  • Had this explained once, I might miss a detail, but it’s like this:

    The only way not to drain your battery is to program in selective key words.

    “But then its always listening” yes, but also, no.

    Imagine someone speaking into a microphone, and seeing their voice bounce around on a oscilloscope.

    This compresses the audio a LOT, and makes it very difficult to discern the differences between words.

    But if you were trained to notice the pattern for a specific word, like “Siri”, then you could ignore all the other shapes, conserving your battery.

    Hygiene is like diet, one side does not fit all.

    I know people who smell like an acid bath after a few hours of work. They’ll get home, strip all the oil off their bodies, let their skin dry out and wonder why they smell like shit.

    Others can sweat it out, and not smell. When I ask them about their hygiene habits, it’s never a surprise to me to hear they don’t use soaps unless they’re very dirty.

    Then there’s Luke, fucking Luke. Smells like a rolled ball sack from the moment he leaves the shower. He even went to see a dermatologist about it and got told that’s just his microbiome. For Luke, I’m glad deodorant exists.

    Oh no, you’re going to make me be that guy lol.

    Ricing comes from “rice cooker”, meaning a Japanese car. The term is so far removed from any racial implications now, that some people say RICE means “Race Inspired Cosmetic Enhancements”, though it’s just an excuse where one need not exist.

    I regularly see people brigade for others to stop saying it, even though the word now exists on its own. People treat it like it’s comparable to something like the Washington “Redskins”, it isn’t.












  • I got to believe sometimes in that theory that when we should’ve died, our consciousness escapes to a parallel reality.

    I have had too many close calls. Statistically, I probably shouldn’t be alive.

    This one time my motorbikes front brake seized up as I slowed down to an intersection. I was thrown off my bike and landed as the lane cleared.

    Then the time I worked as a glazier and this dipshit dropped a giant pane of glass on his toe, which snapped in half and almost decapitated me.

    Then another time I was a half-second away from being t-boned on my drivers side door by someone doing 80km/h, thank you videogames for training my spacial awareness and reaction time.
