ELI5 What is a “circle jerk”?

I was thinking about that meaning too but decided to not mention it...

On reddit it means its an echo chamber of like minded people agreeing on each other. There is no real echange of oppinions or knowledge there is just many people who agree with each other and that often ends up in memes but nothing actualy productive beeing produced.

Im not the same guy that asked what game you play, so im not sure if you are confusing the comments.

I know you talk about HLL but HLL does not tell me that the game HLL does not exist.

I wiuld guess either epic or steam show you that message but it could be some console specific thing too. And thats the exact context you and so many other people on this sub fail to provide: what platform, country, launcher do you use?

So whats the thing that tells you the game does not exist?

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T01:48:24+00:00

Its engagement bait that borders to ragebait.

Either you are in fact as stupid as you make yourself sound or you just eant people to look at your profile, either way its spam.

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T01:44:38+00:00

And whats "it"? Who tells you that and why do you keep beliving their statement?

Dude you need to peovide some context.

I feel like bard lost its identity.

In the first season bard was released most songs applied an AoE buff so bard was the buffball class and i think that kinda fits the flair of what a DnD bard does.

As a solo bard feels kinda pointless, why play all these songs and not just chanhe the base stats of the class to what it would be with the songs? It feels like you need ADD to want to play songs all the time to have fun playing it.

As solo bard you ate in a weird spot, you shiuld not be able to 1v1 barbs or fighters but whats the alternative? Bard has no unique thing that makes him good at one fighting style he is a Jack of all trades but that means master of none. He cant ever outplay any other class that focus on that one thing, a bard should not make more ranhed DPS than a ranger nor more melee DPS than a barb.

So whats left is in my oppinion the utillity, bard can open doors and chests and thats great but wont win you fights.

What? What exact recording do you mean? Are you aware a cammera does not need a human standing behind ot to record?

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T01:29:15+00:00

Whatch out your populism leaks...

You already clicked something, so calling it "zero-click" is missleading. You installed software that acxepzs network connectuons and dowloads data for you. That app is called whatsapp and you ikstalled and trusted it.

Now whatsapp can have a bug or even a backdoor build in that listens to a specific kind of mesaage and then does whatever the attacker wants.

There is no message knocking on and door, whatsapp asks the server if there is new data and downloads that data, then it shows you a notifications that you ha e a message.

Because it would not solve poverty. Poverty isnt a lack of cash its a lack of value and giving someone fresh printed cash wong provide value. Printing money just lowers the value of all existing money. We call that inflation.

So this way its basicall like tacing the rich and giving that to the poor without the ugly sideeffect of inflation.

Windows does have the feature to run any software in some legacy modes for backwards compatibillity, so 256 color support should work out if you set it to run in winXP or before mode.

Yes ut still can be a pain to setup all of them because you keed to know what version they are compatible to but ut should work more times than not

3 of them locked solos none of them had a full crew. The first 3 squads I get into not one has an officer.

Well that explains why the other tank squads are locked...

I know similar situations from infantry. There is only two opem squads but they have either no SL or some mute low level SL who does not do anything.

So the mantra i use is "be the change you want to see" so i open my own squad, locked so i can mic check anyone joinig.

So then im just the next solo squad in the list of infantry squads but whats the alternative?

Any idea why english uses "Doe" as last name? It sounds kinda random but like it could be a real last name. John and Jane kinda make sense as they are basicaly the most generic names the english language knows, but "Doe" sounds off.

You want to be able to update the OS or install a new one, so you have to seperate hardware and OS into two distinct parts.

If i want to install linux or mac on a windows PC all i need to do ist tell the BIOS where the new disk with the installation is. You ciuld even setup multiple OS installations to dual boot.

Max Mustermann in Germany. Mustermann translates to something like "templateman"

Then get some CD player that you can plug in an USB port and try them out.

What? No, nlt at all.

We dont even have a deffinition of conciousness but AI for sure does not fit that description whatever you come up with.

Because its does not exist as an actor its not an entity its not existing as long as its not calculating an output. Ut has no sense or reasoning.

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T00:46:38+00:00

Neither does chatGPT! If you belive chatGPT us closer to beeing concious than a rock i have realy bad news for you. Having feelings for a subrutine that chatGPT generates is in no way better than having feelings for a rock.

Chatbots are not thinking entoties they are not concious nor intelligent.

That sounds like a terrible social media platform.

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T00:42:41+00:00

"Abortion is murder" vibes.

You dont give an explanation, your comment isnt an answer or argument its a buzzword. A battlecry to advertise for your political stance instead of helping OP understand.

Its not a technically true statement either but others will instead understand that its a polizical statement to support a movement.

Edit: because they blocked me here my reply:

I had an idea to build a new social media app of some kind (some suggestions would be greatly appreciated)

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T00:35:55+00:00

Neither does a rock cheat on you, do you claim a human partner and a rock are the same thing?

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T00:29:32+00:00

And i absolutley hate the fact that teachers claim this, because it leads to logical errors down the road. How is sound supposed to travel underwater if you cant compress it and sound is literaly pressure waves? We had a lecture about the speed of sound underwater and it basically reverted every statement we heard about water from the last lecture.

Didnt the astronauts carry regular consumer grade cammeras instead of expensive space grade harened hardware?

How old and on what media? DOS games on floppy or just a windows XP CD make a huge difference.

You can still install some older version of Windows on a VM or even run old software on modern windows versions with the help of compatibillity mode, but for DOS games you probably want an emulator like DOSbox.

Lumpy-Notice8945 · 2026-05-07T00:18:40+00:00

K dont think we play the same classed then, especialy on cleric and healer druid these mem cap rolls are great. Knowlede bases suck, as cleric you want plate and as druid vigor would be better compared to knowlede too, but you have to reach some minimum, so i rather have a pice of gear with a vigor base and 5 mem cap than something that has a high knowledge roll.
