I get the illusion with the blue radiograph halfway down, but I’ve never been able to easily switch the dancer.

The one that always gets me is the light/dark image that has the same grey in two places, and on one side it looks like darkness and on the other like light.
Basically, these: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=grey+illusion+light+dark&ia=images&iax=images
3·10 days agoIt was a fucking struggle to leave, let me tell you.
I suddenly suffered from a crippling disease (made worse because I was 10 and generally healthy before that, so it was mind boggling at the time), and no one in the church gave a hoot. You’d think a community of people who believed in a loving god would care that such a god would randomly punish a kid… so when everyone just told me to accept it I understandably grew pissed. That then blossomed into asking questions about others with diseases, famine, war, death, bla bla bla, and every answer was just stupid.
Buuut, I was in a super religious family, and went to a religious school, and was a part of a very community focused church, so it took until I left at the age of majority to really leave religion behind. I argued with every single dumb christian I could find for my teenage years, because I wanted to find someone who actually had a good argument. Humorously enough, the best argument ever made to me was by someone who didn’t even care about christianity except that he ‘was’ one by dint of other people being christians: maybe it was necessary for god to send people to hell and have a shitty life… except obviously that’s a shitty god that I wouldn’t care to worship, so finally in college I said good-fucking-bye to the entire mindset.
As for what happened, while I was still under the parents’ control and the school’s control, I was labeled as a troublemaker and generally ostracized. My mother would wail (reasonably) about the situation, but stopped making me go to church as I entered high school. The extended family that still cared about religion just chalked it up to attention seeking and ignored it, which was fine by both parties.
Turns out that’s pretty much all of them.
The evangelical / nondenominational churches are honestly the ones I like best in that regard, with owning land/businesses. They are almost never some weird real estate owning corporation behind the scenes, just a collection of locals who pooled money and built a church. I don’t agree with their religion or beliefs, but that’s different.
Hopefully something terribly comedic, like: could god make his vagina so small that he couldn’t make a penis small enough to enter it?
7·10 days agoat what point are we no longer responsible for the sins of our fathers?
When everyone is living well.

(loling because of who you’re replying to, btw)
Mortar fire might work better.
2·10 days agoRight? The most difficult part of writing is convincing people that the ‘X’ character you are writing is ‘X.’ The second most difficult part of writing is writing an ‘X’ character that is actually ‘X,’ which is made much more difficult if the author isn’t ‘X’ or has had a lot of time interacting with people who are ‘X.’
In the case of death note, X = intelligent.

So nothing at all to do with what we’re talking about in this thread with linux setups?
What is racist about the term?
I don’t even know what I use anymore. My distro seems to keep changing it when I reinstall.
…Yes, they suck, but don’t you dare take my long shifts away from me. The delicious nature of the suckage of a long shift is that you then have a long break.
HA! Maybe firefighters, but EMS gets to sit around the firehouse once in a bloody blue moon. The 24 hour shifts suck, because the chances of you actually getting to sleep during the night hours are incredibly low.
Sure, there are going to be differences based on where you are working, but generally EMS is nearly call-to-call.
Lovely how xkcd seems to have the answers to life and its mysteries.
Not that video, but I remember another one from a little more than a decade ago where the guy was talking the entire time, explaining the process (and joking at one point about how only the new guys constantly used both safety hooks because it doubled or tripled the time of the work). Then you realize that there was another fella climbing with him when they get up on the little platform.
