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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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.

This is going to be a long blog post. I apologize.

Last I posted regularly on plus4 was when names were more popular. I remember Bea the bear, Anonymoose, pablo, tooth, Tiki, Bones, Twister (who I see is still around, hi Twister) and some others. This was like... 7-8 years ago. I was still a lonely college kid. Having names posting made me feel almost like I had friends, i guess these were parasocial relationships but I didn't know that then. I used to post little shitty stick figure blog comics in the SYM thread

Since then, I graduated college. I got into a relationship. I gained a lot of friends, some of which I thought would be friends with forever. I moved out of my parent's house. I got a job. I lived with my partner in a city far from our homes. Some of our friends fucked us over. We got married. My dad died. My mom went crazy and became a teenager and decided she didn't want to be a mom any more. Our friends scattered around, or suddenly had families.

Now my spouse works 12 hour nights and I'm alone 4/7 days of the week, just like when I was in college. I work remote so have no office interactions. I have no friends any more. I am basically a shut in. I used to do /toy/ photography and post it on 4chan. Then I tried doing an insta account but one on insta liked my photos as much as anons on 4chan. Now 4chan's culture is so different from how it used to be and I feel like pic related when I even just look at screencaps from it.

I am back where I was in college only I don't even have my parents around. I don't have 4chan to post on any more because I've moved past it. Instead I have wrinkles and health problems and bills.

I will take my leave of plus4 again. Maybe I'll post again in another 7 years

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.

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.

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

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.

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'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.

I just remembered this place exists. I was Chaplain, but I've had a lot of names a lot of places. It's been, something like 8 years since I've been here and maybe 4 since I really stopped going to imageboards with anything close to regularity. I was watching a youtube video on my break at work and saw a tumblr post from Gentleman Bones of all people being read aloud.

I wish I had some non-shitty stuff to tell people, or stuff I could say I was proud of in all that time, but mostly I've gone from scrambling to survive to leading a boring but stable life and writing smut. And I've found that I don't really like any sort of mass attention. I started writing stories to entertain my friends, posting them to my profile on various furry porn sites for them to read. And people would see them and they'd start showing up on the big thing that meant a few hundred or over a thousand people had read them and hundreds would favorite them and they'd get a handful of comment. And it would make me panic. Like a lot. So I deleted my gallery. Now I just send the stories directly to my friends. They say they like them, but some part of me thinks I could write anything with a sex scene and they'd say how good it was because that's what fetish friends do. You can't really afford to alienate anyone in small communities like that.

I got diagnosed with bipolar disorder and C-PTSD, which isn't a fun combination. I vaguely remember coming here after getting a depression diagnosis and then dropping my medication because it was giving me problems. I also remember a lot of nights spent coming on here after getting beaten into unconsciousness when I was just sixteen or seventeen, crawling from the middle of the dining room floor to my room and posting things here to cheer myself up. A lot of really cool people went here, and I was happy for how positive they'd be to me. Everyone else in my life was a responsibility, my internet friends were a joy. I haven't drawn my little avatar guy in a while, so I'm going to do that now, I think.

MSPaint has changed a lot, but still not a lot, y'know?

The only people who have given me constructive criticism are the ones who I'm sending stories too now. My favorite bit has been that generally speaking, people read around 100 words a minute, so sex scenes around 1500 to 2000 words are ideal, depending on the foreplay leading up to it. And it worked.
The best I ever hear from internet strangers essentially amounts to "it would be better if you went deeper into my fetish and forsook everything else in the story." Which is a take, I guess.

And my life is far better than it was, it just isn't what most would consider a good one. I guess I'll post about that stuff later.

The AVR I got started acting up today. Randomly after some time it just cuts off all sound and replaces it with occasional low frequency chirping. If I turn it off then on, it works as normal but does this again in seconds. If I turn it off for longer, it will take longer for the issue to start again.

I put small heatsinks on the HDMI board ICs, that seems to have lengthened the time it can stay on (so it's most likely an overheating issue), but it still turns the sound off eventually.

Done a full factory reset after that, if that still doesn't work, I'll try adding a mini fan, and if that still isn't enough, I'll have to get a new AVR. fuck.

I've a feeling that the politics thing is specifically fanned by people who are unable to talk about anything else. Take twitter for example, once Elon booted the content moderation team, the algorithm started taking over and for example in Japan the most trending hashtag changed from politics to mecha and video games.

Of course it's also a self-feeding cycle now, since every goddamn show or music has some political agenda in it. For example, over here all diapers have black or half-black babies on them.

Yeah look I'm gonna need a graph, because that sounds like harmless-tier semantics, but it's also good to check we're not talking monarchy tier convergence here with multiple generations of inter-breeding.
see: co-efficient of inbreeding. An immediate relative is [typically] 25% (1/4) chance of identical alleles, while a half-uncle or cousin is already down to 6.25% (1/16), apparently a fifth-cousin is 0.78% (1/128). I can't find meaningful human statistics but it looks like for dogs and cattle they aim for less than 5% so I think it's probably just semantics. You're not even close to potentially screwing a first-cousin, I'd call anything beyond a second-cousin a fun fact.

Also, cover yourself up a lot so you are sweating. I usually drink hot tea since it's both a lot of fluids and it heats your body up.
If your lose your appetite, drink a little fruit brandy, preferably clear ones with no extra spices and high ABV (38-60%, or 80-120 US proof). It will help both with your appetite and with your sore head, but don't overdo it, no more than 30-50cl (about 1-2 ounces).

get well, anon.

Okay I've partly recovered but now my throat is giving me problems that weren't happening before.
Whenever I wake up after a (still irregular and random) period of sleeping my throat is dried out and raw like I was just gargling shards of glass.
And trying to leave the house even as far as the local newsagents to pick up a few things is painful because of breathing in the very cold air through my nose and throat.

Recently remembered that a meteroid was once filmed flying through Earth's atmosphere and escaping without exploding many years ago. Made me wonder whether or not it was capable of picking up any bacteria in our atmosphere to contaminate other worlds with, maybe like Mars, Europa, Titan, etc. Old idea, but such bolides could potentially introduce extraterrestrial infectious agents into our biosphere.

Also found out recently that there's apparently some sort of difference between asteroids and meteoroids. Or something. I think.

Had a strange dream this morning. Started off with neat imagery set in a residential complex with some sort of indoor, partially-underground, warehouse-sized shared cafeteria+dining room type of thing with an elevator leading up to an above-ground public park or whatever. Then it got a bit weirder as some sort of "plot" got thrown in involving some short, (somewhat) chubby-looking blond or redheaded woman masquerading as a red butterfly masquerading as Annunaki using a sort of Scarecrow-tier mind control gas to start "Girl World War 3". So it started off kinda' neat, then it got weird, creepy, and scary, and then it got kinda' hot when I saw this femme fatale -type cutie in a tight, beige jumpsuit with big tits.

WW2 is literally the religion of russia.
The actual local church sect there is just another tool to glorify the Great Patriotic War myth on behalf of those in charge.

It goes beyond just a state calling back to events of the past, every part of their identity eventually boils down to what happened in WW2 (but only the tail-end where they fought Germany, not the earlier part).

It hurts the mind to actually stop and take a serious look at it all.

*WW2 starts with the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact leading to the Nazis and Soviets attacking Poland together, then 2 years of the SU happily delivering raw material to Germany while their armed forces conquer Western Europe before Hitler backstab Stalin (who planned a backstabbing of his own but got outsmarted).
*The “Great Patriotic War” instead begins with an unjustified assault by evil fascist world-ending Nazis on peaceful heroic anti-nazi and anti-fascist world-saviour Soviet Union, who win entirely by themselves, thereby saving the world and earning a carte blanche for everything they will ever do in the future (this obviously extends to Russia).

The Great Patriotic War; a lionized and heavily fictional retelling of the World War everyone else recalls, used by the overseers to bend the minds of their serfs through continuous repetition.

Russia is also careful not to mention the massive amounts of materials and armaments they received from the West through programs such as Lend-Lease which allowed them to successfully fight the war after switching sides, since it would poke a hole in the ‘Russia Strongest’ rhetoric.
