In an effort to continue good habits, I have purchased only food I gotta like, cook at a basic level to eat, today No pizzas or frozen fishgratin, just meat and stuff
I mean, one of the things I bought was frozen burgers, which I just fry up and add an egg and some beans, but that's still like, cooking, sorta Though, mostly good for building the habit
I used to really like making food, but that was when I lived with my dad, so it wasn't just for the sake of eating
good job I did something I wouldn't have in the past went to a test i didn't feel like I'd pass cause I really skipped on prepping to it but i prolly passed it anyhow

huh I'd like to go back to school but I need other stuff to be in order first, and even then I dunno if I will I'm 30 soon, it feels like it's too late to actually start my life... like, now
>>995108 is not really starting life, but just getting a booster anyhow education is never bad and no need to be part of the university worshipping cult me for example, nurse
my tip if you do end up seriously considering: check where there are a lot of shortages of employees and get an education in that
lotsa jobs that need work force nowadays, cause people just headed for the "high jobs" and now the former "low jobs" pay a lot more, cause it is buyers market see truckers in almost everywhere atm
slayers are fun toss them together with the slayer king and they just refuse to die which is kinda funny, since slayers are dorfs who want to die in battle
hm, do I go back to the store for potatoes, or do I just use rice rice is alright, I like rice, but it's also like, a bit lacking in terms of food value I think?
>>995120 I mean it's not so much a dish as just coating pork tenderloin in spices and frying it I might make a pepper sauce to go with it, too, but not if I just go with rice
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
potato might be nice plain white rice is a bit boring
Oh actually I guess I could get some garlic and fry that alongside the meat for some extra taste, maybe well, going with potatoes in any case, I just think there's more food in that

>>995154 If they didn't, they probably couldn't Dune is a bit of a risky story to make into a "Hollywood safe" property to begin with, let alone an epic two-parter that'll likely square out at 5+ hours of screentime Combined with the previous commercial non-success of it as a movie and the fact that Villeneuve's movies do tend to be hit or miss when it comes to the box office, it was very reasonable to expect Dune part one would flatline
Now I think they also marketed this Dune hard and it really paid off, but I can understand why they might've doubted sufficient economic success to merit investing from the get-go in two long-ass movies
>>995144 it was just a small tour, there is a nice route you can take with about 50km and it doesn't take too long, is exhausting enough but not too tough, just an ideal afternoon pastime kind of tour

>>995161 More than just niche, Dune is also just a weird book Pretty much everyone takes a psychotropic drug which lets them hallucinate the future, the main villain enjoys either sucking or being sucked by little boys (I can't remember which, and blissfully absent either way in the movie), there's human servants who act as biological calculators because any kind of computing device is illegal in their galaxy, but they still somehow have interstellar spaceflight? But there's also literal space witches? Plus there's the complex ecological mystery of Arrakis which I'm a bit nervous for how they'll handle in the second part because of Certain Reasons Oh yeah and also orgies. Forgot about the drug-accentuated orgies.
Dune is a weird book. Hella fun read though

>>995162 sounds like they should turn it into a HBO show after part 2
Anno
>>995164 Nah, after they finish adapting Dune, Dune Messiah, the second book, is much shorter and weirdness-wise considerably more tame The third book would honestly be hard to
Anno
adapt into either a show or movie because a lot of it
Anno
involves what are biologically young children with minds eons old And after that the fourth book is almost entirely a giant sentiment sandworm monologue-ing to his servants as some people plot to kill him, so how the fuck do you turn that into, well, anything
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
you would need to make some changes for the format and to get rid of the kids yea
Anno
Also HBO is already developing a spin-off series based on a Dune universe book exploring the history of the Bene Gesserit, the "space witches" which Paul's mother was raised and trained by Although the book it's based off was written by Frank Herbert's son, who doesn't have the best track record of writing good novels

i was doing parachute landing falls all day yesterday and now my nexk hurts to hold up
oh nice right before my birthday so i don't have to live to be another year old
Anno
no but srsly it doesn't look as bad as i heard i'll probably check it out i'm a little disappointed that there looks like a lot of scenes that were already animated though i had heard something about this supposedly telling more stories, not the same ones but if it's just a live-action version of the same episodes then like, why? but maybe it's just the trailer trying to evoke nostalgia
Anno
the two complaints i had heard the most were about spike and faye though but nothing really seems too off to me that "what the actual fuck" line got a bunch of flak but it doesn't sound like something a spike spiegel from 2021 would say wait i messed up it doesn't sound like something he wouldn't say the "actual" being the only real difference from what i'd expect and after two decades of linguistic differences it doesn't seem off to me assuming that the show isn't going to be chronistically whack about that kind of stuff
Rei@earth
Spike's hair looks wrong. At least they got the right type of corgi.
Rei@earth
I dont plan on watching the trailer or the series though. Maybe if its worse than I expected I'll watch it with /a/ or something. Im planning on watching the anime with my dad next week.
i believe "chronistically whack" is more something i used to describe when shows mix anachronisms with things that should for other reasons make sense anachronisms wouldn't have fully covered the situation i would be worried about

>>995287 how do you like your hot dogs i like just deli mustard, mayo, and pickles but i'll also have one with pickled jalapenos and salsa like fresh tomato salsa
Rei@earth
>>995301 plain also I only est kosher hotdogs *eat oh I also like those miniature corndogs but the no ketchup on hotdogs is a chicago tradition that I also perpetuate
Anno
well i mean "hot dog" to me refers to pretty much any meat tube in a bun whether you're eating bar-s franks or kosher dogs from the butcher down the street, you're probably putting the same toppings i imagine but i typically actually only really eat kielbasa or brats like that
Rei@earth
>>995303 not actually a big fan of buns generally dont eat my burgers in buns either unless its a particularly good bun
>>995302 wait you mean chicagoans are proud of not putting ketchup on their hotdogs or something is that like people who don't eat fecal matter as a point of pride thinking they're better than everyone or something or like musicians who don't listen to the barney soundtrack thinking they're better than the rest "yeah i don't even put ketchup on my hotdogs, you uncultured filth" lmao do people even put ketchup on hot dogs that often? i feel like barbeque sauce and pickles are the only things i see people doing here
Rei@earth
>>995306 restaraunts here generally dont put ketchup on hotdogs and make fun of people who ask for it incredibly enough there are tons of people who want ketchup on their hotdogs also because of the toppings on the "traditional chicago hotdog" adding ketchup is supposed to ruin the flavor because it already has sweet relish on it
Anno
at the same time i also don't see anything wrong if someone does i mean i don't like ketchup on my sausage, but not because it's inherently evil i just would rather not drown out the flavor of the pickles and the meat but like if someone is into ketchup then like word, that's alright i like things sometimes too, as a human
Rei@earth
its really just a big meme to tease people for it here but ketchup on hotdogs is actually pretty popular in certain regions of the US

Man the Muv Luv adaptation is turning out pretty disappointing They're really rushing through a huge amount, this really should have been more than one season
s c
Is this how everyone going "Read the VNs" feels, I wonder? Like this is definitely Alternative, but it's like watching the wikipedia article animated
Anno
VNs are generally one of the hardest mediums to get good anime adaptations, because they can be really dense, or incorporate branching paths, or generally are too much text to turn into anime (a lot of mystery novels suffer this as well)
True I still think they'd be able to do this really well if they just had a season of Unlimited first, though Unlimited is significantly shorter, or at least shorter in the sense that there's more stuff you definitely can skip, and well, it definitely is a lot shorter too And just going through it would make skipping stuff in Alternative less significant and problematic
s c
I guess for the most part they're just trying to get to the BETA part of the story though I just think rushing it like this is detrimental to that, it ends up happening too soon

the gotg game is unironically fun

Cool I probably won't get it anytime soon since I barely have the time to play the games I actively want to play but I'll definitely put it on the list And keep my eye out for sales
I kinda wanna read another VN, but I dunno what I'm just sorta in that mood lately, I think
I wanna like, "play a game", something that's active, but I don't wanna make decisions or anything, I just wanna like, do something passive, but actively But a lot of VNs just don't appeal to me at first glance, at least
besides I wanna like, feel something when I invest a lot of time into reading something umineko's good and all but I've just not been in the right mood for that for a long time now
I only had $10 in that bullshit cause I had that leftover on binance after putting everything into solana, but it's already made like, actual money this whole fucking thing is such bullshit lmao
I'm sure investing in crypto bullshit makes me irredeemable, morally speaking, but then again I don't believe in an afterlife anyway Planet's dying anyway, I wanna have financial security until we all burn to a crisp
i did and my phone now has the messages app keep basically popping back into existence not a big deal face front BUT it does occasionally, but on say when playing video from firefox 100% of time when doing its prolly "checking for messages" prompt, exit fullscreen mode
just a heads up, since it started occuring immediately after I updated so must be that alternatively it is because I have not made a samsung account and never will but nonetheless, it shouldn't be occuring and it did annoy me just now as I was trying to watch avid on ff
Oh there's no way it stays this high, but I can't be fucked to sell off and buy again when I only put in $10 to begin with >>995494 I've already made $40-50 on a $10 investment I did because I didn't wanna take it out lmao, I'm just gonna leave it in and in a year it might be an actual real amount

converting it to another currency is the issue SHIB will start crashing the instant those tokens move
with shib you gotta remember to divide it by 2 cause half of them are already burned off to vitalix or whatever and will never again see the light of day
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
that includes the burned tokens i think they also have fully diluted market cap anyway, these shitcoins inevitably get rugged unless they have a real use case
shib surprisingly can't really get rugged too well, not enough in any one entity's hands unless that 50% account is actually still in someone's hands, in which case rip my $10 that and shib is actually like, doing stuff, as much as any crypto anyway
>>995508 I mean, I guess maybe I think it's gonna stay pretty stable though, at the least
but I wouldn't put large amounts in it, just a bit for when\if it goes fucking insane, which it might
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
bruh that billionaire account alone could rug the whole currency
Kind of has the problem of actually trying to liquidate that though lmao You can't put that much into a market wallet without crashing the price before you even finish the transger
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
yup you can't sell anywhere close to that amount cuz there is not enough buyers to hold the price up at all shit's gonna become the size of a small country's economy and then implode in five microseconds
if you sell it for other coins though, you can probably liquidate it

only if there are buyers! it doesn't matter the currency pair you either exchange for another shitcoin and have the same problem or exchange for something real and immediately destroy the value

thats what im doin too except for with cryptos that i expect to be around in 10 years heh
I mean, other than the ETH you gave me, 100% of my holdings is (at time of purchase) $10 of shib and Solana And I think Solana's gonna stick it out Shit I think it's gonna go big
all of crypto's fucking stupid, but SOL seems to already do what ETH2.0 promises it will do well, it doesn't have currency burn, so I'm gonna get some more ETH too, but still

>>>/@0xzeze/1451233401432854529 ok heres a shitcoin with an actual app maybe ill ape in a little here >>995521 everyone wants to be ETH no one has gotten close yet i do hold a lil SOL as a hedge tho yea
s c
I've got like 6.34 SOL and it goes up every 2 days cause staking owns
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
nice i should try writing something on Solana they've got some weird but cool tech i think the currency itself won't scale tho too many TXes no one can afford to run a validator it's probably still super centralized
it's not bad considering I started out only putting like $300-400 into this bullshit in the first place, and I lost some of it before I just turned it all into solana just for the staking
it's got better interest than any savings account you can get in this garbage country, so
how many sols do you need to run one of those fuckers anyway?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
>There is no strict minimum amount of SOL required to run a validator on Solana.
However in order to participate in consensus, a vote account is required which has a rent-exempt reserve of 0.02685864 SOL. Voting also requires sending a vote transaction for each block the validator agrees with, which can cost up to 1.1 SOL per day.
wait you pay per vote? how the fuck can this even be profitable?
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i can only assume you earn more than you pay in TXes idk maybe that's where the minimum SOL requirement really exists no idea but i feel like this system is gonna keel over and die at some point unless they have some radical scaling solutions
it definitely seems kinda spooky I guess I'll pull out of SOL at some point and just get ETH instead if things get spicy
Anno
my buddy pulled out of SOL when it hit like 180 a couple months ago, and left his initial investment in and then pulled out completely again now >>995534 it was also a couple months ago
but i agree with his decision, i think the most sensible future crypto is probably ETH but i probably wouldn't want a lot of my money tied up in crypto in general i know that we should probably start worrying about some type of recession or depression in the next decade and there's not exactly an easy way to know if crypto will spike when that happens, or hit the floor ironically, the more legitimate crypto becomes as a currency, the more likely people will try to liquidate in the case of economic collapse which is not good for the price
i don't think BTC can really hit a floor anymore unless the entire internet went down even if it went down to $1000/BTC a whole big whack of kids who have been growing up hearing about bitcoin are gonna be like "now's my chance to own a whole bitcoin"
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
or maybe it dies and gets replaced by eth or some other newcomer who knows!!!
s c
I mean surely at some time BTC has to fucking die because it literally doesn't do anything and lives exclusively on being digital gold without the utility
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
idk it's still the OG, the name everyone knows, with the fixed supply and the utility of being transferrable anywhere unlike gold which is a bitch to hold
I dunno, I don't see BTC holding on through the avalanche of cryptos with actual utility, even if 99.99999% of that utility is internal speculation bullshit

>>995640 pokimane is a partial owner of RTS, who alongside Sony is getting involved in some fighting game events and evo-related stuff she also made the above tweet, not directly in response to but tangentially in regards to the Maximillian video about MvC2 being in "jail"
i'd have to watch the video to know exactly, but i believe it has to do with there not being a legal way to purchase and play the game online legally i'm also speculating that maybe the publishers is being whack about it or something people have been talking about and renewing interest in a possible modernized release that runs on win10 and has netplay (pref rollback) so that there can be tournaments again
it's not the easiest thing to do to convince companies to do stuff like this but with a name as big as pokimane thrown in the mix, it's looking optimistic so in a sense we live in the timeline where pokimane is saving mvc2 or at least i like saying it because it's funny
Rei@earth
>>995646 i'd love a modern rerelease but that probably wont happen because of Disney also, really who cares that you van't play it online legally ah well actually if you physically own a copy and rip the rom yourself and your opponent does too then i guess thats legal it would be nice to get a remaster though MvC isnt the same without sprites

i got my pixel 5a last weekend been liking it so far
Anno
The Xa Pixel models are great You get pretty much all the quality of the flagship phones while saving like 200-300 dollars I might go for the next release of Xa phones because I'm really not happy with the replacement display I needed to get after I broke my original
Anno
through Google Fi i was able to get a 5a for 9/month + 6/month for device protection (which i always get anyways) so 15/mo but it's for 2 years, so i'll probably wait until the 7a before upgrading if i even need to i'm curious about the new processor in the 6, but i've heard mixed reviews on the 6 so far not like some good some bad but like a lot of really good and a lot of bad this is probably the most buzz a pixel has made since the 1 or 2
>>995768 Something I've noticed from the Pixel phones is if there's some blistering issue with the flagship model, they usually fix it by the time the Xa phone comes around So I might get the 6a XL or whatever they're calling it at this point
Anno
yeah i mean i heard the 3 wasn't amazing but my 3a was a wonderful phone
Anno
things that interested me the most about the 6 probably won't be in the 6a though namely, 120 hz and the better camera in the 6 Pro
Anno
120 hz i n a phone is kinda whack tho like my monitor isn't even 120 hz checking my email at almost double the rate of my pc monitor is kinda funny
Anno
Honestly I think I'd rather stick with the current refresh rate of phones to keep battery use lower My big draws to phones are a long battery life, a nice big screen, and, well, that it works as a smartphone A nice processor is good because I do like playing some mobage on my phone but it's not like I need some crazy processor for that

well fuck yes brother that's more than i could ever say for myself hope it doesn't sound weird, but hearing that makes me feel some kind of uplifting feeling

there should be a way to search for analogous structures between fields disregarding the need for an archive to search
月
'should be' as in must provably exist, not as in "someone should make one"
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
everything is searchable if only we had the right index
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
index my BRAIN
月
yeah but what about a natural index, not a constructed one it'd be like informatic archaeology
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
idk what the difference is
月
a very loose analogy but if you had multiple sets of code architecture or programs or something how would you go about searching for duplicate high-level structures within them it's not like you can just ctrl+f a whole system
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
i mean the difference between a natural or constructed index
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
anyway searching for structural closeness is pretty difficult yea like perceptual image hashing its pretty hard to come up with something that doesnt have huge blind spots
月
this isn't really important, just a late-night ponderance it seems challenging but fun
Samu ／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
our brains do it by the same mechanism that we find analogies maybe idk turning structure into visualizations, breaking those down via neural nets into feature vectors, and then looking for nearby vectors could be one way

ive been struggling with my ADHD a lot lots of forms that ive been putting off filing hrrrrgh
Anno
I've been trying to get my address changed in the CRA so I can get my taxes filed but between being easily distracted and them making it really dumb it just doesn't happen Twice I've tried to log in and the service has just been down And then I tried earlier tonight and apparently they have hours of service? Which are not mentioned anywhere except after you try to log in and when you follow the link to read up on them they're stored on a webpage that doesn't even list them anymore since all the stuff in that domain got moved to a new one in 2017?? And provides you with no new direction link???

>>995800 heuristics in the brain is a good example of the kind of structures one might want to search for and it's not like we have a backend to the brain to see how it's indexed so it'd have to be by considerate probing
i think if you probed the natural world deeply you'd see a lot of the same high-level structures emerging from all sorts of different assemblies it'd be nice to have a searchable archive of something like that
月
a language for expressing system-level concepts is desperately needed while we're at it
>>995819 Because the Northern European languages use J as a soft consonant, rather than the hard consonant it is in Romantic languages The hard "jeh" and similar phonetics are conveyed with a G more
Maybe you should invest in one of those robotic fleshlights

>>995861 no idea its from years of extra terrible typing posture might see a doctor about it again ive recently changed the way I hold my phone because I found out that that was aggravating it the wrist injuries were actually part of the reason I started my break from uni
>>995872 my dad has a friend who grew up in the part of the city wear John Wayne Gacy lived and his dad took him and his brother to go watch the police dig up his yard apparently hundreds of people went to go watch
Did I mention that whenever I download a file in chrome on my phone it crashes within a few seconds. which has helped a lot with reducing the amount of crap I fill up my phome with.

Just wait for the movie nerds I think they've given enough of a tease to us at this point People complain about trailers basically being the entire movie at this point but then complain when they don't get the entire movie in trailers
is it addiction if you're not all that picky about what exactly you're putting into your system, or what is that? Cause I'm pretty sure I've got like Some sort of problem, going on
I dunno how apparent it is, but I'm rarely actually sober, and I kinda abuse my ritalin regularly But it's not like I need anything in particular to feel OK, I just fucking despise being outright sober
Anno
yeah i don't know man i can't really relate and i'm not really good at advice for these kinds of things
uhhh it wasn't like that but aight im out then i guess
closer to pity probably ending sentences with the word man is more like a colloquialism or dialect thing like i said "i don't know man" to my mother literally earlier today so getting a response like that tells me you're obviously not in a state of mind where i feel like interacting with you
I know it's nomral I do it too I just type way faster than I think right now cause I've got like shit, I dunno, 100mg of ritalin going through my blood, as well as alcohol and nicotine
I'm genuinely fucking zooted right now, I don't mean much by anything I say like that
With addiction, what you're generally addicted to is the dopamine you're getting from the drug. The reason why some people have specific drugs of choice is because people metabolize drugs differently and therefore different drugs have differing levels or reward they give you. People who metabolize things generally the same will often just swap between whatever is available and use whatever they have access to.
well ritalin doesn't so much GIVE me ritalin as stop me from burning it all off immediately
but still
Though really the only negative aspect of abusing this stuff is I can get paranoid if I overdo it, and I get a bit overly aggressive Oh and sooner or later I'll get the distinct feeling I'm a different person than whoever is piloting this body, but that's a few months out still
Dopamine is produced when the brain thinks something is rewarding, so ritalin is causing dopamine rushes in addition to its intended effect. For addicts, the brain considers certain substances to be ridiculously rewarding. For me, my brain will probably never respond as strongly to anything as it does to alcohol or percs or lean.
..so what? I'm just fucked? I can't BE SOBER, man I don't know how to properly get it across, but I hate being sober It's the worst fucking thing I know I don't care what the fuck I'm putting into the blood flow, but there has to be something or I feel fucking awful
I mean, that's how most addicts feel. That's how I felt when I was in active addiction. So no, you're not fucked, but eventually you'll reach a point where the drugs make you feel worse than they make you feel better, or you'll die.
I consider just taking my pills as prescribed to be *not sober*, but I fucking need it to not go up the wall
but now and then I fucking crack and I do like now where I've crushed up and snorted up ritalin like a fucking junkie I'm gonna be fucked up tomorrow, but right now I'm feeling pretty good
Basically, the brain gets hijacked and becomes oriented towards survival, but because of the way the brain's reward system is broken, it believes that survival means more drug. So all you care about is drug because your brain thinks it needs it to survive. Like air.
>>996198 i mean, i'm not gonna go there cause it always kills the mood but like I mean.. I don't think I'd be here anymore if I'd been sober for the last 2 years
Again, probably most addicts would say the same thing! And again, if I hadn't used when I did, I wouldn't be here right now. But that doesn't make using healthy. It's just easy, that's all.
good morning fellow doushioers >>996205 ritalin is hard some hard sh1t, I can't imagine having a ritalin habit an ADHD person gave me one of his prescribed pills and I had a very odd experience, the thing I remember most is how it messed with my perception of time time just doesn't pass on ritalin probably it's not that hard when your body downregulates whatever it needs to downregulate once you use it regularly
this is a real email from a recruiter well "HRT" are the initials of the company i don't have ANY idea why they used the word "mandate" tho just cuz its a zeitgeist word? do they even know what that means? is this some kind of jedi mind trick?
do you reckon there are dudes out there who can blow a load form like waist height and catch it in their mouths as like a party trick?

I wonder if my boss would give me as much shit as he does for me being late if he knew how much of those inaccurately long Uber trips promoting the store I mean obviously not, and he hasn't really said anything about it for a while now anyway
Question, does copper/etc somewhat valuable metal things get just stolen in your country say copper decorative railings of a building or like just last night, the copper bells of a church
S C
Not to my knowledge, but I'm sure it happens on occasion
>>996241 hmm but that is more normal I suppose since it is in kinda stealable form
!C0.PerkELE
this is a while ago maybe 10 years at this point a new music hall was built here and it had some copper decorations outside it those copper thingies were stolen atleast twice but maybe more before they finally just gave up and replaced them with something else
it was an amusing thing to follow especially since it was really publicized as it was a brand new building and it just kept happening
!C0.PerkELE
I don't think there has been any other really "televised" cases since and now a new one to baffle people who aren't aware of the copper thiefing get baffled by the church bell case
Tho there was an amusing case of "tree thieves" in one city just a while ago too some guys just dressed up in work clothes, took some chainsaws and chopped a bunch of public park trees out in the open and then carried them away
it is amusing how many things you can get away with, if you either just do it as if it is your job/you belong there or just do it fast enough, as is the case with the copper thieves
lumber is quite valuable and who is going to ask "where did you get this lumber" when you are selling it there are hundreds of thousands of forest owners here
and any local that might pass by would immediately go "hey you aren't matti kuusikko"
／人◕ ‿‿ ◕人＼
also while it's not necessarily "stealing" because it's junk throwout anyway, but apparently when there's a council pickup people go around cutting off the cords on electronics to scrap the copper because it's quick and easy
that would prolly be hilarious thing to do, tho quite mean look into people's oc waifus cos as them and send suggestive dm pics to the author then ignore them
>>996294 i took a video of driving past the Austin Gigafactory gimme a second to find it and upload it somehow it's kinda huge the building and the video it takes 47 seconds at 70+ mph to drive past it
wow it didn't focus at all on the stuff in the distance when i took a still photo lucky the video is good though might have to upload to YouTube or something though
