It does have it’s benefits. Clear, precise goals. In coding it’s really a good help in deciphering obscure errors, or just throwing a quick prototype you can work out then. As a hobby-coder this is good help.
But general chatting is totally not it. It just offers the illusion of having a talk, but there is none.it just tries everything to please you. Only thing that sometimes(!) Help is adding “no hallucination, if no data, say so. Verifyable facts only.” or such. Then again, its searching capabilities surpass mine obviously, so it’s still helpful at times.

I’d guess it’s mostly young, easily influenceable boys from poorer surroundings and with a not yet refined taste in music. “Refined” not meant condescending but in the sense of diversification: “I know 5 movies. Those are the greatest movies ever!”. And “I now know 50000 movies. Those 5 10/10 from before are now the worst 5 movies ever”.

That’s because we nearly all live in societies that vastly favor the dark triad (or tetrad). Those traits are the worst humanity has to offer, but also you will find it in most people of wealth and/or power.
I’d guess the majority of people just want peace, love and harmony. But that shit is unprofitable.

Consoles are PCs, but that is totally irrelevant as they’re walled gardens with just a super-tiny fraction of all games there are.
You can’t narrow a definition to a limited subsection of what a PC is, simply because (ironically), some of them are locked down to block competiton
Of course one could. If you say “I’m PC-gamer” everyone knows you’re not on PlayStation or a smartphone. Despite them all, including wearables and my toaster, are kinda PCs.
If you ask gamers unprompted what the biggest gaming stores are, I guarantee that Xbox, Playstation and Nintendo’s stores will be mentioned
Mentioned of course. On top? I doubt it, but also lack data to prove it. Or the opposite. I know those stores too, despite only having had a console in the 80s (the Atari 2600) and a gameboy for a week.
Xbox might be a bit different, as to my knowledge, as you can also game their stuff on PC too with the same license.
Forced at gunpoint to get a console, it surely be steam deck. And I don’t even like steam. But it’s A) more than just a store. It’s a gargantuan gaming a community around a store. B) it made gaming on Linux totally viable

Most people don’t even know what steam is
Maybe those who don’t own a PC but only ever knew consoles. Everyone else sure does know steam.

Ad hominem isn’t a strong debating tactic in my view
No ad hominem, just an obvious observation you demonstrated solidly again with that reply. And if you really took that ad hominem, then so were lots of assumptions about my “lavish rich fancy lifestyle” or “one romantic, many sexual partners”. I didn’t bring me, personally, at all into this argument.
or you’re playing the ad hominem again.
Nope, I wouldn’t know you enough to form a dislike to attack you personally, just because I am out of actual arguments. It was honestly meant. Why should I wish you being romantically ignored by life.
Despite that, I would now repeat my same points again, only for them to get ignored, and I really don’t like that. I drown in sparetime but it’s still too precious to waste it on a lost cause. No offense meant, it’s just fruitless to continue this.
- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
I’m getting tired of just repeating my points over and over, if you just want me to acknowledge our life is different. I also probably like different colors that you do. Great. That’s settled. This is of such marginal importance to my initial point.
Maybe you struggle with abstractions and logic or I just have to accept that my point is invalid because your life isn’t like mine. If that makes you happy, so be it.
I truly wish you’d find romantic love and also get laid.
- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
And yet again you talk about you and me, while I simply made a point about the rarity of two commoditites compared. It doesn’t matter at all if I’m “brad Pitt” or not. It alters my personal abilities and won’t change the point. And you still totally fail to grasp the point at all. Having the options to find sex “whenever and whereever” doesn’t mean you get laid three times day. You COULD be laid. Or maybe not you because your country hates humans, but that is the exception in civilized worlds. Given enough money you probably also could, as laws are made for the poor.
Also I never ever said love is non-existant. It’s just nowhere being easier to find than sex as there is no option to buy or otherwise squire it without the other person actually feeling the same. Two people feeling the same for each other is ultimately more rare then two people just finding each other attractive enough to fuck.
It’s so simple. From love, sex will most likely always follow. From sex, love COULD follow.
You can dance around my or your personal ability likeever you want, it doesn’t change the facts. Just because logical arguments don’t fit into your personal experience, won’t change them.
Try visiting some of our train stations. You’ll have to actually fight off people offering you a blowjob for 5 bucks. Even broke as fuck you could afford that. If one would be inclined to exploit drug junkies.
- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
Repeating myself here, but just because you seem to struggle with an absolute and universal fact, because you project yourself personally into a, as you weirdly stated, doesn’t make it less valid.
And why do keep sticking to rape. It’s one of many possibilities to get laid. By money, by time and effort, by accident, luck or even forced means. Just because YOU couldn’t AND also live in some theocratic hellhole where one couldn’t even buy it, doesn’t mean the guy next door couldn’t. Or the majority of the world. Some rare exceptions where multiple points combine to a negative, does not invalidate a general rule. The larger part of a bell-curve sure can, in whatever way. Easier for some, harder for others, but possible. Otherwise I would wonder why earth is so crowded with us humans.
Finding real romantic love though. Can’t buy it. And it’s also that one single thing that gets worse the more money you have. Be rich, end up alone. Or fake being poor until you do. Also, for the vast majority of the world, this commodity is ultimately harder to find.
BTW, here health insurance even pays for a hooker for disabled people, should they be unable otherwise to find sex. Regularly. At it is a mental health issue. And there are even specially hired prostitutes of both sexes just for that. And if you’re too poor, then state pays for insurance and still get the hookers. So not even poor, ugly, disabled and being tiny would stop you. Love though, probably chances converge to zero.

- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
Brothels are illegal in my country.
Wow, in what horrible dark age country do you live? This is the oldest trade on earth, and those are incredibly helpful and needed in a society.
all your other points
You really don’t get it. It has nothing to do with my life, my experiences or whatever. It’s just the simple logic that getting just sex is ultimately easier than getting love. It might be harder (no pun intended) depending on your laws, your own morals or your net-worth, but still way easier to find someone that loves you.
The external factors aren’t important. You might be ugly and poor and whatever, which would make tinder (or whatever people use nowadays) impossible. But even more difficult would finding love be. Of course one shouldn’t rape, obviously in a civilized society, but one still TECHNICALLY could. But there’s nothing in the world you could do to make someone love you, no matter how willing you’re to do anything.
Again, this is absolutely not about personal experience, and has nothing to do with that.
By contrast I live in a blessed world of readily available affection from my friends (who I chose), surrounded by family that love me
That is not really the same kind of love you’re talking about. Important too, but totally different. I, for example, have no family (except my wife) and there’s nothing I could do to get one.

Better 15 hours of fun than 70 dragged hours of fun mixed with time-stretchers. But denuvo? yes, I’ll pass too and take the cracked one maybe.
- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
I guess you deliberately want to misunderstand me. And I don’t even get why.
Love is something rare, where two souls need find each other.
Sex, I could go to the next brothel and have it 10 times a day. Or go on tinder and let golddiggers have it. If you’re a decently attractive woman, you’ll get it for free on tinder in 5 minutes. Or in the next bar or wherever. I can also walk around asking anyone until I’m lucky.
So that’s a simple COULD. Love you cannot simply get.
Maybe my point was badly phrased, I dunno. But insulting you surely wasn’t my goal.
- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
OK, if you are technically unable to do the act. Which now is lightyears away from my point 😁
- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
Why? The pure technical ability to do so is there. Doesn’t mean you should or would. Besides that wasn’t even remotely my initial point.
- Comment on Pride month 1 week ago:
OK, u just took it verbatim. You are able to fuck anyone anywhere. They might not mirror that desire to do so and the place might not be made for it. But you COULD.

What is wrong with genuine affection? The least of us are that lucky. Sex you can have with everyone and get it everywhere. You can even buy it, if you want. But love and affection is a rare commodity you can’t enforce or buy or…

Hehe, yeah exactly that. What I observed in the last 40yrs is that the more people earn, the more they spend. Mostly just to show off how not-poor they are to people they don’t really care about. Got a raise of 1000,-? And 1005,- were pushed to “life-style”. Never really got it. If you have what you need, why more?
If I would raise an empty cup in the streets, people would probably throw cash in it :-)
I mean, enjoy life as much as possible, but you don’t need to do that in a poser-car, poser-house or by buying fancy poser-clothes (which still are made with slave-labour). I do spend a lot in my hobbies, i admit that. But I’m not going nuts here and it’s my passion…
To be fair, growing up nowadays and drowning in stupid social media that 24/7 tells you how poor you are, no matter how rich you actually are, probably leaves a mark.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I was lucky to be born at the right time, self-employed directly outta school in the booming IT-market. That and no desire to live large. I’m a simple and horribly cheap ass. So no big secret, just luck and a passion for my hobby at the right time. It was also work, but…different.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Even a “dream job” is just a job that you hate the least. It might even bring some joy here and there, but in the end you’re still on a leash. I tried working, never for long. Then I gave up on that and retired. Like 25yrs ago or so.
But what’s the problem with exactly this answer to this stupid “what is your dream job?”? It’s an honest and good answer. Except maybe in a job-interview 😁
