- Comment on The new Hulu Subscriber agreement just dropped - Don't like ads too bad. 2 weeks ago:
It’s not just live streams. On-demand of Comcast networks will have ads because it’s fucking Comcast and they are gonna force you to watch them as much as possible. At least you can use the live tv dvr feature to record the things you want and skip commercials then.
Comcast continues providing ample evidence as to why they are one of the most hated companies in the US. They used to be THE most hated company, but the founder of an extremely popular battery company, that also makes cars, recently outed himself as a mask-off nazi, so Comcast is gonna have to step it up to keep their hold on #1. I imagine it’s only a matter of time before all ICE vehicles have vinyl wraps on them that boast “Powered by Comcast”, and

Um… The gaming industry did much, MUCH better before it was filled with

T is likely for “time”. Abusers will always try to control how you spend your time.
- Comment on What are your favorite games for killing nazis? 3 weeks ago:
Not the same. That’s like killing the actors who played nazis in movies.
- Comment on What are your favorite games for killing nazis? 3 weeks ago:
No obsession. It’s just that they’re trying to gain power again, and the whole world already slapped them down for it. As a pacifist, it’s cathartic for me to destroy them digitally while we are still at the point where it’s unnecessary for the global masses to take up arms against them once again.

It’s not fun if the nazis can’t feel it.

It’s a tough question, to be sure. I mean, we can look through the book for hints about it here and there, but I think the best way is to look at the followers who are closest to him. That said… Pedophile. Jesus was definitely a pedophile.
- Comment on And because you deserve it, here's one from the top shelf 1 month ago:
Ok, this is anecdotal for certain, but an honest and lived experience.
I’ve developed osteoarthritis in various parts of my body as I aged, my wife has rheumatoid arthritis. She takes some non-opioid prescription meds (with unfortunate long-term effects) for it, but they’re anti-inflammatories and don’t do much for the base pain. I introduced her to CBD oils, ointments, salves, and tinctures. She now takes an eye dropper of tincture every night before bed which allows her to sleep better, and has a variety of tropicals (lotion, gel, roll-on, stick (like deodorant)) for localized treatment and flare ups in both trees and muscle tension. She also does not like being high at all, so she gets hemp-based products online (Lazerus Naturals, for the curious).
On my end, I enjoy the high as (with a sativa) it helps me to focus and get things done (undiagnosed ADD checking in) as well as killing the pain in my body. I’ve also found that the THC component gives a boost to the pain-‘killing’ effect, but that could just be the drugs talking.
Marijuana aside, I’ve also learned the benefits of Turmeric for arthritis pain. There are days I forget to take Turmeric and am soon reminded when the invisible gremlins start stabbing my hands in the evening. See if you can get her to add that to her supplements and she might get a bit more relief.
I’m a skeptic and scientist by nature, and endured various days of pain just to make sure the stuff I am taking is actually doing something, so maybe I can save someone else the hassle. Keep in mind that some things are a cumulative effect, meaning you’ll need to take them for a few days to really propagate through the system for best effect.
Best of luck!

(If your experience is chronic pain, well…)
And there’s the rub. I don’t want to be a wake-n-bake kind of person, but I also don’t walk fully upright until I’ve had a hit or two, and using my hands for anything requiring dexterity and/or strength means I’ll have invisible gremlins stabbing my knuckles with their tiny, invisible knives the rest of the day and night. “Microdosing” through the day allows me to get shit done when my body doesn’t want to cooperate.
- Comment on I'm seriously proud of this 1 month ago:
I have been using SwiftKey for years and have been very happy with it. Spacebar swipe cursor movement included (but maybe in a setting).

If you have any parking nuisances, throw a handful of mealworm on their car at night. The early bird will get the worm, and the car will be covered in bird shit.
- Comment on Is a Quest 3 really worth it? 2 months ago:
If you haven’t tried No Man’s Sky in VR, you’re really missing out. I have about 800 hours in it (90% in VR) and still go back to it day 1 if a new Expedition.
Walkabout Mini golf is a must-have.
Myst and Riven are fantastic in VR.
Star Wars Squadrons, Project Wingman, MS Flight Simulator… Pretty much any flying game with a HOTAS setup is great in VR.
Same can be said for racing games with a wheel setup.
Alyx is truly fabulous, but there are plenty of other great VR experiences to be had.
And that’s not even including what’s available with the VR injection mods. Cyberpunk in VR is pretty awesome, even with the jank that comes with playing a pancake game in VR.

Saw a thing once, maybe Mythbusters, that showed how beavers are attracted to the sound of running water and want to stop it. In the show, they got the beaver to dam a speaker by playing river/stream noises through it.

- Comment on I'm going to try not to swear when you're around. Is this a good apology to a coworker? 3 months ago:
Right? How about this: I’ll keep the swearing to a minimum if you remove all the religious bobbles from your desk and stop talking about God. You don’t have a monopoly on being offended, and respect goes both ways.

- Comment on I hate how anything without "world" in its name is just about the US 4 months ago:
I hear you and am guilty of it myself. I feel like it’s due to the anonymous nature of the internet. I think everyone immediately falls into the category of “peer” before putting a touch more thought into who the actual person (bot/ai) is that wrote the reply. Add that to the fact that most Americans see themselves (as a country) as the king of the world.
Maybe you can try typing with an accent, but I think that’d probably just be seen as a racist American.
