Back during the late 90s era of internet, I got into a MASSIVE amount of troyble over a finger slip in a high school computer lab.

We were all assigned an African country to write an essay about. We had to only use internet cited sources.

I was assigned a country with the Namba people. Somehow I fat-fingered an “L” in there in the worst places. (Between the ‘b’ and the ‘a’ - don’t google it)

It triggered my school’s search filter. Altavista got involved. It was a nightmare.

The police got in contact with my parents, thinking I was being groomed and in danger of kidnapping.

It sucked.

In those situations, that is the best class sizes for electricity tomfoolery, sprinkled heavily with bravely, and a side of youth assumed immortality.

It is also a good class size to swiftly move bodies, of things get too bad.

I had a similar sized class when I apprenticed as an electrical worker via “future farmers if America” funding.

I learned so many good ways to fix things correctly, and three times that number in “bad” ways to fix things.

Guerrilla learning method with pratical daily needed subjects is SORELY missed now-a-days.

I made one of these when I was young, poor, homeless, and imminently dying due to being swiftly being frozen to death (with bone tumors coming in second place in the death race). I was able to get an abandoned metal shead with a small heater working quickly in a sudden ice storm using on hand parts and a pirated “outside” power line.

Outside of a significant situation like that… it’s not a good idea

The only thing that’s stopping me from swapping fully to Firefox is finding a good password manager that will keep the passwords up-to-date between several machines.

Double points if it will let me import the passes from chrome.

The longform video format is highly underrated.

Some days I want to watch a 20 hour retrospective on Skyrim.

Other days I want to enjoy 20 hours of an AI voice recapping a Korean manhwa about the world’s most powerful necromancer from another world that’s like a video game…

YouTube shorts also have their place for micro hits of dopamine.

So long as it makes us happy, it can’t be that bad?

‘Hypnotically Caucasian’ sounds like a phrase that a hyper nationalist Ásatrú would use unironically.

There is a reason that a lot of normal people have secret meth addictions now-a-days…

That’s really sad to hear. It was a uniquely user driven platform back in the day.

Its fall was like when pre-2023 Reddit became modern Reddit.

That’s actually a really good idea.

You can tell a lot about a person by the flavor of their earworms.

I’ve always found to have more luck on dating sites like Plenty of Fish and OKcupid than I do on the more modern dating apps.

I don’t know if any of them do this today, but I really liked the ones that had personality quizzes and matched people to you via personal compatibility.

Those personality tests netted me several relationships and 2 consecutive marriages.

To me, I see that as highly effective.

This issue was AWESOME, but the hype train for next issue goes “choo, choo!”

That title sounds like the tag line of 1/3 of Korean manhwa

At first, I thought the quality seemed “meh” because it was released so close after the masterpiece that was Baldur’s Gate 3. Everyone had high expectations and that’s a hard game to follow, I believed.

After removing myself from Baldur’s Gate 3, I discovered that I was wrong. Starfield still a “meh” game when taken on its own.

That sounds like the onset of low testosterone issue

You gotta love dark humor!

I can see a lot of people switching away from unity due to this.

It’s sad that I wasted my time learning the engine a few years ago.

Paper plates and cheap clothing. Just toss when you’re done.

I give the same side eye to a site that asks to turn off ad blocks as I do to a woman who tells me “We don’t need a condom.”

Leave some space for Jesus.

It sounds like a scab mod to me

It smells like a scab to me
