As with Yuzu, I won't be buying any more switch games. I'll still be playing switch games, and so will my friends, but we won't my buying them.

Honestly, I've lived watching emulators for decades. They can come and go and there's always more, even ones that aren't forks. Just today I was reminiscing on my first emulators, zsnes, no$gmb and nesticle. Y'all remember the peaceful zsnes snowfall? Good times.

Everyday angry is usually due to stupid and/or entitled people, but as a teen I experienced blind rage before and that's a lot harder to explain. You kind of blank out and go after someone, fast heart rate, high blood pressure, truly beast mode. That was usually from bullying or dealing with my alcoholic father, though.

Now a days anger is probably closer to irritation than anything. Which is kind of a shame, I used to use anger to get things done. I once was so angry at a teacher for an unfair C in an art class that I channeled that into the most haunted self portrait I think he ever saw for the final. I ultimately got an A. Does spite count as it's own emotion? Lol

Yeah that sounds like standard Bob's Furniture. My dad often ordered from them, and still does since he never seems to learn and low prices hijack his common sense.

It's funny to see both Jon Stewart and Dave Chappelle take two very distinct paths into old age. Actually true of most people in that movie, lol

I was a little confused too (plus it doesn't help that the joke itself isn't very clear) but I'll boil down my own thinking:

  • The Dunning Kruger effect is just that people bias towards thinking themselves more knowledgeable than they are when they lack expertise.
  • The brain is probably human, and maybe healthy, if Google image search is to be believed. I've had anatomy classes with very dead brains to look at and brains certainly look like that (?) but plenty of primate brains look that way, too.
  • I think OPs joke is that the second brain is the same, only measured differently because of said bias.
  • It's likely everyone in the comments have limited expertise and thus may be demonstrating said effect by correcting one another.

I'm still not getting the joke but I think it's funny enough that us commenters of commenters are questioning things and might be the only ones not experiencing the Dunning Kruger effect. Lol

Ate the nonion, as it were.

Ah I love putting in sick ASCII art into my notes in R and other programming syntax. My advisors did not appreciate it as much as I did.

Felt a bit heavy handed in writing, but once I got to the asshole "sell a cow and buy a bull" I laughed because I've actually seen that idiotic meme before. Gets a pass from me!

That was technically my thinking too, haha. If you're ever targeted by this (and it can be as simple as having a Google image placeholder in an unindexed page) you just need to be stubborn and spiteful. It's not worth their time with so many other patsies, haha.

I think it's funny they'll probably paint this as him being a bigger target because Chaaaaina wants Harris to win. But we know it's probably because his people are inept and Harris (and probably DNC, and Dems in general) probably receive more attention and just don't open malicious emails as often.

Not that DNC isn't inept... Just uh... Less inept.

Reminds me of my kids slinky she messed up. That building will never be the same after the giant toddler played with it...

Having been sued by copyright vultures, I definitely get the difficulty with court. The minimum just to have a lawyer retainer was 2500. The vultures told us to essentially give them 2400 and the problem would go away (a strongly worded email managed to get them off my back, but mostly because they clearly used bots).

I can see it weed out small cases less than that. I guess it'd help if I knew what people were sueing over.
