- Comment on ‘Lower Decks’ Series Finale “The New Next Generation” Review, Plus Mike McMahan Interview 2 days ago:
The stuff coming out in the pipeline just seems kinda… well, Strange New Worlds was pretty good, I’m looking forward to more of that.
- Comment on ‘Lower Decks’ Series Finale “The New Next Generation” Review, Plus Mike McMahan Interview 2 days ago:
That’s the end of Lower Decks?
Paramount doesn’t know how to handle the wonderful IP they own…
- Comment on Is there any security in the communication with Voyager I? 2 days ago:
Naw, go for it
- Comment on What is your Game of the Year? 3 days ago:
Balatro, absolutely. Now that it’s on mobile, work will never get 100% out of me again.
- Comment on Brian Thompson, Not Luigi Mangione, Is the Real Working-Class Hero 1 week ago:
Bret Stephens’ job at the NYT is to create rage bait and you’re keeping food on his table.
- Comment on Can you? 4 weeks ago:
Lmao that’ll do it!
And demonstrates why OP coulda used some punctuation
- Comment on Can you? 4 weeks 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? 4 weeks ago:
This reads fine? It could use some commas but otherwise makes sense
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yah the question fits but the title should be edited.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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? 1 month 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? 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months ago:
Looks rather similar to Shapez 2.
- Comment on Electrofishing a huge school of Asian Carp below Barkley Dam. 2 months ago:
Doesn’t quite seem sporting, but I’m guessing they’re invasive and this is a cull.
- Comment on English Ivy 2 months 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 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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 2 months 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? 2 months 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? 2 months 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? 3 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 3 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.
