No shit, can't believe we're wasting electricity on this kind of bot output.

> ADHD, not so much

So you're one of those "I can't see it so therefore they're making it up" people. No point in continuing the discussion with you then

> I think that reality is basically made of habit.

This statement is not self explanatory and reeks of performative profoundness, care to elaborate?

> Habit is a bigger deal than you think.

Feels like we're just adding the element of mystery to the profoundness to imply you have a deeper understanding than someone else in an attempt to get out of defending your position.

I hope not, I genuinely would rather find out you do actually have the answer to all my issues!

> I think this has nothing to do with commonality and more to do with the fact everyone I know who is autistic (I work in tech) has been obsessively getting themselves diagnosed with things since they were like 14 like its a religion.

I hope you decide to keep that opinion to yourself in the future and not tell people that what they are experiencing isn't real.

> Just has a new thing wrong with them weekly

So, you see multiple people experiencing a new medical ailment or symptom "every week" and think all these people are faking an issue so well it fools a doctor? What about my severe plaque psoriasis, T-1 Diabetes, and POTS?

Am I just imagining the giant red inflamed scaly patches of skin on each one of my joints?

Am I just psychosomatically making my body not produce insulin?

Im just making up that my blood pressure drops so low from standing too fast that I get tunnel vision?

Your opinion causes people like me to spend 20 years of their life to hide and ignore the problems they experience until they are so bad we can't function as human beings anymore. And the sad part of it is, if we (the patients) actually understood what we were dealing with early on in life, a lot of these problems can be avoided.

It's a shame so many people share your ignorant opinion and tendency to shame what you can't understand, you'll never comprehend how deeply that effects the people you are saying it about.

I was keeping a Windows install around solely to play Fortnite with my kids but they've finally found other games.

Rocket League performance on Linux used to be the other big reason but about 4 months ago I fired it up and found it ran smoother (the random stutters I have suffered through on Windows are not there on Linux).

Now that those two are no longer relevant I can finally reclaim that wasted SSD storage.

As someone in their mid 30's who followed Ron Paul back in the early 2000's, I have a hard time understanding this sentiment when, at least back then, "Your rights end where mine begin" was their foundation.

Idk, I don't have any loyalty towards any of these political parties so it shouldn't bother me but part of me gets defensive when I hear them described this way today. (Hell, I remember being the weirdo anti-interventionist in my circles and it was always the tea party ass hats that were uncomfortably enthusiastic about offing people they didn't like).

I picked up a Rexing dash cam a few months back and after getting frustrated with how clunky it is to get footage of it, I decided to look into building something out myself to browse and download the recordings without having to pull the SD card. While scrolling through the recordings, I explicitly remember thinking it would be nice to just describe what I was looking for and run a search. Looking forward to incorporating this into my project.

Thanks for sharing!

Millennial checking in: At this point I'd probably fall over in shock if I managed to get an "uh huh" from someone.

Was actually talking about this with my kid yesterday and I decided it would be fun to just dig in and return the stare and see how long it takes for them to break (if they even do!)

Might be worth checking out the "Copenhagen Suborbitals" group (they have a YouTube channel) and see if they're still active! It's been years but I think I recall they were trying to build something capable of getting a person into space (not sure if orbit was a goal).

> Open Street Maps does exactly this, and could do with more volunteers and/or donations.

I've used osm in the past but haven't heard of them supporting AR style mapping submissions of points of interest, do you have any links to resources on that?

Found a few links to projects that fit this description in an awesome-mpv repo.

Appreciate you mentioning the MPV route for making clips, I might actually go through and process all the game recordings I saved for clips over the years.

> HAH! Deep dreams.

More of an inner reflection on what it would take for me to get behind it hence the last part of that statement lol.

>> but it being tied to the whims of a corporation (even one that's been less shitty than most) makes it hard to get behind

I wish I could elevate that scenario to the level of a dream lol

Niantic has been doing this for a long time starting with Ingress. I've maybe done a handful of scans in PoGo but as others have mentioned the rewards were just not worth the trouble. The rewards for doing it in Ingress were much better (at least back in the day).

I'm more split on my feelings towards it these days given our current political/social climate but part of me still thinks the idea of mapping the real world in great detail is a worthy endeavor if it can be done "right". I'd probably be more inclined to support it if they would release the data or make it publicly accessible for others to use but it being tied to the whims of a corporation (even one that's been less shitty than most) makes it hard to get behind.

The OG was alive and kicking when I hopped back on a year and a half ago. No where near what it used to have as far as active players go but in my big city area there are still lots of active OGs and new people hopping on.

One of my favorite Easter eggs that I discovered on my own was the "Elvis has left the building" message you get when you ran over the entire line of Elvis impersonators walking down the street. I Can't remember off the top of my head if it was GTA 2 or 3.

My #1 favorite was accidentally discovering that if you shoot some missiles at the Statue of Liberty in Twisted Metal 2.
