My violin teacher called it practicing without ambition. Every time you practice, you’re supposed to criticize yourself and constantly compare yourself to better players so that you can strive to master a specific part of playing. In a healthy way, of course. Otherwise, you can “practice” for fifty years and still never learn anything.
It started as a 4chan prank to trick liberals, but ended up being taken just as seriously by Nazis, KKK, and white supremacists. It was called Operation O-KKK and the plan was to flood Twitter using, and I quote, “basic white girl names” accounts and tweet that the OK sign is a white supremacy symbol.
Later, the OK sign became like a signal to these white power people that you were a sympathizer or member. I don’t know how true this is, but at this point the OK sign were said to represent the letter W and P, for white power.
During this time I remember a lot more memes used by these losers. I think Pepe? I don’t remember much else.
So the guy in the pic is just a homophobic bigot? Or homophobic but also sexist, on account of the female characters looking as worn as the male characters? I’m too old to understand what woke means, but the guy’s post is also confusing to read.
Where do they think all the surgery techniques and medicine come from if not from education? Do they think we don’t need any more progress? This is shortsighted and evil thinking. Everyone deserves an education, both formal and informal.
I feel the exact same way you do about DOS2. I switched to an easier difficulty soon enough. Baldur’s Gate 3 feels like I finally get to be a player as a forever-DM, but also makes me feel like scolding the non-existent DM for some stupid encounter and quest design. I play with a full party of friends, so maybe it’s because we fuck around too much.
That said, it is early access. Hopefully the final product has better intuition so that you don’t have to save-reload all the damn time because you didn’t mindread the devs.
I don’t know a thing about coding but I have an Ubuntu now. I’m still figuring out how to install 7zip, and I’m beginning to wonder if “install” means something else in here. It’s been fun though.
That’s crazy. He wants to turn the app into an everything app and there isn’t even concrete plans in place. Wish I could be a fly on the wall in their meetings. If they even have one.
I recently got my first 3D printer to my place just a couple weeks ago! I thought it would be really nice to keep a small sample of each of my filaments printed out so that I have a readily-available example of what each actually looks like....
The reply to that tweet makes a lot of sense and it’s been around for a while. Why doesn’t this change more people’s minds? It changed mine the first time I saw it.
I remember this sparked an argument the last time this pic was posted somewhere else. Like, the bread isn’t toasted, it’s butter but the lighting makes it look bright, no it’s cream cheese the lighting is normal, etc. It was the pettiest thing but things for racist real fast.
The bitter fight between Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and Rep. Byron Donalds over a line about slavery in the state’s revised African American history standards is infuriating several prominent Black conservatives.
I don’t understand how anyone can be happy with the conclusion that this random man is some godsent, instead of the people that actually help humanity day to day. I’m not religious at all so maybe that’s why I don’t understand, but like… Why?

White chocolate is better than dark chocolate and i'm tired of pretending it's not
The flavor and the texture are so much better than those bitter dark chocolate bars.
