If you must use Spotify, you could at least not link to it.

I went through so much bullshit, it’s the last guilty pleasure I have in this world. I deserve at least that.

Fantastic Four 588. The Human Torch was killed by Annihilus one issue prior, so Ben is mourning.
- Comment on Google will throttle your Pixel 10's battery, and there's nothing you can do about it 5 weeks ago:
If only. My wife’s phone is affected by a Google battery recall. You basically get $50 of shut-up money and get to live with a software update that nerfs your phone to an almost unusable state, or you can try and have a local, approved repair shop replace the faulty battery.
We’re living in a large city, there is exactly one approved store available. You can’t contact them by email, no one has picked up the phone in weeks. She is close taking the $50.

Even having a funny and weird relationship with my mother, this would be suuuuper cringe. And inappropriate.

What? We’re not talking about death here, what kind of a reply is that? We’re talking about making a decision at a very young age that might have irreversible consequences, a decision many 20yos are simply ill equipped to make, in particular, when alternatives exist.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
No, they’re not always reversible. You can opt for one that isn’t, and even if you decide to go for it, it might simply not work.

I’ve had a vasectomy. Give it a few years, 22 might be a bit young.

It actually does, if you zoom in closely.

If my limbs would operate using hydraulics, I’d love for my dead body to be repurposed like that. Mount my carcass on a mobile platform and have me grab things from the top shelf while I shed flakes of decaying flesh, constantly surrounded by the scent of rancid fat and formaldehyde. Give me purpose beyond death.

Yeah, please don’t get your health information (aka half-truths) from social media. Start with an easily accessible source, e. g.

… and if necessary, research from there.

I mean, it’s Vinegar Syndrome. They should be doing exactly that.

I’d pay extra for that
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 3 months ago:
Ah shit. I swear to god, this just happened to me. I came to. the comments, confused why a trailer for Outer Wilds 2 would be age-restricted.
Ugh.
But then again, you cleared up my confusion, so I guess. there’s that.
- Comment on Anon reads between the lines 3 months ago:
- Quiet comes into frame, PoV happens to focus on the bucket so the first thing that to end up in the center are her boobs
- Quiet leaves, someone thought the player needed a power zoom on her ass and added a matching sound to it
- They made her hum and dance in a jail cell, while randos in the background mumble *Oh, she’s a hot girl, what I wouldn’t do… *
Honestly, the zoom gets me the most. Why was that added? How do you get away with something like that?

In the same vein, I’d like to remind people that feminism is also for men.
As a start, I think bell hooks’ The Will to Change can be a good intro.

… and you could easily fix the whole situation by having the shed run a male extension cord out that could be plugged into the generator.
It would also be infinitely more whimsical, since it’d make the shed look like a little appliance with its own chord. Or paint everything and call it a tail, the possibilities are endless.
“Well, let me just plug in the shed real quick”
- Comment on Grieve with me 4 months ago:
They’re absolutely right, that is the cause 85% of the time. Make sure to get a non-conductive pick made out of plastic or wood (e. g. literally a toothpick) and remove the dust by circling around the little protrusion, then clean the rounded corners with a little hooking motion.
- Comment on Tekken 8 lead has been trying to contact Waffle House for a collaboration for the past year - to no avail 4 months ago:
When asked what location fans wanted as a fighting stage, one very popular answer was Waffle House. Context: if you crash at WH after a long night out, you’re guaranteed to witness some drunken fighting.
Man, I’d love a Waffle House stage.

- Comment on ggplot2 is love. ggplot2 is life. 5 months ago:
Once you have figured it out, it’s actually a nice workflow. Don’t get me wrong, when I’m not publishing a paper, I quickly forget all commands, my whole setup etc. and start from scratch, cursing a lot and retracing my steps in the. history, basically re-learning the framework. I’d still never move away from ggplot2.

Honestly, as far as fresh takes on memes go, I loved that one quite a bit
- Comment on the lifestyle 10 months ago:
Plots are typical composed, and when writing a paper (I insert them mostly into TeX publications) I do find the quality of the resulting plot is just so much more refined.
Seaborn is indeed closer and was definitely inspired by ggplot2 in some areas, but IMHO, it’s still not 100% there visually. I’m very much a Python user and would love it to be, but when I’m, let’s say, publishing a book, I’d always go back to ggplot2 - when preparing a paper for a lab class, seaborn is probably fine.
- Comment on Git good, son 10 months ago:
Or they have the same issue as me, their phone keyboard randomly inserting periods all the time. I manually remove them most of the time, but when I’m agitated, I sometimes can’t be bothered.
This happens with several apps, e. g. www.reddit.com/r/Swiftkey/…/random_periods/
I didn’t particularly want to link to reddit, but I wasn’t able to quickly find e. g. an issue tracker.
- Comment on the lifestyle 10 months ago:
You’ll get used to it and it will only take a couple of minutes. And I honestly believe nothing comes close to ggplot2 in terms of quality, and I don’t use R for anything else.
- Comment on Honey 11 months ago:
honey bees are bad for pollinators
Hm? What do you mean?
From this paper:
A. mellifera appears to be the most important, single species of pollinator across the natural systems studied, owing to its wide distribution, generalist foraging behaviour and competence as a pollinator.

- Comment on Mona’s ‘Ladies Lounge’ wins court battle to exclude men from art-filled space 11 months ago:
Kirsha Kaechele is delightful. Unfortunately, I don’t know how much of her old Ayahuasca - consuming self is left, she mentioned herself she became a lot more conservative.
Still, she did a bunch of interesting projects: Eat the Problem, 24 Carrots, a rap themed gun buyback in New Orleans…
Now that I think of it, this post is mostly me reflecting what I think of her as an artist these days. I was having a hard time coming to terms with the fact that success in the art world often forces the artist to adapt and conform, and I could see some of that in her as well. I have to say though, she is probably doing a good job and I shouldn’t be complaining.
