Chernobyl kills maybe a few thousand people, and it's major world news for decades.
The Derna Dam collapses and kills twenty thousand people, and I just now heard about it three months later.

It’s just “scary radiation is scary” Boomer nonsense.
I’m old enough to remember when scientists confidently assured us that 800×600 resolution was all that was needed and the human eye couldn’t really perceive any more detail than that.
That was around 1994 or so. Can you imagine living with 800×600 now? Looks like garbage, right? But that was common “knowledge” back then. Common “knowledge” these days is that no one can possibly distinguish between 1080p and 4K. Sure, buddy. Heard that story before. Just as much an absurd lie this time too.
Probably the upper human vision limit of being able to notice any difference under ideal conditions is 32K on a 27″ monitor. Many people, however, truly wouldn’t be able to distinguish anything at or above about 8K.
And those are the actual limits of human vision, as opposed to the clown pseudoscience a lot of faux-scientists seem to pull out of their ass every few years.
I wish to superglue everyone’s tongue who had anything to do with WebExtensions at Mozilla to an angry ferret.
That is all.
By the way, the best strategy for this is not punching the assailant in the face. That’s just gonna hurt your hand and might not even do much damage, especially if you’re not used to throwing punches. And some people like me are really hard to faze with strikes to the head.
I’d go for his legs to put him on the ground and stomp on his face. Fast, effective, and he won’t be getting up again anytime soon. It’d knock the girlfriend down, too, but that’s so much better than doing nothing. The attacker is doing fuck all to protect himself so he’s a very easy target. I’d toast him so hard in that situation his new nickname would be “English Muffin.”
That guy is such a painful-to-watch mook loser, though. I hope she left him two seconds after this occurred.
Just taking a screenshot of this as it’s extremely likely to be removed by the mods and the poster banned.
Oh that reminds me. I can’t post one because she asked me not to put any photos of her on the internet long ago and I will honor that, but many years ago I took a photo of my (at the time) girlfriend in front of some old cornstalks in autumn.
She had beautiful and completely natural blonde hair and the dead stalks were exactly the same color as her hair.
I showed the photos to a friend and she complained that they they were “staged.” I said of course the pics were staged. We we driving. We saw the corn. I said, “I bet you’d look lovely in front of that corn that’s the same color as your hair.” We pulled over and I snapped a few shots on Kodak 35mm slide film. We got back in the car.
The photos turned out great and we were both proud of of them. To this day, I cannot imagine what my friend was expecting. That we were just walking through some random cornfield and started taking photos? That some corn just started growing around my gf and we stood there until it matured and then died and then I snapped the photos? It reminds me of how a lot of Gen Z doesn’t seem to understand that movies can be complete fiction.
Just such a weird thing to say.
Key to my photography is that I have nothing in my house that is ugly. That's it. I don't have the prettiest things, I just refuse to have ugly stuff.
This leads to nice photos. People say they are staged! https://t.co/TH9Z0A38Ac

That’s ok, dude. People used to say my photos were staged too. But no, I am just damn good.
What makes it funny is these were mostly nature and wildlife photos that received this complaint. It remains a mystery to me exactly how the fuck people thought I got an alligator to stand anywhere, or a bird to fly and land somewhere. Or any wild animal to do anything. But, sure, “staged.” Clown idiots rule all.
Like half the posts on Reddit now are some Gen Z goofus complaining about how sex is icky. They sound like little kids worried about cooties even if they’re 27.
I suspect now that I’ve written add-ons that are at the edge of what Firefox is capable of doing, the clown-ass motherfuckers who call themselves “developers” in charge of the application will find out and nuke all that functionality.
Can’t have anything actually useful, can we? Of course not.
One of the reasons I haven’t written much about what my add-ons actually do is because I am fairly sure a few of those doofs who banned me from Reddit due to criticism of Mozilla still stalk this blog.
Women stigmatizing completely normal male sexuality is also a (dark triad) variant of female intrasexual competition. It’s an attempt to stymie men who might otherwise not desire them, to limit their range of options.
No, none of this is conscious (for the most part). In fact, most human behavior is not — and is far more effective if it remains that way. But that is what is occurring nonetheless.
My friend always claims she can tell if someone is Asian before they turn around, but how?
Is this some kid of joke? Hair, of course! Asian people’s hair looks very notably different than white or black people’s hair.
Hell, I can tell if someone is (Asian) Indian or non-Indian Asian before they turn around, even if I cannot see their skin.
It’s not even hard.
A lot of people want you to apologize to them for why they suck. I refuse to do it. To those same people, not excusing their failures makes you a bully.
Still not apologizing.
Where do they go to find dipshits like this?
Basic UI: A menu entry that includes text and a visual element (photo, icon, symbol) is more distinguishable and can be identified more quickly than one with only one of those items.
It seems we’ve just chosen to ignore 50+ years of UI/UX research and lessons and sprint headlong towards the clown crap this crappy clown wants. I cannot understand it. He’s simply wrong. Not as a guess or a preference or an opinion, but just objectively incorrect about how human brains, vision systems and UI/UX work and what they’re even for.
Icons and/or symbols increase the distinguishability and legibility even if the icon isn’t by itself enough to know what a menu items does. People do not do their homework anymore and they don’t know anything. It’s all just unwarranted guesses and out of left field completely-unresearched assumptions.
From my perspective, no matter what a lot of people’s IQ actually is, most people seem to have the intelligence level of a lead-poisoned toddler. Are people even trying anymore? Doesn’t appear so.
I couldn’t care less about how Git works. I don’t like the feeling of turds smeared on my face, and technologically speaking that’s what Git is like to me.
That chart is talked about all the time on this website, and it is wrong every time.

Oh, fucking clown. Real product compensation is not a good measure of inflation or compensation as the average worker experiences it. This is just an over-educated attempt to sneak something in that most people won’t know what it means to make himself look clever while dunking on his enemies. Well I’m smarter than he is by far and here’s why it’s bunk.
RPC is based on the Producer Price Index, which is a measure of the price of what firms sell. The worker & family actually experiences inflation as the Consumer Price Index (or at least far closer to), which is rent, food, healthcare and all those essentials of living. So, check this out: if the price of making things rises faster than the CPI, real product compensation will make the worker look much better off even if their actual cost of living isn’t improving much at all.
In other words, as usual this econ is attempting to con you. After all, it’s right in the name of the profession. It’s what most of them are paid to do.
There’s about five other things wrong with this RPC way of measure this but I just don’t have time to write about them all. A clownish asinine dipshit is all this dude is. Should’ve gotten a real education somewhere, but probably doesn’t have the brain to handle it.
