If you like, we can do the ol’ earpiece while I hide in the bushes trick.

It is the largest instance, or so I’ve heard, and I take that to mean it is the most plucked from the attitudes of the general public. Certainly how it feels over there.

I don’t know the specifics, but there is such a thing as keyboard rollover. MOST KEYBOARDS—whoa, sorry. Most keyboards support up to 6 keys at once, but it might be that they’re still divided into sections with lower rollover numbers, such as the arrow keys and space. Some “gaming” keyboards support up to 25 though, so your best bet if this bothers you is just upgrading to a spiffier typer.

I do try.
Not very hard, but still.

There’s actually a neat reason for this! The way that simple keys work, like those in a calculator, is by connecting a circuit and letting a small amount of voltage through. This is usually fine because the keypad is broken up into different rollover zones, which is how multi-key input works. But if you find and press keys that are all in the same zone, their voltages add up and can actually overwhelm the little cpu in there. Really old calculators were really easy to break because designers never thought users would need to press keys like division, multiplication, subtract, add, square and square root all at once, which as you can imagine, caused a massive power spike.

Now, is any of this true? I have no idea dude, you’re calculator was probably fucking haunted or something. I’d have taken that thing to a seance with a ouija board immediately.

My favorite was MathAlly. I still have it through some built-in android backwards compatibility emulator, but once it goes, it goes. They haven’t been on the app store for years.

And he and I can egg yours.
Round and round it goes~…

What, do you people own the word prompt now?

See, this piss-poor reading comprehension is why you shouldn’t let an LLM do your homework for you.

I took an entire week off for Rebirth, and the whole time was like “Whee! :D”

That’d be nice.

90 and 120 are rolling through the greens. Are posters mostly green? That seems odd to me.

<3

xD
Yeah, I didn’t know this technology existed.

Aww. I don’t think I really have advice other than allow yourself to be a little annoying. More people should do that, honestly. Otherwise, everyone gets busy and forgets each other until a birthday comes up.

I do want to extend a warm, welcome, Internet hug, though. <3

So, you imagine a world where friends of yours say things like “God, I want to kill people so badly. Fuck, I just wish society would let me.” And then what, they play Call of Duty until they climax?

If that’s how it is, god damn, maybe I do agree with Jack Thompson.

Is it actually “cute” that this person allegedly overinflates the worth of checkout labor, or were you being condescending?

Aww :D

I’ve been around enough to know they respect sometimes not being treated like children.

I’m not saying that a child who’s not ready for something should be forced to deal with it. The role of a parent is to be a safety net they can run back to every time the world gets a little too scary—literally, there are studies about this. But for a child that is ready, who wants to know, what I mean to find out is why you would reject them.

I don’t want to explain concpets that most actual adults cant understand, or even discuss in a mature way, to a child.

See, the worry I have is that things like this are the reason those adults don’t understand it. In some respects, these adults are still children because they were never given the opportunity to learn.

And it’s not like it can’t be useful to them. The fact that people can be abused, like certain aspects of it, then hate themselves for liking any part of it—I mean, I can think of a few “left alone with uncle” situations that really ring true here. If they can’t understand what they themselves are going through, I really don’t know what hope they have.

Just to reiterate, I’m not saying we should gather up every 4-year-old and show them a snuff film. What I am saying is that, to some degree, growing up is a self-directed process, and when somebody is ready to tackle something, they should at least be given the chance to experiment with those ideas. Even for adults: only as much as they can handle, and a warm, comfortable room when they can’t anymore.

I would be extremely uncomfortable having a conversation about why people stay with their abusers with a kid.

I… you don’t think they could learn from that?
I mean, if it’s really just that it’s too much work to explain, why would it make you uncomfortable?

to have to explain things like “the gray areas around coercion and nonconsensual sex” to someone else’s kid in a panel setting.

Why would the panel people be the one’s doing this?

Do the tickets to these events say that they’re adult only?

Like, a concert ticket in the alcohol section (which is only because they can’t be served) will specifically prohibit under-21s. I guess I’m just curious why an event would “exclude children” without going so far as to actually exclude them.

This comment reminds me of when Bitcoin became the world’s dominant currency.
