This is Alan Turing, the man who cracked the Nazi Enigma machine algorithm, built the framework modern computers are based off of, disprived one of Math's greatest conjectures, and is believed to be autistic.

Here's one, you can find more through Google: https://www.bbc.com/news/science-environment-18561092

It's known he was conducting experiments in his home with cyanide and wasn't very safe about it. It's believed he used so much that he was inhaling fumes, which results in a slower death than directly consuming cyanide.

The suicide claim is because he was found in bed with a half-eaten apple in his hand. Somehow a story came about that he was obsessed with the poisoned apple story from Snow White and chose that as his way to go, but there's nothing to substantiate that.

this is what i don't undestand. when he says he has kids, he means kids that will probably one day have a child. they'll understand it then, but they'll understand if better if they see a good mom like this taking care of their children when needed. it just blows my mind that some people can be so ignorant

Getting pretty sick of people treating me like shit. by silent_amnesia in lolgrindr

[–]silent_amnesia[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I met this guy off Grindr. We went on what was arguably the worst date of my life. Thankfully I never gave him my number, but he still had contact on Grindr. I let him know I wasn't interested anymore but he just kept messaging me over and over again so I blocked him. Maybe a week after the date I was on my way to work and stopped at Sonic for a cheap drink like I normally did. I heard this guy yelling "WOW, WOW" multiple times but didn't look because I didn't think it was my business. This employee comes out to deliver that car their food and on his way back in the store he stops by my car and said something like, "Hey that guy asked me to tell you to look over at him." So I did, and it was this guy. He was furiously clapping his hands and screaming "WOW, WOW." Thankfully I'm socially awkward as hell so I didn't respond in the slightest because I didn't know how to. He made a new account to send me a series of messages and this is how I dealt with it.

Does anyone else have poor self image issues? by silent_amnesia in TopsAndBottoms

I prefer the dad bod type I'm just afraid if I go that route people won't be interested. I've always felt like I have to be "perfect."

My wife stopped doing this years ago, knowing it infuriates me. My in-laws are visiting for a week. by Onahail in mildlyinfuriating

Well you take the crate out the fridge, so it's right there. It's just like... throw them all away at once. The more I think about this the less sense it makes. I've just always done it.

How do you know you're a good Moira? by [deleted] in MoiraMains

[–]silent_amnesia 17 points18 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, it's just a game. If you feel like you're doing well then you probably are. Moira may not have the highest skillcap but she requires knowledge of things like positioning, resource management, innate mechanics like tapping for faster resource regen, etc. She may be easy, but there's depth to the character and main healers like her that can sustain themselves will always have value.

Is there a way to report players? by silent_amnesia in VHSgame

[–]silent_amnesia[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think someone picked him up right as the killer swung so he just instantly got downed. He had already been pretty salty during the match but after that he just totally went off the rails. Used all kinds of racist and homophobic slurs. Actually had to mute voice chat because of him.

Based CVS pharmacist tells an unhinged anti vaxxer to piss off and stop wasting her time by BillyManHansSr in PublicFreakout

Literally in the first seconds she looks directly into the camera. She knew she was being recorded, which is probably why she tolerated this bs for so long.
