80s cyberpunk where they have video calling and moon resorts, but the internet is closer to a system of carrier pidgeons than whatever the fuck this is.

- Comment on Game franchises you like, but wish were anothet genre of video game? 4 weeks ago:
Sunless Sea mentioned! Most of its value is in setting, writing and atmosphere, which are all really well executed. The gameplay was fun enough, but combat is tedious and I tried to avoid it, like you’d do in a horror game. I see it more as a visual novel with some exploration and resource management. Focus on the story, the characters, the locations. Fetch a macguffin only because it makes the story progress or because it makes you go beyond the explored world, not because you’re so interested in the act of fetching.
- Comment on Peers vote to ban pornography depicting sex acts between stepfamily members 4 weeks ago:
It’s step, not half-siblings. The man in question is only related through civil contracts between your parent and his parent and, keeping with the lore of the step video, those civil contracts were only created after both of you reached the legal age of consent. The taboo is merely in the legal ambiguity of the situation.

Is it biased to judge a video by its thumbnail, title and first few minutes? Especially if it’s a video of an hour that’s front loaded with fluff, I don’t have any reason to assume the rest of the hour will be worth my time. The longer the video, the more important it is to show you’re not just padding for length.
- Comment on Your RAM Has a 60 Year Old Design Flaw. I Bypassed It. 4 weeks ago:
Finally got around to watching (half), and she does explain it and gets into some real interesting technical stuff, so I judged too soon.
I think she’s doing herself a disservice by opening with the dramatic reenactment though, because I bounced off on that, also on an earlier video. There’s not really a gradual buildup either, so someone who actually likes the drama will get a cold blast of RAM spec sheet right after and likely stop there. Better to let everyone know what they’re getting into at the start, right?
- Comment on Your RAM Has a 60 Year Old Design Flaw. I Bypassed It. 4 weeks ago:
The title is objectively clickbait though, even if she does eventually explain the design flaw. But I think if she’s doing an hour on the history of RAM design, she could be honest about that.
This is probably a matter of taste, but I can’t sit through 58 minutes of slow buildup just to get to “ram has to refresh, that takes 300 nanoseconds sometimes, you could eliminate that at the hardware level by making all ram twice as expensive”
Thanks Laurie, but you don’t have to pretend all ram is fundamentally broken to make me watch an hour of maths and engineering. 3blue1brown does that all the time with titles like “What is a laplace transform?” and thumbnails of plain formulas on black backgrounds.

Can someone explain Laurie Wired to me? I see her in my recommendations sometimes, but I don’t click obvious clickbait.
Take this one, is it actually a design flaw or is it just a compromise that was made for good reasons and is kept around for those same reasons?
Maybe I’ll watch the video and report back, can always remove it from my watch history.

I know mine does it, but it could be a feature of the 4chanX extension? I haven’t used 4chan without it in years. It’s not direct quotes, but you click the number to see the post inline.
- Comment on Anon doesn't want to be fixed 1 month ago:
There’s actually very few straight examples of Beautiful All Along. It’s a trope that is played with, but mostly parodied and lampshaded, sometimes even purposefully inverted to make the point that Anon is making here.

It is a cute shirt and we could easily make it a reality:
- Text from this poster
- Plain clothes meguca
- Some kind of GIMP-like software
- A printer that does shirts (Redbubble)

I’m saving this for when someone sends me a friendly message and I don’t know how to respond. It will probably derail my relationship, but at least they know what happened.
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 1 month ago:
It’s been done: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whisper_(app)
And more generally, anonymous message boards have been around for a very long time. I don’t really see what niche is left to fill. It’s also a huge risk to build a product around anonymity and controversial opinions. People will use it for illegal shit and you have to deal with that. At least 4chan has a small army of janitors to keep the site clean and posting controversial opinions isn’t even its entire identity.

- Comment on One in 14 children who die in England have closely related parents, study finds 2 months ago:
There’s a lot of numbers in that article, but the most important number is missing: how common is it in the UK to have closely related parents? The only number mentioned is the 1 in 6 in Bradford, which is unbelievably high, but would mean that “1 in 14 of deceased children have consanguinous parents” is actually lower than expected.
- Comment on Just a few 2 months ago:
Society changed a lot since Biblical times. They didn’t “live together” in the same house, but these people certainly “lived together” in the same street or village before getting married. People didn’t really have a lot of “home life” like we do now, they’d be out in the fields, or cooking in front of their home. So they’d see each other’s home life and it’s more “getting a house for themselves” than a big change in privacy or contact hours.

- Comment on The cops pay Anon a visit 2 months ago:
do so knowing that the evidence is to be produced during a legal or court proceeding
If they haven’t accused you of anything yet, deleting “how to rob banks.txt” is just normal cleanup. Anon can’t know what might be relevant evidence after some cops ask to see his computer and leave. Of course, some files may have legal restrictions regardless of crime, for example financial records.

I tried to read it, but I was filtered by the first chapter being a rant about how no one wanted to buy his books. (I think it’s Genealogy that does that?)

- Comment on the 'wow you're really annoyingly explaining simple items with complex words cause you're a nerd' starter kit 4 months ago:
I gave it a try too, but I also got stuck on spoonerisms and malapropisms. Of the literary examples given by Malapropism (Wikipedia), could it be Constable Dogberry, Dogberryisms? He likes to use big words to sound imposing, but often says the opposite of what he intends:
Thou wilt be condemned into everlasting redemption for this.
Then we have Delusions of Eloquence, where a character is using big words wrong, to humorous effect.
Or the opposite, Sesquipedalian Loquaciousness), where big words are used right.
If we’re looking for a trope that’s named after a character, maybe Asperger Syndrome fits the bill?
But no, I can’t find this specific variant either, if it was ever notable enough to get a name. Maybe you can think of more examples? Is it always the right word with the wrong shape? It sounds like something a child might do, because adults are more likely to do the wrong word with the right shape (a malapropism). Maybe a side character in Charlie Brown or Dennis the Menace.

- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 5 months ago:
You could make it single-use tokens and rate limit individual users when they request too many tokens in a short time. Someone could still share their tokens with a friend, but it doesn’t scale to where thousands are verifying with some stranger’s id.
