I’m a heavy emoji user, texting is such a poor medium for communication, many times people get the wrong message, but with an emoji you’ll get an idea of the face I’m making, so less chance of misunderstanding...
Language fails us again and again, how often do we have to compare things to other feelings of sensation? Miscommunications? How short do words fall time and time again? A fool believes our words are enough, like a haggard face cant speak volumes with more clarity without a single word being said.
Despite how necessary it is to pay for hosting, ads have ruined nearly all browsing experiences save one site where the ads were maintained by the site themselves and could be purchased by the users to advertise threads.
I doubt any of the instances have a mod team large enough to want to maintain dedicated “For Sale” comms and make sure nothing dubious is going on.
I’m hoping this doesn’t start a fight, I’m just curious what the political orientation is of this community. I grew up in a liberal (in the American sense) family, and I identify now as a socialist, though a lot of the liberalism I grew up in has stuck with me, like interest in LGBTQ and women’s rights, environmentalism,...
It’s something that often people will point to how communists heavily persecute LGBTQ people but ignore that the people who fought for LGBTQ liberation in the western world were Marxists, MLs, Maoists, or worked very closely with those groups.
It’s kinda like connecting a sleepy road as a bypass or service road to an incredibly busy highway. I dont blame anyone for being a little alarmed at the monstrous increase of activity all of a sudden
UPDATE 2It seems that starting today, uBlock Origin is working to combat this Youtube Block. Mine started working again! Lets all thank the devs of UBO for fighting this fight!...
I saw two borked up ads that played audio and no video, refreshed my browser and haven’t seen them since. I also updated my block list and it’s been fine.
and the pet project of the person kicked out of Mozilla for continuing to defend harmful political donations
This one is interesting to me because it begins to explains why it has the same terrible clipart lions head logo as a bunch of deadend political parties, groups, and candidates. It seems pretty obvious now
Curious about the blank stats for hexbear. Should this populate over several weeks or do they pull from OUR statistics and it just didnt take them yet?

I dont see how you can defend this. You acknowledge it’s based on a racist term. There’s no reclamation going on, you just lifted context and addressed none of the problems. And no part of you is saying “we could probably use another work here” in all of this?
They were not called that “for a brief moment” it’s been used to put down import tuner cars for decades by people who’d rather drive mustangs and camaros. It was meant to put down:
small displacement import cars
tuned import cars
(and this one i remember cause it wasnt that long ago) cars with cheap or considered tacky modifications that often only alluded to performance modification.
It’s so obviously loaded with racist connotation that I dont know why you’d want to defend it so badly.
Also it’s not two manufacturers. Honda, Toyota, Nissan, Mistubishi were all putting out sporty cars that were getting performance numbers rivaling v8 block american cars at the time
I’m seeing a bunch of tacked on cosmetic bits made to give the look of performance to computers. According to another post, that one-for-one matches my last known definition to the term.
Also nonracists using a racist term doesnt make the term stop being racist. Curing doesnt start by not meaning it when you keep using the racist term. You dont bandage a stab wound by continually stabbing the victim.
No. This framing is incredibly foolish. If a term is hurtful to a group of people, you stop using it in favor of other words, otherwise you demonstrate you dont care that it is hurtful to a group of people, hence “continually stabbing the victim”
Same story with mine, i ended up getting one as a teen, then bought another for dirt cheap 7 years ago. Had some guy repair it in the past after tubes blew, ended up cutting a ground wire to V1. This amp always has a dirty character, then i picked up another and it’s clean and loud and completely managable.
My latest gremlin has been a tone that generates under a note i play that overpowers my highest notes with an inharmonic distortion. But that’s gone away the last time i played it.
Cant say i’ve had that particular problem, except for gain. This makes me think i have a problem in my preamp section.
I wish i could switch out tubes for 2 of my amps. But they got EXPENSIVE, especially cause i favored Sovteks cause they used to be the cheapest. Also all my amps are Sovteks so i thought it was funny
I dont think they’re supposed to be any safe at all. As part of our board culture we’re to expect that DMs offer no security, and to use other platforms if it’s a concern.
Bold move. There’s not anything on there worth me disabling my adblocks, cookie blockers, etc that I wont see in clips in youtube before they pull the same stuff
With so much note taking apps nowadays, I can’t understand why does anyone still write notes with pen and paper. You need to bring the notepad, book or that paper to retrieve that information, and most of the time you don’t have it in hand. While my phone almost always reachable and you carry when you go out. For those still...
They used to be so good. I think the Sanford people bought them. Cant say how it affected quality tho as I’ve moved to metal barreled mechanical pencils and am in love with the Pentel Kura Toga rn
