we still use faxes all the fuckin time and later this year laws come into effect that ban the transmission of prescriptions from faxes, well to be clearer they won’t be able to be used as a legal prescription anymore I don’t think they could ban that it happens altogether. the fax itself won’t go away, faxing is incredibly convenient for certain tasks

the printers at work scan and email poo poo for us?? works just like a fax except you put an email address instead of a phone number

and then the loser at the other end has to go out of their way and hit print just so they can read it and then there’s also an awful copy of it on the email server wasting precious megabytes

idk like strictly “phobic” is too strong of a word, like, my 8yo son doesn’t like seeing any kissing on a tv show or movie. if that feeling naturally arose in an adult when they saw two dudes kissing, did they put effort into that? it might take effort to care about it but the feeling off the bat just happens and doesn’t necessarily indicate fear

does it?

perhaps but that’s horrendously presumptuous and also relies on social norms and the environment in which someone was raised

my point being is that you can not like something without being anti it or afraid of it

funny tech poo poo u just remember

caring a lot about ripping software

reripping several times from cd
1. cd to a pirated fraunhaufer encoder
2. cd to lame
3 cd to a lossless format

cbr vs vbr

what was that music torrent site which fell over a few years ago and now spotify exists so no one cares


and you'd have to do a "secure" rip, or some poo poo? wtf

i absolutely hated private trackers. i would seed and seed and seed and nobody ever downloaded anything from me so i could never actually use the site

they said 'seed popular stuff!' and i went down this rabbit hole of trying to automate seeding of like garbage pop albums and poo poo in 320 flac and just ended up filling up my hard drive with garbage that i deleted
i'm sure there's a way to effectively use them but i'm also pretty sure that way involves being a loving torrent piracy nerd staring at a computer monitor for four hours a day

the only way was with a fast connection, so youd upload faster and get more raysh than others

its ridiculous because a high raysh means others have to have low ones

fivehead posted:

it was what.cd or waffles that had you take a “knowledge test” in IRC before being granted access


yes what.cd

but I'm talking about some kind of rip info file that went into the folder, that showed that what you ripped was 100% of what the CD was, that no error correction occured or skipping or anything

android send texts with sms instead of imessage, so their messages show up with green backgrounds instead of blue on ios. green background means the person sending you the text makes poor life decisions.

there was a local instagram chick who almost went on onlyfans and then gave up but I asked her about it and basically problem was onlyfans took like 30%, and you need to stay good ot be worthwhile. manyvids lol is probably a better place for people to do poo poo now and then and still make money, except manyvids lends HEAVILY into the hosed up porn poo poo arena, not really appropriate for local hottie to show off her boobies

best alpha bet is this one:


https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%CA%BCPhags-pa_script


came across it when looking up tibetan buddhism



this was my takeaway about tibetan buddhism


so basically buddhism is like, here's ya consciousness, lets look into it and see what it does and what it shows, and lots of techniques evolved around it
but some people decided that just doing meditation wasnt enough so lets discover all sorts of esoteric rituals to enhance what consciousness might do. tantric tricks. eat jizz. look at weird hosed up mandals. that kind of thing

also the pointing out instruction which i still cant grasp gently caress it all
