OK

Crazy.

Here

Even layman Autism tests are pretty crazy accurate even when self administered, for those who score high.

If you score high, don't pay. You're on the spectrum. Like 97%.

can someone explain this to me? 🫪

Frankly to suggest that an enterprise firewall would be susceptible to a simple path traversal attack is insane. Unless there's the most embarrassing news story of the decade im missing? That kind of input validation is baked into basically everything these days.

Maybe you'll land input validation using quadruple URL encoded '../' or something but even still I'd doubt that.

So the person who replied to you is 100% correct in what it's about, but it doesn't really explain the comic. Unless it was made in like a decade ago.

Linux users switching back to Linux after 10 minutes of using Windows

I gotta say I might dislike Microsoft more than Apple...

But I kiss ground returning to Linux or Windows after being stuck on Mac OS.

Windows is an old comfort. I know all the shortcuts. I hate their brand, ethos, etc.

But when I am stuck using an Apple product I want to rip off my fucking skin. Fuck your command key, stop trying to be special. Your system tray is obnoxious. I hate your unified application menu bar, it makes no sense with un-maximized windows. You got rid of the single button mouse because yeah obviously that was stupid, why not get rid of the rest? Firewire? Fuck off. Those fucking charging cables. Fuck. Off.

Fuck Microsoft, but Apple don't catch enough hate. Fuck them too for their benign prison of an ecosystem.

...

Sorry. I get way more bent out of shape having to use macos or ios for work than I do windows. Way more. Fuck em both. I can handle powershell. I cannot handle a fucking circus of bullshit.

Every Mac I must use at work gets a Linux VM. I will not tolerate their operating systems. I don't do the same for windows at work. I tolerate it.

How do I improve my self-esteem?

Accomplish things that you, right now, identify as something to be proud of.

Then reflect.

So like, ever summited a mountain? If you're able bodied and there's one near my, go hike it. Bet there's a rewarding view at the top.

Then when that automatic negative thought comes up, squash it. "I suck. Oh wait no, I climbed a mountain the other day. That was rad. Im awesome."

Vogue Williams calls out Red Hot Chili Peppers frontman for dating 19-year-old when he was 50

I'll never miss an opportunity to shit on Anthony Kiedis. But no one did it better than Mike Patton, so let's just relive one of the most epic public fuck yous in musical history.

In the late 90s, one of Mike Pattons many acts, Mr Bungle, was on tour opening for RHCP. Patton believes it was due to them putting on such a hard to follow set that Kiedis kicked them off their tour stating that they were "Trying to rip off his style."

What followed was, well, this. Mr. Bungle Halloween Show dressed as RHCP. Pattons way of saying "If I wanted to rip off your style I'd do it like this." In the video their bassist, dressed as flea, can be seen miming injecting a syringe into his arm. Their guitarist, dressed as Frusciante, can be seen snorting invisible cocaine off the keyboard.

Patton decided the final piece of his revenge was to get back to the studio with Mr. Bungle. He hired out fucking John Zorn (Saxophonist for Zappa) to produce their new record. They titled it "California" and released ~5 weeks after RHCP released "Californication" as a final statement, to say something to the effect of "THIS is my style. RHCP doesn't have style to rip off, you're an easily replicable pop act."

If you've never heard "California", you owe it to yourself to make it your next full album listen. It is truly one of the best records of all time. Mike Pattons range is frightening.

AI is the solution

I literally know what the word is because I asked my mom what it was on the tag of my undies that had all the fruit.

But then the truth seems possible that there were counterfeiters selling to off brand discount stores, etc.

As stated in my post, California came out after this beef. It was Patton's final blow to RHCP to title their next album so similarly to RHCP.

But you're right that Keidis was likely more familiar with Faith No More in his suggesting Bungle was ripping off his style

This is what makes the 'most public musical fuck you' so immense. Patton was showing Kiedis that Bungle wasn't only 'not Faith No More,' (which to Patton, sure might have been a bit like RHCP.... because it was his pop act. He was trying to make money, not be artistically inportant. And it was still more diverse than RHCP could ever dream of becoming. He was subtly saying "Faith no more was my pop act. You know me through that. Bungle is the real me, these are my friends from high school. And because you're a twat, the next Bungle album is titled 'California.'"
