bionicjoey,

My dog does this. Sometimes I wake up with his nose an inch away from my eyeball

bionicjoey,

Listen, we can’t all be Sid Meier or Edmund McMillan. Some of us are just a 14 year old who’s learning Java for the first time. Doesn’t mean it isn’t fun.

bionicjoey,

Isn’t this because of those special stamps they use in Japan to notorize documents? I heard about them on a podcast: 99percentinvisible.org/episode/hanko/

bionicjoey,

Sometimes I watch NSFW ASMR videos in order to trigger my ASMR.

bionicjoey,

So what you’re saying is… Bears are powered by AI.

bionicjoey,

Yeah it’s fine. That’s the one I started with and still use at work.

What hobbies help you minimize or avoid navigating commercialism?

By commercialism, I’m aiming at a mix of spending a lot and sifting through bloated business models (e.g. this or that accessory/equipment, microtransactions, etc.). Feel like many can relate to this sort of commercial fatigue, and yet it creeps even into hobbies where one tries to unwind....

bionicjoey,

Just be careful to learn card magic and not magic cards. Because one of those is not good for minimizing your consumption haha

Why do most people refuse to accept that they are wrong

I have come across a lot’s of people like these. like 99% of them. Sometimes it makes me think twice if what i am saying is wrong? What’s wrong with them. Is it so hard to swallow your pride and acknowledge that the other person is speaking facts? When they come to know they are wrong they proceed to insult/make fun of...

It’s a basic psychological need to be able to trust that your brain can be right. A lot of psychological problems can result if you don’t trust your own brain to be able to solve problems and cope with new information.

Some people don’t learn the value of accepting mistakes/failure as part of learning. As a result, they will associate being wrong with weakening the trust they have in their brain. They don’t want to believe that their brain may not come up with answers for the problems and changes they face in life. So they will deny that their brain is incorrect.

It’s an ugly insecurity, but it’s totally understandable from an evolutionary perspective. We need to be able to trust our brains to navigate life’s challenges. People need to be taught that it’s okay to make mistakes, and that admitting when you are wrong is an opportunity for personal growth.

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

bionicjoey,

Sponsorblock simply jumps the video ahead automatically. If you’re okay with doing it manually, you should have no objection to a simple labour-saving device in the form of a browser plugin

bionicjoey,

I use Patreon and Nebula yes. But I don’t think creators should feel entitled to people watching the ad section of their videos. And advertisers shouldn’t feel entitled to have their ads be seen.

bionicjoey,

Kinda. YouTube has stats about which times of a video are watched more proportionally for a single view. You can ironically usually use this data to see when a sponsor spot ends (to skip to it) since there will be a peak in the watch time curve.

bionicjoey,

The difference between necessary and sufficient requirements:

Janeway: let’s go into that dangerous nebula, there’s coffee in it

Holden: I won’t be able to fight the protomolecule if I don’t drink some coffee first
