I’m out of the loop on Reddit, but I was beyond a power user on there two years ago. Back then, if every human user on the site stopped using the site, the admins would not have noticed any difference because nearly every post was bot networks reposting old top posts and filling the comments with the exact comments from the last time it got upvoted.

Garbage website. I miss it for what it was capable of for a while there.

Trying to learn how to use Natron felt impossible. It’s a very different approach to what it does and I could not even start to figure it out.

When the power goes out and that fan stops, it’s the quietest thing you’ve ever imagined. It shouldn’t even be possible. I hate it.

The Karen I grew up around nails the “karen” archetype so perfectly that when people started using the name like that, I immediately understood what they were referring to. It was uncanny.

These years later, even my boomer family all know the reference and agree, regularly point it out to our Karen.

Wow, I remembering having these cards/book when I was a kid. I wonder what ever happened to them.

I got to make regular jokes about “being the new guy” and subtly shoot shade at the management team any chance I get.

I was in a very, very rough spot. Was mostly worth taking the offer. It sure beat wasting 13 years of obscure product knowledge at some new job for the less pay others were offering.

Rehired with all my previous tenure benefits with the added raise they would have given me had I been around when they gave out raises.

I was really confident. Then I lost a job to AI. Then they hired me back a few months later after realizing that replacing half the support team with an AI was not working out.

Professors are burned and jaded so much by students taking advantage of their test taking policies that they fail to see when there should absolutely be an exception. Visible medical emergencies are certainly one of them. They should not only not be professors, they should be fired or arrested for endangering you. It’s crazy that sort of thing can just happen, but it’s absolutely realistic having been through it.

Big Money Salvia on Internet Comment Etiquette makes full on short films for his ad reads. They are pretty great.

I recently learned this is called the Grocer’s Apostrophe.

The clutch is a third pedal to the left of the brake which lets you disengage the engine and transmission so you can change the gear then let the pedal out, engaging the new gear.

With a clutch, the brake pedal is usually really narrow. So when you get into an automatic instincts will tell you to press the clutch and change gears but that pedal doesn’t exist and the wide brake pedal is there instead. Instead of changing gears, you slam the brake.

References to Gayle will always make me happy.

They just want more people being pushed to their NFT marketplace while getting free development. It’s astounding they are getting so much good press.

I stopped paying any attention to them when they started talking about NFTs. This is cool news.

How convenient; you won’t be learning science! You’ll be learning history!

I feel like this should be required watching for anyone who wants to better understand colliders and the politics around them. BobbyBroccoli made this series on the development of some of them.

The HD-DVD key was 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0. Crazy slang all around. Kids are wild.

It wasn’t even meant to be like that. I just thought it would be funny to choose the name Dangle-balls before knowing if the child would even have balls.
