That’s not true. Groups of people can work towards specific goals in a constrained framework and still work creatively within that. Take movies and TV, animation, architecture, music etc. All of these may have hundreds or thousands of people working together and individually behind the scenes. Would you say that therefore they’re not creative or relied on creativity to work?

I know people say that limits kill creativity but I’d say in many cases its the opposite. Limits cause people to think creatively to build something interesting within those bounds.

Not to say thats the rule. Sure, hive mentality and groupthink can kill creativity but its not the case for everything, far from it.

Are you sure you didn’t accidentally pick up HYPER-allergenic pillows?

Content never really dies, it’s just recycled to lower and lower resolutions.

Drop has a very nice 9 key macro pad called the Nin-doio. It’s a macro pad that’s made to closely mimic the GBA! It’s pricey but it’s really good build quality and very very cool.

“I would fight fascism to my last breath” “I would be part of the resistance movement if a fascist government took power”

proceeds to do none of the un-sexy things needed to prevent fascism from taking hold in the first place

“Rats is chugging along in second when he should be cruising in fifth”. I’ve had countless reports like that but that one stuck with me, probably for being so much more creative than the others.

I think it was the year following that report that they stuck me on my own desk facing a corner so that “you won’t keep getting distracted by other students”. I guess that teacher just really liked euphemisms. At least I always had a set of stationary for myself lol.

No, sudden illness I’m afraid. He arrived in hospital a few days ago for pneumonia like symptoms. poor bugger fell out of a window twice.

Tiktok lite is a slimmed down version of tiktok. It is optimized for slower internet connections and uses less memory.

It enables users over the age of 18 to earn points that can be redeemed for vouchers or gift cards.

“seriously wormtongue, you need to go outside more often”

Not to mention they require high end hardware to run due to lack of optimisation. Many people can’t afford top end shit and with emulators becoming lighter and easier to run, retro games just become super accessible.

Even Wii emulators such as dolphin can run decently well on a bog standard phone and with the state the mobile game market is in, Wii games are just universally a better option.

The fallacy fallacy

Just because an argument contains a logical fallacy doesn’t mean the argument is necessarily incorrect.

An example:

Person A: This food is better for you because it’s all natural

Person B: appeal to nature, therefore you’re wrong and it’s not better for you

The food may well be much better for you but person B has assumed that the opposite is true because person A has used a logical fallacy and has themselves fallen into a logical fallacy.

I just click one square thats wrong then unclick it. Seems to work almost every time!

Slight tangent, but if you want to pass the “click on all the images with traffic lights” first time, select one that’s obviously wrong then go back and “change your mind” computers don’t do that and 9/10 times it’ll pass you first time!

D-lock through the drive wheel and frame, steel cable though the d-lock and front wheel, steel wire though a closed metal ring/railing. I’ve used this technique for yonks and never had so much as a wheel stolen.

You don’t need ultramax security unless you’re locking it up outside at night. Deterrence is plenty good enough to stop people from snipping and running.

Excellent rule to live by! Lots of people doing little things makes big changes. It’s always worth doing the little things!

When is new York not in peril lol? I’d love to see a film where an alien death fleet is spotted heading towards earth and America prepares the full might of their military response only for the aliens to invade Ipswich.

To clarify, this isn’t a criticism of the film, I just think that would be great!

Negotiable…

I’ve always liked “universal soldier” by Donovan

I’m one of those weirdos who actually really likes using a smaller keyboard so I’ll give you a few reasons I like smaller keyboard and a few why I don’t like larger ones.

First of all, desk space. I have a very small desk so not having the numpad makes for a lot more space for my mouse.

I also find when gaming that my arms fall at a weird and uncomfortable angle when I have the keyboard and mouse at a comfortable distance apart.

I don’t tend to use the numpad, or 9 key cluster above the arrow keys very often so the ones I do use (delete, Pg up and Pg down) are just mapped to a new layer. My board is ortholinear so I’ve also got the numpad mapped to a layer if I ever want to use it.

The function row is also re-mapped over the number row with the - and + acting as 11 and 12 because I very rarely need to use a function key and a number key at the same time or in quick succession so theres no need for the seperate keys.

I don’t program much but when I do, I’ve got all the relevant symbols labelled with their layers on the front of the cap so they’re not hard to find when I need them.

I’m also very much not a tidy desk person and I do a lot of my hobby work at my desk so having a nice small keyboard I can cram wherever I can when I need it and just move out of the way when I don’t means I’m not always shuffling stuff around my desk to make space for this huge keyboard.

Overall however, I just really like the look of a nice, small, compact keyboard with everything I need just there. It’s visually nice to have a uniform block of keys with no gaps, no larger or differently shaped keys, and that’s just not something a larger keyboard offers me.

I can absolutely see how this sort of thing doesn’t work for most people because there is an element of having to re-learn muscle memory and such, but for most people that have tried it, they seem to find that when it works, it works very well!

When I was in secondary school, I basically did exactly that with a random flash drive I found in the park. I’m blaming my school for never giving us that network security talk lol. Fortunately nothing came of it and it was a pretty boring flash drive but still. Would never ever do that now.
