General chat thread

why do dragonfruits taste like 90% of the flavour has been locked away in DLC content
Because they suck. Don't eat them.

Sometime before COVID my dad gained an obsession with it and pooping

Ironically it was my dad who gave me indigestion through sheer stress during and after COVID

Kept forcing me to shove apples and dragonfruits down my throat

Took awhile for me to be able to just stop following and yeah, best not take advice from the piece of lard who ceased exercising decades ago

If you want dragonfruit with some flavor, eat the violet-purple ones

If you want to take a dump, exercise, walk around places to stop feeling cramped and/or have genuine friends/company

I've found the best way to loosen my bowels is to make my guts want revenge on me. Any time I eat really spicy food, it's no problem at all because my digestive system wants to set my ass on fire as soon as possible.

Worked for me for a time, but I think my indigestion and being overweight already just made it harder to take a dump after awhile

Most of it was also liquid in shape and texture
 
I have intestinal ulcers, so right there with you on that. I take Fiber gummies (and some C, D, and Zinc) every morning (my evening, grave shift,) along with a shotglass worth of Kefir probiotic stuff (AVOID the strawberry, it's horrible. Strawberry banana, mixed berry, and peach are much more tolerable but still not great, have the water and brownie handy to wash it away,) along with a cup of water, a Fiber One brownie (for more fiber in a slightly less pure concentration,) and a shotglass of pickle juice (helps prevent muscle cramps,) every morning.

I just drink a pitcher or two of water then if that's not enough, start exercising

It unfortunately takes two hours total as I also have to shave, brush my teeth and take a bath


Anybody know anything to prohibit specific sites from my computer without blocking all the porn/hentai? Almost all the apps I find replace my VPN too

I'm not sure what you mean? Do you mean a scriptblocker so you can allow/disallow sites individually on each page? Or just like a regular adblocker?

If you don't want to visit specific sites, just don't visit those sites I guess? If someone else is getting on your computer and you want to limit their access, I'm pretty sure you can just make them a non-admin account and do it that way somehow?

Yes, but just for my iPhone

I use 1Focus just fine

My iPhone's closest equivalent is Screen Time and I can't remember every single hentai site I use to give special exemptions

The apps similar to 1Focus I find in the App Store, for some reason also all come with VPNs which turn off my NordVPN
 

Well there's your problem!

Joking.

Can't help you though, I use android. And I have puzzled out any of that for it because it defaults to Chrome and I know Chrome doesn't like that. I have firefox, but I got so many of my favorites tied up in Chrome that the hassle of transferring it all... eh.

I do most of my porn browsing on PC anyway, phone internet is mostly for reading.

I am more addicted to reading fanfics and the like on my phone than anything else, unfortunately

Plan on going cold turkey a bit again

Hopefully the coming months I don't see the need for this "drug", let's just say a good portion of my stress was family related and how bloody insane they are for whatever academia and news has to say

But since as far as I can tell there's no big world ending stuff to hear for months to years straight again, they won't be using me as their projection-stress ball

I really wish I could read regular books both fiction and non-fiction with the same spread I read tvtropes, fandom and fanfic

isn't that just a single importation button in bookmarks?
 
Watching the 2024 'Salem's Lot and I gotta say, the remake version of Mark Petrie is an impressive fuckin' kid.

New in town and the local bully starts some shit? Throws hands and takes the bitch down.
Gets told that the bully will keep trying him? He guarantees that his hands are ready and he won't take any shit.
Get attacked by a vampire, which wasn't even a thing he knew existed? Fight it off with shit laying around his bedroom.
He then took a short while to figure out who the main vampire must be and what does he do? He gets tooled up and goes to fuckin' kill the vampire.
... it didn't work out great the first time. but he still managed to escape and immediately went to get some holy water and get ready for round two.
Later on though, he easily racks up the most vampire kills of anyone in the movie, plus he kills a "human servant" type as well. He does this with a car.

Kid looks like a nerd but he's got that steel in him no fuckin doubt.
 
I realized today that most of my Twitter feed which is in Japanese because all I use it for is fanart, has shifted so that it's showing me viral tweets from Japan. And... a lot of these seem like nationalistic tweets. How did I get there?

Social media algorithms push conspiracy theories and hate-speech because if those are interesting to you then you'll tend to spend more time on their site and generate more ad revenue.

I've been marking anything that doesn't appeal to my hobbies as 'not relevant' which has pushed a lot of the English stuff away but man, I don't know how Non-english stuff made its way in. I mean just look at the profile of the dude's tweet that was recommended to me.

Hey now I'm not in glorious Nippon proper. I'm an ocean away and digitally connected at most.

Also tangentially related because I brought up Twitter and I've been dying to make this observation.

...WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH ALL THESE INDIAN BOTS HOLY SHIT? A sea of Indian usernames with blue checkmarks that are copy-pasting comments from viral threads. I know they're bots because I really doubt Ramesh Patel is making a dozen posts in Japanese on a Twitter post with 300K views. And there's like a half dozen of these guys I block out of spite before I get tired and back out of the thread.

You know how every scam call you ever got seems to have had an indian accent? Let's just say, there is a reason why near all ISP offer (in corperate speak) the option to geo-block indian ip adresses.

Would you rather:

A. Get Neuralink installed directly into your brain, granting you the ability to interface seamlessly with technology but with the downside of subliminal ads you can't turn off/mute, occasional viruses that give you intense migraines, and slow indoctrination.

Or...

B. Be injected with an experimental tardigrade-DNA serum that makes you immune to intense heat, cold, and radiation but causes you to sometimes spontaneously expel all fluids from your body, shrink down into a ball, and hibernate for four to five months during which time you will not age but cannot be awoken.

The year is 2064 and President Jeff Bezos' Head demands that all citizens (which at that point is everyone who's still alive after the "US" "won" WW3) get at least one of the two procedures.

Well, I'll already be old as fuck by then, so I'll take option 'C'. Suicide attack.

If I die, I die. But I'm dying a warrior's death. And if I'm still as good a shot with a rifle then as I am now (which I probably won't be)... I'll pick off at least one or two important so-called people. Get my name in the history books.

That sounds fucking awesome. I want that right now!

Thank you for choosing Option C! You did indeed die during you ill-fated quest, but we stabilized your body with tardigrade-DNA and managed to bring you back to life! Of course, we had to use a more extreme version of Neuralink on you, for your own good, to keep you docile and loyal, but you're going to be A Okay!

Just remember: the State is Mother, the State is Father!


That sounds fucking awesome. I want that right now!
So nice to have a willing lab ra- I mean volunteer! Unfortunately you had an adverse reaction, your hands have mutated into claws and your skin is now a translucent green. But hey, that was your favorite color right? That's pretty cool!

That is pretty cool. I'll take it!

I'm not conventionally attractive anyway. "Memorably freakish" will work for me.

This sounds awesome.

I'd explore the fuck out of deep space where Prime doesn't deliver, and long transit time is apparently fine because I've got perfect hibernation easily available.
 
Where exactly did the "Ask not for whom the Baja blasts, it blasts for thee" line came from? Memory claims that Baja Blast is a soft drink, however did it end up in a Shakespearean quote?
