What book(s) are you currently reading or listening? May 14
  • I finished Rigged by David Shimer just before this one. I really like the style of delivery here where there is seemingly no bias. A lot of quotes in the one I am currently reading, with evidence based context around it. Kind of letting you draw your own conclusions.

    I'm only two chapters in thus far, but I'm really enjoying it. I had to reach past Witch Hunt: The Story of the Greatest Mass Delusion in American Political History by Gregg Jarrett to get this one at the library, can only imagine the "facts" in that one.

  • Red Dead Redemption could finally be coming to PC, datamine suggests
  • AAA studios have taught me to be excited about nothing until after release. Even then, they can still take it away. I have a hard te believing this will be the labor of love this deserves, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

  • Alternative to bad parental advice: "Stand up to bullies"?
  • In the halls of my middle school, I felt like a ghost, invisible to everyone except the bullies who made my life a living hell. Every day, they taunted me, mocked my appearance, and tripped me in the hallway.

    I tried to ignore them, but the constant harassment wore me down. One day, pushed to my limit, I finally snapped. When the ringleader, Jake, shoved me into a locker, I swung back, landing a punch square on Jake's nose.

    The satisfaction of retaliation was fleeting as the principal's office became my next destination. Despite explaining my side, I was met with a stern lecture on violence and the consequences of my actions.

    But in that moment of defiance, something shifted within me. I realized that standing up for myself didn't have to involve fists. It meant finding the courage to speak out, seeking help from trusted adults, and refusing to let the bullies define me.

    That night my dad came into my room and savagely beat with a set of jumper cables for getting in trouble.

  • This was almost included as one of the sins
  • Definitely not me, my dad hates that after my brother did it.

    It all began innocently enough. My family had gathered for a lazy Sunday brunch, seeking refuge from the relentless sun.

    As the meal progressed, laughter and chatter filled the air. But amidst the joviality, a small ice cube managed to escape its glass prison, slipping onto the tiled floor with a barely audible tinkling sound.

    At first, it went unnoticed. But as fate would have it, my younger brother , perhaps distracted by the excitement of the day, accidentally kicked the wayward ice cube under the refrigerator with a careless flick of the foot.

    Initially, there was no reaction. But as the meal continued and the ice cube remained forgotten beneath the appliance, a subtle change began to take hold. The father, ever observant, caught sight of the ice cube's icy trail and the faint click as it disappeared beneath the fridge.

    At first, he said nothing, choosing instead to watch quietly as the ice cube remained trapped in its chilly exile. But with each passing minute, a sense of unease began to gnaw at him. The simple act of neglect, the disregard for tidiness and order, slowly chipped away at his patience.

    Finally, unable to contain his growing frustration, my father's voice broke through the cheerful din. "Did you just kick that ice cube under the fridge?" he asked, his tone deceptively calm.

    He then left the room, but quickly came back and beat my brother senseless with a set of jumper cables.

    I was handed this lovely flyer while grocery shopping

    I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.

    Looking for a program to help manage windows on an Ultrawide.

    I recently purchased a 32:9 monitor, and quickly realized I need a program to help snap windows to different positions, other than the default options Windows 11 provides.

    Is there anything recommended I can use for this? I'd like to be able to hold a keybind and snap the windows around with arrow keys if possible.

    Thanks!

    Gojira - From Mars to Sirius in the Mario 64 soundfont

    I found this channel on YouTube a few days ago, I've been listening to his mixes of these albums since.

    They mostly seem to be metal albums, and in a Q&A mentioned he tries to pull albums to mix from comments.
