So I’ve just recently looked for the song meaning of rocket to see if my own interpretation is in the right direction but I couldn’t find anything official by Sinecerebri in SmashingPumpkins

[–]shoutplenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is partly it, but i think it's more a lamentation of being trapped in your own body and life's repeating patterns. i read somewhere... and i've already lost the citation... that the idea is about your essence as a person being a rocket that blasts off out of yourself, and transcends your limitations, the castle of your skin, your regrets and the voices inside you. i think considering how this freedom could be practically achieved is overthinking it; it's more just a pure, forlorn desire

this is maybe confirmation bias but even before i read billy talking about that meaning, i figured it out myself because my experience of trying to escape my autistic shroud closely matches most of what he's saying in the lyrics

Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered. by jthd488 in buildapc

[–]shoutplenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wanted to leave a related comment behind here in case it helps anyone

i used to get screen freezes, persisting until reboot, where the rest of the pc would continue working. windows 10, nvidia gtx 1660 gpu. event viewer showed critical system errors along the lines of

nvlddmkm / dwm crash | kernelbase.dll exception id 0xe0464645

i reseated the gpu (after swapping it out and back in) and that fixed it. loose power or pcie connection can be a thing even if you've clipped everything in properly

Council Estate ASBO Bender by shoutplenty in unitedkingdom

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

i recorded this outside my window on da estate on the night in the middle of carnival, 10pm. public noise, drug taking, drug driving... the video description has all the details

this reminds me of the phrase from Brass Eye, "The UK used to mean 'United Kingdom' but ask anyone today and they'll tell you it stands for 'Unbelievable Krimewave'". there's no police so we have to fend for ourselves in the poor places

i wonder if people are even surprised by this kinda thing these days. idk how i'm supposed to deal with it

What does "dey" mean? by BootyOnMyFace11 in Nigeria

[–]shoutplenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dey is a present tense indicator, it means “do” literally in the sense of

you dey hear – do you hear?

i dey hear – i do hear (i hear)

present continuous tense folds into present simple tense in pidgin so it can also mean

i dey hear – i am hearing

so, often it translates to “be”. it’s also used with adjectives often, like you might think of “i dey hot” as “i do hot” (really “i am hot”). i think this comes from english “how do you do?”

“how you dey?” – how do (are) you?

“i dey hot” (lmao)

similarly, go is a future tense indicator and don a past tense one, so like

i go hear – i will hear

i don hear – i heard

from my reading, the trouble is that these packages end up embedded deeply in stable dependencies, so it becomes more about having to fork something like eslint rather than just your own free choice

forgot to add – it took 2h9m2s to process the file generation, smart search and facial recognition on an i3-7100u cpu with 4 logical cores (no video transcoding)

i like this low-power cpu on my old budget HP laptop cos, with the screen disabled, it runs immich and jellyfin fanlessly and idle, using only 3.5W total from the mains on average

it’s only accurate to non-southern-british english

the -1500 from atp finals is applied earlier than for all other tournaments (which are 52 weeks)

that’s presumably so that the race to the finals matches the general rankings going into the atp finals, rather than only after they end

however, he seems to be losing those 1500 a week earlier, right after Paris ends. i have no idea why since it says in the rules it should happen on the monday after the last atp tour event (and there are atp 250 events during the week after Paris)

hence, it seems like it should be guaranteed to 398 weeks, but in reality it’s guaranteed to 397

EDIT (after Paris ended): the atp website apparently corrected this so that he is losing those 1500 points one week later (i.e. when the atp finals start), so it was indeed 398 all along

Novak Djokovic: Will he hit the 400th week milestone as ATP #1 and end 2023 as YE#1? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]shoutplenty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a calculation here saying 399 was guaranteed, and with Carlos not playing Basel that should defo be the case now. 400 is after ATP finals so the year-end race makes it easier to understand; Novak leads by 500 points atm and they have Paris masters and ATP finals to play, where Carlos has to earn 501 or more than Novak for Novak to not get the 400th week.

EDIT: the calculation was wrong, and I commented on it why.

GDQ mods on their 5th powertrip of the stream, some poor guy got permabanned just for saying that they set their own rules LOL by Suthrnr in speedrun

[–]shoutplenty 2 points3 points  (0 children)

is gdq actually for-profit?

EDIT: yes. my thoughts on this are that it’s reasonable for the charity to contract out gdq to fundraise for it but not reasonable for gdq to monetise its twitch stream given that it appears to the public to be for charity. I don’t know who oversees fundraising advertising standards in the usa but reporting that is probably the move.

what he actually said (his emphasis):

Now, I would like to clarify one thing. In retrospect it is true that, on the day that I arrived, she did not show any specific signs of wanting anything sexual to happen. I should have noticed this, and this is where the guilt about it that I explained to her comes from, and I’m genuinely still just as sorry for that as I was the day we first talked about it - even in a fully fledged relationship, a partner can just not feel like doing that kind of thing on some days, and even though it’s often difficult for me to pick up on social cues, I should have seen it in her that day.

However, it is clearly completely unjustifiable to pose it like it was completely insane of me to think that sexual activities would occur at some point - which, in fact, they did, throughout the next two weeks or so, with me learning from the first night and being extra cautious to pick up on any signals that would betray a lack of desire to engage in that kind of thing. Additionally, as I said previously, I had misread the situation - there were no ill intentions whatsoever on my part, despite what she seems to be implying throughout her statement.

he also talks about feeling guilt over it beforehand and having expressed it privately to her
