Anon wasted their life by age 33 by working a job and being alone?
- Comment on one bright second 5 days ago:
The more you zoom out, the more you realize how insignificant we are. I’ve heard a lot of people realized this when they saw “The Pale Blue Dot” photograph of earth, but I had to have the perspective of time to realize it. We are nothing, not even a spit in the sea.

Is it? What gives it away? Text on whiteboard looks suspicious, but it was probably added in post.
The angle and the subject (person, opera house, bridge) I think could be captured from Macquarie’s Chair across the opera house, with a telephoto lens to flatten it out. But I’m not 100% on it. - Comment on Grab your pitchforks 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t try it but whatever floats your boat. Who the fuck am I to tell someone what they should eat and like? Matter of fact, who the fuck are you?

When lunchtime approached at her usual morning time, Becca waited and waited, still and silent, till the sun set on the calm and foamy sea. She sat waiting in the golden hour sun, stomach churning, wondering why.

Sounds to me like they’ve made up their minds a long time ago and have proven their love for one another for over 30 years. I don’t think there exists a thing that could prove it better.
- Comment on PS6 and next Xbox console are both aiming for 2027 release, separate reports claim | VGC 1 week ago:
Mine has seen some use… but its nowhere near what I was expecting when I bought it. I own it for the exclusives and while I did enjoy them (GT7, Ragnarok, Spider Man 2, Astro Bot, Death Stranding 2), I also think I could have done without them and waited for the eventual PC release. I hope Intergalactic (Naughty Dog) remedies my feeling towards the console, but so far, nothing it’s seen has been generation defining.
Most probably skipping consoles after this gen. - Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
More power to them. I love it when I get to use a flame to cook, as long as the fuel is wood or charcoal.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
Energy usage is the only consideration for me. It hurts a little when I have to fire up the oven, knowing an air flyer could do it more efficiently. I do use an induction stove for everything else though and that shit is efficient.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 1 week ago:
That’s true. I own a frying pan and an oven.
Health benefits don’t really concern me. I’m in no hurry to get anywhere so the time benefits do not apply to me. I never deep fry things. I think I’d sooner buy a rice cooker. - Comment on Get a load of this guy! 1 week ago:

- Comment on I finally decided to go full piracy against big companies 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think I’ve pirated a game since 2008! Used to be if I didn’t like their price, I waited and bought on sale or used. Now that I play on PC and used games aren’t a thing anymore, I just don’t play it.
There’s a sea of games out there and If I don’t like the practices of the publisher, I skip them. Why should I engage with their product if they don’t respect me as a customer or share my sensibilities? I’m not a hypocrite.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 3 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t say no to oblivion remaster treatment. Completely new models and environments in a new engine, while running the old game logic.
Right now it really does look like they remastered it to in 2007 and are releasing it now.
I think its more sad they’re doing a remaster and not putting more effort into it. - Comment on Daily routine for me 4 weeks ago:
Reminds me of old youtube.
- Comment on OpenAI admits AI hallucinations are mathematically inevitable, not just engineering flaws 4 weeks ago:
I don’t get why they’d be called hallucinations thought. What LM’s do is predict the next word(s). If it hasn’t trained on enough data sets, the prediction confidence will be low. Their whole output is a hallucination based on speculation. If they actually don’t know the next word order, they’ll start spewing nonsense though I guess that would only happen if they were forced to generate text indefinitely… at some point they’d cease making (human) sense.
LMs aren’t smart, they don’t think, they’re not really AI.

Man I remember this photo. Bought V for 360, beat it and haven’t touched it since. After Gay Tony and The Lost and Damned I waited for a story expansion that never came.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 5 weeks ago:
So anyway, you guys excited for Hades 2?
- Comment on Fuck Chad 5 weeks ago:
They’ll repurpose the ISS instead of retiring it due to age and safety concerns. Just like the invisible hand would have wanted.
- Comment on Star Citizen fans sigh deeply, rub their foreheads as developer casts doubt on Squadron 42's 2026 release: 'I don't know if we're going to make it' 5 weeks ago:
Yeah… all I wanted was Freelancer 2.
Then I realized, Microsoft had to step in, get rid of Roberts so Freelancer could see the light of day. And it dawned on me, we’re not seeing Freelancer 2 from this guy. - Comment on winter fans 1 month ago:
Looks amazing.
- Comment on Metal genres 1 month ago:
I feel like I’m “Its all metal” cause I don’t judge and will listen to a lot of it as long as I can understand the vocals. But I’ll lean more towards the classic stuff like early Sabbath and Dio (both rainbow, sabbath and solo) and if its more modern it just ends up being Iron Maiden (I still love The Final Frontier or Book Of Souls… which are 15 and 10 years old now… fuck me). No idea of any new artists after like 2000 lol. I don’t see myself here.

- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 2 months ago:
I think someone in this thread posted a similar thing that’s probably better. When I left, there wasn’t anything like it so I had to cobble something together.

You can’t be racist against white people.
Racism is discrimination or prejudice based on race. By definition, you are incorrect.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 2 months ago:
Yeah… I did this too when leaving. Made a small app to edit and delete every comment I made. I actually had a useful IT related self hosting post which was also nuked. I guess that’s the price the whole community had to pay for reddits thirst for profit.

This implies every drink and its display is handled by its own computer running linux. Potentially mtndew has a different IP than coca cola. You need to ssh to this thing multiple times to do maintenance!
- Comment on get sum 2 months ago:
I’d say 10% not fucking is pretty standard/average and your thinking you were all (100%) doing it is either clouded by your own experiences or you grew up in a very liberal community where it deviates.
Why its rising is questionable. Personally, I’d say its due to rising depression rates… well, it correlates at least.
