/baw/ - General Discussion

>>422927
In my mind I think it is good that someone made a new one of these threads.

I'm getting paid annoyingly low for increasingly more complex work at my job.

>>422933
What kind of field is your job?

>>422934
web dev.
started out as frontend for years, but by now I'm only doing backend with no increase in salary.

I'm starting to detest the presence of gods in stories/media.
Its not as if I'm the sort of person who wants to burn religious buildings to the ground and/or mock people who have religious beliefs in real life, but over time I've just gotten sick of these pointlessly powerful gods in fictional stories.

Their presence just detracts from the settings involved or the actions and struggle of 'regular' beings in the plot.

>>422942
Well, that obviously depends on the story in question, but gods can be handled good in a story, as well as used as a stupid plot device.

>>422945
Don't have a problems with Clark himself. He's a good upstanding individual who isn't actually as overpowered as "common knowledge" would say, being there's multiple other heroes and villains who can match or exceed his abilities.
It's only when he falls into the hands of powerlevel wankers or fanboy writers who only care about him being STRONK rather than being a good man that problems arise (or crappy writers who use him as a mouthpiece for their own petty feelings, that sucks too).

Kryptonians as a species are more annoying, when some writers portraying them as unstoppable physical gods that just need to sunbathe for a minute to becomes so. But honestly the bigger problem with neverending comicbooks is the obnoxious Power Creep that grows like a tumor.

>>422945
Supes is the best when writers remember that he's a genuinely good guy, not because his abilities, but because he was raised to be an unselfish, helpful man who looks for the best in anyone.
It's probably why I prefer the 80s Byrne era Superman, who not only had hard limits on his powers (he gets smacked around a lot, sometimes described as needing week long vacations to recharge), but also because he got his powers late in his teens. So he became a good person first, then got powers.

it says speak my mind isnt it

and yet it s not
trying to run each other by racism
good job

The Spectre is far worse than Superman, he doesn't fit in a superhero universe with his bullshit as well as the contrivances that have him inflict monstrous punishment on no name people for their "sins" rather than going after the villains with actual actual atrocities under their belts. If anything he should be a monster the heroes team up and destroy.

>>423053
The spectre only works as a plot device and half the time he just gives the heroes shit.

Watched one video of a dude clearing out the drains on a flooded road (some fucking psycho drivers were driving on the pavement just so their cars wouldn't splash) in order that it could clear up and now my recommended videos is full of water-related shit like this.

Its early morning, just finished shaving after putting off for while. Noticed handful of single moles/freckles on various places of face. Feel pissed off that skin is so impure/marked even though its basically nothing. Hate aging.

The age of science has failed to explain our universe in rational terms. Consequently the power of magic has gradually emerged from our conscious minds to fathom the unfathomable. Our most distinguished scientists reluctantly admit, that mankind is nothing but some billion creatures, sitting on a piece of solar driftwood floating in space.
Magic is the art of influencing the cause of events by the intervention of spiritual forces or some other occult device.
According to Arthur C. Clarke, any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Early civilization often mistook the unexplainable world around them to be magic.
Rupert Sheldrake in his book "Seven experiments that could change the world" has stated that scientist's attitude toward their experiments affect the results of their experiments. There is no such thing as a definite fact in science and therefore the irrationality of magic plays an important part in our rational world.
Werner Heisenberg, the leading 20th century physicist has stated, that mass is a physical interpretation of energy.
Religious organizations have understood the power of magic; and therefore monopolized the interpretation of the supernatural to control the human mind.
The universe as a whole is beyond explanation. Only at the end of the 20th century the roman catholic church admitted, that the great visionary Galileo Galilei was, in fact, correct.

The second millennium has come to an end.

Scientists have to admit that the universe is magic.

F1 opened this weekend, Verstappen was winning throughout nearly the entire thing, beat Hamilton fair and square, despite Hamilton consistently leaving the track on one turn without any repercussions for the entire race.
Then in the last few laps he overtakes him, and GIVES THE POSITION BACK after he was told to do so on the radio.

As if there was any fucking doubt that the entire fucking thing is fixed to have Hamilton winning.

I mean, if one was to theoretically drink her whole, would she survive being pissed out? Would it depend on the species of the drinker/vorer and their digestive biome?

>>423202
That's the CON check.

Happy 1st of April it seems

1d4chan seems to have died. Fuck.

>>423223
I also noticed it being down. That fucking sucks.

The idea of all the oldfag internet content/knowledge of the past slipping away is disheartening.
Even though its an inevitability that one day everything ends and fades away.

Afterall even everything on Earth will be totally gone one day and it'll be only a blip on the surface of the universe.

>>423223
It's still down. There were times in the past where it was down for a week or two, hope it will get back up.

Failing that, let's hope someone has a backup...

I can't fucking stand the new age-restriction bullshit they put on youtube, before you just had to login but now?
I'm not giving them my fuckin card details just to see every video they randomly tag as "age-locked".

>>423397
Wut.
So far I've only had YT do that age restriction shit for stuff tagged as children content.

>>423401
>>423397
They are doing it due to that EU regulation where you have to verify you are an adult to see content that could be intended for adults only.
I haven't had them asking for my card details yet, but I use a google account that's 15 years old so they probably have not flagged me.

Either way you can use youtube-dl to get around it.

Too many goddamn brats thronging the streets screaming their heads off at our shitty beach just because a little sun is out.

>>423426
Yeah but this time they are justified, with how the past few months have been going. Inbetween lockdown and icy hail in April, we sure as hell can use a bit of sunshine.

>>423432
I think they're less complaining about people being outside and more complaining about people crowding outside, particularly around beach-front shops.

Signing into everything again when you get a new computer is a pain in the ass

>>423521
You could get around that by transferring your user account to the new machine (I've been doing that since 2003). The real pain in the ass is that online sites force two-factor logins, so now you have to deal with the
>hi, we detected you logging in from a new device, we sent an email/SMS to confirm it is really you
type of horseshit.

Which you get EVERY FUCKING TIME you use their site if you have a dynamic IP.

>>423522
That bullshit is the only reason I bought a mobile phone, since its mandatory nowadays.

>>423545
Does having 3 balls means you can regenerate sperm faster, and therefore need to ejaculate more often to prevent blue balls?

>>423546
Maybe. The doubledickdude guy said he had extra pressure on his prostate and needed to ejaculate regularly to avoid fluid buildup and pain, so it's not far-fetched to think extra production would require that too. That of course assumes the extra testicle developed properly and is functional.

Diamond jewellery is such a fucking scam that cause nothing but harm to the human race, diamonds should only be used for the likes of industrial/work purposes such as cutting blades and nothing else.

>>423553
nah, diamonds are pretty. The issue is their overinflated value and the stupid status associated with them. As gemstones theyre just fine, very sparkly but I generally prefer a bit of colour. Just raping a piece with diamonds is tacky as hell, theyre best use as a crowning or center piece.

I keep forgetting words I'll try to remember a word for a sentence or whatever and despite knowing it will just blank, sometimes maybe remember other words similar to he one I want to remember and becoming fixated on them.

Earlier forgot the word Mormon entirely, tried to remember it and became fixated on the word Muslim instead and could not call to mind the one I wanted.
Worry about the health of my brain and my memory.

>>423573
It happens to the best of us. Unironically believing the word will come back to you helps to remember later.

>>423573
This happens to me all the time, it's really annoying.

We need more police.
Speaking in a personal country sense with this but they are so undermanned multiple stations have closed.
They do nothing about hordes of drunken teens descending on the area because they don't have the officers deployed to actually confront them, just drive a couple of vehicles around the area to dissuade them.

>>423612
It's not necessarily more police we need. Many arrested people are back on the streets with minor misdemeanour or probation or bail, or even something pathetic like a few years (half of which is dropped for "good behaviour"), and then continue to commit crimes. Over here, we have people who actually consider it a mark of adulthood to have been in prison, because everyone in their community has been there. They don't fear prison and police at all.

We need the juries doing their fucking jobs, then the existing police force will have more time to protect and serve instead of chasing the same hood gangsters again and again.
That or turn prisons into work camps instead of luxury retreats where criminals get free food and housing and a lot of free time.

I've started occasionally addressing hostile shitposters as feminine ("What did she mean by this?") just to fuck with them, after thinking about how imageboard users tend to assume male by default even if we know women also browse, and it looks like another anon has started doing it too with invading /pol/troons. I wonder if it will catch on.

>>423640
It is that we need more police, since I'm speaking specifically about the country I live where we have a shortage due to issues like budget cuts.

>>423643
Go ahead, bitch.

Godzilla fans are some of the worst POWERLEVELZ palmfuckers around, sometimes they seem even worse than dbz fans.

Godzilla ranges from worthless meatsock to unstoppable titanuke depending on the story, and it never fails to get beat up. I suppose Goku and Godzilla are alike.

How badly popular culture and later writers butcher every character and plot detail of the original Dracula novel in their knockoffs or reimaginings is pretty saddening.

There's so many interesting or nuanced details that are utterly warped like a game of Chinese whispers.

In general for vampire fiction fuck anyone who treats vamps as a poor oppressed minority/threatened group that is being bullied by those mean old humans trying to hurt them... 'just' because vampires happen to eat and manipulate people.

Jackass Forever | Official Trailer (2021 Movie)

Jackass is getting a new movie. The crew is now all in their fifties on average.

>>423949
As a White man in Southern Texas, lick my sweaty nutsack.

>>423964
How do you feel about this?
Considering even in the previous one it was just kind of sad. Since not only were they not young men anymore but they were sober so they weren't able to bounce back from the blows they took and weren't able to laugh off the situations.

>>423973
I haven't even seen Jackass related stuff since the early 00s, and even then it was internet downloads of the old CKY movies (some of which were both more infantile and cruel, and mostly shot on handmade cameras, unlike Jackass which was primarily stupid stunts). I've been meaning to watch the last few movies but kept putting it off for no reason. I guess having this one out will be a decent reason - seeing them younger and seeing them now older.

It's incredible how they were all barely 20 when starting out with these videos.

Prove it.

>>424162
>Its been in season for awhile over here
It's in season from spring till early autumn here, but it's in August/September that it becomes the worst. I take hayfever pills for it to block the allergy effects which is good, but when it gets really heavy it makes my nasal fluid darker and sometimes it congeals into small sharp pieces, so if I do as much as scratch my nose, it'll feel like something is piercing it from the inside. I have to blow my nose more often so it doesn't build up. And even though the season is over by early fall, the pollen dust stays in my room and in my system for a month more.

The funny thing is that the place I work at has no ragweed nearby, so it's actually better to be at work.

Whoever christened ragweed as Ambrosia Artemisiifolia was a retard.

If I was the richest man in the world would love to have my own 24/7 medical unit.
Just whenever some strange pain or ailment is bugging me would head over to them and get it identified or sorted right out.

For the past few days have had a minor ache in my stomach that won't go away and am somewhat acidy, was also suffering headaches when it started.
Leaves me just feeling somewhat drained all the time, don't really want to do anything but lie down.

>>424185
This might have been my encounter with COVID.
Pain was all abdominal and didn't touch my lungs but I was out for like ten days and am still recovering to being properly healthy now.

Just having to lie in bed with no energy but entirely conscious of it was terrible, couldn't even sit up and browse the internet the majority of the time because it was as if my abdomen was a lead weight holding down the rest of my body.
And not being able to really eat anything sucks as you expect, but after awhile the worse part was not being able to take a shit since there was literally nothing in the tank, taking shits is amazing I realize now and there was times lying there I was wishing for the chance to go to the toilet and take a refreshing shit.
Much rather experience a common stomach bug & suffer repeated bouts of diarrhoea in comparison, at least you feel like you are getting rid of some of the rot inside you.

Neighbours on the floor above me are fighting again. I mean, the kind of fight where you hear "bitch cunt whore" for a good hour.

That sucks Anon. Reminds me when living at home with my parents.

Ate some takeaway and it must have disagreed with me, got caught with violent stomach cramps in the middle of the street at night. Walking along in the dark drenched with sweat as my stomach churned in pain at each footstep desperate not to shit myself. That was a terrifying situation to be in.

Luckily on the verge of disaster managed to come across a restaurant that was still open and they let me use their bathroom, took awhile before I was able to stand again and continue home.

Many triple-A videogames take up too much space on your harddrive only because the big companies don't give a shit about putting in the effort to properly optimising them. Cunts.

>>424404
It's not that they don't give a shit, it's that they have to include several hours worth of FMVs, and due to nonstop crunch hours, they simply don't have time to optimize things. With AAA games, you are lucky if they are in a playable state at launch - and then they'll get a years worth of updates to make them what they should've been at launch.

That drama on the last F1 GP of the year, holy shit.
It was a great race.

>>424730
>That drama on the last F1 GP of the year
?

>>424731
The two leaders got to the last GP of the season with equal amount of points, so the last race took it all.
Then right around the end, one of the weaker players crashed, forcing a safety car, during which every racer had to line up, and no overtaking is allowed. So cars can visit the pit lanes with no penalty, and whatever lead any racer had is gone. Hamilton had a lead which would've been nearly impossible to beat at this time, but he was on used up tires, and Verstappen took the opportunity to change tires to the type with the most grip (but least life expectancy).

However, despite the two racers being on 1st and 2nd place, there were three other cars inbetween them, racers who were more than 1 entire laps behind. So despite the speed advantage, Verstappen had to pass 3 other cars before he could attack Hamilton, and he only had 1 lap to do so.

The twist was that the race judges told the over-lapped players to pass the safety car in advance before the race could restart, so they don't hold back anyone on what is going to be the last lap of the race.
So the entire world championship was decided on the VERY LAST LAP of the VERY LAST RACE, from a rolling start with both leaders starting from right next to each other. As you can imagine it was extremely tight.

And honourable mention goes to Perez, Verstappens teammate, who did a titanic battle with Hamilton to hold him back up after he changed tires, so his lead over Verstappen was not unsurmountable.

There's been some new change to Youtube and now its become even more obnoxious in trying to recommend me various 'personalized playlists' of the worst kinds of bullshit.

Fuck you youtube.

>>424748
I haven't seen that yet, but I did notice a long ago that for every search I make, about the third result is "(search query) mix" playlist.
It sucks that you can't even see the end of videos due to the forced "recommendation"s. I had to put together an adblock filter to get rid of those.

Anon-sempai... I hope one day things become daijoubu.

Don't worry, life will eventually find a way. Try to enjoy the little things whenever you can. Drinking a cold beer with some company. Or even just looking at the sunshine when it is a beautiful day outside. Don't let the endless work break down your soul.

If you want to, you can post more here too; we are slower than ever but also more comfier, and most of use feel the same about how disappointing 4chan became. And if that's the only thing to keep you happy, we will still be hear 7 years later so you can post again.

>>424757
Most namefags get bored of the name thing, and just embrace board culture. I mean, I sure did on 4chan Prime, years ago. The only reason I do it here is stubborness and wanting to preserve an ancient tradition.

That won't help since we are now packing 3-4 hours of FMVs and voices in 6 different languages into each game. You can only compress that so well without losing quality.

This year just can't stop giving even at the end. I just found out yesterday that my mum has covid. She isn't vaccinated.

>>424877
Damn, sorry to hear that anon. Hope she battles through it.

This is a bitch thing to admit but just got to get it off my chest.
My gran who I haven't seen or talked to in a long time (we don't live in the same city anymore) just called me up awhile ago, since its the holidays and all.
She was so apologetic and her voice sounded so... weak or small, saying she'd send a cheque soon because she wasn't able to send me anything because of all the troubles that have been happening in the world and she was worried about stuff like my benefits money.
I was telling her its fine because don't have any cash trouble and she doesn't need to worry.

I've been feeling really busted up since then. Most of the time I'm what you might call comfortable numb but hearing her voice has got me feeling sad, anxious about her and the future, stuff like that. Not like I'm crying but there's this pressure on my eyes.

She's just trying to talk with you again after so long, but she doesn't know how to do so. This is either because she is really missing you, or she is very lonely, or worst case is she is ill.
Visit her if you can, or at least do like a video chat or something. If she doesn't have a way to do video chat, then use the money she sent to buy a tablet, set it up with skype or whatever the cool kids use for instant messaging nowadays, and gift it to her when you visit.

Fucking Dentist appointment. Get up and get out there at 9 in the morning and turns out it was cancelled all the way back on January 10th and they didn't inform me.
They give me a new appointment and its on the fucking 8th of MARCH.

Rest in peace.
Condolences.

Anti-depressants are fucked up.

You take them because you are depressed, but the fact they can do shit like cause bloating or make you sexually defunct mean you are going to get worked up anyway from your poor body image and inability to enjoy sex/masturbation.

Happened recently. Couldn't remember the word "Phalanx" for the life of me and felt like my brain was cooking in my skull with the effort as it jumped around various words that maybe resembled it.

I'm tired of my old 5.1 speaker set adding a lot of noise and not being able to get high enough volume for movies. I already got some more powerful speakers, but the amp can't crank it up. I'll need to buy a digital AV amplifier.
Anyone have any recommendations? I'm trying to go for the Marantz compact units, since they are very small but have plenty enough power for my room.

Maybe if he was violent then his wife wouldn't be fucking other men, or sleeping with all their son's friends.

Why the fuck have so many websites changed their images to a WEBP file format to try and stop you saving them?
Even wikis do it, why does a wiki for a popular show care if I save their images of the series to my hard drive for later use?

>>425416
WELL ACTUALLY, "webp" is more like a container for the container. It is still JPEG or PNG or GIF, you just need to become a coding wizard to break the original file from the webp prison.

Speaking of, a wiki for a gaming series I love does use WEBP now, but once I refresh the image it becomes a PNG again.

>>425416
It's because most websites measure their performance via google pagespeed, and pagespeed gives you bonus points for using webp. It doesn't matter if half the stuff pagespeed measures is full bullshit, it still gives an absolute score, which makes it a quantifiable value by upper management.
However since NOBODY actually uses webp images, websites use a server plugin that intercepts every access to the file and loads the (cached) webp version, if one does not exist it will generate one on the fly on the first access.

So you open a jpg/png file and the server will
1. check if cached webp exists
2. if one does not exist, convert the original image to webp and copy it to the cache
3. serve the webp file data with webp mime type (even though you opened a jpg/png)

There are browser plugins that will make your browser say "I don't support webp", which will allow you to access the original file.
Also because the web is becoming more centralized, if one site or a popular content management system changes its code to use webp, it can affect thousands of communities, for ex. wordpress, wikia, etc.

>>425417
this is complete bullshit, webp is a differently encoded format, not a container for jpg/png.

There is a G3 strength solar flare hitting the planet right around now.
I've had some luck getting a few things for myself, the way my luck goes, this will probably enough to destroy it.

At least it's not 5G.

I've yanked out two nose hairs over the course of today.

Apparently they might finally be getting divorced over the fallout from the Oscar slapping. Considering the state of their marriage it would be long overdue.

>>425421
Did it actually have any lasting effect at all?

Yeah I hate 'partial' arm rests on pc chairs.

>>425507
That's basically my chair, only cosmetically different, and by a different company.

Good logic.

So I removed the arms but it felt worse without those. My main issue is that every corded device I use will get stuck on the armrests. And all the Bluetooth dongles I tried have issues, they either only work in certain ports of my PC, or have horrible lag, or both. Hell, some aren't even compatible with all games (they make the keybindings go off).

first world problems I guess.

When people say Waffles I can ONLY think of potato waffles.

I am angry. Angry about crisps.

Places have stopped selling single bags of crisps nowadays, everything has started coming in at minimum a "grab bag" which is like a third the size of a party bag of whatever crisps/snacks that are meant to be poured into a bowl and picked at by everyone during a get-together.

People are fat enough, they don't need help by gradually increasing portion-size over time on every shelf.
Presumably it is somehow more cost-effective to the companies.

>>425538
Today's supernatural is tomorrow's highly advanced natural philosophy :^)

>>425935
See, that's to balance out bags being sold emptier and emptier so that the actual amount of chip sold remains roughly constant.

>>425937
You mean they are selling less bags but with the same overall amount of produced slices of potato involved?
Because the grab bags actually do have more in them what with being notably larger.

>>425935
I might be wrong but I believe there's a certain economy to it where the small size bags are more economical to manufacture. They have to fill the bags with a certain amount of gas, to prevent the chips from being broken down to powder from the rigors of transportation, the shock they received in the containers and trucks, etc. Larger bags mean much larger amounts of gas have to be used, said gases may be too expensive.

Now I could be wrong about this, but if the raw amount of chips is the same between two 50g bags and a 100g bags, then I can come up with no other legitimate reason as to why 50g bags are becoming more common. Someone would need to know the bill of materials to be able to tell for sure. Also I'd feel pretty silly if I had to try applying the square cube law to bags of potato chips to confirm this theory.

And you can still just buy a can of springles or the local supermarket (lidl, Tesco, etc) cheapo equivalent, to fill up a bowl. It might even work better since the potato chip cans have larger pieces in them, and less broken down small pieces.

I love Bleach.
I love its ability to kill germs and cut through filth encrusting the home.
I love how it smells.

Got a junk spam email saying that my computer had been infected by a virus and the expert hacker who did it now has used his complete power over the machine to record me via my webcam wanking to internet porn, with the only way to stop it being broadcast across social media is if I buy bitcoin and send it to their wallet.

His malware must be damm good indeed, since I don't even have a webcam on this machine.

>>426090
Yeah, just ignore that, it's a blanket spam. If just 1 out of a million people pays, it'll cover the cost of the mail send and make profit.

also you might consider changing emails, since it looks like your address is in a spam database now.

>>426091
That's logically how it works, cast a wide enough net and you'll catch something eventually.

And honestly I've gotten some random spam emails in my junk folder before, this example is just the most amusing because of how eloquent and detailed it is in being threatening.
Would be more of a hassle to change my e-mail when they can't even get out of the bin and into the inbox proper.

I'm just glad they finally got that telescope up and working. It was an absurdly difficult task and they had to get everything working on first try, because the telescope is so far out that maintaining it is impossible.

The existence of so many galaxies is also incredible, but in my opinion there's so many of them that it is incomprehensible by the human mind. Every square millimetre of the night sky contains billions of galaxies each having potentially billions of star systems. The infrared images also show an order of magnitude more.
Still, it makes for extremely impressive imagery. I just wish they could fix that 8-point shimmering effect, it seems to be a characteristic of the Webb telescope specifically.

>>426198

It gets even more eerie once you consider the expansion of space, which is faster than the speed of light, in other words, there are starts that even at the speed of light we are physically incapable to reach, not even after traveling a billion of years.

That has some bad implications for a girl only missing her arms.

People should read more science fiction; that's been a joke for ages. I remember reading a short story where a dad had to suffer through how boring New Disneyland was because he never got the surgical update for the neural implant he got all the way back in college, so none of the ticket vendors or special effects worked for him.

>>426359
I hope if we live to see the cyborg future it isn't one of those stupid ones like in fictional series where anyone can just remotely hack your brain implants at random.
