  Interesting how “unrealized gains” only become a problem when wealthy folks are involved

  …do you think wealthy people don’t own property? 🤔

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It was different vibe back then⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  OG doesn’t stand for Old Gangster, it’s Original. Is the second console the Original?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It was different vibe back then⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t this a 360? How on earth is that OG?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You gotta try #19⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  5 or 6, for sure. If you can’t hold it horizontally without it flopping, it’s not done enough, and if you can’t hold it horizontally without it breaking from its own weight, it’s too done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Hampshire woman says Planet Fitness canceled her membership after she reported man in locker room⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Walcott said that a few days before the incident she had emailed Planet Fitness headquarters asking about its transgender policy but said she received no response. 

  So, before any of this happened, you asked about their trans policy and then just so happened to encounter the boogeyman shortly after 🤔 sounds super plausible and not at all like she was fishing for conflict

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨liquor is fine though, its the carbonation they worry about⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Tbf, it’s definitely brand based. The cheap ones are, unsurprisingly, well… cheap.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is mostly unrelated but a local restaurant makes their own ketchup with honey as the sweetener and it is the best goddamn ketchup I’ve ever had

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Choose!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Why’d you have to do nu metal like that

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PlayStation Studios Removes Nearly All PC References From Websites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t played my PS5 in many months, and have no motivation to get a PS6 for $1000 or whatever they end up on. It’s sad to see Sony games go, because I have and absolutely would continue to get them on PC, but there’s literally no chance of me buying another one of their consoles.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone tell the world to slowdown so I can catch up to the events of the previous 12 hours properly⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I definitely think it’s optimistic to assume pro cornhole was his primary income, but maybe? 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How is “upscaling while preserving it” not literally the exact same philosophy as “enhance by applying a filter?” You just don’t like the specific filter, it’s very literally the same process.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New open world parkour game Panline is so exact a reflection of Mirror's Edge it gives me vertigo⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t the Mirror’s Edge sequel also open-world? That game failed pretty spectacularly, so how is this different? I see mention of upgrades, but the article really doesn’t go into much depth at all

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just one more square bro⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In the “optimal packing” scenario, it’s slightly too small - like 4.95x4.95

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2 North American 4 you has been created⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  First time I’ve ever heard this one… not Austria or Germany?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Retro StarCraft prizes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  People treat it like an investment because they don’t understand how it actually works.

  People treat it as an investment because it has historically grown in value at a rapid pace. It literally couldn’t matter less “how it actually works.” What matters is the likelihood that its value will increase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alabama is forcing incarcerated people to work at hundreds of companies, including McDonald’s & Wendy’s. Unionizing is illegal. The state takes 40% of wages.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They get a whole 3/5 of their wages!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Between raising two young boys and putting in long hours at a marketing job, Kevin Caldwell can almost never find the time to make dinner. So he and his husband spend about $700 a week to order in"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So tired of hearing this dumb fuck argument. Ordering food =/= fastfood. The amount of people that seem to think their little bit of homecooking can compete with professional chef’s is laughable.

  Oh, honey. That “healthy” restaurant you order from isn’t actually healthy. They are poisoning you with fat, salt, and sugar, and that’s what you think food is supposed to taste like. All you’re eating is dopamine, nothing actually good for your body.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Between raising two young boys and putting in long hours at a marketing job, Kevin Caldwell can almost never find the time to make dinner. So he and his husband spend about $700 a week to order in"⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  When I make baked potatoes at home I usually use 2 of the biggest potatoes I can find. Per person that is. Then I use Quark with 40% fat, mix in some cream, at least a teaspoon of salt, green onion and some frozen herbs.

  I will always remember a conversation I had with a chef friend… he said something along the lines of “Of course restaurant food tastes better… take the butter you’d add, then double it. Then double it. Then double it again. Then add some cream.”

  You are vastly underestimating how unhealthy restaurant food is for you - even the “healthy” places are ridiculous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone explain why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve seen the opposite, and when I got my physical my doctor definitely supported that everyone has been drinking a lot more than previous. I’d say my use ticked down during lockdown but up afterwards 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do people eat this?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Literally any meat in a pan

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't my phone put all of my apps to "sleep" by default?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Usually connectivity reasons. If an app is asleep, it can’t receive or send notifications, so there would be absolutely no “background” tasks or receiving messages, etc.

  Some of that is for data theft reasons, like someone else stated, but definitely not all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨who's gonna tell him?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doesn’t grok also have a standalone app? US politicians just explicitly and vocally support child porn, these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As Fortnite Enables Third-Party Microtransactions, Steal the Brainrot's Developer is Slammed By Fans For Immediately Adding $45 Premium Bundles and Gambling-Style Mechanics⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t forget that while this is all happening, Tim Sweeney (Epic CEO) is actively defending child porn on X.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 sales stumble over Christmas⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good. I hope they choke on their new pricing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for a simmer to not produce any bubbles?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My immediate guess is that the measurement is off (measuring pot temp instead of water temp, perhaps) or you’re at a really low elevation or there’s weirdly high air pressure? The former is far more likely than the latter, usually people only experience water boiling sooner than expected due to high elevation. It should absolutely be simmering at 203

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tankie⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t trust a single ICE or DHS agent to do the right thing in this situation. We have proof of at least one Chinese tank crew doing so.

  How do you define “better”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(TW) Phishing mail in 2026⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s literally in the title of the post

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is this even a question?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  To be clear, I took that as her comparing two different Waffle Houses and the one with the race war was less dramatic than the other

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truth⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like mine’s the opposite… the first side is perfect and then I overcook the second because the pan got hotter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Unquestionably high class⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wouldn’t even eat lobster in Iowa, let alone pay that much for it. Where do people think the lobster is coming from?
