taxonomy

shit

Is that the right word

I’ve been using “ontology” when talking about item classification to sound smart

I guess it worked bc no one said “You mean taxonomy, right?” yet. My illusion of pretending I’m not a dumbass to people IRL isn’t broken yet I hope.

I’m in South Africa: purchasing cannabis products on the clearnet. The law is, you’re allowed to have cannabis on your own property, up to like 1.2kg or something few people can reasonably accumulate. You can grow 4 plants.

You can provide cannabis as a gift without “remuneration”. i.e. you can’t buy or sell it

Meaning, you join a “social club” where your spontaneous membership fees coincidentally directly correlate to the THC metabolite concentration in your urine. This is the legal grey area.

But the cops here are still stupid fucking cops. Got a bag of 4g Jack Herer in a Ziploc bag with beautiful artwork on it on the way home from the dispensary?

SIR YOU ARE UNDER ARREST FOR THE DEALING OF DRUGS. You either pay a stupid bribe or they throw you in jail for a night or a weekend until a lawyer can come bail you out and the case never goes to trial.

They did not do enough police reform after the official end of apartheid.

The majority of us not being able to suck our own dicks ruined humanity.

I will die on this hill.

In South Africa, where I live, that kind of thing is a criminal offense known as crimen injuria.

From Wikipedia:

Crimen injuria is a crime under South African common law, defined as the act of “unlawfully, intentionally, and seriously impairing the dignity of another.” Although difficult to precisely define, the crime is used in the prosecution of certain instances of road rage, stalking, racially offensive language, emotional or psychological abuse, and sexual offences against children.

There are also a good number of other laws that deal with child abuse, so offenders won’t just get slapped with a crimen injuria charge on their criminal record and say it was just road rage when questioned.

The only one that comes to mind is Hamilton Morris. I don’t know if Morris is a first name, but I really like the dude. He did a bunch of documentaries about drugs for VICE. Big tangent incoming.

Those documentaries are really good. He did one about Project Coast, an awful program started by the apartheid government in South Africa (before Mandela became president). It’s the reason why the country still has such a high usage of methaqualone (AKA qualuudes, called Mandrax or “Buttons” colloquially) compared to the rest of the world.

Project Coast did so many much fucking lingering damage. Poisoned baby milk, nerve agents, you name it.

It was engineered by this piece of shit who earned the nickname “Dr. Death”, Wouter Basson. Cunt got away with it. He’s somehow still a practicing cardiologist in Cape Town. Infuriating.

Main point: those documentaries are worth a watch. Not an ad. Pirate it if you want.

Also, if anyone happens to be near Dr Death’s practice, just fucking exorcise that demon.

Very cool

Sometimes the companies they subcontract, named something boring and innocuous like Isolace Data Systems or Wimblo Digital or some shit, fucks up spectacularly.

Like they’ll just have 400gb Excel spreadsheet called all_meta_usernames_and_passwords.xlsx stored in the company’s shared intranet and then some dude guesses the WiFi password was WimbloDigital2024 and leaks it to whoever.

There’s some fanfiction out there that can make you regret learning language at all.

can we pronounce it like “asshole”

1-4 years and that much money is still unclaimed

I’m not very familiar with how these bounty contracts work, but I am going to assume it’s not happening if they haven’t decided by now :(

During the single mandatory postgraduate session on ethics, a few of us decided to play a bot trivia game over Telegram.

We all already knew it’s bad to use our education to kill people or do fraud or plagiarise shit. Like, man, I never did that. I’m not gonna fucking do that.

Anyways, someone sent the answer, “Led Zeppelin”, 1ms before me.

I slammed my fist on the desk. The entire lecture hall looked at me. That was my only moment of gamer rage where I hit something. Normally I just aggressively grunt or clench my teeth.

edit: I dropped out anyways, so it didn’t matter if you don’t think about it too much

get a cheap decoy phone and exclusively use it for watching mukbang videos and messaging “your ex” (you) to take you back

I’m not scared of nuclear power

but hearing it in the same sentence as ‘Microsoft AI’ sent a shiver down my spine

pre-nut brainfog must have felt like a psychedelic realm where the only reasonable way to escape was to find and rawdog a shady sex worker

I’ve been using this extension for over a year now. The only malicious use I’ve seen has been petty.

Occasionally see a video from a controversial creator titled something like “Asshole talks about stupid bullshit for 25 minutes” on fresh uploads.

The titles do change quite a bit. A lot of my title suggestions were changed/improved by others.

There’s a voting system, so you’d need a big group of bad actors fighting uphill for something that isn’t really all that worth it.

My dick fits into all of them

Seems pretty universal to me 😎

this is multidimensional wisdom

If it brings you any solace, Mr Raised-by-4chan is getting absolutely thundercunted with downvotes.

Haven’t seen that many in a long while.

Ah, that makes sense. I thought you meant IT as in information technology. Was very confused.

Brain still good yey

edit: typo. perhaps I need to make that appointment
