It’s fairly common right now, too.

They don’t block the wind so much as funnel it down the streets between them. But I don’t think NYC gets as windy as Chicago. There’s a reason it’s called “the windy city.”

Hey. That’s my thing. Get your own gimmick!

FurAffinity and e621.

Literally anything. Even the things I still have that use AA and AAA batteries (of which the newest things are my VR controllers which is so stupid…), I have rechargeable lithium ion AAs and AAAs for so I don’t have to constantly buy batteries.

As a kid, tho, I loved 9volts because they had the best connectors. I could take a little battery powered motor apart, glue it to some legos and use it to make machines that moved or did stuff. I almost killed myself once wondering what would happen if I took the cord from a busted fan, wired it to the 9volt battery motor and the plugged the cord into the wall outlet.

It blew up the motor and started a fire. 🤣

Find someone you know who smokes weed and ask them to hook you up with a dealer. Become friends with them. Smoke at their house.

That’s how it worked for me, when I was a teenager, anyway.

It’s really easy if you simply buy a ton of them all at once and just keep them in a cupboard or something.

It’s just missing everything from above the shoulders.

I feel I have a better understanding of written words than film. All my education taught was how to recognize things in literature; not any kind of visual medium. If a director of a movie uses a subtle visual element as a metaphor, I am probably not going to recognize it as such, compared to a similar metaphor used in a book, through text.

The only person I purposely annoy is my sister, and by just being extremely facetious if there is any ambiguity in the words she chose when telling me something.

Her: “So I made mash potatoes today…”

Me: “You made mobile army surgical hospital potatoes? That sounds unpleasant.”

Music for Airports

Wait… Brian Eno made the sounds for Windows 95? Holy shit.

Instead of “it hurt very much” you can say “it hurt a fuckton.”

I think monogamy might just be the uncommon thing, personally.

I want actual AI, and not even necessarily for anything other than answering the question of “can we make a sentient being that isn’t human?”

What is being sold as AI isn’t anything cool, or special, or even super useful outside of extremely specific tasks that are certainly not things that can be sold to the general public.

I want to, but Determinism sounds pretty reasonable. Everything is just going with the flow from the big bang, including what happens in our consciousness. Do I think this because of my own will, or because of events set into motion billions of years ago? 🤔

Literally every forum, chatroom, and social media site outside of TikTok, and I think Imgur, works the same way it does here. Including Facebook and Reddit. The only thing Reddit does special in this, is that blocked users engagement doesn’t appear to you either. So if you block user ABC, they will still see your posts, but if they vote on it, you won’t see that vote.

It does not work that way on Reddit, unless it is a recent change.

I want to know when and why younger people seem to think that blocking inherently works both ways. It’s almost never worked like that. If you block someone, you are hiding them from your sight; not hiding yourself from theirs. This is the most common way blocking works, with very few sites working the way OP thinks it should.

Damn bro… Nice rack. 😌👌
