Revisionist rats! I did nothing but good for your project, yet you banned me for my ideology in haste! I gave you many chances to unban me, I could have made thousands of edits, yet you rejected me. Now… you have forced me to go THERMONUCLEAR!

I’ve learned that the only people who hate hoxha as much as some communists are Muslims. A century down the line, how do we feel about state atheism?
State atheism is for cowards. We cannot simply reject God from individual states. We must attack the Throne and put an end to God directly. Only then will the horror stop.
MURDER THE GODS AND TOPPLE THEIR THRONES
This isn't, like a joke or anything. I've been cursed with a horrific condition since birth. Most people cannot even begin to comprehend it because it's so alien to normal human experience. I WANT REVENGE.
Christ I'm actually really angry about this. Something believers either do not or cannot understand is that some of the people their God has brutalized and tortured aren't convinced by proclamations of mercy and forgiveness.
God may judge you but his sins outnumber your own
Like this is something I rarely see religious and magic people actually acknowledge or reckon with. If there is a higher power that created all this? Then they did this to me. It's not just random chaos and bullshit. It's a crime. There is a perpetrator and a victim. You're making a profound statement about why suffering exists without reckoning what that actually means for people who suffer. Same thing with magic. If you really can effect the world in profound ways why the hell are you using it for petty bullshit instead of fixing things? Stop fucking around with love spells and strike down our enemies. If you claim to possess that power you are also claiming responsibility for how you do and do not use it. If you really can perceive things at a distance, perceive the future, effect probability, why aren't you using it to fight? If you claim that power and don't have it then you're using up resources that could be used to fight. Either way; What the fuck?
It's not just an arbitrary personal distaste. The claims believers make have consequences. If they're correct then many phenomena go from being impersonal components of a cold, mechanicstic universe to choices made by a specific being from whom justification and satisfaction must necessarily be demanded. If god exists then I want a fucking apology and an explanation.
Today in petty bullshit
For months any post suggesting in the Helldivers sub that the game needed more difficulty, that weapons shouldn't be buffed, that player's problems were rooted in playing a difficulty beyond their ability, or that they needed to engage their problem solving skills, or that god forbid simply staying within sight of their teammates would solve all of their complaints, was heavily downvoted complete with screaming, threats, and accusations of mental illness.
Today. Today. This beautiful, horrible day. Posts saying that the massive reduction in difficulty and complexity over the last two months was too much and has removed much of the challenge and complexity of the game, making it less fun, are receiving upvotes. Upvotes!
My name is Cassandra and my curse is to know what is to come.
Fuck it I might just get a "ὄνομά μοι ἡ Κασσάνδρα, κατηραμένη ὑπό τοῦ Ἀπόλλωνος" tattoo. It'd be my first, but it would tell my story long after I am dead.
university started again this week and man im so fucking over it. the building rots away while the faculty is still pretending like everything is alright, a new year of students studying things that literally no one cares about and for which there have never been fewer jobs available (and even those jobs will be done with AI within the next decade). And this semester I think literally everyone I was on friendly terms with has either quit or gotten their diploma. I don't think I want to do this anymore but what am I going to do, if i am this lonely and depressed while being around people who should have the same interests as me where else am i not going to be even more lonely and miserable
How tf did Alien Romulus get good reviews? I couldn’t even make it to the end. 100% pure slop. It’s even worse than the shit Ridley was making.
Apparently, today is Boss’s Day in the US and employees (lazy, entitled, dim) should show their gratitude to their bosses (hard-working, self-made, genius). Can anybody from the US confirm that this is an actual thing? (Coincidentally, today is also the day Marie Antoinette was executed, if you need some inspiration to come up with a gift )
It's a thing in as much as it appears on some calendars, but I've never witnessed anyone actually observing it. Fake ass greeting card holiday
I have ☹️
Used to be the common knowledge (or at least I was told this a few times) when recording an audio cassette was to peak at or just above 0db on the meters. When playing with some spare Fuji DRIIs however I found that a good cassette can take +3db easily, even up to +6db or above at times, and only peaking at 0 is leaving sound quality & headroom on the table. Now that I look back on the internet this has become the common knowledge on Tapeheads and shit too. People are slamming tons of record level onto these things even on mediocre decks and unassuming tapes, like late Technics decks and 2000s era Sony HFs.
Funnier thing still, I have a couple of my dad's tapes from the 90s, an XL-II and a TDK SA, and they are recorded like that, very cool. I am carrying on the tradition (of committing stupid albums to metallic particles on mylar tape in a lil shell)
For bonus comedy, the tapeheads people who used to shriek about chromes and metals, who are the reason I couldn't really buy XL-IIs, are now yapping about how actually Type Is are just fine almost as good as TDK SA!! Lmao.
HxH has a sort of higher-tech One Piece vibe to me thus far (at the very start). Kinda feels like Togashi looked at Oda and was like 'yeah I could do that'
Very different in tone down the road.
fuck landlords
fuck cars
if i build a place for hobbits to live is that a hobbitat

Learned about Dilawar of Yakubi from r/newswithjingjing today, from there looked up more and saw this incredibly compelling (and none of it inaccurate nor exaggerated when you look at the actual testimonials/court records etc) article: https://natcath.org/NCR_Online/archives2/2005c/081205/081205z.htm
It's just another example of western barbarism as usual, but I think it's important we all remember each and every one of these victims, and similarly also remember all the perpetrators. If humanity can forgive without first ending the threat of the western imperialist system, or if it can ever forget, we will be doomed (as someone whose own family history involves such forgetfulness). The majority of the world has a history of this, and this (forgetfulness in part) too...
IDK. other than that maybe I need to hop off hexbear and the grad for a few days, and YT too. Probably won't lol... I touch grass and socialize IRL (sometimes pleasantly surprised, sometimes very much not) but even then it's a sort of feeling like the world is closing around me (or us all).
Minecraft is like skyrim bad.
Its so frustating how mainstream anti immigrant/refugee sentiment is, like "not terminally online" people more often than not are hitlerites when it comes to immigrants.
I wish I could scream at said hitlerite freaks IRL (haven't actually met any, not a burger). What kind of society do you run where taking in more people isn't a productive and cultural boon? Are you not a modern, industrialized country? You seriously are afraid that people are gonna come to work for less money than the white people earn?
Anyone here go to grad school while working full time?
I'm thinking about maybe one day doing it when I save up more money but I'm worried about feeling overwhelmed
I'm currently working on a computer science masters degree while working full time. I've been taking one or two classes a semester each fall and spring for the past few years. I'm largely able to do it because I work a cushy WFH computer toucher job that also does tuition reimbursement, am going to a state university not far from me, and have all my classes scheduled at night. Even then, some semesters I got so overwhelmed that I needed to withdraw from some classes and take them again when I'm not drowning in stress.
I would only recommend it if you are in a stable place both schedule-wise and financially.
I dont work from home but my job is pretty flexible with when I can come in and leave and they do have tuition reimbursement.
Do you feel that you "lose" information from the classes you took earlier? I'm worried if it takes me longer to get the degree ill struggle with retaining the information.
I am not sure it is possible in terms of hours per week. There are part time programs, but that assumes you work part time as well.
Id only be able to do part time grad school (in microbiology or something similar) while working full time
I know someone in my department who also worked full time got their masters but they left and I never got to ask how they made it work
It's gonna depend on the type of grad school. A professional master's may have programs designed to do that. A PhD is often close to a full time commitment. A law degree or MD is designed around the students comitting full time to the degree.
Definitely not thinking about a PhD while still working
Starting to think I should give up on the idea until I'm more stable in my career but I'm worried if I wait too long it'll be too hard to get back into it
Try to get an assistantship. You'll get a stipend for teaching or other campus work and they cover your tuition.
I've thought about those options but I'm autistic and don't think I can handle teaching.
I used to grade papers for a teacher in high school and could totally do something like that but actual teaching while masking would be overwhelming
It's surprisingly easy, for starters your first few years would be mostly grading. Other duties are homework help setups (you go around, get a direct question, give a direct answer, there's not even time for other interaction), and eventually running tutorials. For tutorials, there's a bit of back and forth with the class, but typically it is picking a few interesting problems and walking the class through them.
