- Comment on How can we convince Trump voters to NOT vote for Trump (or Vance) in the 2026 midterms and the 2028 election? 2 hours ago:
Sometimes “man” is more of an exclamation than a term of address.
I’ve noticed kids are seemingly using “bruh” this way, funnily enough

Convince them to stay home because the election is a foregone conclusion
- Comment on Do these murderers or mass shooters or hostage takers do they actually commit suicide more often than not? Or does a cop take a good shot and blame the offender as suicide? I would do the latter 2 days ago:
They probably do take credit for their “wonderful” handling of the situation.
They didn’t have an easy shot on the guy, and were to afraid to go get one.
I mean, I would be too. But that’s why I didn’t sign up for a “serve and protect” job.
- Comment on Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older? 3 days ago:
You can still be overly respectful to the teachers – I’m sure they appreciate it!
(Especially when there are parents who seem to treat the teachers as retail workers…)

“Quick! A giant meteor is heading for our planet! Collision is expected in less than a week!”

- Comment on Someone, I'm thinking with multiple accounts, is downvoting EVERY comment I make. Mildly aggravating, mostly sad for someone like that. Can I find out who and just block them? 1 week ago:
I think the point is that she was a child rapist, not necessarily a pedophile.
Some child rapists rape children because of the power imbalance etc., not necessarily put of physical, sexual, or romantic attraction.
- Comment on Is there a point we can track down when we stopped caring about doctors, nurses, teacher, etc? And thought it was a great idea to pay atheletes millions and screw everyone else? 3 weeks ago:
I understand the skepticism on society’s priorities.
Athletes are literally 1-in-a-million individuals. They bring in crazy amounts of money from people who want to watch them play.
The real problem is that there are so many people who are willing to pay hundreds of dollars to watch a sports game, but not willing to see teachers properly compensates (in my opinion). Because athletes getting a big share of the pie that they’re bringing in sounds fair to me. The question is why people have that much pie to give them, and not as much pie to give to schools.

Where I live, we’ve been treating…
- Nurses very poorly. Underpaying and overworking them, while not training enough new ones.
- Family Doctors (aka. GPs) very poorly by removing the kinds of services they’re allowed to provide, increasing expenses without increasing compensation, and again, not training enough new ones.
Doctors are paid well, but they also have incredibly high expenses (and often high student debt, too).

Damn. One month, you find out you have cancer. Next month, you’re dead.
- Comment on Why do all text LLMs, no matter how censored they are or what company made them, all have the same quirks and use the slop names and expressions? 2 months ago:
Given that they’re using stack overflow, I’m guessing they also have “professionals who have more time than work to do at work”
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
with the exception of two brief situationships I was in cus women suck.
This is part of the problem. You’re blaming an entire gender because you ended up in situationships.
Even if those two women are 100% at fault, you’re not just blaming women, but saying that all women “suck”.
women don’t wanna be talked to for more than small talk
This is part of the problem. Why are you talking “to” women and not “with” them? What do these two different phrases (“talking to” and “talking with”) look like? There’s a huge difference.
Plus getting out is anxiety provoking
This is part of the problem. It’s natural for some people to have anxiety. If you have the means, see if this can be treated by a specialist.

- Comment on More Online CO-OP Games should have option to pause 3 months ago:
- Give all players a pause limit. A certain number of minutes per game and per pause, and a number of pauses. Players can’t pause anymore after going over their time limit or pause count limit. The game resumes after a pause’s time limit is reached.
- Pausing should happen after a delay of a certain number of seconds. So a player hits pause, countdown starts before actually pausing.
- Resuming from a pause also has a timer.
- Players’ pause stats are retained. People who take more pauses or spend more time pausing the game get matched with each other.

Most are at airports, but it’s amazing to me that number one is a shopping mall in Canada… albeit Canada’s Texas.
The other non-airports were media-related amusement parks (mostly Disney)

- Comment on Borderlands 4 Dev Gearbox Asks PC Gamers to Wait 15 Minutes for Shaders to Compile in the Background While Playing After Reports Indicate Recent Update Causes Stuttering - IGN 3 months ago:
No wonder the last guy thought we got disconnected 30s in after I told him I was unplugging my router.
“Sir? Are you still there?”
“Oh, yes. I was just waiting with the router unplugged.”
“Oh. Well… it’s probably fine now.”
“But it’s only been like 30 seconds.”
"Oh, has it? Well…uh, ok I guess.

There was probably some peak, but I don’t think games as a whole every “just worked”.
If it wasn’t a problem with the game, it was a problem with your hardware.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 3 months ago:
Notice I wrote in present tense
Immediately after saying “some history is in order”.
Square Enix didn’t give us the original Final Fantasy nor the original Dragon Quest. They give us those games now. But writing as if they were always one company feels like rewriting history.
- Comment on Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, a JRPG, just got released on Steam—and this is a big deal because this game is to PC what Final Fantasy VII was to PlayStation. 3 months ago:
Some history is in order. The two most influential JRPG developers are Square Enix and Nihon Falcom. Square Enix gave us Dragon Quest and Final Fantasy.
Uhh… credibility lost. They’re saying history is in order and they immediately begin by rewriting history.
Squaresoft and Enix were two different companies for decades, particularly when they were giving us Final Fantasy and Dragon Quest.
- Comment on Today’s game consoles are historically overpriced 4 months ago:
If you mean games, yes.
If you mean consoles (like the post suggests), then what they’re saying is that your strategy won’t work…at least if you want to buy them new.

Oh, interesting! Is parental consent legally required for certain ages to date in some places?
- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 4 months ago:
I was asking if they thought that people under 18 shouldn’t date.
15 and 16 pair work by the 1/2 + 7 rule, but not by “Anything goes 18+” rule

- Comment on Why do i tip my bartender $2 per drink and per bar food order but 20% when I order food from a waitress? Am I tipping wrong? 5 months ago:
I thought bar food is tipped the same as restaurant food.
Tipping a dollar a drink is standard because
- It’s easy
… that’s really it. No thinking, no math, etc. which is important when you’re drinking.
Also, you too per drink so the bartender knows you tip right from the start.
- Comment on Why people say they have a "boy cat" or a "girl cat" but when the cat grows up, they don't call is a "man cat" or "woman cat"? 5 months ago:
Because they get neutered/spayed
- Comment on what are in you're top 3 favourite games of all time? 5 months ago:
Your title says “What are in you are top 3 favourite games of all time”.
You were thinking of “your”, which is possessive. “You’re” is a contraction of “you” and “are”; the apostrophe is a hint there.
