How does searching discord work? I was under the impression that entire chat logs weren’t permanent and that older exchanges would be routinely deleted.

I’m not sure but I think that comment might be clever satire

I don’t disagree with your overall point, but statistics like that are almost always heavily skewed because of high infant mortality rates

What do you mean by flashbangs?

Would love to know what kind of cool personal projects you’ve seen! I’m trying to get my first job in web dev and feel like i have a hard time coming up with stuff to do for my portfolio.

I’m not sure how you think this video is related to the comment I replied to ?

Also Starship Troopers

couldn’t pronounce “graphics”

That’s not how acronym pronunciation works though. We don’t pronounce them based on the words they stand for, otherwise we would pronounce NASA, SCUBA, LASER, etc. differently. Both pronunciations have valid arguments so why can’t we just accept both and stop being weird about it.

The sense of obligation towards your coworkers is something companies absolutely abuse and exploit. I’m not saying don’t have empathy for your fellow human, but people aren’t typically incentivized to use best possible solutions if they take more work outside of this obligation so you have to be careful to not let yourself be exploited because of it.

Ohhhh for some reason my mind went to him trying to tutor other dudes to help them with women. Was very confused.

I’ll be your friend

I know a lot of people won’t believe it happens, because the simpler and more mundane explanation (which is usually the true one) is that it isn’t necessary because of all the data that we know is being collected like browsing habits, searches, etc but my partner has a few times tried to test this as a party trick. Normally her ads are for like kitcschy knick-knacks or like funky flower pots but one time we were hanging with friends talking about this discussion and we decided to all repeat out loud “lab grown diamond engagement rings” for about 15 min. Not 1 hour later she had an Instagram ad that said word for word “lab grown diamond engagement rings.” I know it’s anecdotal and isn’t proof but we’ve done this a few times and it’s seemed to work about half the time; each time we get an ad that’s both hyper specific to what we’re taking about and also not something close to anything we’ve been advertised before.

This is great, did you write it or was it pulled from an actual Rimworld piece?

For me its mostly the legs/heads. I dont fuck with heads on anything and legs need to be way bigger for me to be interested. I’d try one of those fly/mosquito burgers tho.

There is literally no way to be upfront about communicating ‘I have no interest in what you are saying and wish you would stop talking’ without coming off like an asshole and/or hurting their feelings most of the time.

I disagree; to me it sounds like they’re talking about crimes of passion like gunning down a spouse etc. These are the majority of gun homicides but you don’t hear about them much because one or two people killed isn’t ‘newsworthy’ on it’s own anymore. True mass shootings are infrequent comparatively but because of that and by their nature they’re what we hear about. True we shouldn’t be regulating based on relatively infrequent tragedies but they can draw attention to firearm homicides as a whole which are a serious issue and not always related to mental health issues in the same way.

Mass shootings account for only 0.1% of firearm homicides.

He’s making a joke, because if you look at /all communities it can be like half posts from various Linux communities at times

Yeah and that’s the risk you’re supposed to take on when you invest in property to rent. The things you mentioned went up max 8% in my area but the rent increase was closer to double that. It’s greed, plain and simple. Landlords raise rent because they can.
