  • You think there is only one half person. Really, there's a lot more than that. It's odd.

  • Tbf turning into a deer would be an improvement.

    I'd have to be a suburban deer...don't want to live on some hunting grounds. Maybe steal a dayglow vest for safety...that way the hunters think I'm one of them and don't try to shoot me.

  • Send them to med school so they can get a job at Sacred Heart.

  • Does California have icy bridges?

  • And not a single Jesus or Virgin Mary.

  • The EU is gonna have to step in to keep websites from storing cookies in the toaster.

  • I feel your pain.

  • But I figure maybe he had a rough childhood. I hope he's doing better these days, because he was doing better last time I saw him.

    This...this is it right here.

    My elementary school bully messaged me out of the blue on Facebook a couple years ago...apologizing for being such an asshole and explaining that he had a tough childhood and homelife then. He sincerely seemed sorry. His facebook at least painted the picture of someone with a happy young family who was really trying to break the cycle.

    I...honestly didn't remember him even being one of the worst bullies. But I certainly appreciated him coming back, nearly 30 years later. That was really big of him.

    And it made me realize that kids who are bullies aren't bad people. They are products of their environment. They treat others how they expect to be treated. It's reflective of parts of their life that you have no visibility to, and as another kid may not even understand. They want to be happy but don't know how...all they've learned is how to make other people unhappy, and that has to make-do.

    That's a tough thing for some adults to comprehend and accept, let alone kids who are targeted by bullies.

  • Yeah but plants have servants that carry their jizz to their mate. Basically, Elon Musk.

  • When you're a star they let you.

  • And what usual happens when you start mixing random shit together?

    Sewage.

  • I keep a skinny rock in my pocket for making shitposts on the internet.

  • humans are some of the most graceful and agile animals alive

    I never thought about it before...but I've never seen a chimpanzee figureskate or perform ballet.

  • The number of people I see cutting off a semi on a downhill stretch of highway or an icy bridge is too damn high. That's what I get for living so close to Rhode Island.

  • That's the thing, you shouldn't have to.

    But it could be used that way. The problem is, the types of certificates that I'm suggesting would offer no privacy at all, as they would have your real name associated with them, and they'd be issued by the government...essentially, the exact same idea as DoD "CAC" cards.

    If it's the type of business that you want to supply with that info, that's one thing. But it would eventually, be compulsory, and that's not really what anybody wants.

    There could be a happy medium, where you have to get validated in-person that you are 18+ by a mutually trusted agency, and get an 18+ "badge", through some sort of trusted medium.

    Plenty of legitimate, innocent, reasons to be getting an 18+ badge..and technically no real reason to record a persons information, except for anti-fraud measures.

    I doubt there would be much more of a black market for that than there is already existing for getting nicotine and alcohol to kids. Shady people gonna shade. And of course, parents can slip one under their (teenage) kids pillow if they think they can be responsible with it.

    Either way has a dystopian end...but that doesn't dismiss the value of having an "official" digital identity for "official" purposes (for whatever is deemed "official" by the holder).

  • It was, but it was first discovered by this guy first.

    Relativity is fucking strange.

  • I really do feel that there should be an official means to verify your identity online. And it 100% should not be this shady bullshit we are being sold of uploading a video of your face and drivers license. Government-issued cryptographic identifies are about as good as you can get for something thats universally trusted (enough) to issue and validate IDs. That's...kind of their thing.

    But...it needs to be reserved for when you need to do "official" stuff, like accessing your health records, banks, interacting with the government, signing forms as legally required, signing emails (at senders discretion), etc.

    Needing to provide your ID to shitpost on reddit or search yandex for femboy dwarves is a bridge too far.

  • Download speed is highly relative to latency (bandwidth/delay product). If you have global users and you actually want them to download dozens (if not more) of gigs of data, then yea...they should be distributed.

    Fuck for as much hate as cloudflare and akamai (and Amazon and Google and all the others too, but CDN is their bread and butter) get, the internet could not be nearly as fast and efficient if not for CDNs and their massively scalable infrastructure.

    Unless you think we should all go back to hosting websites off of an old Pentium in the garage. Which...okay yeah we should do that too, but it's not at all functional for game distribution.
