entoptic blue field phenomenon

Thank you. You've solved a mystery that bugged me since forever lol. Yay, I am not crazy. I legit thought there was something wrong with my eyesight all these years, or that they were just weird floaters. Thank you so much, friend. Relate hard to the sound stuff as well, it's nice to know it happens to other people al well.

According to this article, even the value of epsilon is wrong. Epsilon stands for 'price elasticity', which seems to measure how much tariffs would affect the price of an item. 0.25 is the value used by the White House, but some economists have come out saying it is actually closer to 0.945, indicating that prices are affected far greater by tariffs than what these buffoons claim. But even with the correct value, the formula makes no sense.

Without the fancy shit, it's basically (exports/imports) - 1.

So epsilon and phi are just constants that cancel each other out? Wow. This is legit the dumbest shit I've ever heard, narrowly beating Narendra Modi's (a+b)^2 debacle (he said that the 2ab was 'extra'). Fucking illiterate, aren't they?

Yeah because working outside and still doing all the domestic work is so much better than being confined to the house. Who needs feminism?

No doubt the Soviet Union was a huge step forward for women but this is just a dumb thing to say. Women doing unpaid household labour and emotional labour has always been the case.

Turns out the one I was thinking of was the critical stop sound and the error sound was less threatening. Learnt something new...

Damn! This is some real hackerman shit.

This is a good collection of book piracy sites and other stuff as well.

Messing around with your old WinXP/95 computer and then fixing that mess before your parents come home and scold you does wonders to one's troubleshooting skills. People of this generation never got to hear that scary XP error sound, and it shows.

I don't disagree lol

To be fair, a bunch of old scientific closed sourced applications run only on WinXP or 7. Maybe it's aimed at those people. But I don't know any that require 10 or 11 that don't have alternatives...

Fascism believes its own lies, I guess. Even kings had court jesters to criticise them. Trump is surrounded by dumb yes-men. I do feel sorry for the poor people caught in the mess the world is in right now.

This comment took me down an interesting rabbit hole... He's a couch fucker? And conservatives say neopronouns are weird, smh.
