Geometrical object. Not legally a person.

  • Just gotta be on the lookout for unusual segues, people who are open to them, and their general energy level. I don't know how to get better at it.

  • Okay but imagine how much time I can save by completely shutting out local politics and skedaddling. My best option is that Sawant lady. She would have purged me from her campaign before if she knew my beliefs and I would not have been there if I had a clue. The whole underpinning of the US political system is going to shift.

    I barely know what it going on why was I helping Trots months ago I didn't even k kbow what those were really outside of icepick memes.

    YEAAAAAAAH BABY

  • He should have asked me for money goddamnit I have no idea where that guy is now.

    That seems like a major benefit of sticking with this track though even if it makes no economic sense, and maybe it does, I don't know, that's why I ShittyAsked. So far, I don't get burnt out on it easily due to picking up projects methodically on a schedule, I enjoy talking to people about these subjectsl, and "overstudying" for things feels good because nothing is really discarded.

  • The most fun part that can be easily narrativized would be meeting other people on the campus who I strike up random conversations with, and things just spiral into a multiple hour discussion of programming or homelab shit. For instance I made a joke about cigarettes vs vaping to this guy in the smoking area, he started talking about Phillip Morris, we started talking about herbicides (that plus the treatment process modern tobacco goes thru to make it more addictive and tasty, being ammoniated, makes it really unhealthy even compared to blasting your lungs with tar alone), which led to discussing Monsanto, the Veiled Prophet Society in St. Louis, the Vietnam War, censorship in general, and after I made sure he wasn't a libertarian (he is, he just doesn't know that), he started telling me about Jellyfin/Jellyseer and we exchanged information. Hit him up and he's running a very impressive piracy operation. Oh also he hates Matrix. Get with the times people.

    Then there's this TA who I was working with on some shit and he said something about Russia so we started discussing that and before I knew it I was at his house drinking, he was trying to make me watch some Chinese adaptation of Journey to the West, and he got me to read a textbook on pure logic which was indecipherable, because I was somewhat drunk. Which actually I have in my bag but I haven't been reading, for shame. In terms of actual skills I get the most out of scripting stuff that used to require me clicking around, unifying all texting platforms including SMS and email in console so I don't have to go around looking for them. I have joined as many online groups related to stuff like Invidious as possible and a few close-knit projects for scraping news related to geopolitics and software. Was considering getting some hardware for server stuff but everything is expensive. What else is new.

    There's been way more fun shit than that I just wrote enough. I talked to a cool programmer from abroad in a parking garage for like 6 hours before he was like oh yeah I'm homeless. Which made sense because who else would listen to someone talk about computer shit for that long. Well there were breaks, and the weather was nice, but I am really kind of oblivious. I hope he didn't think I was gay or something.

  • Well the uni I plan to transfer to has a very low rate of acceptance for CS so I feel like I am dooming myself. If IT has a smoother track or more demand sure, but is there actually going to be this huge buildout of tech infrastructure in the United States?

    Like let me lay out how I view what makes a degree worth it, since I am still early enough that I have not fully committed to any one track.

    Likelihood of finding a transfer degree that won't be what e/acc demons refer to as "an antisignal" » job market prospects of said degree (not based on salary but on gaining valuable experience for the following) » transferrability and competitiveness of those skills to industries abroad.

    If you become an electrician for example you have to spend a gajillion years in all these contracts and when you're done your skills are targeted at standards in one country.

    My reasoning being that if I fail to escape Southbound Tales in Real Life then I at least have a chance of survival. It wouldn't make a ton of sense at this point to shoot for something risky that makes a lot of money to slingshot that into a bunch of asset wealth. I hear the oil fields might be on fire soon? Last time it constituted most of the oil well fires in history, one fell swoop. Or even if you do get everything together, have a family, have a kid, what are you really setting them up for? A public school system that is increasingly being ripped apart by the Heritage Foundation? What is the solution? Vote?

    Also I guess a side thing but would you say you use IT skills in your personal hobbies at all? Because that kind of stuff is nice to have even if you fuck up your life. Then at least you have something to do while doing fuck all right

  • I got 96% even tho my study buddy ABANDONED me so I'm going to be more arrogant from now on

  • Shitty Ask Lemmy @lemmy.ml

    Hey can you guys help me cram for a test? You've wasted ungodly amounts of my time (which is not my fault in any way btw)

  • Movie News and Discussion @lemmy.ml

    The ending of Dario Argento's Inferno is baffling to me. I love the prog rock don't get me wrong. The skeleton outfit rules. It's good corny. Why doesn't she just kill him tho? Bullshit

  • I wonder which countries don't have AI labs that do this 🤔 ah well I guess we just have to reject the new tech completely since there is no way of knowing

  • What the hell does this have to do with ai man this image is from like 500 BC

  • Dawg that is simply not what God means in this question. I failed to communicate with anyone in this thread. We'll come back to this later after I pass this quarter, literally. I currently have literally 120% in my classes so consider yourselves all due for more confusion.

    Ah well, I don't know what I expected. Spinoza could have been ripped apart in the streets for articulating this correctly.

  • Yeah I think I tanked my score by going neutral on the ones with dumb phrasing. Oh well. Maybe I can get some extra credit later in the quarter

  • Ah sorry didn't realize this was a dupe, I just saw this article on twitter and felt clever for a second

  • Ohhhh wait that makes sense because they say sneed when they use the Lawnmower Man wojak. Who in the movie is a special needs person who gets uploaded into a computer a supergenius. I hate this etymology so much. Impressive.

  • I genuinely had no idea what the fuck those meant. I thought saying hon was just a condescending feminine pejorative for fools. Like you're talking to a kid. Very cool on my part to ignorantly blast a bunch of people with dysphoria

  • That's fair I put more effort into growing shrooms than food I must be dumb

  • Would it be a stretch to say that people like Erdogan are in the international version of the petit bourgeoisie? Constantly trying to find a mystical third path between capitalism and socialism, or in this case between imperialism and true internationalism, which is not-so-secretly just fascism and getting merced by the next biggest fascists.

    The UAE even has pretensions of supporting the third world if you talk to the right stans, who are all completely delusional and barely know what words mean. They want to wriggle out of the deal they locked themselves into. That's more like a health condition within the same entity that a polar opposite entity.

    Dubai & Davos would already be delineated by the chudwoke axis within a framework that acknowledges this tug-of-war. They don't need their own for the memes.

  • It's literally heartbreaking to see someone attempt to integrate this

    into a quiz and situate it as diametrically opposed to Davos. No it isn't. That's not true.

    The most charitable possible interpretation would be first world liberal internationalism versus semiperipheral (am I using this term correctly?) compradors trying to gain security in a system that needs them on edge. That's definitely not what they mean. I only know one guy who talks like that and I barely get what he is saying.

  • I like the bent of it, this concept is almost approaching an actually useful quiz, but then it's just trash, which I love even more. I'm guessing porn is woke in this quiz. My confidence is not shaken by this chudscore!
