- Comment on The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft 1 week ago:
I don’t agree. I think shutting down places that promote bigotry and slurs is good.
What you’re making is a slippery slope argument that doesn’t really hold water.
- Comment on The oldest Minecraft server, MinecraftOnline, is being shut down by Microsoft 1 week ago:
Ngl, whenever “libertarians” get their hackles up about needing a right to “free speech”, I always suspect they mean bigotry and slurs.
- Comment on What's the key to a woman's heart and does finding love have a cutoff point? 1 week ago:
This reply actually speaks volumes. Good luck, buddy, you’re gonna need it.
- Comment on What's the key to a woman's heart and does finding love have a cutoff point? 1 week ago:
There’s no key to anyone’s heart. The less you obsess over dating and sex, the happier you will be.
- Comment on How can I learn to estimate the likelihood of real-world events? 1 week ago:
When in doubt, the AI is gaslighting you.
When you’re sure, the AI is still probably gaslighting you.

- Comment on What went wrong with Pizza Hut? 1 week ago:
It tastes like ass and has a texture unlike any pizza and more akin to a fried sponge?
- Comment on How do people get rid of or sell stolen jewelry? I ask cause the news says the the Louve thieves can never sell it because it so known? 2 weeks ago:
They either already have a buyer set up before the heist (seems unlikely, things that probably just happen in movies) or far more likely, cut it up into unrecognizable gemstones then sell it

Boy howdy Subnautica 2 is gonna suck ass huh
- Comment on Why don't police use rubber bullets instead of live rounds? I get if someone is holding a loaded weapon. But wouldn't a rubber bullet have the same effect with out putting holes in another person? 2 weeks ago:
Oh, honey, it’s not about protecting people…
- Comment on Why are some many people role playing as animals? 2 weeks ago:
Dunno how old you are, but we got internet when I was about ten years old and lemme tell you it’s always been there.
- Comment on Why are some many people role playing as animals? 2 weeks ago:
Imma guess, like most things it seems, they always have been, we just see it more thanks to the internet.
- Comment on New trailer for Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown has a rather bald Borg crew member 3 weeks ago:
This game looks interesting. After playing the demo, I think they got something really solid on their hands if they can figure out how to keep the procedurally generated events and alternative storylines interesting
- Comment on I will burn this fucker to the ground... internally 4 weeks ago:
I didn’t forget about them, I’ve just met many tech illiterate gen-x’ers which has informed my opinion here.
- Comment on I will burn this fucker to the ground... internally 4 weeks ago:
Yanno I thought about ending my post with “of course there’s exceptions for every generation”, but I thought as much would be common sense and could be assumed.
My father, born in the 50’s, is also very tech literate, but his existence doesn’t mean there’s not a trend with boomers to be technologically challenged.
- Comment on I will burn this fucker to the ground... internally 4 weeks ago:
The computer literacy of the younger generations is also alarming. While they’re pretty intuitive about using an app’s advertised features, they don’t seem interested in “exploring” computers and their capabilities like slightly older people.
What I’m saying is that the ability to convert to PDF lies exclusively with Millennials

It’s worse than stupid, it’s proselytizing.
- Comment on I just want to rush down a steep ramp, jump, hear whooshing sounds and land (with skis on my feet and in first person) for points. 4 weeks ago:
Annnnnnd now I miss playing Tribes.
- Comment on need games recommendation 4 weeks ago:
Aotenjo: infinite hands is essentially balatro but with mahjong. There’s many more hand types and ways to specialize your Wall (deck). I highly recommend it
- Comment on Is it? 4 weeks ago:
If I had a nickle for every time someone who knows I keep kosher offered me butter chicken “because it’s not pork”, I’d be a rich man.
- Comment on As Game Pass prices get laughably high, Microsoft is reportedly spinning up a free version of Xbox Cloud Gaming—but of course you'll have to sit through ads 5 weeks ago:
Canceled my sub via the handy link in the 50% price hike email.
Microsoft can huff my piss
- Comment on Is there a drink with taste of energy drink without caffeine? 5 weeks ago:
That’d really be great. I’d love making red bull cocktails without caffeine in them
- Comment on Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown looks like a field day for micro managers in its first gameplay trailer 1 month ago:
Looks neat! I got a chuckle when the trailer said “rewrite history” and immediately showed you can decide to not split Tuvix

We gotta return to our roots
- Comment on Is English just badly pronounced French? 1 month ago:
Save ya a click, lmao no. English is a Germanic language.
Weird to even suggest it
- Comment on 1 month ago:
That’s largely what the pre release reviewers said, too. It’s light on RPG elements but feels like Dishonored. They didn’t say it was bad, just unexpected and a different kind of game than the first.
- Comment on this is what my date just served..... 1 month ago:
Posted within a minute of each other.
Someone’s making a joke.
- Comment on Who were the key figures at the ‘unite the kingdom’ rally in London? 1 month ago:
The Unite The Right rally in the US should have been a more dire warning of what’s to come than it really served as here.
England, don’t fuck this up, this is your warning sign. You need to squash your fascist elements ASAP or join the US on the path to a new nazi regime
- Comment on Which came first: the kidney bean or the kidney body part? 1 month ago:
To save y’all a click, the organ came first, sometime in the 14th century, as a mix of the words for womb and egg. It wasn’t until the 16th century that we see the first recorded use of kidney bean, so the name of the bean references the shape of the organ.
