Some would say his environs had a rather jaw dropping effect on the man.

Not only are they water soluble and easily washed out... the vast majority of them are also non toxic.

If you get paint on your mask, and it splatters through to your mouth... non toxic. Tastes terrible, but its not gonna harm you via ingestion. Much of the 'paint' is ... basically just food dye.

...

... Also... a whole lot of police... just use paint markers (they are technically, legally classed as 'markers' because they aren't firearms thus are not 'guns')... they use markers with pepper balls.

They just shoot miniature tear gas / skin irritant /eye irritant 'paintballs' as a less lethal weapon.

You can put a whole lot of different liquids inside what is basically a semi rigid gel/plastic capsule.

...

The old devious trick I remember was people would freeze their paintballs the night before a match.

Nowadays, I'm fairly sure if you are caught doing that, you don't just get banned from that field/course... you probably get prosecuted.

... If you do it occasionally, when contextually appropriate... it is funny, a self aware reference to how they spend a lot of time on twitch streams, and are expressing disbelief.

When you do it all the time, reflexively, regardless of context... yeah, that may indicate that that just is your baseline norm for social interaction and you fundamentally cannot or do not distinguish between the contexts of online interaction and irl interaction.

There a whole lot of kids now who are just basically raises from near birth by screens. Parents with no free time or parents who don't give a shit just give the kid a distraction rectangle so they don't have to ... raise them.

I only use the term 'females' in the context of ... some kind of discussion of medical or biological studies ... or to differentiate between a girlfriend and a platonic female friend...

But I am guilty of the whole open fridge and sigh thing.

However.

If I turned around and David Attenborough was physically present, narrating me... I think I would be overjoyed and just try to get him to watch a nature documentary with me.

Or even better, go outside and just continue to be amused at his narration of me, and see if I can't get him to a park or something and see if he switches over to narrating the ducks.

Ok so I haven't used much Spanish since middle school but...

¿Esto es un baño?

Lo siento, no hablo español.

... Are those the correct forms?

He must have been very embarazado about that.

Whelp, thats a whoosh moment for me than lol.

But it does seem like some other people appreciated the info :P

Or, get some third party Hall Effect sticks, and have an enjoyable afternoon or evening of tinkering.

To clarify:

Though the group currently calling itself Anonymous that just published all this ... derives the aesthetics and what not from stuff that arose on 4chan in the mid/late 00s...

They almost certainly have nothing to do with 4chan going down.

4chan was taken down by a group of people that used to post on a 4chan subboard, which was removed... and then they started their own community 'Soyjack Party'.

Which, ironically, is a very similar story as to why 4chan even exists: m00t used to post hentai and loli on SomethingAwful, and then that subboard got shut down, m00t and other frequent posters there got banned, and then they made 4chan.

Like... I stopped using 4chan almost two decades ago now, when m00t made a big announcement post, which later disappeared, stating that as a result of increased media scrutiny and a number of high profile crimes that were connected back to 4chan posts... well m00t said that he was cooperating with the authorities.

I can't prove this, because ... two decades ago, and the announcement was only up for ... less than 24hrs... but yeah, as the SoyJack Party hack of 4chan has confirmed, it was obvious that 4chan was/is a shitshow joke of an operation held together by ducttape and fishing lines.

For fucks sake, their versions of PHP and MySQL were like 12 years out of date and had numerous, extensively well documented security flaws.

Yes but you also just said 'Not true' when I said 'migating an account to another PDS would complicated.'

I do grant that I ... could be interpereted to have overstated the ability of an ActPub user to migrate instsnces... though I did just say 'it would be complicated'.

It is arguably complicated, so complicated it is impossible.

And I did try to make it clear that getting into that level of features/capabilities of ActPub, I was not sure, and that perhaps a lemmy mod or admin could clarify.

I am not saying you said this, but the whole problem here is that a lot of BlueSky users and fans consistently keep acting like BlueSky has all these different kinds of capabilities and features now, working currently...

... when at best, they are planned future features, and at worst, they are an intentionally misleading early access video game style roadmap, with a bunch of super enthusiastic but low technical knowledge early adopters who basically are just enthralled by buzzwords and hope... and those fanboys/girls will just be strung along by promises the devs don't actually plan on ever implementing, because they don't actually have much incentive to... and then years later the early users will either realize they've been duped, or become delusional, hardcore uberfans, bereft of logic and perspective.

I don't even know if such a community exists, or what instance(s) it would be on if it/they do exist... but uh... if one does somewhere, I guess you could submit it?

I am assuming it would follow the basic rule of ... you can't submit your own posts/comments lol.
