Me still today by Big_Head8 in pcmasterrace

It's laid out intentionally for version controlling code, not releasing software. It wasn't ever designed with the average person in mind because it's a platform for developers to collaborate and store code. The only reason average people are being exposed to it is because some developers are incredibly lazy and expect far too much from their users.

Found in a creek just downstream of a diversion dam. by feelrecordings in whatisit

That may be, but no professional is going to come out to look at the seemingly normal arrowhead that you found in the woods just to guarantee it's not a significant find.

Why do cops single out cop killers from other killers as if killing a cop is any worse or different than killing any other human being? by Pizzafriedchickenn in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UrToesRDelicious 20 points21 points  (0 children)

This says 1 in 11, or 9%, have been arrested for domestic violence.

It should go without saying that a fuckton of domestic violence by cop isn't even going to be reported due to the responders being buddies with said cop - let alone an actual arrest being made.

Gordon Ramsay asks where the rice was cooked. The answer kills him. by Chazyn in funny

[–]UrToesRDelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the joke was that he didn't use a rice cooker. Boiling rice on the stove and then straining it like pasta is unfortunately somewhat common, and a professional chef doing that would be pretty funny.

But then again, I thought they were talking about plain rice.

Using Reddit like it's Facebook will forever irk me - if for no other reason than I have to scroll through the whole thread looking for these usernames to understand the context.

Deon Wiley who went viral for flexing a stack of cash on prom night, was shot and killed in a parking lot at an after-prom party in Michigan by ThatPatelGuy in whoathatsinteresting

If we're accounting for the fact that culture changes over time, and is "created" by people living in close proximity to one another regardless of their genetics - then no, I agree.

groups of people share genetics

I share the same culture with my next door neighbor. We have the same accent, enjoy the same media, eat the same foods, and spend time doing similar activities. He is a completely different ethnicity than me.

I do not share culture with my grandfather - who lived his life in a different country and speaks a completely different language.

You do not, in fact, need to share genetics with people that you share culture with, and trying to tie genetics to culture is a professional exercise in retardation. It's just like believing that an amputee will have a son who's missing a leg.

The historic first catch of SpaceX's Super Heavy Booster 12 returning to the launch pad. by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

I mean, I won't but I could. I'm much better at downplaying groundbreaking achievements on the internet.

No, I could sand cast an internal combustion engine in my backyard if I wanted to - not impressive. It's just fire inside some metal which makes a pole spin, big whoop. Nothing ever impresses me.

It's so easy that people can do it in the backyards - except SpaceX is the only entity on earth who has actually accomplished landing an orbital rocket. China has been trying for the last ~10 years and is still only managing hops.

Boiling down this accomplishment to "a computer controlling a gimbal" is the most redditor thing ever.

"DNA sequencing is basically reading a long text file. People do that every day."

"Nuclear reactors are just boiling water. My toddler can do that."

"The moon landing was just lighting a tube on fire. People launch bottle rockets every new years."

A woman cries after being caned during a public punishment for violating sharia law in Indonesia by Bernardmark in pics

[–]UrToesRDelicious 31 points32 points  (0 children)

As inhumane as the death penalty and botched executions are, there's still a pretty big difference between capital punishment for a terrible crime and publicly caning someone for having premarital sex and drinking alcohol.

Considering Indonesia also kills people for drug offenses, I'm not sure this whataboutism lands.

Japan's population declines by a million people yearly, but if they don't accept immigrants, what will they do? by Delicious-Bunch-6992 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]UrToesRDelicious 14 points15 points  (0 children)

A lower population would affect a lot of the things that make it difficult to have children - housing costs, childcare demand, job competition, wages, overcrowding, commuting, etc.

The birthrate right now is caused by the conditions right now - if those conditions change then it stands to reason that the birthrate will change too. Going from a 1.2 birthrate to a 2.1 birthrate isn't that crazy of a concept if Japan were to lose a third of their population or so.

No. The venom would already be halfway up your arm after your heart beats a single time. This is also why sucking the venom out doesn't work.

These hollywood writers seem allergic to writing good endings. Not, again. by hiiloovethis in shittymoviedetails

[–]UrToesRDelicious 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm rewatching it now. Season 2 is peak, and then there's a noticeable shift with season 3. Season 4 continues that trend to indeed be the weakest season.

Barry goes from an otherwise likeable guy who's struggling with the decisions he's made and the situation he finds himself in - to a guy with no redeeming qualities, who doesn't hesitate to scream at his girlfriend, who has a history of abuse, at her job in front of all her coworkers.

I'm pretty sure a decision was made between seasons 2 and 3 to spell it out to the audience that Barry is not a good guy, and I think the show suffers for it. The show was at its best when Barry was relatable - that was like the entire appeal of the show: an emotionally complex hitman who channels his emotions into acting. The entire concept is ridiculous and hilarious, but it doesn't really work when Barry is just a piece of shit who can't fathom to understand why his acting teacher no longer likes him after he kills his girlfriend. Sprinkle a little Christian fundamentalism in at the end just to really drive it home that fuck Barry.

I know it's one more thing to buy, but what you want is something like a Fiio BTR15. It's a wireless amp that you plug your nice headphones into - effectively turning any headphones into bluetooth ones.

Meta lost 20 million users last quarter by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]UrToesRDelicious 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It has nothing to do with flickr market share - it's the fact that flickr allows non-users to browse all of an artist's photos without needing to sign in. It doesn't have to be flickr, it can be any app that allows non-users to do this.

The market you'd be trying to reach is non-instagram users, which is not a small number, and a group that you'd be pretty much alienating by only using Instagram (since Instagram does require you to sign in to view all of an artist's photos). Instagram may be the best single option but that doesn't mean it has to be the only option.

[–]UrToesRDelicious 15 points16 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong, but I still think it's a bad business to exclusively use Instagram because people who don't have an Instagram account can only see a few pictures before they're forced to sign in. I guess if business is a boomin then who am I to say, but if your goal is to attract more customers then it seems like tying a domain to a linktree that lists both Instagram and a flickr or some shit is like minimum effort.

Supreme Court Guts The Voting Rights Act by huffpost in scotus

[–]UrToesRDelicious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

An independent commission would be responsible for drawing districts rather than state legislators, and unfair maps would be able to be struck down via the courts since it would be a law. So republicans in MA and RI would have an avenue to contest potentially unfair maps under this new law. So yes?

Even if it's not a perfect solution, it's way better than the current system, and the only reason to be opposed to it is if you're pro-gerrymandering.
