I honestly haven’t noticed any changes. 2 months after the rexodus and the honeymoon phase ended, things stabilized. Some drama with tankies but not much else. People here are just as generally rude or kind as they’ve ever been.

As someone whose local election ousted a literal fascist, never forget local elections, folks.

Fire extinguishers are worthless to most. Now hear me out. Most fire extinguishers go bad after ~a year of immobility and tend to be kept for several years after. When a fire breaks out, every second matters and fetching a worthless fire extinguisher costs time that no one has.

If you buy someone a fire extinguisher, you have to take on a degree of stewardship and explain the issue. You become fire extinguisher tech support. Set a calendar for them to periodically turn their fire extinguisher or it’s a paperweight. My father burned down the kitchen in an oil fire but luckily had a hand-me-down fire extinguisher to frustratedly shake for a minute. If you give, expect to educate.

I hadn’t even considered the degree of finesse one could develop until you mentioned a router. Feeling a text vs a call, diagnosing an issue with an electric motor by proximity, instantly noticing loose wiring, feeling when malware begins spinning up processes, etc…

Porn can be addictive and can promote toxic relationship values. If you don’t understand what you’re consuming or are predisposed to certain addictions, it can be debilitating. Sex ed and proper communication mitigate or completely prevent negative outcomes. Which is to say, talk to your partners and teachers while you can, folks.

Every admin of every instance, with a little finagling, can see them. At least that was the case a few months ago.

It’s a gargantuan group of forums that you can access through your home forum. Your home forum admins act like admins on your home forum but have no power elsewhere.

Or “It’s like Reddit, but with longer URLs and a slightly different user culture.”

Dating sims already exist. I imagine there’s massive overlap between people’s views on dating sims and virtual SOs. Generally negative sentiment.

Going a step further and physically removing or disabling the Wi-Fi radio is necessary in some. My tv refused to cease attempting to connect to every guest network nearby, even with Wi-Fi off. Thanks, but I’m fine without ads on my home screen, friend.

I dunno, Reddit was pretty overtly hostile to righties. The bot-riddled rightoid echo chambers were relatively small, but loud. Aside from “I want to murder this specific person with a thousand lifetimes of wealth” being removed as a threat of violence, and the awful admins, I can’t actually think of any rightwing trends. Sorry people were gross, though. That’s undeniably visible.

The funny thing about this situation is that it takes 20 minutes just to get past the context on why an oversimplification like “religious conflict” doesn’t work. It is, but… it’s not, and they’re not, but they are. Make sense yet? No? Good.

Detail plays a huge role in determining AI, and many of the pictures appear compressed which makes that criterion… difficult to consider. I’m not surprised that I got half right, regardless. The man on the bench really got me, why is his ankle thread-thin?

I encourage stealing from these communities: aww, askhistorians

I discourage stealing from: any of the innumerable fake story subreddits.

What’s funny about Soylent green is that there are a few genuinely standout scenes and insightful existential conversations, but the only line ever referenced is “Soylent green is people.” The ads were apparently more culturally relevant than the movie.

Oh, no, I’m a different person. But yes, although there’s a portable power supply and a long cord.

That sounds incredible! The game used to be so barebones and unoptimized that it was essentially a balancing act between efficiency in the game and efficiency in processing it.

Thank you!

At .05 fps, it’s faster to restart entirely.

Smart fridge.
