Krusty doesn’t deserve this.

Yeah, by Yahoo… fuckin assholes.

IT WAS SO GOOD! It was better in like 2010 than shit like discord is today.

Would be an incredible product today if it continued to receive development (w/o enshitification ofc).

It’ll almost be like having xFire again!

…I miss that software. IIRC they were bullshit-litigated out of existence.

Sponsorblock

How have I never heard of this?! I just installed it, trialled it on a YouTube video, and it’s instantly one of my favorites.

Thank you!!

When a dragon hoards the people’s gold, the solution isn’t to give it more gold.

Meh, worse case scenario they drive us to extinction. We’ve had the wheel this far, and are doing our best to set the planet on fire / speed run different ways to mass murder each other anyway. I say give the robots a shot.

Think of it like an experimental medication on a terminally ill patient.

Dry needling doesn’t (always?) use electricity. I’ve had it done too, and the explanation I got was that it basically just pisses off the underlying tissue to promote an inflammatory response and thus blood flow to the target area.

Depends on the setting. In a nurse-patient situation, you don’t ever bullshit them in the hopes of tricking them into some kind of benefit.

If your grandpa is raving on Facebook about how acupuncture is working better than opioids for post-knee-replacement pain management, then… “Hey that’s great you found something that works for you!”

YetAnotherUser makes a good point about not enabling a culture of scams or pseudoscience as well.

Discretion is key here.

Yeah if someone’s benefitting from a placebo effect, the worst thing you can do is point out that it’s a placebo. If you convince them it won’t work, then you’ve just destroyed the therapeutic effect their brain was giving them. Just shut up and let the placebo do its thing.

Well no… but also yes!

Sorry, initial post was meant to be more cheeky than anything else: Basically saying AI folks like OpenAI have seriously damaged the quality of Google’s search results, and in doing so established demand for a new search option… and now they’re announcing a competitor to Google.

One foot (google) was shot to shift traffic over to the other (whatever this new shit is). Wasn’t meant to imply Google is in on it… the reddit analogy might just be muddying the waters, but the analogy was reddit as a company to search engines as a category.

It’ll herd users to the new product. It’s like when reddit enshittified its mobile web page to move folks to its app. Both reddit; but they shot themselves in one foot to shift weight over to the other foot.

So all the AI enshittification of Google results was just 4D chess all along!

Neck is the last of that guy’s worries… his shoulder is dislocated as fuck!

Edit - Looking closer, I think his radius and ulna might be flipped too. Yeah this guy’s not having a good day.

Overbooked. This is the airline industry we’re talking about.

It’s better, cuz it’s got electrolytes.

It’s what souls crave!

So like, ice X at 60 gigapascals and -120 °C?

What’s the worse that could happen?

“That’s not piss.”

- Alter boy

the idea of “washing”, or “being washed”, so solid water or water in solids would not count.

You could make a solid (HA!) argument for exfoliative or percussive removal of debris from the kid’s head via scraping or knocking the nasty-bits free via the holy projectiles.

1. Does AWOL mean something other than “Absent without leave”? Cuz that’s a weird way to describe a computer algorithm.

2. …aight so I’m definitely not a theologist, but… according to christianity, or catholocism specifically… is there actually any rule against using gatorade for a baptism? I’d assume it just says “water”, but there’s water in gatorade. Sure there’s also other shit in gatorade, but there’s other shit in tap water too. Even distilled water isn’t going to be 100% pure.

And if gatorade’s cool, where do they draw the line? Could you baptize a baby with honey? Or drop a steak onto the kid’s face (there’s water in those too!). Does it even have to be liquid water? Like what if you just threw some icecubes at the kid, or blasted some steam in its face??

So many questions!
