do you ever get tired of pretending, or are you legitimately this stupid?

ACKTCHYUALLY, the people whom this issue affects don't even care, it's only white liberals making a big deal out of it!!

Things that are hard to believe still exist:

Linux
VLC media player
Pirate Bay (torrents/filesharing in general)
hard drives
email
google earth

Being a somewhat tech illiterate millennial (only knows how to navigate windows and passed a data structures class) it feels like any of these things could be eventually taken out next (probably not Linux just because it'd be the hardest)

I wouldn't at all be surprised if they found a way to monetize hard drives into a subscription based storage service

Mostly I don't understand much, but I know that I witnessed the internet turn from a fast clickable diverse wonderland to a place dominated by 6 websites which take up 4GB RAM to run, followed by the further decline of youtube (started going for ADHD related results in 2011), google (search results started sucking in 2019) and reddit (mods started getting banhappy in 2020)

I already knew we'd collapse before COVID, but seeing the reaction to COVID made me realize how absurdly stupid the average person is

Like at least with racism, you could tentatively argue that a mayo indirectly benefits from it. But the COVID brainworms is reminiscent of AI bots. Calling them cattle would be generous

not my problem

A slam dunk from beyond the grave

deer - clean but mineraly, also lean

goat - like lamb but more barn flavor

alligator - like chicken pork fish

frog legs - like chicken fish

goat testes - like the white of an egg but kinda musty (would not eat again)

snails - chewy

crawfish - tastes like a "muddier" lobster

shark fin soup - had it once in a restaurant decades ago, it was kinda gelatinous but slightly sticky

sea urchin - I didn't like this, but the ones I've seen in sushi restaurants look different (paler) than the ones I see fresh from the ocean, so it might be a freshness thing

eel - fatty and denser meat similar to the texture of mahi mahi

wagyu - I've had a few slices of this before, and I find it overrated (I find steak in general overrated). However I had it seared on a pan and it was thinly sliced already so it might've just been too nuked to taste good

eight equals equals equals equals equals equals equals equals equals capital d tilde tilde

you should think like Bill Gates and play 9/11 in minecraft

Millions must never remember

and senses are real bc they're reproducible

I see john get cut and he says owie
I get cut and it also feels like owie

therefore if john shoots himself and dies I can expect that to do the same thing

unless you're saying that my very conception of john, my visual image of him, is all solipsistic and derived from my own mental dreamworld, as are everything else in my life. In that case I would say damn I'm heckin smart and got a big brain. I used to think about this when I was little and I would imagine myself sitting on a big rock in space, and I'd wake up and realize that everything (my family friends etc) were all a dream, and the reality was just me, this moonrock I was sitting on, and the black galaxy around me

but on the other hand anglos literally bred pit bulls to tear cattle apart while they were still alive (and it was actually illegal to slaughter cows in england using normal methods)

I'm not saying pitbulls necessarily are genetically like that but I wouldn't be surprised.

But regardless, let us appreciate the fact that 1800s era brits thought that the only appropriate way to consume beef was by slaughtering it with a dog ripping it's muscle off its back while tied to a pole. Even being killed by a pack of wolves or a lion would be more humane lol

people who enforce IP also don't believe in IP

everybody should play minecraft

I don't think there's a problem with restricting internet access for your kids, especially if you can get other parents (of your kids friends) to do it too

Satrday Snday

lemmy poster can't do a google search

many such cases

how do you know your senses are valid and not solipsistic

if I'm the only real person on earth and everyone else is NPCs that means my senses are even more reliable and valid

every videogame/work of fiction just recycles generic LOTR medieval european stuff for the last 70 years

Uptown Funk is already a classic dude

That one Fetty Wap song

Despacito

Millions, Billions even, of adults will learn and date and play with children in the Roblox metaverse if we don't play IRL Minecraft

I can see Craig of the Creek being changing for little kids

yeah I hate having them in my pocket. It's so bulky. MP3 players on the other hand are like credit cards weightwise, and you can still use normal fucking headphones with them

grape wine sucks

there's more complexity in Shaoxing cooking wine than grape wine

also the best beer I've ever had was some artisanal non-alcoholic one, I've been trying to find it for 10 years but never succeeded

how do you make a separate internet?

something so salty it's called maldon

this dimension isn't real

Thou shalt rinse the xylospongium before thoust giveth it to the next user

I think the clickwheel design is, in my view, the single best one-thumb no-looking-required input scheme for an MP3 player I think anyone has ever made. Plug it into, say, my car stereo AUX port and I can pick it up with a free hand to control volume, select tracks, and even navigate mostly by memory without having to look at the thing. I can just tell where I am based on the feel of the control. Infinitely better than a featureless flat slab of a touch screen that gives you no sensory feedback.

can't most of these things be achieved easily by physical buttons too? of course everything is better than touch screen buttons

Does itunes even exist still?

I have an old ipod nano that still works, but I want to get the music from it onto my computer.

I'm also is remember stuff

like when I was when heat legend die

I simply project my reality onto my surroundings

by remembering that Esau is the end of the world

is it a food hyperfixation if I just want my fruit to be ripe and my other stuff to be fresh and stuff

Death to America
