would you rather get one million dollars by eating a million bugs or pay one million dollars to have a million bugs eat you

Wow this deal just keeps getting better

Now I get money and free food.

Subnautica is scarier than most horror games.

I like how horror devs still don't understand that there's nothing scarier than being hunted by a large animal

Chased by emo looking ghost girl? Boring. Chased by bear? Shit my pants every time, natural response.

Well that's before you dehydrate, but Google doesn't tell me how light a dehydrated bug is so that's where the math ends

A ladybug is .02 grams, 1,000,000 is 44 lb, spread out over 30 days it's 1.5 lb a day

Free food for a month.

Also if you can dehydrate them they're basically just protein powder.

A fruit fly weighs 100 g, and 1,000,000 of them weigh 0.22 lb

I prefer eating a small snack over being eaten alive

it's that time of year again, when people don't realize big refunds means they paid more in taxes than required

That's technically true but misleading

Should have built a wall.

That would definitely keep the balloons out, pussies are afraid of walls

Also, let me just say I've done a lot of scraping and data analysis on internet investers... none of these fucking people make money, it's sad

The rabbit hole I've been down is deep. I could make a killer YouTube video about it probably.

I was a teenager when the stock market hit 1000 for the first time, it far outperforms SS for a return on investment.

If you'd invested the money the government took from you , you'd be far better off.
Rather than counting on living long enough just to even get back what was taken from you, let alone get ahead.

Share your magic stock picks

I won't invest in them, but I would hear you out

Yeah that's just a 401k

Your average person should definitely not be investing in stocks because it's just insanely hard to make money unless it just so happens to be a bull market

I don't think your average person is going to be able to tell when a company is overvalued or undervalued

Let's not kid ourselves, the Democrats have a serious corruption issue as well

They obviously do good things, but the way they get their funds makes them unable to do a lot of things they might even want to do. I mean it's not a tough sell to these people convincing them of things that are "just good", but they have to think of what their donors want first. It's just their donors aren't rich people hell-bent on keeping young people from having sex.

I imagine a lot of them justify and let the centrist ideology sink in for their own sanity, but I can't help but feel like a lot of them feel trapped and unable to do everything they want.

Joe Biden's wife herself even said in an interview, his medical policies might not be as good as the other guy's, but he's the best option you have right now.

R* fixed my account, good ending at least

Was just salty because I set aside that time to play GTA with my brother, but we played Raft instead, which is pretty fun

Lokarin posted...

3 years is defintiely hax, since that's about 28 months longer than their longest punishment

Yeah and how... I mean I would have thought of this

Scan your DB for people banned for 3 years, unban them, find the modders responsible and IP ban them. IP ban all VPNs, script kiddies gone. These are dumb bored kids, not a determined organization that can't be stopped. Easy fix!

These are basic things I've set up for websites before, my banning methods were more advanced than this. Bans should spread across IPs and associated accounts like an STD.

If kids want to have fun ruining other people's save games, they should be ready to not play that game anymore. If another person using that IP address gets punished as well, let them argue about it. And you have so many different methods of tracking your users with a locally running desktop app with essentially admin permissions.

I'm not angry that they suffered from an exploit, it's that this has been going on the entire time, nonstop hackers and modders in every lobby.

I mean if they don't I will spam support tickets, I don't want to lose my 7 year old account because R* can't hide API endpoints like any sensible developer would

Seriously, my account shouldn't be hacked like this unless R*'s servers are hacked, but for some reason modders just have these permissions locally

It's been 10 years, secure this shit, wtf

Kroger fried chicken > all else

Just get it on a sunday, on a slow day you may get chicken that's been sitting there for two hours and it will be dry

I don't buy more expensive than $9k, I don't replace until it stops working

I'd rather dump money into hobbies and technology than my ride to work

He marked me with the "bad sport" status, so I can only play in lobbies with other "bad sports"... for the next 3 years.

In that lobby is another guy that's stuck in there for 4 years. I can't play with anyone but these people, I was going to play with my brother but now we can't play together.

Rockstar will apparently do nothing. I hate that company, terrible. It's not even possible to get a ban for that long normally, the max is supposed to be 64 days, that should be the only red flag they need to unban me, but no. Terribly coded game, GTAV.

Only when I'm paying off my CC

Yeah I might be a proponent, but you assume I know more than I actually do or care to know

I don't know and would never ask personally, the trans people I know have not had any surgery past hormones. That's pretty expensive, especially in the US.

Dead tie

China really wants a fucking balloon over our country.

Every time we blow one up the president gets some good PR, it's like they have skill points in them.

Oh, AoE for sure

Though these days I kind of hate it, because to play it on any harder difficulty you're basically expected to have the skill level of a speedrunner, otherwise the AI will just zerg you down immediately, you'll panic and lose. Very stressful, but I guess that's why I belong on medium mode.

AoE2 is so hard, I'm normally the best at RTS games, but other games' extreme difficulty is this game's medium mode.

Remember when people were upset when the jailbait reddit was shut down?

Crazy to think that actually existed, it was just totally normalized

Lokarin posted...

well, trees do more than just capture co2, they provide substructure for other life forms

True, but they did it with the explicit purpose of capturing CO2, which didn't make sense at all

Lokarin posted...

one silly solution is to put mirrors up on the poles since polar albedo is one of the stronger shedders of solar heat

Or if instead of planting trees to combat CO2, we genetically engineer some rapidly growing plant and then bury it in the ground so that it doesn't just release it back into the air? Bamboo grows way faster than a tree, don't know why we got stuck on trees

Pretty dumb idea but it's better than the Mr. Beast solution where we just indiscriminately plant trees because trees good, physics be damned

Futurology talks about carbon capture, but the fact is that climate change is not a technology issue, it's a politics and corruption issue (right wing), and all this planet-saving climate change technology is generally a scam

Imagine setting up these big expensive machines that pull a tiny amount of CO2 while 10,000 times more is pumped into the atmosphere

Lokarin posted...

oh, i like their climate change stuff... just don't like their speculative science fiction

I like their far future stuff because they include the fact that "you will be dead before any of this cool stuff happens, also it will only happen if you prevent corporations from murdering you first"

A lot of physics is pretty set in stone, like "if we were to ever do this, this would be the only way"

Lokarin posted...

ya, Futurology is pretty lame... Same with "The Infograpics Show" and ... ehhh.. Kurzgeghahtsz?

The infographics show is just the worst, lazy content rehashed with this weird authoritative attitude

Kurzgeghahtsz is kind of awesome, though. Don't know why people suddenly started hating on it as if they're some kind of shills. They've said multiple times that the best way of fighting climate change is to get involved in politics, which is about as honestly blunt as you can get without saying "vote bernie sanders, overthrow capitalism"

Every AI topic is just painfully stupid, and the only reason I can tell is because I work with AI and am familiar with it. That makes me think that every topic is stupid, and I just don't see why because I'm not an expert.

Like this one, where people base an entire argument off the idea that "only corporations will be able to afford the images to train with in the future if we implement this one rule to help protect artists"
https://www.reddit.com/r/Futurology/comments/10w3uz5/closed_ai_vs_open_ai_how_the_backlash_against_ai/

(because there's no way an artist would opt-in to have their art help train an AI for any reason ever, no, it has to be this exact scenario against the general consensus and wishes of the art community)

This reddit is nonstop Musk fanboys/ex-fanboys, the solar powered roof tile overlord.

Fuck that, if I work harder than someone that's been there longer I should be able to get ot over them

So old people in retail get paid less despite being there for 30 years because the new guy can lift heavier boxes

Not everything has to be for the benefit of the company

Seniority pay guarantees that a worker has something to work towards and that their loyalty will be repaid

Says who?

You could lose your old friends and never see them again, they could just move away, you grow up and never see some people you would never spend a day without, you could do something to make someone angry and have them never talk to you again, we live in a world so big that everyone eventually becomes a stranger, your coworkers who were like family to you

Some of those things could pile up on you until you can't take it anymore, and then you're expected to start it all again from scratch when you have nothing left

https://soundcloud.com/jamie-yello/i-lost-everything

It's crazy how when some people leave you, it's like they died, but it's not acceptable to mourn

I used to be so happy, now I just sit in my room alone all day, don't take your loved ones for granted. If you have anyone close to you, you did a good job living how you're supposed to live, we're not meant to sit in dirty rooms all day. I can't fix the mess I made, but you can

Sorry to be a downer, I wouldn't post this but I have no inhibitions right now

My understanding is that the Switch actually isn't powerful enough to port it. X pushed the WiiU to its absolute breaking point, such that without rebuilding it entirely from scratch (to avoid having to run a WiiU emulator on top of what the game requires), the Switch can't handle it.

nah, I don't trust products advertised by rando youtubers

Nordvpn is legit

Google Fi VPN is a joke. They literally just track you harder. Only good for bypassing streaming restrictions. At least until Google sets up a communication line with Comcast/some media troll's lawyers.

McSame_as_Bush posted...

Depends what you want to use it for. Tor is free and more secure, but wouldn't be recommended for streaming/large downloads.

Tor sucks because you're banned from most websites. I wouldn't use it unless you're doing something illegal like buying drugs. Even then, you'll just get scammed/poisoned with filler, because no accountability.

Sounds like they could have had an ex or a partner

I try not to get upset about someone until after the first date tbh, until then they're just a possibility, but it's really immature not to be honest

Wow I called it the wrong name. I constantly do that irl like five times and correct myself because I'm bad with words. Dumbest thing ever.

I constantly forget my friends' names as well, but go off I must be an idiot.

No, and something not being open source doesn't mean you can't download it, that's not the right term.

If you're using a torrent my advice is don't unless you know what you're doing. You have to configure it to use a VPN.

A VPN will hide all downloads from a browser.

Serious answer if I were in an apartment I would not connect to the internet without a vpn. And I'm not talking just for porn. Any hacker in the complex might try to get into your accounts or monitor your activity.

People are worried about porn but that's like the last thing an attacker would be interested in.

Turns out, Trump didn't give a single solitary shit about our airspace being violated, but our boy Brandon stepped up and shot that shit down. Donny boy was scared of a little balloon.

Oh, lol.

So he was brave enough to personally storm the state capitol but not brave enough to shoot down a Chinese spy balloon.

Tons of people dunked on Big Mouth back when it first came out

That said, it never had the same level of audience because it wasn't an adaptation/parody of a childhood classic. I'm sure if Big Mouth used characters from like, Blues Clues or some shit it would get a louder reception

It would have looked hideous, been really gross, unfunny, and it would have defiled people's childhood memories.

Trump is a little busy banning trans people currently

Trump, stop bumming me out, talk about the balloon...

Say something funny about it like you said all those funny things about vaccines.

2024 issue confirmed.

Trump would (want to) have that thing shot down immediately.

Yeah I don't think the Chinese are using hot air balloons or blimps to spy on us, it's a weather balloon with spying equipment

So what happens when it pops and we clearly see that it's not a normal weather balloon? Does it self-destruct? Then we all go home "well the normal Chinese weather balloon burst into flames guess we'll never know"

Lol that's honestly pretty funny.

Can we make this a campaign issue for 2024?

I've watched them with people, but I don't care for them. It seems kinda perverted.

If they were lesser crimes I'd agree and just say they're at a low point in life, but all these are murderers and sick people.

I did feel bad for one 15 year old who killed his mother in a state of psychosis and was obviously very mentally ill. I was hoping he'd get treatment but he just got 71 years because he was insanely creepy and botched his court testimonies. Kind of crazy when another perfectly sane murderer only got 15 because he took a plea deal.
