watched a broadcast of a police "chase" today where the dude drove the speed limit and obeyed all traffic directives except for yielding to cops. they tried to pit maneuver him twice and he just took himself over the median and turned around to follow traffic the other way. the cops ended up spike stripping one of their own SUVs while trying to stop him. when he finally stopped he just sat in his truck, unarmed, with a big tank of nitrous doing whippets for several hours while the cops desperately wracked their pig brains for a tactic that could stop a dude from chilling in his truck.

this was a situation that could have been resolved with a taxi and a tow truck and like, a court summons after running the plates. cops aren't here to solve situations, they're here to justify their obscene budgets and military equipment by making every situation an excuse to wage chemical warfare on anyone who doesn't allow them to define the situation.

they shot pepper bullets into his cab. he sat in his truck. a gaggle of them crept up to the passenger side and tossed in a tear gas canister. he tossed it back out the driver side and kept sitting in his truck. the cop negotiator brought water for the guy but then rather than actually give it to him to demonstrate even an ounce of good faith he threw it on the ground like 10 feet away from the truck as the most obvious bait. they brought in SWAT! fucking SWAT and their shitty SWAT monster truck, for an unarmed dude sitting in his truck. it was only misdemeanors until the cops showed up and made everything about them which made the dude's every attempt to leave into a felony because it's happening around a cop.

and all the while the news anchor is like OH YOU DON'T WANT THESE PEACE OFFICERS EXPOSED TO FURTHER RISKS, YOU DON'T WANT THEM CAUGHT IN CROSSFIRE (from who?? other pigs?? they're the only ones with guns!). HEY COP CORRESPONDENT, WHAT IF YOU USED A FLASHBANG ON THE GUY. god, when even the cop correspondent is like "uhh we're not doing that" you know you've said something sick. i cannot emphasize enough how much of it was just the dude sitting in his truck. the pigs solved this real brainscratcher of a conundrum with more tear gas because that's the only verb they know.

abolish the police!

Made a new watch inspired by Metro Exodus. Titanium case and Soviet Nixie tubes from the 70s.

i thought it said 2023 and fully accepted that they made a watch that showed the current year and nothing else

Eating while on shift is not permitted, staff are told. “If the system detects no keyboard stroke and mouse click, it will show you as idle for that particular duration, and it will be reported to your supervisor. So please avoid hampering your productivity.”

A training video about the webcam system, seen by the Guardian, says it “monitors and tracks real-time employee behaviour and detects any violations to pre-set business rules, and sends real-time alerts to managers to take corrective actions immediately”.

Capitalism is so exhausting

Hi! Want to completely fuck the keyboard-tracking system in the ass? Want to do it in a way that they literally cannot do anything about without disabling primary Windows functions?

Step 1: Open Notepad.

Step 2: Copy the following text, line for line, omitting only the --- that caps either end of it. --- Dim objResult Set objShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") Do While True objResult = objShell.sendkeys("{NUMLOCK}{NUMLOCK}") Wscript.Sleep (6000) Loop --- Step 3: Save this as whatever.vbs, put it somewhere you can access easily, and double click it when you start your computer.

What does this do?

This runs a very basic script, and every six seconds, your computer will double-tap the NumLock key (i.e., turn it on, and then off) in a single instant. This counts as a key-press, occurs with a key that shouldn’t affect most things that you’re doing, occurs with no gap between them even if it could affect things you’re doing, and should prevent this kind of BS from engaging. As an aside, this will also prevent your computer from automatically locking itself, so take that into account if you need to manually lock your computer when going to lunch or whatever.

Damn, Tumblr back at it. Now we got coders coming in to save the day.

Tumblr’s collective hate for capitalism is astounding every time but damn if I don’t love it

I keep thinking about that one post that was going around talking about the potential origins of cheese and everyone immediately jumps to it must've been rotten milk that they ate out of desperation. But I'd like to posit that the first cheese was probably someone adding an acid to warmed milk and realising it splits it. Like it's not that big a stretch of the imagination for someone to think "oh I like warm milk but I also like this acidic fruit, I wonder if I can mix them". From there a little experimentation on separating the new curd from the whey and you've got a simple fresh cheese.

I dunno I think the reason I wanted to make this post is just that we tend to desscribe a lot of discoveries around food as desperate acts of starvation and not genuinely thought out experimentations based on observations like every other form of human knowledge. Ancient people weren't stupid starving unwashed masses and it's important to remember that. They were people who could think and deduce and logic their way through things as good as you or I.

there's this narrative I've encountered several times about our early ancestors figuring out that cooking food makes it good, and it goes "some meat probably fell in the fire and then when it cooled down they tried eating it and that's how they found out food could be cooked."

which, I do not accept. I have seen humans. I would like to propose an alternative explanation.

Cooking is the result of an early scientific experiment entitled "Does Meat Burn?"

(It was part of a wider research project considering such questions as Does Antler Burn? Does Hide Burn? Does Hoof Burn? and the oft-repeated Does My Hand Burn Ow Fuck Yes Actually It Does)

Feel like "Does Meat Burn" may have been a direct follow-up project to "Does My Hand Burn Ow Fuck".

Still a good precaution. And definitely necessary for everyone for when life has returned to normal in like three years just in case you meet the love of your life and they’re positive.

Rebloging this to add a little more info because it’s very important:

Antiretroviral therapy when used correctly can cause the user’s “viral load” (your viral load is how much of the virus is in your bloodstream), to drop because the medicine prevents HIV from creating copies of itself.

Regular blood tests are done to monitor your viral load, and after taking the medication long enough, it can drop so low that it becomes “durably undetectable”. This means that the HIV virus in you has become so miniscule that it can’t be detected, and by extension can’t be transmitted either. It’s important to note that in order to be considered durable undetectable, you MUST test as undetectable for at least 6 months after testing as undetectable for the first time.

Also very important, being durably undetectable does NOT mean that you’re cured or that the virus is gone, not by a longshot. The HIV virus is still very much there, but instead of being active, it’s gone dormant in a small number of cells called “viral reservoirs”. This why it’s EXTREMELY important that even after achieving durably undetectable status, you continue to take your Antiretroviral medications correctly. Because if you stop, the HIV virus will reemerge from the viral reservoirs and pick up right where it left off in creating copies of itself, and you will have to start all over again if you want to become durably undetectable again.

This is great advice for people struggling with or know someone who has HIV.

POTA OPEN ROLE-PLAY New Forest New Life

‘I can’t keep doing this, I wasn’t made for long distance walking….’ a small heap of deep red fur seated next to a well worn kids’ wagon softly hooted in distress, curled around a sleeping bundle in her arms. The female orangutan would have long since given up had it not been for the small scruffy baby in her arms, and the desire to see it grow and survive. Lifting her head, she realized that the forest wasn’t too far away, if anything it had to be at the very most six miles away a simple hop-skip-and-jump. That is if you were literally any other ape.

Six miles of mostly flat terrain and nothing to climb is absolute agony for any of her kind, so used to spending time up in the cool shade of the trees, high away from any predator that could strike, and taking extra care to create perfectly padded nests to rest in as the sounds of the forest would lull them to sleep. The sudden tugging and hungry cries from her chest, pulled her out of her reverie and to the baby who was demanding to be fed. It was strange really, most baby orangutans are usually quiet, extremely playful as all younglings are, but rarely making any sounds unless distressed or angry.

“Shhh, shhh, little one we’ll be to the trees soon enough and I’ll feed you then,” cooing to the baby, gently pulled on one of it’s thin wiry arms and softly nibbled on his hand , huffing and blowing puffs from her nose.

It managed to ease the baby somewhat, staring at her with Pale Blue eyes, the same strange eyes that captured the hearts and wonder of everyone in her previous tribe, but caused a ruckus when other apes came into their territory and looked on with various mixed emotion that were barely pleasant. Brushing the baby’s erratic and fur, she nudged the baby to crawl back into the small nest made in the wagon next to the backpack that stored the dried fruits, vegetables, and water she had packed for their long trip. She was glad to have avoided traveling through the drier parts, where she and her companion would have certainly died, but that didn’t mean she enjoyed traveling on flat ground for days straight. Right now, getting to that forest with the baby intact was all that mattered to her, and she’ll be damned before letting fatigue take her now.
