The nazis modeled a lot of their Reich on the Roman state (the eagle iconography was used by both). The Roman salute was just something else they took from their idea of the Roman empire

So I’m with you, I have no idea how “it’s a roman salute” is supposed to make anything better

LaTeX: ok, I’ll print out 100 in math mode. No problem

Based on having had to read that comment I would say we’re already in the bad place

I think I’d like a game with those exact prices… In in-game currency

Pack a bomb??

I’m worried about them randomly selecting my bag for drug inspection or the bag being tagged in the X-ray… And the TSA agents judging my bag packing method and skills

I would assume that if they want to make the world a better place, they admit that their actions have long-reaching impact, which is not really a feature of nihilism, optimistic or not

But I’m not an expert, do what you want

Oh no a massive time sink

(thanks! I have a lot of nostalgia for Runescape but don’t want to waste months of my life, so I’m considering getting a single player server up and running with a like 10x exp multiplier. Now to decide on 2003, 2009 or 2012…)

ChatGPT can be super useful, but I’m kind of worried about people learning to use it exclusively.

I tried helping a PhD student assemble a set up for measuring transistors. He used ChatGPT to do all the code for the software control (python), which is fine, even if he relied on it to fix every single part of his code when a quick trip to the reference manuals of the equipments would solve the problem instantly.

At a certain point I realized I maybe had misunderstood his set up design and asked him “wait, which device do you want to connect to your gate? Which terminal even is the gate?”

And I kid you not, the dude asked ChatGPT which terminal in his device was the gate

(he also reeked of weed so there’s that)

Luckily it’s an alligator, so the tears are genuine. If it were a crocodile, on the other hand…

Sounds deep but isn’t

Title of your sex tape

That’s amazing!

Now give me a tip to prevent myself from opening the same app immediately after hahaha

With yt-dlp? Skip them manually.

Like, my main issue with ads is all the tracking they do. If they add non-targeted ads to the video file I downloaded, whatever, I’ll just fast forward through that part of the video.

A lot of people around me tend to parrot that a lot of the safety measures are not for explosives detection, but for drug trafficking prevention. I’ve always disagreed because nobody ever presented any evidence to it, and the measures in place do come from explosive detection (unless they have metal drugs now idk). But I’ve wondered whether there is some truth to it.

I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say “fifteen dollars” and not “dollars fifteen”. That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.

Sure, 15$ wouldn’t get me far, but it’s a start!

I agree with you, but Xbox just took the Dreamcast’s layout, which means SEGA is the original culprit

Is it just me or is Heathcliff being more important in his strips recently? Maybe as a response to your efforts?

Yes. That implies you are on the same level as Stephen King.

You should publish as Steven Emperor ;)

Wait, Reddit is pro-Israel now? I haven’t been there in a while (to be honest, since before this topic escalated) but that surprises me
