the nigger stuff is really boring, cringey, uncreative and stupid though and a website called niggasin.space is actually better than that -
2019-12-09 at 2:46 AM UTC in notification when quotedThis has been suggested before. In terms of the concept I don't mind it as an option. The two issues as I see it are:
- It has to be opt-out to be useful. But that also makes it abusable-by-default. The two ways to do opt-out are mention target full opt-out which means people are going to be crying to me when someone tags them in every shitpost because they have a binary on/off toggle or user-to-user mentioner opt out kind of like "blocking" (e.g. I don't want speckles to be able to flood my notifications with mentions so I go add him to my block list) which in terms of implementation is significantly more work for the server, more effort to code, more effort to maintain and a less intuitive user experience no matter which way you look at it which is an issue because we live in a world where people still PM me because they don't know how to resize images for avatars.
- The implementation is inherently expensive and a pain in the neck. Right now when someone makes a post we basically just throw it in the database. That's nice. That's fast. That's one query. We don't even need a transaction for it. If we potentially need to send out notifications on every new post then it means to need to parse posts when we get them, we need to do a query for every user mentioned to determine if they exist or not, we need to do at least one more query per notification to be sent out. Then reasonably we need to open a transaction to do all this because there are race conditions like "mention target spawns/disappears/blocks/unblocks while this is happening". Then if we go the "@-mention" route we either need to do this process again during post rendering or create shitty heavy new JS to support mention-by-pk in a way that's half way usable. This is all a big performance hit and requires parse-time restrictions to keep it from being a DoS vector.
The whole thing is complicated and expensive and probably costs a lot more than it's worth. If someone really wants to do it I'd consider quote only notifications with mention-target binary opt-out to be the best option since there's no read penalty and the UI isn't a total nightmare. But as it stands it's not something I'm super excited about. -

I currently use a pentel sign pen for drawing but it's pretty nice to write with too. I've also got a Pilot G-2 0.7 ball point pen which is practically bulletproof. These are my main carry pens.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2019-12-06 at 9:52 PM UTC in The R'tarded thread: The Shitfucking Edidtion π©πLast night I had a dream where I for some reason got really close in proximity to one of my all time favourite old ladies at the nursing home and within a split second she was projectile pissing and shitting into my mouth while cussing me out, and then I woke up trying to get my head out of the way and much to my relief I just had some massive drops of drool on my cheek.

2019-12-04 at 11:18 PM UTC in 3d printing general threadAnyone else fuck with trendy science plastics? I'm learning it and trying to build a company around it (to build one specific automotive related part that can be customized) and I'm having a hard time with autodesk. Not intuitive at all for me in terms of customizing designs and getting scale correct. I'm buying two more printers sometime before christmas but should get chinky with autodesk first. Killed tinkercad and just need to fine tune designs. Anyone know of any good resources for getting better at this kinda thing. Basically we're going to be marketing the product (and the customizable manufacturing potential) like we have it figured out and can bang shit off all day, but with something that would likely require minor detail changes between orders, it can be annoying. I also need a better business partner because the current one I have is kinda out to lunch. Also the TPE's we're using could use more flexibility.
That's just what I'm going through right now. This thread is for all things 3d printer related, from guns to dildos. I think it's the only thread I've made outside of GS and it will get 0 repliesThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

It was pukey green from the mixture of marijuana and cocaine as well as molly. I scraped the table once and paid someone to take a couple puffs off a joint I rolled of it and it smelled like death but he was already fucked up so it was hard to tell what it didThe following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

The individual wrapping is good, because it wakes it possible to walk away for a while and come back to it. I donβt like sitting at the table for two hours straight working on a liver.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire!

2019-10-22 at 10:14 PM UTC in Giving up on this book"The first cigarette of the morning is the best," Wren said. "That's the one that wakes you up. It's the only cigarette that matters."
"Well..." Sudo paused to take a puff. "What about the second and third cigarette? Those are pretty good too. And the last one's not bad either."
"Oh the last one's the worst."
"The worst?" Sudo questioned.
"The worst," he reiterated. "The last cigarette of the day is truly a dreaded thing. It's the tired cap to yet another night on this awful fucking planet. But the first? The first cigarette has hope. You can step outside and think of things like: 'Maybe it'll get better today. Maybe today I'll quit smoking. Maybe today I'll meet the girl of my dreams'. The last cigarette has no maybes. It's cold and dark and depressing, and there's no hope of quitting with it. There's no hope of anything."
"Yeah, okay," Sudo said. His face flickered with orange as Wren struggled to light another cigarette. They had been smoking all night.
"The second is alright though. Third one too. It's just that last one I don't like." Wren stared down at the floor. A cat meowed in the distance. "Hey, can you pass me another beer?"
"Sure."
The two sat for some time, contemplating which cigarette of the night would be their last. Wren hoped to at least get another five in.
"Hey I think it's happening," Sudo said. "Look."
Wren half-sat out of his chair, glancing briefly at the sky beyond the window. "Oh yeah, it's happening alright. Pass me the lighter would you?"
"How long do you think it's going to take?"
"I don't know."
"Really though, how long?" Sudo asked. "An hour, two?" The sky was quickly turning to a vibrant yellow. Wren stood up to close the curtain.
"I think less than that. Maybe just a few more lines of dialogue. I was watching the news this morning and they said it could be a matter of seconds."
"Oh. Okay." The thought of having a beer passed briefly through Sudo's head, but he had already decided that he wouldn't. It was best to stay in Allah's good graces during these final moments.
"So is there anything you want to talk about? Anything at all?" Sudo wiped the sweat from his brow. The room was getting hotter.
"No," Wren said, taking a long pull from his diminishing cigarette. "I think this is it though."
"Is it?"
"Yeah," he said, scratching at his beard. "Well, no. One more. I'll have one more. You have that lighter again?"
"Sure man. Anything." Sudo handed over the lighter, wishing it was a BIC. Why hadn't they gotten a BIC?
Wren cupped his hands over the faithful stick and took a drag, making the room glow orange for the last time, as they drifted slowly, but surely, into the sun.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2019-10-22 at 3:35 AM UTC in Ok, an "official" goodbye thread might be prudentAbout 10 hours ago, I signed out of NiS on all my devices.
I thought of making an official goodbye thread, but they are almost universally followed up by casual posting like 12-36 hours later.
So I thought, why not just rip it off like a bandaid.
But, perhaps in a drunken instinctual response, found myself looking at an NiS thread suddenly, and it was Aldra's post, and I just had to respond because I can't leave a homie hanging.
But anyway, I have decided to leave NiS this morning.
I love like 99% of you, so it was not an easy decision to make.
But, I've been noticing a general trend in my life towards the negative lately, and, while correlation certainly does not imply causality, the underlying pattern cannot be ignored.
And then, the incident that just kinda sealed the deal...
That one person (the 1%) that actually fucking pisses me off around here (captain falcon, in case anyone is wondering), sent me a goddamn P fucking M just to tell me how much he despises me.
Like... I can take insults and all that on the forums, but it's kinda fucked up to wake up to shit like that on my PMs.
So, having been considering leaving (merely to try new avenues in life), combined with actual bullshit like that, I have decided to take a break of indetermined length.
But I love the vast majority of you.
If anyone was offended by my periodical liquor and boner induced sexist rants, I apologize.
If you ever found my use of the N word or the F word ("faggot", not "fuck"), I appologize.
With the one and only sole exception of captain falcon, you all have been great and it's a heartfelt goodbye.
But, goodbye.
Sometimes, life needs a new perspective. -
