If I saw my wife doing that, I’d consider it a ploy to make me have her step aside so I can show her how to do it. It would probably work.

Some people grew up eating that shit and it provides them with a sense of comfort and familiarity.

That’s exactly it. It’s confort food for a lot of Americans. I grew up in a different country, where home cooking was the norm and fast food was considered a huge waste of money. I of course tried it when I got my own money, but there was no reason for it to stick with me. So now fast food places don’t even register as an option for me if I ever find myself needing to eat from outside the house. But I’ve seen my friends in the US talk about fast food, their eyes gleaming talking about the Whatever Burger at Whatever Fast Food and the Whatever Taco at Another Fast Food and always get the Whatever Sauce at Yet Another Fast Food. The same way they talk about Twizzlers or Twinkies or other absolute junk that they would never touch if it didn’t bring them back to their childhood.

Some great ones were already mentioned. I’ll add Life Is Beautiful (1997).

Two men walking in the bar and going straight to the bathroom together. Man jumped to conclusions.

I’ll never understand consuming this type of information in video format.

This is mine

I thought AI was great at picking up context?

I don’t know why you thought that. LLMs split your question into separate words and assigns scores to those words, then looks up answers relevant to those words. It has no idea of how those words are relevant to each other. That’s why LLMs couldn’t answer how many "r"s are in “strawberry”. They assigned the word “strawberry” a lower relevancy score in that question. The word “rescue” is probably treated the same way here.

I recall dreams the same way as I recall real events. There are no actual images or sounds that I can “see” or “hear” in my mind as I think back on the events, but I know I’ve seen and heard those things. So it’s difficult to answer the question. Did I “see” things in my sleep, but remember them only as ideas, or were they just ideas in the dream too? I tend to think it was the former.

You imagined a lot more details than I did. For me it was just the concept of a ball. And then the idea of it moving. The person and the table were left our as irrelevant.

The thought experiment I use when explaining to people about aphantasia is a much simplified version of yours: “imagine a circle”, “ok”, “what color is it?”

That’s it. People give an answer, sometimes including more details, like texture. Then I tell them that for me the question doesn’t make sense, I just imagined the idea of a circle and didn’t actually “see” anything, so there’s no additional detail to it.

I use multilingual keyboard layouts, so I know that at least on Windows the selected layout is specific to each window. If I chat with someone in one language, then switch to my IDE, it will not keep the layout I used in the chat window.

But I also have accidently hit the combination to change layouts while doing something, so it can happen. I’m just surprised that Cyrillic с is on the same key as C, instead of S.

Oh, right, using the same function name in multiple structs is what threw me off

There’s probably a rule that requires variables to start with a letter or underscore. Emoji are nor marked as letters. Something like _👍 will probably work.

I can’t imagine how something like homograph attacks can happen accidentally. If someone does this in code, they probably intended to troll other contributors.

Isn’t unicode support for programming not something new? I’ve seen a lot of code using Cyrillic or Chinese characters.

Am I blind? I can’t see where 👀 is defined.

It’s a seinen. If you’re more into shonen, then it’s not going to be as action-packed as you might be used to.

I don’t normally watch the same thing more than once, but I’ve seen this one three times (first time in college; then some years later I wasn’t sure I finished it the first time, so I rewatched the whole thing again; then more years later I watched with friends from work on our weekly anime night)

Monster. One of the best anime series I’ve ever seen.

it looks like a twist at first glance, but isn’t.

It’s four twists

I felt old when I started hearing Limp Bizkit and Blink-182 on my local classic rock station.

Not sure what that’s supposed to help with. I’d be even more uncomfortable if my steak had eyes and made eye contact than when a person does it.
