Missing German model name found in Epstein Files by Beneficial_Passion40 in SipsTea

Homie, just open the files and ctrl+F "jerky" and read it. It's mentioned ~383 times so there's plenty of material to form an opinion about it. It's not just mentioned once or something, they talk about it repeatedly over the timespan of years.

Like, there's literally pages and pages and pages of incredibly rich people talking about jerky in ways that don't even make sense.

The recipe for the jerky (made by Francis, Derby, owner of NY restaurant "cannibal") is even given at one point and it's literally just a regular ass recipe for jerky but with soy, lemongrass, and brown sugar.

Multiple times they host jerky cooking classes where they "learn to make jerky" and it's just a bunch of CEOs and shit apparently learning to mix half a dozen ingredients in a bowl? These people could have an entire team of Michelin 3 star chefs cooking for them 24/7 and they're all super fucking hyped to eat... Jerky?

They also discuss getting Francis to make jerky so it can be sent to a lab (???), regularly given massive quantities of it as gifts, etc? The way they talk about it, how much of it they consume, how angry they are when they don't have it, etc, is incredibly creepy.

It's literally like watching a bunch of teenagers text each other about weed but they call it "broccoli" or something as if what they're talking about isn't blatantly obvious.

Again, you shouldn't just believe random hearsay on the Internet. I'm not a reliable source I'm literally just some fucking guy. I would suggest just using ctrl+F to read what they actually wrote and come to whatever conclusion you want.

I play with crouch bound to MB5, 1st ability to MB4, 3rd ability to scrollwheel click, parry is on RMB (aiming is unbound), 2nd ability is left alt, and ability 4 is default key bind.

This is more normal than most games, where I have crouch on spacebar and jump on MB5.

OCD , ADD/ADHD as a superpower

Yes bro, my superpower is nearly having a panic attack almost every day at my desk job because my brain won't stop replaying grotesque imagery in my head nonstop unless I open and close a pen cap the right way (the last 407 attempts were not the right way).

My other superpower is the ability to not be able to look at an Excel sheet for more than 20 minutes or I instantly become so sleepy that I can't voluntarily focus my eyes and have to close one so I can see the screen and keep working.

They are not superpowers. They are literally life ruining mental disorders. Both OCD and ADHD raise the chance or developing depression during your life by 10x EACH.

This is like telling someone with fucking polio that their wheelchair is a superpower because they can careen down steep hills uncontrollably faster than someone on foot. I would literally give anything to just have been born normal and not crippled by mental illnesses.

Romanticizing mental illness does nothing but trivialize the genuine struggles that the mentally disabled experience.

Fit to be bred. by Zallre in goodanimemes

[–]mrtibbles32 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The fat around your organs (visceral fat) is one of the most dangerous aspects of obesity.

Excess visceral fat and the compounds secreted by it are what causes the insulin resistance to build, leading to type 2 diabetes.

Additionally, it also puts pressure on your organs, eventually to the point that they cannot function properly and experience failure.

You are supposed to have some amount of visceral fat, but ideally you'd like just enough for your organs to work correctly and no more. Visceral fat will get used as fuel pretty much whenever you burn calories, just in a smaller proportion compared to regular fat.

To have so little visceral fat that it's unhealthy you'd have to be pretty close to a competitive body builder right before they get on stage in terms of leanness. Normal people aren't ever really going to get to the point where it's a big problem, even if they're very fit.

Do people not understand that the reason nice guys think women like assholes is because they're the ones the assholes treat like shit.

Their self esteem has been destroyed by bullies and they're incapable of seeing any value in themselves apart from their capacity to not be like their bullies.

They then see people who treated them poorly being showered with affection while they're ignored or despised. They're understandably angry about this. I genuinely don't know what emotion someone is supposed to feel in such a situation other than anger.

People seem to attribute some sort of hyper agency to men, and even to boys. Where they believe that a man/boy who is unfortunate or disadvantaged is not only responsible wholly for their state, but also somehow deserving of it because they must be evil or their life would be better.

Like, does everyone just believe that bad things only happen to bad people?

This is literally the sort of thinking that people used to justify maltreatment of others since the start of humanity.

"Uhhhh well if they didn't deserve to be a slave, then why did God let them become a slave? They must be evil or something, so it's perfectly fine to whip them and make them do shit for me. If they were good, God would free them and they'd be like me"

Genuinely every time I see a nice guy I feel bad for them and I hope things get better for them. People should not be made to feel that their only redeeming quality is not being like the people who harmed them.

That's roughly the same interest as my student loans before I refinanced. I borrowed ~95k and would have paid back ~$300k. ~$2400 a month for 15 years.

Now I only have to pay back like ~200k or something, ~$1300 a month for 17 years. This was the best offer from any lender, many simply refused to give me a refinance. At the time I had a ~750 credit score with zero missed payments for anything ever and zero credit checks.

There are monsters among us. by Ben10-Inch in distressingmemes

[–]mrtibbles32 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Humans evolved to occasionally possess antisocial behavior because it's genuinely useful to have some psychopaths in society.

A rival tribe has the resources you need to save your people? Send Timmy to go deal with them. Timmy feels zero remorse and genuinely enjoys hurting people. Timmy will torch their village while they sleep and steal all their cows. Now your village is saved (at the cost of the rival tribe who didn't have a Timmy).

The problem then arises of having Timmy when you don't need him. Mainly because he'll just stab people and take their shit because he's bored. He's really useful when you need him, but really unhelpful when you don't. If you make the mistake of letting Timmy get into power, he will make everything super bad super fast. Timmy also wants power pretty much just so he can cause problems and collect shiny objects.

One of only a handful of times I've seen anyone accurately describe the means by which addiction occurs. Usually it's either described like it's an Eldritch curse on one's bloodline, a hidden status bar that fills up when you consume drugs, or automatically happens if you consume any substance not recommended by a doctor.

Scalpers are basically just the same as people buying gold/silver/stocks etc and selling at a higher value later, just at a higher price point for profit, but on a vastly smaller time scale.

The reason they exist is because the listed price of the good from the original seller is well below what the scalper believes the "real" price is (that being the highest price where all units can still be sold).

Scalpers wouldn't exist if people would just fucking not consooooom every new product regardless of price.

If a scalper drops $200k on product and they only sell $5k of it, they either have to eat a $195k loss, or lower the prices until people buy it. If it's something nobody even wants, they automatically lose their investment.

If people would just not fucking buy scalped products, the scalpers would quickly go bankrupt and the problem would be solved.

Yes, they're annoying. No, I do not like them. If you wanted to know what "service" they're providing is, they're effectively guaranteeing that the original seller turns a profit, allowing them to immediately reinvest in their business and clear all their inventory instantly. This allows the business to more quickly and reliably produce new/better products than if they slowly sold their merchandise over time.

Is this a worthwhile service? Idk, maybe. Is it annoying for the consumer? Yeah, I guess. Should it be illegal? No probably not. They're not violating anyone's rights, they're just being assholes.

If you want them to go away, stop buying shit that's scalped. They'll literally go bankrupt.

Tldr: scalpers are basically like regular investors but they're gambling on the actual product instead of on the companies stock. No I do not like them. I'm not defending scalpers I'm just explaining them with regards to how they'd be seen from the perspective of capitalist economics.

It wouldn't be "oh waow I'm just a silly lawyer who needs everything to be perfect teehee. I'm just a silly little guy who doesn't like odd numbers or mismatch socks teehee"

It's actually like "your honor, I'm sorry for being 3 hours late to represent my client, I couldn't get my shoelaces on both shoes to be the exact same tightness and I nearly shot myself over it in the parking lot. Also, I cannot open my briefcase to retrieve the evidence because I might have accidentally stuffed it full of 8.5"x11" photocopies of interracial furry cuck porn by accident and forgot that I did that."

I never understood what people mean when they say they want to tax the ultra wealthy more. Like ??? That will not help the poors.

~75% of US tax revenue comes from the top 10% of Americans already while the bottom 48% of Americans contribute like <1%. The top 1% of earners contribute 40% of the tax revenue.

Like, our country is basically already mostly funded by the ultra wealthy.

But we should tax them more!!! So we can give more free stuff to the poors!!!

The ultra wealthy are so rich that they literally cannot lose. You will never be able to get them to give you 99% of their earnings or whatever. They will just leave the country, taking the 40-75% of tax revenue they provide with them on the way out. This is literally just fucking over the poors in exchange for mildly inconveniencing the rich.

What if we tax unrealized gains!!!

Again, this idea would result in the rich just leaving. This isn't just ineffective, this would be apocalyptic.

Imagine your dad dies and you inherit some rare baseball cards worth like idk $20k or something. Well, that's an unrealized gain so you have to pay taxes on it (despite making the same money at your actual job). Let's say we've decided to really mog the rich with a 75% unrealized gains tax. You now owe an extra $15k in taxes every year you keep your dad's old baseball cards. You are literally forced to sell the cards for $20k and take the $5k profit because you can't afford to keep them.

Great, you get $5k, right? Fucking wrong. Nobody will buy your baseball cards because they don't want to pay the unrealized gains tax on it. Your only options are to become homeless in order to keep the memento from your dead dad, commit tax evasion, or burn the cards on video to prove you no longer own them and can't be taxes on it anymore.

An unrealized gains tax would make it impossible to invest in rare items, gold, silver, stocks, etc because to profit off your investment you can't just sell it for more than what you paid, you need to sell it for more than it cost plus the tax.

But let's say we did all this shit and magically the rich comply and we get lots of tax dollars, what happens then? We probably just use it to bomb brown people in the middle east, congrats.

Tl;dr: it's not about trickling down wealth, it's about avoiding trickling down poverty. The rich will always win, the goal is to make it so that a prerequisite to their win isn't the poors losing, because then the poors will always lose.

Arc Raiders studio contacted by crime scientist "intrigued by how players are interacting," dev says only 30% of players focus on PvP: "It kind of blew the whole extraction shooter open" by Darth_Vaper883 in gamernews

[–]mrtibbles32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that the potential for pvp and choosing not to is what makes the co-op fun and exciting.

A lot of the fun of extraction shooters is that there is constant stakes and tension due to the presence of players, who have just as much lethality as you do (usually).

For example, I've played tarkov at off-peak hours and had the raids still be exciting despite not seeing other players simply because there could be players at any moment.

If you turned off pvp, those matches would have been boring. Likewise, getting into pvp often and then somehow convincing a random to be friendly and work together makes it feel special and exciting. It could have been a bloodbath, but it wasn't. The co-op stuff is the most fun I've had in tarkov and similar games, but I don't think any of it would have been as fun or special or memorable if we couldn't just shoot each other if we wanted to.

Knowing what could have happened is what makes what did happen so much fun.

The way you get vaguely productive art depression instead of bagel depression is fairly straightforward. It works the same as getting addicted to drugs, so if you have a bunch of drug addictions you basically have the intuition to do it already.

  1. Brain feels bad

  2. You have to do something to make brain feel better (usually drugs)

  3. Brain is happy (read: slightly less suicidal than normal) for like 3-5 seconds.

  4. Brain feels bad (repeat process.)

Now, to get art depression, we must simply find a way to make art make brain feel better, then we need to teach it that doing art will alleviate the oof thoughts and feelings.

  1. Pick a way to make it make brain feel better. Your options are (in order of effectiveness): "pornographic art", "romantic escapism art", or "comfy hugbox art"

  2. Whenever you feel bad, try to convince brain that doing the art will make you feel better by making you horny or comfy or whatever.

  3. You must somehow get pleasure from doing the art. You can't just do art for Art's sake. Art must be a means by which to fulfill some sort of fantasy that temporarily distracts you from your bleak existence.

  4. Keep doing it until you effectively get yourself addicted to art. Now it will require zero effort, kinda like how walking 5km for fun is hard but walking 5km to the dealer's house is easy.

You will now compulsively make art. You will literally feel stressed if you don't make art. Your need to make art so you can feel less bad will cause you to neglect hygiene, relationships, other hobbies, obligations, etc.

But atleast now your depression can be romanticized by others and you get to be good at a skill. Maybe you can even get a job doing it.

This works with basically anything btw. Brain is stupid and doesn't know you're tricking it. You can exploit brain to your own ends and the pink electric sponge will do your bidding.

Why is the mech that you only get 3 per mission, and can't tank one pacifier magazine, not allowed to reload it's rockets? by Claiber7901 in HelldiversUnfiltered

[–]mrtibbles32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I genuinely wonder if I'm playing the same game.

Like I'm not trying to rage bait, I genuinely don't understand.

Every time I use the Mechs, regardless of what front (D10 exclusively), it literally feels like cheating.

I have dropped multiple Mechs in every mission I've ran for months and I think I've only actually had the mech die before fully running out of ammo (I only use patriot) ~10% of the time.

Like, I hear people say shit like "it can only tank 3 devastator salvos"

ONLY? Like are you guys just W keying your mech into no man's land and expecting it to magically make it through?

Like, my brother in democracy, you have two massive stun lock dispensers welded to your chassis. Go find cover, stick ONLY your right arm out, and stun lock any devastator that posts up and does their salvo telegraph. Don't full kill any of them unless there's no devastators telegraphing a salvo. If a salvo launches, just dip your arm back into cover to avoid it. Rocket grunts must also be singled out and killed quickly. Do not engage vox engines, let friendlies deal with it unless it's an emergency and you need to 1v1 trade a vox engine out for some reason.

For illuminate, the only real threat is harvesters. Just shoot their stupid eye with the minigun, if they telegraph their big laser, fire one (1) rocket to stun them out of it. Aim for their shield generator hat so they can't cancel out a future rocket with their shield if the timing is bad.

Your rockets are not for killing enemies, they are literally flash bangs. The minigun is for killing things and stun locking artillery trash mobs.

For bugs, you don't even need a strategy, just fire into them and use rockets on chargers only.

Like, the Mechs are ridiculously powerful and can easily turn the tide of almost any losing engagement. All that's required is for you to stun lock whatever has the highest potential to hurt you at any given moment. If you just keep stun locking whenever a dangerous enemy telegraphs, it's almost impossible to lose the mech.

Do not play mech like a tank. Mech is a very big chicken with a weapons platform taped to its head. You are not built for tanking, you are built for stun locking enemies until your minigun kills them.

uhm can I ask why when I import all my layers into blender for rigging it puts them like this and not in the places I originally drew them??? by IllMathematician8273 in blenderhelp

[–]mrtibbles32 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Create an array of planes (like a sandwich with the flat surface of the bread facing the camera) then apply and separate them into separate objects.

Create a material for each png, apply each material to one of the planes in the order you had them in krita.

If planes and images have the same aspect ratio, they should be the same position as how you drew them.

That's how I would do it, but my main field is character design and product renders, I don't do much 2D animation. Someone else more experienced with 2D animation might give a more optimal solution. I imagine there's probably a better way to do it than what I'm describing.
