A fun update to the ongoing Reddit meltdown: r/femalefashionadvice has, after polling their users, reopened to only accept posts about 18th century fashion.
See, THIS is why Reddit refugees were welcomed with open arms.
I mean seriously. Twitter refugees came here with "UGH! Thid id what we've been reduced to!" attitudes despite them stealing from us for years. Reddit folks are like lost lambs.
It used to be that treating droids with respect was a sign of a sensitive and empathic soul and a noble heart, to see the humanity behind the metal exterior. But when droids are as cute and expressive as BB-8, mistreating them would be like drop-kicking a puppy, so it’s hardly a difficult test of character.
treating C-3PO with respect, that’s the real challenge.
if R2-D2 can’t treat C-3PO with respect I don’t see why anyone else should.
We can always fix it later
At least one of these bricks should have something vague and ominous written on it.
also since we are all critiquing the discourse right now, it would be awesome if we could keep talking about the inhumane ways the European Union treats those that come seeking asylum even after the Titan leaves the headlines. This has been going on for years and it deserves to be more than a whataboutism
/aww and /gifs have joined /pics in becoming John Oliver thirst traps and /Horny is now a Christian minecraft server.
God bless you magnificent bastards
update: the current scuttlebutt is that if a sub goes nsfw reddit loses advertising revenue
shit is about to get filthy
#pray for john oliver's hole
He is not only aware, he has boosted on twitter and is supplying pictures
A fun thing about computer skills is that as you have more of them, the number of computer problems you have doesn't go down.
This is because as a beginner, you have troubles because you don't have much knowledge.
But then you learn a bunch more, and now you've got the skills to do a bunch of stuff, so you run into a lot of problems because you're doing so much stuff, and only an expert could figure them out.
But then one day you are an expert. You can reprogram everything and build new hardware! You understand all the various layers of tech!
And your problems are now legendary. You are trying things no one else has ever tried. You Google them and get zero results, or at best one forum post from 1997. You discover bugs in the silicon of obscure processors. You crash your compiler. Your software gets cited in academic papers because you accidently discovered a new mathematical proof while trying to remote control a vibrator. You can't use the wifi on your main laptop because you wrote your own uefi implementation and Intel has a bug in their firmware that they haven't fixed yet, no matter how much you email them. You post on mastodon about your technical issue and the most common replies are names of psychiatric medications. You have written your own OS but there arent many programs for it because no one else understands how they have to write apps as a small federation of coroutine-based microservices. You ask for help and get Pagliacci'd, constantly.
But this is the natural of computer skills: as you know more, your problems don't get easier, they just get weirder.
you know you've made it when you're googling problems and ending up with 0-9 results
Oh sweet heaven the truth in this. :/
From another article i read today 😭
he wasn’t even there to be a contestant he joined the crew as a CHINESE TEACHER but the directors noticed his good looks and begged him to compete. poor guy made it to the finals and if he had been one of the winners he would have been contractually forced to be in a boy band whether he wanted to or not
this is the closest any human being has ever come to actually being sold to One Direction
i’ve been obsessing over these reblog graphs for an hour now. small posts looks like cute little noodle guys or crabs. but big, famous posts? they look like little weird star maps. this picture? thats the first 400 reblogs of the colour of the sky post. can you imagine the horrors that could be unleashed if an astrology nerd got a hold of these? I love it
