There are huge archives of flash animations and you can install a safe "emulator" for playing flash that even runs in your browser. Look up Ruffle. I can't remember the name of the big archive site I used, but it didn't take much googling. I know I was able to find Homestar, Larry Carlson, Adam Phillips (bitey), joe cartoon and salad fingers as well as a ton of games from back in the day.

I'm honestly fine just being a brain in a jar. Give me access to books and film and video games and I don't think I need a body. Is there a name for what's wrong with me?

This is awesome! I've been wanting to design a modular arcade and I'm going to use this as inspiration. I'm looking forward to seeing more of your MOCs, so keep it up!

If you're doing it right, containers are less like VMs and more like cgroups. If orchestrated correctly it uses less system resources to run lots of services on a single system/node.

That said, I'm a devops/infrastructure/network professional and not a developer, so maybe I'm missing something from the dev experience.... But I love containers.

Docker does kinda suck now, though. Use podman or another interface instead if you can help it.

Wait.... You're telling me that they continue to do crimes with guns even when the guns are illegal? Criminals? Really? I refuse to believe it.

What's the context for this? Did a doctor rat someone out or something?

I have never seen this actually happen and I have a lot of experience with gaming with randos (I'm old and I also started a gaming club in college that had over 75 members with at least 15 of them being female). I've been playing MTG and D&D at local shops for decades now and I've never once seen other dudes simping or fighting over a girl at the table.

Not saying it can't happen, nerds are nerds and do often lack social skills. But from my experience (and from what I've heard from my female gamer friends), this has got to be a rare situation.

I actually really enjoyed trig class.

I hated all math classes before it, but I had a great teacher and something about the real-life usefulness (triangulation, navigation, etc) of trig clicked for me and I enjoyed it and made an A.

I fucking failed the shit out of statistics, and hilariously that's the most related to my real life job, where I'm dealing with gigantic data sets daily looking for outliers/trends.

I'm 14 and this is deep!

/S

But for real I love this. Reminds me of the beauty of transitional ecosystems.
