IngeniousRocks (They/She)

This is the second time this unholy gif has come accross my feed this week and I just wanna say thanks for the opportunity to deep clean my eyeballs this evening.

You should really watch that video. It addresses that point exactly. In short, they mostly aren’t, that isn’t the problem.

Hey friend you know the chemicals they make those things from are like WILDLY carconogenic right? And that PFAs and their cousins last forever and don’t break down in the environment?

These chemicals are being banned because humans got too good at making super stable fuck-you-big molecules that just so happen to be wildly incompatible with anything that has DNA. These chemicals are literally everywhere with water treatment facilities having acceptable limits 2ppb or less. Yea, B, Billon. The thing with that amount though, is even THAT isn’t safe, its just regulable. Here’s an oversimplified video on the subject by Veritasium, the clickbait headline is just that. I believe this is also on nebula if you’d prefer to avoid youtube.

But my opsec!

Thank you!!

I live in a smallish town with decent public transport in the US. Free, highly reliable busses that go to nearly every part of town and a couple of the connected suburbs as well. The locals hate it, I guess they’re still mad it messed up traffic? Idk I just tell them if they hate the traffic so much use the free bus that is supposedly making their life so much harder.

This is abnormal in the US, having decent public transport. Its basically only available in MAJOR metro areas like NYC, LA, Seattle, Chicago. Most of the country barely has functional public transport, let alone reliable.

I think they tried to do that with the new one. The D Rex (are we still adding rex where it doesn’t belong?) was clearly modelled after the xenomorph.

I wanna be clear they failed. I haven’t been this disappointed in a movie since I saw TLJ for the first time

I had this issue when I had my filesystem on an sdcard. Turns out they turn off after sleep and don’t wake back up automatically.

I never recommend having a sober trip sitter, just an experienced tripper on the same journey. Sober trip sitters in my experience have a tendency to harsh the vibe and make me way more likely to have a bad trip.

Discs**

Disks continue to be the most efficient way to store bonkers amounts of data.

Disks refers to magnetic storage or solid state flash storage.

Discs refers to optical media.

While optical is still king for physical distribution of media to the masses due to its low cost of production, the rise of streaming will certainly be the thing that rips physical ownership from the hands of the people.

Dont stop buying DVDs or Blurays

I don’t mean to naysay but this isn’t reduced civil rights people are fleeing. The US is building concentration camps and has recently approved expanding their budget for ICE (originally immigration enforcement, now a gestapo analogue) such that it is larger than most world militaries.

This is naziism people are fleeing. This is death camps people are fleeing.

Thank 🫡💛

Ok so I normally don’t post AI slop but a while back I was selfhosting an image generation model and a friends and I were fucking around trying to make super high quality furry porn (I promise this is SFW) and ended up with basically the dude in this meme on a horse treking through the desert and he was so handsome. Anyway I wanted to share the image so I’m gonna go dig it out of my harddrive.

Sorry anyone reading this before I’ve edited the comment, I needed a placeholder or I’d forget what I was doing 😅

Edit: I found it in a photo I took with my phone

Ugh just look at that handsome man!

Anyway sorry for clogging up the feed with nonsense the meme made me wanna share. Please don’t hate me kthxbaiiii

The will repair it with flex seal of course

Note to self - automotive mechanics may be lemurs, High voltage electricians certainly are

Like fig newtons and oak, with a hint of grandpas shoepolish 🥰

ADHD often (not always, there’s a few types) comes with an inability or reduces ability to direct ones focus. It is believed that the mechanism behind this is one of early or overzealous dopamine reuptake.

Mammalian brains have a reward system based on the release and reuptake of dopamine. Perform survival task, get some dopamine. People with ADHD, due to their overzealous reuptake, do not build up significant enough amounts of dopamine for this reward system to function as normal. As a result of this, when someone with ADHD is cleaning (a task that would normally supply enough dopamine to hold attention) and sees the box of nostalgia, enough dopamine is released by interacting with the nostalgia box (because nostalgia) to override the attention on the task and shift it to the fun engaging box of stuff.

It’s not that dark. If mushrooms helped you realize you don’t wanna be married to a person you should divorce them. Why spend time with someone you don’t want to be with?

There is this belief for some reason that divorce is like the end of the world and a giant nightmare but like, I’ve done it, its not hard stuff and as long as you and your (soon to be) ex-partner aren’t assholes then the hardest thing is gonna be making your schedules line up.

Like Yeah it’s devastating to lose a built in best friend, but also you gotta live your truth

Anyways don’t jump on mushroom thoughts immediately, let them settle and ferment for a bit before you follow them.

In 2004 grandpa gave me an old laptop from 1995 to play around with. I wanted it to be faster so I tried using g.ho.st. That was a terrible experience, too slow of internet, cloud computing was never gonna work. After that I tried suse. They had this fancy iso builder at the time that let me pick all the packages I want from the repo and have them present on my ISO.

That’s started my journey, outside of school I’ve had Linux exclusively since.
