  • Is this a UK thing? Guessing from the Cornwall name

  • I've never heard of this or had any kind of plum sauce, and would never have considered having it on mac and cheese. Now I am craving this discontinued foreign condiment.

  • No, no. He or she is perfectly safe in any public space, this is certainly a one-time thing and no precautions are necessary.

  • I played hundreds of hours of WC2 and WC3 over LAN in college, awesome games. Starcraft too. I mean quotes and terms from WC RTS games haven't entered the modern lexicon the way that "zerg" has but they're part of the same cultural continuum and are important to understanding how we got here.

    Edit: also, WoW was huge but it's where Blizzard lost their way and will always be tainted in my mind. RTS is more my scene than those sleazy MMOs

  • I'm assuming to some degree diagnoses of this and similar disorders are affected by the replication crisis in psychology, and that many people just made bad choices or made the wrong enemies and got labelled with them at some point by our cursed medical system. Estimates on what percentage of the diagnosed are legitimately and undeniably ill with these disorders? Also I'd take a narcissist over a psychopath or sociopath any day.

  • I was just getting used to PS/2 connectors replacing serial mice and keyboards and then friggin USB comes along....

  • Somewhat off topic what you're discussing but I've been checking the bsky feed anonymously every day or two and a lot of those recent space pictures are AI. Didn't see those a week ago, seems to be something new.

  • Disney owns Doctor Who?

    Edit: apparently they bought international distribution rights to it in 2022

  • There's no definite "edge" of a proton or an electron, they just continue out asymptotically to infinity (I've been told)

  • I seem to remember Leisure Suit Larry verified age using trivia questions that only older people would answer correctly. I know this because at 8 years old I guessed enough of them on my father's friends computer to play it.

  • I can see why Techbros would want such gorgeous invertebrates as pets but as long as they have enough enrichment in their enclosure but I would hardly call keeping these primitive worms slavery. Any kind of exotic pet always raises questions of ethicality so I understand why you'd be concerned. Do you personally know some people in the tech industry that keep these? How big a terrarium do they need and what kinds of plants and substrate do they prefer?

  • Oooh, new hypochondria unlocked. Thanks, stranger!

  • Elon collecting signatures from demographics least likely to vote, or starlink being used in many districts as the network uplink for insecure machines

    Are sources available on these claims, particularly the first one specifically it being the least likely voter demographic? I keep seeing this stuff talked about but also hand-waving that it's been debunked and I've been too wrapped up with life to investigate. I'm not hopeful that credible and clear evidence will show up enough to get widespread attention about vote hacking but I wouldn't be opposed to hearing more come out either.

  • Fyi schizophrenia is distinct and very different from multiple personality disorder. Don't feel bad though I've heard people with psych degrees using it similarly.

  • rule

  • More Rikospähkina please

  • I like how the portrait of Karl Dandleton is a pretty girl

  • This thing has been reminding me it exists every few years for the past 2 decades.

  • That's what it is, isn't it. Retirement in their design department, new hires and this is a Millenial message marketing to Gen Zers (and Alphas too, automotive preference starts early)
