All that’s between you and success is a consistent and reasonable performance, but seemingly everyone else in the world is too greedy to pull this off.

God yes, it was fucking with my partners graphics drivers, and killed most games I have running.

I mean you joke, but the earth does bulge in the center a little

Yeah, most of that is on purpose. They fucked the search engines.

Yeah if I threw my Nokia 3210 I think I’d take out a support beam.

Oh, like a laptop that unfolds into an ultra wide?

Oh that’s sick hell yeah

Feel like this image is older than I’d be conformable with.

Maybe after windows 8? Last time I can remember.

So I’ve heard from a few places that being neurodivergent does give you somewhat resistance from propaganda because you’re already used to having to think through a bunch of shit without being able to rely on group think, etc.

But also, basic fucking empathy does kind of kick in really hard. The propaganda isn’t even that good besides, it’s just a bunch of idiots saying “NO THE DEAD CHILDREN WERE EVIL”.

Honestly about the same as I did with crowdstrike, the AWS outages. It’s not a good idea, could lead to ruin, people won’t diversify, Goto step one. It’s easier to just have a sensible chuckle and move on at this point.

I’m not sure if you’re asking this from a perspective of not owning a cat, but in case you are:

Cats are willful little things with knives for hands, and a proclivity to use them. You can train them out of it somewhat, but they likely will at some point do it again every now and then.

Sure, you can replace the chair, but it’ll just end up in a similar state real soon. I admit this chair is a rough one, and I buy different PC chairs the cats can’t destroy, but my couch has more than a few loose threads and at this point buying a new one won’t really help things much.

I keep hearing people wanting steamOS, but it’s just gonna be another distro. I think it’ll be good, it might have decent support and be moderately stable, but you can have that experience like already, in a few different places. Not perfect, but the option is a few bugs or constantly having to battle Microsoft trying to spy on everything.

Good to know people are just as stupid the world over.

Right? It’s a huge bridge between x86 and ARM, it just opened up a potentially huge market for lower power consumption gaming devices. You could have like a Gameboy that runs silksong or something.

Tons, my favourite is being very young and having my Nana read me thomas the tank engine stories on a bench in the garden.

Hey that’s not fair, I’m a fragile man obsessed with my failings!

But yeah no you right, trying to make up superiority to cover feelings of failure and insecurity is a classic.

I’m gonna be real with you, I think it was always like this, we just weren’t as aware. Similar to how there’s suddenly a lot of neo Nazis, racists, etc

Thanks, I’ll give it a look. It’s been really hard for me to find art books that actually give practical advise.

I typically do use rulers, but if you’re referring to the slight curve on the buildings here as they go up, I actually really like it. I know it might not be what you were going for, but it feels like what it feels like to be in an alley like this for me, sort of a fisheye effect that makes the top of the building look more closed in maybe.

Anyway, thanks again!
