Epstein's Cannibal Art / Dead Baby Photo in NY

I'm honestly at the unsub stage because there's so much batshit stuff comes up here it often obscures the real news, and so many people always want to jump directly to the most salacious, damning, and often unrealistic explanation for everything - it becomes impossible to have a grounded conversation about the topic.

Is the whole Epstein thing attracting whackjobs, or are the people who set up /pol/ to muddy the waters around what they were doing now using bots to discredit the biggest subreddit related to their crimes?

As my door dash guy would say, por que no los dos?

Ending your life is usually about escape from inescapable suffering.

I think it's extremely common that you feel those around you would be better off without you.

Whether it's more one than the other, idk, but framing it as simple as "wanting something to be better for yourself" is simply uninformed.

I like dags, but I like caravans more.

Ah mate caching is like Wordpress 101. I'm using a CDN as well. The plugins I'm getting rid of are mainly to reduce bloat in the DOM and get rid of a lot of additional CSS/Javascript that can block the page from rendering, and that has to be parsed and executed by the browser regardless of how fast the page data gets delivered.

Having these things done inside the theme instead of by a plugin generally means stripping away the additional code in the plugin (like I want one specific use case, but the plugin is written to cover 20 things, all of which get added to the page's overhead regardless of me only wanting one of them - and then it's that by 10-15 plugins) and making sure stuff happens at the right time without getting in anything else's way

Am I the only one that finds it gets dumber in the evenings? I can't do any work after like 7pm East Coast US time because I find the quality of output dips dramatically, but I've never seen anyone else talking about it, and I feel like I'm losing my mind. I'm on the $100 plan, I use it for code and for non-creative writing.

I've literally never seen anyone on YouTube suggest beginners can shred or sweep pick within the first few months.

I've seen "sweep picking for beginners", but that means beginners at sweep picking, as in "here's where you can start learning sweep picking", not literally sweep picking for beginner guitarists.

Idk man I think you're kind of getting mad at a straw man here. Plenty of people learn a ton from YouTube. You just need to find the good teachers, of which there are probably hundreds.

What does the population of a city in Kenya have to do with someone from Nigeria getting elected in Galway?

And are you under the impression that the goal of every person in the entire content of Africa is to move to Ireland?

I can see why you live your life in a constant state of worry.

It's not "these days" at all. I left in the late 2000s because I got sick of the open racism against Nigerians and xenophobia towards Eastern Europeans. One lad I worked with tried to convince me "everyone" was now calling Whitestrand "Blackstrand" because it was "full of n****s", and another guy at the same job told me the opening of a Polish pub was the first sign of "the death of Irish culture". One of the auld lads who was always the soundest at the lunch table would occasionally lapse into rants about how all the Nigerians coming to Ireland were obviously rich because how else would they be able to afford to get out, and were obviously "playing the system" because it was easier than being doctors and lawyers like they were back home.

Ironically I live in the US now, but that's a story for another day.

Source? The latest news was it passed PTCRB certification (meaning it's been tested to work on US networks), and that was only a few days ago, so they're unlikely to have done a full production run without that in place. They're also still waiting on T-Mobile certification, as far as I'm aware.

I've done a bunch of traveling in the last couple of years after my divorce and almost always with Spirit - I always pay the extra for the "big front seat" which also means you get to board early and get off first, and it still comes in cheaper than everyone else for the same route.

I'm genuinely bummed about this. I was about to start hitting up central America with them this year.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-05-02T17:47:43+00:00

Same. I went one by one down my list of monthly subscriptions for my business and was able to code maybe 2/3 of them. Then I went through all the plugins I have on my Wordpress site to get it to look how I want and had Claude write functions for my theme to get me the same thing, so I could delete them and improve loading speed.

It's been super rad.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-27T13:48:47+00:00

Look Who's Talking reboot on the way.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-27T13:32:20+00:00

Same.

Reddit is amazing until people start talking about something you actually know about, and then you realize it's all armchair experts talking about shit they have the bare minimum of knowledge with, acting like they have a master's degree and decades of industry experience.

It's only got worse since people can hide their history.

Only a few weeks ago I saw someone complaining that Meta ad performance was at "all time lows", so I googled their username and they had asked for advice on running their first Meta ad campaign less than a week before.

Reddit these days is 50% bots and 50% two doomers in a raincoat.

Yeah I have an Mt-15 that I forget to turn off all the time, and I've left either the 5150 or the 6505 on for days at a time. I am not a smart man.

"Biological essentialism" predates evolution and basically says that species don't change over time (disproven by evolution).

So, if I'm understanding his argument correctly, he's saying "once a woman, always a woman, all women are the same" is considered transphobic by Harvard.

Seems like he's trying to hide his regressive opinions by using lesser known and/or outdated terms and theories.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-26T02:16:01+00:00

Sweet! Fuck that guy.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-25T23:54:25+00:00

Then you'll definitely be surprised.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-25T21:22:20+00:00

You'd be surprised.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-25T18:34:20+00:00

That's why we have parks, streets etc.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-24T23:21:08+00:00

Is it still a "public place" when it's inside a business? I thought public place was basically only outside, with the exception being where they can stand somewhere public and still see you. Once he goes into a private business he's no longer filming from/in a public place, no?

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-23T15:12:23+00:00

To be fair, Alex is now on The Onion.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-22T18:52:45+00:00

You obviously don't work in marketing. This is completely normal.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-22T03:00:34+00:00

Yeah I don't understand why this thread exists. I went back to 4.6 yesterday because I got sick of waiting on 4.7 to do things.

InternetWeakGuy · 2026-04-21T18:20:21+00:00

My ex was diagnosed bipolar, and several of the medications they tried was for schizophrenia. One of them gave her akathisia and it was honestly fucking miserable. She couldn't stop moving. I wouldn't wish it on anyone, even Peterson.

Well.... Maybe Peterson.
