  • I noticed this too. People like me a lot more when I roast them with confidence, and then laugh in their face about it instead of apologizing or saying “I’m just kidding”. You can get away with saying a lot if you say it with a smile.

    Of course this only works if the other person is smiling too. Be mean with a smile, but don’t drive the nail too deep and attack their insecurities. Gotta find that delicate balance. If you have autism it can be a struggle.



  • In the early 2000s there was this website called dll-files.com or something like that, and every time that error popped up (which happened a lot in the 90s and 2000s), you’d go to that website, download the missing file, and 99% of the time it would fix the problem. These days I’d advise against obtaining random DLL files from the internet but back then it was like magic.





  • Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this as a millennial. Back in the 80s, 90s, and up until around the mid 2000s, technology seemed to make major leaps and bounds into the future every two years. Things were constantly evolving; but ever since HD TV/gaming and Android/iOS hit the scene, it’s like tech stopped evolving and started iterating instead.

    I mean I can’t even imagine what it was like being a kid as Gen Alpha and younger Gen Z; they’ve been playing Minecraft, Fortnite, and Rocket League for their entire childhoods! Meanwhile I saw the evolution from 8-bit to 16-bit to 3D to HD, to 4K HDR with Ray Tracing! Every 3-4 months I was playing the newest hot game! The only exception from my childhood was Counter-Strike, and even then, there’s been several CS titles released over the years.

    Technology seems to have practically stopped evolving. It’s mind blowing when you think about it. I wonder when we’ll finally hit the limits of die shrinking and enter a technology dark age…?




  • I vibe coded an autohotkey script to automate most of my job. It works reasonably well, and frees up enough time that I can now get paid to browse the web. The only part I can’t automate with a vibe-coded script is physically moving documents to the scanner, but if I figured out a way to automate that with robotics then my company wouldn’t need me anymore.


  • Not unless I combine it with caffeine/Adderall. On cannabis alone all that happens is that my mood improves, then I get hungry, sometimes horny, and eventually sleepy. It’s a really mild drug for me, comparable to kratom or a couple of beers in terms of intensity.

    (Also, psychedelic effects like visuals and “trippy” thoughts only happen to casual users who only partake maybe once or twice a week at most.)

    I still don’t get how he got himself into that position. But what* I don’t get even more is why they didn’t try the leg breaking technique because they were afraid of it killing him. They were just like, “we don’t want to risk killing you so we’re just going to leave you here to die instead”. Makes no fucking sense.

    For fuck’s sake, break my legs and get me the hell out of that hole! I rather take a 90% chance of dying over 100%.


  • Yes this only works in the US. No matter what they say, the only words that should be coming out of your mouth is “I would like to speak with a lawyer”. And then close your mouth. Police in the US are allowed to lie to you to get the information they* need, but asking for a lawyer right at the start shuts the entire conversation down before they even get a chance to do so. In the US.
