LISTEN TO THE MAN.

mark ruffalo always speaking the truth.

I don’t trust people who don’t like 80s pop music like what are you? straight? grow up

Peppers are the spicy of the fire, mint is the spicy of the ice, carbonation is the spicy of the air, and vinegar is the spicy of the water.

i just saw my cousin on tinder can i die shes gonna know i’m gay

WAIT THAT MEANS

clearance that isn’t under like $15 is an abomination and doesn’t have the right to even call itself clearance

IT’S WHAT WE DESERVED

Id like to show you all something.

Yes indeed no nudity but you can find all the discriminatory and hate speech you want!

But wait, the icing on the cake…

…really? Do i need even say anything.

since this place is going down the shitter, why not reblog this?

Here’s an extra layer of gross 

 I may be wearing a tin foil hat, but I think they purposely want to do stuff like pit BLM against White Supremacists. They see it as an opportunity to make money. 

Here’s a link to the Vox article quoted above in question.

‘Hate and Strife Are Key Target Demographics’, basically.

this whole thing, read it

Unbelievable.

folks it is with great pleasure i announce that 19 years after Y2K we are 19 years away from more potential bullshit

can somebody tell me why y2k and… y..2k38?… are problems and how they even happen? i still don’t totally understand it.

The basic problem behind both is a lack of forethought.

Back in the pre-2000s, especially in the 70s and early 80s, computers had very little RAM. Therefore, rather than store all four digits of the year - say “1999”, many computers and programs only kept the last two digits - “99”. Computers also had very little storage, so the date was often stored that way as well.

The obvious problem with this is once a new century begins, you roll back to “00”, which a program could potentially interpret as suddenly being 100 years in the past. There was a lot of hysteria surrounding Y2K (people thought things like banking software would spontaneously combust and society would collapse) but most important programs and databases were updated in time for Y2K to not affect them, and otherwise mostly only minor bugs really occurred.

Fast forward to today: most computers store time using a method called “UNIX time”. Basically, time is stored as the number of seconds that have elapsed since January 1st, 1970. The problem is UNIX time is stored in a signed 32 bit integer. A signed 32 bit integer can store any number between -2,147,483,648 and 2,147,483,647. It just happens that 2,147,483,647 seconds from January 1st, 1970 lands somewhere around 2038. When a variable overflows the maximum possible number, it rolls back to the minimum possible number. This may cause computers and software to believe the date is somewhere around 1901.

The good news is that UNIX time can be stored in any arbitrary number of bits. We can simply move to 64 bits and be good until the heat death of the universe.

The bad news is fixing legacy systems (from the viewpoint of 2038, so fixing everything that currently exists and is going to exist in the next couple decades) is going to be a lot more complex than fixing the Y2K bug.

Since essentially all platforms store UNIX time in 32 bits (yes, even our modern 64 bit systems), nearly all code that uses the UNIX time (or gets the date at all, since the library that retrieves the date is almost certain to use UNIX time) assumes the time is stored in a signed 32 bit integer. Making any sort of change to that means breaking compatibility with a lot of code. As in, all the code that exists today, and all the code that will continue to be made until we fix the problem. There’s going to be more than half a century of code to fix by the time 2038 rolls around.

Past that, the internet is a much bigger worry now than it was in 1999. Much of the internet relies on certificates for security that are only valid in a certain date range, of which 1901 is certainly included in none. Try setting your computer’s clock a few years in the past then try accessing any website that uses https. If the 2038 problem isn’t fixed in time, essentially all services that rely on the internet will no longer be accessible. That’s a pretty massive problem that really could cause the collapse of society if it isn’t fixed.

There’s a multitude of other areas where solving the 2038 problem is non-trivial as well. In addition to that, nobody really seems to be worried about this problem yet. Expect to see mass panic a few years before 2038 comes as everyone suddenly realizes “oh shit we need to fix this now”.

This is so sad

Can we reach 70 likes

I reorganized all the fighters from that one portion of the direct and added K. Rool. I prefered it when the selection screen was organized by series, rather than the order they were added to Smash. I’m hoping there’s some sort of select screen organization options.

GO ON LITTLE BUDDY, GO MAKE YOUR DREAMS A REALITY!!!

PLEAAAAAASEEEEEE!!!

Advice for people in their 20s from someone who’s just entered their 30s....

1. Don’t waste time being fearful: go for that job that you’re certain you’re not gonna get. What’s the worse that can happen? You are rejected, but you gain interview experience. Self-doubt is really a waste of time.

2. Live in the present. Yes, it is important to plan for the future, but it is easy to put off living until it is too late. Make sure that you have no regrets about what you should have done. Do one exciting thing per year.

3. Know your worth. This applies to both work and relationships; never sell yourself short. No job or romance is more important than your self respect. Also, charge for any unique skills/services that you can offer. 

4. Don’t be afraid to leave bad situations. I left a stable but draining teaching job in order to protect my mental health. Even though this was a big risk, it was the best decision I ever made. NOTHING is more important than your mental health. 

5. Most 20 somethings feel that they are underachieving. This is normal - especially in today’s financial climate. Don’t feel bad if you are still living at home and cannot afford to rent/buy. I’m 30 and still living at home, saving to buy.

6. People will disappoint you, but most of the time, it’s not about you. Everybody has their own demons and traumas that make them behave in certain ways. If somebody disrespects you, assert your boundaries and keep it moving. Also, examine if there was anything you could have done to avoid the situation. But DO NOT let it eat away at you.

7. In love, nobody owes you anything. Even if they made a promise, they are their own person…Everybody has the right to change their mind and to leave a situation which is not beneficial for them. This is hurtful and hard to accept, but it is the truth.

8. Learn to enjoy your own company. Your 20s can be a lonely time as your social sphere narrows, due to employment, finances and exhaustion. Use this time to find out more about yourself and do the things that you enjoy. There is something liberating about eating at a restaurant alone. 

9. Be kind, don’t gossip or overshare. I am still working on this one. It is really difficult to be kind and positive in a world full of annoying people. However, your attitude will influence how you are being perceived. If you are unkind, people will laugh at your jokes but they will never trust you. They will never trust you not to treat them as you treat other people. Remove yourself from toxic people, and only share negativity (sadness/anger/depression) with a therapist and one other person that you trust. If you overshare negative feelings, you may be stereotyped as being full of drama. Furthermore, people will want you to stay in a negative place because it’s entertaining and makes them feel better about their own lives. Just don’t do it.

10. You cannot win every battle. Within conflict, it is tempting to try to force others to agree with your perspective. However, most people are set in their ways, and find it difficult to change their views and behaviours. This is especially important when dealing with toxic family members. You may never get the apology and empathy that you seek, so it is important to accept that every battle cannot be won, and gain validation internally, rather than externally.
