  Historically I still “lose” these types of arguments as my willfully ignorant interlocutor spams potential strawman and ad hominem “arguments” until they feel sufficiently convinced that my pesky facts and I are safe to ignore.

  In my experience there are very few people worth arguing with, as there are very few people willing to argue in good faith. Most people see arguing as a battle to be won or lost rather than a mechanism by which to vet assumptions. How can you expect to argue with a person who is unable to argue with themselves?

  Ranier Wolfcastle in front of a brick wall saying “that’s the joke.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the purpose of this plastic piece?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m going to disagree with most of these comments. They don’t protect the prong so much as they protect the cord or other objects in the cords vicinity (painted surfaces, fragile surfaces, etc). The little plastic cap that covers tire stems on cars and bikes , while keeping it clean when installed, are primary to prevent chaffing issue on the inner tube whike shipped and stored; same thing with this prong shroud. They have holes in them as to not retain moisture I imagine.

  Long story short, the prongs are metal and have corners. They are the strongest, “sharpest” thing in the box. The plastic isn’t protecting the prongs from us, it’s protecting us from the prongs.

  It’s a race between junk food vs. an actual meal. Junk food is easy and self indulgent, real food requires time and effort. It doesn’t matter that junk food is a terrible value and lacks any nutrition. The Trump people choose junk, conservatives choose Trump people because the Trump people are mathematically mandatory to maintain their caste.

  Sure why not, and lets kill a couple goats and shit for good measure too while we’re at it.

  Ah, interesting. That sounds pretty negligible, feature wise. Might be fun on a racing game or something I suppose.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to decide what kind of controller one should purchase?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I recommend going to a pawn shop. They likely have a variety of late model controllers. You can then hold them and see which speaks to you. I bought a ps5 controller from a pawn shop for like $50 over a year ago and I’ve loved it. I use it over Bluetooth with steam and I get rumble and all that.

  I use a ps5 controller on pc and get rumble? Even the weirdo trackpad in the middle works like a cursor.

  “you just waited patiently at a traffic signal behind a soldier with a Hemi !!!”

  “You just merged onto the freeway behind a soldier with a Hemi !!!”

  “You just momentarily shared a roundabout with a soldier with a hemi !!!”

  “You just got served coffee at a drive through after a soldier with a Hemi !!!”

  “If you happen to be a soldier with a hemi, that means a soldier with a hemi is behind a soldier with a hemi !!!”

  Dishonored 2 took me hours upon hours to get to run properly due to some sort of processor, gfx card, driver, directx, zodiac sign, poltergeist , whirlpool of death that I couldn’t ever seem to conquer. After absolutely decimating my computer, reinstalling every, and I mean EVERYTHING, windows, drivers, firmwares, replacing ram, sacrificing goats, it fiiiiiinally ran. The trouble shooting portion essentially ruined a week or two of my life, but once it was running I had a great time. That game is the bomb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite game you played this year? (Doesn't have to be released this year )⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish that I could get it to run in ultra wide in some convenient way. I remember liking the game straight up, and was always a little perplexed by the fan base beef. Mods seem like it could really kick it up a notch though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Facepalm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  The bully part comes in when YouTube music is rolled into the cost. I would pay for youtube premium if all I got was a premium YouTube (and therefore the price was substantially lower). But what they’re doing is leveraging the popularity of YouTube to try and force the bolstering of YouTube music subscribers. Furthermore, they are currently increasing the price for premium in several markets. So the already too high cost is temporary at best and nearly guaranteed to go up even further with absolutely no increase in benefits. Paying to remove ads seems fine, but what they are attempting to do goes beyond that simple quid pro quo. They are being coercive and indirect to a degree I find unethical. Thus, bully.
