I have very positive experience with that thing actually. It fixed many a wifi issue for me (interestingly, while also saying it couldn’t find the issue. It just fixed it. Probably ran something as part of its diagnostics that happened to also fix the problem)
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Yea pretty much. I have no idea if going inside just to throw stuff away is considered ok (always felt a bit weird) but for the most part it’s not too bad to find a place to throw stuff away.
- Comment on I wonder why people litter in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
They don’t even have that, they just have seperate bins for cans and bottles and people use them, and the only public places to throw away trash are in convenience stores. Which tbf exist like every 400m.
There are exceptions but generally people just keep the city clean because they want to (and social pressure).
Bottle/can deposit system can do a lot to make bins less full though. Japan just doesn’t seem to need it.
- Comment on Anon walks home in the city at 2 AM 5 weeks ago:
Being scared isn’t really something you can control. So I think what matters is whether that affects how she treats men.
As someone who also is quite scared of strangers when no one is around, I mostly just avoid that situation to begin with. If that’s not possible or it’s just too severe, it’s definitely something where looking into professional help could help her, if it’s available. Though not listening to true crime podcasts would probably be a good start…
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 month ago:
Eh, I’ve only watched the first one but I think on its own, ignoring the book it’s based on, it wasn’t that bad. It (and the sequels) are just hated because of how utterly and thoroughly they shit on the books.
- Comment on Anon loves sunny days 1 month ago:
Granted I think my heat intoletance is abnormal and when I get a doctor that doesn’t dismiss it out of hand I want to see if there’s a reason, but simply sitting in my chair at my pc in 22°C in t shirt and shorts is uncomfortably warm for me. 40 is just awful. Then again I barely notice a difference for anything above ~28, it’s all horrible.
- Comment on Anon is an example 2 months ago:
Lmao what
If you don’t want one and people make fun of you for that that is still shitty. Also it’s entirely possible to want one but just not enough to go actively looking. The only person that would be allowed to make that joke without being very certain he doesn’t mind would be anon himself. Society’s ultra focus on relationships and sex can feel bad enough without your fucking family making fun of you.
- Comment on Venom vs Poison 3 months ago:
Afaik they all kill you by being introduced into your bloodstream, the difference is mainly how they’re able to accomplish getting there. So any poison will kill you if you inject it, but venom will mostly be safe to ingest barring any wounds.
- Comment on Seriously. 3 months ago:
K is just shifted °C though and just removes what’s nice about it with freezing/boiling of watee while requiring 3 digit numbers for every temperature you’d encounter in daily life. I think I’d rather use Fahrenheit
- Comment on Looks like it was a ... boobie trap 3 months ago:
From what I’ve seen you have crossdressers self identifying as trap on one side and people that are unaware that group exists and think trap is exclusively a derogatory term for trans ppl (or think enjoying crossdressing MUST mean you’re trans) on the other.
It’s a whole mess as any offensive language tends to be, because words rarely ever only have one meaning and there’s also more than one language in the world but terms still cross from one language into others.
Honestly as long as you’re trying to be considerate of others I don’t think anyone can fault you, and that goes for everything. People will try to speak for everyone, but even when they do speak for the majority there are usually exceptions.
- Comment on Ah sweet! 4 months ago:
Sure, but where’s the upside? (ethically, not sure if consuming your own meat could have some sort of weird effect on you, even though afaik the usual cannibalism issues wouldn’t apply). If anything it’s more ethical to take it from yourself because you consent to it, the farm animal probably doesn’t.
- Comment on Anon is a homebody 4 months ago:
I find it interesting that somehow most of the comments assume anon is complaining when the pic is gigachad and it really reads more as making fun of himself without really having a problem with it.
Like honestly it sounds pretty alright
- Comment on Alignment Chart Shitpost 5 months ago:
Those are probably fine, yeah. Though germany has just as much of an issue with “flushable” wet wipes to my knowledge. I’ve certainly never encountered actually flushable ones in the wild.
Really cool product though, needs to become more widespread (or just bidets lol)

That’s a weird concept to me, we always had a fruit bowl in the living room. Or a sweets bowl. Or both.

- Comment on How many people actually want fully on-site IT jobs? 5 months ago:
Personally I just like my colleagues so it’s fun to be around them for the most part, and there are better lunch options around the office in my case (plus I’d never bother going somewhere when I’m home anyway). It being easier to just quickly ask a question is nice too. Also gets me actually out of the house and cycling for ~40 minutes a day. I also get way more done at work because working at the same pc I spend 90% of my free time at is not great at motivating my brain to do work.
Still, if I didn’t have the option to just stay home when I don’t feel like going to the office/am waiting for a package or something, I’d find that very annoying.
- Comment on When does investing become gambling? 5 months ago:
Shorting, crypto trading, options are all gambling. Long term investments are usually not.
One is hoping that the price will go a certain way in the short term. The other is giving a company money so they hopefully turn it into more money. that is the difference, nothing to do with casinos.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 6 months ago:
It’s an issue of political will, because it’s perfectly possible to keep cycling possible even in those conditions, but yea as long as that isn’t there you can’t always.
- Comment on Anon figures out how dieting works 6 months ago:
You kind of can’t. Caloric intake from food varies by person, as does energy use. You can use a calculator for a ballpark measure and then see how it works out for your weight.
Type of food can also matter, because depending on your stomach bacteria, you will also get different energy value from different foods. I thought an easy way for me to lose weight would be to stop eating sweets (since i prob averaged around 500kcal nominal value per day), but nope I ended up gaining weight, probably from eating slightly more normal food. What I found works for me was delaying each meal for longer so I end up eating one large and one smaller meal per day. Going to bed slightly hungry then I usually wake up not hungry and it takes a few hours before I feel the need to eat something, etc.
I even once lost weight drinking about 2 liters of choccy milk per day but eating a lot less regular food, though I wouldn’t recommend that because that much sugar is terrible for you anyway. Far worse than being a bit overweight, probably.
- Comment on Making healthier choices 6 months ago:
While what you said isn’t wrong, it’s not really the main issue. The energy a human body gets from food can be vastly different than what is produced by burning it, and there are further variations per person.
The calorie count on food to my knowledge is based on actual measurements with humans… from one guy doing experiments in the 1800s. And while it’s probably reasonably accurate on average, it’s not really possible to know how much energy a specific person will get from a food from a generalized calorie label. So even if the food itself had no variance, it would be impossible to label the energy intake you will get from it accurately.
- Comment on Cyberpunk 2077 director thanks fans as the game hits a 95% positive review rating on Steam 7 months ago:
I played it on a pc that was ok at the time and the physics engine glitched out so things that were supposed to be sitting still on top of/next to each other would randomly collide and sometimes fly off. Still had fun with the game though.
- Comment on The “Require videogame publishers to keep games they have sold in a working state” petition just got a response. 7 months ago:
I’d be fine with a minimum support time if an end of life date is not made clear when buying. Say a game has to be able to run for at least one more year after purchasing unless there is an explivit warning about the planned shut down date. That would at least seem reasonable to me.
Of course the optimum would be requiring either offline functionality, or, even better, enabling fans to host their own servers once the official ones shut down. That way games could be preserved for much longer.
But at the very least, people shouldn’t lose access after an unreasonably short time.

- Comment on Pierogi were good though 8 months ago:
To my knowledge AC in countries north of italy is basically nonexistent in private homes. Mediterranean countries do often have it though.
Fridges don’t even remotely compare to AC in power consumption, and inside temperature doesn’t differ as much as outside temperature in summer vs. winter because in winter the inside gets heated, and in summer isolation still keeps it below outside temps usually.
- Comment on If lasagna is sinful, then I'll see all y'all in hell. 8 months ago:
Ngl the people in the screenshot don’t strike me as white, rather western asian or somewhere around there. Not that I have much doubt that your average american christian cartoon just intends to make everyone white.
This perception is very subjective, usually when features aren’t super obviously one group, humans just default to what they’re most used to out of what fits their general appearance. For example anime characters will usually look european to europeans, but japanese to japanese people.

- Comment on Anon learns to love the bath bomb 11 months ago:
I also just don’t get the point of censoring. I don’t have any particular feelings about the word retarded, but I’m also autistic. Do I get annoyed when people use autistic as an insult (i hope it never reaches actual slur status because I’ll never accept it as such), esp for stuff that has nothing to do with ASD symptoms at all? Sure. Does it make it better if someone crosses it out in a screenshot, or censors it in a quote? Lolno.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 11 months ago:
Yea, from how you made it sound it seems similar to how it ended up being in nier - make a choice that does seem like it’ll end the game, but really it’s probably not very serious - credit roll, hope you saved recently. It would’ve very much benefited from simply autosaving at the correct time.
Imo it kinda depends on what kind of ending it is, if it’s still conclusive but maybe a bad end, that seems alright. Just if it clearly leaves me unsatisfied I’d be annoyed. I’d still really prefer just having a reload option, but I’d also rather game devs stick to their vision, just like fromsoft ganes really don’t need an explicit easy mode.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 11 months ago:
Because I am going to know ahead of time if a game does that? And it’s not like I didn’t enjoy nier automata.
Also no ones saying games can’t have anything like that, just that it’s not really what would generally be considered good design.
- Comment on Games that force you to make hard choices 11 months ago:
The random premature endings were already annoying in nier automata, and that did have save files. I almost never replay things, I get extremely bored. Took me forever to get through the second playthrough of nier automata as well, since that is so similar to the first.
If a game pulled that on me I just wouldn’t play it ever again and watch a cut scene compilation or something.
