Yeah, I had some webpages archived and tried to use javascript to clean them up, but I ended up parsing it as xml through Powershell instead. I've done something with Python and BeautifulSoup too, a long time ago. Both much easier than JS, but somehow JS is designed to work with web pages? Make it make sense.

Sorry mom, that paper towel was rock hard and flaking before the wash too.

Okay, from this (and your deleted post), I think I can give you some advice. She's not normal. Anyone who tells you she's a nice person is either not normal or doesn't know her. Don't accept anyone treating you like that.
You didn't mention any ages. It could still be that she's a fairly normal 14 year old, I guess? Girls at that age tend to go a bit insane. (Boys take a few more years.) If that's the case, I'd say that she honestly likes you and has no idea how to express it. You still shouldn't accept her treating you like that, but it could be a salvagable situation. If she's an adult though, tell any common friends what she's truly like and never speak to her again.

I don't know about the exact stats, but 49 million views in 5 months can't all be ironically, certainly?


am I sick from anxiety or am I physically ill?
In my experience, the anxiety destroys my immune system, which makes me catch a real physical illness, so they're never far apart.

The original is the wholesome version, OP posted the comedynecromancy edit.

We're going to need much more detail to accurately assess her behavior. At the risk of blaming the victim, but we can't even establish that you're the victim yet. There's some situations where a punch would be totally justified and you haven't confirmed or denied anything.
First things first, were you invited to her house (or had reason to think she'd welcome you)?

I find it really easy to tell the difference between a human being polite, neat and well-spoken, and an AI being the same (but soulless). I don't know if I could put it into words though, there's just something about AI that lacks subjectivity? A human would phrase something in a certain way and stick with it, because that's the way they experience it, while the AI takes a phrasing at random, only caring about gaining lexical and grammatical points.
I also think humans overestimate their ability to write clearly and correctly. There's always some noise in there, even if they're going full corpo-speak. Unless it's written-by-committee meaningless corpo, but then I don't even read it beyond the first sentence. It's very obvious when someone has tried to strip all meaning from a sentence and the result is not far from AI.

2018, it's been seven years of redirecting to old.reddit.com (well, 2 years of redirecting hundreds of pages a day and 5 years of redirecting a page or 2 per week when they show up in search results.)

How many years has it been? I still can't get over it that some people started using reddit after the redesign, and they like it.

10% still makes it sound like a lot, but a big chunk of those have to be outside the US (if they're even all active accounts).

Oh no, it gets worse. He waited six and a half minutes before deciding to respond to his own dead thread. Then it still took over half an hour for the first "real" reply, but who wants to bet it was OP with a VPN?

first reply is from OP himself
That's so tragic, can we get some Fs in the chat?
Edit: No, checking the reply numbers, this image excluded some earlier replies. But then I don't really get why you'd include OP's reply, it doesn't seem relevant to the bottom story. Sloppy editing tbqh smh fam

Yeah, you already mentioned the libertarians.

Lemmy.zip is down and probably took DailyGameBot down with it, so here is a fleshy human doing a machine's work.
Edit: Argh, this community is on lemmy.zip, so you'll probably only see this when the bot is back up (_')

Anime with alternate orders
I'm interested to hear about anime that give a different experience when putting the episodes in a different order. They can be official orders (broadcast vs dvd) or fan orders (moving arcs around, putting seasons in chronological vs release order). Maybe you can even think of examples where a companion movie is inserted in the middle of a season? Two separate projects by the same author or studio that can be weaved together to form a consistent whole?

Who put this guy in charge


Have to add that we work exclusively in strongly-typed languages. Kinda want to see how it plays out, but I can't help but argue with him, so I think I'll just go.
