So me

  • When my grandmother tried to tell me she didn't understand computers we got her an iPad. She tried to tell us that was too hard too and I reminded her "you're not an idiot grandma, babies who can't read yet figure there things out"

    She figured it out, just needed a kick in the pants about the defeatism.

  • Hey friend you know the chemicals they make those things from are like WILDLY carconogenic right? And that PFAs and their cousins last forever and don't break down in the environment?

    These chemicals are being banned because humans got too good at making super stable fuck-you-big molecules that just so happen to be wildly incompatible with anything that has DNA. These chemicals are literally everywhere with water treatment facilities having acceptable limits 2ppb or less. Yea, B, Billon. The thing with that amount though, is even THAT isn't safe, its just regulable. Here's an oversimplified video on the subject by Veritasium, the clickbait headline is just that. I believe this is also on nebula if you'd prefer to avoid youtube.

  • The only difference in high score vs low score on an IQ test Imo is the ability to recognize that one is truly foolish and knows nothing. As I say that I realize that accepting you don't know everything is actually a great way to encourage yourself to learn more hence improving effective intelligence... Maybe its not all Bullshit?

  • Becky is Karen's friend who thinks she is cool because she's nice and doesn't yell at customer service workers but is actually a wet fart of a person and is just kinda boring. Kyle is... Well kyle is kyle. Everyone knows a kyle, maybe your kyle was called kevin (but I assure you he was still a kyle). Kyle is the guy who has it all figured out, if only "it all" was this years pyramid scam. Kyle is a nice guy! He wants to help you, really! He remembers that one time in high school when he tripped and you walked around him instead of stepping on his papers and he really appreciated that small kindness (like didn't get much love at home).

    These are different from Karen and Chad. Chad is the Quarterback Soccer Captain of the Basketball team. He's got more meat on his jaw than a butcher has on display. He got married to Karen, they dated all through high school so nobody was really surprised, but what IS surprising is that the sports scholarship that Chad got a full ride to Good University with got taken away after his 3rd on campus rape, something that surely would've flown under the radar if he just managed to throw that last game winning pass. Karen, for reasons known only to her and her gods, always forgives Chad for his misgivings and misdeeds.

  • I live in a smallish town with decent public transport in the US. Free, highly reliable busses that go to nearly every part of town and a couple of the connected suburbs as well. The locals hate it, I guess they're still mad it messed up traffic? Idk I just tell them if they hate the traffic so much use the free bus that is supposedly making their life so much harder.

    This is abnormal in the US, having decent public transport. Its basically only available in MAJOR metro areas like NYC, LA, Seattle, Chicago. Most of the country barely has functional public transport, let alone reliable.

  • I think they tried to do that with the new one. The D Rex (are we still adding rex where it doesn't belong?) was clearly modelled after the xenomorph.

    I wanna be clear they failed. I haven't been this disappointed in a movie since I saw TLJ for the first time

  • I never recommend having a sober trip sitter, just an experienced tripper on the same journey. Sober trip sitters in my experience have a tendency to harsh the vibe and make me way more likely to have a bad trip.

  • Discs**

    Disks continue to be the most efficient way to store bonkers amounts of data.

    Disks refers to magnetic storage or solid state flash storage.

    Discs refers to optical media.

    While optical is still king for physical distribution of media to the masses due to its low cost of production, the rise of streaming will certainly be the thing that rips physical ownership from the hands of the people.

    Dont stop buying DVDs or Blurays

  • I don't mean to naysay but this isn't reduced civil rights people are fleeing. The US is building concentration camps and has recently approved expanding their budget for ICE (originally immigration enforcement, now a gestapo analogue) such that it is larger than most world militaries.

    This is naziism people are fleeing. This is death camps people are fleeing.

    Hey mom, can we have macos? We have macos at home.
