Karyoplasma,

Most upvoted means most correct.

Karyoplasma,

US politics are so wild that it’s really hard for me to distingish satire from reality.

Karyoplasma,

Fun fact: the famous bald eagle freedom screech as we know it from the movies is not from an eagle, it’s the scream of a red-tailed hawk.

Karyoplasma,

This is called parthenogenesis and is a known phenomenon, albeit rare in vertebrates. Some species, like the New Mexico whiptail, rely on it (all New Mexico whiptails are female).

Here is a paper from 2007 that talks about parthenogenesis in hammerhead sharks..

Karyoplasma,

Nobody would give two shits if that was the problem. The problem is that their behavior endangers the safety of others and the integrity of society.

I don’t just mean people who cannot be vaccinated. Without vaccines, lockdowns like the ones during the covid pandemic would be in effect pretty much all the time. We have functioning vaccines against diseases that are much worse than covid. We got lucky in 2020.

Karyoplasma,

The same company that gave out free baby formular to poor African families and then, after a couple of months, went “nuh-uh you now have to pay so your babies don’t die lol”? Surprising.

Karyoplasma,

God blessed the students with omniscient insight, so they reverted their concerns and joined the army to establish democracy all over the world. An eagle, sounding like a red-tailed hawk, was heard screeching in the distance.

Karyoplasma,

If you can get vaccinated and choose not to, you are an asshole.

Karyoplasma,

“Kernel-level anti-cheat” is just company talk for rootkit. I’ll pass.

I doubt that it reliably stops DMA boards anyway.

Karyoplasma,

When I was in school, I bought a Gameboy XPloder for 80 bucks and cheated Mews in Pokemon Red. I sold the Mews to everyone in school for 5 bucks a pop and made back way more than I invested. I don’t care if Nintendo finds out because I was 12 when comitting this heinous crime. As a bonus, I also never taxed those business profits. Checkmate capitalists.

Karyoplasma,

Yes, no shit. That was the outlook from day 1.

The Russian Army is largely represented as a bunch of baffoons in the Western media, but it’s still one of the 3 largest armies in the world. Ukraine cannot hold their lines indefinitely, the only way to “win” against an opponent that has multiple times your materiel available is guerilla.

Karyoplasma,

I’d like to solve, Alex:

What are different places on Earth from where the eclipse is visible?

A German state is ditching Windows and Microsoft Office for Linux and LibreOffice on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions (www.theregister.com)

Schleswig-Holstein, Germany’s most northern state, is starting its switch from Microsoft Office to LibreOffice, and is planning to move from Windows to Linux on the 30,000 PCs it uses for local government functions....

Let me tell you a story about proprietary software:

The German police force have a contract with a software firm that wrote their program to file and archive emergency calls. Basically just a form that goes to a database. Now, one day, an update got pushed. The problem with that update was that the hotkey for quitting out of the current form (q) now also fired when inside an editing field. The software firm did not acknowledge that as a problem and it took months of complaints to fix and it cost the taxpayer around 300,000€ in “maintenance fees”.

Karyoplasma,

Is there any hope for me?

Yes, public transport.

Karyoplasma,

That would be a good argument if the addicting part were the gameplay rather than the casino MTX store.

Are there tools that exist to anonymize writing styles?

I feel like with the rise of AI something that anonymizes writing styles should exist. For example it could look for differences in American versus British spelling like color versus colour or contextual things like soccer versus football and make edits accordingly. ChatGPT could be fed a prompt that says “Rewrite the...

Not even bad. The text is not a jab at OP, just a random thing that was in my head lol

Karyoplasma,

Shit advice. If my date dismisses me because of the phone I use, they are not worth pursuing.

If you are that desperate to get laid that you start tippy-toeing, consider paying a whore. Better for your mental health.

Karyoplasma,

Why is it that every time a dumbass steps down from being speaker, you guys manage to find an even bigger wanker? It’s kinda impressive, honestly.

Karyoplasma,

Has been known for years, has also been ignored for years. Infinite growth is much more important than sustainability.

Karyoplasma, (edited )

Does anyone else remember back in the days of VCR, the networks wanted to push a technology that disallows you from fast-forwarding through ad breaks on the stuff you recorded?

Pepperidge Farm remembers.

Karyoplasma,

Commutes are part of the work day if the employer does not allow WFH. How else is the employee supposed to show up for work?

There is no reason to debate, it’s clear as day. But the greedy, rich assholes on the reins think everyone should be honored to waste their lives working under them.

Karyoplasma,

I would probably still post on reddit if I could do it from my phone in an app that actually works instead of being a glorified ad platform. They killed 3rd party apps to bully users to switch to the official app to boost the usage stats to have a better angle to haggle for their IPO. Problem is that the official app is just excruciatingly painful to use if you are accustomed to a proper reddit browsing tool.

The backhanded, sneaky way they did it with all the denial and lies was just the straw that broke the camel’s back. Instead of being upfront and calling a spade a spade, they commited to a hostile takeover and removed all doubt that reddit is going to stay a platform for the people.

If they would have been honest from the get-go I might have continued posting.

Karyoplasma,

Official reddit posts are always cringey. They unironically call people “Snoos”.
