vent

it really doesnt matter though

here's my prerogative

yellow isn't a skin tone so anyone can use it

you're free to use the skin toned emoji but that will make you an unrelenting coward

I have some that are yellow and some that are skin toned it’s just because I selected the skin color on accident

My 11th grade English teacher only used the black skin colored one when he is as white as I am

I use yellow because it's the default

For reference I’m very white

I don’t know if you have seen pictures or seen my face cam in calls b0b

what? you're black as hell mini

i've only ever seen you in the context of your face being soot-covered

All colors aside from yellow are weird to use

same with selecting alt-gendered emojis

😭 😔 😳 🥵 😎 🤤 😒 👍

these are the only "normal" emojis i use

everything else feels weird to me

🫠

this is one of my favorites

though the Discord one is not as good as other versions of it

🫃

This is one of my favorite emojis

Yellow is for simpsons

Had an epythany that having the secord word in my discord account be "Gades", which is the name of an evil god from the Lufia games might be idoletry. So I'm thinking of deleting my entire discord account, or atleast renaming it. But I'm not sure what my default name should be on other servers.

I think Phijkchu Pyrrhic is good

nah, Follow Pika's lead

Pyrrhic Klmobak

If its following my lead, you smash your keyboard and get something name shaped

Or maybe something showing you put god or jesus first?

Can you add + AI to signify AI's increasing importance in our daily lives

problem with Phijkchu Pyrrhic is it feels grammatically incorrect

Pyrrhijkchu

Double checked Deuteronomy. Idolotry covers having a Gades anime PFP. It doesn't explicitly say anything about usernames.

I just got scared by a japanese phishing text because utilities are confusing and I thought I had made a mistake

You know what, I am going to cross post this from my dms with polu, because I guess this can be server lore

have you heard this supposed thumping

yes

Also, has the "slide a letter under a random door" ever worked for anything?

If I was home I would've called the number they left to tell them it was not me

but uh, after the second letter I am just going to go tell the super that if I was reported for this, it was impossible for it to be me

I'd probably start thumping tbh, whenever the actual noise stopped I'd start

I am a tad more polite than you are

I think the first contact someone makes with you, being a letter slid under a door is impolite

I presume they knocked first before they opted to do a letter

but of course, I was not home

but yeah, apartment etiquette is weird

usually around colleges it tends to be better, since most people are students and have above-room-temp IQs

Yeah, except I do not live where students live (they all live on shithouse row right next to the school)

all old people and young families here

hopefully your building supervisor shares w/e funny story is going on with you

I doubt it, he's also old

RIP

this fat kid in my graphics lab was stimming doing a typing speed test. he got like 66 wpm. it was that fake easy one with all lowercase and no symbols too. genuinely had to hold in my laughter.

don't all those tests even sorta tell you that you suck if you score low

looks like this one doesn't

I'm impressed by anything over 120, good shit Pirate

also yeah, I like Monkeytype

I thought it sorta negged you if you scored low, guess not

Pirate really loves to flex his typing speed

when you have the loudest keyboard on earth, you're obligated to not be a typingcel

I think a lot of them post shit like "you're BELOW AVERAGE" if you score low because they also advertise some kind of typing course or want you to do typing practice while you watch more ads

I was going through physical documents at work this week, that were all from the 90s, most older than I am And rather than this being a normal Spooky rant about old things or w/e, I started thinking about the internet ~2011 is the breakpoint year I arrived at, anything before then is "old" anything after that is part of the modern web and our zeitgeist And that association is insane, given that is 15 years ago at this point.

But when existing on the internet, it sorta feels right to say, because when you look around *that's when everything happened, When you look at the ideas, projects, websites, and people from that era, there was still so much human-ness, sovl to be found When you dig into anything, so often it all stems from something some guy was doing in 2014-2018, or thereabouts

And I think for the generation before us, that's how they felt about the 90s, their culture, the early web, etc. Their era died in 2000-2001, and I feel like our era died during that 2020-2022 haze of time And its hard to not just feel like we're all just collectively chasing ghosts, extending the echoes of that era until some collective spark ushers in the next one and kicks things off once again

i've had a job where i had to archive 300-400 year old books and i was so mad i couldn't just take the time to read these old ledgers about dutch slavers in indonesia and what they were up to

Not me, the UWaterloo physics community is talking about how a prof is basically offloading their lectures to ChatGPT, but they are doing it live

One of the Google Gemini ads they show on TV has this as a usecase "OK Gemini, prepare a lesson plan for my class today"

I have not missed a lecture in my entire university career

I would just walk out

btw they are literally forcing new teachers to take classes on how to use AI in the classroom and make their materials.

We’re doomed Ventt

and exam on just complex division has got to be a remedial course

actually this is harder than I remember

I feel like I'm watching a star wars opening as my eyes read down this image

Had to go to a vegan place for work, the food was fucking horrible and the taste still isn't out of my mouth even after eating a burger and eating extremely spicy peppers.

should have opted not to eat
