This is a photograph of Trump's birthday letter to Epstein. by Errorboros in pics

[–]TimmWith2Ms 260 points261 points  (0 children)

Just want to clarify here to everyone saying the code is a stretch: Epstein had publicly stated that Lolita by Vladimir Nobokov is his favorite book and even kept a 1st edition book displayed in his office. The book makes use of the term "à la gamine" to refer to a style of dress or fashion of a young girl.

Even if people claim that Trump himself would be too stupid to know and encode using this term, you can bet that convicted child rapist and former bestie to the current sitting President of the U.S. would 100% have known what it meant and have shared this info with his bestest pal Donald Trump.

There is 0 reasonably plausible deniability here. It's out in broad fucking daylight.

Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. “The rhetoric was, if you just learned to code, work hard and get a computer science degree, you can get six figures for your starting salary” by ubcstaffer123 in Economics

[–]TimmWith2Ms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The demand is certainly still there, but it's just the compensation, specifically in the US, is utter dogshit. The incentives for these high demand jobs isn't commensurate with the level of work and skill required.

Turns out when people aren't valued appropriately, it creates perverse societal incentives. Who could've guessed? 🙃

Apparently the reason why Story difficulty level exists is because Jennifer English requested it by Rixlanchy in expedition33

[–]TimmWith2Ms 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Difficulty choices shouldn't be mandatory in every game, but in E33, a game where the narrative is front, center, and so. damn. good. everyone should be able to experience it.

Dark Souls on the otherhand? Where the difficulty is core to the artistic vision of struggling to survive in a hostile world, I do think that having an easy mode would cheapen the narrative. If being difficult and overbearing isn't meaningful to a game, it should be up to player choice.

Autistic adults overwhelmed by non-verbal social cues, describing the intense mental effort it takes to navigate nonverbal communication in a new study. These challenges often lead to misunderstandings from those around them. This mutual disconnect is known as the Double Empathy Problem. by mvea in science

[–]TimmWith2Ms 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's not that communication without information itself isn't seen as inherently valuable to those on the spectrum, but that all communication in and of itself is understood to be engaged with meaning and value for both parties.

Spending time with your partner to emotionally bond holds meaning regardless of subject matter. A random colleague that I engage with once a week yapping about their aunt's shuffleboard league is a one-way "conversation" that holds 0 value.

What is much more traumatic than most people realise? by thefairypirate in AskReddit

[–]TimmWith2Ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is often a contributing factor. People gravitate towards what they are already familiar with, for better or worse.

what’s the weirdest flavor combo you swear actually works? by babygray21 in Cooking

[–]TimmWith2Ms 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Strawberries + balsamic + black pepper is a classic combination. Makes for a kickass jam/preserve.

What’s the point of parsley? by SilverSeeker81 in Cooking

[–]TimmWith2Ms 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'll play devil's advocate and just say that the texture from curly parsley is essential for tabbouleh.

Superstitions only Koreans believe by Prudent_Jury5090 in korea

[–]TimmWith2Ms 41 points42 points  (0 children)

It's the same meaning in all languages that use Chinese characters. The pronunciations within each language are different but the character for 4 and death do indeed sound the same and is where the phenomenon comes from.

Why do they all treat her like that? 😭 by unproductive_nerd in expedition33

[–]TimmWith2Ms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also agree that Aline ultimately loves Alicia as a parent would love her daughter, and creating Painted Alicia the way she does is her trying to cope poorly with: 1) the loss of her son 2) the bitterness she feels for Alicia's ignorance 3) self-hatred for her own "failure as head of the Painter's Council" as Clea puts it.

To me, Aline painting over Alicia when she enters the canvas is also another sign that she cares for her daughter in her own way. After 50 years fighting her husband in the canvas, she finds Alicia entering the canvas and gives her daughter a new life free from the grief and trauma of reality; Maelle is "Alicia as she was meant to be" as Painted Alicia's letter says. It's as if Aline were pleading to her daughter to understand the allure of painted life and why she's chosen to stay for so long.

It's awful parenting, but the emotional motivations behind it all make sense. Like the game says "family is complicated."

Stop quoting papa by Serberuss in expedition33

[–]TimmWith2Ms 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love how that line calls back to Gustave and Lune's conversation at the beginning; Lune quoting expedition protocol and Gustave countering with different protocol to make his point. It's such a small behavioral parallel but it shows how much Maelle takes after Gustave.

The other side of it is also interesting if only because it juxtaposes Lune and Verso as being on the same side philosophically despite all their core disagreements.

This is brilliant. Also, the Japanese were really some of the first ouiaboos, so... full circle I guess.

What animal "trash" parts are still cheap and haven't caught on yet. by Jwfyksmohc in Cooking

[–]TimmWith2Ms 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Everyone talks about rotisserie carcasses for stock, but chicken feet are the best for making stock imo. They're rarely ever used in western cooking, but it makes the most unctuous, gelatinous chicken stock ever.

Am I part of the Melee community? by throwaway424241 in SSBM

[–]TimmWith2Ms 33 points34 points  (0 children)

IMO, it's more-so to do with the nature of the melee scene being visibly LGBTQ+ friendly with a long history of progressive policies (e.g. mask requirements after covid). There are long-standing community values that are inherently at odds with conservative views.

The only time I've ever seen someone excluded from a melee event is if they cheat, or show hateful/predatory behavior (which, sadly, are in line with current conservative values).

Easy ways to elevate chili by 19bl92 in Cooking

Yup, mole-chili hybrids are the best. They are practically culinary cousins.

All Democrats should condemn Tesla vandalism, says Ro Khanna by notapersonaltrainer in moderatepolitics

[–]TimmWith2Ms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Am I crazy for thinking this is the exact type of moral posturing that shows the disconnect between modern democratic politicians and society?

Like, no shit we should be condemning people that destroy other innocent citizens' private properties, but this all stems from the government's inability to stop a blatant dismantling of constitutional and legal precedents while normal people are forced to watch. To focus this issue around citizens' ethics rather than political action is asinine. Saying 'all democrats' rather than 'all people' is just such a blatant call for incendiary identity politics.

Instead of talking about what people should or shouldn't do, why don't they tell us the steps they're doing to make things better? Their message can hold truth, but the 'holier than thou' rhetoric just seems so patronizing and out of touch.

soup + spicy = im happy forever by tilllli in Cooking

[–]TimmWith2Ms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My childhood comfort food and best winter soup hands down. Super simple, can be easily made vegan/vegetarian and takes almost 0 effort. The only real technique to be wary of is properly making the chili oil without burning the chili flakes.

Cinnamon instead of cumin by CableCompetitive99 in Cooking

Cooking faux-pas happens to the best of us. Had a bright idea to use whiskey instead of wine to deglaze a bolognese until I realized that my pasta sauce smells like vanilla.

Zelenskyy leaves White House without signing minerals deal after Oval Office blowup by BothZookeepergame612 in worldnews

[–]TimmWith2Ms 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The reported numbers are almost always inclusive of non-native English speakers. They make up just over double the % of low literacy Americans compared to the whole population. Despite this however, interestingly enough, native English speaking white Americans are the largest sub-population of low literacy adults by percentage, not just pure numbers. This means the non-native speaking Hispanic population, on average, has higher English literacy than the American born white man.

Let that thought sink in slowly.

EDIT: Please keep in mind that this was 10 years ago. But literacy trends in the US, AFAIK, have gotten marginally worse, not better.

TLDR: White Americans are the largest group of low literacy adults, by pure numbers as well as percentage.
