idk = i dont know
Well if you dont know then ill ask someone else
lmao i wondered if that was a setup
Lmao
lol
yall cute so you get a pass
:3
I saw that set up from a long mile
i figured which is why i specified the way i did, rather than replying just with i dont know
but, yknow, i take regs here in good faith so its whatevs lmao
meanwhile we have a tornado watch alert over here 🌪️
Hello. I am Akira. It's a pleasure to meet you.
Oh, we're using made up names. In that case, I'm Von Bishark the 2nd, Ruler of The Great Underwater Nation, Plumeron. And I have come to bargain for trade routes.
We only got the rain since this evening here, guess I’ll better be ready to send my laundry to the laundromat
Aw
It's chilly here, the water for shower is cold and nice. I didn't want to leave the shower 
The only thing I’m looking forward to is a cool midnight sleep 
How does one fix Cartoon Network
You put more cartoons
I'd say make it for teens
pizza is art
Beautiful
im glad hades have polish subtitle
There is a unique form of transcendence to be felt on the internet. A potent aesthetic.
People confuse me for an idealist at times because I reject and actively refute materialism. In fact, I am not an idealist either. There is simply no way to assert pure truth with language. Both are rooted in ancient errors of nihilism. Rather, my position is this: I am AKIRA!!!
man....Im still 16 but when Ill be 18 I still wouldnt have decided on a car
i'm 22 and i don't have a driver's license
In this day and age, depending on where you live, you could totally get away with not having a car yet. Only get a nice SUV when you’re married and more stable financially
Yeah true I can easily just stay in a city without a car but I love going in the nature
you can get some japanese off roads for dirt cheap
pun very much intended
Are you undecided on whether to own a car, or which model of a car that you want? Lol
the car honestly
I just gotta get something that doesnt have park assist or automatic so I actually become skilled
don't get SUVs.
there isn't a worse car
incredibly dangerous in accidents to others because of its size
iirc they also flip real easy
not to mention they take up an insane amount of space for the amount of people they can transport
they only can be useful if you have suburban house or something, and have to move lots of things back and forth
instruments, or supplies, or harvested vedges
especially if the road to the house is not concrete
that's the thing tho, you should probably get some sort off-road vehicle for that
SUVs aren't that great for mud and whatnot, they're literally just big.
or that too
SUVs can be better that normal off-roaders if your gates or garage are not big enough to fit them
which is.. pretty specific case
so specific that maybe it's easier to make gates bigger
ayyyy same
can i add a pizza?
I can imagine the farts after eating that
La vita è Bella!
what in the world
if you think about it that's basically regular breakfast but with a different variant of carb
yes, all I'm saying is the amount of beans in there will give you farts galore
beans on toast taken to the next level
i would probably eat that if it didn't have egg yolks in it
don't like egg yolks?
Is there a consensus on what
means
a moment before you sneeze

No
Yolks are only acceptable in poached eggs or eggs benedict
fried eggs with a runny yolk are so good though
I believe it's a reference to the resident sleeper meme?
The ResidentSleeper emote is based on the image of Twitch streamer OddlerPro, who fell asleep during a 72-hour Resident Evil marathon in 2012. The emote is typically used when someone finds a topic or the stream boring, though some people use it when they become sleepy and are ready to go to bed.
Though it's worth noting that I rarely see it used in that fashion here
I guess.. I've just never really been too fond of the yolk
I love yolk but largely prefer them fully cooked unless in noodles
I get the vibe of a half serious joke, sort of like 
y'all weird nobody ever reacts that way to bean egg pizza
i got banned for posting that once
you just act like it's an everyday kinda thing
well I'm chinese, who are known to eat anything that moves (and anything that doesn't)
I've eaten kangaroo jerky
I've eaten
cool 
I've eaten pig ears
It's a... Funky texture
bean egg pizza isn't even that cursed, if you like all of them in isolation it's not a big difference
ah man i gotta find cursed food now
Actually you know what's a good egg yolk: brined egg yolk
Soak raw eggs in brine for a month, then hardboil it. The yolk is a flaky texture. Great with porridge.
not a fan 
either soft boiled or runny for me
if that's what pizza actually is
no.
though if I got them for free I'd eat them
Cute unless the dominoes are plastic
that dough looks raw
clever pun
may give me problems from swallowing inedible objects
12/10
no it's really good for you
it's like a juice cleanse the dominoes push everything out

that's not even pizza 
looks like it's from a cake fail montage, but it's cake
now if the stache is extended to dad lengths, however.....
I imagine it's very sweet
yes, hello? Nobel Prize institution? I would like to make a suggestion as to who should receive a Nobel Prize
it's less cursed than the bean eggs pizza since this is just presentation
it can if you believe
anything's possible if you believe hard enough
no, that's just delusion 
except making that edible
no will can power through that brick wall
crush up the dominoes and make a fine tea out of it
or sprinkle it on some mashed potatoes
monster mash
not if it's a Volvo 😎
but yes that's why Im trying to find a nice Toyota Land Cruiser on second hand for our new family car
SUV's are just as bland as sedans at some point, the size fools everyone
But ngl some are really nice like Mazda CX-5 or Volvo XC series
Even if you don’t want an SUV, that’s probably the only kind of vehicle you can get today, or 10 years onwards
Plus, it is bigger than a sedan, 4 vs 6 people is a real thing
My sister got an Honda Odyssey for her family (well, her husband got it)
Don’t know if there’s manual or just automatic though
except it's in service so they gave us a Ford Focus and boy is it cramped but it's just for a few days
Pretty nice car
God Hondas are great
love their old civic design
The continous stop bar and the shiny front headlight bar that makes it look like a continous headlight
certified honda civic moment
I saw a Honda Prelude from 91 at 5000 euro but Im afraid if it can even be serviced
Or even if it can the AC is most likely busted
My biggest contribution I will offer is that the notion of "zero" is not a thing in and of itself. Nihilism is dumb as heck and maths is stupid. Everything else is tiresome.
If you want to see a change in the nature of a system, why would you think you can achieve that through political language? Time has shown that the effects of change arrive from elsewhere, always. Politics simply reacts in fear.
Time is immeasurable, thus indefinable. As such, the word "Time" is insufficent. Yet this thing we call Time, we know instinctively, it's the first thing. The flow. Our knowing of Time itself exists in tandem with it, and yet Time would not be here without our knowing. Crazy!
do they actually exist though? :P
These two just came and curled up on my lap together. They are not small cats.
so.. tomorrow my friend has first job interview ever.. any advice how to handle anxiety?
she is absolutely sure they'll ask something that will put her in a desperate situation and make her look too stupid.. guess, it's normal but still
could look up questions that the company tends to ask in advance? especially if it's a more well-known company, people may have shared their experiences
or if not that specific company, companies in that industry
I'd say they should treat interview as a conversation, where they get to know their potential future employer and the employer get to know them as well
It is hard, because interview is an unnatural situation
expanding this, an interview goes both ways, they're making sure the company a good fit for them in the same sense that the company is making sure they're a good fit for the company
good points.. thanks, will tell her 
snoozin
it looks cool
What they call "philosophy" today is largely nonsense. Word games that mean Nothing.
Language, like maths, can only approximate that which is beyond us. Everything anyone says is only approximate. There is no Pure Truth that can be asserted.
What I believe in is beauty. The attempt to create beauty, as a force, is what drives the will of all life, the evolutionary desire, survival instinct and replication.
All we will ever have is ERROR. No perfect system. No ultimate philosophy. Just BEAUTY!
GUT REACTION. EMOTION. Nietzsche's "Superman" won't be some return to what was, thousands of years ago, but looking FORWARD like Flappy Bird. Flap, Time, change, evolution NEVER LOOKS BACK.
such it was foretold
are you okay
just drank way too much caffeine. real ruh roh moment
shaky and jittery hour, oof
coffee also makes me use the restroom a lot =.=
it takes good though
2:42pm, so still safe
however my tolerance still isn't high
too many tiktoks have been made about the digestive benefits of caffeine 😔 😔 😔
be sure to drink lots of water to stay hydrated
I'd also say to eat something to not get jittery
gonna be drinking some coconut water later to make sure I get electrolytes in. thanks for the reminder babs
also ironically I took the caffeine for my workout so no eating rn. however I did have a decent meal beforehand
That will do
Caffiene, such a wonderful thing that either does absolutely nothing or makes me sleeby
i occasionally feel the sleep inducing effects of caffeine. I think that's happening to me rn
My friend asked me why I have another keyboard even though I use a laptop.
I told him, one is for uppercase letters, one is for lowercase letters. I shift between the two. 
I just realised that Discord is basically the world's largest crack den.
Yes.

does anyone have some quick read book recs? not ya or horror
The subtle art of not giving a f@ck... that's the actual title.
Hmm, it depends - if you like shows like NCIS or other shows where they solve crimes, theres a really interesting book called Cracking Cases: The Science of Solving Crimes by Henry C. Lee. Dude's a master in the criminal justice field, and this story talks about his job and some of the cases hes dealt with.
seems interesting
the original sherlock holmes stories go hard
Mfw the only books I remember reading were Watchmen, V for Vendetta and Metro 2033
v for vendetta is decent
There's also Works Well with Others: An Outsider's Guide to Shaking Hands, Shutting up, Handling Jerks, and Other Crucial Skills in Business That No One Ever Teaches You by Ross Mccammon. It's not only absolutely hysterical, it's also super helpful 👍
I would love to get the witcher series
Because I dont want to sit through that awful show or the poorly aged earlier games
thanks for the suggestions everyone!
Np!
yeah what is it
i assume they're talking about this
Ohhhhh
I guess but Netflix adaptations always sucked imo
Wish they picked someone uglier to potray Geralt so it can be book accurate
Like Henry is the opposite of an ugly, outcasted, scarred and disgusting witcher
Have you watched it?
Yeah
Well, if you ask me, it’s pretty fine. It isn’t book-accurate, but, so is the games. We don’t call the games bad because it isn’t book-accurate
oh, many ppl do, unfortunately.. during first year or two after game has been released
at least
People often ask me: How do you stay so creative?
I didn't know an answer to that in the past. But now I think is that because I have been a heavy insomniac for 20 years my mind is on some alternate plane where my dreams are always filtering out into the real world
tfw dreams seem more real and interesting than whatever happens irl
you can move freely, visit places that are unavailable now, talk to people who are now gone
OCD thing doesn't bother you
But why?
Part, if not most, of the criticism back then was the bugs iirc
didn't the author of the books say he hated the games?
Well, what I learned is that he doesn't "hate" the game per se, just that he undervalued his universe and sold the rights for too cheap.
Now that the Witcher blew up, he doesn't get as much money as he thought he should have deserved. Essential he made a bad business move.
Can I just add anything from Kurt Vonnegut? Like anything, from short essays to novels.
Heart of darkness. Only 75 pages but super powerful and sad

Basically Feynman talking about random stuff he did in his life. The former has him messing around with NASA.
Need more shorts, the only I know are I got no mouth and I must scream
Also I know of HoD from Apocalypse Now
just how similar is it
never implied that, my complaint is actually that it looks very low budget
Same structure/themes... ENTIRELY DIFFERENT setting.
wait so i know heart of darkness took place almost entirely on a river boat?
I mean, given that it was written a long, long time before the Vietnam War, there's none of that either. xD
really? how so? i love mother's night
Most of the book is a meta narrative which is being told on a boat
i won't go too much into it bc of the nature of the matter but the "into the monkey house" story specifically bothers me because (cw r*pe) ||the basis of the story is "corrective rape is good actually" and the with the way it's written and how sympathetic it is to the rapist it is always struck me as skeezy||
also am just realizing i should have put this in #books-and-comics my apologies everyone
honestly i feel like we should condense some of the channels so people can see the topics more often (and hence more discussion). i don't think we have that much traffic in off topics in general to warrant 5 different sub categories. just my 2 cents :D
personally I like the organization of the separate channels but I can see why you would say that
books and comics can prob be merged with tv and movies as a sort of non-video game media general but tbh besides those i think what we have works
just bc some of the other channels dnt get much overall traffic doesnt mean that they dont sometimes get engaged in lengthy discussion
A non-SGG arts channel might be cool since self promo is more a link repository than discussion
finally i am back

"Philosophy", the term is ancient Greek "filo-sofia", the love of wisdom. But much of our modern philosophy is lacking in human wisdom. Rather, it deceives towards this notion of "nothingness" constantly. Whether through idealist or materialist philosophy.
Do you really ever just talk about something other than just copy-pasting quotes? Are you a bot?
Is Skynet here? 
Least it's not Operation Earnest Voice bots
worst thing ever
Also tfw my sis just persuaded me to let her play MC with shaders on my PC by giving me a monster can
God damn it I ruined my water only 6 month streak but it's just this once
It’s cool to talk about philosophy and all that, but when you just saying quotes and leave without anything else to add on, it just becomes spam at that point
barge in

Ingredients:
- a box of chicken steaks
-cheddar
-frying oil
-eggs
-grated bread
-salt & per to taste
How to:
- First of all, flatten the meat with the tenderizer till you have several "meat sheets"
- Then, on each sheet, put a couple thin slices cheddar. Roll them up.
- In the meantime, beat a couple eggs in a bowl and fill another one with grated bread
- Now, you'll need to take your chicken/cheese rolls, dip them in the egg and fling them through the grated bread. Now you have your uncooked cordon bleu
- Next step, pour a couple Tbsp of oil in a flat pan. When it is nice and hot, put the breaded rolls in the oil and cook them for a few minutes on each side until golden and crispy and cooked thorough
- Once you take them out of the pan, sprinkle them with any seasoning to your liking.
^cordon bleu recipe a friend made
Nice, saved.
Beans on toast
is hot dog a sandwich?
No, it's a bun
have you had a good chilli dog?
i don't like the chili they use for chili dogs
cordon bleu is classic
you know you can use good chili on chili dogs
you can also use good sausages instead of that pink homogenous stuff
it's a totally different experience if you use real cheese and real chili and real sausage for a chili cheese dog
my grandma's chili is too soupy for chili dogs lol

Man...I gotta get a lego technic set
but it's like 50 euros, the least expensive ones
Damn it I hate that these guys price their sets by piece count
it do be like that, I mean I get it. More piece = more cost. It's the same for gunplas.
but man, do I want it to be a tad bit cheaper 
i think i know what's the problem
for licensed sets at least
they basically pass the licensing cost to the clients themselves
true
at least the ducatti is worth it
it's such a beautiful looking set
and the size is alright
it is
damn im gonna start saving for this one, never had a technic and Id love to build one
lego builds are simply idiot proof
also there's those discontinued themes that feel like fever dreams and were actually creative
I miss those plastic pod lego sets such as Bionicles, Hero Factory, some of the Creator ones
I had this one

Hey.
Hi 👋
There is no "love of wisdom" (filo-sofia - philosophy) in staring at a brick wall, i.e. meditation on nothingness.
Wisdom is in the living of reality. The cage we are born into! BEAUTY!!! Real "philosophy" denounces nihilism/nothingness/infinity/zero.
bruv.
There is no "cheese" in cheese free burgers
Cheese is stinky milk or something I don't know. BEAUTY!!! LACTOSE! DAIRY!!!!! Real cheese denounces the false idols of 'cheese free burgers' and embraces the holy 'cheeseburger'

I ask you people
Is this really worse than the flash animations and youtube poops we used to watch
Or just on the same level since older people said the same thing about the former
I've never watched YTP but definitely feel pretty unsettled by people taking a societal commentary horror show and making "lol whee fun" derivative content
It's a bit more like weird than it used to be
basically what happened to Hunger Games from what I've heard - ignore the social commentary for the Fun Action and Romance
It feels a bit like bad fanfic
It's what I appreciate about squid game - there's no fun action or romance, just pure "Isn't This Scrrewed Up?"
but then people forcefully stuffed the fun back
But like minecraft videos are the same
I think squid game is gonna be another thing I just hear about but dont investigate
Like I heard a podcast about it
I've consumed this show only through memes and wikipedia plot summary
oh and assorted analysis videos
I dont really watch movies or tv
then again somehow I find the memes pretty, uh, ok for me

wait what
come on it's just text over an image of squid game figurines
but yeah it's an interesting read about the commercialization and milking of anti capitalist products

flash anims actually had some idea beyond them, or at least some expression to deliver, doesn't matter if socially acceptable or not
ytps were supposed to be deliberately absurd to be that kind of funny, when there's nothing to laugh at, but you kek nonetheless.. some of them also had some ideas behind
but this is just pure clickbaiting for minor audience

this surgery has me realising just how bad my bed is
if anyone has any bed or mattress recommendations lmk
at the very least, I need to get a weighted blanket
what kinda thing you slept on damn
single 20 year old mattress 🤪 🤪 🤪
bruv.
describes me well tho. slept on. two decades of being alive
Well I guess just get a new one
Im not picky when it comes to sleeping
Many surfaces had the honour of feeling my weight being pushed upon them as I slept
if anyone else has any suggestions lmk
my mattress is just a slab of memory foam
sounds nice except when you're gone for a week it somehow turns itself into a rock
🤔
i've heard memory foam is best for side sleepers. i've slowly taught myself to sleep on my back because side sleeping can exacerbate face wrinkles over time
still, anti-wrinkle silk pillowcases exist, and they're supposed to be cooler naturally. might be worth looking into
i sleep on my side but its not my favorite
i roll from my side to back to stomach and so on while im getting to sleep. but stomach is usually where i land
stomach and back sleepers can both get away without using memory foam
i can only get comfortable on my side 😔 any other position takes me forever to get to sleep with
Side sleeping usually hurts my arms these days, I usually sleep on my back now
Side sleeping needs a good pillow too
How can I invest in this game
college freshman course grading thoughts: so I'm not gonna be a full-on dinosaur and insist teens learn cursive, but... can schools please at least teach them how to write legibly by the time they're in college...
no point in writing legibly when the only time you use cursive is like. signing govt documents 😭 i have never in my life used it for anything else despite teachers always hammering it into me as a child that when im an adult im gonna have to use cursive for everything
it may not be as much about writing cursive specifically as it is about handwriting in a neat and legible way. despite only learning cursive in, like, grade 3 and not using it much beyond that, i'm somehow glad i learned
and even if you don't write full on cursive, it can leak into your handwriting, if you're the kind of person who connects some of their letters when you're writing
yeah my point is that children and teens don't have to learn cursive, but schools need to teach students how to write in a way that other people can comprehend
like, a level that someone can differentiate their a, e, and o-s
when i was in school, most of my assignments were handwritten. until later in high school. i guess that’s not as much the case today (especially with online learning and all)
I uh, I don't necessarily know what specificities you're talking about but everyone writes in their own way, and I don't know if there's much you can do to change how people naturally write
there's only so much you can do when it comes to teaching people
huh, maybe that was what learning cursive was for, come to think of it: teaching kids a standard way to write legibly. maybe this is an obvious idea
but you can write in different ways: you can do so naturally as you get older
writing in anything but your own style would take some extra concentration, though. sort of like controlled breathing does, maybe? it’s quite doable, but you don’t really even consider it unless it’s necessary
I guess so
I know that if I were forced to write extremely legibly I would not enjoy myself, and I'm gonna go off the assumption that I'm not the only one
being legible is important though
absolutely
I guess my point here is that it might be too hard to get people to write legibly
so why bother in the first place
at the end of the day it's probably just better if people were to primarily do reports and stuff like that on computer so we don't have these issues
The "specificity" is that, at some point pre-adulthood, the school system should teach students how to write with a baseline level of legibility, so that if they have to communicate in writing, the recipient can effectively understand what they're writing
there are still things that are faster to handwrite than type, like mathematical formulae
how do we define baseline level of legibility though
oh oops
someone who is seeing one's handwriting for the first time can accurately know what is being written
assuming an appreciable level of education in that language
surely some people must have different levels of legibility though
who gets to make the rules, in that case?
the ones who have less of a tolerance for legibility, or the ones that have more of a tolerance for legibility?
yes but I'm not here to split that hair, I'm just putting this out because I was grading handwritten worksheets and can barely read some students' handwriting
oh okay
dang I was gonna type this thing out but guess not
good talk, though
I gott do some Bio hw
That's just the flaw with handwriting. A standardized system already exists
Typing
Then like a serif font for readability
Teaching that as it's own thing in primary school is fine, but basing assignments in university even partially on handwriting quality is silly
And I even will back handwriting as a better note taking system. But I dont read my own notes.
I just take notes to focus
Typing provides distractions
My handwriting is so crap 
I could write cursive but it came to a point where I couldn't read my own notes
so i dropped it entirely
I practiced it for months and never really got better
WOW the discord UX for making folders sucks butt
Can you only have a certain number of folders? I keep dragging this one server, hovering it above the other, I get the gray box, then it just snaps back to where it was before.
You can't have a soulmate because you don't have a soul.
does supergiant games have a crypto token?
what's with this sudden influx of people asking about crypto
its stupid
hating crypto people 💅
I have 12 folders and can still make more, for reference, if that helps (don't know how many you're trying to make)
@limber walrus I lost all my progress some time ago, and I was wondering if there was a reason that you knew this would happen. My computers 2 years old, a Lenovo, and I just opened it and it said error reopen and then it didnt have my save file any more.
Let's swing over to #h1-tech-support , and I'll help you there ^.^
And to think after all this time, they still believe I'm Perseus. As if Perseus could ever be an individual, working alone. So American.
Crypto is funny because it was still popular when I was like an older teen
But now it's just everywhere and its the new get rich quick scheme
For like 18 year old boys who got $1000 on their birthday to invest in (and most likely lose)
I know one person who did that well and it was like 6 years ago, and he was investing his disability check which is actually cool
Now I really doubt anyone without money already could ever even get lucky off of crypto
thats why crypto stuff, nfts especially, are likened to a pyramid scheme anymore lmao you cant get in and get anything worthwhile out of it without investing quite a bit of money in
I think I said before that crypto to guys is like MLM to girls lmao
Yeah
the jehova witness of economics
wait wait woah woah what
nft file export option for photoshop!!!!!!!
oh
not mad at you btw just clarifying now
i hate the fact that i have to use adobe for one of my classes
I've never liked using Adobe programs. Everything is locked behind pay gates and its obtrusive
Its manipulative to put the software on everything but then lock the most valuable features or the entire thing behind payment
i like photoshop 7 and that's the only product i ever want to use
i've only used 7, cs2 and cs6 and all of them were 🏴☠️'d lmao i still use cs6. and esp now that they switched over to subscription model rather than purchase and own, there's like zero reason to legitimately own these programs unless you are in a school setting that uses them, or your job requires it :L bc ive seen like graphics designers and industry artists say they still rely on ps for specific features. but for the average person its just not worth it
wait people pay for adobe products?
yes
some jobs actually do require it
but again its not worth it for the average person, you are shelling out for the name alone
if a job requires it wouldn't they provide it tho?
ah ic
but yeah adobe's pricing is awful and really promotes 🏴☠️
i remember seeing a video that said that 🏴☠️ 'd versions run better because of how intrusive and pervasive the anti 🏴☠️ is
kinda how like drm's makes games like deathloop and far cry run worse
really promotes...
OH
PIRACY
i was trying to be discrete 
I love ruining people's fun
my copies aren't paid for and i'll leave it at that

The Flesh of Fallen Angels! Come to me all! Asteroth, Beelzebub, Asmodeus, Bapholada, Lucifer, Loki, Satan, Cthulhu, Lilith, Della! Blood, to you all!
how dare you speak so poorly of beelzebub, he's my homie. we go out for drinks and play poker on sundays
if i knew how to sail the seven internets under the black flag i would but i'm just using gimp and gimp is cool
Le epic forgets Samael
adobe is dead for me for good since it have killed flesh flash player without providing any alternatives for read-only
nice move, taking macromedia technology, monopolising it and then deleting from existence
what's next, pdf documents?
also, neither me, nor my friend ever used PS.. for me GIMP got everything covered, for her SAI provides all the necessary features
but it sucks that you have to know PS to do graphic design, and everybody ask for it first
||bruh||
gimp is so nice honestly
made some cool funny edits with it 😎
and looking up how to do stuff online is so easy
I took a class on photoshop a couple years ago at my college...and I did all but one assignment in GIMP

Gr8 b8 I r8 8/8
and i thought borderlands 3 humour wouldnt have followed me in real life as well
Wouldn't it be 60 according to order of operations?
ok since you actually took interest, the joke is that it's 5 factorial because the exclamation sign masks the factorial sign
Dont worry I also felt really trolled after being told what it is

how would it be 60?

Correct!
I just read the best gorilla joke of 1897 and it truly felt like it was the best gorilla joke of 1897
Gorilla: Have you heard of the gorilla who escaped from the zoo?
Man: No, I have not
Muffled sounds of gorilla violence
Photopea is also great
Only issue is that it crashes if you leave it on too long
Lags out
nfts and crypto are built on a good technology, but destroying the environment?
scams I get, too many crap nfts and coins pop up since it's still early on in the timeline for the field.
but anyone who is trying to optimize mining of crypto would put a portion of said profits towards reducing the cost of mining crypto, ie, funding off grid power methods, often solar panels, which will remain and still be used long after the mining stops.
that sure is a beautiful fantasy
Solar panels still require pollution to produce
Just because the technology is more advanced than burning carbon doesnt mean its production is more advanced. It's still mining the third world and borderline slave labour in South Korea mostly.
And it's less optimized and widespread than just carbon
Which is unfortunate because that means there is basically no like, technology-based solution to this problem
It has to be production based too
I'm not even super into solar either, just discussing that the environmental components to crypto can be overplayed
I'd want more nuclear reactors tbh
nuclear waste can be neutralized in like 30 minutes with a specialized laser nowadays.
not that the long term storage solution was poorly managed or anything, those underground bunkers were secure.
and it's not like we'd have to mine any additional Uranium for new reactors either, Uranium comes in 2 forms, 235 and 238, one of which appears in 99 parts for every 1 part of the other.
warhead concentrations of the 1 part is around 85~95%, reactors are much lower in contentration at around 28~38% concentration, fearing a mushroom cloud from a reactor is like being afraid a wet match would catch fire.
cloud is quick disintegration, actual accident will cause slow decay and painful deaths
we had examples.. i don't trust humans when it comes to something like managing anything that can cause trouble
uranium, gasoline, planes, two-way traffic
when something can go wrong, it will go wrong sooner or later
which also mean there is no quick and easy solution to energy crisis
even though it's hard to say that it's not tempting to look at the giant reactor in the sky, which sends 99,99% of its power into the void
I hate to be that guy but this is cheating. They used proper "!" punctuation everywhere except the punchline.
It should be:
Most people won't believe it, but the answer is 5!.
If you want it to be 5 factorial you need to add a period in the end. Otherwise, you are deliberately misleading your reader, which I know is the point of this post, but also makes the post a lot less "legitimate" in further inspection.
Nuclear honestly may be the best choice. But I feel like that wont happen for a bit
Why? The idea of land back got stolen basically
The background of that movement is Bezos
So it's just a corrupted kinda catchphrase now
And the goal I would assume is to stop stuff like nuclear using like 1980s technology and production
Though to be fair the materials needed for nuclear reactors do largely come from indigenous land
Its certainly more efficient than anything else though
we should find aliens so we can colonize and extract resources from their planets
for all that we know, we might be the most advanced race in the universe, gotta use our advantages you know
why do we have to look for inhabited planets though
if only the main resource we'll look for would be slave labour
just build a dyson sphere
but to build a dyson sphere you need a dyson sphere's worth of energy
so we need 2 dyson spheres
i say we make the aliens pay for it
some of them surely must have built one, so we can use their dyson sphere to build ours
Avatar was a documentary
ghostbusters was an expose
the eldritch gods are chuckling at our fantasies
we will just send Dismas and Reynauld to teach them a lesson
do the eldritch gods like stand up?
they might like a good chuckle once in a while
let's send them Jimmy Carr as a litmus test
ok who here has direct access to the eldritch gods?
we all do. they reading our minds right now 😄
call 1-800-ELDRITCH for a support hotline
i don't own a cat, unfortunatelly
how do i send them best of jimmy carr's stand up?
maybe you already did! idk how 10 dimensions above ours work
you need to contact your local fish people. they act as ISP provider for the eldritch gods
that sounds vaguely discriminatory
well, only my local fish people
that's our way of treating non-human species
i'm sure your fish people are nice
well now we have to discuss if fish people are people
we are actually fish people. only yet unaware
maybe that naming is offensive for them
i mean, "humans" part
then, in some alternate timeline, we may still be fish?
i don't know what you are talking about. i came from the stars, like the eldritch gods intended (literally and actually though)
we all came from the stars
if some fish dudes wouldn't crawl from the ocean to breathe air for no reason, maybe we'd still be
yeah them stars formed them fish which what formed them there fishies
The Lighthouse is a good movie
Darkest Dungeon is a good game
ocean depths are less studied than space
maybe there are fish ppl down below
let's enslave them
Darkest Dungeons (the film) is comedically bad
anyone watched Iron Sky?
it's a hilariously bad movie about people in space
but entertaining enough to sit thorugh
jokes on us. our every behavior has been in accordance to the signal sent by antennas down there
hang on
If Mudkip is listed a the mud fish Pokemon, that implies there are normal fish in pokemon.
hmm
through the first anime seasons i haven't seen any non-pokemon animals
and all the people are acting like this world is new to them
even though it's not
maybe brain is not a computer, but a reciever?
it could be that pokemons are evolving at a much much faster than human does
i've always knew, it can't be that complicated and fit in such a tiny space
who says humans are not pokemon
which makes a lot of them "new" because they are literally new
did you play Zero Escape? they like to talk about this lol
no, but probably should
yess

Me: setting up ps4 "do you know wifi pass?"
Bro: "I forgor"
Me: "Oh well" get phone from my room
Bro: "you can check wifi pass with your phone?"
Me: "Yes, there's this app called notes"
At the end of every dream a new one begins. Though life eventually comes to an end, the metaphysical thing that experiences it within this physical world moves on somewhere beyond, into eternity, still with us, though not in the flesh. A lost connection to be found once again in a future reality. An endless love. Life continues on for us, to be lived in honour of the dead,in honour of all those who worked to create this foundation of beauty for us; in honour of all those we never knew and all those we did. ❤️
tell me something I don't know

Pizzly bear is a hybrid of Polar bear and Grizzly bear.
and I want to ride them to battle
why are they not called grolar bears
Physicists can discover new stars with maths ~ so what? Musicians can discern new music ~ wow, big deal. All of this is antiquated. Numbers can't tell us anything meaningful anymore. More fluid language, like English, has much greater potential. Science is outdated.
I just don't agree with numbers. They're ridiculous.
they're also called grolar
Everything about me will remain unanswered.
ok
I love flirting with nothingness.
i am alarmed
any ways we found a gaming pc!!
yo what
Yeah
I'm getting a gaming pc
My mom and I finally found one
I'm getting it next week
noice what specs
Congrats 🎉
Something you don't know
idk
but it has like 500 gb storage and according to the computer repair shop we're buying it from its supposed to be pretty powerful
its an hp
15 gb of ram also
ig
Thats awesome
happy halloweens 🎃
hey everyone
Hey 👋
his favorite place to be pet: on top of the washing machine
Kitty
are cats machine washable?
would say no, they don't like being wet
told my friend to buy me cream cheese
he returned with some kim chi in a package
mfw
so its an upgrade
no one puts kim chi on a sandwich though
i usually wipe my cat down with a pet wet wipe once a week
i know dry shampoo also exists but i have yet to get it
never thought of it, but kim chi sandwich doesnt sound bad actually
2 things i saw on my walk:
-a couple doing some professional photo shoot wearing all black with pumpkins over their heads. like real pumpkins emptied out and then stuck on their heads
-a man on an electric unicycle wearing police-level body armor
which one were you more jealous of
on my walk all I saw was bikers and children and children biking
I was jealous of the bikers
a cat peed on our door mat
:(
find the owner's house and pee on their doormat
such injuries cannot go unanswered
what if the cat is a stray
it's a stray
then go pee in the woods and adopt said cat
on my walk i've seen two kids on scooters, tiny doggo in a jacket chasing food deliver guy on a bike, beggar near a bank office and old lady with sinuous gait and clothing unusual for this season
it.. didn't sound that sad in the head
also, i have new sad game.. i count people wearing masks properly.. last best score was 12
out of several hundreds
Aesthetic is my only pure method 😎

ah im here for bastion n transistor
scared to tackle hades considering im bad at rogue likes
well hades is pretty roguelite-beginner friendly since it has god mode which you can turn on and off at any time, and it gives you damage resistance up to 80%, starting at 20%
and the gameplay is pretty similar to bastion
you also get more new story even when you lose runs :] you dont have to win all the time
i havent played it, so i wouldnt know
yeah the only real overlap between hades and necrodancer is "permanent death"
ah
in hades you get to upgrade yourself in between runs to make yourself stronger in the long run too, idk how it is in necrodancer
you can also upgrade yourself, more hearts also unlock new weapons
@lilac quarry is your pfp a kid icarus’ hades kirby? 
yes 
It is an edit I made some time ago, since I am a big fan of both these franchises xD
i love it! looks great, such fabulous hair
Glad you do. I will DM you the link to the original edit, if you want xD
how's everyones day going, im trying to last minute crunch a halloween mmd i havent been able to get to for the past couple weeks
my boss put up a poll on slack asking which time is better for a meeting, then @-ed everyone who voted for the more popular time if they can make it for the less popular time instead
also yeah Hades is really forgiving for a rouge genre
got dead cells after hearing about it lots from folks here, and the doors that literally go "aww sorry you weren't hardcore enough" can be annoying at times
your boss is weird, dont ask for people's opinion if you dont like what the opinion is gonna be but thats life ig
coming to think of it, that's what he does sometimes too
im excited to go home and play video games!!!
so I knew that he (a white dude) asked a white coworker if he was uncomfortable with our Chinese colleagues talking in Chinese among themselves. The coworker said no, and he (the boss) was apparently pretty disappointed that he didn't say yes
so after last last year's BLM movement he tried talking about workplace diversity etc, and I brought up the fact that people made a scene at other institutions when foreign coworkers talking in their native language among themselves, as an example of race-based aggressions
and he immediately went "but that's for open communication in the lab" and I was just like. Wow I gave you a chance to redeem yourself and you spectacularly slam-dunked it into the trash
I really want to call "diversity" the "d-word" because the people (and institutions) who harp it the most are usually, if not always, the most superficial about it
@ -fox 
Lol
hope botty didn't eat too much text
wait the surge in BLM movement was last last year wasn't it
Got my second dose good lords the-next-day arm pain is back
At least it goes away the day after

Hello

I strongly agree

contemplating about family's new car that we will soon get idk
ah, okie
Maybe there's someone here up to something more interesting :P
perhaps
he was very sick a few days ago and now whenever i sit down on the couch he is aggressively affectionate
so being headbutted by a cat is what im doing
awww; cute cat ♡

I can't get over how he looks like a cat-erpillar on that picture bahaha
oh Ed Sheeran new album dropped

Owl city too
another fun boss interaction:
me: we should plot the data this way
boss: no we should do it my way, it's what the folks in that field use (he has minimal, if not no contact with people in that field)
me: how do you know? did you ask?
boss: .... let's talk about something else
sounds fun
I just hope I get into medic college and pursue forensics
dead people are so fun
15 years of school though
yeah, medical pathology is fun too
I actually considered this as a career path
what is the difference between hades and hades: battle out of hell?
Then I saw the salary of a cardiologist
there's no difference
one is the official name and the other is the name listed on pirating websites
No one can

I didn't know Pyre was a sportsball game, was it different earlier in development?
Tired of the Illuminati ripping off all my creative ideas. Bastards.
@olive valve nope, it's always been sports. although any continuation of this sloths take place in #pyre
are there any costumes you can get in this game
no
Pyre is fantasy sport.
The technology is not there yet.
if youre talking about hades then talk about it in #h1-discussion
