I really want to read the rest of those comics, but it's just a bit too pretentious for me. I can't stand philosophy nowadays anyway.
This is probably going to make you want to read it less but I love existential comics and highly recommend it -

Those posts from LSD about finding all those drugs, rerolling a bunch of roaches, that shit cracked me up. -

Try rust if you love frustration and the worst of the human condition. -

:o
Figure out what these pictures mean
Because of ashley's low self esteem you managed to pressure her into making a runescape account to have cybersex. however runescape doesn't have that so the closest you could get is talking her into standing by a well which represents a vagina and taking screen caps. -

There are no twinkly guitars
ergo you will fail to make successful emo -
2016-05-29 at 4:31 AM UTC in When people say "on my day off"4 responses and no answer, nice work guys.
A lot of people actually work 7 days week at a single job, and multiple shifts at that. You seriously are fucking dense.
Google says there's a law against more than 6 consecutive days of work, which seems reasonable. Why would I be dense for not knowing this?

2016-05-28 at 11:49 PM UTC in When people say "on my day off"Is the implication that like they only get one day off per week instead of a two day weekend? Or does every day off count as "my day off"? Also do people actually work 6 days a week at a single job? I thought there were labor laws about that kind of thing.

You just gave me the aevice to choke myself if a bad thought pops up before 10pm. Hahaha. LOL.
Do you life like that?
Yeah, but he only chokes himself as a reward for doing something good, like not totally butchering trying to play a megadeth song for the hundredth time in a day. -
2016-05-27 at 2:43 AM UTC in Tips for not hating life: Your Ideas EditionThere's pretty much one thing in my life where if I do it I feel fundamentally fulfilled and if I don't I hate myself with a passion. Sometimes I just get in a slump, or get lazy, and it can be hard to dig myself out of a hole like that. The only way I ever feel better is by just white knuckling it until I'm back in a good place, but often the first step to getting there is distraction. Easy things where there's a definite success condition help, usually small, something I can get done in minutes to an hour or two. Stuff like doing the dishes I've let pile up, doing a fixed amount of exercise, or reading a given number of pages of a book each day and give a sense of progress. Even if it's not really the thing I want to be doing with my life, setting goals and following through on them can give a sense of confidence you sometimes need to get out of a bad place.

2016-05-25 at 5:27 AM UTC in Favorite shell?
Prompt riching? You mean like expansion? Or customisation?
Just the prompt line, like the jazz that precedes the "$". It includes git branch info, vim-mode status readout, and a custom notation I use to orient where I am. cwd in my prompt cuts off after 24 characters so on an 80-wide terminal it's still readable, but I work on like 3 different SVN branches with a deep file hierarchy so it's hard to tell at a glance which branch I'm on. So if I'm in one of those SVN branches it reads out a compact breakdown of which branch and part of the hierarchy I'm in.Also, that's a good thought, just write your own shell, makes you appreciate the complexity of the shell as a whole i imagine. In general, what language is a shell written in? I know i've seen them in all kinds of languages. But for some reason i tend to imagine a proper shell isn't written in a high level language, even though it's possible to make system calls in python for example.
Most your classic shells (bash, borne, ksh) and bash-like shells (zsh, fish) are written in C. There isn't any particular reason really, OSs are still largely written in C and a shell's pretty much the first userland program you're going to write so chances are a given shell author is going to be a C programmer. Also the OS docs are going to be in C if anything and you work with them a lot in writing a shell. Also on resource constrained systems spinning up an interpreter for each shell could be prohibitive.
There are plenty of examples of shells written in high level languages, but none are particularly popular as far as I'm aware.vBul is super simple to setup. My point is it hurts the admin's credibility as a tech guru when he fails to address some of his own site's shortcomings. If that doesn't matter, then it doesn't matter. Nothing we discuss here really matters anyway.
I'm not particularly concerned with my credibility as a tech guru, I've only ever claimed to be a code monkey. I'll also point out I didn't write vB5, and PMs being busted isn't a config issue. -

Like that. You can be so autistic,
So what? How does something being like something in a movie serve as evidence it's a reality?
"Hey, birds started attacking and killing people!"
"That's stupid, why would they do that? I can't see any birds doing that anywhere"
"No man, it's actually happening. It's like that movies The Birds!"
"yeah bro, good argument, I'm going to go buy a hokey mask and make a flamethrower out of an aerosol can to fight them off when they come"
"good idea dude"Do you want me to dig up medical/legal records?
I would consider that pretty strong evidence for the idea that umbilical-cord-still-attached rape has happened, I don't have any particularly strong desire to confirm or deny such a claim however.Is it really so hard to believe that in a world this large and depraved it's bound to have happened?
No, it's not really that hard to believe but then unicorns aren't particularly hard to believe in either I just don't have any good reason to do so. -
2016-05-24 at 2:27 AM UTC in Sex Crime Investigators
No, this actually happened. Have you seen "A Serbian Film"? It was likely just like that, unless the anus was too small (maybe they just used the tip or they used something else to penetrate it.
You realize a Serbian Film is fiction right? And how could you possibly know if it's happened or not?Why must you doubt me, Lanny?
To be clear I'm not doubting any such interview exists, but at very best we have the non-binding testimony of one person on a sensationalist doco and absolutely no way of verifying the truth of his claim. I'm not saying it's beyond possibility, I'm saying we have basically no evidence to judge by, definitely not enough to confidently say "it actually happened". -
2016-05-24 at 2:22 AM UTC in The retarded thread: Fuck, §m£ÂgØL made one first editionAnyone ever tried a sensory deprivation tank before? Just found out there's one a couple of blocks from here, thinking about giving it a whirl, might be fun.

2016-05-24 at 2:12 AM UTC in Favorite shell?zsh is one of the first things I install on a dev machine. I don't do too much with it above and beyond it's bash compat, mostly some prompt ricing and its vi emulation, although the latter is pretty shit on the whole, it's better than nothing. I have this fantasy of writing a shell that's runs vim in a subproc (so it loads your .vimrc) and shuttles keystrokes and visual state back and forth from the shell. Also adding some s-expression syntax to disambiguate multi-line constructs hopefully making editing them something better that a total nightmare.

I recall an interview with someone with this position. He stated that he had seen infants with the umbilical cord still attached being molested.
Sounds like something you could make up and no one would ever be able to call you on.
It is an interesting idea though. I imagine you really only need to look a kiddie porn under whatever trivial clerical conditions a couple of time per case, there would only be so many per year, I can't imagine there's a specific person who's actual job is to watch kiddie porn. I like thinking about that dude though, if he did exist. What would he tell his friends about what he does? You think of a lot of funny/tragic situations to come out of being accustomed to that kind of thing, as it's easy to be, and the societal expectations that every kiddy-rape is a personally-horrific thing to witness. -

Reading some bad things about Oculus. I mean, it is Facebook, it shouldn't be too surprising if this eventually occurred and was speculated on, the main concern, from the start.
Lanny, have you thought about cancelling your preorder and eventually (I remember your post stating you were too busy too likely use it much for some time) ordering the Vive? It does seem to have better hardware, and comes with room scale and controllers already available.
That link is just some guy bitching with no actual critique of oculus.
Although I am considering jumping ship for reasons other than the hype train that seems to run consumer VR discussion, "wait N months for motion controllers you have to buy at an undisclosed price" is pretty stupid and the steam partnership says something.
