general

[sinful moon]

mhmm sadly

[thorn scaffold]

well it might be true, but theres nothing we as individuals can do about it

[sinful moon]

we have four notable melt down catasophies in all of history though, with one of those being a research reactor though

[thorn scaffold]

that being said i hate paper straws

[jolly aspen]

Not all places are fit for it though, specifically around high seismological activity for example

[wooden totem]

Drink from cup

[mellow gull]

The unfortunate reality is that the majority of people - really, we all are in some respects - are susceptible to manipulation by way of controlled perception through media. There's a lot of very very purposeful work being put into keeping things the way they are.

[sinful moon]

mhmm

I could go further with that statement but I’ll keep it limited to this current topic

[thorn scaffold]

i hate paper cups as well

[wooden totem]

Bring your own bottle

[jolly aspen]

Drink from your hands

[upper minnow]

we have a lot of hydro plants in our country, enough to make us self sustainable

[thorn scaffold]

now we're talking

[sinful moon]

lol paper cups you have been using since you grew up enjoying fastfood

[upper minnow]

i feel like taking a bite out of them

[wooden totem]

Make them pour the drink straight into your mouth

[mellow gull]

Straight up mainline the cola

[thorn scaffold]

straight from the source

[wooden totem]

I hope not

[thorn scaffold]

nah the thing is, we gotta use paper straws while celebrities use private jets to cover distances which are sometimes shorter than 100 km

thats why i think its useless

[wooden totem]

Progress is progress

[dark mason]

I am going to sleep

Gn guys

[sinful moon]

Well that was a tactic deliberately used by the industry since the 60s, trying to put recycling and etc in the hands of consumers when really they are the biggest polluters

[upper minnow]

gn

[wooden totem]

I'm going with you

[sinful moon]

See ya all!

[dark mason]

Sleep good

Tmrw gonna be bad for me

[split compass]

China is working on some nuclear projects because they see that it is the best way to sustain their growing pop. Currently building a test facility for a the type of plant they expect to be using in the Gobi.

[devout palm]

Good night.

[wooden totem]

Guaranteed I won't

[dark mason]

Shut up and sleep

[wooden totem]

Insider trading

[sinful moon]

True Syntax but also doesn’t help China being the number 2 highest in pollution behind the US

[upper minnow]

they got fusion working right?

[sinful moon]

no lol

[split compass]

Wait, are they actually behind the U.S. in total polution production? Or per capita? Because that's a lot of people.

It should help long term, but doesn't fix anything immediately.

[blazing granite]

ok, so sleep well, then 😉 😂

[sinful moon]

many countries have gotten Fusion working, and just recently actual net positive energy but it’s still theoretically

[upper minnow]

but they polute a lot less if you take into account polution per person

[wooden totem]

Me when metal melts when exposed to power of the sun

[dark mason]

I SAID GO TO SLEEP

[wooden totem]

30 seconds

[sinful moon]

Tell that to Japan and Taiwan where their toxins are drifting over into

[split compass]

They have managed to create sustained reactions in two different reactor types, and now it's largely an effort of putting together the pieces of information from each of the projects specialties to try making a production scale prototype.

[upper minnow]

i mean they gotta sustain their population

[split compass]

(Sustained does not equal self-sustained)

[wooden totem]

Self sustained fusion is called a star

[sinful moon]

by killing their population and the population of other countries with smog?

[split compass]

Yes, we are trying to make 8ft diameter star on earth 😄 We're crazy, but if it works 😄

[upper minnow]

they have been lowering it a lot lately

[sinful moon]

Technically most Fusion reactors are a torus design so there’s no star as such

[fringe nacelle]

Always an interesting topic in THM. Hopefully yah are having a good day.

[upper minnow]

and are leading in renewable energy

fusion is so cool i wish radiation was real

[sinful moon]

what lol

[upper minnow]

idk why i said that

[sinful moon]

fair lol

[vale walrus]

You mean cold fusion?

[split compass]

That's actually a good point.

[sinful moon]

ouch no

cold fusion is a scam

[split compass]

Also, everyone should watch T. Folse if they're curious to learn about nuclear.

Oh and Smarter Every Day has started a dive into nuclear series.

[vale walrus]

A sci-fi fantasy, I noticed there’s a direct correlation between the release and preservation of energy when the temperature is hot and cold

[fringe nacelle]

I've learned about nuclear stuff while playing Modded Minecraft. Making reactors was fun

[sinful moon]

Yes but decades of cold fusion research has never turned up anything tangible other than hype

[split compass]

If we could do fusion, even at 100,000C I think it would be considered cold fusion by current standards XD

[formal steppe]

nuclear + hacking = stuxnet 🙂

[sinful moon]

Most cold fusion advocates are huckster, but if they actually had something solid behind their research that was reproductable, that would be another story

[upper minnow]

you know what sci fi fantasy is my dream

room temperature superconductors

imagine

the possibilities

[blazing granite]

that's one freezing room 😂 😛

[vale walrus]

Oh that, we still don’t know the perpetrator right?

[sinful moon]

It’s the US + Israel

[split compass]

We'll have to wait and see what oddities and absurdities quantum entanglement make possible.
Maybe there'll be room-temp super conductors by entangling them with some other particle, and that particle is dumping heat into space. (Not how this actually works, but I bet it's good enough to make its way into scifi)

[vale walrus]

Then you got NSO group making Pegasus

[upper minnow]

i was so hyped when they published a paper on it

[sinful moon]

Yes it’s a complicated relationship

[upper minnow]

shame it was a sham...

[formal steppe]

israel vs iran

[lone thistle]

LOVE HIM

[vale walrus]

Ah yes, the Israeli Gazelle pitted against the Persian Lion

[sinful moon]

Guess I do need to check out then

[blazing granite]

it was genius

[sinful moon]

It was not reproducable

aka it was a sham

[split compass]

Remember, it's only science when someone else can take your research, and reproduce in their own lab under similar parameters.

[blazing granite]

stuxnet??

[midnight flower]

hi I’m new

[split compass]

Room temp super conduction at scale.

[sinful moon]

No the room temp semiconductors

[vale walrus]

Yep, until then it’s classified information. We’re yet to know more about the radar absorbing material on fifth generation stealth fighter jets

[blazing granite]

yep, like cold fusion 😂

[split compass]

Hmm, absorption...

[sinful moon]

Well even then with classified information, the US Government (usually) isn’t a fool for military applications, they do their own independent studies to make sure contractactors aren’t just promising the world and not delivering

[vale walrus]

Literally, and that’s on top of the angular design that scatters the reflected waves anywhere but back to the radar receivers

[formal steppe]

the amzing about stuxnet it has 4 zero days

[sinful moon]

Government contracts are too important to just take on faith alone

[calm cradle]

hi guys

[sinful moon]

Very common for nation state lead exploits

[blazing granite]

if you like stuxnet story, the malicious life podcast, has a few great episodes about it, I don't remember the number but go browse the archives 🙂

[blazing granite]

Can I have iGuacamole with that? 😂

[vale walrus]

Very creative

[sinful moon]

Chat died

[lament tendon]

Did it?

[thorn scaffold]

https://tenor.com/view/monkey-walking-stilts-fall-gif-17534397

[lament tendon]

How the heck to I install paru with ansible. 😭

[sinful moon]

random gif does the opposite of reviving chat lol

[lament tendon]

makepkg needs a sudo password towards the end but I can't run it as root.

[sinful moon]

I’m not up on my asnable but lol, you just script it I presume

[gritty olive]

hello guys

[sinful moon]

I’m pretty sure you can do so with ArchInstall though

[lament tendon]

I mean it spawned the prompt fine, but then it still died.

[sinful moon]

yes and 0 in reply to your monkey gif

[lament tendon]

I suppose, but that will be rough to test.

Would need a whole VM setup for that. xD

[vale walrus]

Mr Clean is on his own page

[gritty olive]

how are you guys?

[sinful moon]

Doing pretty well, waiting for dinner

[silver sky]

Not that shocking for government run projects 😅

[sinful moon]

mhmm I mentioned as much above

[gritty olive]

now?

so late

[sinful moon]

I’m EST so its exactly dinner time

[gritty olive]

same as me

[sinful moon]

5:38 PM is not late for dinner unless you’re a grandparent

[gritty olive]

its 10.39 here

[sinful moon]

to be clear I mean Eastern Standard Time, UTC -5 (depending on daylight savings)

[gritty olive]

oh

[upper minnow]

should go reheat mine soon

[sinful moon]

European Eastern Time has a completely different acronym and offset

[gritty olive]

ok

[sinful moon]

dinner time tho, see ya all

[gritty olive]

okay see ya

[thorn scaffold]

i guess its time for another monkey gif

[blazing granite]

you guessed wrong 😂

It's 23:00

I'm also in bed

[karmic wraith]

good night

[karmic hemlock]

🔴

[upper minnow]

Wdym there are other timezones beside EST

[karmic hemlock]

that's a farce

only EST exists

[jolly aspen]

I thought we were all neighbors in the same building

[candid niche]

G'morning THM

[grizzled wing]

🎉 congrats on being red

[polar shale]

hi

[carmine tinsel]

UTC-8 best time zone

[jolly aspen]

Ooo Blakey got hearts

[devout palm]

UTF-8

Brain not braining.

[west hazel]

do you think the bottleneck between a 9800X3D and a 3060Ti is significant enough to warrant and gpu upgrade?

[sinful moon]

Oh my sweet summer child, if you’re actually worried about bottlenecks there’s much more to consider than those two component

[wary ocean]

the bigger question is can you afford it

[west hazel]

yes

[sinful moon]

and yeah 3060Ti is still quite a cromulent card, I have a laptop 3070 which would perform about the same and I’m doing fine

[west hazel]

I'm aware, but the other parts are good enough that they're not my concern atm

its just those two

[jolly aspen]

I guess the question is what are you running in that bottle

[sinful moon]

mhmm aka does it even matter

[west hazel]

the new indiana jones game

[sinful moon]

runs perfectly at 60fps for me on high to medium settings

[west hazel]

thanks

https://tenor.com/view/thumbs-up-thumbs-up-gif-cat-thumb-cat-kawaii-gif-26916228

[sinful moon]

np, the new Indy game is extremely well optimized due to its use of idtech

[west hazel]

also marvel rivals

[sinful moon]

is designed to run on anything

[west hazel]

too bad the optimization in that game is poop

[sinful moon]

I don’t have direct experience with it but your specs make you more than qualified

but that’s kind of the whole thing with f2p games, they do want them to run on as wide a range of computers as possible

[wary ocean]

marvel rivals is like the modern day doom classic, it can prob run on a potato

[west hazel]

I just don't want to dip bellow 144 frames in the middle of a team fight

that's a bold statement

[wary ocean]

turn on vsync, might stablize the frames

[sinful moon]

psh, just target 120Hz and call it a day

and yeah VRR helps tons

[west hazel]

monitor is 144hz

[sinful moon]

so you want to be pro-gamer at fake esports game? That’s fine but you don’t need constant 144fps

You’re already doing just fine if you’re hitting higher than 120fps constantly

[devout palm]

Damn, i forgot i used to play Brawlhalla

[west hazel]

I'm aware, but I just don't want it to tip to 90

[sinful moon]

like even that’s still better than a vast majority of players

[west hazel]

especially if its a prolonged

cause im just hitting afterimages

[sinful moon]

90Hz is honestly lovely compared to 60

do you not have VRR or something?

Just use VRR and have whatever FPS your hitting as your current refresh rate

idk what you want us to tell you, sure get a 5090 and a second mortgage on your house lol. Despite that upgrade being marginal from a 4090

But if you’re being realistically the skills rather than the hardware make the player

[west hazel]

you already answered my question a while ago

[jolly aspen]

I mean if you’ve money to burn, why not always get the latest and greatest 😃

[west hazel]

can't burn money if its all out of stock lmao

[wary ocean]

stable fps is more important than high fps imo

[sinful moon]

Mhmm nothing to loose if so, just not sure I’d be huge to recommend it

[west hazel]

I'll just burn it on new books to read instead since its going to take 5months at lesat for them to be back in stock

[sinful moon]

probably for the best until they solve the burning plugs yet again anyways lol

[west hazel]

yup

that's scary

[jolly aspen]

Burning plugs?

[west hazel]

yeah a couple of them are

[sinful moon]

yeah the new 12 pin power solution is melting under load just like they did with 4090s

[jolly aspen]

🤣

[west hazel]

Ngreedia doing it again

[sinful moon]

Personally I’m always just fine with the x070s of the range and can’t complain

[west hazel]

we should ask Jensen for his jacket so we can resell

and buy new cards

[sinful moon]

Heck even with the 970 where I got my start with building modern PCs, yes it had a critical RAM flaw, no I was never impacted, and yes I did get my $20 check from Nivida themselves lol

that was pretty funny, it was literally a Check to me from Nvidia

[west hazel]

the x070s are great imo

[jolly aspen]

Might be flame retardant, could use it to encapsulate your pc

[west hazel]

though they should be cheaper

actually all of it should be cheaper

[sinful moon]

lol instructions unclear, block all air intakes and outputs with the jacket

🔥

[jolly aspen]

Well the fire won’t spread is the important thing

[sinful moon]

Yes this is what we call a near monopoly of the GPU industry lol

[west hazel]

making consumers think 1k for a GPU is normal is wild

[jolly aspen]

It’s only going to go up

[west hazel]

need amd to duck them as hard as they're ducking intel in their cpu line up

[sinful moon]

back in the day I paid $300 for my 970 and I thought that was high lolol

oh how things have changed

[west hazel]

I remember when rent was 450

[sinful moon]

Thank you, beat me to it

Did they trademark their name?

[sinful moon]

Thank you

[sand trench]

rights reserved as it is a r in a circle

copyright is different

and that level of nerd dom is weird

[sinful moon]

No it’s normal, rights reserved is very very odd

[jolly aspen]

Not sure why they’re worried about that, can’t they just hack the stealer

[sinful moon]

TM and C both in a circle are universally recognized

[jolly aspen]

😆

I couldn’t see what was in the circle

[sand trench]

time to get glasses :P

[sinful moon]

yeah it was R in a circle which no one uses

[jolly aspen]

Nop

[sand trench]

laser eye surgery it is then

[jolly aspen]

I was busy typing of mod pings not analyzing the nuance of the username

[sinful moon]

glasses make you look awesome and smrt lol

[jolly aspen]

A sloth with glasses is a force to be reckoned with

[sinful moon]

indeed

[jolly aspen]

This is the “milk used to cost a penny” of our generation.

[sinful moon]

rip, I’ve aged out being a homeowner myself but yeah still not cheap

[sand trench]

shadow remembers when the swedish öre was still in use

[sinful moon]

We got mortage to deal with

[sand trench]

which was the lowest delimiter of cash

anyways it is sleep slooops to beep boops while meep moops time now

[sinful moon]

Goodnight!

I thought Sweeden was part of the EU though but may that’s what you mean

[west hazel]

my rent is 2.5k

[sinful moon]

freaking ouch

[jolly aspen]

Cardboard boxes are cheap

[west hazel]

its cause its on campus

[sinful moon]

um wtf

only helping to re-enforce my “college is kind of a scam” vibes lol

[jolly aspen]

Well, it’s just getting more scammy really

[sinful moon]

Every CS grad I’ve run into professionally has been absolutely useless

[jolly aspen]

It’s that or pay $10 a day for parking

[sinful moon]

and those who are in CS says half of them didn’t even know how to turn on their PCs on the first day of class

[austere verge]

That’s gonna be me in the future

[tiny viper]

would gpt be the main reason

[west hazel]

I work 2 jobs for it

[austere verge]

[sinful moon]

Meanwhile back in the day, my grandma worked a single summer job one year and that payed for her entire college degree

[jolly aspen]

I would say education value has changed though. But I did have a course where the professor just sent us to a LinkedIn learning module for the course

[sinful moon]

I have no shame in saying I’m an infosec professional with no college experience and I’m doing just fine

[rapid merlin]

Hey there!

[sand trench]

Sweden uses the Swedish krona and not the euro

[sinful moon]

huh I thought all of the scandianvian counties other than Denmark adopted the Euro but my bad

[upper minnow]

i hope i dont end up like that

[sand trench]

Norway is not even in the EU they just have good trade agreements

[upper minnow]

fortunately our college is free so at least it wasnt a waste of money

[sinful moon]

You sure won’t just by evidence of you active here

[half relic]

and i have a computer science degree and am not an infosec professional lol

i don't know if the degree really helped in any way

[sinful moon]

Yeah that’s more the issues I hear about

CS barely prepares you from anything real world compared to even independent study

[half relic]

yeah it goes pretty slow honestly

you can do better yourself

its been a while since i did either though

not counting this site

which i just started

[sinful moon]

Eh even if it’s not tech related as long as I have learned at least something new every day of my life then I am satisfied

I’m kind of addicted to it

[half relic]

i think i learn a lot every day in my job and i havn't been doing much outside of that

[sinful moon]

mhmm if you are in IT and new to it, so much to learn so no complaints there

heck I remember asking some very important questions in my first month at my job like what’s RD Gateway (RDP via HTTPS) and more. Never be afraid to ask questions about what you don’t know about and more. I went on to detail how our RD Gateway were under constant attack from brute forcing and helped move us over to all VPN solutions

[rapid merlin]

Name a linux command for an edit

[sinful moon]

don’t worry there was even worse for me to discover beyond that lol, all now fixed

[half relic]

lol good

my old company was horrible

[sinful moon]

um what? vim? I don’t understand the question

[half relic]

that's what i was thinking lol

[rapid merlin]

Name a linux command you want an informative edit about

[half relic]

ah ok

[rapid merlin]

(posting on my tiktok n yt)

[sinful moon]

That doesn’t clarify much more

if you want information about a command, it’s man, if you want to make edits to a file, just use vim

[half relic]

for some reason i always use google instead of man

[rapid merlin]

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/uJgSTkz319M - ex (imagine something like that but it's covering something someone could actually utilize 💀 )

[sinful moon]

what

I will not be watching that out of principle lol

[rapid merlin]

I'm a motion graphics editor, I'm really good at imitating online media producers. I'm making my own content w the IT/CyberSec twist on it.

[sinful moon]

Not sure that’s really how you want to sell yourself professionally

Motion graphics are great and respectable, so why are you being weird about this?

[half relic]

a lot of people love to learn from videos but i prefer text myself

[rapid merlin]

smh

[half relic]

its hard to find informaion in videos

[rapid merlin]

went over their head I guess

😭

[sinful moon]

YT is kinda garbage for tutorials, but great for retrospecivies and history

[rapid merlin]

If you watched what I sent you'd have your context

[sinful moon]

fine lol

sorry I can’t even handle 10 seconds of this holy crap this is awful

[rapid merlin]

That's based on your opinion, I'm trying to change that. I agree that YT Tuts are horrible, that's why I want to make them engaging, entertaining, and most importatnly informative.

[sinful moon]

I hope this isn’t what you mean by motion graphics

I thought you ment like professional graphic design style

[rapid merlin]

I used to work for a BPO Company producing branding content for Educational Institutions.

[sinful moon]

That’s fine but holy crap I hope it was nothing like the above

[rapid merlin]

💀

Why would you use viral editing styles for corporate promos?

[sinful moon]

why would you use viral editing styles for editing other than clickbait slop?

[rapid merlin]

It's a whole different ball game, but the software is the same

[jolly aspen]

I watched it. It gave no answers

[rapid merlin]

Because it's better than reproducing 95% of youtube.

[sinful moon]

I’ll just say my Youtube looks nothing like your youtube if this is the case and I’m very happy about that

[rapid merlin]

They asked why I was being weird, I was trying to get that clip of them saying which command to edit.

[sinful moon]

My youtube conveys information in calm and digestable ways

[jolly aspen]

What happened to learning something be cause it’s interesting. Not because someone made it into tiktok viral content

[rapid merlin]

Yeah well i'm not targeting you specifically, I'm trying to target the brain rotted people that cba to learn anything

I want to help these people learn and get a footing

[jolly aspen]

I think it’s weird to constantly puting an onus on everyone else but the learner to learn

[sinful moon]

I will gladly watcha 30 minute video on a retro computer because I may learn something due to the topic, rather than weird faces on the thumbnails and clickbait titles

Yeah I can’t help you at all

I avoid those brainrot thumbnails and clickbait titles like the plague

[jolly aspen]

I think it’s not helping, it’s enabling

If you can only learn from doom scrolling…there’s a problem

[rapid merlin]

Yeah but wouldn't you atleast want to be enabled in a way that is atleast somewhat productive

[fossil merlin]

Hey gang

[rapid merlin]

I'd rather have viewers locked in and doom scrolling informative content

[fossil merlin]

Big day for the detective

[jolly aspen]

Me? No, not at all

[sinful moon]

I think it may be better to get into touch with your target demographic a bit more

we’re people who are all here to actively learn

[jolly aspen]

I’m sorry but I get the sentiment. But in the end I believe these things are antithetical ideas

[rapid merlin]

I know my target demographic but you don't understand the demographic I'm marketing to

[sinful moon]

not get tricked into learning someething because its just in their feed

[rapid merlin]

I'm not trying to target the experienced people yet, I'm producing introductory content, so this flashy, viral editing style is supposed to kickstart the channel

[jolly aspen]

It’s wild that this is the state of things 😂

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[rapid merlin]

Lol

can you imagine being conned into learning something you didn't want to

or were too lazy to research

[sinful moon]

I can just gauntee I will never watch your channel if you use editing such as the above

[jolly aspen]

Yea, it’s literally happening all the time. The problem is how does one distinguish value.

[rapid merlin]

That's alright! There might be something you'd find interesting that wont be for a minute!

[sinful moon]

That’s fair but also extremely doubtful

[jolly aspen]

Long form learning is dead and it’s really a shame

[sinful moon]

All this being said, I’m sorry I dont want to crap on your idea so much, I do admire wanting to teach people for sure, but wow have things changed for current gens

[rapid merlin]

Agree'd I want to create long form content similar to vox but I need better audio equipment

[sinful moon]

kids barely even know how to use computers anymore or understand how filesystems work, we’ve regessed as a society somehow since the 90s and 00s lol

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, again, being kinda forced to take this path because I want to see immediate results and build off of it. It's something you wouldn't understand unless you've been doing it for a while. So I understand that you may have your own personal problems w it

[sinful moon]

If you can teach basic computer litaracy to the current gen, that will be valuable

[rapid merlin]

I'm wanting to do that In a way they'd consume it

do you have any specific topics you'd want to be see covered?

[blazing granite]

if you want to really know something, there is no other way

[rapid merlin]

Hardware, Networking, and Troubleshooting?

[sinful moon]

If you want immediate results, I’m not sure you’re in the educational game for the right reasons

[rapid merlin]

I am but you don't understand how the algorithms work

[fossil merlin]

New detective jacket dropped

[jolly aspen]

I think part of the problem is the randomness of short form. It creates destructured learning that doesn’t scaffold well

[fossil merlin]

Friend got my patches on today

[sinful moon]

Filesystems and how files on full computers don’t just “live inside a bucket” due to how kids have been taught by mobile tech

[jolly aspen]

I think we do, and that’s the point

[rapid merlin]

How long have you been working w content and marketing?

[jolly aspen]

What would be a satisfactory answer

[sinful moon]

This isn’t something you can just wave away by “how long have you been a content creator”… because some of the top content creators on YT just produce gigabytes of slop that leads to nothing but the brainrot you say you detest

[rapid merlin]

Why do uninformed people want to argue for the sake of it? Piss off dude seriously if you're just going to yap shit for no reason.

[jolly aspen]

I don’t need to qualify myself to you

[rapid merlin]

They produce so much slop, I agree! That's a BIG part of my motivation. There's so much flashy shit with NO INFORMATION in it at all.

[blazing granite]

Do you? I'm a big fan of Alan Turing and Muhammad ibn Mūsa al-Khwarizm

[sinful moon]

Yeah and having education as a goal is really notable, I’m just not sure you have to dumb it down or make it slop to appeal to the masses

sure you won’t be a viral hit, but who are we kidding, you won’t be a viral hit either way, just the facts of the internet

[rapid merlin]

Then I don't know why you had the audacity to say anything in the first place if you don't want to imply any credibility.

[lusty tusk]

@rapid merlin it sounds to me that the "slop" part is just to advertise your channel and then on your channel will be longform content?

Like giving someone a taste test of something hoping they like it and then want the full thing

[jolly aspen]

Aside from claiming our knowledge base as nothing. What is yours exactly then?

[blazing granite]

Indeed you have to raise the people, no dumb down the concepts

[rugged kayak]

how does it feel being so damn cool

[sinful moon]

Just be a humble informational channel if that’s what you wanna do tbh, just well produced and etc and people will slowly respect your goals and content

instead of leet420noscopegamer editing

[jolly aspen]

That got an inside pocket for a small spiral notepad or what?

[rapid merlin]

That's correct, but the "slop" is just to catch the attention of majority of the brain rotted population on yt, and tiktok. The idea is to captivate those audiences into joining my community and obtaining a gateway to a safe, and education focused community. It's designed to be flashy advertising in a way.. But you're correct it's to kinda give a taste.

[sinful moon]

all of my youtube subs are just well produced long form content from humble creators

[rapid merlin]

And any "Slop" i produce is going to be baked with information

[fossil merlin]

It's got 2 uwu

[rugged kayak]

insane drip ngl

i like a lot

[jolly aspen]

subliminal learning

[fossil merlin]

Of the few things I like about myself, drip is one of em

[rapid merlin]

Exactly, and once they're hooked my videos should be in their feeds when I post.

[rapid merlin]

LOL

[fossil merlin]

Only pair of jeans btw

I need to get more

[rapid merlin]

that's one way of thinking about it

I'm sure that's something I could aim to do

[jolly aspen]

If that’s the case, then I think we understand quite well the idea

[rapid merlin]

✅ subliminaly educate the viewers by making flashy edits with TOO MUCH information to read forcing them to rewatch

[sinful moon]

I’ll just say don’t educate people via YouTube Shorts/TikTok. Any subject worth learning needs more time than that

[rugged kayak]

i need to get some good jeans too

[rapid merlin]

(sounds like a horrible plan but should produce interesting results..)

[jolly aspen]

“Slop”

[rugged kayak]

i keep wearing same 3 pairs like forever

[rapid merlin]

"Tech Slop"

"Stop producing tech slop!!! 😭 "

[sinful moon]

You’re just “breaking them in” lol

[jolly aspen]

Value is not manipulated, it’s produced directly by the quality of content

[lusty tusk]

It's literally just ads for the actual YT channel.

[fossil merlin]

Levi's is the only way to go.

I think these areeeee

One sec

[sinful moon]

heck I’d even say that LTT is basically all slop and pandering these days with little value besides the odd video

It fell to all the same YT techniques you praise

[rapid merlin]

I think that statement to be rooted in opinion; I find Value to be abstract, you find value in the Orientation, Posture, Positioning, and Styling of information. Very similar to brutalism..

[fossil merlin]

Levi's 511 29/30

511 is the beast jean cut they have

[jolly aspen]

Yea well, that’s like your opinion, or whatever

[devout palm]

You can create documentaries about cyber events as well, they are fun and not necessarily technical.

[fossil merlin]

They last forever too @rugged kayak

[rapid merlin]

That is my opinion, and I'm obligated to it; just as you are <3

[lusty tusk]

Just make LEET haxor edits and people will want to learn

[rugged kayak]

dear god why are they so damn expensive

[rapid merlin]

I would love to! If you could DM me examples of some events you'd like to see covered I'd love to do it!

[fossil merlin]

Cuz they are like top tier.

This pair has lasted me 2 years

Only pair I have

Plus they look great

No wear on em either

[jolly aspen]

@devout palm no overflow

[rapid merlin]

Exactly but I want the edits to actually make sense and not just be a cringey png slideshow of skid tools

[fossil merlin]

And I do a lot of dumb shit

[devout palm]

Fern, cybernews are example of this kind of content

[rapid merlin]

I'm probably going to make edits of me pwning boxes

[sinful moon]

This answers exactly no questions whilst throwing out terms to deflect criticism. I am all for you teaching people, I just don’t think doing Gen-x/Gen-Alpha marketing and rapid cuts and all over the place editing is going to be more informative than a calm individual speaking about a topic you want to learn

[fossil merlin]

Like climbing into bandos and stuff

[rugged kayak]

i am rocking some cargo pants, literally the most comfortable pair of clothes i ever had

[rapid merlin]

Why do people want to argue to argue?

[rugged kayak]

extremely light and flexible

black and almost skin tight

i love em

[fossil merlin]

You can look good in those too

I have a friend and she rocks em

I just don't like cargo pockets

[rugged kayak]

black cargos, leather jacket and black leather converse

[fossil merlin]

They get caught on things

[jolly aspen]

If you don’t understand you don’t have to try to discredit the person. It only diminishes your argument

[rapid merlin]

That's how you get the attention of the masses, you edit for the majority of your audience not the 5%.

[sinful moon]

Because we actually would like to help you produce meaningful educational content we may want to watch, and I’m not sure “tricking” Gen-Z and Alphas into watching your videos is the best technique

[fossil merlin]

We don't talk about fashion enough in here

[rugged kayak]

i can live without pockets

i have 14 pockets on me

pants 6

jacket 8

[lusty tusk]

I think everyone is saying generally the same things, there's just a breakdown in the communication.

[fossil merlin]

Fucking geralt of rivia carrying 80 items type beat

[jolly aspen]

It sounds like you just want fame. Not to deliver quality then

[jolly aspen]

Did you see the example video

[rapid merlin]

I'm sorry but I'm not making nuerotypical content on my personal channel 😭

[rugged kayak]

main pockets are deep enough to put whole 1L bottle

[rapid merlin]

Maybe on CyberWatch for the community but my personal page? No.

[fossil merlin]

I have a hydro flask

[rapid merlin]

Personal Page and CyberWatch are 2 seperate pages for a reason

[jolly aspen]

So many notebooks

[lusty tusk]

Yes, but from what I'm understanding Lamento is using that type of content to draw viewers in to see long form content, not necessarily trying to teach everything in that format.

[fossil merlin]

It's got cool hacker stickers on it

[rapid merlin]

Lamentomori - Slop + Informative edits (pointing to CyberWatch)
CyberWatch - Professional, Informative long form content

[jolly aspen]

That’s called a bait and switch

[rugged kayak]

this is jacket i have

[sinful moon]

I don’t think that 420weedblazeit360noscope style editing is neurotypical, that’s kind of more the think normies enjoy. Nuerodivergant (and while this is a broad spectrum) usually enjoy long form videos that respect their time and intelligence rather than being payed off as a one off meme

[rugged kayak]

its not me in pic tho

[lusty tusk]

I would disagree in this day and age. I think that's genuinely just marketing.

[rugged kayak]

i wish i was 😭

[fossil merlin]

This is my case book

[rapid merlin]

I never said that was a neurotypical editing style 😭

[fossil merlin]

Dooope af

[rapid merlin]

See what I mean

I swear you js wanna argue

[rugged kayak]

its really warm too, but its bulky af

[rapid merlin]

We got another glazerrrrrrrr

[rugged kayak]

imo it has over 2kg

heavy as shit

[jolly aspen]

I think you just want someone to agree with you

[rapid merlin]

Never wanted that at all, I came here for a clip for an edit!

[rugged kayak]

limits my mobility but idc i want to stay warm and windproof while looking cool

[lusty tusk]

I think comments like this are taking away from what you're trying to achieve

[sinful moon]

I’m fine with stopping this now but you keep on bringing up contentious points like you don’t want to make neurotypical content when your one example is completely overwhelming and extreme

[fossil merlin]

I wish bombers came back into vogue TBH

[rapid merlin]

I agree, but I put up with it.. It's something that's bound to happen. People get a special kinda way when someone else is doing something.

[rugged kayak]

i wanted to put some big ass patch on the back

[fossil merlin]

@sinful moon what's going on? I've been too busy talking about contemporary hacker fashion with my pal sloboda

[rugged kayak]

but grandma told me i would ruin it

[rapid merlin]

Are you going to keep complaining about how my content is too dopaminergic for you?

Like please..

[sinful moon]

It doesn’t matter Dick Mullen, I’m trying to wrap it up

[rugged kayak]

we dont participate in this yap

[rapid merlin]

Got it. Let's leave it at that.

[jolly aspen]

Once again. Attacking the person only diminishes your argument

[rugged kayak]

fashion is more important

[fossil merlin]

So patches can stand out or blend in depending on how far youre going with em.

[lusty tusk]

I meant you saying "I swear you js wanna argue" is taking away. it's turning from a good conversation on content that everyone could have insight in, into something confrontational.

[rugged kayak]

not ruin in that way

[fossil merlin]

Got it.

[rugged kayak]

but literally ruin the leather

since i have to pierce the insides too

[jolly aspen]

If you’re going to investigate, you might as well look real friggin good while doing it

[fossil merlin]

Ohhhhh, nah it won't you just gotta get some leather wax and seal it.

I've patched lots of leather

[fossil merlin]

This the T R U T H

[rugged kayak]

what about the insides tho

its not just the leather

[fossil merlin]

Clients only trust you if you look like a cool Merc.

[fossil merlin]

What's the inside composed of?

I can flick you some instructions on how to properly care for it

[rugged kayak]

material

[fossil merlin]

Fuck they got me 🚬

Smoked

[fossil merlin]

Flatlined

[sinful moon]

I wouldn’t lie, if I saw someone with a bunch of patches and etc vs a suit, yeah I’d be impressed and feel a bit more comfortable lol

[rugged kayak]

100% polyester

[fossil merlin]

Oh that's synthetic, it won't hurt the inside or tear if you sew carefully.

It's why my regular clients trust me a bunch.

They feel like I'm not some corpo asshole who's gonna rob them.

They also think I'm cool so they pay me better and wanna be my friend. 🔥

[jolly aspen]

Purchased at ZARA, London Heathrow airport. Terminal A

[sinful moon]

just install Kali

[rugged kayak]

i wanna be a frend, fuck it

[sinful moon]

in a VM or somethng

[fossil merlin]

Plus my other jacket is a little more professional but still has that alternative appearance

[rugged kayak]

you bought me

[sinful moon]

Kali should never be used as Main OS, just as a tool

[fossil merlin]

We already are my choom

[sinful moon]

Ubuntu is far far from an ideal pentesting distro but is a fine distro, just use it and run Kali in a VM with software like virt-manager

[fossil merlin]

Yeah sewing carefully won't hurt it.

Just seal the exterior after you finish

[lusty tusk]

On my windows machine I have an ubuntu vm that has a kali vm installed on it, and inside there is a parrot vm, which I then have a windows vm installed on.

[rugged kayak]

look, i send you a jacket and monies with my carrier pigeon and you put motorhead logo across the back

[jolly aspen]

Choom bloom

[lusty tusk]

Gives me 5 layers of vm security

[sinful moon]

Yes you can do so but… why lol

You close to 0xD bro?

[jolly aspen]

Because they CAN

[fossil merlin]

How much is that jacket of yours?

[lusty tusk]

I just want to go deeper.

[upper minnow]

yea i hate this kinda editing

[sinful moon]

better to learn about more OSes than silly excersizes in OS-ception

[jolly aspen]

Couple points. My streak is going to force me out of this beautiful red

its so distracting

[rugged kayak]

Probably gonna be a while for me

[fossil merlin]

Shee, sorry pal but id rather not touch it on the off chance I fuck it up

In other news, I just got a job interview for a lvl 1 soc role, they want me to get 2 certs within the first 3 months though, so unsure what kind fo work load thats going to be ontop of learning a new role, if I do get the job

[rugged kayak]

[fossil merlin]

Why is my picture sideways?

[jolly aspen]

Yea. Been busy too. It’s all good

[rugged kayak]

she is in da industry for past 30 years or sum like that

[jolly aspen]

There are no better sewing hands in the world

[fossil merlin]

That's better

You didn’t change it or you relied on image metadata to rotate with Discord did not respect

mhmm

[upper minnow]

oh yea that sounds hard

[fossil merlin]

Yeah I figured that was the issue.

Discord on mobile is a little jank

Damn I'm cute AF

[jolly aspen]

You got this 💪

[sinful moon]

Most CompTIA stuff is pretty darn easy, you for sure got this

[upper minnow]

get the certificates for free and then quit lol

[fossil merlin]

Yeah, I wouldn't mind trying my hands at it but I get nervous sewing anything more than $100.

My jacket is from the 90s the "junk on" lee brand and they don't make it anymore.

I got it in perfect condition by doing security for an aid group for free.

This jacket is like $300 on eBay so I got an expert to do it.

[jolly aspen]

Immediately start applying for another position 😂

[fossil merlin]

I've done some modeling and cosplay before 😌

[jolly aspen]

SOC lvl 2 baby

[fossil merlin]

Niiiice

[sinful moon]

Honestly though an org that wants you to get certs and pays for it is a great sign

[rugged kayak]

ngl if i ever get some crazy money i will spend it all on parfeumes, jewlery and cool shit

[sinful moon]

they care about your continuing education and will likely help fund more certs

[sinful moon]

G’morning

[jolly aspen]

Hi, we are talking about exorbitant purchases we have or would like to make asap

[rugged kayak]

cya later

[sinful moon]

Unifi router is my in to take over the network admin role from my SO who’s done an awful job and thank god lol

[neon prism]

Oh, mine is a carton of eggs

[jolly aspen]

How big is the carton

[sinful moon]

I was network admin eveywhere i lived until I moved in with my SO who has some IT experience but oof

self admitted that they’re “not a networking person” lol

[jolly aspen]

Are they golden goose eggs?

[neon prism]

Any there all high rn lol

[sinful moon]

yeah it’s okay hun, just let me do the networking pretty please

[neon prism]

Its like $8 for a dozen now

[jolly aspen]

Ok. Putting you down for a 18 wheeler size carton of eggs then

[sinful moon]

but yeah we already have 3 unifi APs so this Unifi Gateway Max more than makes sense and will be great

[fossil merlin]

Yeah I thought they were supposed to be cheaper 😏

Ok later fr

[neon prism]

Oh, Imma have eggs for days

[sinful moon]

and I’ll move the Unifi Controller from one of his random WIndows desktops to a dedicated VM on our server

[jolly aspen]

Yea, atleast a few days. No worries there

[neon prism]

https://tenor.com/view/seriously-side-eye-confused-gif-8776030

[sinful moon]

anyways that’s it for me ranting into the void since no one cares <3

[half relic]

i just can't buy any of that stuff lol

[lusty tusk]

What is a unifi router?

[upper minnow]

gn elizabeth

[sinful moon]

lol I’m not heading out, I was just done ranting chag

[upper minnow]

oh ok

[lusty tusk]

I could definitely google it if you don't want to explain

[jolly aspen]

This is enough coverage for a midsized warehouse

[upper minnow]

anyways im going to sleep

[sinful moon]

https://store.ui.com/us/en/products/uxg-max

we already have three seperate APs so literally all we need is a router

[split compass]

Well, that slapped harder than it had any right to.
Wannabe (Spice Girls) in the style of System of A Down - performed by Anthony Vincent and Mac Glocky.

[jolly aspen]

Supplying WiFi for the neighborhood

[sinful moon]

and my SO’s topology of unifi wifi and everything else netgear or tplink was just gross lol

[split compass]

The new Pro-grade stuff by Ubiquiti is tempting me 😄

But the price has held me at bay so far.

[sinful moon]

mhmm, I’m excited for the Gateway Max, this is at least price compeditive with other options but fair I already have a leg up with the three unifi APs

but yeah those Unifi APs are pricey lol

but lol that was bought before my time, so meh

[split compass]

They dropped a 24 port PoE+++ switch, and a WiFi 7 router

[sinful moon]

lol indeed

[split compass]

And the 100Gbps switch a couple months ago.

[sinful moon]

I do like that they have a complete networking stack and nice UI for all this but we shall see how it goes

[split compass]

Stuff that's competitive with the Arista switch that I failed to win on auction 😄

[grizzled void]

Unifi is Ubiquiti. So it's just a certain brand's router

[forest fractal]

Hello Im back hahaha

[sinful moon]

mhmm

[lusty tusk]

It looks pretty darn cool.

[forest fractal]

got some questions again XD

Good morning everyone

any DFIR room suggestions?

[sinful moon]

back in the day I used to just get Linksys hardware and flash them with custom firmware for enterprise grade features, but the scene has moved on from then

[grizzled void]

https://tryhackme.com/hacktivities/search?page=1&kind=all&searchText=dfir&difficulty=all

[sinful moon]

I do need VLANs and other enterpise grade features, no arguments there

[grizzled void]

this is just a search for all dfir rooms on THM

[sinful moon]

Unifi/Ubiquity may not be perfect but they also don’t have many issues either, so I’m not worried

[lusty tusk]

Any specific reason for all of that? Or is it just because you enjoy it?

[sinful moon]

plus one way down the line yes I’d love to have a stack of their stainless steel rackmount equipment when we have a bigger space

[sinful moon]

We use them at work so I am already intimately familiar with them is one, but as such they are one of the better choices for prosumers as a result anyways

But again we already have three unifi APs, might as well have a full setup

[lusty tusk]

That makes sense!

[split compass]

For some context.
The switch I wanted on auction (went for $420, but I didn't want it that bad, I stopped at $300).
Is worth $13,000 new.

These feature parity Ubiquiti switches are <$3000 new

[sinful moon]

keep in mind this ranges from low end to high end

my little router is just $200

[half relic]

i got mine for $25 on clearance lol

[lusty tusk]

That's crazy. What benefits does something like that give for a SoHo environment?

[sinful moon]

You’re looking more medium to large scale for those rackmount switches and more

and they have fiber uplinks and more

The thing I’m buying (Gateway Max) is way more SOHO oriented

[split compass]

Flexibility and opportunity to learn mostly.
100Gbps connections, 90W PoE, VLAN and VxLAN, SPAN/Monitor ports, the lists go on.
But it's only as useful as the time you're willing to invest in making it useful.

Ubiquiti is nice because much like Meraki, it has some automatic metrics that are handy in troubleshooting, but unlike Meraki, you don't pay through the nose for an annual license.

[sinful moon]

and yep home office is exactly what this will be doing

[split compass]

I have a Meraki MR16 that I got for free in webinar years ago.
It will soon be replaced with the Aruba I just won in auction 😄

[sinful moon]

Unifi sees huge adoption in business world so great experience. I’ve never worked at a Cisco org, but yeah we avoid them like the plague

I was stunned to hear above that Ciscos just stop working entirely if you don’t pay the sub, usually most keeps working but you loose security subs

[split compass]

I maintain a vendor agnostic outlook on networking.

If you understand the available protocols how they work/how to work with them, then looking up implementation in one vendor vs. another is trivial.

[finite basalt]

guess what I bought earlier 👀
it's not on topic but it was a bargain

[devout palm]

Good night

[split compass]

Yeah, Meraki promised it "keeps working" after the license sub was up.
Nah, 3 years went by, my initial license ended, and every attempt to load a page was a massive ad banner "You are out of subscription."

Then I wiped to OpenWRT: )

[sinful moon]

See ya Heap!

[finite basalt]

gn 🙂

[sinful moon]

Good stuff, I was huge on dd-wrt and OpenWRT back in the day

[lusty tusk]

This is all really good info guys. Thank you

[finite basalt]

ooh, speaking of routers, I brought a draytek vigor 2862ac home with me today, from my parents

[sinful moon]

I was huge on the original WRT54G back in the way, which caused them to be required to open source that all in the first place due to GPL violations

once that router was a spare, I used it tons and tons for my wifi cracking exploits

[split compass]

I used to check their version numbers at every thrift shop and buy them up for mere pennies.

[sinful moon]

Heck yeah

Get the right WRT54G and you were set

[split compass]

You know a pair of them was used to make a 110Mile point-to-point connection?

[lusty tusk]

One last question, obviously I can just youtube it, but, a lot of people have recommended like setting up my own server/network as a way to practice. Any recommendations on good ways to start something like that?

[sinful moon]

Virtual machines

Windows Server has a free 120 day license you can use on the Windows side

Ubuntu server is just free

make a mini home lab if you have enough RAM

[split compass]

That reminds me, I want to play around with GNS3, see if I can a half decent training network going.
Might be able to get a PA3220 image through the networking portal at work.

[lusty tusk]

So I have vmware and I've got a parrot distro on it (and could figure out ubuntu server). I've always been a bit confused on a home lab though. What would that server connect to? Like multiple virtual machines?

[rapid merlin]

SOMEONE TEACH ME HOW TO HECKER

[fossil merlin]

Man I get more unprompted DMs from people in this server than anywhere else.

[sinful moon]

Yes, for example with Windows domain, you can set up Active Directory and Group Policy and domain other client Windows 10/11 VM you have

[split compass]

That is sad, and against the rules.

[fossil merlin]

I get it, I am attractive and smart and funny and cool but new people pls don't dm me.

[sinful moon]

Just imagine how it is for me with $FEMALE_NAME

If you want to practice networking you may check out something like CISCO's packet tracer or GNS3 software . They're virtual network simulators 🙂

[finite basalt]

https://tenor.com/view/yes-yes-sir-yayy-kataman-gif-12260883688244422951

I love that gif

[sinful moon]

if you say thanks or thank me for, etc the bot will pick up on it and add to a user’s rep if you leave the @ on

[fossil merlin]

Someone brought up seed oils and my favorite oils are avocado and olive

[eternal timber]

Man was trying to get free rep

[sinful moon]

[eternal timber]

[sinful moon]

[eternal timber]

Yeah

[lusty tusk]

Well in that case thank you for all the help @sinful moon

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #34 - 283)

[sinful moon]

[rapid merlin]

[sinful moon]

#34 in all of THM isn’t doing too badly

[sinful moon]

Not much, how about yourself

[fossil merlin]

This is my yippee picture

[rapid merlin]

[sinful moon]

thank you!

[finite basalt]

and breathe in, aaand breathe out

[rapid merlin]

Trying to get a couple rooms knocked out for the night and coding some tools.

[sinful moon]

But realistically it does mean something when 283 people have thanked me directly for something I contributed

[fossil merlin]

You're on a discord dedicated to a website with imaginary points talking shit rn.

I don't think you have room to talk 😔

[eternal timber]

Late stage capitalism

[rugged kayak]

ofc its you dropping the skulls 😂

WRONG SERVER

[finite basalt]

[fossil merlin]

That's me fr

[rapid merlin]

LOL

[finite basalt]

bogos binted 👽

[rapid merlin]

[sinful moon]

bro is just tilted because he has less pointless internet thanks points than me

[fossil merlin]

Honestly tho I was talking shit to someone and some random guy in the discord just piped in with "shut up bottom" and I had no recourse or comeback for that, it's really not that hard to cook me.

IDK why bros having such a hard time

[finite basalt]

that wording was immaculate, thank you

[twin ridge]

Gave +1 Rep to @sinful moon (current: #33 - 284)

[fossil merlin]

I am incredibly gay, so yes.

[finite basalt]

[jolly aspen]

[sinful moon]

[fossil merlin]

[finite basalt]

our fault we're literate

[sinful moon]

lol you’re fine, and we’ll all wonderfully diverse folks, no worries

[finite basalt]

gang shit

[jolly aspen]

I admire our bravery for learning to read at a time like this

[fossil merlin]

The curse of knowledge

[blazing granite]

https://tenor.com/view/bri-rimshot-vixen_xo-streamer-badumtss-gif-20278770

[opaque flax]

i literally just hopped into this server to see what was going on

[rugged kayak]

my man lev here avoiding them curses

[opaque flax]

i was not ready

[rapid merlin]

I noticed you didnt pign me in this message, its because you were unconciously scaredof myresponse, wasnt it?

[jolly aspen]

Yep, welcome

[fossil merlin]

Cooked

[finite basalt]

one of a kind bravery

[finite basalt]

real as fuck

[sinful moon]

I don’t ping unless it really needs someone’s attention so I don’t annoy them

[fossil merlin]

Buddy why are you here 😭

[opaque flax]

💀

[sinful moon]

meanwhile I left ping on there because I was lazy and it was too late

[fossil merlin]

Go do something with your life @rapid merlin

[polar pivot]

Yo yo yo

[sinful moon]

But sure please tell me how I need to touch grass or something

[finite basalt]

lev, you cool, we cool, chill my dude
don't worry be happy - bobby mcferrin

[rugged kayak]

my lord i shall skull them instead of you, your wish is my command

[finite basalt]

boy preggers boy preggers

[sinful moon]

lol that goes hard

[rapid merlin]

i noticed your bio says you are homosexual, are you aware this is caused both by eating too much carbs, a microbiome imbalance, parasites, as well as chemicals in tap water?

[jolly aspen]

Ok, what does that even mean 😂

[fossil merlin]

I've tried a few times it's hard 😔

[rapid merlin]

is that a hint of agression through all the soy

[opaque flax]

ah i see the trolls are out tonight

[blazing granite]

apparently, because he has no friends and he's bored 😂

[opaque flax]

fantastic thats what makes this server annoying

[finite basalt]

bless, we send that emoji in our friend group so much, we love it

[rugged kayak]

tap water and carbs turn you gay?

[jolly aspen]

Good grief

[rugged kayak]

damn

[halcyon jacinth]

I just played my second koth tonight and I've yet to score a single point smh

[sinful moon]

something about the frogs turning gay, we’re nearing those levels, whew

[opaque flax]

unfortunately people in KOTH have autopwn scripts

[polar pivot]

And goodnight lol

[finite basalt]

How about I info dump on you about my most recent investment, it seems far more interesting than your non-sensical ramblings

[sinful moon]

G’night!

[fossil merlin]

I don't eat soy aside from Indian dishes 😔

[jolly aspen]

https://tenor.com/view/simpsons-walkinandout-funny-gif-5070740

[finite basalt]

goonight 🙂

[fossil merlin]

Nah I think it was fucking your dad that made me gay 😔

[blazing granite]

and not a good or funny one. Mediocre trolls are the worst 😛 😂

[opaque flax]

yeah it's the standard edgy garbage

[halcyon jacinth]

I have yet to win any.. kinda sucks tbh. I've tried for months now 😭

[finite basalt]

so about the thing I bought, I bought myself an AudioTechnica LP-60USB for £16 + £2 postage

[rapid merlin]

what is it/

[finite basalt]

It's broken but apparently it's only the motor so the plan is to open it up, check what motor it is and confirm no life before I buy a replacement and fit it

[jolly aspen]

Gotta meet lev’s dad. Damn

[sinful moon]

Hmm I wonder what OSINT could be turned up about this individual, beyond them owning an Asus laptop

[rapid merlin]

sub 5

[opaque flax]

dude probably listens to alex jones

[fossil merlin]

He was mid 😌

[finite basalt]

but that'd have saved me about £70-80 and I can start buying vinyls to play once it's fixed

[jolly aspen]

Ah ok. Good shout nvm

[rugged kayak]

my man is ruthless

[finite basalt]

and if I want to upgrade it down the road, I'll just sell it at a profit and put the money towards the replacement player, maybe like a LP120

[finite basalt]

no clue what you're saying 🙂

[sinful moon]

alpha 5, beta -6, gamma niner

[finite basalt]

[blazing granite]

not hard apparently, you can find him in any alley 😂

[sinful moon]

attack as proceeded on target

[finite basalt]

I feel bad for people that care about their looks so heavily to the point that they compare themselves to others to feel better about themselves

It's pitiful really 😥

[jolly aspen]

One day I’ll be prettier than you

[fossil merlin]

Confidence is the most attractive thing.

[jolly aspen]

You’ll see!

[finite basalt]

nuh uh, I aspire to be like you 😎

[sinful moon]

we have a bogie on our tail.. but they’re not firing, they’re just spweing hate speech over open comms…please advise

[blazing granite]

@finite basalt still arond bagdad?

[rapid merlin]

I had to dial my confidence back a lot, too much attention lol

[finite basalt]

I've never been to baghdad unfortunately

I couldn't say what it's like

[jolly aspen]

Yea, gotta give yourself room to breathe

[finite basalt]

I mean I'm definitely not a huge looker but I'm comfortable with myself and if there's one thing I know I've got it's a kind personality but also not one to be mistaken for complacency and weakness haha

[blazing granite]

too bad, interesting city a lot of history

[opaque flax]

hold on let me ask chatgpt what this does

[sinful moon]

Just leave the troll alone and they’ll go back to their sad corner of the world

[jolly aspen]

Hahahahahahaha

[finite basalt]

for sure, I wouldn't go at the moment I don't think, but also I don't think I could go for other reasons but yeah for sure

[opaque flax]

haha chatgpt got it immediately

[opaque flax]

dunking on a troll is fun

[jolly aspen]

Love how extra this was

[rugged kayak]

zume our high test extreme intelligence friend my not understand this bigbrain shitpost 😂

[sinful moon]

Yes but it can draw thing out which is what they want, they want a reaction

[blazing granite]

I was there a long time ago 🙂

[sinful moon]

So by acknowledging them even to dunk, you’re giving them exactly what they’re looking for

[fossil merlin]

Bro going the extra mile

[finite basalt]

I feel like it's a lovely place outside conflicts and what not

really is a shame

[fossil merlin]

While I normally espouse leaving trolls alone I think this is the most unified general has been in a while.

[opaque flax]

quite possibly

[sinful moon]

lol fair I mostly say so because I already got the early dunks in myself lolol

[rugged kayak]

wait until mods come to his rescue and accuse us of unfriendly behavior

[heady ginkgo]

can you explain the joke to me 😭

[finite basalt]

I've come back from my parents and for the first time enjoyed visiting the city, needed the reset so I'm making an effort to not let myself get wound up too much by things
I've entered my calm-anger era 😌

[rapid merlin]

other way around

[fossil merlin]

It's assembly code that prints "levstinks"

[opaque flax]

ok i need to go back to studying for CPTS

[blazing granite]

Tehran is a whole different history. I have some stories of speakeasies there 😂

[heady ginkgo]

il learn that later Ig lmao

[rapid merlin]

manmade symbols

[sinful moon]

Please examine the beautiful assembly program left for you

[rapid merlin]

its obvious none of you watch goatis

[rugged kayak]

you are also manmade btw

[finite basalt]

No, I watch mayday/air crash investigation at the moment 🙂

but I appreciate your concern for the things I spend my time watching

[opaque flax]

[sinful moon]

[opaque flax]
