That’d be part of why they’re single, I guess

Every Ralph you think about after you stop thinking about the previous Ralph is a new Ralph, completely independent from the previous Ralph event.

Is it genocide if you are also creating the Ralphs that you kill?

I have barely watched any anime in like 10 years, so this is probably too niche and dated, but…

The wind… Is cold today.

… A cold front is coming…

… From Siberia

(dies inside)

I don’t know you, but there’s a chance that someone else had this exact realization after seeing you

… Wait. I assumed it was my extension cord keeping me up at night. I just learned to use it as white noise.

I swear my therapist says she sees no reason for me to be diagnosed as autistic

Out of all the ways I’ve ever been told I may have autism, this is certainly the most unexpected! At a certain point I should probably get a diagnosis.

In my family’s defense, they did believe me as soon as they tested my hearing (after trying to trip me up several times, without success), so I never felt gaslit, I just felt proud of my hearing hahaha.

Yeah, I didn’t mention this in my previous post but it was annoying, for sure. I would listen to this annoying noise, nobody would hear it, and I’d eventually discovered that somebody had left the TV on.

That phenomenon is also something I saw, but never really gave it much thought, I just assumed it was just something our eyes did

I can hear CRT screens. They emit a high pitch noise that nobody else in my family can hear, I assume most people actually can hear it but never noticed it. My family used to think I was crazy or had tinnitus (jury’s still out on both) until they tested me by making me close my eyes and tell them if the TV was on while turning it off and on at random, with sound off. It was a weird test from my perspective, since I could hear it fine anyway. So far I haven’t noticed a decay due to age, but if it had little use when CRTs were widespread, it’s now completely useless.

It did not. You never played Quake or Unreal Tournament and made your own skins. You never dabbled in map making for any of these games or games in the Doom engine. Nobody ever made skins for minecraft Java. Your life is a lie.

So is mine!

I have seen variations on this online for a long time, and this has always baffled me: do strangers in America really go up to random people who are speaking foreign languages and tell them “you are in X, speak Xese”, a language they may or may not speak? Even among people who share their native language?

Did you write this? This is gold

Spacing constraints led to accidental French in “Reset_Contagem”

And yet never implemented! Good guy Sony getting a patent so nobody else will do this

LaTeX: ok, I’ll print out 100 in math mode. No problem

Based on having had to read that comment I would say we’re already in the bad place

Pack a bomb??

I’m worried about them randomly selecting my bag for drug inspection or the bag being tagged in the X-ray… And the TSA agents judging my bag packing method and skills

Yeaaaaah

This was so impactful that I only recently realized the title of the actual TV show wasn’t “Tool Time”. People talked about a mysterious show called “Home Improvement” and I didn’t even suspect it was the one I watched with my parents all those years ago

ChatGPT can be super useful, but I’m kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.

I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.

At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him “wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?”

And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate

(he also reeked of weed so there’s that)

Luckily it’s an alligator, so the tears are genuine. If it were a crocodile, on the other hand…

I have a quick question as someone not from the US. What is the general opinion that people have of Kamala Harris? Do people voting Democrat have an overall positive impression of her? Or are there people who could be disappointed with the choice?

That’s amazing!

Now give me a tip to prevent myself from opening the same app immediately after hahaha
