I only mention colors, not styles.

“These ARE the important questions, though based on your reaction I don’t believe you are the employer to value a skilled employee.”
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 4 days ago:
Your lack of sorting makes it look worse than it is.
Just looking at the buttons, they clearly have design documents, green is only used on buttons dealing with money.
Blue buttons primarily deals with social interactions or midrange store tasks
Grey buttons are for the local client

Is why wearing latex or vinyl?
I’d be concerned about the material possibly melting and sticking to the skin, or in the worst case, catching fire.
- Comment on How many games do you manage to play at the same time? 2 weeks ago:
One.
If I try to play mutiple at the same time I have found that when I alt+tab from one to the over, my progress in the first one grinds to a halt
- Comment on what unbiased media sources do you use? 2 weeks ago:
None, there is no unbiased news source in existance.
That being said, I mainly use the government’s TV station’s (SVT) news feed and one of our major daily news papers (DN) feed to get a general idea of what is going on, they tend to be decently accurate.
- Comment on All passengers will be forced to use digital boarding passes by 2030, predicts Riyadh Air boss 2 weeks ago:
Digital boarding passes, so far they are just a QR code, what added benefit does forcing them to be displayed on a mobile phone rather than on paper bring?
- Comment on Next-gen EV batteries could last decades, researchers show the potential of single-crystal electrode tech | The battery lifespan could be around 20,000 cycles or 8 million kilometers 2 weeks ago:
“Could”
Yawn, tell me when you have a working proof of concept, and I mean when you have a battery with similar ranges as today but can last for decades of charge/discharge cycles.
Then I am interested.
- Comment on There's a new toll I'll have to pay to drive anywhere. 2 weeks ago:
“Starving children in Africa”
That is a such a classic argument, too bad it is completely idiotic.
A starving child in Africa would not be helped by sending our food scraps to them, the food would spoil and harm them instead. If the food did make it to Africa without spoiling, it would rightfully be rejected, as an insult to the government and people of these nations.
But let’s say that the food didn’t spoil and was accepted, it would ruin the local economy. The food would be cheaper than the locally available food, driving farmers out of business, increasing the dependency on food scraps.
Never make that argument in this context, it just shows how dumb you are.

Sigh, mass transit will benefit you as well, it means that mote people will use it rather than taking the car, thus reducing traffic in general.
Taxes are also often used to change behaviors in the population, by adding taxes like these, cities have been known to try and reduce pollution and congestion making the area less harmful.
TL;DR: Congestion charges are annoying, but in the end will benefit you as well.
- Comment on the aliens monitoring our planet know that we are idiots 3 weeks ago:
Especially hyperintelligent civilizations would recognize the acchivement, even if it isn’t on their level
- Comment on the aliens monitoring our planet know that we are idiots 3 weeks ago:
No, celebration of a completed orbit around our star does not mean we are idiots.
It means that we have managed to determine how long an orbit around the star takes, a significant scientific discovery.
- Comment on Duh 3 weeks ago:
The way I see it, love can blossom from infatuation, but a relationship can’t survive on infatuation alone.
- Comment on Duh 3 weeks ago:
The way I have had it explained is:
Infatuation is psychosis
Love is reason
Which makes a lot of sense to me.
- Comment on Ex-Starfield dev dubs RPG’s design the “antithesis” of Fallout 4, admitting getting “lost” within the huge sci-fi game 3 weeks ago:
That is a very fair point that I didn’t consider
- Comment on Ex-Starfield dev dubs RPG’s design the “antithesis” of Fallout 4, admitting getting “lost” within the huge sci-fi game 3 weeks ago:
Seems odd to claim that an action game with RPG elements is the complete opposite of the RPG genre itself…
But eh, it is their oppinion, not fact.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I never let it spiral out of control, but I did let ti take all of my lessiure money for a year or two, not fun.
But educational.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 4 weeks ago:
I got suckered into playing 800+ hours of GTA Online and paying thousands of SEK for shark cards over a year or two before I realized what a terrible game it is.
I was addicted to it, and paid money every month to buy shark cards.
When my work situation improved however, I took a few steps back and realized that I had wasted a lot of money on it and that I was only chasing the dragon that was just out of reach, kept away from me by carefully crafted mental mechanics of the game.
I was disgusted and refused to participate further.
I uninstalled it right away and have never looked back.

- Comment on Borderlands 4 narrative director hints at dialling back the toilet humour – WGB 4 weeks ago:
I don’t remember a lot of toilet humor in B1, B2 or BTPS, it was a very childish humor with SOME toilet humor, I think just moving back to the sarcastic/frustrated slightly immature humor of B2 would do wonders for the series.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 narrative director hints at dialling back the toilet humour – WGB 4 weeks ago:
I have basically just played through B3 after grinding B1, B2 and BTPS, and the humour takes an absolute nosedive in B3.
Also B3’s UI is terrible
- Comment on Borderlands 4 narrative director hints at dialling back the toilet humour – WGB 4 weeks ago:
Borderlands 1 was a bit too slow both with the gameplay and the humor, this is obviously understandable due to it being the first game.
Borderlands 2 had humor that was really, really perfectly on the edge, the story was a classic freedom fighter story set in a bizarre sarcastic universe.
Borderlands TPS kept going with the same type of humor that B2 had but added a lot of fun backstory to Jack and the loaders/constructors.
Borderlands 3 took it too far with the toilet humor, and the whole social media storyline. At times it felt as if I was acting out a scene rather than playing a hero. Oh and I absolutely hated Vaughn.

Luckily waste storage is a solved peoblem.
Drill hole in bedrock, put waste in hole, backfill with clay.
- Comment on nuclear 5 weeks ago:
Most of our power generations comes from “make water hot, hot water boils into steam, steam spins magnet”
Nuclear power is just a different source of heat.
