- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 week ago:
i don’t think it counts as such when the money didn’t go down but sideways.
- Comment on What happens when a prominent person is assassinated and the perpetrator cannot be identified? 2 weeks ago:
Depends on who’s funding the investigation. If there’s limited funds, people tend to move on and just accept things as they are.
Another infamous way to go around this is to offer a scapegoat to take the blame.
- Comment on Where does the music go? 2 months ago:
the music goes back again to be later re streamed to other people that might need it
- Comment on Does anyone watch Google, Microsoft, etc the way Cop Watch watches cops? 2 months ago:
sorry, i also didn’t get anything close.
best i can do is bbb.
eff, as has been suggested, is also doing great things, but they’re not specifically the watchdog.
- Comment on How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room? 2 months ago:
i tend to use the pain scale to give me a hint on decisions like this. so i guess the first question to ask before the pain scale is “am i in a state of shock?”
note: i am not in any medical field nor had intensive training.
- Comment on Is Ryze Mushroom Coffee Just Another Craze? 2 months ago:
for me, it is a craze because the food is not tested enough for its marketed effects.
sure, many other people also claim to feel its benefits but the numbers just ain’t enough, for me at least.
then again, not all people are the same. you can give it a shot for science. nothing wrong with trying.
- Comment on how do I accept that a doctor earns more than double what I do? 3 months ago:
you can customize the serenity prayer as a form of mantra if it fits you more.
i use it as a constant reminder that life is what we make it to be.
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 3 months ago:
chronoark lets you die and counts your deaths for you.
anything agatha christie/ hercule poirot is light detective work (good for kids and or newbies) with optional handholding
i remember there’s some good mystery modules with neverwinter nights
morrowind quests don’t coddle at all. they all look like journal entries.

- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 3 months ago:
aside from great comments here, trump is associated with some religious imagery of having wings. even i can’t believe that flies.
nothing goes as tunnel vision as blind faith.
- Comment on We need more games like The Stanley Parable, so I'm making one! Please share ideas and suggestions about what you want to see in this type of game! 4 months ago:
the part i like the most with the stanley parable is how the narrator (lines and voice acting) has handled each game route.
i feel there’s a mix of excitement and teasing there that makes you follow his lead.
also to add is the clarity of the voice. i didn’t need subs when i played the game.
- Comment on what is with child names like Aiden, Braiden etc? 4 months ago:
just a naming trend. it will phase out given some time.
- Comment on Help me out here 5 months ago:
There’s one in the Austin Powers movies with a funny scottish accent.
I don’t think he’s not a gamer tho. “Dead sexy” funny guy nonetheless.
- Comment on Would it be possible to run two OSs simultaneously by hibernating one of the OSs? 5 months ago:
in theory, I think you would also need a shared component that enforces the alternating “rules” that both OS understands.
that component also needs to be always awake so it will facilitate hand overs like an OS of OSes.
- Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no 6 months ago:
gifted people are gifted if you compare them with others (see how there’s a graph on the bottom right panel).
if you take out the comparisons, everything is all fine as individuals are who they decide themselves to be.
- Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no 6 months ago:
second place or (second region from peak) is apparently a hard place to be.
in alternate mindsets, it’s all fine – you are what defines you.
- Comment on He-Man Reborn: Nicholas Galitzine Steps into the Role for ‘Masters of the Universe’ Film 6 months ago:
personally this news is amusing for me.
i understand the nostalgia behind it, but everytime i see he-man, the song and skeletor memes immediately pop up.
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 7 months ago:
there is no to-ask-or-not,
just questions which are treated as they are.
- Comment on Let π = 5 7 months ago:
suspension of belief is also being tested, I see.
- Comment on Is it normal to forget things from the previous day often? 8 months ago:
I think from time to time, it is normal.
a lot of people don’t really pay attention to day-to-days unless there’s something specific or particularly attention grabbing about it.
if I understood the post as it meaning you find yourself in a steady decline of remembering, that might be something else.
- Comment on Catastrophic Failure 8 months ago:
As with all Jungian forms of practice, contacting you website administrator may help reveal your true catastrophic failure self.
- Comment on Does more knowledge/awareness have a tendency to reduce enthusiasm for some subjects/activities? 8 months ago:
For me it’s per activity and how you get your fun from it.
Like for example, in a game of hide and seek, the fun part is exploring and finding where people hid, if you already know that then it is not fun anymore. This kind of activity lines the same as with reading books or watching a movie.
On cooking, it is a different kind of fun because the more you know, the more you can apply. Medicine people have the same tendencies as well as athletes for these.
There’s also the type of fun you get with jokes, or for music.
Other people’s mileage may vary as each have their own approaches to different activities.
- Comment on bioluminescence 8 months ago:
this reminded me of the clock girls story, “radium girls”, I think.
but since bioluminescence is powered differently, it’s a way better approach than artificial splashes of paint.

Pavlov wouldn’t need a dog for this.
just look at those smiles at food commercials.

He should have asked how to do the rolling of boulders.
He missed his chance.
- Comment on How do CAPTCHAs work without giving you a challenge task? 9 months ago:
in my experience, you can sometimes get away messing a token or two in the user string as long as it is one of the common ones out there. start injecting BeOS and other arcane values in and things get less reliable.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
so the next best thing is to never give up.
you’ll find the one that can see you over those imperfections!
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
There’s a lot of preferences out there. Most try to chase unicorns but each of them have their own phases.
I think you can compensate it by not giving up, or just know when your time to chase unicorns is over.
- Comment on Why does this even exist? 10 months ago:
some people take their canning process to the extremes.
as an aside, I’ve never seen a canned pickle product. I guess they stopped at chicken.
- Comment on NASA unlocks $1B canister of asteroid dust 10 months ago:
For the others who asked the same question as me of “how did they know the canister was valued 1 billion?”, the title was amended. The space craft that sent the capsule is worth the 1 billion.
