I use a towel twice. Once then hang to dry use again then done. I find if i try to hang to dry again it either doesn’t quite dry by the next day or just has a kinda bleh texture i don’t enjoy, not soft anymore. So 2 uses it is

You would be shocked how bad most people are at cleaning themselves. They think just being under running water is enough or only wash upper with soap and the “rest runs down and gets washed”
Been washing my balls n ass since junior high and guys would look at me like I’m insane when i mentioned i shampoo downstairs, is how i came to find out most of them don’t even do basic soap let alone scrub down there

I mean you can always do it anyway and take away their ability to play those games. They will hate you for now, but later when they grow up, they will probably still hate you but a little less.

It just recently peaked at 50 million players lol. I hate the thing but it’s still very mainstream

If chess can be a mental sport there’s no way in hell that Starcraft isn’t. The mindgames and insane amount of instant control and choice making is crazy. Sure professional chess players attempt to go as quickly as possible but they could take their time if they wanted in Starcraft a fraction of a second can be the difference between winning or losing in a battle that you are controlling hundreds of variables

You really can’t glean the information just by looking at it if you’ve literally never seen one before in your life. It’s hard to Envision if you’re just used to it, like I said I was a little slow to read it but I still know how I’m just not used to it so it’s no longer instant . But I also can understand that if you’ve literally never seen one in your life and never had it mentioned to you you would really have no way to know what the difference between the big or the small hand was.
Now if you did sit and stare at it for long enough you could eventually figure it out as the hands moved but most people aren’t going to sit there and stare at a clock for 10min to try and figure it out.
At the end of the day even mundane things can be a skill, and I do agree that there is a substantial lack of critical thinking as the generations go on it was a problem already in my generation much less these latest ones. All That No Child Left Behind and standardized testing crap really destroyed schools hard it went from critical thinking to just memorize the answer or skip the question if you don’t know, asking questions became bad and unfortunately that’s going to follow you into adulthood

There is many reasons it happened but not being able to read analog clocks was not one of them. I’m sorry that it upsets you so much that I don’t agree but I feel like there’s a better way to express it than what you chose.
- Comment on Better safe than sorry 5 weeks ago:
I genuinely don’t know where I would even find an analog clock anymore outside of school and I haven’t been in school for more than 20 years. genuinely do not remember the last time I’ve seen an analog clock, and I work in a lot of public government offices who are usually pretty far behind the times but even they use digital clocks. to the point that I just went to look had a picture of one and it actually takes me a second to read now.
I don’t understand why people are so obsessed on holding on to knowledge that is not relevant to your daily life, digital clocks are objectively better at the task of telling the time and it’s what exists everywhere in life now I don’t really fault anyone for not being able to read an analog.

- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 5 weeks ago:
The heck are you talking about. My tuft and needle mint WITH the added cost of extra pillows and a sheet set wasn’t even a full $2000 it’s one of the best mattresses I’ve ever seen in my life I’ve had it for like 5 years now and there’s still zero indication of any type of settling or imprinting on the foam, it’s the perfect mix of firm supportive but comfortable and shape fitting. And every time I’ve seen a bed more expensive than that it’s felt terrible and basically just been about buying the brand name or some stupid exotic material it’s made of

I’m not saying that they aren’t basically the antichrist. The problem is we need an actual good solution, just hard line telling people that this is evil so you should put in a shit ton of effort to not using it is just not realistic. It’s not going to sway people, i do use nebula and floatplane which i pay for. They have their own problems but they aren’t as bad as YouTube but more importantly they are usable.
It’s very sad that the people that have the skills necessary to actually make something open are always also just so Hardline head up their ass about self hosting everything. I can self-host plenty I have piped, immich, jellyfin, frontend replacements for pixiv, imgur and others as well as my own pastebin. I’m no stranger to self hosting but that doesn’t mean that I’m stupid enough to think that it’s a viable way to get rid of YouTube it’s just not
- Comment on Gamers Nexus - Our Video Got Taken Down and What Will Happen Next 2 months ago:
If i have to host my own instance and client to get usable results it’s a non starter for 99% the population. I do want better than YouTube in terms of open and privacy but not if the only possible trade is removing all sense of usability

So it can be unwatchable with buffering every 5 seconds at 360p?
Love me some alternative self host but every time I’ve ever tried any peertube instance the videos are unwatchable due to the painful slowness

- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 6 months ago:
There is a single standard with no forks, I said not a single one followed. I run my own Matrix Home Server and use it frequently, there are a lot of different clients and there are a good number of them that do run their own features that are not exactly in Spec because one does not yet exist in the official spec. Stickers used to be a good example of that I remember when there were like three different clients Each of which implemented them in a different weird way until the spec finally landed on an implementation.
And even within this back there are some basic features not supported on certain clients and other such problems. I’m just saying it’s not an alternative to Discord and it will never be mainstream because it’s too confusing and frustrating from the perspective of a standard user.
Same concept that made bluesky get popular over mastodon, trying to find anything on Mastodon of interest is a chore because there’s no real Central spot to do everything the very nature of it is that it’s scattered to the winds, there’s also multiple apps available for Mobile on Mastodon Each of which have different layouts, different features, and normal people that just want to be able to find their topic of Interest can’t be bothered to deal with that
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 6 months ago:
Aaaaand this touches on the problem with matrix in general, no standard is properly followed, way too many forks with feature support all over the place
- Comment on Reminder if you're leaving Discord for this Revolt server ( Linux + Steam Deck devs / creators) 6 months ago:
Well, once the service becomes large and popular we could try to find people interested in investing into the platform, then we just need to make sure it stays interesting to more and more investors over time. Should be sustainable, sounds oddly familiar tho but i definitely just made it up rn on my own

I mean there is the fact that having the shower running while you’re sitting there taking a shit is kind of a waste of water, disregarding pain for it there’s also just the waste in general. Drinkable water is actually becoming a lot more scarce than I think people realize.
That being said I have absolutely no right to say anything because I take like 15 to 20 minute showers when I could absolutely take shorter ones so shit away my friends
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 8 months ago:
It’s difficult to be sympathetic because you are viewing the property as an asset financially. And not as a place to live, he likely does not give a shit that it’s appreciated and value because he has absolutely no intention whatsoever of selling and he plans to live there till he dies and that’s how housing should be viewed
