guide on Inequality v. Equality v. Equity v. Justice

    Jump

  • Inequality is a complicated mess of systems that have been operating in a certain way for so long, that it all feels normal. And for those in a position of privilege, it feels like it's operating in the best way it could. They literally can't see past it without a ton of effort, research, and analysis.

    What they can see is that someone gets a taller ladder and they think that's unfair without being able to see that the taller ladder still doesn't give that person equal access to resources and they started in a hole in the first place.

  • XCOM developers start new studio to take on The Sims

    Jump

  • Well let's hope it's not a Cities Skylines scenario because the second game is a complete shit show.

    And even the first one has many issues.

  • Baybe what's wrong? You've barely touched your Strawberrum

    Jump

  • I would totally leave if the "salary to cost of living" ratio wasn't so damn good.

    I'd move to Germany or the Netherlands or Sweden or Norway so fast if I could afford it.

  • Baybe what's wrong? You've barely touched your Strawberrum

    Jump

  • No VPN, it all has proper location access. I even tried it with a local restaurant that I didn't think was a chain, and it found one in Tennessee. I'm like 10 minutes away from where I told it to go.

  • Baybe what's wrong? You've barely touched your Strawberrum

    Jump

  • Just tried it with Target and again, it's sending me to Raleigh, North Carolina.

  • Baybe what's wrong? You've barely touched your Strawberrum

    Jump

  • I just tried to have Gemini navigate to the nearest Starbucks and the POS found one 8hrs and 38mins away.

    Absolute trash.

  • Parishioners Report Priest for Saying Jesus Died With Erection

    Jump

  • Jesus wasn't hanged, but he sure was hung.

  • Never Forget

    Jump

  • Well that's definitely burying the lede from the OP.

    It wasn't the sharing part they had a problem with, it was the B&E and hacking.

  • Senior dev be like...

    Jump

  • I work in the government and I honestly don't know when anyone does any real work. It's meeting after meeting overlapping other meetings. All week.

    How does stuff get done, seriously?

  • A Cool guide that tells you which colors to use for different feelings in movies

    Jump

  • Orange is exotic

  • Tornadoes Are Coming in Bunches. Scientists Are Trying to Figure Out Why. The number of tornadoes so far in the United States this year is just above average. But their distribution is changing.

    Jump

  • Got like 4 tornados within an hour of each other last night in Huntsville.

    Certainly not loving it.

  • What linguistic constructions do you hate that no one else seems to mind?

    Jump

  • So I use both, depending on context. "Setup" is a noun, "set up" is a verb. "Login" is a noun, "log in" is a verb.

    I've been sitting here trying to figure out different proper contexts for "anytime" vs "any time," but honestly, I can decide one way or the other.

  • What did you get told as a child that you realised was a lie as you got older?

    Jump

  • It's impossible to prove the non-existence of something. It's on those who believe in god to prove its existence.

    And the Bible doesn't count as sufficient evidence because that would be like believing Harry Potter exists because JK Rowling says so.

  • [serious] If Project 2025 becomes a reality. Would you fight in a civil war?

    Jump

  • In case people don't know what Project 2025 is.

    Here's the document:

    https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/24088042-project-2025s-mandate-for-leadership-the-conservative-promise

    AT LEAST READ THE FOREWARD. It very meticulously lays out their 4 goals:

    1. Restore the family as the centerpiece of American life and protect our children.

    1. Dismantle the administrative state and return self-governance to the American people.

    1. Defend our nation’s sovereignty, borders, and bounty against global threats.

    1. Secure our God-given individual rights to live freely—what our Constitution calls “the Blessings of Liberty

    In plain language they want to:

    1. Effectively make LGBTQ+ persons illegal, unable to marry, adopt, or even exist openly, nationally ban abortion, ban education about black history and systemic racism;
    2. hamstring or eliminate a bunch of government agencies like the Department of Education, the EPA, the DOJ, Department of Homeland Security, and to eliminate many positions within the federal government or install loyal puppets;
    3. close our borders completely, pull out of NATO and the UN, invest heavily in oil, coal, and natural gas while divesting in renewable energy and removing environmental regulations, and exert extreme control over tech companies and universities;
    4. create school voucher programs which very much are to allow parents to segregate their children and use tax dollars to fund conservative, religious, private schools at k-12 levels, and eliminate social welfare programs. Also includes the contradiction of "champion the dynamic genius of free enterprise" and "include antitrust enforcement against corporate monopolies."

    The whole thing is full of conservative buzz words, "anti-woke" rhetoric, and contradictions about free enterprise while wanting to exert control over people and "big tech."

    But it's also dangerous because they're going to attempt to consolidate power to the next Republican president. There are complicated and far-reaching consequences to the things they're proposing that would take an academic paper to get into. For example, Ron DeSantis just signed a bill making lab-grown meat illegal because of the "global elite." It doesn't make any sense, but it's part of the reactionary, anti-leftist, culture war bullshit the Republicans are on right now.

    That summary should be enough to show why this is so dangerous.
