- Comment on How do I make my own internet? 2 days ago:
@See VPC, VPN, LAN, etc…
Corporate intranets (intranet essentially being “internal network” while internet is essentially “global network”) have existed for a long time but there are intranets all around us - everything on your side of your router can be treated as a local intranet and you can even set up a local DNS server (this is commonly used for ad blocking and I believe pi-holes use this technique though they might just use address blacklisting).
So, TL;DR you already do!

Butt stuff, we’re talking about butt stuff!
- Comment on do ribbed condoms feel better than smooth during anal? 2 days ago:
My terminology was a bit lacking - but that’s interesting, TIL!
So, for transwomen the nerves you’re dealing with for stimulation during anal probably are really close to ciswomen.
- Comment on do ribbed condoms feel better than smooth during anal? 2 days ago:
Oh, interesting - but a plug would probably fix that right? AFABs lack the prostate entirely, so that bundle of nerves doesn’t really help with sensations.
- Comment on do ribbed condoms feel better than smooth during anal? 3 days ago:
Eh, if you’ve got a prostate (aka you were AMAB) that’s probably doing most of the work so ribs likely wouldn’t matter. If you’ve seen toys designed for anal they often involve much more dramatic texturing (i.e. anal beads) since that will trigger a sensation that ribbing likely won’t.
And, if you think about it logically, if you’re constipated you kind of don’t want to feel every minor fissure or bump on what’s coming out.
So as an AMAB I haven’t observed a difference and I kind of doubt AFABs would either.

Eh… why are we trying to gatekeep cooking?
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 1 week ago:
Power buttons are often covered by cases and, since they’re usually a weak spot for water proofing, it’s more effective to have a case that fully covers the button. In-screen readers (like what I have on my Samsung A71) tend to be good enough most of the time.

Gosh, a famously southern company abusing their employees? Quelle Surprise!
- Comment on Men: What sequence do you fellow to dry your body off after showering or bathing? 1 week ago:
It’s good twerking practice, too!
- Comment on Men: What sequence do you fellow to dry your body off after showering or bathing? 1 week ago:
Neck to crotch on the front then a good rough polish cycle to try and dry off my back - all with a nice thin towel that knocks the moisture off rather than absorbing it. Once my body is done I have a separate fluffy towel for my long hair, face, and beard.

They’ve had to hire three new interns just to carry around my enormous pile of tabs.
- Comment on Does the GOP Stick Together so tightly to hide the fact that a large majority of them are involved in Pedophilia? 1 week ago:
Nah, I think it’s the influence of religion that makes that shit more common in the GOP. They mostly seem to stick together out of fear and unbridled hatred.
- Comment on Do deaf people play media with sound on? 1 week ago:
My stepson is profoundly hard of hearing so he’ll crank that shit up to 11. His Bluetooth hearing aides are excellent when he’s listening to something privately and you often can’t tell anything is playing over them (which he’ll do pretty often while having a conversation because he lip reads) but if he wants to share a video or music he’ll crank that shit way up.
- Comment on Why does Facebook and Instagram still provides web interface when most of their users use the Android or IOS app? 1 week ago:
Instagram is especially awful when using a web browser… but pintrest wins my award for the best black hole of all time. Information goes into pintrest and then it dies forever.
- Comment on [Serious] Is there a sub/community here that I can ask deeply personal questions about my sexuality to?? 1 week ago:
If you’ve got a thick skin and are willing to pick through the asshole responses then this sub will tend to get you the most feedback… but a good deal of that will be hot garbage - otherwise the more niche subs should help filter out a lot of the assholes - blahaj tends to be pretty aggressive about killing trolls in particular, because, honestly, we get enough of that shit in real life.
- Comment on Is there a wig that doesn't heat your head? 1 week ago:
I’m not certain - but I’d mention that because wigs lie directly against the scalp they tend to have less airflow. Hats that are designed for hot weather usually try and minimize how much material is actually touching your skin.

Yes. Just fucking drink tea if coffee creeps you out.

Go down to your local grocery store, start yelling “I’ll kill you all” and then rush at random customers.

- Comment on All employees of Annapurna Interactive (Stray, Outer Wilds) resign en masse after requesting to stay independent and owner said No. 2 weeks ago:
To be fair - the best publishers I’ve worked with have actively worked to make sure resourcing that’s needed is allocated even if it’s been beyond our means.
- Comment on All employees of Annapurna Interactive (Stray, Outer Wilds) resign en masse after requesting to stay independent and owner said No. 2 weeks ago:
If this team reformed under a new brand they would have the proven track record and clout in the industry to score a lot of publisher money - assuming they didn’t just want to self-fund on loan (and a bank would likely be pretty receptive to that).
All the value (outside of the IP held by the company) is in the people that resigned. This is an excellent move and I hope more employees feel empowered to make moves like this to ensure an equitable share in decision making and revenue distribution.
- Comment on Why limit immigration? 2 weeks ago:
Eh, it doesn’t really seem like that tends to happen… economies are weird and if you keep adding people you tend to just get more and more service jobs.
- Comment on Why limit immigration? 2 weeks ago:
Immigration only really causes economic issues with bullshit employee specific visas like H1Bs - those visas trap immigrants in powerless positions where they’re unable to advocate for fair compensation and drive down overall wages.
Everything else is fucking bullshit xenophobia.
- Comment on how do I accept I'll never know why any employer rejected me? 2 weeks ago:
Because employers are opaque and their evaluation of you isn’t something that should be important to you. They’re not giving you a clear response oftentimes because they want to avoid legal issues.

Included in that range are both terracotta and bone China which are radically different materials.
