Which machines are people getting these days? I have a Dell Optiplex 3070 I’ve added a WiFi antenna to. It’s pretty small.

Such stable genius. Much 4d chess.

As a straight guy I can totally tell when another guy is hot and would have no problem telling him he’s attractive. But if I’m turned on by it I’m thinking that would negate me being straight. Pretty sure that at least crosses into the bi category.

In my book, a guy being turned on by women and not guys is the definition of straight.

Good point.

Jesus who is spending $200+ on a raspberry pi?

I just instructed the president to lick my balls. I don’t think he will though.

I think “inadvertently” fits in that it isn’t what they were intending to do.

“Accidentally” feels sorta judgy.

Or fireworks.

Glow sticks were invented in the early 70s and were pretty available in the mid 80s. But I don’t remember them either (high school in the late 80s).

This is amazing.

I won’t.

It has been too long since I watched that.

I read a short story back in college about a woman who helped people remember their past lives. Somehow she gets transported to a universe where reincarnation is completely real and everyone remembers all their previous past lives. Suicide was rampant and the world generally sucked. She somehow transitions to helping people forget their past lives to make the world a better place. I really wish I could remember the title of the story.

I’m old. What’s money?

Our freedom to kill brown people?

I get the same vibes from this woman I get from Sam Altman and Zuckerberg … just this cold, dead, vacant stare like there isn’t anything caring behind those eyes.

Yeah for some reason talking about what I do at work isn’t an issue. Anything else, I’m faking explosive diarrhea.

It’s resistant for sure. But say one instance becomes dominant and controls most traffic? It’s still possible however unlikely.

Or Usenet. Or BBSs. But one could argue they were all social media. I think the difference is the control that is being exerted by people in power. And that’s likely due to the audience size. It becomes an effective way to guide people’s ideas, decisions, etc. Facebook got there. Reddit got there. Lemmy could.

Your view is quite amazing btw.
