    Stefan Edberg’s errant shot contributed to the death of a linesman back in 1983.

    Quick Google search got me that. Really easy. Literally exactly what the meme is saying: a tennis ball could make a lethal strike. You’re just full of shit all throughout this thread.

    Exactly. It’s basically some “infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters” shit.

    “Well if I had enough time eventually they will make a mistake and I’d get a point on a technicality so yeah, I could totally do it!”

    This person remembers they have to serve too, right? And actually return the ball. They won’t win just standing there and praying.

    Are you really trying to fact check me because I used the 1 in 8 statistic and you’re not a guy? Talk about moving goal posts. Doesn’t change the fact that it’s one game. You’re a jackass not worth arguing with. Have a night as great as yourself.

    And this is where reading comprehension is important. It doesn’t say what you want it to say. It says “game”. Not match, not set, not anything else.

    wElL aKsHuLly…

    No. Just no. You’re the 1 in 8 delusional person who thinks they could take on a top 1% athlete just because she’s a woman.


  • My only issue is when apparently someone can choose that “they”, a gender neutral pronoun, doesn’t apply to someone. I saw it in a recent Elliot Page post. Someone was getting ripped to shreds for talking about Elliot and saying “they”. “No it’s him! You’re trying to minimize his identity!” was basically the response. But the person was talking about Elliots work pre and post transition and you could tell they were taking great care to not offend, and yet it was still offensive apparently. Which was then made even funnier when others chimed in to point out that Elliot specifically asks to be referred to as “They/Him”.

    My whole point is that some people need to cool it when it comes to gender neutral pronouns. Lest we forget, “I’m a dude, he’s a dude, she’s a dude, we’re all dudes!”

    As for my ender: the quality control isn’t great. Sometimes you get a bad one and I think that was most of my issue. It had a nasty habit of diving straight into the heat bed. Might’ve been the autoleveler… I dunno. I just know I spent more time tinkering with the printer itself than actually printing. With my Bambus it really is “set it and forget it” for the most part.

    As for the dino: Lots of bondo and glue, yes lol. I’ll see if I can find it later. It’s on makerworld and you can find it in the Bambu app as well if you search around. He mentioned how much faster it was to print the pieces on his Bambu vs his ender and with the multicolor support, I was sold. My X1C currently runs 2 AMS so I rarely have to swap colors out too.

    It does have a purpose. I found the name of it once, but it’s basically choice confirmation. When you buy something and then shortly after see lots of ads of other people who bought the same thing and are really happy with it/it appears popular, it confirms to you that you made the right choice and should make it again if given the chance. This kind of “confirmation after the fact” advertising is especially used in larger purchases like a car. It reinforces the choice you made in your mind so you feel more satisfied with the brand itself.






  • So when I wrote about bots, I was describing them as an effect created by a cause. You went and reversed the two and are thinking I blamed bots.

    No.

    What I said was that voting based moderation is a popularity contest. An easy way to win popularity contests is to stuff the ballot. On the internet, you can do this with bots. Ergo, the rise in bots all over the Internet is a consequence of our popularity based algorithms and systems. That type of moderation just doesn’t work. But please, keep misunderstanding people and then blaming others. I’m sure that’ll help.

    If you’re gonna disagree with my idea, at least get it right. You’re not being downvotted heavily for not agreeing with the hive mind in the right way. You’re being downvotted for lacking reading comprehension and going off on a crazy sounding tangent.


  • Ahhh, the rallying cry of “just downvote it”. I’d insert the “this your first time?” gif here if I could. Leaving a community to self moderate invariably turns into a popularity contest, and then when one group eventually takes over, an echo chamber usually filled with the same regurgitated spam. “If you don’t like it just downvote it” or it’s reverse “well it has a lot of upvotes, so someone must like it”(welcome to why we have so many bots today…) always ends up catering to the terminally online at the detriment of the average person. People far too often will speak with absolute confidence about things they have never even experienced, but because it’s well formatted, it’s sent to the top. The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect describes this in part.

    And as someone who lives in California right by where the “high speed rail” that’s been promised for decades will be built, I’ll again point out that until other things progress, you cant remove cars, and acting any differently, like that sub often does, shows their niavette.
