Shift your center of mass forward but I think it's also a learned skill. I can squat just fine with a barbell on my back but not naturally lol

it's not, it's on arxiv because they will publish anything. It has upsides and downsides. They only seem to publish on arxiv, I wonder why these papers don't show up anywhere else lol. Also one of them got a 10,000$ (or 40,000, idr) grant from their universities some time back to do this kind of "research"

I installed nuclear to get off Spotify. It seems to work fine so far on my computer, it plays the songs off YouTube without connecting you directly, so it does require that the songs are on YouTube, but I think it finds any upload it can not necessarily an official one

I was saying the same thing about dishonored (2012/3) the other day. Graphics look dated - low-res mainly - but the art direction makes them still very okay. I remember back in the early-mid 2000s graphics were absolutely progressing every year, with every new game being able to offer a higher fidelity experience as well as bigger worlds, more npcs on screen etc. by which I mean very quantifiable technical achievements. When they started introducing ragdolls to npc bodies the whole world screamed at the sight of what had become possible on consumer hardware.

I can barely tell the difference between a 2019 and 2025 game, aside from there's more animations and they look smoother. They're doing ray tracing and HDR now but if your graphics card can't even do it (which is most of them currently in use I'd wager) you're never going to interact with that. I think they're also doing stuff with sound, but I can't really think of a breakthrough technical achievement that becomes commonplace. I guess if I had to think of one, it's how many NPCs the new hitman games are able to simulate at once... but the reboots started in 2016, 9 years ago.

The only scent I know is "manly" soviet-huff

I consistently water down my monsters with sparkling water. It adds some fizz which I find lacking in the original, dilutes the overbearing flavor and makes the glass last longer. I usually sip on it through the morning.

Actual athletes would never touch a monster lol (I think they tone down the fizz so that it looks more like a sports drink), but I don't drink coffee but still enjoy caffeine in the morning to wake up. So it's usually either a monster or mate.

Huh. I might get one then to try it out. I thought it was just the original but sugar-free. What about the original black and green can?

what do y'all recommend to listen to music? I like the apps, don't particularly like spotify.

Edit - if anyone had the same question, I installed nuclear off github, it connects to online services to stream music on your devices. Working well so far! Not quite the same as Spotify in terms of functionality but it's decent

does white monster have the usual red bull-like terrible energy drink taste? i see people talking about specifically that can a lot.

not to mention that 'shampoo' doesn't really help. Anti-dandruff shampoo is not the same as shampoo for oily hair. And in fact you can require both, so a combined dandruff shampoo for oily hair makes sense.

this applies to more than shampoo of course.

does hexbear have the anakin talking to padme meme as an emoji? That's what I feel right now :(

probably bullshit they conjured up. I've started blocking these "news" accounts on twitter that post fake stuff, I figure if I do it enough eventually I'll be left with the trustworthy ones.

 
 

Link takes you to blog space, announcement here: https://en.prolewiki.org/wiki/Essay:ProleWiki%27s_new_Essays_feed!

This was custom-built exactly like the library was (and you wouldn't believe how hacky I had to get lol).

It looks much more like a blog would, which is an improvement over the "just put your name in a table" method we used earlier. All automated too!

 

Since November* 2022, ProleWiki has been the victim of a very dedicated stalker and harasser.

ProleWiki has been maintaining this document since February of 2023, when Wisconcom was ramping up his attacks and harassment against us.

When he left us alone briefly in May-June 2023, we agreed we would not publish it so as not to ruin his reputation. It was always an equivalent exchange: if you stop bothering us, we'll leave you alone.

He didn't though, he came back in July, and so we make good on our promise. That is one thing Wisconcom -- and all harassers that would come our way -- must realise about us.

Be prepared for a long read, but it's worth it.

I am only the humble messenger of this document.

 

(can't post link currently as their site is down again lol)

Not only did they not differentiate gender between cis and trans, it also came out that they're like 80% white and they instantly got into a struggle session because the admin said that number was "unfortunate" can't make this shit up lmao

 

I was hoping to be able to interact with this community and learn and share, but my initial responses have suggested this is sadly an echo chamber, and any contrasting views are not tolerated. I would have appreciated explanations and suggestions but having experienced nothing but lazy downvotes and little discourse I suggest this community is doing communism a great disservice. Shame. I will be blocking this community and will begin to suggest others avoid it for the above reasons.

We get posted on r/tankiejerk (for the fourth time) -> we get posted on Twitter by some euro liberal -> we get posted by socialism done left himself.

Anyway we've never been visited this much.

Actually no, we've doubled our visits since we had that thread on Yeonmi Park go viral (on Twitter), and our most visited day was march 1st, which is still unbeaten. But the SDL shoutout has set a new 2nd place record.

 

Prolewiki, the marxist-leninist encyclopedia, removed an administrator who tried to sabotage the project (you can see the evidence in the linked tweet). Therefore he was removed.

It took the infras a few minutes to find the tweet and start brigading it.

What else can I add? Their "huge" community and their "magacommunism" that will totally save the USA has like 920 members in their Telegram. They are less relevant than your local Five Guys that sees more traffic in a half day.

But they deploy a "point and shoot strategy" where one of them will signal your tweet and the rest will swoop in and post the most asinine stuff they can think of (definitely quantity over quality is important), boost each other, and just drown you out.

Hope this is the right community to post in, it was hard to decide.
