way more common than you think

same, it is quite endearing coming from anything else

Baader Meinhof effect but I spent the last two days trying to clone my uni's Mifare Classic 1K's because they refuse to reactivate my ID because it is faded.


I did not expect your username to be dang, I thought he meant it as a figure of speech like "dang"

Legend.


this might help me though- I am in the same boat


To pile on here, every Pi I have used (like a dozen at this point) worked fine for years, Pi 5 bricked itself randomly within 4 months of purchase with the complete accessory sets installed (coolers/case etc.) Left a bad taste to blow my savings as a student on the newest and greatest Pi to tinker around with, and it bricks, when the second hand heavily used 4s and 3Bs work fine with constant years of use.


Did we watch the same movie? It was more about their cultural impact than painting them as gods


Imagine you have a friend who plays a nice song for you, and is dumfounded -nay- awestruck to the point of murder - that you aren't moved to tears by the performance because he believes the song was written by the angels themselves.

That movie overglorified the Beatles beyond credibility, and it was genuinely painful to watch.


I think the dumbfoundedness didn't arise from the inherent quality of the music, but his shock at the fact that five people in England didn't know who the Beatles were.

That said, I do think this movie missed out on a lot of potential, by not exploring what the actual significance of the Beatles to the world would have been: it never really asks what the world would be like had the Beatles never existed, which I think is a really interesting question, and instead develop a typical Hollywood plot.


I did find the lack of cigarettes amusing, so I'm guessing the parallel world really had nothing to do with the Beatles at all, they were just a byproduct


The premise of these realities being almost identical means that they had no cultural impact.


I thought this was about Elon Musk for a second


I think lots of us did hehe. But I'm glad it wasn't for a change.


> They often demonstrate ideals that go counter to their own interests This for real. The cognitive dissonance is giving me more cognitive dissonance. I highly doubt that even though this may be a VC owned and operated site, somehow everyone on the site is a vc or something similar?


This site is, from what I can tell, full of two things:

A great way to sometimes chat up authors of various tooling.

A micro-lottery site where people try to win vc backed tickets into being capitalists.


Oh and one virtue singaling guy named flandish who needs to pass Econ 101 before commenting again.


Clearly huh? Econ 101 so I get just enough info to screw myself over?

Why do you keep trolling my replies? How does that capitalist boot taste?


Dude you are not convincing anyone with your childish comments. People like you don't last long here, so adios. (reported)


Have you tried not harping on people who have been fucked by the very system you simp for?

Every one of your replies is “omg you don’t like capitalism? go read econ 101”

Like you think capitalism is some sort of manifest destiny.

Who hurt you?


Nobody is harping, you are the one attacking others and virtue signaling.

"Simp". Dude, this isn't Twitter. Grow up or leave.

oh yes this basically. Very annoying, especially people finding the flaws with collective bargaining. The individualistic rhetoric is mind-numbing.
