I do kinda like the idea of using CHERI to run all this C code with memory safety properties enforced by hardware instead of rewriting it all in rust, but whatever either works

 

idk I was thinking federated social media was pretty peachy at the start of the year but with the total failure of the mastodon project to implement basic trust & safety features to keep black people from facing torrents of racism on there it might be cooked

 

what the fuck is this

That's pretty wild. Total guess but seems like a supply chain attack to put in small amounts of explosive. Hopefully at least one failed to detonate so it can be dissected to see how it worked.

The zionist entity has used this tactic in the past to kill a bombmaker: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yahya_Ayyash#Assassination

 

One can surmise this is a commonly-used phrase in his private conversations

One thing I do notice is that all the airsoft stuff is a lot more Epic Tier One Operator coded which is cringe

 

I haven't gone paintballing in over a decade but did it a few times as a teenager at birthdays and it was really fun. Thought it might be a good time to go again for my upcoming birthday. However, airsoft has also become a big thing over the past few decades so maybe that would be more fun instead. Thoughts, experiences, opinions?

Depending on whether you think Aleksandr Karelin is a leftist by virtue of being a USSR athlete, probably him

the bok choy I get from kroger is way too large and sinewy and takes like an hour to cook all its water out even if I chop it up pretty small. why would the bourgeoisie do this? is this hamburgoid policy that all produce items must be made as large as possible?

Last time I paid attention to this game like 15 years ago it had a bunch of unfathomably wealthy digital landlords who possessed the only "master" copies of blueprints of all the components and weapons in the game, and if people wanted to manufacture those things for sale they had to pay the master copy holders for a copy blueprint that was limited to a certain number of uses.

The LA times ran this profile of him not long ago: https://www.latimes.com/la-influential/story/2024-06-30/palmer-luckey-anduril

Anduril means "flame of the west" btw it's not exactly subtle

Their business model differs from most defense giants because they develop the "product" (mass murder machine) first before selling it to the government, all the others do it on contract according to requirements. So it makes sense they would do ads like this I guess.

I had one of their recruiters reach out to me on linkedin recently and was like heeeeellllllll no.

 

You mean it's all just pension fraud?

In Okinawa, the best predictor of where the centenarians are is where the halls of records were bombed by the Americans during the war.

No really, please do come up with an argument for why eating chicken/goats/pigs/cows is totally fine but eating cats & dogs is not. It is a dreary day outside so I would like a laugh.

 

Sometimes I will invite USian people into my home and they simply walk past the threshold without thinking, shoes on, not then washing their hands, parading their dirty un-bideted ass everywhere

Recently picked up Slay the Spire on my phone so I could play it on a long car ride and was surprised at how much I enjoyed it. Will probably pick this one up as well.

 

Been thinking about this since I've been playing Rain World. I feel that Rain World is solidly within the genre. There are definitely video essays out there about it being about existing in an ecosystem or whatever. Pathologic is another obvious one. The original Dark Souls is probably paradigmatic of this category.

What traits define this category? I think:

  • Difficult, you struggle to make progress
  • Inscrutable narrative motivation
  • Hidden depth to the world that can be teased out through intensive study
  • Possible to find it fun, but much likelier to just bounce off (and watch the video essay instead!)

Is this a valid category?
