If you complain about a technical thing, you’ll end up having to justify every square inch of your existence in order to prove your complaint isn’t just user error.

Two examples from yesterday:

Rocko’s Modern Life was a helluva ride

I think they accidentally a word

Inflatio

Killing brown people. Incredibly skilled at it.

I did not think there was that much to tightening. I read the whole damn thing.

And those configs are clearly the result of someone else stitching together three different examples from different versions, with some settings that are silently ignored in the latest version or only exist when compiled with special flags.

Here is a basic way to configure the service:

…

But this method has significant drawbacks and probably won’t work for most use cases, so do what works for you.

I thought Menard’s slogan was “save big bunny at Menard’s”.

The first time I went to one was around Easter, so they had bunny-themed stuff around. And the store’s speakers were shit, so it was hard to understand the ad spots playing over them.

I wasn’t sure why Big Bunny was in trouble, or what it would take to save him, but I wasn’t too worried.

Eventually, I saw a commercial for it and figured out I had misheard it. I still like my version better though.

Arcane. It’s always Arcane. Arcane.

Maybe the COPS theme song, cuz I think it did a lot to popularize the show and that was some mega-potent copaganda that did long-term damage.

Maybe Horst-Wessel-Lied, for similar reasons.

Whatever the hell candy corn is.

• Nearest market: 600m
• Nearest big supermarket: 5.2km
• Nearest bus stop: 5km
• Nearest park: 1km
• Nearest library: 1.6km
• Nearest train station: 26km

Having a small market so close is a massive improvement from my previous address, where the only option was a big supermarket 3.9km away.

Story 2 - clipping.

The time signature changes create a surreal effect. In the first half of the track, it creates a feeling of being lost in thought. And then in the end it becomes a sense of panic.

If you like that, I also recommend live for no audience during a global pandemic

Ice cubes. From a cup. That they are shaking periodically between sips/bites.

Questioned religion from a very young age. Went hard into the “New Atheism” movement as a teen. Figured physicalism was a necessary consequence of atheism.

In March, I binged several episodes of Walden Pod.

Now I’m open to the idea of a soul and an afterlife. (Not convinced, but open.)

I’m still an atheist, just not a physicalist. It seems childish to me now, in the same way that religion seemed childish all along.

I was a little older, like 3rd grade, but same. Nightmares about being overrun by bug hordes for months and months.

I learned to open bottles using a lighter, and then taught my friends. After a while, we just started referring to lighters as “bottle openers”.

Some seemingly-innocuous channels just happen to appeal to fascists and become arbitrary entrances to the right wing YT pipeline.

I’ve noticed Big Think, Sabine Hossenfelder, lots of economics videos, and lots of less-reputable science channels tend to spur a rash of neocon content.

More horrific algorithmically-controlled jobs.
