Legit bit of code I saw once getRandomColor() { Random.seed = 0; return Color.blue; }

Ooh I did a project based on this in Uni. It’s surprisingly easy to build a kill bot even without a processing unit. In fact the real issue is getting it to not kill everything that moves.

On the reverse side I told a bunch of people on Furcadia that 2 airplanes had just hit the twin towers.

Do not Google Furcadia on your work PC.

My weird “paranormal” quirk is knowing when someone is sick by smell. My nose is usually blocked up and I can barely smell flowers but for some reason I can just tell when someone is incubating some sickness that will make them bedridden the next day.

No idea how it works. I just smell “sick” - it’s kind of this warm earthy ground smell. I can even smell it on myself sometimes and I’ll know I need to take a day off tomorrow. My theory is I can smell something off in the skin temperature.

If it’s the UK it’s cheaper to meet in a random ass village in Lapland. (Or Mallorca).

Why is everyone suggesting ventoy and stuff and no one is telling you to just reformat drives you no longer need? Or are they all live OSs in use? Am I missing something?

When I lived in Germany I told this joke to a bunch of people.

Foreigners were either slightly offended (for the jab at germans) or found it chuckle worthy.

Germans couldn’t stop laughing.

Finally a career worth going for.

Helsinki yes, Finland no.

They don’t afaik unless you’re a legal immigrant. If you’re ilegal they will try to get you home.

Yep, Tampere :) never been to Turku but I’ve been meaning to.

Not all the time though, a lot of official things aren’t in Swedish or English. As someone who speaks much better Swedish than Finnish it’s hilarious that the native language listed in my medical file is Finnish with no chance of ever changing it (there just isn’t any other option). And this is in one of the top 3 cities.

They look useful for jousting. May even be historical but I’m not an expert on those.

Look into Hema. I’m sure there’s a club local-ish to you and if not just start one.

Eh going the extra mile is how I got so burned out I had to quit a job for the sake of my physical and mental health.

Did I get promoted? Hell no. Never did. The boss’s wife sure did though.

Yes I’m aware you said balance but I just had to share why I’m currently trying not to care anymore. Note I said trying, I’m really terrible at not giving everything to every project I’m in.

Not American but doesn’t central America get cold as fuck at night? I would assume that’s what cowboys dressed for since you can always remove clothes but you can’t exactly create them from thin air at night.

Same happened with me but on YouTube! Reported an ad that was pretending to be fox news or something, led to a website pretending to be another news site that linked to a fake shell (the oil company) site to get your credit card information. Despite going very in depth about the scam “everything was fine”.

I think it’s “Return to a life where you don’t get internal organs in your hair?”

This is literally what capes were like. The world was even more dangerous back then and the human brain hasn’t received any upgrades since capes went out of fashion :)

I haven’t read harry potter for 20 years, got totally burned out before finishing the series and as you can imagine 14 year old me wasn’t exactly very aware of trans issues but here’s a few even my thick headed teenage brain found weird:

• Bankers are basically jewish caricatures - short goblins with long noses that only care about money

• Weird slavery message where Hermione is proven wrong for wanting to free the elves as a lot of them are happy with servitude

• Every foreign character is a weird stereotype. I think there was even a Korean character with a chinese name like Chong? There was clearly no concern for portraying anything correctly, just a weak attempt to increase diversity with no effort I guess

There were also a few weird things adjacent to harry potter like how every major character is basically described as alabaster white and she later attempted to hide her bias by saying “I never explicitly said that X was white”. Lady, you literally wrote that Hermione was a pale redhead in dozens if not hundreds of pages. I don’t care if she’s played by a 4 inch tall blue alien, just own up to it and stop gaslighting people.

Also, not a big deal but it always felt weird to me that even the nominally poor family lived a life of luxury. I could tell the person writing never truly knew hardship from the way she wrote the Weasleys. I can’t say I have much experience myself but it felt strange how they kept saying a clearly upper middle class family was destitute and made fun of.
