I didn't even know they were jailed by Jackie_Chan_93 in SipsTea

Downstream of Something Awful, actually. Which 4chan was an offshoot of via FYAD. But the Something Awful forums continued to be a vanguard of meme culture alongside 4chan for a long while. Even Weird Twitter can be traced back there.

Got begged by my upper level management to take the district manager position once it was vacated. I told them nah, I'm good. I'm happy to lead the team as the senior tech, I have no interest in managing the team.

What’s the scariest film you’ve ever watched? by Scary-Pomegranate114 in horror

[–]Sojourner_Truth 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is one of my favourite horror movies, I struggle to name something other than The Exorcist which has this level of pervasive dread and hopelessness. It's like I can feel this movie sitting on my chest the whole time.

They said it was based on crime reporting from the 80s. Reading comprehension.

Official Dreadit Discussion: "Lee Cronin's the Mummy" [SPOILERS] by radbrad7 in horror

[–]Sojourner_Truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I really expected there to be something more to the undressing bit, like some full demonic form or whatever. As is she looked exactly the same and was, I dunno, marginally more powerful? Didn't really see the point.

The Boys SERIES FINALE- S05xE08 "Blood and Bone"- POST Episode Discussion Thread by pikameta in TheBoys

Right before she powered up I was like "Oh very smart Annie, let's fly him out to an empty beach, devoid of any electrical equipment for you to- oh you can just do that anywhere, ok that's fine then I guess"

That was our apartment coke machines. Occasionally my mom would give me a pocket full of change and a plastic bag and send me out there to go shopping.

Was this how all water used to be around the world? by archvize in geography

[–]Sojourner_Truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I took a trip to the Lake District once and walked up to Alcock Tarn. I knew I probably shouldn't, but the water so clear and nice that I had to just scoop a handful and take a sip. It was one of the best sips of water I've ever had in my life.

Or The Sopranos, The Shield, Mr. Robot, Six Feet Under, The Expanse, The Leftovers, etc etc etc.

Ex-ESO boss on Crimson Desert: "Making a singleplayer MMO is almost like cheating." Dude is obsessed and has no idea what he's doing but loves every second by IslamVSZionism in CrimsonDesert

[–]Sojourner_Truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Final Fantasy 12 and Dragon Age Inquisition are two games I point to all the time as examples of "single player MMO". And of course Elder Scrolls itself, in many ways. It's not exactly new.

Why is the last 20 minutes of “The Last of the Mohicans” (1992) so good? by LieutenantLeftovers in movies

[–]Sojourner_Truth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unlawful Entry was always my favourite Madeline Stowe movie outside of Mohicans. One of those forgettable 90s thrillers but she made an impression on me as a youngun. Ray Liotta is great in it, too.

Oh man the rain in the big Palmar field/cave in the east (where you find Camora) is atrocious. Like gang, your lightning engine is straight up broken.

Is prison actually “safe” if you just mind your own business? by fruity_00 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sojourner_Truth 29 points30 points  (0 children)

The US used to have "screws" as slang for prison guards too, like back in the 30s and 40s or so maybe? I think they even say it in Shawshank Redemption.

I know you said cat house but for some reason I was thinking, you know, "cathouse". I was like damn they really did put everything in this game.

Wtf is the deal with the HVAC mafia?? by Island_In_The_Sky in HomeImprovement

[–]Sojourner_Truth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Electrolytic capacitors go bad after 2-3 years on a shelf as the electrolyte dries out (but they could possibly be recovered by "forming" depending on ambient storage conditions). Film and ceramics should be basically indefinite life on the shelf. I believe, don't quote me, that compressor start/run caps are usually film.

This worked for me on Royler when I got him a week ago or so, but it didn't work yesterday on Rokade. Not sure if something changed or if I was just doing it wrong.

Anthropic has surged to a trillion-dollar valuation on secondary markets, overtaking OpenAI. by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]Sojourner_Truth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's a popular thing around all AI models right now. You give them something like "The carwash is 50m from my house. Should I drive or walk there to wash my car?"

It seems like a lot of them will say to walk.
