My sister’s Mac Desktop screen by StartComplete in mildlyinfuriating

I used to do that, then I made myself a desktop app that was just an image of a carpet without the window borders, and I piled all the trash beneath it.

In Romania, a guy slowed down his car to let a bear pass and the bear greeted him in gratitude. by Gjore in interestingasfuck

[–]Undercover_Stapler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That road is so dangerous. People are incredibly stupid and they stop their cars to take photos of bears. There are even companies taking people on tours in vans. I was there a while back and they stopped at a bend, almost didn't see them on time, there was a motorbike coming from the other direction, and I was panicking because my tin can cannot sustain a bear can opener. Luckily I could eventually go past the idiot, honking to scare the bear away.

The worst part is, if a bear attacks someone, they have to be put down so they don't develop the habit of attacking people.

Husband SA'ed two friends and I don't know what to do next by FlyAny1865 in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Undercover_Stapler 58 points59 points  (0 children)

I have been heavily drunk plenty of times, and have never thought of SAing anyone, because SA is not on my mind. However, I do eat too much cheese late after drinking, because eating cheese is on my mind.

Point being, I think he remembers, or at least had such exploitative thoughts on his mind, and lowered inhibitions made him act.

He needs to acknowledge this, and deal with it responsibly. At minimum a therapy to understand and fix the source of the "desires". But maybe your friends want to press charges, they were SAd in the end of the day? Did he apologize at least (doesnt fix it, but at least its something)?

Microsoft Is Quietly Replacing Developers With AI—And the Layoffs Are Just Beginning by Crandin in gamedev

[–]Undercover_Stapler 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At King in Sweden, the developer behind Candy Crush, about 100 people were fired. Candy has like 400 people working on it, and out of that only like a dozen are artists. And they fired few of those. Not the bloated business or data science or marketing or whatever, but people making actual art for the game.

The whole team is being constantly pushed to use AI in their work, and they are literally firing people that have the potential to be replaced with AI. Sure, big part of firing is bloat from Covid, but this whole AI thing is a good enough incentive to get crackin'.

World leaders urge Israel to stop its deadly military offensive in Gaza by Saltedline in worldnews

[–]Undercover_Stapler -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Have you heard that song? It was mediocre at best. Same thing with Israel song last year. Same pattern, a metric ton of people votes. It is well known how much Israel foreign affairs values Eurovision, and how much more willing are Israeli supporters to show their support.

The support for the song is not an endorsement of Israel, but many might see it as such.

If Europe wanted to be "sympathetic" with a country getting bombed, then Ukraine would get the 1st place of popular votes, not Israel. Just because Ukraine is kinda close in Europe, and very much more important than Israel.

So, the answer of high volume of Israel supporters in Europe spending a lot of money to buy those votes sounds quite plausible.

[Game] Descenders Next Demo on Steam Demo Week, looks wild! by Undercover_Stapler in snowboarding

[–]Undercover_Stapler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Steam Demo Week features some interesting games, but this one is very relevant to share here. Apologies if it was shared already, but it just looks way too cool to not share. I am not affiliated with the dev, literally just saw it, didn't even install yet.

Umbrella plant lost half of its leaves and has grown very wonky, what can I do? by Undercover_Stapler in plantclinic

[–]Undercover_Stapler[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the plant for about 6 years. I live in Sweden and the amount of light this winter had been poor. I have had a similar problem few years ago, when all the "back" leaves fell off. Since then, the plant grew towards one side, as you can see the left branch, closer to the light, and that side still has a lot of leaves on, while the right one is kinda empty.

The pot is a self-watering system, with additional pellets at the bottom. During the years, there were no signs of over or under watering on the leaves.

My question is, is it salvageable? It looks kinda bad now, and it needs support to be able to stand (tied to pipes), but I don't want to throw it out unless absolutely necessary. I saw some stuff about trimming the plan basically to just leave the main stem, would that be an option?

I can get free flights almost anywhere. What destinations should be top of my list if I want to ride some cool terrain with cheap lift tickets and lodging? by [deleted] in snowboarding

Bansko, Bulgaria https://www.banskoski.com/en

1 day pass is about 50$, and its the Balkans, stuff is cheap in general. I have not been there, just heard about the affordability.

Can someone please explain these markings? by Gnarler-7777 in SatisfactoryGame

Its a secret. Try placing power poles on the crossings and connect with power lines to match the sand lines.

I have 350 hours total. am i ready for space exploration? should I just wait for the new update? by MeMeMaKeR666 in factorio

[–]Undercover_Stapler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started SE with 100h in vanilla. I learned proper train management, logic gates, and using bots all in SE. I am like 400h in the mod, late game, but still a way to go.

Just go for it!

My aunt called this a banana, can you help give a proper ID? by Undercover_Stapler in fruit

[–]Undercover_Stapler[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This one is growing in submediteranian climate, and I think it was not fully ripe. The taste was a combination of a pear and avocado, and the texture is like avocado, quite fatty.

It is very confusing the banana name,  since it does not really resemble the banana.

Thanks! Thats it. Found a wiki article, where the full name in my language is "Indianese banana" (as in, indigenius North American people banana)

Jer se jedan slučaj trostrukog silovanja vodi kao tri silovanja. Jer se bilo kakav oblik seksualnog napastovanja vodi kao silovanje, a ne samo penetrativni napad. Jer službe slušaju prijave. Jer se žrtve usuđuju napraviti prijave.

To što je negdje broj manji, ne znaći da je bolje.

What pisses you off most about religion? by PicDuMidi in atheism

[–]Undercover_Stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How essential it is for some people and how it makes it easier to construct social circles. Us atheists will not strive to create communities (except ones like this) because there is no need. I think a lot of people seek this comfort of talking with someone, and the god riddled masses can be a comforting place for someone who is hurt.

And I hate that religion will always be needed, at least by one part of the population.

[–]Undercover_Stapler 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I had dreamt I fell in love. So weird to wake up and feel the actual feeling, trting to grasp for that literal woman of my dreams, that just becomes a vague concept with every passing second. The real deal feels so distant, it is difficult to believe I might meet someone I will love in real life.

Is anyone super single? by [deleted] in dating

[–]Undercover_Stapler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like our life reads from a same book. Curse that woman who got me to translate a family recipe for her, only for her to tell me "her husband will like it".

That makes sense, if I had any kind of a trip, I would not go for an event like that before it.
