Guess the Episode [Hard]
  • Se12Ep2 - A tale of two springfields

    The scene is when Homer dials a familiar phone number and is met with a message telling him his number cannot be completed as dialed.

    Here's the scene

  • Why should we have to continue seeing people's replies when we block them?
  • If I block someone, I want to see [blocked] instead of what they are saying. I want to receive no notifications for this. I should be able to view what other people in that comment thread are saying. I should be able to toggle the ability to read these people's replies, but not reply unless I unblock.

    They can still see my shit. That's fine. Just stop making me see theirs in my inbox. And stop blocking the rest of the conversation where other good folks are continuing to discuss something I was interested in.

  • US election: why more men and fewer white women say they will vote for Trump.
  • There are very few more quotable humans to have lived.

    The successor to politics will be propaganda. Propaganda not in the sense of a message or ideology, but as the impact of the whole technology of the times. The politician will be only too happy to abdicate in favor of his image, because the image will be much more powerful than he could ever be.

    If that wasn't the basis for the Black mirror episode, the Waldo moment, I don't know what was.

    Then we've got my personal favorite, which isn't quite as relevant here:

    Anybody who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn't know the first thing about either.

    Was also famous for saying

    We drive forward using only our rear view mirrors

    And perhaps his most quoted quip

    The medium is the message

    Which I don't think was clear to people what he meant until, probably, the advent of the personal web page.

  • US election: why more men and fewer white women say they will vote for Trump.
  • Wanna see how scary it is?

    Spin up a VM.

    Make a Google acct and a tik tok acct and an insta acct.

    Scroll on their vertical video feeds for like 1 hours. Don't like or comment on anything. Stay on each video for the exact same amount of time.

    Oh my would you look at that, it's Jordan Peterson, Andrew Tate, Ben Shapiro, Matt Walsh, Joe Rogan, Tim Dillon, Alex Jones, Tucker Carlson, and all kinds of other totally level headed folks.

  • Spanish MP: Gaza looks like Nazi gas chambers
  • Okay so over 1 year on average, 68.5x or 37.5x more deadly.

    Now what is the population size and proportion difference?

    If it's in the 37-68x range that's a relative match.

    Edit: my numbers are coming out to WWII was ~1.20x deadlier when we account for total population deltas.

    (About 63% Jewish population displacement year over year in WWII vs ~53% Palestinian displacement in the last year)

    I may have made errors, but I think this is fairly accurate.

  • I wish I was this funny..
  • It isn't just professors. It's people mentioned in the rsx paper. Usually masters students.

    I have never denied someone who has emailed me a free copy of the literature I've been cited in. Nor have any of my colleagues. We don't get paid when people buy it, so fuck em.

  • Oregon police department invites people to play ‘Hide & Seek With a Cop.’ The response was swift
  • Will any of the cops seeking have a Phillip Brailsford style "YOURE FUCKED" engraved in their gun's sights while doing the seeking?

    Sorry guys. You can be the best folks in the world, but while you share an emblem with others who protect evil like Phillip Brailsford, you're evil like Phillip Brailsford. Until all y'all wearing that emblem can condemn those in your ranks as quickly as those who don't wear that emblem condemn them -- you're evil simply for wearing the emblem.

    Police badge, swastika, I see no functional difference, emblematically. ACAB.

  • Weww lawd he's a coming
  • By far the best 9 months of my life was from Feb 2020 through Nov 2020.

    Happiest. Least stressed. Most productive. Healthiest. Everything. No fucking traffic! Peace! Quiet! My God... Take me back.

    I got laid off a month and a half before the pandemic, so I was getting unemployment right when everyone was saying the systems were overwhelmed. And right when they were overwhelmed, I started getting the covid bonus. It was the most money I'd ever been making at that time.

    I was hiking basically every day. Studying every day. Making my own meals instead of eating fast food...playing music basically every day, started a business after 8 months or so (that capitalized on companies laying off employees to contract out a remote worker using PPE funds). My drinking was at a minimum.

    My weed smoking probably increased. The only negative. It was only due to free time increasing and responsibility decreasing.

  • Lost Souls - Childhood Died --- hilarious.

    people should know about Pete Davis

    I'm approaching 40. I've been all over the internet my whole life. Mostly a metal head. I love me my prog rock. I love my folk, and a little indie here and there.

    I won't give away too much, but if you know where I know this music from, give me a shout. I'm sure some of y'all are out tofu aware out there.

    Pete Davis never got the fame he deserves in this genre. Maybe Foss platforms can give a hum le ho ie a signal boost. This is his most popular track with a band from cages ago, but peep his shit. He deserves it.

    Anyone Else been following the countdown at blackmesa.com?

    The bottom of the page there is a countdown that will expire at midnight Eastern standard Time tonight.

    This company claims to be in Boston. They've received federal grants. I've done a small amount of digging, but it would be entirely within valves resources to set up such a company. They have a LinkedIn, but it doesn't really seem like anyone really works there? It seems like a viral marketing campaign.

    There was a Reddit thread. A while back. Some people noticed classes in the HTML that referenced other half-lifey things. But, some people in that thread shut it down as nothing out of the ordinary.

    Then, there have been recent leaks with regard to a new game being developed. Someone found a resume suggesting that a person had done voice-over work for an unreleased project with Valve in 2023.

    There was also a leak of some files with .hlx file types, and I guess prior to the half-life alyx release some .hla files leaked.

    In the .hlx file leak, I guess there was found references to things like the EV suit.

    Here's a YouTube video that touches on all of this.

    midnight club: the unsung hero of arcade racing.

    This is an appreciation thread. All 4 games are iconic to me. Way underrated.

    To me, midnight club is everything need for speed wanted to be. Need for speed had a few hits and many misses. Midnight club was 100% hits. And they aged incredibly. They're still fun as hell.

    If you never played and you dig arcade racing games, go play. It's an open city racing game. Variety of racing types, endless challenges, and really great mechanicsi just wish it was as.pophlar as it deserves to be.

    Worse and worse

    Anyone else getting worse and worse service with chat gpt?

    I am getting repetitive incorrect and lazy answers and then rate limited. Idk what I'm even paying for at this point. It's happened the last 5 times I've used it over the last week or so.

    Am I alone?

    screen blackout, app still functions.

    Im on a galaxy s22+. This started happening the same time the upvotes downvote buttons started to glitch in the UI which I have also posted about.

    This issue is more annoying. When I am mid response, I'll often leave the app to get more accurate info in what I'm trying to say. When I come back to Lemmy, it's all black. Nothing. But my button presses are still registering.

    If I go to the app switcher (bottom left android button) thing, and reselect Lemmy, it fixes and the display returns.

    But if I react by pressing the back button, I lose my response, I lose the post I was responding to, I sometimes can't even relocate the thread I was in easily.

    voting buttons bug

    I need to hit the upvotes and downvote buttons twice on the main page.

    It will flash it's color as I press on press 1, but then quickly revert. On second press, it behaves normally.

    Tom Brier sight reads Super Mario World Ending Theme - incredible ragtime improv

    This guy was something special. Not too many prodigies can improv like Tom Brier. Someone posted Nyan cat the other day and it reminded me of the incredible body of his work.

    This guys relative made this YouTube channel when he realized Tom could play anything and turn it into a full length song ad libertum, AND that he was incredibly out of touch with pop culture. Most of the time he is completely unfamiliar with the song being presented to him. You can tell how much he enjoyed this song by his enthusiastic laugh at the end 😊

    Guy sadly was in a bad car accident in 2016, and can no longer play. These videos just make me cry now, but God damn does this mean deserve keep being found and revered.

    feature request: custom feeds

    Right now there are three feeds available to me, that, as far as I can tell, I have minimal control over.

    It'd be rad if there was a way to add feeds, and for each feed, be able to manually select communities I'd like to see.

    This would be great for news, porn, sports, pornography, adult content, and so much more.

    Your Personal Metal Deep Cuts

    Last week we had a great thread about metal without growls. In reading suggestions, and conjuring up some of my own, I re-realized a bunch of stuff.

    I wanna see your top 3 metal deep cuts.

    What do I mean by deep cut? I mean the formative shit. The stuff you found and loved along the way but lost track of, that when you revisit you go "fuck what happened to these guys?" The ones that helped guide you but fell off the face of the earth (or just your radar).

    I'm hoping for the 'genius at work' designation to represent the most difficult, but solvable, stills.

    I think by guahing where y'all have been at, this might stump you, but there is enough info. Prove me wrong and the category gets forever more difficult!
