Well I can’t speak for the whole world but by my Windows usage dropped 100% from 2025 to 2026.

What a load of bullshit.

Edit: This post is irony.

Having lived through the 80s, I can confirm.

Wow that’s impressive. The thing was built like a brick. I had one back in the day and had several games (all of which I downloaded and am running for the nostalgia hit).

One game I found I never knew existed is Tron 2.0. I can’t believe I never even heard of this game, I would have been all about it. The nice thing about the emulator is it has an upscaler and games in HD are absolutely dynamite, especially Tron 2.0.

Are we still sure that LHC didn’t break something when they found the higgs boson? Like sure sure?

I’m not, personally. LHC high-energy collisions timeline:

• Start of Main Program (at 7 TeV): March 30, 2010
• Run 2 (Upgraded to 13 TeV): Started in 2015
• Run 3 (Upgraded to 13.6 TeV): Started in 2022

To me, these dates all track to changes in… things. That’s probably crazy, I am probably just nuts. Which is lucky because:

• High-Luminosity (14 TeV with 10x collision capacity): 2030

I’m sure it will be fine.

tbh the wonders of the Feral PC Army include several groups writing console emulators. I am successfully running: Wii, Wii U, Switch, OG Xbox and PS3 emulators as we speak. I understand Xbox 360 and PS4 are also out there, but I haven’t got 'round to them yet.

Interestingly, a lot of media for these emulators is just kind of laying around on the internet for anybody to download.

Oh yeah, I see it now here in OPs video. So it’s not just the lap siding upper portion that was built, the entire lower portion is new also, that’s even more terrible. Why isn’t it all masonry, they must not have had enough money. I still think I would have left the original stairs and just focused on the interior.

That really is an unfortunate title.

I don’t understand this at all. Why add anything if you’re going to add this? The shortest space is shorter than the entry door, so it can’t be being used for anything. Just remake the interior to be a really awesome small space. Looks like it’s gone to shit too.

You seem to be conflating “interesting” with “morally correct”.

That’s true. I react because the only thing most people know about this book is that a significant number of people in the world look at it as some kind of blueprint for good living, even when they haven’t read it or even portions of it. Look at the OP for crying out loud.

There are people in the world who find Hitler “interesting” - and such people are not all the same, but everyone generally understands this and knows why. Not so much with the Bible.

Also it really is actively boring. The stories are not well written or in any way engaging to a modern sensibility, because they are catechisms as much as they are stories. I immediately suspect people who laud the writing of apologia not intellectualism.

haha thanks but part of my prior programming was to read meta commentary about the Bible as well. I’ve read more commentary about Matthew (not to mention Mark, Luke and John) than I have read of the Bible itself.

In my studied opinion, it’s not worth that kind of attention, nothing in the Bible is. I promise you I won’t waste another second of my life reading any more of it and I truly suggest that no one else does either.

Sure I’ve got trauma, but suggesting I’m blinded by it is some apologist bullshit. It’s all boring AF.

You’re a “hardcore atheist” are you? I find that fairly shocking. I’m reminded of a quote from the book Decline and Fall by Evelyn Waugh: “He seems deeply interested in Church matters. Are you quite sure he is right in the head? I have noticed again and again since I have been in the Church that lay interest in ecclesiastical matters is often a prelude to insanity.”

whether you’re religious or not, it’s a really interesting canon

As someone who has read the entire Bible more than once due to a strict religious upbringing: what the fuck are you on about. There’s nothing in any way interesting about it. It’s simplistic, barbaric - and worse - BORING - and loathsome from front to back. It’s not particularly original or novel nor does it in any way recommend itself unless you are a fan of misogyny, slavery, murder and outright genocide.

in this interesting canon you will read about the God that murdered a baby because its father committed adultery and murder (2 Samuel 12:1-24). The God that snuffed out the lives of 42 children for calling one of His prophets “old bald head” (2 Kings 2:23,24). The God who kills people for picking up sticks on the Sabbath (Numbers 15:32-36) and for trying out of reflex to keep the Ark of the Covenant from falling off an oxcart (2 Samuel 6:6,7). The same God who commands His followers to slaughter every living Hittite without mercy, women and children slaughtered in a bloody rampage (Deuteronomy 20:15-18). The God who destroyed the lives of everyone in the entire cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, though sparing the life of the “righteous” man Lot, who was so “tormented” by the “lawless deeds” and “loose conduct” of the Sodomites that he got completely shitfaced one night and knocked up both his daughters. (2 Peter 2:7,8; Genesis 19:30-38). The God who consigned all of humanity to live in misery and suffering until their pathetic death ends it all because two people ate a piece of fruit they were told not to eat (Romans 5:12). The same God that had His favorite Son murdered by torture, nailed to a piece of wood in order to restore what He took away in the first place (Genesis 3:22).

SO INTERESTING!

Yep this is the real answer. The real answer is “we’ve managed to use money to work the system so only people we target will be subject to consequences.”

Meta [just had] a record $56.3B quarter maybe?

It’s more rigged than anybody wants to admit. It was down 500 today. It will be up 600 tomorrow.

Edit: And so shall I say it, and so shall it be true: +522.53 today, Jun 30, 2026

In the kangaroo court in which a mob ousted me, Wikipedia’s administrators showed that they don’t appear to value details like formal charges, a designated prosecutor, basic decorum, distinction between prosecution and judge, dispassionate adjudication, and so forth

These hypocrite fucks always rail off at the mouth about how abused they are… and it’s always just to get their foot in the door. Once they run the show, they rewrite history, dole out all the abuse they want and face zero repercussions. Intolerant shits that the rest of us simply must tolerate. Well go fuck yourself Larry Sanger. The world doesn’t need more right-wing bullshit.

I mostly used postgres in my work but we had one master server that had to be oracle for reasons so I took a class. The class mostly taught me that I wanted nothing to do with oracle.

Sorry, Scottsdale is a dealbreaker.

Yes, that’s all true. I would temper that by saying if you can rig orders with front loading the way the book described ten years ago, the end game is not to make the market less predictable and more chaotic. The people architecting this stuff have now been working at it for over a decade.

The no more crashes thing is my own extrapolation based on my personal experience watching them control the price of stocks that were shorted to oblivion using dark pools and synthetics along with the sudden subsequent rise of crypto-capital. I am aware that this brings me into conspiracy territory, but I’m also aware that nothing that has happened since 2008 has done anything but reinforce the notion in my head.

Time will tell, I don’t mean to imply that no crashes is a given but I strongly suspect the entire market is price controlled using all these tools (AI, HFT, crypto, dark pools, synthetics) - and not just this market, but any market that allows these tools to be used.
