So did it work?

nice

There's a great mouse trap channel on YouTube, here's the best trap they've ever tested.

I love bunnies and would pet this house plant for doing a great job

Idk I think it's pretty cool

Terrifying concept

I remember reading about a study on chess players that concluded that tournament play experience was almost irrelevant to skill compared to studying theory, doing puzzles and practice play. This seems quite congruent with that.

Honestly I agree that 2002 has more in common with 1996, I think social media was a big game changer. Like in 2002 digital cameras were still relatively novel among the common folk. But I really got into this flexible decade thing as I could find an application that I hadn't thought about before. Behold, my thesis: in music the long 50s is 1947-1962.

It makes sense to start the long 50's before the year 1950 as this includes the first LP records (1948), first black music marketed as rhythm and blues (1948) and the earliest rock'n'roll recordings and bebop recordings. These three genres are quintessentially 50's to me. The music industry had seen large changes following the 1942-44 recording strike with the decline of big bands and the increased prominence of vocalists so giving a couple of years time as a transitional period makes sense to me - either 1947 or 1948 would make sense to me as the musicianship was catching up with technological and cultural changes. I'll choose 1947 as it lines up with the beginning of the cold war - actually let's use the beginning of the world as the dividing mark.

A good endline could be 1962 or 1963 for three reasons. Firstly the British invasion had started then, lessening the US dominance. Secondly jazz lost its mainstream popularity around then and hard bop was no longer as current with increasing experimentalism of the short 60s in jazz to follow. Thirdly and most subjectively, some of the pop music recorded during the 60s but before 1962 really sounds like 50s to me. And laugh or not, to me from the sound engineering side, Big Girls Don't Cry (1963) by Four Seasons sounds more modern than earlier recordings due to how crisp it sounds in comparison. The same sound engineered also worked on Michael Jackson's Thriller, also notable for a similar reason. Besides, Be My Baby by The Ronettes was recorded in 1963 and that sounds quintessentially 60's to me so it seems to me that the endline can not be stretched further.

Lastly for me some of the quintessential 50's things are the US dominance in world affairs, cultural exports and so on, the nuclear age and the cold war. The cold war started in 1947 and escalated to a high point in late 1962 in the form of the Cuban missile crisis. I find it cool when you line up music history with world history and even if the opportunity to do so is just a coincidence, it's a welcome one.

I don't know how to react to this.

I remember when the vaporwave colors had the honor and I stumbled upon those as a thing on Tumblr. Now I'm pretty sure that color is quite close to the background of the flagged note on posts Tumblr has deemed explicit.

Guys, all the clues are lining up!

it is quite nice, but why so much Emacs reference material? Isn't it the time to reimplement it in Go?

Am I the only person here who has never played a collectible card game?

Yeah I agree. Forums were better than that. Also, the "rules" of using the internet as a teen were being discovered at the same time so my hat off to the pioneers.

P.S. One thing I'm sorta worried about is how advertising pressures platforms to segregate between sexual and squeaky clean content. Like obviously something like actual sex ed content will suffer from that and also, could people be mildly horny once in a while in their spare time? In practice it seems like media of conventionally attractive women for male consumption will pass the gatekeepers much better than anything else and anything else is deemed too lewd much more often.

I've only played like one good Scratch game before and it did had pretty abysmal graphical presentation despite being good. Now this was just.

That sucks balls

My condolences

Apparently it's going up again. Anyhow, whether it rises or falls, it's good for Bitcoin.

It was noble, perhaps, but in my book an erroneous one. It's absolutely chock full of interesting stuff, but I didn't enjoy it at all. But I am up for a rewatch.

Tbh I posted it and also didn't care for the title but that wasn't mine.

I have no idea what any of this means

I used to used this site until I found out its code wasn't dependently typed.

The only ideologically pure candidate

Goals

I looked at a stream on YouTube for 3 seconds and it does look like another rpgmaker game.

Tbh UnderTale had a ton of lore and stuff to be fantheorized over and over in a relatively modest package. What happened to the earlier fallen children, Sans' real past, Gaster--and some of it was a bit obscure (the nature of Chara and meta aspects) or hard to get to (like the megalovania fight) so I'm all for extending the canon a bit. One theme in UT as I read it was not letting the fannish obsessions distance yourself from the rest of the world which sort of seems like hard to square with a sequel, but I wanna check whether there's elaboration on that front.
