Emergency kitten- Nutsy edition. Happy boy, happy purrs

the fact that the latest discourse du jour is over a game that came out over a decade ago is unsubtle authorial signaling about what the consequences of 2010s popularization of media criticism actually achieved

Given what Mythos can do and where it presages the internet and connectivity going, the very notion that stuff should just be randomly attached to the internet, mostly unsecured, with archaic security, sounds more and more silly

It cannot be overstated how much influence Suzuki has had on modern horror. Without his books being adapted, the modern crop of horror movies looks VERY DIFFERENT. Without RINGU, there is no SINISTER or INSIDIOUS or IT FOLLOWS. The J-Horror aesthetic which evolved from his books redefined horror.

reminds me SO MUCH of Wally 😻

I used to keep seeing this reference and thought it was a hilarious meme and then I discovered that no, this dude is literally a Zangeif cosplayer

"Hey wow you look incredible. Just to start this out, the views espoused during this date are my own and not that of my employer. "

you avoid one big crashout by crashing out in small ways. its like controlled burns vs a forest fire

excuse me User, i'm running a smoke

this but for ~any infrastructure that's more complex than a soundbite and older than 9/11

Holden Caulfield is a teenager who spent several years thinking his older brother was going to die in World War 2, he watched his younger brother die of leukemia, and his parents keep shipping him off to boarding school instead of letting him stay home with his one remaining sibling.

As an audience member, my daughter has consistent and clear requests, and my husband makes sure to let me know them.

i think people are too harsh on bsky because it is actually social media itself that is dying, not any particular site

my fav part is how the artist they commissioned for the piece was also like"what the fuck are you on?

its a metaphor for how most people actually think about extreme scenarios. eg they behave like they don’t believe in the scenario while publicly saying they do

“man becomes his own sockpuppet” is a fascinating bit of theater

whole goddamn site holding a flashlight under its chin

That's the most irritating part: browser fingerprinting is a real thing. It's taking a number of innocuous or even beneficial bits of information & using them to build a profile Presenting it in the voice of a shadowy mastermind in some spy thriller does nothing to build understanding

Ten minutes after the download, the FBI busted down her door. The crime? Accessing unlicensed Star Fox pornography. The tracing method? Browser Fingerprinting. The sentence? Life

that's me serving up ads to people with 10% battery that just say 'damn girl you live like this charge your fucking phone'

There is only one superhero I am certain I would recognize if I saw him in the flesh walking down the street, and his name is Peter Parker

This is DARE for Do Not Track

They know my IP address and the general location I’m logging in from? You don’t say?

Why would a web server want to know what your local time is, what browser you’re using and what fonts are available? Must be for spying

All the things it listed for me are things you use to make sure the page actually renders on the users device

also it’s impossible to read

"Your device carries these typefaces, of the seventeen commonly probed by fingerprinting checks. On desktop, the specific combination of fonts is often nearly unique — fonts accumulate over time, with apps and OS updates, and the resulting set becomes a fingerprint made of letters. " roflmao

It might be more accurate to refer to it as a throne room, since that's its real purpose--pomp and grandeur to reflect on the sovereign. Besides, you just know it will end up with something akin to a golden throne when it's done.

in the original ending of "I Am Legend" (the book, the movie director didn't have the balls to do this) the protagonist muses on being hated and feared by a society full of vampires, as the sole remaining human

you know you're too atproto-brained when the reddit makes you ask "why the did someone make an atproto couch?"

Next year's parade:

anyone actually asserting this is too stupid to take care of themselves

Something that amuses me about how American culture dominates post-apocalyptic fiction is that nobody cycles. The petrol has run out so everyone trudges around.

you have to also understand one of my cats is the largest dumbest boy of all time and i would kill for him. he’s so incredibly big our vet is like how larege is this cat and i’m like pretty fucking large dude. my chip. huge idiot like his old man
