  • What's the dumbest way you've sustained an injury, and what was the injury?

    Jump

  • I was camping as a child, and sitting on my dad's knee around the camp fire. I tucked my knees and arms into my shirt.My dad let go of me to scratch his head, and I, trapped within my shirt, rolled off his knee and onto a tree root.

    Broke my collar bone.Had to canoe out of the campsite the next day.

  • Those are known evils I know how to deal with, that are popular enough that there are foss tools to handle them.

    But I'm being a bit hyperbolic here. I'm not as paranoid as I'm portraying myself... I just don't have any motivation to click this particular risky link.

  • As a fellow comp sci graduate (different uni, long time ago) that doesn't fill me with a ton of confidence lol.

    This could actually be a study on phishing lolOr a less ethical study on virus propagationOr maybe he has just gone rogue and his university hasn't noticed because they probably don't actually monitor what students are hosting very closely, as long as it's not causing problematic network traffic.\

    I doubt it, but I'm still not gonna click a link that someone is asking me to click lol

  • Will the motherboard in my decade old desktop pc work with any new graphics card?

  • Probably it'll be fine, with a few exceptions.But probably it won't be worth the money unless you're getting a low end card

  • You're reply is disingenuous in the extreme, because nobody is this subtext illeteriate.

    His complaint is that someone else is making lots of money.

    He said he is making lots of money for someone else. He is making the money, therefore it is his money, not the money if the other person. It's like the "taxation is theft" people are unable to apply the same logic on the owners of the boots they lick.

    I didn't say he should be grateful

    You absolutely said he should be grateful for his job, you just didn't use those words. You mocked him for complaining about his job. Those two things are a distinction without meaning difference.This messaging is all over the media. If you're trying to say it isn't then you're either lying or you're tragically media illeteriate.

    You think that's the problem here

    You're the one complaining about his mental health.But no you're right, it's people like me online in 2025 who affected the mental health of the author of the [checks notes] 1975 book, causing him to use [gasp in horror] a literary flourish. Great job there, detective, you cracked the case!Thank god you didn't embarrass yourself at all!

  • They showed us a video like

    Acid makes you see sounds and taste colors, and isn't addictive... But don't do it!

    Before the video I absolutely had no desire to try acid, and after the video all I could think was like "what does a color taste like?!?!"

  • Y'all are missing the forrest for the trees

    God forbid someone add a bit of literary sugar to their argument, else they be picked apart by pedants.

    Your company is successful, is that a problem? You're getting paid too, right?

    Not getting paid commensurate to your contribution to the success of the company

    Who's asking/telling you how to feel about it?

    The news, society at large, people like you online posting replies like this very one

    Dude needs therapy

    Too bad it's unaffordable. Maybe you need to look at the state of society
