No particular reason, except that it’s a proprietary format I wrote myself, comparable compression to PNG, but totally different codebase and format.

There was a certain type of perfume that seemed popular back in the 90s, that would make me instantly gag and almost puke within seconds. I have no clue how anyone found that as any sort of pleasant smell.

To me I thought it smelled like a woman with a nasty yeast infection, trying to cover it up with potpourri. But it wasn’t even the women’s health causing it, literal potpourri smell alone causes me the same gag reflex, the stuff just smells nasty to me and I can’t be in the same room as that smell for long.

So yes, there are reasons to be offended by particular scents, even if others somehow find them pleasant.

I don’t even have half an idea what all foods do or don’t contain gluten, but I am still almost equally inclined to call out people just plain out being nasty, especially in a public space where they’re about to exchange paper cash.

Like shit, I totally respect paper cash, but FFS, try to make sure your hands are clean when handling or exchanging money. And definitely don’t be literally eating food with your bare hands right at the register before even paying for it.

Our park is mostly a water park for kids at the front, with a couple pavilions, and a boat ramp and senior citizen center in the back. So yes, it’s not an official dog park, but unofficial its accepted as one by pretty much everyone.

We keep him on the leash when there’s lots of people or other dogs around, but on days when the park is practically empty, we let him roam free and burn his calories.

He was abandoned for like 5 months out at the park before we decided to adopt him, so most regular park visitors already know him. Police officers approve, they even helped us adopt him.

He’s a medium size dog, and mostly chill, just sometimes playful. He’s never hurt anyone.

Of course that’s not true for all dogs though, hence why we’re very careful regarding what sort of days we might let him roam around off the leash.

Even though the woman proved to be a Karen, the cashiers working the store that day totally understood why I was upset. If only they had or enacted a policy of don’t consume any products in the store…

As far as the dog on the leash thing, we’re about 99% in favor of that, only exception being when we take our dog out to our city park, where we adopted him from as abandoned.

Brownie knows every inch of the park and I feel it would be wrong to not let him roam free occasionally when there’s not many people or other animals around. Those sort of days are few and far between though, so 99% of the time he’s on the leash.

My response might be sligtly convoluted, but I’ll try to keep it simple. It relates to allergies.

For me, I am extremely allergic to oysters, and largely also allergic to shellfish. I’m so badly allergic to oysters that I cannot be in the same room as someone else eating them, the smell alone makes me gag, my eyes water, and makes my bronchial tubes swell where I can’t even breathe.

I however am luckily not allergic to peanuts. Regardless, I totally understand how potentially deadly a peanut allergy can be to those with the allergy, and if I’m in a public place around strangers, I tend to assume that anyone around me might have a peanut allergy.

Last year, I was in line at a gas station, and the woman in front of me waiting to pay had bought boiled peanuts. And she was fucking shelling and eating the peanuts while waiting in line, the bitch couldn’t even wait to pay for them, with cash, and exit the store first.

I called her out on it, and even pretended that I did have a peanut allergy, and what she was doing was not only nasty, but also a danger to others handling her peanut juice covered money.

She proved to be a Karen and not give a fuck, but I did speak my mind, on behalf of people that could possibly fucking die over her nastiness and carelessness.

We are a result of our own ancestral design.

Think about it for just a few moments. When our ancient ancestors figured out how to make fire, rather than carry it around in a sled thanks to a lightning strike, everything changed…

You want more water? Turn off AI…

It’s done all three, more or less in that very order.

Initially, modern tech was a progressive tool, helping immensely with science, mathematics, and documenting history and literature.

Then it became commonplace, everyone and their grandma has the internet, posting their random brainfarts, cat memes and fails of the day.

Now we’re digressing, people using AI left and right, while simultaneously losing their own critical thinking skills, and also finding it harder and harder to double check anything without running into another AI brick wall.

Yes I realize your question is more about how tech has affected civilization. Technology has always been affecting civilization, so its done all three, evolved us, stagnated (I think peak useful tech and functioning generally happy civilization stagnated around 2014), and has been regressing since.

You just reminded me I have the first version of that game around somewhere, I might dig it back out one of these days soon.

Given that the average healthy body temperature is ~98.6⁰ F, and humidity on the Gulf Coast tends to be so high you gotta drink the air, I prefer temperatures 85⁰ or lower.

With high temperatures and high humidity, sweat can’t even evaporate, forcing your internal body temperature into unhealthy feverish levels. I’m not a fan of heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

I’m also not a fan of freezing temperatures either, but at least people can dress in layers to keep warm when it’s cold.

My 750 watt power supply took a shit years ago, but I was planning on trying to fix it when I got another one for scrap parts.

Once I finally got a scrap parts PSU, I opened up the 750W, and I found the bottom side of the board was covered in blackened soot, apparently ionized nicotine and dust.

I cleaned all that shit off with rubbing alcohol, an old toothbrush, paper towels and Q-Tips. Apparently that’s all it took to get it working again, yay!
