I did something like this when working support at Phillips

I thought it was funny but my colleagues and supervisor were not entertained lol

It is, in fact, very easy to code a game!

from pygame import game
game.load_player()
game.load_enemies()
game.load_audio()
game.run()

I wish science was a simple as taking the mean and confidence intervals.

update it faster

*cries in Deltarune fan*

Have you tried some data augmentation?

After some Googling I couldn’t find anything about “code-free” .exe’s or some “.EXE” framework, so probably just a joke.

Gave me flashbacks to my time working with Philips’ Tasy system in 2017.

By now they’ve surely finished implementing their HTML5 system which was somewhat better, but back then it was still a desktop app made using Delphi and Java, and it was basically as unsightly and unwieldy as the example in the meme lol

On purpose? I vaguely remember doing so once several years ago, but I don’t remember what the ad was for.

On desktop I’m at no risk of accidentally clicking on ads because I have uBlock Origin, but on mobile, more specifically on the YouTube app, I’ll occasionally accidentally tap an ad or “promoted” video.

Interesting. My body is also kinda fucked because of my bad decision to carry half my weight to school every day - now at 24 I already have a slightly hunched back and deal with back pain. I wonder if I should try some yoga…

An example of why this is incorrrect.

If a card is the ace of spades, it is black.

A card is black if and only if it is the ace of spades.

There are other conditions under which B (a card is black) can happen, so the second statement is not true.

A conclusion that would be correct is “If a card is not black, it is not the ace of spades.”. The condition is that if A is true B will also always be true, so if B is false we can be sure that A is false as well - i.e. “If not B, not A”.

We should really consider adding it to the DSM-5.

BITCH YOU MADE MUSTARD GAS

Don’t do my boy Megamind dirty like that, he’d never say such villainous things!

After looking for info on Wikipedia I only found one brief mention of school shooter fandoms in the “Columbine effect” page:

Since the advent of online social media, a fandom for shooters Harris and Klebold has had a documented presence on social media sites, especially Tumblr.[86] Fans of Harris and Klebold refer to themselves as “Columbiners.”[87] An article published in 2015 in the Journal of Transformative Works, a scholarly journal which focuses on the sociology of fandoms, noted that Columbiners were not fundamentally functionally different from more mainstream fandoms. Columbiners create fan art and fan fiction, and have a scholarly interest in the shooting.[73]

The articles they link to are:

1. How Tumblr’s True Crime Fandom Reacted to the Escape of a School Shooter

2. The Killer Crush: The Horror Of Teen Girls, From Columbiners To Beliebers

3. Fans of Columbine shooters Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold

I also found another interesting study on this titled “Glamorizing rampage online: School shooting fan communities on YouTube”.

They examined the network structure and social and psychological aspects of YouTube communities centered around school shootings, finding that they form a small-world network characterized by high clustering and low density, i.e. loosely-tied subgroups of fans. They argue that this network structure promotes the dissemination of hate ideology and justifications for mass violence, and also has the potential for anti-social behavior, which is consistent with previous analyses proposed by scholars. They also note that the people in these fandoms often talk about depression and other mental health problems, and argue that providing consultation to these people could help them leave these communities and reduce the spread of hateful rhetoric - however they also argue that the current reporting system may be insufficient to deal with these groups.

Article 1 also gives some anecdotal evidence of how some of these people justify their fandom by minimizing its ties to violence:

Shotsofdylan, the same blog that posted the bit of Dylan/T.J. fanfiction above, wrote:

“People who actually think we support murderers and condone their actions are fucking idiots. If you bothered to talk to most of us, we don’t condone anything bad they ever did. And most of us are intelligent, forgiving, compassionate people who learned a lot about humanity and life through the murderers we’re interested in. Don’t talk shit about us before you get to know us. Thanks.”

In the rare occasion that I feel like talking to someone I get on Discord either to chat or VC with acquaintances or randoms from servers that I like.

Nothing too big or embarrassing, but for a while I thought “nepotism” just meant the same as “narcissism” when it’s actually about favoritism towards one’s family.

IDK what you’re talking about but I do know that only Republicans defend child marriage.

Those delusional fucks think they’re the current Mozarts.

The UK is truly becoming a fascist hellhole.

“You’re allowed to protest, but only between 5PM and 6PM and you must get a permit and also don’t bother anyone or make too much noise and also you must walk at the right speed otherwise you’re just being a meanie and we’re going to arrest you >:(”

While I think some of Just Stop Oil’s previous antics were counterproductive to the public image of climate activists, arresting someone because they didn’t protest “at the right speed” is ridiculous. The whole point of protests is to be disruptive and bring attention to the protesters and their cause, and this is an incredibly mild way of doing it.
