  I was on 4chan back in '06-'10 or so. Back when it was more people circle jerking about being right wing or blaming things on jews for the bit, to be edge lords. But that’s the thing about doing that - when you do it soon becomes impossible to distinguish the people doing it for laughs and the people who genuinely believe it. And eventually the people doing it for laughs leave, and all that’s left is people who believe it.

  I was just there for memes, porn, and trolling. Calling a specific GameStop and repeatedly asking for battletoads in a thousand ways will always be funny to me. But eventually the shift becomes too great.

  4chan has always been an ocean of piss, but it wasn’t always this concentrated.

  Native slotting into server drive cages. No concerns about alignment with the front or back.

  There was a jump between old early gen SATA SSDs and modern NVMe in my opinion, but it’s really only noticable if you’re running something like a game with a huge amount of data to load, and you’re actively comparing the two.

  My old PC had several different hard drives of differing types and I’d periodically be too lazy to move a game from one drive to another so I’d play it off different drives over a period of time, and was able to compare the loading times.

  So I’d say they’re faster, but it’s nowhere near the leap that HDD to SSD was.

  The Internet becoming algorithm and bot driven was the point of no return I think.

  Most vision problems are issues with the shape of the lens of your eye either causing distortion of the light (astigmatism), or changing the optical focal length of something at a particular distance to something not ideal, causing you to be near/far sighted, or both.

  These contact lenses just insert a new series of optical lenses which cause magnification.

  The other processes would be incredibly difficult as our understanding of how images are processed by the occipital lobe of the brain are limited at best. You might have some success with the cyberpunk method of a bionic which your brain can be taught to control, or genetic modification to change the density and type of receptors on your retina, or the shape of the eye.

  This is just a modern iteration of the book HOLES, and it takes place in a landfill instead of a dry lakebed.

  My gut instinct is that this sign is fake with the end goal of driving outraged calls to the real Lt gov., but who can even tell anymore?

  It’s because if Texas claimed territory above where the northern border currently is, they wouldn’t have been allowed to join the Union as a slave state.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump confirms plan to declare national emergency, use military for mass deportations⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be honestly less concerned if I thought the administration would be successful in deporting people. I think you’re relying heavily on “due process” here, when the reality is they can just accuse you of a crime, deny you bail, and then hold you pretty much indefinitely. You let the ones who can get lawyers out and you’ve pretty effectively filtered the population for wealth.

  The Nazi death camps started as temporary internment camps with the intent to deport Jews eventually.

  Then they just ended up with a whole bunch of people in camps with nowhere to send them and were like, “well, we might as well get some work out of some and kill the rest” and it sort of escalated from there.

  Which with their “camps for the mentally ill, homeless, and drug addicted” and “deportation emergency” sounds alarmingly similar.

  Also the ability of mirror neurons to watch someone do a thing, then conceptualize and execute it with your body is extremely interesting.
