I'm out of the loop on Reddit, but I was beyond a power user on there two years ago. Back then, if every human user on the site stopped using the site, the admins would not have noticed any difference because nearly every post was bot networks reposting old top posts and filling the comments with the exact comments from the last time it got upvoted.

Garbage website. I miss it for what it was capable of for a while there.

Rehired with all my previous tenure benefits with the added raise they would have given me had I been around when they gave out raises.

I was really confident. Then I lost a job to AI. Then they hired me back a few months later after realizing that replacing half the support team with an AI was not working out.

Years ago, a buddy got me going to his gym so he could show me the ropes. He'd been lifting most of his life and I really trusted him. It was the sort of gym where people go to do serious work. A lifter's lifting gym. Everyone there looked so serious and were pressing so much weight. I have never been that sort.

But they were all incredibly kind to me. Helped me when they thought I needed it. Never in a demeaning way. Any bad vibes I got from them was pretty much on me.

Those were really cool times. The gym would shut down about two years later and I haven't really gone to a gym since.

That’s a name with a lot of doubled letters.

I feel like this should be required watching for anyone who wants to better understand colliders and the politics around them. BobbyBroccoli made this series on the development of some of them.

The HD-DVD key was 09 F9 11 02 9D 74 E3 5B D8 41 56 C5 63 56 88 C0. Crazy slang all around. Kids are wild.

Do Simpsons screenshots automatically get that font when you try to put the text on, or is it something that just everyone has decided to do across the board?

This is what I was afraid of 15 years ago. I couldn't tell you the last time I bought a AAA game. This release is so disgusting.

Getting comfortable not owning your games?

White vinegar, run them again. All good.

Ages ago, I had the owner of a business I supported tell me I could remote into his computer any time that day, it would be available to me. I remoted in about 5 minutes after that call and he was amidst some fullscreen hardcore pornography. I respect that sort of move.
