Electrical tape

The first one was where you do pogroms against the antisemetic stereotype race, right? What’s the second one going to be, fantasy Holocaust?

I’m not beating the allegations unfortunately

In my defense the show is so incoherent I absorbed none of the plot

It’s true

Material conditions will improve in my lifetime

Yeah, I think Posadism is my answer too

Kitties

Read theory

Also don’t be afraid to do stupid shit

Seems as though they didn’t retest, they only scanned people once. Scanning people is expensive and getting people to show back up for a second scan is difficult. The abstention periods are likely based on self-reports.

With the low sample size of the study, I wonder how much of that is confounding variables. I know when I’ve been at my heaviest cannabis usage, my life was falling apart and I was using it to cope with a shitload of stress — which is known to cause short-term and working memory impairments.

Then you’ve also got, say, ADHDers (diagnosed or otherwise). We’ve literally got dogshit working memory disorder and as a population we tend to love substances (on account of the underactive reward circuits in our brains).

On the other hand…

Kinda sounds like you’re describing Tor

Last time I visited SF, there were so many moments of “wow this is a poignant visual metaphor representing this hellscape”. The one that stands out most was cryptocurrency billboard above unhoused people in front of a store where they automated out all of the customer-facing workers

I’ve lived in some real shithole parts of the rest of the country and visited plenty of others, absolutely nowhere has been as outright dystopian as the SF Bay Area

Several years ago I remember hearing from a comrade that youtube’s upper management is full of ideological fascists, so that sort of thing never surprises me even though it’s always horrifying

Oh no, I don’t think I ever had! It’s too bad most of them are lost, but the ones they recorded are cool as hell

Pictures At An Exhibition is my favorite piece of all time, and The Great Gate At Kiev is such a perfect anchor for the whole series, gives me instant chills every time I hear it.

Mussorgsky’s St. John’s Eve on Bald Mountain is another favorite of mine too.

Other than removing the ability of bigots and wreckers from hindering discussions or silencing users by burying posts with downvotes, as barrbaric said:

One healthy side effect is that it encouraged participation in discussions — if you think a take is bad enough to deserve a downvote anyway, you just need to do so in a way that associated with your user account (usually the nifty emoji.) If others disagree with your assessment, they’ll reply with why, and it starts a discussion. Now people need to post their dissent publicly.

I was apprehensive about the change when it was originally made but came around on it really quickly, it really made it much more pleasant and friendly to participate in the community.

When you’re writing such a small program, there’s an upper limit of how good “good code” can be.

The funny thing is enough candidates flub getting a working solution that writing something that does what it’s supposed to puts you in the upper 80% already
