  • Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes?

    Jump

  • I see brown and tan herringbone with paisley patterns blooming through it.

  • Annoying dark pattern where no means maybe later

    Jump

  • They tried AI the nice way and nobody gives a shit about it but billions have been spent already so they are tightening the screws to make you use it. This is late stage fuckery and hopefully the whole thing will collapse soon.

  • [META] What actually constitutes "mildly infuriating" content?

    Jump

  • And the third is broken into two pieces

  • How do you beat post-work floppiness?

    Jump

  • If you have a good job that’s not too demanding and are still feeling this, then you might think about it as a health issue and look into it with your doctor. You have two paths:

    1. look for some treatable malady - perhaps depression
    2. focus on wellness and fitness: exercise more, get your electrolytes, fix your diet

    Either of those two paths may lead to more energy. I don’t know how old you are but this kind of thing doesn’t get any easier with age so I highly recommend getting ahead of it as soon as you can.

  • What is the catalyst that actually causes (financial) bubbles to burst?

    Jump

  • The actual trigger is when someone influential decides “this is far enough - I’m pulling my money out before it all vanishes.” This doesn’t have to be such a dire thing - investors are constantly saying “this is enough, I’ve done well in this, time to take the profits and move my money elsewhere.”

    Others see the influential figure doing that and begin to get scared. Many follow. And this becomes a chain reaction when the market at large sees this trend. If it’s enough people, and there’s enough doubt looming out there, it will chain and take the entire market down. If there’s not, it will stabilize. Small corrections happen all the time.

    It’s a very basic human thing. If you were in a room and everyone else in it suddenly screamed and ran away you would follow them and figure out why later.

  • How do i get my nails to stop stinking faster

    Jump

  • I’m just seconding the consideration of UV curing products because they are cool and have many benefits. I have zero experience with anything to do with nails.

  • What do you call the beleif that gods are just higher beings on other planes of existence?

    Jump

  • This question is too vague. “Higher beings” is not well defined enough. “Other planes of existence” is not defined well enough. For that matter “the Gods” is not very specific. And in a weird way, what you’re saying seems somewhat circular. Like what do you call it when you believe gods aren’t gods? If you don’t believe they’re gods then who are you even indicating?

    Are you asking if there’s a name for someone who believes that humanity’s major religions do worship real living beings, but those beings are simply advanced alien creatures and not metaphysical in any way.

  • How do i get my nails to stop stinking faster

    Jump

  • I use UV curing wood finish for my woodworking projects now and it’s amazing. Nothing evaporates so there’s no smell and no respiratory health risk. Every bit of the liquid turns to solid, so you don’t have to use very much. And it’s done and set in 5 minutes instead of hours.

  • During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today?

    Jump

  • There was a “n——r regime?”

  • How do I finally get a long term career and become financially independent?

    Jump

  • Do what generation after generation of people have done: move to find opportunity. There are plenty of places where the economy is active enough that you aren’t caught between union gatekeepers and starvation.

  • How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events?

    Jump

  • SMH. You could get hit by a meteor tomorrow, or you could not. I guess you have a 50% chance of dying! Good luck with it man… I hope you make it.

  • How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events?

    Jump

  • Two outcomes does not mean 50/50 chances. Maybe you were being sarcastic about that, but people actually use that reasoning in the real world all the time.

  • Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

    Jump

  • Yeah the damages don’t make sense. They might be able to press other changes.

  • Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

    Jump

  • I’m not sure how that pushback can be applied. It’s not a legal argument that I am justified in stealing something if you won’t sell it to me. Although, at the same time, I don’t know what basis they have for claiming damages.

  • Tell me there are no women in your life without saying there are no women in your life.

    Jump

  • Hell yeah. I love the way Trek makes people like this piss and squeal and moan.

  • Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?

    Jump

  • I remember one old vet that used to show up every day as soon as the bar would open for his daily fix... It got to the point the bar refused to serve him

    So he’d go to this bar during business hours to drink. And this went on to the point where they stopped serving him? Something is missing from the middle of this story…

  • Youtube can detect VPNs now... the fuck?

    Jump

  • VPN ads seriously need to stop promising that you can get around content restrictions.

  • Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world?

    Jump

  • One of the motivations from the comics doesn’t make sense anymore. Remember that Death revived Thanos because she thought it was unjust that more people are living now than have ever died.

    That’s one of those cool sounding factoids that people used to throw around but which is now pretty well debunked. They _couldn’t _ go with that for the movies.

  • Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world?

    Jump

  • I love that title and have read it a hundred times. But I wish the writing didn’t veer into archaic high-falutin’ language like it does. Some realism and modernity really added something to Thanos in the movies.
