Dude gets his understanding of human history through Saturday morning single-panel cartoons.

The porn-seeking is your maladaptive mood-regulator.

So if you want to change your behaviors or the way you feel about them, you need to change the way you think and feel inside.

Which means stop focusing on the behavior, and start focusing on the underlying feelings which provoke the behavior. I do strongly suggest therapy, because it’s an emotional thing that’s happening which leads to your useage.

“Linux”

I said the thing you all like, now will you like me and approve of me?

It is the same in Canada. However, there are still special provisions that 2nd class the labor rights of restaurant employees.

Oh wow, what a huge memory triggered! The total prioritization of whiz-bang on that site.

Shot me back to 1998(?ish?) where I met an absolutely amazing artist who started with street and scene art, huge airbrushed murals, and moved into digital media. He was an absolutely drug-addled, unprofessional lunatic. But also the best, if you could ever as the creative lead, draw a circle around him. We made a lot of games that were very bog-standard mechanically, but he took the creative design to places nobody had been in terms of visual game design. I love/hated him and I affectionately called him Mad Dog and it stuck at work lol

This website reminded me of his personal side project Dr Wash. I remember him showing off his site to me, which at the time was truly a marvel of what could be done artistically on the Web. After browsing every section and page, I was left with one question to him: What is it you actually do or sell?? I meant it! lol

This memory hit me when it took me 30 seconds of mystery meat navigation, then no-scrollbar but need to infini-scroll down to hopefully find textual information that actually says something. Etc. Some things never change haha

Imagine how shadows on earth would look if our sun was actually a cosmic LED bulb array with 9 bulbs.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Umbra%2C_penumbra_and_antumbra

Any light source they’re using isn’t a single beam of photons, it’s a cast cone of light. Actually multiple cones because mostly it’s LED array lighting.

So there’s an (effectively) infinite number of shadows because it’s being hit by photons coming from multiple angles, from multiple little light cones.

The shadows form a distributed pattern behind.

There’s other factors like scattering within the media the photons travel through (air) as well as refraction.

e: I tried to make it make more sense. Its about understanding that a light sources are cones of light hitting from many angles at once.

A better understanding will flow from knowing that federal minimum wage for tipped employees is $2.13 per hour.

So there is specific legislation in place to abuse restaurant workers, restaurant owners take full advantage of this.

Tu quoque fallacy

Just wondering, in your own words, what demographic is this article is discussing?

You know how everybody blames boomers for various things, which had nothing to do with them, they were merely victims of the capitalist corrupt systems they lived under? This is your generation’s failure to address the needs of the future. Good luck.

Delusional billionaire with a persecution complex.

Citizens United v Federal Exchange Commission

randomly shows up at a McDonalds with everything needed to convict him packaged together

Can you explain in brief, to a person pretty out of the loop?

As a friend I’m saying it’s time to drop out of law school.

In a way I was miffed by the very posting of the article. It misses the mark so hard. There was an opportunity to talk about privacy, instead bemoans the completely expected outcomes of being a drama queen online while also voluntarily vacating one’s own privacy. Yeah, just annoyed a bit more than anything.

TL;DR:

There is no controversy of any kind. They are engaged in a decades-long ongoing squabble with Nestle’s kit kat regarding 4 finger bars, nothing else.

I get what the author is going for, but I always come back to the feeling that these are self-created problems for the most part.

The author does point to the CEO and his love interest and that being exposed on social media and there was much destruction in their lives, but it had really nothing to do with social media; it had to do with their behavior in the human world, and social media just accelerated the discovery.

And on so many of the other points, it’s funny how I’m not on tiktok, instagram, facebook, or any of the privacy destroying apps looking for attention and posting personal information, and curiously /s I have none of the described problems.

I cannot relate to this lamentation.

I’m a huge privacy advocate, you should be able to intuit that from my comment, so don’t come at me saying I don’t value privacy, my point is that when you put your information out in the world and you act like a drama factory or an idiot, guess what??? And furthermore what the fuck were you doing sending your DNA to some random corporation???
