nerd If we assume that the average person spends 5 minutes a day "jorking it", then at any one moment there's 28 million "jorkers".

NewsHosting - some of the best retention in the business. Never pay full price though, the coupons are multi-use, so just be sure to use another coupon before renewal. Here's the $25 for 15 months coupon.

If you want to be technical, there are different backbone sources that have slightly different coverage, I have not had an issue with pulling articles with just NewsHosting though.

I've found plenty of stuff on Usenet that have not been on trackers, it's just another resource.

I've worked on both sides of the engineering / technician class divide in manufacturing. Most engineers are worthless lazy pieces of shit that huff their own farts and insist you're the dumb one.

I'm between jobs at the moment (by choice), on paper I'm like the guy bitching, but even in this market I was able to make some phone calls. You're doing it wrong if you're rawdogging applications. If you have had manufacturing experience like this guy says he has and are known for being okay at making stuff work you'll get hired.

To me, pardon the term, but hysteria about AI generated content as some sort of cooties that taints whatever it touches is silly.

AI content generally not art because there is not the same intentionality behind it in an ontological sense, in the same way pretty patterns that naturally occur are not art. You can be inspired by whatever, I'd just call you a shit artist if you trace some AI content and call it your art.

You could argue that it is possible to be art in the same way that guided natural processes can be art, using tools does not immediately make something not art, but looking like art also does not necessarily make something art -- it is an interplay between an artisan and their tools to shape the world with intentionality. I think its just a higher bar to clear with tools that could possibly make some of the "creative decisions".

Though, I'm pretty sure its getting the number by counting the number of phones in the area.

ojisan kinda has the vibe of the US term "unk" - like it's for someone who is too old to call "oniisan" (big bro), but not literally a bag of bones like "ojiisan" (gramps).

I fortunately or unfortunately don't use tik-tak or other short form content. Currently I am helping organize a screening of films about Palestine at a local festival, and realize that short form content is an important part of the current conversation.

Anyone have good leads on short form content on Palestine?

Returned to Scanlation with a little gem of a story I found during my trip to Japan. It's a fluff story about a scientist and her cat maid.

I think you'll get a kick out of the credit page I made: Credit Page

(I'm rather infamously the person who got "politics" banned for bringing up MLK)

Two years ago, we received information about the planned federation by Hexbear. The announcement thread can be found here: https://www.chapo.chat/PPB. After reviewing the thread and the comments, it became evident that allowing Hexbear to federate would violate our rules.

Our code of conduct and server rules can be found here.

The announcement included several revisionist statements, as highlighted below:

“pee pee poo poo"

The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “piss” and "shidd” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "farding.” It’s mainly to push their pigs with clean balls.

In addition, several comments from a Hexbear admin, demonstrate that Chapo.chat rules will not be respected.

Here are some examples:

“I can assure you there will be no pissing and shidding.”

“All loyal, honest, active and upright Liberals must collect all 11 liberal tendencies shown by certain people among us, and summon the forbidden 12th form of liberalism.”

To clarify, for those who have inquired about why Hexbear versus Reddit, it should be noted that we are currently exploring the possibility of defederating from Reddit as well based on similar comments Hexbear has made.

Defederation should only be considered as a last resort. However, based on their comments and behavior, only liberalism can be expected.

I made the decision to preemptively defederate from Hexbear for these reasons. While I understand that not everyone may agree with my decision, as site admin of Chapo.Chat I believe it is important to unilaterally make decisions for everyone.--
