Reply to happy transgender saturday by

a member of my husband's archery club was disqualified at a tournament last weekend, saying she had to shoot with her birth gender or some nonsense. the judges printed out the brand new policy and handed to her after she shot, we think they didn't tell us beforehand because they didn't want to lose our club and all our individual entrance fees. anyway we're at another tournament this weekend (different org without that policy) and everyone has trans flags now. having a very transgender saturday

the flags aren't our only plan, we're going to be hitting the other org where we can, but it's nice

Reply to warning for psychic damage specifically to devtesla by

my subreddit was called shibe. doge was a good shibe but people kept repeating it until it became lame, and then the final nail in the coffin was when someone made the first memecoin off of it. that was 2013 Lol. it has sucked for so long!

didn't even follow it an inch down that direction, maybe my taste in memes saved my soul? when elon named his department that stupid name I felt nothing and I take no responsibility. I am just a dog online

Reply to Is getting a current-gen Nvidia GPU just always impossible now? by

yeah don't expect to get an nvidia card for months. it's a paper launch, where they technically have cards available for purchase but are so under demand that almost no one can get one. it's not even a scalping problem really, it would be a problem even if they weren't around. the scalpers couldn't get them either.

there's been launches like this before, 2020 was notorious, but this is bad even by graphics card standards.

gamers nexus did a video about it. they can only guess about why nvidia even launched in this state, I think the most likely reason is that they didn't know what the tariff situation would be in a few months so they're getting as many cards as they can into market now, even if it's not nearly enough.

I always get a little lol about how a perl script made by a snooty mac blogger in 2004 is the de facto way to write text on the internet, and every single implementation has its own quirks and bugs. there was an attempt made to standardize it as commonmark but everyone involved was kind of incompetent, and it has never reached 1.0 despite being used by almost every internet user. "fixing markdown" is a quest only for a foolish and everyone agrees it's better broken

Haha you've been markdowneded

If you want to have simple line breaks, instead of paragraph brakes, you can put two spaces at the end of a line

Reply to I want to indulge in dooming. There is nothing wrong with the catharsis of screaming. Doom in this thread with me. by

I took a lit class in high school, and I forget the term they used but there was a unit that was basically all just depressing short stories. Like bad things always happening, there's no light at the end of the tunnel, ending somehow worse than you thought it could get. The teacher made a point for us to take a look at the people struggling in these stories, and how they kept going despite the pointlessness. It's something that's weirdly stuck with me.

I'd like to think I'm someone who would keep doing the next right thing even as all the lights go out. Like I'm on a dying planet just crawling through the muck because it seems like the right thing to do. Or being Kirsten Dunst in Melancholia.

I'm not like an optimistic person but I think this attitude keeps me from really dooming out.
