Unrealistic body standards at it again

By this definition, almost all memes are history memes.

Elder Scrolls IV is officially history. That’s too recent… wait…

This is one of my favorite videos for showing this in effect: https://youtu.be/o9BqrSAHbTc

Considering the competition starts at $60 and doesn’t have touchpads, back buttons or a dedicated wireless receiver, I’d say it’s pretty reasonable.

Best armor class

She probably didn’t know how a gun functioned at that level, considering her character history.

So were actually supposed to give attention to the most basic day to day chores?

Believe it or not, yes. It can be massively beneficial to teach yourself to give more true attention to all things. The more we’re in our heads, the less likely we are to be in touch with reality. Thought can only take you so far and there’s no downside to being more alert in our daily lives.

Obviously, if your job is to be a theoretical mathematician, this doesn’t apply in the same way, but mindfulness is a very real thing that benefits all parts of life.

Edit: I’m not even kidding when I say this is both the core principle of what Alan Watts was teaching (here’s a clip from his famous “Overthinker” speech) and the moral behind the movie Click. They’re both saying the same thing in different ways.

What you’re describing is the opposite of mindfulness and is a great way to entirely lose yourself.

Sure autopilot has its uses, but if you’re relying on autopilot day in and day out as so many people are now doing in modern day, you are no longer yourself. You have become your autopilot. Like a gentle brainwash.

If you do this for long enough, this is how you end up with a mid-life crisis, because you’ll go through decades of your life on autopilot when one day your actual self shows up to take an assessment.

That’s when you realize that all the decisions, desires, pitfalls and relationships you’ve been having were also your autopilot and not you. If you’re not legitimately assessing your life and reflecting on it on a regular basis and constantly giving your life “input,” the world will leave you behind.

To your first edit, having been a user since 2010, I’ve tried it both ways and sometimes just giving in to a new distribution is easier than spending a week or more combing forums and getting ghosted while your display resolution is broken.

When it comes down to it, unless you’re using Linux as a hobby, I say distro hop away until something clicks in your first few months. When you finally get your hooks into one you feel you understand, that’s when you start putting the effort into perfecting it.

1. Dark uses less power because it doesn't have to work as hard to brighten the screen.

This is only true for OLED screens. On an LCD, it technically uses slightly more power on dark to put the black “ink” in front of the white panel.

I always love it when people refer to “this ending” or “this scene” as if everyone is supposed to know what this blurry still is supposed to be from. Even if it was a video, that still doesn’t tell me what it’s from.

Edit: to all the haters…

Saying 'what kind of an idiot doesn't know about the Yellowstone supervolcano' is so much more boring than telling someone about the Yellowstone supervolcano for the first time.

I saw this from the moment BlueSky was trying to advertise itself as Twitter 2. Single point of ownership means it will definitely come to be locked down over time because server cost and administration will always be a problem.

For those that want the actual answer:

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler You turn on the first switch for a minute or two, turn it off, and turn on the second switch. If the bulb is on, it’s obviously the second switch. If the bulb is off and warm, it’s the first switch. If it’s cold, it’s the third switch. :::

It’s all a lot less fantastical when you compare it to Pocahontas:

I think it pays even more to not use X

I’ve seen this so much lately. Now anything that resembles high effort must be AI because no way an artist could actually do that on their own. It’s the death of art in more ways than imagined.

While I respect that everyone should have freedom of speech and expression, this guy was a complete moron:

Ismael was certain he wouldn't be imprisoned, saying in a stream: "I know for a fact that I'm not going to go to jail. Not one day in jail. I'm going to laugh my ass off when all these motherf***ers are saying I'm going for 30 years, 20 years, five years, 10 years. I'm not even going to do one day, bro. They'll give me a fine and say, 'Don't come back to Korea.' You're the one that's going to look so dumb when I don't get any jailtime or anything. Bro, I'm going to laugh like a f**king villain.”

Like, my God. “Don’t go shake those venomous snakes. They’ll bite you.” “No way, bro. They won’t even bite. Watch.”

Second guy should have longer thoughts. His legs are getting wet.

I don’t understand how it’s not a requirement to pass these safety regulations before manufacture. How can a company fully produce and sell a dangerous product as big and complicated as a car before someone regulatory sees it and cuts it off at the head?

This alone has left me with zero faith in pretty much anything I buy anymore. It’s like it’s a surprise when something works as advertised anymore.
