Duck uses Bing backend, which is shit at the best of times.
Everyone who actually uses Kagi swears by it, and I am on the brink of actually trying it. - Comment on Happy Birthday guys, gals, and other pals! 4 days ago:
The economies of every country in the world is tied directly or indirectly to the American economy.
And that’s undeniably a bad thing. And since US will never allow anything else as long as they’re perceived as strong, maybe their collapse will be the only path forward.
The same was said about EU and Russia before the war started, “everyone” was saying that EU depends on Russian oil so much, the second Russia stops selling, EU economy will collapse. And when it finally happened, it turned out to be a nothingburger.
It’s possible that this incredible American dependence is also a bunch of empty bolstering. - Comment on Videogames: Then and Now 1 week ago:
Not pictured: seven trillion indie games, half of which is the worst shit you’ve ever saw, the other half is your new obsession that you play so much it redefines your personality.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
The only recent aaa game that I’ve played was the new 007 one, and it took me a lot of finangling to make it run somewhat playable, but in the end I have found a set of settings where it works. But the process was long enough for me to believe that it’s probably the last aaa game I manage to play.
- Comment on Poll: Will you buy GTA 6 when it launches on your platform? 1 week ago:
I like gta series, was a huge fan since the very first one. Online is a cancer, but everything else I rather enjoyed.
However I suspect it will be very hefty, and I am absolutely sure my old computer wouldn’t be sufficient to run it even on low. And since ram isn’t made for people to buy anymore, I will never be able to afford an upgrade.
Therefore my answer is “I’ll never buy it even though I’m interested” - Comment on End of an era? 1 week ago:
You’re correct, but the existence of a physical disk is mainly irrelevant to this issue.
- Comment on End of an era? 1 week ago:
Can you? With an age of always online shit, can you really give a friend your disk, and they will be able to play, or will it tell you that the game is already registered to an account?
If it’s still not the case for some games, it’s not the lack of disks that finishes it. - Comment on End of an era? 1 week ago:
But that’s the point, your game is not on your disk! Your game is downloaded after you insert your disk. You can’t do it without an account. When they decide to take away your digital renting agreement, or when they decide to not support your game anymore, your disk becomes a piece of plastic that you can’t do shit about. You don’t own a game, you own a piece of plastic that has some private downloader on it.
Y’all talking like we’re in 1998 and the game can fit on a disk leaving room for developer’s commentary. - Comment on End of an era? 1 week ago:
I seriously don’t understand the “disk” thing. I could see how you want your game to be on a physical media so you don’t have to download it when you want to play, but games are so big you couldn’t do it for decades already, and having a disk is barely saves you any time anyway. Meanwhile it’s a waste of materials, it get scratched all the time, and if you lose it it’s gone.

You mean two years after they lost a war? Yeah, very care-free
- Comment on get quacked idiot! 1 week ago:
You got triggered by their comment and spent more time signaling how much you don’t care but also very disagree. And since every occusation is a confession with the likes of you, I can only assume you wish your ego to be properly masturbated.
The difference is, the original commenter commented in the comment section their (objectively correct) opinion, and moved on. And you stuck in this psychosexual limbo arguing with people who’re not real. - Comment on get quacked idiot! 1 week ago:
At least they’re signaling virtue. Whatever the fuck you’re signaling is actually worse.

Validity of numbers aside, I don’t really want to dig into the statistics, AC eats a lot of energy, and most of the energy in US is dirty. So by allegedly not slaughtering people in the US, US massacring people outside of the US by propagating climate change and creating the conditions for this hell in the first place.
- Comment on I love houses that trap heat! /s 2 weeks ago:
The problem now, is that it’s hot at nights. You open windows at night, and let 29 degree air in, and there is nothing to cool it down.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
The problem is, and the reason I got this angry, is that when you discovered something you didn’t understand, instead of actually trying to learn, you created a narrative, devised the idea, and started this conspiratorial stuff, spreading it to a bunch of gullible idiots. And when you got feedback on that, you got defensive, and now it’s apparently my job to explain you everything, and you’re absolved of everything.
That’s exactly how conspiracy theories start and propagate. That’s exactly the mindset that is so dangerous and so deadly.
I’m not gonna explain you why you’re wrong, because I want you to learn how to look for the information on the internet, and I want you (and everyone really) to maybe get into a habit of searching for the info on stuff you don’t know, before formulating theories. - Comment on Need to yak?

Everyone does. Perfect age for a war, brain is practically non-developed, but body pretty much is. Closest thing to a mindless drone that we can get without lobotomy, just with some propaganda.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 2 weeks ago:
Man, knowing nothing about what you’re talking about and being confidently paranoid is an amazing way to actually miss the ways the corpos are fucking you.
It’s too complicated to even begin to describe why what you’re saying is embarrassingly wrong, and that’s actually ok, not knowing how your phone works is not something against you, being confidently incorrect and not even wanting to learn is. - Comment on I mean does anybody really know how to play Chess? 2 weeks ago:
Chess isn’t actually a logic game or a smarts game, it’s a memory game. If you’re a computer or one of those 15-people-per-generation chess brains, then yeah, you probably can logic your way into thinking enough moves ahead. If not, your only option is to remember a bunch of different plays and learn how to recognise and execute the preditermined strategies. If you try to do it your way, you will be stuck losing to a bad computer or chess club kids online
- Comment on Supermarkets destroy food if it doesn't sell. We can always feed the world. We just don't. 2 weeks ago:
It’s two different problems. We started seeing animals as beings fairly recently, and the movement to actually not make them suffer is fairly new. In previous generations the reason we didn’t do it properly was mainly “we don’t want to”, now enough of us do want it, and profit driven reality prevents it.
- Comment on average physics student vs POTUS 47 3 weeks ago:
You’re doing the same bullshit that a bunch of idiots did all over media for years, when you hear trump or his ilk talking shit out of their ass, you immediately go “but if there was a sane normal person there what could they say”, and report on that, and this makes it as if there was a normal person there talking. It’s a sanewashing and it is a problem.
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 4 weeks ago:
Well, you aren’t dead yet, aren’t you. Means that wasn’t that deadly of a lava, so maybe try to jump instead of trying to convince everyone around that we’re already burned to crisps, so no point to even try. We aren’t, not yet, that’s demonstrable by the fact that we’re still talking about it.
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 4 weeks ago:
Unless you’re dead, you can at least try. Beats folding your arms and complaining that this jumping strategy pails in comparison with your superiour strategy of wishing really hard you could fly.

- Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe, maybe, if what you’re saying was true, and the rigid binary was trully covering 99% with the predicting power you’re claiming, maybe that would be useful. But it’s not 99%, it’s not rigid, it’s not binary, and it’s not predictive, really.
People with specific chromosome combination have specifics that are useful to think about in some context. People who produce cells related to giving birth are different from those who don’t, which is also a category. People who have dangly bits are different from people who’s bits are sucked in. Hormone patterns do wild shit which can also be categorised.
Picking and slicing those categories to somehow still come up with two sexes doesn’t add shit to this. Clinging to it as if it’s somehow important is not useful, and frankly weird. - Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 4 weeks ago:
We literally, definitionally made it all up. We had a “man” and “woman” before we knew anything about human bodies, we collectively invested in the idea of the human duality, and then every time we discovered anything that contradict that duality, we tried to cram more caveats into that just so we have this rigid categories, specifically two of them. Meanwhile the sole usefulness of the categories was that there are two of them and they are very well defined and have very specific characteristics, and can be used to predict something about a person.
The more we learn about human bodies, the less those categories make sense, to the point where having a sex as a category is as useful as having your eye colour as your defining characteristics. Even in this thread the sex was defined as “chromosomes and the gametes and stuffs”. Having it tied to the amount of Y chromosomes wasn’t useful even in the last century, let alone now.
No amount of deflection will save your old rigid shit you cling so much to in fear of needing to update your worldview. - Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 4 weeks ago:
The concept of biological sex relies heavily on it being a strict binary. Without this strict binary, it requires so many caveats and clarification to actually work, it quickly becomes unuseful neither in medical, nor in societal sense.
- Comment on Wait bro, what if?????? 4 weeks ago:
Significant proportion of people don’t fit into binary sex definition, however much you cut and define it, people have all sorts of crazy combinations. And if your strict binary definition doesn’t include all the subjects, it’s not strict, not binary, and signifies not a lot.

I don’t think multi billion dollars is enough to fight this behemoth. Especially when it has basically all the support of the corrupt government. It’s a suicide and everyone knows it.

Well, they’re not gaming charity, sure. I don’t think anybody expected them to sell their hardware at a loss.
