It’s a shame, too. I don’t really mind playing with other people, usually PvE, but when you’re just so much more mature than they are the whole dynamic can be grating. PvP though? I’m not sure what’s worse, the shit talkers or the teammate griefers who throw a game for some silly reason.

That said, I met my wife in an MMO and you very much can make genuine connections with strangers on the internet. Just… You know, if you’re hitting 40 and they’re 14, the FBI might want to have a word with you.

There’s probably more, but that’s certainly one.

The same museum also has more soft core erotica art from that era.

Oh right! https://hero-magazine.com/article/183116/hokusai

Google sent me here and now I’m on a list. Lol

Coincidentally, teenagers are also the reason most gamers prefer single-player games.

I tried to find it, but I’m not in a good position up search right now lol. However! I believe I saw it in San Francisco’s Asian Art Museum. Maybe another, slightly less compromised Lemming can source it, haha.

I’ve literally seen historical tentacle porn prints in an Asian art museum. It is wild.

To be quite fair, if he’s elected again and my wife gets deported back to Japan, I get the sense I’ll also just be happier in Japan. Too bad he’s also a threat to the world, though— there’s a reason I’m not really hearing “if he’s elected, I’m moving away” stuff like the first time or back in the Bush years.

I know you’re going for creepy buuuut I read it more like a dude who doesn’t get what a painting is.

I think I’d be a terrible park official. I’d say the same things, but always with a winky face.

Bigfoot isn’t real ;)

That’s our official stance ;)

It’s terrible in most scenarios now that I think of it…

Be sure to stay hydrated out on the trail ;)

Please evacuate the grounds, there is a wildfire burning ;)

That was kind of my takeaway too. I hope people get the sense he’s a liar, but ultimately I imagine most of the night is forgettable. The main goal for Vance is name recognition in 4 years while also not offending Trump, and he kind of did that.

You know, I used to be a little like him when I was younger and that style does work when you have at least an ounce of charisma. But then I stopped being a fuckboy and started growing real relationships; being a smooth liar is a hollow existence.

Good God it’s all Vance.

Actually listening to NPR earlier, fact checking guest said both sides have always lied, but GOP has always lied more even prior to Trump. JD on stage reminds me of those days where it’s told straight as a cohesive argument, is still a lie, but harder to detect because the lie isn’t told like a batshit conspiracy theory.

Those kind of lies are the kind I hate most, although I guess America has shown that idiots will eat up even the batshit crazy lies…

Oh. The campus I teach uses juice box. I wonder what’ll happen to them.

Glad to be in California, even if my vote isn’t going to matter thanks to electorial college. I still have to vote on propositions and other down ballet stuff, but it’s a simple walk to a drop box. We get quick confirmation and votes remain sealed until counted to prevent tampering, so it’s pretty safe to mail it or drop it off. Also still counts if it’s postmarked on time, although I do late that it’ll be a week before we really know results.

That said, if you can go early voting in person, it’s probably more reliable in many other states with less protections. I heard USPS may be unreliable and if you can’t get confirmation via email or text, it’s hard to know if it’s received.

There’s a very very interesting story about nesticle but unfortunately I’ve forgotten it. Some kind of drama, a bit edge lord stuff, and I think someone died? It’s actually one of the first emulators, ever, though.

It was a very niche community back then though, long before IGN caught wind. Weird I only found out because of a crazy conspiracy theory uncle, though. Thanks for reminding me about UltraHLE, though!

As with Yuzu, I won’t be buying any more switch games. I’ll still be playing switch games, and so will my friends, but we won’t my buying them.

Honestly, I’ve lived watching emulators for decades. They can come and go and there’s always more, even ones that aren’t forks. Just today I was reminiscing on my first emulators, zsnes, no$gmb and nesticle. Y’all remember the peaceful zsnes snowfall? Good times.

Everyday angry is usually due to stupid and/or entitled people, but as a teen I experienced blind rage before and that’s a lot harder to explain. You kind of blank out and go after someone, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, truly beast mode. That was usually from bullying or dealing with my alcoholic father, though.

Now a days anger is probably closer to irritation than anything. Which is kind of a shame, I used to use anger to get things done. I once was so angry at a teacher for an unfair C in an art class that I channeled that into the most haunted self portrait I think he ever saw for the final. I ultimately got an A. Does spite count as it’s own emotion? Lol

Yeah that sounds like standard Bob’s Furniture. My dad often ordered from them, and still does since he never seems to learn and low prices hijack his common sense.

It’s funny to see both Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle take two very distinct paths into old age. Actually true of most people in that movie, lol

I was a little confused too (plus it doesn’t help that the joke itself isn’t very clear) but I’ll boil down my own thinking:

• The Dunning Kruger effect is just that people bias towards thinking themselves more knowledgeable than they are when they lack expertise.
• The brain is probably human, and maybe healthy, if Google image search is to be believed. I’ve had anatomy classes with very dead brains to look at and brains certainly look like that (?) but plenty of primate brains look that way, too.
• I think OPs joke is that the second brain is the same, only measured differently because of said bias.
• It’s likely everyone in the comments have limited expertise and thus may be demonstrating said effect by correcting one another.

I’m still not getting the joke but I think it’s funny enough that us commenters of commenters are questioning things and might be the only ones not experiencing the Dunning Kruger effect. Lol

Ate the nonion, as it were.
