There are still subreddits though, they're just called communities

Why share a fake AI image to roast someone? There are plenty of real photos to laugh at

It's the male version of "foid" which is short for "femoid." I've never heard or seen "moid" before, like you say. I would have thought that female incels would be on the side of male incels, thinking that women were the problem, and the reason they couldn't sleep with anyone is because the pretty women are all sluts and taking all the men or something

I don't fully disagree but that was exactly Kira's thinking lol (at least at the start)

I agree with everything except the phantom menace. I think it should be C tier. I love the prequels but when I rawatched them last, the phantom menace stood out as being particularly slow paced and boring

Ah they really had to add "found in North America" so this wouldn't fully work for non-Americans. Love it otherwise

I tried Niagara at first, but wanted something FOSS and switched to KISS Launcher which is similar. It's search-based, like Niagara. My friend bought the Niagara launcher and loves it, but it's not for me

Not very important but I remember it strangely well.

I was 8 years old. My teacher asked "What is one hundred times one hundred?"

I raised my hand and said "Ten thousand!"

"No, it's one thousand. Ten times ten is one hundred, and one hundred times one hundred is one thousand."

"But... It's ten thousand. Can I show you on a calculator?"

"No! Sit down, it's one thousand. I'm the teacher, I should know."

I later got a calculator and showed her and she didn't apologise.

The issue is, in practically, resumes don't have all indicators of race or gender removed.

There have been several studies that suggest that the name on the resume is enough of an indicator of race and gender to let bias creep in. Even on otherwise identical resumes. I'm not sure if we're going to remove names from resumes any time soon.

 

Now that Snapper cards have the 1.5% processing fee on phone top-ups, I did a little math to figure out the cut-off for topping up at a kiosk instead.

Kiosks have a flat 25¢ fee to top up if you use a debit card.

If you are topping up $15 or less, you should top up on your phone (the fee is 23¢ or less). Anything higher than that, you should top up at a kiosk.

The best strategy is to top up as much as you can at a kiosk in one go.

Still delicious

See, these natural chips don't have salt. They have a lightly salted variety and it is delicious

 
 

Whenever I update a package or the system via the Pop! Shop, or downloading a game or updates from Steam, my desktop constantly freezes and hangs. It works perfectly fine otherwise.

I was wondering whether this was common behaviour. It's a bit frustrating because it means I have to pick my moments to update to be when I can go do something else for a while and come back.

If I'm on a Discord call and am doing an update or downloading a game on steam, the freezes mean that my friends can't hear me and I can't hear them.

I've tried Googling it but haven't found anyone with this specific issue yet.

I run a medium-power gaming desktop rig.

Any advice on how to fix or improve this?

Update:

Mine is OOO for Out Of Office. I always misread it in my head like a ghost and it takes me a few seconds to process. It also doesn't translate to speech—you have to say the whole thing.

Interested to see if others have similar acronyms they beef with.

 

Hi, I recently moved apartment and started skateboarding to work. I have a nickel board, so more for cruising than tricks.

My question is: what's the best way to slow down and stop on sidewalks?

I've watched several YouTube videos about different techniques for slowing down and stopping, but they tended to assume an environment with more room and smooth ground. Where I ride, it's a sidewalk with cracks and leaves and changing terrain. It is also somewhat hilly so I really need a way to slow down on sustained (not steep though) downhills.

One of the best techniques I found was called pumping, basically the opposite of pushing. This works well on any terrain and on skinny sidewalks. However, it's really hard on my ankles, and I actually made my right ankle swollen. So I figured I need a better way.

I don't particularly want to use techniques that scrape my shoes. And I'm not sure powerslides are the best idea on the uneven terrain.

Surely there's something better than just dismounting? Do I have to ride on the road to do powerslides?

I would greatly appreciate any and all advice!! I'm quite new to this so anything is helpful
