  Lmao that’ll do it!

  And demonstrates why OP coulda used some punctuation

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Alright, it needs some other punctuation, too, but that’s not so bad.

  I’m raising my kids by “if you have anything nice to say, say it” and “if you have anything nice you can do, do it”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  This reads fine? It could use some commas but otherwise makes sense

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yah the question fits but the title should be edited.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The word is trans woman. What you’ve said is fairly derogatory.

  In short, yes. Longer, there are some factors at play that can determine this. Some women taking estrogen lose some function in their penises and obviously women who’ve undergone vaginoplasty will face other challenges impregnating someone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No worries, we’re all trying to make it through the best we can and I didn’t feel anything adversarial in your critique, just a desire for you and your fellow worker to be treated with dignity in their labor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s fair. I meant cost as in cost to me, the consumer, which is the price, but I think what you’ve said here is a valuable thing to consider when wondering why it’s so expensive and yet shit now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The feeling bad part is aging.

  Quality has absolutely gone down, though, while cost has gone way up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it expected to tip for furniture deliveries?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If they come inside your house throw em some cash.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fortnite Chapter 2 Remix and Black Ops 6 nuketown this weekend, which will you be playing?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Factorio!! This work week has been hell and I have a week PTO starting Monday. So time to put in some effort in an asynchronous multi-player game with a friend.

  I’ve been playing Papers Please in the 30 min or so I have for gaming in the evenings lately. I might play more of that to see if I can get all the endings.

  Unless the weather is nice. Then I’m going fishing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I tell Pennsylvania I no longer live there?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think you can stop the calls or texts, elections are a product just like everything else here and those are the ads.

  They got your info and you can’t take it back now

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I'm stuck in the same area as someone who is clearly sick (runny nose, coughing etc) is there some combo of short/long breaths or nose/mouth breathing that's a better defense against catching it?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can wear a mask. I bring one with me on public transit or other places I expect a lot of people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Players are now less "accepting" that games will be fixed, say Paradox, after "underestimating" the reaction to Cities: Skylines 2's performance woes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah Paradox is finding their model of releasing unfinished games and getting around to solving it later less appealing!

  That is a little disappointing, actually, as Paradox made some damn good games this way. Crusader Kings 2, Hearts of Iron 4 and Stellaris were all made like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Block Factory is basically a LEGO factory automation game with diorama building⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Looks rather similar to Shapez 2.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electrofishing a huge school of Asian Carp below Barkley Dam.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t quite seem sporting, but I’m guessing they’re invasive and this is a cull.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨English Ivy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  English ivy may grow better in Kentucky soil than Kent chaulk, but I’m not familiar with that in the way I am kudzu.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨English Ivy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the vines in the second photo are kudzu tho

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨After is a new dating app that tries to tackle ghosting⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank goodness the program told me I have value after Tyler stopped replying once I showed him my asshole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is totally kosher where I am and I’ve done it before, but if I think I’ll be observed I’ll ask my neighbor. They’ve always responded with some variation of “oh of course, I consider it trash” and sometimes explain reasons they’re getting rid of it that dissuaded me from taking it that weren’t immediately obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think Sims is a dead franchise now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Life by You’s cancelation was a big disappointment to hear. I figured if any studio had an understanding of emergent intercharacter storytelling in the way a Sims game needed, it was Paradox.

  That said, Para-Lives is still in the works and looks quite promising.

  There’s still hope. Just not from EA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yo whaaat? I can still do that on my Note 20 ultra. That’s part of my workflow

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I miss when it was on the back, right around where you put your finger when you pick up the phone.

  The underscreen one is a major downgrade and I gotta fumble with it a few times to get it to work, usually.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA confirm that Respawn’s next Star Wars Jedi game will be the series’ “final chapter”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  … did someone mess up the AI prompt to generate the thumbnail? Maybe I didn’t read carefully enough but why is it Stargate instead of Star Wars?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the obscenely wealthy benefit most from having Republicans in power; and collectively they have disproportionate control over the economy; wouldn't they use that power to sabotage Democrats?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And the Sinclair Media Group.

  To answer OP’s question succinctly, yes, and they do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. is cracking down on Shein and Temu by closing a loophole that makes their cheap goods exempt from tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Buddy if I buy Panther Marten lures off Ali Express or from Dicks they come from the same factory in the same packaging at the same quality, but one costs $1.12 and the other $7.99.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. is cracking down on Shein and Temu by closing a loophole that makes their cheap goods exempt from tariffs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bullshit! I wanna buy cheap fishing gear for a tenth of the cost at Dicks.

  Better get some rods and reels en route before this goes into effect.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you recommend any of the Star Trek games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We talkin’ DS9 post-TNG Trek, Disco or SNW here?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you recommend any of the Star Trek games?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Star Trek The Next Generation Final Unity is one of the best Star Trek games made to date. It’s a point and click adventure game that essentially has you going through a long episode of Star Trek with a few different set pieces and plots.

  I think many video games miss the point of Star Trek and fail to capture the spirit of the show, but this one tells a story that could have been a handful of episodes.

  Whooo no new ideas

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese game Black Myth: Wukong tops Steam charts. What does it signify for the rest of the gaming world?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What a bizarre article…

  Framing a game release as a political soft power move is pretty bonkers stuff.
