Test scores don’t stack up to GPAs in predicting college success
  • I had plenty of scholastic aptitude to pass the SAT with, and none of the scholastic work ethic or study skills to pass college with 🙃

  • Putin promises African leaders free grain despite 'hypocritical' Western sanctions
  • Yes, I'm saying that I hold my nose and agree with the sanctions not applying to grain exports

  • alright, hear me out for a second...
  • I love it when you freaks do the math

  • Putin promises African leaders free grain despite 'hypocritical' Western sanctions
  • As much as I think Russia is a hellish pit that radiates evil, even I recognize that the intentionally fragile global economy requires Russian grain to flow freely if we don't want half of Africa (and probably part of Douth America) straight up federating with Russia.

  • FBI Seizure of Mastodon Server is a Wakeup Call to Fediverse Users and Hosts to Protect their Users
  • But I’d argue that you should not store anything on Mastodon where it would be an issue if it became public.

    One of the first things new fediverse users should be told is that the fediverse is not the darknet.

  • Like a degaussing loop hidden in the door frame?

    I deeply enjoy that your mind has a rail for this train of thought to run on

  • I don't know those people on your list from Gerald Ford but if having experienced people in board helps you deal with your health, I'll vote yes.

  • We all know which one NCD prefers
  • I've seen enough Korean porn to know that the truth is roughly the average of these two

  • ka-chow
  • Nah, he didn't hate women

  • Is the Chicago reddit getting astroturfed by NASCAR?
  • Astroturfing has become endemic to reddit. If a given subreddit has more than like 5k subscribers, you can assume someone is probably trying to sell something on it - if not a product then a brand or idea. I hope ActivityPub platforms are successful but not so much that they get polluted with that crap.

  • You could always delete it...

  • Paranormal Recording - Analog vs Digital
  • In the very early days of digital photography a ton of people with 1MP cameras were picking up "orbs" and "ectoplasm" and claiming they were ghosts, but I guess that didn't last very long. Your point certainly holds true today in the sense that if you present a low quality digital image today, people assume it's scuffed on purpose and become skeptical.

  • Joke's on LM, I bought Raytheon shares instead.
    • Raytheon Technologies Corp | NYSE: RTX | 2.42% Annual dividend yield | 0.59 USD Quarterly dividend amount

    • Lockheed Martin Corp | NYSE: LMT | 2.62% Annual dividend yield | 3.00 USD Quarterly dividend amount

    • Northrop Grumman Corp | NYSE: NOC | 1.65% Annual dividend yield | 1.87 USD Quarterly dividend amount

  • Paranormal Recording - Analog vs Digital

    Maybe it's just selection bias, but I feel like there were a lot more alleged recordings of paranormal activity going around back when most video and audio was recorded on analog media, compared to after 2004-2005 when Sony Hi8 Handycams hit the lights on the way out and digital took over.

    Is that because ghosts can slip through the gaps between the 0s and 1s, but magnetic heads force them into the visible plane? Or is it because people didn't have widely available CG animation dulling their imaginations? Or perhaps it's unrelated - did Saddam simply take all the ghosts with him into the afterlife?

    I would love to hear your thoughts, and if you make recordings when you go ghost hunting, I'd love to hear about your gear setup.

    Anybody in Chicago got a Pokemon Gen 1 or 2 save? I need some trades

    I'm playing through Yellow and wasn't able to Mew Glitch myself an Ekans or Jynx. If you've got a Gen 1 or 2 cart and you can spare me one of those, I'd be super grateful.

  • In the grand scheme of things it feels like NAFO creating a psyops counterforce in this war is balancing out 4chan creating the 45th President of the United States

  • How does this instance feel about this growing pact against federating with Meta?
  • They will likely only allow apps and instances which they approve, and which agree to tie into their monetization APIs. Just like reddit should have done with third party apps, if they weren’t run by the stupidest fucking sentient creature on the planet.

    Exactly this. I probably would not have quit reddit if the only change at the end of June was RIF sticking in some ad row every 10 posts.

  • How does this instance feel about this growing pact against federating with Meta?
  • Exactly this. It would be the height of stupidity to create this space/network that frees us from so much of the hyperconglomerate bullshit only to invite them in willingly.
