Chromebook sales are up

So we’re not out of the woods yet

Generally I get up before or during the pussy snacking

Went to Texas once. Made it to Paris, was there for a couple minutes, decided to leave after almost being involved in a fatal car crash right in front of me

The all time record high temp and all time record low temp for my area are set on the same day about ten years ago. I’d say the weather here is a little wild

I find one of the only two acts of justice from the last ten years to be very settling

Science and futurism with Isaac Arthur will always be my favorite YouTuber. The guys personal history is fascinating, he’s always been very involved with his community. He does video essays about different aspects of the future, from spaceship designs that work under currently known physics, to what the future of sports looks like. He covers megastructures like Dyson spheres(or swarms more likely), he’s touched on micro and nano technology, I bet you haven’t even heard of a Santa Claus machine. I recommend you start with his earlier stuff although it’s not mandatory. It will give you a good idea of the logical frameworks he works within. Plus hearing “whalegun” literally never gets old.

There’s also PBS spacetime. Matt Dowd is an amazing person and a very effective physics communicator. You can come away from his videos with nearly a college level education, but it’s a lot of work because it’s not easy to understand all the time. He’s breaks things down excellently, but the topics he covers are so complex that you can only reasonably break them down so far. He does quantum videos, lots of black hole stuff, breaks down everything we know about dark energy and matter, discusses the heat death of the universe, and gets into Einstein Rosen bridges and the holographic theory.

I don’t know what “bias” is in this context, science isn’t really political and doesn’t have a “message” so there’s not really anything to push. Either you communicate the truth, or you’re a grifter. There’s isn’t really an in between. That being said, this next person does make their political beliefs more known, although rarely does that get brought up in their videos.

Joe Scott from Answers With Joe is awesome! He does a lot more wide ranging stuff, like weird occurrences(missing people, time travelers, alien abductions) but he present them in a very unbias way in the sense that he tries to tell all sides of the story. He’s not a conspiracy theorist, but he does find some of the more wacky conspiracies interesting. He’s also done videos on AI before LLMs started taking over, he covered Omuamua back when that happened, he’s discussed how climate change will impact different areas. He’s a much more layman-level YouTuber than the others in this list, but he is every bit as informative and entertaining.

Styropyro does lasers and extremely high voltage, The Plasma channel does things that might shock you, the Thought Emporium does a ton of crazy cool stuff like gene editing and growing a real mini rat brain to play DOOM. IDidAThing does foot stuff. CodysLab is interesting. The video content is incredible, but Cody does give me some mildly unsettling vibes.

Shout-out to The GrandLine Review. They’re not sciencey at all, they cover One Piece. They’re cool and funny though, check em out if you’re into lore videos.

If anyone liked these recommendations, let me know. My feed is nothing but this stuff, and I’ve got a lot of YouTubers who I watch.

Pretty crazy how Israel is trying to label antisemitism as a good thing

Oh cool, TIL. Can you explain the idea behind it? I am a long time programmer so I have some experience but I’m also a lifetime idiot so take it slow lol

Also because my original comment could’ve come off a little dickish, let me explain that I have long hated bloom in every game I’ve ever noticed it in. I’m not really sure what bloom even is, but I think I have an idea. In star wars, the glowing effect around the sabers I believe is bloom, and it looks good. Meanwhile, take a look at Ark: survival evolved. The game already looks not terribly great, but with bloom on my system is basically just looks like it’s applying a massively sloppy anti aliasing filter to the entire screen. It goes from looking n64 quality to DOOM at 144p. And it’s not just ark, I’ve gotten into the habit of immediately turning off bloom and chromatic aberration in every game, because it almost universally makes the game look significantly worse. I can’t imagine that’s by design. I am autistic though and I’ve been known to think about things differently than most, do most people like that filter?

Is this going to make it so I don’t want to immediately turn off bloom in every game I play?

First time seeing musicolet mentioned in the wild, cool!

Everything by MADKID and Chihara Minori is great

Its extremely difficult to get a doctor to give you a vasectomy where i live unless you already have children

If ya know the words you can join in too

Obviously you get to choose your labels, but theres absolutely nothing wrong with being a tomboy and it certainly doesnt invalidate your identity, unless you feel it does. Some of the women i know and like the most are tomboys. I certainly dont view them as any less of a woman, although quite frankly i dont spend time thinking about peoples genders either.

Just do you! Being proud of who you are is great, but if you dont like who you are there are always options to change. If you had to describe how you want to be viewed, how would you go about it?

You guys are using glory holes?

I feel like this is most of shakespears work. Having read a lot of it, i was deeply unimpressed. I found it grueling to work through any of his pieces. And yet theyre universally beloved. Pretty sure its just because everyones teacher told them the book was good.

Its weird though, to kill a mockingbird was actually good, and yet it doesnt recieve nearly as much fanfare as something like hamlet or romeo & juliet. Feels like people just like shakespear because everyone else likes shakespear.

I dont know the laws in your country, but here doctors cant share any info on their patient without consent. I dont know if that would extend to a disagnosis like that, but the idea is that you ask your doctor if they think you are, and then you proceed according to their advice WITHOUT GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS. It would be massively beneficial for you to know yourself, as unchecked both of those can wreck your quality of life if youre not actively looking into coping mechanisms.

Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers? Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of? Have you had any issues dating? None of that is a guaranteed diagnosis, but if those questions particularly resonate with you or you feel called out then its worth looking into.
