To me all these people sound exactly like the douchey "I-I can't never eevher geth theh slightestht bhith dhrunk" guys.

Tldr just because you're not perceptive about your own perception doesn't mean it hasn't been altered.

Sexual awakening at 69.

I mean, it's not necessary, but neither are HD resolutions or high framerates.

It has seemed every beautiful in some things.

It's not necessary, but like, lots of things aren't. The tech in itself isn't horrible, it's just horrible usecases which make it bad. Even if most usecases are horrible. Some aren't.

Edit for instance we have much the same power computers with my brother, aside from me having an outdated GPU. Last year when we played HP Legacy for a bit, I would say that his was far prettier when utilising Ray tracing, and the whole game is a sort of feast of aesthetics, so. Although his rig wasn't potent enough to have great framerates, so playing was still better for him as well without Ray tracing. But the scenery without much action still had good framerares so we saw rhe difference. Idk perhaps it will never be good but

Which one of you mf's is ashamed to call themselves a Social Justice Warrior?

The point I'm making is that I believe that people who have mac skills will need to also learn Windows skills just because it's so much more commonplace.

Just like lefties can be more empathetic on scale, because they have to face the disappointment of things not being designed for them (us, but I'm more mixed-handed than pure lefty).

It's not about the orientation of the hand, but the phenomena surrounding having to orient your hand / use a certain hand in a certain way.

Just like I don't believe that Mac as an OS is inherently changing the kids significantly.

Please do apply adequate scientific rigor here!

And to be fair, I don't really know anyone who's only ever used a mac for those exact reasons. We had a few kids in graphic design school be like "well I mostly use Mac as my personal computer is a mac", so they weren't as used to using Windows, since they hadn't done it since school.

Like if you compared the linguistic capacity of people in the US, I'm pretty sure that no matter what you choose as the primary language, those kids will still know English (as we're talking about USA here), and if they know English, then they're at least bilingual, which has a lot of cognitive benefits. But you wouldn't be saying that specifically speaking some specific other language makes the kids smarter.

Some languages might give certain advantages, like say some aboriginal language which doesn't have left/right but always uses cardinal directions. Due to them doing that it's insanely hard to confuse their inner sense of direction, even if you chuck them if a van and drive them around blindfolded.

So I'm not saying using Macs can't have some such small specific advantage, but I doubt it, and think it's just general adaptation skills, which do correlate with positive cognitive development.

Except unless you're gonna train your own models, you really can't avoid shit being put into it.

And as a personal rule, I generally avoid any blended cocktails with noticeable amounts of excrement in them.

Yeah you're one step further from them, I guess, but also they are like the biggest royals.

Like there's still a bunch of small royals in Northern Europe. They just don't exactly have the same sort of palaces and hobbies that the British ones do.

Oh I never thought about that, that the "land of the free" has to ban tourism to Cuba. LOL.

"Well the metric version is"

Oh, so you're just reconfirming you don't speak English. Ok. Best of luck, we can try again in a few years. I can link you some Simple English channels if you'd like?

 

I've nothing to add.

 

That's it. I'm looking for a specific bit, can't seem to find it. About a standup being impressed by a crusty old junkie tasting the sub-par quality of the drugs through injecting them?

It's not like the core of the bit, it's just on the sides iirc. It's someone like Tom Segura, John Mulaney, Jim Jefferies, uh... idk. I went through Ali Siddiq, Ari Shaffir, and a bunch of others. Tried using LLM's to help me search as well. Just can't seem to narrow it down, fucking brain full of weed can't remember anything clearly. Maybe Sam Morrill?

But I'm pretty sure there's a bit where a standup talks about some veteran drug user injecting either heroin/cocaine, probably cocaine iirc, and then sort of getting a bad taste in their mouth, and the comedian expressing how impressed they were that the user could taste the adulterants through the needle.

I hear the sarcastic tone, but ugh, can't recall who.

I'm just posting this on the off-chance someone just knows the bit and can tell me.

Edit found it it was Marc Maron and “the Legend of Frankie Bastille”

Took me a fucking while

 

That's kinda it.

Four years of photos, videos, notes and thoughts, recordings of my now passed dad and grandma, etc.

Last photos of my father, actually. Fuck.

Probably accidentally dropped it in the bin when I used it as a webcam one time when I was as drunk as a skunk. Then had no use for it between that and taking the thrash out. And that was a few weeks ago, so even dumpster diving wouldn't help now.

Hell, that guy looking for his bitcoin has waster years and millions.

I guess I can manage with photos other people have, I guess. I don't really have people to look at the photos with, so guess it shouldn't matter.

I'd be grateful if you could make me care less about my massive — but boring — fuckup.

Edit I'm trying to list things I probably won't miss. My notes are mostly incoherent brain farts I have over and over. And recordings of officials won't matter as no-one cares and they're too late for justice. Photos and videos, really. But I have no-one to browse them with so whatever.

I'll definitely pay more attention to backing up

 

I had more screen space for reading with my Nokia 3310.

 

Just something MAGA-people seem to have a hard time with sometimes. Probably not as much when Americans are speaking to themselves, but as a non-American, sometimes it's challenging to get "those people" to admit that there is indeed anything wrong with the US. As in they won't accept a single criticism, and will loudly proclaim "America is the greatest country in the world", while wearing a "Make America Great Again" hat, which for me pretty explicitly means America isn't great, if it has to be made to be such again.
