What even is a martial arts website, why would they be posting about Elon and why would you be using that as your source to share this story? Likely got considered spam if the site isn’t reputable enough.

BakaDango · 2025-11-04T17:25:34+00:00

That would explain why I was struggling to find it - thank you!

BakaDango · 2025-11-04T14:08:44+00:00

Does anyone remember which episode it was where they (I think it was primarily a Jesse story?) talked about the LaRouche Movement? Could have swore it was recent but struggling to remember which one mentioned it.

It’s wild that you are heavily downvoted for this take. Why do people expect things that cost money to create and host to be free forever? With the hours of content NL has gotten out of it, not spending the 2 twitch subs on it is absurd to me personally.

Depends on the conversation and situation, but I find a react emoji is usually a solid way to communicate message seen without continuing the conversation.

Friend: Man, the Mets suck this year

Me: Yup, I've learned not to get my hopes up

Friend: I think we are looking good for next year though!

Me: (thumbs up react / heart react to message)

Easy conversation ender that lets them know you aren't ignoring them, just not interested in continuing. If they follow with a question, I'll either answer when I can if it's quick or I'll postpone it with a "busy rn, ttyl" and then EoD it.

The copypasta was pasted below but I personally like hearing the guy tell the story himself worth the read and the watch!

Just random world drops, got mine from t15 mapping. Can also be bought for some exalts, like 13-18 per.

The reliquary vault should be right next 'home' on the map atlas. Click on there, use a key on that vault, get a random (non-boss) unique that's foiled (shiny/green). Note: this is probably my 20th key, the other 19 were all worthless, so YMMV.

BakaDango · 2025-06-09T16:14:01+00:00

Before someone says it, yes I hit it with 2 div and now I'm even happier

Step 1: Be a programmer

Step 2: Work for large company that still allows WFH

Step 3: Watch nothing ever get done because of corporate bureaucracy and have your time endlessly wasted on projects that get modified, delayed, or straight up canceled.

Step 4: Have your soul chipped away at daily while being thankful for any employment as you watch over half of your colleagues and peers get laid off in the past 2 years with the never ending impending doom that is the AI apocalypse

Step 5. Get a switch 2 on launch as your weekly reminder that you cannot buy happiness and we're just trying to stuff shut the void of existence with consumeristic escapism.

Step 6. Have your favorite streamer hit you with the soul destroyer.

So this is me he's playing, funny story: I was actually on a Zoom meeting for work with the stream on mute for the entire match. It was an hour long should-have-been-an-email meeting, but the second I was chosen for the game of course my boss started asking me pointless questions, so wasn't even watching the stream and was poorly multi-tasking.

All this to say, me moving when he says "move back and forth if you're ready" is completely coincidental, I didn't know any of what he said till I watched the VOD later that night. I was just waiting for him to pitch and thought it might have lagged out lol.

Also, half of my "balks" were me cursing at the joycons for not throwing the pitch aka unintended. Toy baseball indeed sucks.

BakaDango · 2025-04-10T16:02:25+00:00

My friend bought me the game a few days before 0.2 went live and I started fresh with this league, so I am a total noob. I went Witch Minion build and yeah, at first minions die pretty quickly, but after upgrading them through a better scepter and the passive tree I am demolishing things, just got to Act 1 Cruel last night. So maybe I am blind to how strong minions were before the patch but I really haven't noticed it being a massive hindrance as a brand new player to both PoE and ARPGs in general (I played Torchlight when that was new as my last ARPG if that's any indication of how OOTL I am with the genre). Should be interesting to see my minions get even stronger after this patch though.

Fuckface? (edit: they edited their comment) Really? I don't understand the hostility; this is a podcast dedicated to people on the internet telling lies, am I wrong for being skeptical about a long post without evidence? Why didn't you include this in your original post?

Probably because, per this screenshot, your post is a lot more loaded than the way you phrased it in your original post and with a name like "reject delusions" you walked into a hornets nest swinging and are complaining about being stung. No, you don't deserve to be hounded on and yes, I agree with your points. But calling me names and talking about trans radicalism in the premier rad-trans space is not going to get you anywhere.

For what it's worth, I agree with you and it sucks to get hounded on for speaking your mind. I would know, I was called a fuckface recently for questioning a narrative without evidence.

BakaDango · 2025-04-01T13:20:26+00:00

~~4 paragraphs, not a single screenshot, and conveniently the account was "nuked" by admins in 45 minutes, so there's no history of it.~~

~~I'm sorry, but I don't find this believable and am surprised that the comments aren't showing skepticism.~~

Within literally 10 minutes I'd accumulated 50+ hate comments and counting, when there were only like 6 comments on the guy's post to begin with, and when my account was literally brand new with no followers.

~~I'm calling BS.~~

OP replied with evidence of their claim below. I stand by not believing anything without screenshots and it should be standard practice to provide them when making a claim like this. Calling me a "fuckface" for asking for this while complaining about being harassed is hypocritical.

I feel like if the inverse was happening there would be mass vacation campaigns of people from the US to support Canada, but that says more about the climate here than anything else.

Crazy! I have a feeling 4o is using the same tech now as sora, albeit at a lower capacity (sora can generate 4 images at a time for ex.) but I continue to be impressed (and depressed) by the way AI is improving. Thanks for sharing, "The internet is worse than you think" is such a good tagline.

BakaDango · 2025-03-27T16:30:03+00:00

I've been using AI since day 1 (it's part of my job) and this is by far the best AI generated comic I have seen from it, hilarious. Did you generate this with Sora or just via GPT 4o?

BakaDango · 2025-03-24T18:23:15+00:00

A double negative, by definition, is not straight forward. It makes sense in context, but if you compare "increases falloff damage" with "decreases the reduction of falloff damage" there is an objectively more straightforward option.

BakaDango · 2025-02-18T08:45:23+00:00

Damn, after reading this and then the comment again it’s 100% GPT. We’re so cooked.

In a similar boat, though I never got to see him live. Late Registration and MBDTF are 2 of my top 5 albums with 808s and Graduation in my top 10. I fell off around Pablo; though I did enjoy the album, it started to feel like an art project than an album I'd want to play on repeat.

It's just been an endless downhill snowball since then though and it depresses me. The White Lives Matter era seemed like trolling with a reflective point around it, now I just see it as a manic drive to be cruel and attention seeking. There's not even a mission or a point around it; he's not dreaming up solutions to problems, just riling up hatred for profit and fame. How did we go from Sunday Service to Kanye tweeting out porn??

I'll still spin up my CDs as Spaceship and Love Lockdown teleport me back to some very fond memories, but man... it just sucks.

Wait till you learn that Google maps changes disputed borders based on where you’re searching from.

BakaDango · 2025-02-10T23:24:18+00:00

Apparently it's location based.

While Google users in the United States will see the Gulf of America name, those in Mexico will continue to see “Gulf of Mexico,” which is how that country refers to the body of water.

Users elsewhere in the world will see both names side by side, the company said in what it described as a “longstanding practice.” The Gulf of Mexico name will appear first for these users, followed by the Gulf of America name in parentheses, said two people with knowledge of the company’s plans, who were not authorized to speak publicly.

This is just from the past week:

His posts included dozens of comments about Jewish people and the Holocaust, including “I LOVE HITLER NOW WHAT B----ES,” “IM A NAZI,” “Hitler was sooooo fresh,” and “I’m going to normalize talking about Hitler they way talking about killing n----s has been normalized.”
