But it can’t be wrong, it’s confirming my preconceptions!!

Fuck, are we going to have to crowdfund this? At least with CNN reporting on it there’s enough awareness they might secure alternative sources, but this is getting fucking insane.

I fear that would just turn into a system for forcing surprise dick pics onto people

That it’s a totally fair choice makes it all the better. Vegas-style buffets are a production that really caught on globally (thanks to that marketing) and really are a distinct style. But like, theres fuckall other options for them, nevada is a fucking cultural wasteland (if you ignore those tens of thousands of years of indigenous culture, but who cares about THAT…)

I havent done a linguistic survey I admit, but at least in my experience ‘weeb’ is a gender neutral term and the anime fandomis at most slightly skewed towards male fans (fascinating article btw). In short yeah there are differences between the genders, but they mostly differ between media targeted at one gender or another (Military Drama vs. Gay Vampire Romance, for example. Stereotypes go brrrr.)

Would not have thought the venn diagram of weeb and horsegirl covered enough people to fund a game like this, but the more I think about it the more this makes total sense

It’s a pretty recent one that seems to be gaining popularity in more and more subcategories as youtube’s hypersensitive demonization bot rolls out to more and more videos. Using the words ‘suicide’, ‘pedophile’ or any terms related to self harm reportedly set it off, regardless of their use in context. People are retaliating by using “youtube” as a euphemism in place of the censored terms, hoping it will catch on. So far it seems to be working, as no matter your political, ideological, social or cultural baises we can all band together and agree that youtube are just the worst.

Oh hell sorry, “youtubing” oneself is a current euphemistic slang term for self-harm/suicide. I wish I was young enough for it to have meant something less depressing.

I had whooping cough as a child (vaccine resistant strain) and it got so bad I tried to youtube myself just to get some rest. It’s truly horrifying how bad it can be. I just wish there were recordings of what it sounds like, so anti-vaxxer parents could at least begin to understand why its so awful.

Guys I swear, this time It’ll happen. Forreal. I can feel it.

(Good on the EU for recognizing open source solutions as finally being truly viable options)

I was in the building when when a 3F 1200V capacitor, part of a multi-rack mounted capacitor bank (powered a magnetohydrodynamic modeling experiment), failed. It ripped the rack’s 30cm mounting bolts out of the floor, launched the three-tonne rack hard enough to crack the ceiling and shattered every window in the facility. I want to say that afterwards I never broke the rule about not being allowed to enter the experiment room until the banks were discharged, but I’d be lying. Undergrads are idiots, and holy cow don’t fuck around with those caps…

People post this kind of stuff in the reviews for every kinky item on Amazon, I’ve never understood the compulsion to share your fic in that medium but I guess some folks gotta write when the inspiration hits 'em…

This very much depends on the subject, I suspect. For math or computer science, wikipedia is an excellent source, and the credentials of the editors maintaining those areas are formidable (to say the least). Their explanations of the underlaying mechanisms are in my experience a little variable in quality, but I haven’t found one that’s even close to outright wrong.

They may laugh now, but you’re gonna kick ass when you get isekai’d.

People root for underdogs.

And Palestine seems to be kinda on Russia’s side as well so remind me again why I should support them at all?

… Please stop agreeing with me, you’re awful.

Not trying to be that guy I swear, have you got a source? That number seems pretty high, even for Israel.

[…] It was then, in February, that Mr. Damsky opened an account on X and began posting racist and antisemitic messages. After he wrote in late March that Jews must be “abolished by any means necessary,” the university suspended him, barred him from campus and stepped up police patrols around the law school. He is now challenging the punishment, which could result in his expulsion.

Yeah, he sounds great. At least they clued in eventually…

This has reminded me of the Mormon kids at my highschool who’d talk about how “fucked up” and “high” they’d gotten from drinking eight cans of caffeinated soda at once. Adorably edgy, they were.

Yeah, I’m just gonna leave this criticism from twitter of the source linked in the OP article, since apparently now twitter posts are credible sources in of themselves…?
