It’s the all-time great PS controller, except I can’t actually hold the bottom protrusions in my hands.

What’s not to like? Just don’t hold the controller with your hands like you would normally do!

Tineye apparently hasn’t been updated in years. Google’s image search, aka Lens, is often good for mainstream stuff like shots from films or tv shows, and I think for comics too (though it does often miss even marginal stuff).

The guy also doesn’t have the muscle mass to operate a dildo.

Are you two spending hours wistfully browsing the BD catalogue?

The constitution of some countries in the West includes the privacy of correspondence. Idk how many countries and how that privacy is interpreted in any particular cases.

IMO it should be argued, in Europe, that this covers electronic correspondence too, and thus ChatControl and its ilk are unconstitutional.

Also Wiktionary imported the whole Webster dictionary from early 20th century sometime in the beginning of their operation, and apparently Webster was a fan of thoroughly describing each of the twenty meanings of a word. Which tradition continues in Wiktionary to this day — instead of giving three-word descriptions for two or three meanings tops, as other online dictionaries do.

My one complaint is that the thesaurus at Wiktionary is so-so, being exhaustive only for things like euphemisms, which naturally have many synonyms. In most cases, Thesaurus.com is a better resource.

I’ll break the mold by creating my own paradox, it’ll be known as SlurpingPus’ Non-self-referential Paradox.

The enlightened know that it’s just a super-condensed retelling of Bruce Bueno de Mesquita’s and Alastair Smith’s ‘The Dictator’s Handbook’.

Did you account for timezones? First fights started at 3:40 a.m. Kyiv time, which is UTC+2.

Thanks for the explanation. As it happens, one of my irks about the Windows version of Transmission is that it doesn’t remember the position of the torrent-properties window. I want the list on the left, the details on the right — particularly since Transmission reuses the details window, essentially treating it as a pane. This worked splendidly on MacOS.

Technically the original ‘Dracula’ is Austrian/Hungarian film ‘Dracula’s Death’, released in either 1921 or 1923. Considering that Dracula is either the most- or second-most-frequently adapted character ever, I wouldn’t be surprised if more films were made between this one and the 1931 one.

Also, funny thing, a Spanish-language version of ‘Dracula’ was filmed simultaneously with the 1931 film, on the same sets. It’s considered better made, because the crew had access to the dailies of the English version and could adjust the direction based on the flaws they noticed.

macOS are even worse in this regard IMO. Everything is just totally inconsistent

Why do you mention macOS if you haven’t used it?

Hold on, so I can’t run Transmission that has the torrent list in one window and torrent details in another window? Only one single window per app? What insanity is this.

Every app I know opens a window for the preferences, how is this solved in Wayland? Even just the typical Explorer-style file manager requires multiple windows to function. And of course, I always have a dozen Firefox windows open.

Ah! Good old videos on ‘how realistic these films are’. I know at least three decent series of such vids, but forgot about them lately — need to get into them again, they provide nice mealtime entertainment.

If we’re gonna take shitposts seriously, then I’m also gonna inform you that I recently watched the movies, and a lot of the injuries depicted would be at least ER-worthy, with possible permanent crippling damage, and more than a few would easily kill a man. Especially in the second film.

Ah, the ‘drawer of drawings’ guy. Who tends to skillfully draw bodies with comical proportions, and then give them uncannily detailed faces and especially eyes. Which results in a bit horrory atmosphere to all their comics.

the amount of pro genocidal statements and cheers for extremism

whenever you bring up topics like treatment of minorities, lgbtq+ rights, feminism etc, people normally dont comment on this stuff or make a “harmless joke” out of it

Not sure what corners of Reddit you’re browsing, but from what I’ve seen on r/all, the active majority don’t make extremist statements and don’t make jokes out of minorities (with the exception of the weird “women am I right” on r/SipsTea). In fact, Reddit is pretty leftist by US standards, considering USians are the majority of active posters and commenters.

However, it does have a penchant for ridiculing both Pakistanis and Indians — which, though, is lately supported by Indians themselves posting videos of uncivil behaviour on r/indianrailways and such. Plus, Indians and Pakistanis on Reddit do disparage and dismiss each other — idk about any particularly extremist sentiment. But this disparagement is typically limited to Indian subreddits, which mostly consist of ethnic Indians — judging by the prevalence of Hindi — who I guess have strong feelings on the matter (dunno about Pakistani subs, as I haven’t seen them).

Also, Reddit is implementing automated moderation lately, which does stuff like detecting bigotry based on nationality. This moderation is very stupid and ineffective so far, as it removes one comment and issues a warning, while hundreds of comments with the same sentiment are visible plain as day, but don’t contain the same keywords. Meanwhile many completely innocuous comments are getting hidden because the automation felt wonky about them.

Reddit is leftist by US standards. Even though Spez is reportedly Republican, that doesn’t seem to be reflected in the platform’s operations. Instead they’re ruining it by making the content shittier and introducing stupid crap like automatic moderation that shadow-hides many comments for no good reason.

With long hair, you have two particular easy opportunities:

• Just trim only the temples with a trimmer, and let the rest grow as it pleases. Or cut the ends to some length that makes sense. This way you can have a ponytail, or loose hair if that’s your style, and look okay.

• Or, get a ‘long mohawk’: have a barber buzz the sides so that you have the back and top in a straight wide stripe, then tie a ponytail and shave the sides with a trimmer once every week or two. This is more fit for dudes, though there are photos of gals in image search too. The benefit of this style is that it’s more chilly than a full head of hair, while also being low-maintenance.
