I’ve never really been able to leave my zits alone, if i see one and don’t pop it i can’t stop thinking about it. So yeah i’ve been popping my zits into napkins since always and it’s kinda fine, it wouldn’ be fine if i got more though.

That’s my skincare routine in its entirety.

Staying off of social media is actually the default for billionaires, they tend to stay out of the limelight. We just happen to have a few that like the attention.

All of my media companies just say what i want on their own, the fact that i own them is on the back of their minds and makes them self-censor without me needing to say anything. I just hire a manager that i know agrees with my opinions, he then proceeds to hire journalists that agree with our opinions, and they proceed to do what looks like propaganda without anyone needing to be told to do it.

I don’t tell my media companies what to report because there’s no need to, and if i did then there would be a paper trail.

A goddamn dishwasher. I used to wash a lot of dishes by hand growing up so it took until my 30’s before i realized that dishwashers are a wonderful invention.

Look, i’m buying two hard drives no matter what to anticipate a drive failure. In that case, if i’m anticipating a failure anyway, might as well buy them second-hand and, yes, save a ton of money.

The key is to look for a CrystalDiskInfo screenshot in the ad, which is indicative of a serious seller and also lets you know the drive’s condition. If you buy from a professional, you may get a warranty.

Man i’ve have dozens of usernames spanning 15 years but i ALWAYS get comments about my username being funny lmao

Yeah, the key is to add “umm” and “uhh” here and there. Makes it conversational

Fucking, uh, keys and a wad of cash. Oh and phone i guess. I kinda stuff them wherever depending on what i’m wearing, i don’t have that many pockets so i don’t fumble for them that much. This one pair of jeans has a hole in the pocket, i don’t remember which one, but basically can’t put coins in that. Um. Yeah

You mean you tell them to KYS right?

Allright knuckleheads, here’s what you do:

1. Follow people who’s content you’re interested in

2. Browse Following and not For You

3. That’s litterally it

I get so peeved when people browse algorithmic feeds and then complain that they see bad content. You fools. You cretins. I’ll have you know that i actually have a pleasant experience on Twitter AND THAT’S NOT A JOKE, i genuinely have a good time on a bad website purely because i stay away from the For You feed. It’s literally that simple. The only time i get conservative propaganda is when someone i follow quote tweets it with a snarky response.

I’ve had someone assume i was a nazi because i’m still on Twitter and i got a little (too) mad at them because we clearly don’t share the same reality. They browsed For You and quite rightfully left the site never to return, and they don’t understand how i’m able to stay; no shit, i’m able to stay because i don’t browse Following.

Now the thing is, this is how i’ve always used the internet, from the start i’ve built my follows list with this browsing habit in mind so i only follow like 200 people with the specific purpose of seeing their content; but for a lot of users, following is more like pressing “like” on a profile, and they end up following 5000 accounts. In that case you’re gonna get way too much content sprayed at you and pruning your follows list is going to take forever. I don’t know what to do in that situation tbh

An under-appreciated fact about fascists is their karen-adjacent sense of entitlement and victimhood. Which will be amplified if they become the target of violence.

Has anybody tried to get TempleOS to run Doom?

It’s not compatible with LinaegeOS or any FOSS operating system, i checked.

A while back i would have complained that the fingerprint scanner was crap, but i actually got that working properly by entering the same fingerprint three times

The reason i’m an atheist is not because i have rational evidence that religions are false, it’s because i believe that the underlying mindset is false: objectivity, authority, absolutism, the idea that humans are at the center of the universe, a clear distinction between good and evil, the concept of good and evil itself, etc - none of that is true to me in the sense that it doesn’t match reality as i see it. I crave the simplicity and ease of such a mindset, but i can’t think my way into it, and i think i’d be further from truth if i did.

Honestly, i may be the most hardcore atheist, but it would be sweet if there was a God. You could know good and evil for sure, everyone gets what they deserve even if it’s only in the afterlife, everything has a purpose…

I think it is objectively true that nature is chaos, we emerge from nature, and everything we believe in (currency, nations, laws, good and evil) are just social convention; all of that is the truth, and adapting to the truth helps me live a better life and make better decisions. But it’s hard. It takes mental effort to accept that you’re not the center of the universe and it’s a disappointing thing to learn. I’m tired and i want someone to hand me meaning and purpose on a silver platter.

No, p is like a d that was rotated 180°, whereas b is like a d that was flipped horizontally.

Though i do now realize that the same is true for u and n, my mistake, still looks neat

The word

dumb

is almost perfectly symmetrical, at least d and b are, and i really like it. Depends on the typeface of course.

You can have a perfectly symmetrical set of letters by writing “dunb” but that’s not a word

I have all of the Billboard Top 100’s for every year from 1950 to 2009. When i downloaded it i thought that litterally every popular song i’ve heard of would be on there.

Not only are there a lot missing, there’s so so much crap. It turns out bland generic love ballads have sold really well throughout the decades, and genuinely memorable songs are a lot fewer than 100 a year. Not even to mention all the ones that don’t chart. Sure 1957 had Elvis’s Jailhouse Rock, but you know what else it had? Elvis’s Loving You, Elvis’s Love Me, and Jerry Lewis’s “Rock-a-Bye Your Baby with a Dixie Melody”. Cool. Thanks for that, Billboard.

Overall there’s a tremendous survivorhip bias. By definition we only remember the memorable songs, which gives the illusion that everything was memorable.

But also, having grown up in the 2000’s, i really think it’s one of the worst decades for music. So much so that i was into 60’s rock back then, and in the 2010’s i was into the new wave of thrash metal, literally one of the most regressive genres there are. I wasn’t alive for the 80’s, i didn’t like the video games or the movies and didn’t participate in virtually any of the 80’s nostalgia that was trendy at the time, but i did prefer the music to anything my current decade had to offer.

Yeah but what percentage of air traffic controllers are women? Those that are will have to coordinate a lot more landings than usual.
