A mediocre dude

Just a mediocre person trapped in their own personal hell. Fully an adult, 18 and under please don't follow. I'd rather not worry about being horny on main,.

ok so a wild rat just spit poison at me

slay ten of those for my ancient tarnished coin

Dude, Poison Rat venom glands sell for half a gold each. You need two, maybe three if you harvest them particularly poorly, to get that worth.

Which is besides the fact that ancient tarnished coin is a defunct currency. Valuable only as a collector's item.

This guy's a scammer.

I took a 6yo boy to his placement and as soon as I got him situated in the back he saw my SpongeBob driver’s license air freshener hanging on my rearview mirror. He asked if that’s really SpongeBob’s driver’s license and I said yeah it’s real. Then he asked where I got it if SpongeBob’s underwater so I told him I wore a helmet like Sandy and stole it from SpongeBob when he slept, and without missing a beat he goes “That’s identity fraud”

Technically, they're only called "Rabbits" when they're still beneath the earth's crust. Once they erupt (from their burrows), the proper term is "Bunnies".

I’m not sure what this proves. It’s not like walls with photorealistic pictures of roads on them are things that human drivers regularly meet and overcome

It shows that camera-based systems can be prone to optical illusions that lidar-based systems (which detect objects and their distances directly instead of trying to interpret an image) wouldn't be fooled by.

There was a news story from several years back where a semi truck was making a left turn across a mostly empty highway and a Tesla on autopilot plowed directly into the trailer at full speed, decapitating the driver, because the cameras were fooled in much the same way as the test above by the white trailer blending in with a cloud on the horizon.

Also, if you watch the video, the rest of the tests he did involved whether a Tesla car could identify a person (specifically using a child-sized mannequin) on the road on foggy days, in the rain or when there was bright lighting coming from the other direction. On three of the five tests, the Tesla failed to recognise the child and demolished the crash-test dummy so hard they had to pick up pieces from all around.

Gettier is screaming somewhere in the distance

supervillain concept that's like Poison Ivy but instead of avenging plants she's just, like, really pissed off about the shoddy mistreatment of pet fish. still incredibly sexy and a huge dyke, needless to say.

she wears, like, sexy fish halloween costumes. this kind of thing. she has tons of them.

and you think "oh haha that's just silly" and it is but crucially she's wearing that silly little outfit while she drowns you in your own miserable fish tank (she already safely relocated the fish)

this post was literally inspired by my visit to petsmart today and how nauseous the betta fish display made me akdjdjskd

cum has to taste like cum, ass has to taste like ass, balls have to taste like balls, pits have to taste like pits. being gay used to be the most exciting thing in the world and now it's nothing but douching for a fucking hookup.

being gay has become disneyfied.

there was a great study a few years that went into the whole "ppl online are bigger jerks than irl cuz theres a virtual wall and no repercussions" and the researchers were expecting to see that be the case but it turns out that people who were really angry or argumentative online were also found to just be assholes in person and people who were pretty patient and nice online were found to be patient and nice in real person as well

and it just debunked that whole cynical idea that people will naturally be mean if theres no punishment for it

the researchers found that being online didnt make people more hostile, but that being online allowed already hostile people to dominate forum conversations, and the less aggressive people were much less likely to reply or engage, ending in just the aggressive people bickering at eachother

Please note: this was a midterm ballot question. This only passed because people showed up to vote for something other than president. Please don't ignore local races.

Reminder of the importance of midterms.

And if your reps aren't putting these measures on the ballot? The importance of primaries and locals.
