  Good job Nintendo, you opened the $80 floodgate

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I ask where people are, so I have a general sense of time zone and I know when to expect to be able to message them when they’re awake

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to get a package to the right owner?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  OP may see it listed for $150-700, but who’s not to say it’s a $2 knock-off?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  MPV blows VLC out of the water when it comes to playback. After using it at work to sift through collectively hundreds of thousands of hours of video, waiting for VLC to do anything feels painful

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What else are they hiding from us?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can have as many dimensions as you want, just keep taking the integral

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aussie Fauna⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bacteria be like “You merely adopted the tetrodotoxin. I was born in it, molded by it…”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does a tiny motion tracking mouse thing exist at all?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly just get a new mouse and consider this a lesson to be a bit more careful next time. The amount of effort to fix your current mouse isn’t worth your time

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Found money. What do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Put it towards rent, shit’s insane these days

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does Google scan yt videos to know what products appear in them?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Fingerprinting. If they don’t have a cookie, they’ll link other information that they have to figure out with pretty decent accuracy who you are

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP are interested in making a SteamOS handheld as the Windows experience sucks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Y’all act like this wasn’t the plan all along

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's friend is Buddhist⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  OP didn’t mean the cost of going there, they meant still paying the bills while going to the forest instead of work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re a fantastic father. I wish your family the best of luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically, how feasible is it to 100% boycott a massive corporation (such as Amazon) for an extended period of time?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Be careful about ebay, a lot of sellers just drop ship from Amazon

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why most countries are struggling to shut down 2G⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I bought a used car that was made in 2004. It doesn’t even have aux in or traction control, let alone 4g…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The ghosting was mutual, I couldn’t show my face there again (metaphorically)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I literally had a panic attack and ran out of the room during a phone interview once

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pokémon games have become consistently ugly, and it's alright to wish they weren't⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  New pokemon games are neither so that doesn’t really work

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there any non capitalistic technology companies still around?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If I ask my manager or my director a question or challenge their thought process I get called into a 1 on 1 meeting where I’m told I’m a great asset to the team but me asking questions of them in a team setting sets a bad example

  This isn’t on you. If you manager’s skin is so thin that they can’t take some critical thinking thrown at them, then they shouldn’t be a manager. Though if you’re doing it all the time it’s probably very annoying. If they’re doing some self-destructive braindead company decisions, then just roll your eyes and don’t say anything while waiting for their comeuppance to bite them in the ass. You don’t have to kiss the ring but you don’t have to be a nuisance either.

  So I guess my question if any is are there still companies that exist in the USA or outside that still give a fuck about what they’re doing and not just inflate that companies value so it can be sold or keep the stock price going up.

  Maybe a small business with decent core values. They are very rare though, and are liable to be eaten alive by a change in management. So basically no.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s the difference between pansexuality and bisexuality?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Using labels for attraction and gender is a way to bring people closer together and share communities and issues. It’s limited to dating, though obviously it helps to find people who fit each other’s attraction. “Oh you’re pan? That’s awesome, I’m gay and this is my boyfriend!” / “I heard Stacy is single, let’s hook her up with Jane, tee hee” / “Does anyone know where I can find a gender-neutral restroom at the airport?”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I stop laughing at stupid shit all the time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Inside you are two wolves. You’re at a furry convention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is OCR for handwritten content still that bad?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the dotted paper might be confusing the OCR. I’m curious if you 'shop out the dots, will the OCR have a better time?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google's slow Chrome Extension reforms anger developers • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Why do you even bother replying if you’re going to be like this? So you can have the last word?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will online only "Device Activation" become the norm for every device in the future? / Will everything require an app in the future?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good luck speaking to the general manager when you’re not buying anything, the staff will laugh you out the door

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the KKK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because 35-36 explains the metaphor in 34

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the KKK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now you’re putting words in my mouth. You’re arguing against the wrong person dude, chill

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon questions the KKK⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh come on, I can see from a mile away that’s it’s a metaphor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Sputnik moment’: $1tn wiped off US stocks after Chinese firm unveils AI chatbot⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can write off hardware purchases, paying for skilled devs is like pulling teeth

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨First Look at Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That didn’t look like mk8 though? The character style looked different, Mario looked more like Wonder than Odyssey. His cart was proportioned taller and skinnier than mk8 carts. The race track isn’t one seen in mk8 either
