"Mad at the Internet" - a/k/a My Psychotherapy Sessions

[Legalize Asbestos]

Because, oddly enough, the traditional yellow lights don't seem to mess with my night vision as much as white LEDs of the same brightness. Maybe it has to do with the blue receptors staying sensitive. Anyone know the reason for this?

Yellow sodium lights act primarily on your cones. The Rods don't really absorb yellow, so you keep your night vision by the ambient light. White lights just blast everything and exhaust your entire retina.

Blue LEDs are somehow even more retarded because it hits the intersection between blue cones (your lowest light perception) and your rods, so you end up feeling like you can still see when you are in fact temporarily blinded to the most important part of the spectrum at night.

I like being blinded by the power of the Sun itself when I'm driving at night, it makes me feel alive.

No, new cars are really very bad with them too. The NHTSA regulations have not been adjusted for the reality of the manufacturer arms race for the most brightest headlights. Those regulations were last updated in 1986.

I never feel good about asking for more regulation, but I do think that this is one specific area we need it. That dark spot trick is also really stupid, here I thought it was a design quirk for the steering headlights. At least they help with headlight alignment.

Those matrix lights look cool and practical, but it looks like a nightmare to implement correctly, and would result in higher stakes of failure that would probably be pretty common.
Automatic high beams already screw up by turning off way too late or turning on inappropriately. That system is much simpler to implement and still has problems.

 

[Not A Cat Person]

The manufacturers have engineered them now with a dark spot because they know specifically where the light test sensor is and they can push ∞ light outside that.

This ought to be illegal and subject to fines and recalls in the same way that Volkswagen tricking the diesel emissions sensors was.

Is this just a normal day for ifunny? Did they win their battle against the jannies?

I grabbed that from a general article on AI slop; alas, I have no idea.

Whatever test they are doing is pretty bad too, if the sensors are so predictably placed that you can do that nonsense.

 

[neger psykolog]

RationalWiki is being targeted by 6 different simultaneous legal actions (mostly libel lawsuits apparently): https://kiwifarms.st/threads/rationalwiki.14720/page-145#post-21019508
RW is saying they are a "coordinated SLAPP action"
People are saying there are some parallels between this situation and how KF gets sued regularly.

 

[FamicomGorby]

Yeah the technician running the test would surely just see there's a dead zone exactly at the sensor while the rest of it's lit up like the sun?

I'd bet the way the regulation is written in some draconian way that requires the sensor be in that specific spot doing the test and nothing else matters. So even though it's obvious that the dead zone is there to evade the test, there's nothing they can do about it.

Then they get gay married in the final episode.

No homo, though, it was for tax reasons. Well, maybe a little homo.

 

[Polentic]

He has a functioning penis already that he was born with morons! Why are you so emotionally attached to this weird fucked up fantasy of him having a broken penis? Do you want him to fuck you in the ass until he cums so you can be absolutely sure it works correctly, as opposed to him just dangling it in your face which wouldn't unequivocally prove that it functions properly?? Is that what it would take for you to stop fixating on another man's penis?

From the Elon Musk thread. Please enjoy.

turkey tom toned down his edigness after the d'angelo wallace shit, and i respect it. no one wants transgenders breathing behind their back trying to jeopradize their main source of income especially in a space where one wrong move can lead to getting dogpilled online, it just makes sense to play it smart

Turkish Tim is a literal homosexual who only became popular after his entire channel became reading the Kiwi Farms into a microphone while making funny faces. If he wasn't a POS he'd kick back 10% for making his scam possible.

 

[The Noise]

Finally got a chance to catch up on the April 4th stream. That pickup artist shit with Karl Jobst is the only time I have skipped through a MATI segment for being too cringeworthy to bear. Null is a hero for managing to sit through that at all. Good Lord.

 

[prollyanotherlurker]

Why does Josh consistently go after people who might be able to help him. Every time someone has a fuck up, regardless of how big or small of a story it is, you talk about it, which is your right and I am not even saying you shouldn't, but you always go so hard and don't keep you tongue under check

That's too bad. I feel like a sucker for reading that post now.

You had to learn the lesson the hard way. Niggers like these never say anything worth reading. You could tell from the first run on sentence.

Can you name an industry where citing a source means you have to pay them? Nothing here is copyright KF.

 

[prollyanotherlurker]

I think Null should consider leaning into this concept with the exclusion of stickers on the eventual forum rewrite. Maybe an incremental rating system but dressed up into 'disagree' and 'agree' in varying degrees so retards don't get (as) mad at it. And make it so you can't reply to a post you've given consensus to without removing your consensus, and can't put your consensus on a post you have already replied to. Relegate it fully to its role as a non intrusive way to give simple feedback to a post that doesn't warrant a full reply. All of the user's ratings combined are averaged to an overall bar below the post, replacing stickers' location. And clicking on it shows the individual consensuses given by the different users, like how the stickers work now. And for the love of God get rid of anything even remotely resembling internet points like reaction score.

How will I know I actually said something that touched a nerve, if I don't have them rate my post mad at the internet with 3 sock puppets?

just saw the newest mati and this is all i could think of when he was going through the karl jobst segmentView attachment 7183100

I actually had something I want to make come to mind while listening friday too. I need to install an image editor on this computer or use my other one. So I can make it. Has probably already been done before. But I like the idea, and made myself remember, So I'll actually get around to making it.

I actually agree. But he absolutely went about it, in the gayest, tranny dick sucking way he could have. I feel like that's part of what rubbed people the wrong way about it.

He's not even Turkish, he's a Bulgarian Boris actually.

Spoiler: thanks bing

I tried to look up some bulgarian names with b to make a better joke and this is what Bing gave me



Bulgarian Badrian.

Should be interesting for Friday.
A f1 driver took a 20k fine (originally it was 60k but reduced) for taking a shit during the Japanese anthem for "disrespect" despite having a doctor's note proving he was indeed taking a shit:

https://www.motorsport.com/f1/news/carlos-sainz-fined-for-national-anthem-delay-despite-confirmed-illness-ahead-of-japanese-gp/10710486/

Carlos Sainz has been fined €20,000, with €10,000 of that suspended, by the FIA stewards for being late for the national anthem ahead of Formula 1's Japanese Grand Prix

The Williams driver was late to the Japanese national anthem on the grid due to a stomach upset and was visiting a doctor at the track ahead of the race.

According to the FIA, Sainz was "not in place for the national anthem at the specified time of 1344hrs" before the Suzuka race, breaching Article 19.4 b) of the regulations.

The driver has been given a €20,000 fine, with €10,000 suspended for a 12-month period.

Sainz received the fine despite being examined by Dr. Messina of Med-Ex, who verified his stomach issues prior to the race, adding that they administered medication.

The mitigating circumstances meant that the usual penalty of €60,000 was reduced.

This is the FIA boss who fined him, he runs all sanctioned international racing events.
He's a ocd control freak retard who probably deserves his own thread, his last shenanigan involved fining and banning F1 drivers for saying fuck:

In the instance of "misconduct," the appendix states that a first offence within a two-year period for F1 drivers should incur a €40,000 ($41,600) fine, a second offence comes with a €80,000 fine and a suspended one-month ban, and a third offence has a recommended €120,000 fine and one-month suspension plus deduction of championship points.

The exact same levels of punishments are also recommended for "any words, deeds or writings that have caused moral injury or loss to the FIA, its bodies, its members or its executive officers, and more generally on the interest of motor sport and on the values defended by the FIA."

The new guidelines follow a clampdown on swearing by the governing body, which resulted in world champion Max Verstappen completing "work of public interest" after using a profanity in a news conference at the Singapore Grand Prix.

Verstappen served the punishment at the end of last year by taking part in a grassroots motorsport project in Rwanda ahead of the FIA's end-of-season prize giving ceremony in Kigali.

Ferrari driver Charles Leclerc was also fined €10,000 for swearing during a news conference last year in Mexico, half of which was suspended for a year.

Because Leclerc immediately apologized for the language, the stewards issuing the fine said a "mitigation factor" had led to a lesser penalty than Verstappen's earlier in the same season.

OH NO, MY OSHI- A Pro se litigant submitted an oral argument to a New York State Apellate court as a video of an AI Avatar making their argument. The judge was not pleased. The Case is Dewald v MassMutual Metro

Good on the judge.

This is begging for an edit with some dumb, awful, obnoxious VTuber crap spliced in instead of the AI avatar.
