Formerly /u/Zagorath on the alien site.
When you accept him as gay, the hair, makeup, ballroom, and Liberace-themed decorations suddenly makes a lot more sense.

Interestingly, the earliest example of this meme listed on Know Your Meme is “junior react developer”, “senior react developer”. So this meme seems to have come full circle.
The stepping vs jumping on a rake meme, showing a stock image render of a person stepping on a rake and having it smack them in the face on top, and an image of a man doing a skateboard trick with a rake below, also landing on it.
The man stepping on a rake is captioned “programming for the first time”.
The man performing a trick with the rake is captioned “programming for the hundredth time”.

“Why would they do this” meme.
First frame shows man labelled “USA” shooting man labelled “Middle East”. Caption reads “[gunshots]”. USA is standing, while Middle East sits in a lounge chair.
Second frame, USA turns to camera, appearing shocked.
Third frame repeats the first frame, identically.
Yeah I’m shocked that the only reason I saw it is that the Facebook algorithm randomly decided to show me stuff from the Labor Party. They’re the only people I’ve seen mention this.
Is archive mode the appropriate tool for this? I would assume that’s for when a repo is no longer receiving any updates from anyone, not just when the owner doesn’t want others contributing.
There’s also the “Folkloric Block” flaw, which causes “holy symbols presented by any believer” to force you to “shrink away…or spend a Willpower point”. Even from a mortal without True Faith.
IMO it would be more flavourful to make this flaw only work on the faith the vampire themselves had in life. Present it sort of like their own faith is what has the effect on them. But as written, it’s a limited form of the general True Faith rules.
outlaws anonymous communication by requiring every citizen to verify their age before accessing a service
This is likely to be the case in practice, but technologically, it does not have to be the case.
If the age verifiers (which IMO should be the governments themselves[1], but could also be a private third-party, as long as it’s not the same as the social media company) only ever receive a blinded token representing the user, verify the user’s age, and then the user brings that token back to the social media site, unblind it, and present them the signed token, there is no way for the age verifier to track which sites a person visits, and no way for the sites to have any detail about who their users are (other than what they already have).
obviously, it actually shouldn’t be anyone at all: parents should be put in charge of their own kids, and maybe given the tools with robust parental control software to handle it client-side. Government server-side age verification is just not a good option. But if we assume they’re going to do that, we should at least discuss the way it could be done in the least-bad way. ↩︎
The 2024 event was seen as far north as the coast of Central Queensland.
Holy shit. I imagine it’ll probably be too dull to see over the artificial lights within Brisbane, especially the north of Brisbane where looking south means looking towards the brightest concentration of artificial lights. But I’ll be out for a run this evening to give it a look.
No, I was originally comparing two scenes in one episode of a TV show to a four-panel comic. But in retrospect, I only really needed to compare the first of those two scenes to the four-panel comic. The rest of Troy’s arc is an added bonus, but only the first scene of it is needed to establish the Good Will Hunting comparison.
The most important thing is to keep building. Once you stop the knowledge is gone
Hear, hear.
The parent comment would be pronounced “ghee A eff”. /g/ is the hard g of “gift”, not the soft g of “gin” (which is /dʒ/). (second word pronounced like “hey” or “say” without their first letters, or “eight” without its last.)
/gi eɪ̯ ɛf/
What is this abomination? /gi/‽
Is that an actual gif or one of those audio-less videos that many gif services have taken to using lately, due to their higher quality and smaller file sizes? (RIP gfycat)
Yes, and so is this comic. I just think Community did it much better.
Yeah, this comic is just a worse version of Troy’s plot from English as a Second Language.
edit: the whole arc, starting in ESL, ending in Introduction to Finality

The same woman, now with no visible mouth, in a wider shot, showing two figures raising their hands and looking at each other: a man in a lab coat, glasses, and with grey frizzly hair, and a depiction of “Frankenstein’s monster” as soon in popular culture.
