My interests are mobile phones and airplanes (mainly airliners).

MODERATORS
- Games (video, board, sports; if it's a game, I'm into it)
- Comedy
- Writing
And that's pretty much it.
What board games are you into right now? My partner collects them and we play some fun stuff!
The newest one I have is Survive: Escape from Atlantis.
Fermenting everything. I have made beer shout out [email protected] and sourdough bread for years. I just started a ginger bug to make me own sodas and have made jalapeno pickles for the first time. Next on my list is hot sauce.
Tell me more about the pickles, please? I love fresh jalapenos but haven't found a pickled one I really like, so maybe making my own would help.
My bumalum eats these all day: simple Japanese pickles. You might dig them, because they're easier than anything to make and can be eaten by the trough-load. They're ready super fast too.
@ladytaters @cashmaggot Japanese picked vegetables are the best! You can do this with quite a wide range, not just cucumbers
They're great. Kept their crunch more than store bought ones. No loss in heat. Nice tangy flavor. Any vegetable fermentation guide will work. I did a 3% salt solution and 3 weeks ferment.
- Video Games Mostly those that allow me to tinker or engineer or just optimize from a lot of options available to the player. Minecraft, especially with the Create Mod, is a great example. I can engineer to my heart's content with it. Space Engineers is one that if feels like I should love it but I have a hard time getting into it.
- Leftist Political Ideologies Mostly Marxism and it's sub-groups but also Anarcho-Communism as well. This includes the history of attempts at those systems and modern examples. Sometimes this gets frustrating when I encounter an unironic use of a wholly, or almost wholly, false point being brought out again. Unfortunately some of the big names have writing styles so dry they could sap the moisture from the Atlantic.
- World History in general Especially early to mid modern history and ancient history. Military history from any point in time is also pretty enjoyable to me. Sometimes it's frustrating like learning that a major problem of today was almost wholly caused by one person in the past having a particular preference for X over Y (ex Ford preferring internal combustion for his cars over battery power).
- Urban Design I like learning about what is and isn't effective in terms of how to build places that work for people. What makes places safer or more dangerous, how to reduce stress through little design tricks, and how places can be a net positive for the wider area they're in. Also trains on both large and small scale.
- Computer Programming/IT Out of all my interests this is the one I'm perusing as something I could have a job doing. Working with computers strikes a nice balance between rules being clear and exact and being open-ended enough to allow for creative solutions. Also learned I have a strong preference for C++ over Javascript. That may be because I learned C++ first and Javascript is a lot more typing intensive to do simple things.
Hey, are you the human that said that you felt uncomfortable with the weird movement? Cause someone here said that and said they were Anarcho-Communist and here ^^ You're saying that too. I, without reading anything (like a well informed human) have been kicking around what this concept could even be. I didn't want to read about it yet, because it's really easy to just tip-tap-type on the internet and *click* bing -> get an answer. But I wanted to kick around what this is. And I am still kind of at a loss. Best I can come to is Anarchism <---- Void order/government | Organized for the people/Equality ----> Communism. So you're like a...order-less egalitarian? Idk, you can give me the low-low or I can start giving it a lookie loo, but it's what I came to.
On history, I have been trying to tease this out of my brain as well. But more so this concept that humans are not wholly different than we ever have been. Even if technology has changed us. And I was thinking that perhaps we could use the basin of knowledge of historians to point towards past-follies which might help our current ones. I know someone on here had a fantastic explanation of fascism and how it often uses arguments that contradict themselves. I would love more easily digestible factoids that could be slowly spread en-masse to others to wake the masses from their lulls. I think it'd be pretty great. Also thanks to someone on here I spent about three hours chunking through the 30 Year War earlier. I wish history was one of my fixations, but it is fun to dabble with.
Urban design is interesting, because I think the way American cities are built are pretty bunk and I would love to see a revitalization movement not full of all those weird mod-esq blocky greige apartments. I wish we upped the foot traffic and downed the car traffic. Trains are great too, not sure why America didn't want to install rails all over the joint. I feel crippled if I don't have a Metro I can hop on =
If you have a quaint personality and can communicate well you can do well as a dev. I wish you could be a cave troll, living in isolation, rolling out code waterfall style. I want to hunt whoever created Scrum Most Dangerous Game style. But that's just me. If you dig C++, study C++. It doesn't really matter what language you learn, just that you understand the concepts behind the act. And then you can translate that to other languages if you need to - and pick up the nuances as you go. And of course, first and foremost just being able to understand what to look up and what to reach out over.
Eh.
But I'm not genius or nothing. Either way feel free to talk back =)
Actually I'm a Marxist. However don't see much reason in perpetuating the red/black divide. Both groups have the same end-goal in mind, we just want to do the two major steps in reverse order compared to each-other. The end goal is a stateless society without need of currency and without the division of people into different classes. To drastically oversimplify centuries of work to get there we need to do two things:
- Abolish Capitalism
- Abolish Nationalism
Side note: As you may be able to infer from those two steps Anarcho-Capitalism and National Socialism aren't really from either system, rather they've pretty much just stolen the terms for their use rather that denote relatedness to other Anarcho-s or Socialisms.
Communists want to do them in the order I presented, generally by seizing control of the State and using it to destroy capitalism then adopting reforms to slowly make the State pointless. Anarchists want to destroy the State first then get rid of Capitalism.
One big misconception about Anarchism is that it isn't for chaos and disorder, it's for the end of unjustified hierarchy. An actual Anarchist experiment would still have social order, rather than be the chaotic social breakdown that is called Anarchism as a means of disinformation. A lot of Anarchist works explain how systems of voluntary cooperation can work and would be helpful to society.
Unfortunately America's bad urban design is the product of legal corruption, lobbying, on the part of the automotive industry. Good urban design invalidates any need for a car and so the companies that make and sell cars pour billions into ensuring that ours will continue to be horrible. We used to have trains that went everywhere and they were great but again that was all unraveled for the sake of the dead-last worst way to move people in bulk: cars.
I don't think it's just in-part due to legal corruption. I mean of course a SLEW of it is racism. Which is fucking bonkers, because white people left the cities to get away from poc only to come back and kick them all out (which is where we're at right now). I don't entirely understand this world, let alone this country but I bang my head when I have a solid think about it.
Capitalism is for sure flawed. I am not sure what the equivalent would be that could be replaced large scale that would sit harmoniously with others and in that sense I am also at a loss.
I think the concept behind the chaos of anarchy is that the lack of a social contract is in fact what instills the chaos. Because people do not operate well in a space without them. Which I think...was documented with violence. As in, people used to lean heavily on retaliation murder prior to democracy being instilled. But this is just something I am parroting which is a faint memory from my studies. Personally? I don't know. I do think though, that people without regulation are chaotic in the sense that no matter how much I want to be a "good boss" I always end up being a "fun boss" instead and people only do as much as they think they can get away with doing instead of doing what seems to be the right amount of work for the greater good. This could be a personal bias thing - or just a personality thing in general. I don't know much else about it though, and these are just some loose thoughts on the matter. Feel free to toss more this way though.
Capitalism is for sure flawed. I, and most if not all leftists, would argue that it is inherently flawed. Not in small ways either but in the sort of large ways that make it's continued use unacceptable. Such as essentially every Human need being denied to some people within the system.
Capitalism obsessively distributes by market forces that are fundamentally incapable of caring about universality. So long as any human need is distributed by market forces, especially paired with profit as the driving incentive, it doesn't matter how large the surplus of it is people will be deprived of it.
I think the concept behind the chaos of anarchy is that the lack of a social contract Well, there's also the matter that Anarchism and Communism were both relatively recently the targets of the largest and most prolific propaganda machine ever made. US media is incredibly sycophantic toward the government, to the point Russian state media bucks the line more frequently, and has been extremely effective at coloring public opinion on topics the average person knows effectively nothing about, even beyond the USA.
that people without regulation are chaotic in the sense that no matter how much I want to be a "good boss" I always end up being a "fun boss" instead and people only do as much as they think they can get away with doing instead of doing what seems to be the right amount of work for the greater good.
You're a manager? Part of the issue with motivating workers to work without systemic change is that regardless of your managerial style we live in a system where the primary motivating force is fundamentally a death threat: work or die, likely from exposure or starvation.
Further no matter how good a manager you are they are not receiving the full value of their labor. No company in any capitalist nation employs people at the full value they produce as that would mean net profit for the company from that employee is $0. As the fundamental motivating force for all companies is increasing profit this course of action is effectively impossible as all decision-making at the topmost level is centered around doing the opposite of giving the full value they receive.
Given that workers, from the company's perspective, are there to do as much as possible for as little as possible in return is it any wonder that so many of them take the inverse perspective? That they are there to do as little as possible for as much as possible in return.
Audhd here, so way too many interests to list (short list here: https://social.vivaldi.net/@Murdoc). But my biggest long-standing one is called Technocracy. Not how the word gets used most of the time today, but rather the proposed sustainable and post-scarcity economic system devised in the 1920s. Not only is it just interesting from being a novel and well-designed system, but it deals with so many important issues like poverty, environmentalism, sexism, racism, crime, and all in an objective, hard scientific way (i.e. not "political science"). All that science and progressivism (from 100 years ago too!) just delights my autistic brain no end. Here's my attempt to make the topic more accessible to the modern audience: https://technate.org/tiki-index.php
AU-D-FREAKIN'-H-D!!!!! Yo!
Top link doesn't work here =<
I was thinking about this the other day. I kinda wanted to do an askie-poo here but I just said feh! But if we could speak on alternate time lines - how could we have changed the world in order to set it up for the success of the most plausible amount of individuals versus the sort of caste-goop we've got going on right now.
GL on building your TIKI by the by, maybe you should ask the question and invite others to participate in building it?
🙂 👋
Weird, the link works for me. :/
Oh, I've certainly thought of alternate time-lines. Aspiring writer here. Trying to turn one of them into a novel (well, novel series lol), but you know, ADHD. So I could certainly talk at length about that.
Thanks. I've tried getting help. What few have accepted never seemed to have the time, or else they had too much trouble with the wiki paradigm? Idk. It's been a struggle. Which is too bad since I tend to work better (i.e. more often) when others are involved.
I'm really into radio tech (licensed amateur operator), tabletop RPGs, video games, and fictional religions.
What RPGs? I'm currently reading through Girl By Moonlight, which is a derivative of the Blades in the Dark system, and it's fantastic. Also Brindlewood Bay is charming AF
- On Sundays, I play Pathfinder Second Edition, more specifically the Fate walkers campaign.
- On Tuesdays, I play Star Wars Saga Edition, a homebrew dark side campaign.
- On Saturdays, I ordinarily have a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay campaign going on, but my GM is laying the groundwork for the rest of our adventure so we're on hiatus.
They're all tons of fun. I also have a solo game which I mentioned in another reply.
I have yet to try Pathfinder 2nd, but I'm glad to hear it's good! We had a really fun first edition campaign running for awhile.
I've heard that 1e and 2e are very different games, but I haven't played 1e. What I like about 2e is the consistency of mechanics - for example, pretty much every spell and effect with a saving throw has results based on whether you rolled a Critical Success (10+DC or more), Success (>=DC), Failure (<DC), or Critical Failure (DC-10 or less). This applies to attacks as well, any time you roll 10 or higher than the enemy's AC you get a Critical Hit which doubles the damage you deal. There's also a standard set of conditions that all spells, special abilities, etc. draw from that are clearly explained.
I don't have any serious experience GMing 2e, but everyone I've talked to online says that the encounter math is extremely well thought-out. Whereas some TTRPGs value simplicity, or the player power fantasy, or any number of things - diversity is the strength of the hobby - PF2e's focuses are balance and consistency. You can still have a ton of fun in PF2e (I smile when I think of the time my three party members and I held off no fewer than thirteen enemy bandits in one frantic combat), but you can reliably expect two parties at a given level to be about the same power level, building your encounters accordingly. A big part of this is the fact that rolling for stats is a variant rule rather than the default. You get fixed bonuses to certain stats during character creation based on your ancestry, background, and class. Your health starts at a number based on your ancestry, class, and Constitution modifier. Your health goes up a fixed amount every level based on your class and Constitution modifier. And finally, the full multiclassing system that exists in D&D is replaced with the Archetype system by which you can pick a feature of another class, or just favoring a specific playstyle, every time you get a class feat. (A popular variant rule that a lot of tables use is the Free Archetype rule, where you get a free Archetype feat in addition to your class feats. Helps spice up the build variety without letting things get out of control.)
If you're curious about playing Pathfinder Second Edition, you can read all of the rules text for everything they've ever published on Archives of Nethys for free thanks to a special partnership Paizo has with that site and the very permissive license that Paizo uses. Foundry VTT also has legendary support for the system. If you like books, you can buy PDFs for a steep discount on Paizo's website.
Radio tech is cool, ever knew one person who dug it. My childhood bestie's dad. He finessed the hey outta his van and just chilled out in his 70s style decked out phat ass van and would listen to his RV.
Right now I have a very solid rotation of TTRPGs:
- On Sundays, I play Pathfinder Second Edition with some people I met online.
- On Tuesdays, I play Star Wars Saga Edition with people I've known for years.
- On Saturdays, I ordinarily play Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay 4e, but the campaign is sorta on hiatus right now while the GM prepares for the next leg of our adventure.
I also have a solo game of Pathfinder 2e using the Mythic Gamemaster Emulator going on that is just... insane, it really went out of control fast. It started with three guys, Dave, Grimgir, and Goru, who wanted to find Dave's missing father. They went to a place a few days' journey away from the capital and came back to find that the local wizard academy had started a coup so they could have their own independent government, Dave's dad is a massive criminal with a rap sheet a mile long, and he got turned in to the government by the revolution he helped start. Where I last left off, Dave and co. ended the siege of the academy by deactivating their defenses from the outside, and then asked dad why he did it. Turns out he had sold his soul to a devil long before Dave was born in exchange for a perfect marriage and a happy family; they found that out moments before justice was carried out on him.
Radio is one of the most complicated fields of electrical engineering. What should work doesn't, and what shouldn't work does. It's amazing that these little gizmos work at all, given that the guy who discovered radio waves for the first time said he thought it was completely pointless. When my class wrote an essay on the most influential technologies of the early 20th century, everyone else wrote about the car. I wrote about the radio, because it paved the way for nearly every wireless technology we have today. If radio didn't exist, we'd all be stuck on landlines and ethernet forever.
I'm into nail art, Seinfeld and watching my cats destroy my house... and I usually enjoy them all at once.
I dig Dr. Katz so I think we're in the same ballpark here? Seinfeld was never my jam though, not gunna lie. Nail art is cool...but I swear to god it's the mortal enemy of dykes. But I could be wrong. Just saying, I don't want polish in places I don't want polish =P!
Cats, I love the idea of them but unfortunately am allergic. Which is also incompatible with a certain lifestyle of mine =P! I've got weasels, they destroy plenty enough =P! I'm currently patch-working the hey outta the couch for that reason.
My nail art is all gel. It doesn't chip and does "dry" until I'm ready, which let's you do really cool stuff like this 3D pizza nail I did.

Schtapp! I had no clue, but also that's freakin' adorable and I totally dig your work as it's so clearly your passion =)
Thanks so much!
Pro wrestling, specifically AEW, NXT and Mystery Wrestling. I'm a sucker for good comedy wrestling, and Chuck Taylor is my favorite male wrestler (even though he had to mostly retire this year). https://youtu.be/zlAHrHL_FCc?si=kaj76TB8WZP78nSj links to one of Chuck's best spots, the BOLA grenade!
Rabbits. Rabbits are incredible. They're not rodents even though their teeth continue growing throughout their lives, and they have no paw pads. They're basically like having tiny cuddly fuzzy deer or horses in your house without the poop issues.
Pokemon first gen, particularly Jigglypuff and her evolution family including Scream Tail. I found out today that Rachael Lillis, the original anime voice of Jigglypuff (and Misty, and Jessie) passed away this weekend and I'm a little heartbroken.
I'm also crazy about rogue-likes and rogue-lites, and I can't wait for Hades 2 to officially release 😁
Idk if you're into wrestling games but they've got some pretty fucking naners ones on Steam. But people like you always keep me alive. Cause legitimately I never had a personal direct interest in wrestling, but growing up my folks who did always kept me in the know. And you guys have so much passion it gives me life. I've seen a couple of gigs and it's always super entertaining. I've pretty much got one guy left in the life and his joy is contagious. Only catch is I don't understand a damn thing about the game anymore. Simple example is I have absolutely no clue who Chuck Taylor is (I was like - shoes?) BUT! You're so jazzed and I dig that.
Rabbits are incredible! I can't have them, because my lovelies sustain off of them =_o!! Their paws are wonderful though, I agree. As are the paws of chinchillas. Not the same, but the only other creature I can think of that is int he same boat. Not sure if you're into camp and absolute goofy horror but they made a horror movie with cutie bunnies called Night of the Lepus.
Hmm, RIP!
Gunna put my favo rl here. Plop.

I'm not huge on playing the games but I love watching people play through them! Fire Pro is fucking bonkers.
I really appreciate it :) My coworkers mostly think it's adorable but childish (even the ones who love wrestling), but when I can get really into telling wrestling stories it's so satisfying and fun~! For example, if you really want to understand one of the current catchphrases in AEW, you literally have to start with a ring name from 20 years ago.

What are your 'lovelies'? I love hearing about pets!!
And thank you for the recommendation! I think I have this on my steam list to play, so I'll have to check it out!
FUCK YEAH BUNNIES
RIGHT?!?!
Do you know shattered pixel dungeon? Its an open source rougelike that you can play on your smartphone or pc.
I hadn't heard of that one! Can you tell me more about it?
Its a pixelart rougelike that i found somewhere in my linux package list, tried out, and liked. I could tell you about some mechanics, but its probably better to see for yourself at its website http://shatteredpixel.com/shatteredpd/ or the pixeldungeon community [email protected] .
Analyzing stuff (especially code) down to the last detail on that layer of abstraction. I can tell you one fact about how bad MCreator generated code is, and a lot more about random code bugs (often minecraft related).
The local train line i use nearly daily during the semester.
A bit less reading manga and watching anime.
I also play a bit of osu.
But generally nearly everything that is some kind of intrinsic relation (not names or model numbers but how something works etc.) is interesting for me.
Ooo, I didn't know what MCreator is but I looked it up. Oh yeah, for sure - autogen code is pretty awful. I think it's getting better with ML, but I think in general a part of the reason why they generate "spaghetti code" is so that people can't just a) copy their idea and create a cloned generator and b) people who use services (I mean MCreator I think is free?) can't start to analyze code and figure out how things work and then actually just branch of and create simple websites they self-host instead of paying a monthly or annual fee.
Toss me a cool manga? The last one I read was askfhafkhasfkh....let me have a think...Ichi the Killer. Not my typical bag, but I was on this Takashi Miike kick and I wanted to see the manga behind his infamous movie.
I've met people who have beautiful minds like yours that take apart electronics and build new things from old items. I really dig people like that. It's helped me branch out into trying more on my own. It's also expanded the lifespan of most of my day-to-day devices which I dig. So keep being you, and pass on the inspiration to others =)
Mcreator is so bad, if you do a raycast you do it three times. Once for each coordinate axis.
To recommend you a manga i would like to know what kind of manga you like to read. So for now i just tell you the general recommendation of Dungeon Meshi (aka Delicious in Dungeon). Its about a group of adventurers exploring a Dungeon to rescue the sister of one of them. But since they had no time to prepare for that they eat stuff from the dungeon (monster meat, fungi, plants that grow in there). You can probably read it at your local library.
Yeah, that is kind of sketch. I wonder if it's done that way because when they compile it each function is written as a single line as to not confuse the compiler? (As in there was some kind of bug found that they found that they chose the simplest route to fix even if it's the most convoluted/memory intensive manner of fixing it.)
I just asked for whatever you dug and figured I would check it out and if I liked it I would read it and if it wasn't my cup of tea no harm, no foul =)! Thanks for passing it on. I used to read a lot more manga, but I had the itch for something and I am more apt as a person on the whole to read something suggested than tracked down. So thanks again =)! Esp the cute little summary. I feel like this could be a cute game, or a mod. Which by the by, you should make =P!
I assume it is that way so they don't let the users deal with the Position type directly. But that is speculation on my side.
I could try making a mod out of part of the mechanics described and shown in the manga, but that would take a long time. If i remember it when i'm back at my pc i'm gonna put it into my list of ideas for programming projects (but it will probably take years until i actually start creating the mod)
