Nothing can justify this.

Edit: You guys aren't getting this, so I'll explain it. This was senseless murder. Period. This wasn't some he said she said left versus right bullshit. Go ahead and say "actually" and go fuck yourself. I'm tired of this ridiculous nerd baiting bullshit. You're not funny. You're not witty. You're not scoring points. Life isn't reducible to the whims of some shitty sorting hat that rewards you points because you're not a cunt. This was senseless murder and should be treated as such without stupid fucking dry sarcasm.

I feel bad for the pressure she must feel. She's absolutely beautiful, and it's almost like some weird dude had body dismorphia on her behalf. The edited photograph looks like a fucking cross eyed sex doll. There's no way this is AI. This was some chud with a pirated copy of Adobe Photoshop.

Calling them horse tranquilizers is misleading. Ketamine was and still is used in medicine and is on the WHO list of essential medicines.

My cat is prescribed gabapentin. Some even get tramadol. Warfarin literally was rat poison until we got all but the craziest SOBs with an abundance of vitamin K in they're veins.

This is a very sensible change. It's an open secret that discord has been leveraged by hackers for quite some time. You can even search Github and find examples where exfiltration of data is done via discord. Discord is not a file host and should not be used as such. I'm just glad they're doing it in such a way to minimize the impact on users and devs.

I'm not too familiar with blahaj (I mean I'm just not from the instance so that makes sense) and only vaguely familiar with gardevoir. That being said, this is adorable and very well drawn op!

I don't know why my mind went there, but initially I thought that the bug on the left was unusually thick.

I wish I was a good enough dev to write a swift keys replacement. There's AnySoftKeyboard available, and they're doing an amazing job with swipe input which I prefer, but there's only so much one person can do.

I've been away, but I skim lemmy every now and then. I noticed the uptick in start trek shit posts. I actually really like them. I don't really watch the show, but my friends are fans so I get some of the jokes. I even went to a con with my brother in law for his birthday. Besides something about Picards flute I had no clue what was happening, but the excitement was infectious.

I've been on the fringe of a few communities for quite some time, so I know how it feels to be constantly looking for a place you fit in. I'm glad you found yours op. Not going to say the thing, but all the best.

Blahaj's expression is killing me lol.

Why does this happen? I feel like the stupidest person in the world 90% of the time. Log into work and our PostgreSQL server is about to fall over. I don't know PostgreSQL, I didn't setup the server and I generally don't have anyone on to help me, but I manage to execute a complicated fix before it implodes. Then I go back to forgetting where I put my phone down every thirty seconds.

I just got diagnosed a year and a half ago or so. Reading other peoples stories has really helped me reflect on the past and put every thing in context.

I don't know if it's just the lighting, but his pupils look quite dialated. I'm wondering if this is a case of stimulant psychosis, or good old regular psychosis. Either way, I don't get the aside in the story to point out his stupid fucking tattoo.

Edit: Now that I think about it, isn't he at the age that schizophrenia tends to manifest?

Yeah, they were probably fucking panicking.

Dealers don't clean their scales. That's why it shows up in other drugs that are or were powders. That's it. Fentanyl and carfentanyl are just that lethal. Those benzos and other pills begin as powder before being pressed. Also, pretty much all black market oxys or Percocets are pressed fent these days from what I've heard. Unfortunately, it takes very little fentanyl to cause an overdose, especially in those who don't have any previous history with opioids (i.e. kids taking mdma at a music festival not expecting to stop breathing) . Cannabis laced with fentanyl is nonsense.

I haven't had the chance to look up the data myself, but if downloads did decline in a way that's unprecedented its a strong loss leader. To be really interesting though you'd have to couple it with other metrics.

Edit: There are people implying they work or worked at Twitter. They didn't.

Thanks for the context! Thought that was weird for a second.

Edit: I'm going to copy this and post it as a root level comment so others can see.

They're asking for a translation.

Wow, you took the words right out of my mouth. This is just tragic in every way.

What even was that persons comparison. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills sometimes. How are sex and murder even slightly related? I'm sure if I was 14 again I'd say something like "they give and take life, they are two sides of the same coin" or something like that that totally misses the fucking point.

^(I'm replying to you because last time replied to one of these people directly I was botted for like a week. )

Too wholesome lol

He's written a lot of fan fic style stuff that's present in the library as I'm sure you've seen. It's a good light read within the context of the game, but yeah. I don't think it's enough to carry a movie.

Edit: I've removed myself from almost all media besides lemmy, do we have an eta on the haunted chocolatier game? Just wondering. I want him to develop it on his own timeline so we get something he's proud of.

Edit 2: Just saw that there's no release date so he can work in peace without all the deadline pressure. I'm glad he's setting boundaries. I feel like we'll get a better game in the long run because of it.

"This was three weeks. I was bitten an hour ago... and it's already worse. This is fucking real, Joel....."

"Take Ellie. I've got a couple of fake names from that dead baby job we did back in Honolulu with Tommy's friends. You can give her a normal life. "

I can't help you with stock market stuff unfortunately. To be honest, I wouldn't want to have to deal with the headache of it all myself. If you're still interested in writing a bot though a great way to learn is to pickup the programming language Python. There is a ton of free material out there for beginners. A good first project for when you start to feel comfortable is writing your own discord bot. If you're interested I can try to find some links after work to share!

I'm just waiting for someone to claim its because cannabis can potentially exacerbate underlying mental health issues. It's very clear that was not the intention of the article assuming the authors had even known about such a thing in the first place.

I'm guessing snakey boy is copper clad aluminum though.

Uncle Tommy later in the story: "I seem to remember them not being our friends at the time and the dead baby job being very much your idea. Payment for that tuna smuggle you fucked up at the qz in Waikiki. "

Probably, especially if they've been put in an awful situation. Still, I'm sure it's not that common since they rely on word of mouth or online postings these days. There would be drama within the local circle of both clients and escorts.

A lot of escorts run a tight ship. I'm talking webpages with professional photography done, that sort of thing. They also worry about the safety and job security of members within their community. Someone going rogue is just bad for everyone.

^(I just realized I repeated what another person has already said my bad.)

Thanks! I'm not. Not an artistic bone in my body. Still, every once in awhile I just can't help it when a dumb idea hits and I could use a giggle.

My bologna has a first name. It's l-o-v-e-d.

Yup! There are people out there with big pockets watching for stats much subtler than this. It doesn't always mean much taken on its own, but as a whole can paint an interesting picture.

Sometimes I wonder if I am still worthy of tendy love and care.

Thank you.

I think I'm going through some dumb "the internet was better when I was young" phase. Looking back on some of those proto-memes though.... oooff.

I almost want to add a hyphen now to make it official.

Dang, I think you nailed it.

Thanks! You're right.

Sorry, it's been a tough couple of weeks and I was just frustrated. Layoffs finally got to me in the aftermath of the actors strike (leaderships reasoning, not mine because I actually saw what was going on internally).

I can't tell sometimes if I'm trading one echo chamber for another. Reality is just bizarre sometimes. I had someone arguing with me about code in a video game. I wrote the code almost 10 years ago. I know reddit was just as bad, if not worse for that "loudest persons right" way of commenting. Usually it gets mixed in with a dash of hive mentality.

I know those points are all loosely related, I'm exhausted after working insane hours through the year with no vacation just to be dumped before the holidays. I need to unplug for a week or two I think.

Edit: Wait, about the comment I replied to? Yeah my bad. I've been avoiding disagreeing with people directly after I got harassed several months ago. I was really happy with that person's comment, I was just a miserable prick at the time. I had to leave some communities and almost nuked my account when another lemmy instance unleashed their bots: every post I would walk into would be targeted and voted down into oblivion. You'd lose all visibility within a short period of time.

I'm not sure if there's been work done since to address this, but I totally understand if they're still not ready to tackle it. They are a volunteer crew after all. I should follow the repo on Github. Maybe there's some small stuff I could help out with while I'm looking for work.

Lol okay that was funny.

I don't have a side. My personal politics is a shit mix that trends left. I feel like a leper wherever I go when I'm not ready to commit 100% to what either group is saying. I was just frustrated when I wrote that, I apologize.
