Ahhhh fascinating.

For years, I've been adamant that when I stir a cup of hot tea or coffee, the pitch of the scraping spoon almost imperceptibly shifts, and assumed it was because of the gradual slight cooling of the water. Nobody else could seem to hear what I heard.

Wasn't sure if it was my music producer ears or imagination.

No Man's Sky - Finally lifting off the planet into space for the first time reignited my love of space and the cosmos. Made me feel awe and wonder

The Stanley Parable - never had a game make me laugh till I had tears in my eyes before. This game really fucks with your perception of what is real and just how common / predictable some gaming tropes have become

I try really hard to be respectful of someones pronoun choice but I will readily admit I find 'they/them' requires quite active concentration and thought not to refer to someone as she / he.

It doesn't bother me to just hit ESC after I open it, can see how that would bug others (though tbf that's the point, and it remains free for me to use despite escaping out of that request for decades). Are there any advantages in speed of compression by switching to a different program?

I'm a basic bitch, winrar for life. If I need mac compatibility I save as a zip instead of a rar. Seems I am alone in my basic bitchness, my assumption was that all compression utilities are doing the same thing... how come you're all using something different?

A fair question. It's just shoes with hidden wheels, anything where there's a visible effort that creates motion doesn't seem to trigger this odd phobia!

Wheels on kids shoes.

I am fully aware that this is massively influenced by my utter revulsion on seeing the Wheelers (Wizard of Oz) for the first time as a kid, but now I think about it, maybe it's actually dangerous too. Creeps me the fuck out though seeing a human being with motionless legs just glide past.

I tried, but they wouldn't let us into the nice pool, despite how hot a day it was, because they thought we were trash. We tried to make our own pool from an abandoned one, but instead we got trapped inside it

Slight tangent, but autocorrect seems to have gotten terrible the last year or so. My theory: as more and more people are using it, the initial dataset is being diluted by more and more bad typers. Instead of improving the dataset, it's pulling it in so many different directions that it doesn't know which way is up anymore

Build it and they will come edit someone already did!

I wonder, could this problem be solved by adding some 'junk' data to each access request? With that junk data being a unique identifier, so the authorities can setup a sting to catch whoever is selling access
