Found out some other interesting shit in their too. Like that the phrase "beam me up scotty" was slang for smoking crack.
can i get one egg and sausage mcgriddle, two hot n spicy mcchickens, a mcdouble with no onions add mac sauce, a 10 piece nuggets with barbeque sauce two orders of hash browns and a basket of fries and do you guys still have that buy one get one promo with the big macs wait nah instead let me get a quarter pounder with cheese and bacon no onions and double tomato
what always bothered me about big smoke's order is like won't most of that get cold before he gets to it? I'll order 2 burgers and a medium fries and by the time I'm done, at least some of the fries aren't hot anymore

>>1025007 you know just because it's written down as one way doesn't mean the author intended it to be only one way one of the most important forms of wordplay is ambiguous pronunciation, where a pronunced word is actually two >>1025017 yeah i do too i just know rei is susceptible to following very strict interpretations of things and sometimes something can be more than just one thing
ya I don't disagree with your point, that's for sure It's one of the things that make music and movies and stuff potentially very powerful In movies it's super common and well known, but it happens sometimes in music too, though I don't have any examples offhand

I'd also suspect it's far more common in rap specifically than any other genre Just by the nature of it

He's actually from the Chicago area He was a member of our best theater troupe Steppenwolf And John Cusack actually went to the same highschool as him and was a big fan Which is why he was in Being John Malkovich When he got a hold of the screenplay before it was greenlit (it had been floating around for years) he told his agent "if this movie ever comes out and I'm not in it you're fired".

>>1025356 Columbo's a really good show, but there does admittedly come a point where the primary dynamic kinda gets stale Columbo's really calculating, and seeming coincidences are usually deliberate, but he's always underestimated by the murderer because he appears clumsy
It's a really good bit, and I think almost one of a kind, but it's also the same every episode
Really though, what makes the show actually great is that when you go back and watch it, like, a second time, the only reason you didn't pick up on the evidence that Columbo did is that you were comfortable in already knowing who did it. They don't fake it like SOME shows do, it's actually even more obvious, but they manage to still make it so the audience doesn't really pick up on it because they just show you the murder in the opening
And I think that's really clever
S C
SOMETIMES they do fake some stuff though, by using information that the audience at least weren't guaranteed to have But it's rare

it's probably not free tho lemme dig up the link https://gallery.so/membership/general
it's not free, but it's not like I actually can sell the eth I have so I do kinda assume this membership card will be meaningless, surely they're gonna have incentive to not even need one later on, or just mass produce them
Though, maybe I can sell it The people who would want one are the people with a collection of actually valuable shit, so they're gonna have money to throw around presumably
on opensea it doesn't even show up as a unique card or whatever, clicking it just puts you on the token itself's listing I mean they are all identical, but still

I thought it was gonna be more like warehouse 13 but turns out it's very different
unfortunately, I'm kind of a scaredycat, and I don't find a lot of enjoyment in being scared, either Like it's kinda stupid, but I'm like closing in on 30 and I'm still actually a bit afraid of the dark, and I'm actually outright terrified of uncovered windows at night I have my curtains closed all the time, partially because I like my privacy, but also because when it's dark, I hate windows
Anno
I don't think it's something that is dependent on your age or maturity There's plenty of older people who don't enjoy being scared or horrified And fears affect all sorts of people in different ways My mother is so scared of bridges that she finds even the sturdiest cement and steel bridge, in a part of the world where there is no weather or natural disasters which would reasonably threaten the bridge's integrity, extremely unpleasant to cross Even in a car she gets worried at times that the wind will pick the car up and blow it over the edge
I think the dark is a pretty standard fear too Arguably even partially instinctual When we were no more than ape-like creatures, the dark was full of Very Reasonable threats We didn't survive to evolution by not being scared

you can always tell people to fuck off it's always correct
it's the final episode of archive 81 and so far they've done a good job but they can always, like a lot of shows, fuck it all up in the last episode many such cases
Anno
cute abby mister spammer but I must send you to the shadow realm
well they didn't fuck it up, but it wasn't a satisfying ending either this shit where every movie and every series ends not even so much on a cliffhanger as it does on a bit where it's like "there was no point in any of this if we don't make the sequel" pisses me off so much This is 8 episodes of television that amount to fucking nothing if they don't actually make season 2
of course, I'm gonna watch season 2 when that happens well, if that actually ends the damn show, at least if people are asking when s3 is gonna come out the week after s2 airs, I'm not fucking doing it

>>1025497 possibly asking for/seeking help was probably the worst thing i ever could have done they only caused more damage
i think they have good intentions and i think a lot of people can benefit from them, but a good number of people slip through the cracks if they're not in the statistically standard demographic of patients/clients there's simply not enough time to invest in treating people's individual needs despite what the medical/social messaging is there's always going to be a statistical lens on your case so you better hope you're not a statistical outlier

I don't wanna go back again I can't be helped cause I can't describe most of it and I'm probably making most of it up anyway What I'm able to describe just gives me minor depression cause I can't be honest with anyone, I don't wanna Nobody believes me when I say I don't remember stuff everyone just says like it was only 7 years ago or something but I don't remember detail that får back They never trust me they always think I'm lying i can feel it in the way they look at me and talk to me

nothing can be significant or insignificant without a standpoint Nothing matters to the entire universe, sure, but like, nobody gives a fuck about that because the universe as a whole doesn't matter to any of us the movements of anything in a galaxy other than this one is entirely insignificant to literally every human being that will ever live, probably But we're significant to each other

Oh he was in wolf of wall street That's a good movie even though most of the audience got the message that it is actually good to be a conman which is understandable, it's literally based on the autobiography of a conman
why the fuck is there still another hour and 20 minutes left of this movie? They're already... sending a guy into the comet
Kirara 🍄 大医 ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
there's still more hamfisted commentary to make, my friend. be patient
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
gotta pack those cameos in too
S C
You know if it just ended after this scene with them sending the guy into the comet, this movie would be acceptable very, you know, hamfisted but like, still, it'd be an acceptable story and movie
I'm honestly not even sure I can say I agree with this movie's message other than the absolute most surface level aspects Though I guess only the surface level is intentional
lmao imagine actually watching the tv as they launch the thing to deal with the comet I'd be getting absolutely destroyed on drugs or I'd be driving, real fast
I'm not spending what I know to be my last moments watching the TV
I can't believe there's still a full 30 minutes left it feels like I've been watching this for 5 hours like I'm one of the humans in I have no mouth and I must scream
yeah no this is one of those movies I highly recommend never watching I ended up fast forwarding through everything from the moment the actual comet hit the planet
>>1025688 It would actually have been kind of funny if they set it up like... you know a bit earlier than they did the way they did it, the time between setup and punchline was so short, there was absolutely no surprise or anything
I think it would have been funny if they set up the "you'll be eaten by a <unknown animal>" like, I dunno, before the halfway mark, instead of like 10 minutes before the end It would have been an actual callback
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
brontorok BatChest BatChest yeah that could have been better
S C
I mean it'd still be stupid overall, but it'd at least landed as a joke Like "OH RIGHT, he did say that, over an hour ago as what we thought was just a throwaway line" but by the time he says it, they've already loaded the audience with the information about the escape ship and stuff, so it's like "obviously, that's an alien on the planet they'll go to." and then it is so it's like yeah, as we assumed

Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
hahah i forgot that happened and then everyone clapped
it's just so... thick with liberal mindrot which of course, to be expected, they're not gonna make a communist movie or something But still, it's that and also so extremely overt with it, it's difficult to enjoy It's not even wrong about most of the message, but it's attributing it to "stupidity" like a fucking child

aussie joke written by GPT3 Joke: My wife and I went on our honeymoon to Australia. Unfortunately, I had to dial the help line. "G'day this is Tim, you've reached the Aussie help line. How can we help ya?" I told him, "We were in the ocean and my wife was stung by a jellyfish on her lady parts. Her vagina is completely swollen shut. It's our honeymoon, and well....ya know." The guy on the help line replies, "Ah, bummer mate!". I say, "I hadn't thought of that! Thanks for the advice. You've saved my honeymoon!"

i agree i think so too and there's only so much words can do video platforms give you the unique opportunity to provide conceptual visualizations, but it doesn't always sync up with people's attention spans i really think VNs hold some superiority in that regard but that's a bit niche to our weeb communities
the problem with VNs is you gotta actually make an engaging story and incorporate your message into that, so if the former part isn't something you're interested in for its own sake, it's a difficult medium to use
月
>>1025742 it sucks when i'm looking for some deeper understanding and watch like 8 videos on a topic from different creators that all say the same broad things and seem to follow the same formula i get why it happens but i don't think i'm the only person who feels that way
月
>>1025745 yeah idk about as a vehicle for a message, but just as an experience VNs kinda take the cake for immersion i think doesn't really fit the educational format, but for storytelling i think it's pretty unrivalled
they're really great vehicles for a story yeah they're sometimes beaten out by regular old books, but mostly that's because it's more work to make a VN than a book So the longer something is, the less likely it is to be a VN instead of a book Unless the author wanted to make a VN specifically
月
verbal storytelling is strong too sadly i think it's a bit of a lost art these days to hear it done really well though is pretty amazing
Anno
I think VNs also come out on the far end of length too Umineko when translated, runs something like twice the length of War & Peace, which is already reknowned for being a massive tome of a book There's simply a point when you can't reasonably make a single book in a physical format, and outside of like, fantasy, and a few other niche genres, you can have a hard time selling a multi-volume piece of fiction to a publishing company
Which is probably one of the other benefits of VNs, that they can be published and put out for sale without needing to go through a publishing house Sometimes that's not a good thing, as there are concrete advantages to a publishing house and the editing that a work would need to go through to be put out But the advantages of having the final say in how you shape your work and not having it tied to a company must be nice
I suppose the mid-ground here would be publishing as a web serial or e-book, but I think successful web serials are fairly few and far between, and if you try to push a 3000-page e-book on people, they probably won't bite
Well true Umineko is one of those stories that wouldn't even work as anything other than a VN I think, it's just so particular, it kinda needs the sort of atmosphere and Culture of VNs to exist
Homestuck is also an absurdly fucking long work, even just counting what is primarily pure dialogue If it had to actually describe everything in words too, it'd be unreadable
One thing that makes me really like VNs is that characters have like, art I'm bad with names, so when a book goes like 100 pages without mentioning a character again, then suddenly they're back, I often go "who.. who is that? I'm supposed to know, but I don't" With a VN they throw the cute anime girl on screen and I'm like "Oh right, it's that girl from the early part!"

have you guys ever listened to those drama CDs that come with the animes man those things are weird
>>1025750 it's all so convoluted between publishing and marketing and all that i think if i were to write stuff, i'd simply put it on the web for free and self-promote on twitter and youtube maybe make them into audiobooks and upload to youtube, and prop up a patreon or something
at least that way i could actually get exposure and build a following nobody's going to pay just to read something i wrote when they don't even know who i am
I've never really had the motivation to seek out drama CDs I think I might've listened to a bit of one of the Steins;Gate ones that got translated and uploaded to YouTube
Recently I've been listening to the occasional dramatic fiction podcast, which while not entirely the same thing, is kind of in a similar wheelhouse
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>>1025753 yeah i listened to the ones on the FLCL ost memorable but pretty much content free
月
i remember the FLCL ones and the Ah my goddess ones holy shit AMG had so much stuff since the three main voice actresses formed a trio and made a bunch of songs very prolific, like 20 some albums including drama CDs and yeah there's no actual content to any of it, it's so weird

>>1025753 I know some authors who publish online get access to physical media markets by building interest online first That's pretty much how any popular isekai and many popular fantasy LNs/novels in Japan are made, first the author publishes it online as a web novel and then once it gets popular they get picked up by a publishing house On the English side of things, I know that's how Andy Weir published The Martian And when I was working in a bookstore a couple years back I remember seeing a youth fiction book with a sticker on it saying it was first published on some popular site for that kind of thing
I've definitely given thought to that idea in the past, but I think if given the opportunity I'd still like to get a physical release through a publishing house I just really like physical books If I could see something I wrote in physical copy in my own hands, I don't know what else would bring me that kind of satisfaction
>>1025761 i think i'd enjoy just releasing verbal storytelling on youtube chapter by chapter once a week or something or short stories it'd be fun to continually write it as i build a following but the AWFUL pitfall one would have to avoid is swaying to appease the fans and just letting the crowd totally control the direction it goes
but i feel like that would almost even be more profitable than traditional publishing maybe it's different these days but not long ago getting published was a miserable financial venture unless you're NYT bestseller, you're not really making anything close to a salary
it's really impressive on a technical level, too it's all made in blender, but until the monster shows up, it convincingly seems like they used a big-ass actual building and camera trickery or something
月
you could make some VRchat horror worlds based on that if people haven't already i wouldn't be surprised if they have
Anno
>>1025764 I'm pretty sure it's still tough goings, but once you're a one-time author, it's much easier to become a two-time author You're not likely going to be set for even more than a few months off your first publication unless you're the moonshot of a runaway success But with every good publication you put out, it's cumulative
A digital service like a YouTube series or a podcast is probably easier to get to self-sufficiency though You might take longer to get to a point where you can live comfortably (assuming identical levels of quality between the two methods), but I do think with consistent YouTube views and some kind of service like Patreon, you could probably get to surviving faster

bro VR horror is fucking terrifying you can just take a model of a person and delete the face and that's already creepy af

i laugh at horror movies on screen but the visceral presence of a person near you in VR can be absolutely terrifying maybe i just need to get my vr horror legs
月
>>1025769 it'd have to be in parallel for me it sounds totally feasible to manage and operate a weekly serial release while supporting myself normally especially if it's storytelling, since there'd be minimal video editing going into that you could add some illustrations and stuff but don't need to do anything too much
it takes fucking years to build a following on youtube that'll be self-sufficient though probably i don't know but it's what i've heard and who has YEARS

I think that's why things like Patreon or other tools such as donations and/or merch are popular though It might be really hard to get the several hundred thousand views a week you'd need to be sustainable solely on YouTube But if even a few hundred of those views are giving you like five bucks a month through Patreon, you can comp the rest of the sustainability you'd need through that

maybe their buddies came over for superbowl weekend and they're pre-gaming with madden 2022
>>1025816 Yeah could be There's a unit on my floor that regularly has a bunch of people over for rowdiness They all seem amicable and the guy renting it has even said if they're ever being disturbing to let them know Generally I can't hear them from my bedroom but if I don't have anything in my ears and I'm at my desk I can usually hear them
I don't think these hollers are from them though, this definitely sounded like a bunch of mates watching sports or something and the guy on my floor has a mixed variety of people over

they'd be hoarders they already are but with human powers it'd become simply unreasonable
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
hoarding is one of those funny tricks of the mind always good to cultivate a mindset of abundance if possible, but for some minds this seems to be impossible?
月
resourcefulness is a very primal gratification we're very task-oriented and love to toil and plan collecting natural materials and understanding them and discovering purpose for them is how we made tools and got where we are
the compulsion is there, and some people just don't have the need to meaningfully catalyze those compulsions for their survival the "holding on" to things and refusal to discard them is a separate driving force i think that tends to be amplified with loss and trauma losing loved ones especially, you just want to save everything and preserve it whether it's reasonable or not
luckily we live in an age where digital hoarding is a much more sanitary outlet for that compulsion and it's easily archived and shared with function that way too
月
it's really the key way we find patterns and build understanding of the world we live in find something special, hold on to it, try to understand what makes it special and with enough of that understanding, one can arrive at a point where they can produce things of their own that they want to exist but don't already it's a really gratifying feeling

ive never had much of an appetite for grinding i did play like some RPGs as a kid but somewhere along the line i rationalized or cottoned onto some kind of grind=bad mindset which is good and bad really, maybe i dont waste as much time on an MMO or something, but also i have less patience to br a beginner and put those hours in so as a result i dont really have any new skills beyond those i learned as an adolescent
月
is the grind really a necessary factor i think it still happens naturally
月
a lot of like mechanics and engineers had that traditional childhood fascination with mechanical devices, taking them apart to figure out how they work i assume for you it was coding/programming or something, finding those special things and taking them apart, repllicating things and eventually designing your own things for me it was probably algorithms, i was pretty bad with physical things despite my family's best efforts i'd just tune everything out and think in that mathy world of pure abstraction
so finding algorithms in things that exist always felt really special and it takes a lot of tinkering to figure out why it feels special
i think i did that with music too, but probably everybody has that
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yea i fell into programming but programmin is all about automating repetitive tasks away
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
my parents also forced me to learn music now theres a fuckin grind probably scarred me for life
月
yeah i can't think of a better way to kill that fascination than to put a kid through that my musical journey was entirely exploration just scouring endlessly through things which already exist and coming across amazing things that i would have never imagined existed and just diving into that rabbithole until i've satisfied myself with whatever current fascination i had
月
i wish we embraced learning that way it seems so natural and curious instead of whatever this politicized crap public school is
at least let kids learn their family trade and carry on the tradition or something

D&D rocked tonight was awesome tonight We had a huge battle against 108 enemies. 90 of which were represented by starbursts and you got to eat the starbusts representing the enemies you killed.

gotta love HN sometimes a guy finds a bug in a Layer 2 on top of Ethereum and they pay him $2,000,042 as bug bounty then you get genius black hat commenter wondering why he didnt just exploit the funds and launder the money https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30321712
I mean It's a valid question, though two fucking million is still a LOTTA money
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
some thoughtful replies by the bug finder
>Yeah... and as the person in question who found and exploited this particular bug ;P, I can definitely state that I would not feel comfortable betting the rest of my life on my ability to safely launder a giant pile of crypto back through to fiat (and then, further, keep that secret for the rest of my life, which shouldn't be downplayed).
>I am much happier being able to get a bunch of clean money and then be able to give talks on the subject at conferences and get a lot of "street cred" in the tech community for my effort than spending the rest of my life wondering if there's someone from a real-world mob out there trying to hunt me down to recover the $100M I "owe them".
also a fair concern, though he wouldn't need to worry about that if he never tells anyone he did it the coins just disappear into the network, he walks away with a lotta money but again, 2 fucking million is a LOTTA money, and he gets bragging rights
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
just never tell anyone about the coolest thing you ever did your whole life 4head and then evade the feds like that idiot married couple forever
yeah it's an astonishing lump sum the taxes on it have gotta be insane, too, tho goddamn
when the bounty is that high, the potential of just exploiting the bug instead is entirely hypothetical, you'd be insane to risk it

it takes a very specific type of black hat hacker probably with a seething hatred of the IRS to spring for that option incredibly clever in some ways and also awfully unwise
it would be unprecedentedly hilarious to just send all of it to a burn account though it'd be possible to prosecute you, but the money could never be recovered

jokaire option
people were discussing, how do you launder 3 billion dollars in BTC? one option is to just send it everywhere scoop up millions here and there the hero of the people's option
>>1025909 I think it's the kind of thing where you'd have to disperse it around, preferably to many many accounts that already have a lot of BTC so it can't be locked out of swap exchanges without raising an enormous stink, and then take the amount you yourself go in your account and slowly, over time, swap it for something like monero you'd never want it tied to your name directly, that's for sure
yeah taint everyone's wallets so that nothing's tainted then just say you got lucky
bitcoin has a wallet model dissimilar to etherum actually though, bitcoins are actually non fungible when you send eth to someone it just increments their account balance (funged) but bitcoin keeps every tx output separate for some reason
oh right, there is actually such a concept as "clean coins" in bitcoin I dunno how it works, but I do know you can, technically, track individual coins if you want to
another poster was banned for this take >You could have been insanely rich but instead you chose 15 minutes of clout gone in the blink of an eye and barely enough money to buy a 1 bedroom meth shack in Austin.

my boss has all his ducks in a row for starting the second business ya boy's gonna be busy as fuck in 2022 and then at some point the dollars will start raining in if all goes to plan unless our expectations gotta start reigning in and i become a broke man
i don't like thinking about the possible bad outcomes though at the very least i'll be _mostly_ shielded from them and my boss will be taking on the brunt of it
but i guess the other side of that coin is that he'll be making mad mad dosh and i'll be very gratefully advancing from lower-middle to middle-class

S C
4 he had it stripped for parts by jawa not too long ago, and now he just left it in the middle of nowhere again and fucked off to some remote village the jawas are gonna get to it again
a lot of time people don't want to fly their ships to villages and starports bc it'll result in your ship being scanned and then you can be tracked easily especially the razor crest
S C
yeah but this village hired him for like, incognito lodging
S C
they don't even have anything that could possibly scan anything, their most advanced tech is like, a droid that carries baskets of fish for them
Even a droid like that can be used to scan a ship. In Star Wars, you're not really going to find a village that can't scan a ship even in the poorest planets in the Outer Rim. Because everywhere you go in Star Wars, people are poor and downtrodden and looking for anything that can make them money.
oh, someone just bought like 28 million of it >>1026015 my spend on ONG is like 10 dollars, even with this big jump I can get 20 bucks at most, and I'd have to transfer it back to binance and login and stuff I mean it's not literally nothing, but still
it strangely seems to be actually holding I wonder what they're gonna do with that ONG that's like, a LOT of money to just dump into a gas token >>1026019 Well ONT is what I have a non-trivial amount in, and that's both staked and unaffected by this jump the staking pays out in ONG though I get like half an ONG per 2 weeks or some shit, it's not a whole ton, but I figure if I just have my eggs in many baskets, it doesn't matter too much that each one individually isn't paying out a boon from heaven
It's really strange for the gas to deviate this heavily from the regular token though it's worth like 150% more than the regular token atm, though again it seems to have been some huge spend all at once if I had the financials, I'd maybe grab some more ONT in case that follows right about now but I don't
yeah it's honestly probably just a pump'n'dump happening to target ONG right now I wish they'd target shib some time so I could dip out with a big gain

I don't understand your confusion. The lekku should fit through the neck hole.

she'd have to put the two hornline tentacles through a hole the size of her neck, at once, and they're at opposite sides of her head as it is, there's no way that works, it's leather-like, no way it stretches that much
Lekku are prehensile. They could just put one in at a time like putting on a tight fitted shirt or something. Twi'leks have been wearing headgear like that since they were created
