- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 1 day ago:
That’s a good point too. Perhaps there’s more interstellar communication going on out there with the likes of Nova Core and other technologically advanced space faring groups that word would spread. Surely people would be curious as hell as to why half of life turned to dust randomly and go looking for answers.
I imagine many societies with no definitive answer would probably end up in religious hysteria.

If you want to try and rationalize it, I think he might say that the psychological scarring is necessary for all existing societies to change to more sustainable models, or risk another such culling in the future. Due to exponential growth of life, doubling resources, especially while societies continue to abuse those resources wouldn’t probably wouldn’t do anything long term (in his mind).
I am skeptical if such psychological damage can make enough long term inter generational impact, but hey it’s a theory.

Great job Twitch, real A+ quality work! Hope the entire company goes bankrupt.

Probably my favorite short story. This is another one of my favorites, definitely more obscure:

- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 3 weeks ago:
There’s a non insignificant amount of women dating only for free meals, and a lot of them expect men to pay for any number of friends. A lot of guys have opted for lower cost or zero cost first dates, like walks to screen for this.

They make sense if you play through enough titles. If you have a pass and only ever play one game, that’s probably a bad idea.
- Comment on What is the difference between pansexual, bisexual, and omnisexual? How do I know which one I am? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah I personally think Q is a catch-all and makes additional letters redundant. I don’t even know what the full acronym is anymore.
- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 1 month ago:
Probably between 1-2 months for me.
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 month ago:
Source then Destination is the usual convention in my mind. I probably wouldn’t make a mistake either way because I’m the type to punch shit into my calculator 3 times to make sure.
- Comment on Practice makes perfect 1 month ago:
I decided to play Overwatch until I could zen out and exude peace and cooperation. The idea that a game and the people playing it could make me irrationally angry made me rue my lack of self regulation. Took time and patience but I did get there! I think patience is the key word there. Patience isn’t a strength of mine with the ADHD and whatnot.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 2 months ago:
I do too. But I blame Reddit for that, not the users.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 2 months ago:
You may disagree with the net effect of the decision, but the decision is not hard to understand. The people that are doing it are placing a larger value on harming Reddit as a platform to hopefully force corrective change or encourage movement to competing platforms. You place a larger value on preserving knowledge.
You say you get pissed. My question is do you get pissed at the person who deleted it, or do you get pissed at Reddit for alienating it’s own users to the point of deleting their own comments?

- Comment on I just went onto reddit to a intrest subreddit which happens to be NSFW and i got this, fuck reddit im glad i quit it. 2 months ago:
I still kinda feel like every one of those examples was success based on accessibility and ease of use. Connectivity issues? Inaccessible. Facebook was cleaner and more user friendly. I never had a MySpace because it just seemed more daunting to me for whatever reason. Facebook seemed cleaner and standardized in ways, so to me, it felt more accessible.
Steam and Newell comes to mind, about how piracy is an accessibility and distribution problem.
And no, I didn’t mean to invalidate your stance because you didn’t develop something, more that I too am not a developer so I couldn’t speak to your point about how easy it would be to have Reddit be Usenet based and still have the same level of proliferation. My apologies for being unclear.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Yeah, I concur. When I learned I wasn’t allowed to speak there, I simply blocked it and moved on. They can have whatever rules they want. No one is obligated to be there.

Signage is definitely important. You can’t just throw shit down on the pavement and have it be treated as a sign itself.

Huh, now I’m wondering why I never wondered where the abbreviation came from.

I mean you were asking why people use Reddit, I answered. Accessibility. It’s easy to go to Reddit.com, some website you hear about in passing. Anytime large numbers of people flock to some platform is because they made it easy and attractive to use.
Like, couldn’t I just ask, why didn’t you create this Usenet based reddit killer yourself?

I miss the beard. I feel like I watch less since he shaved, but that just might be a coincidence as my ADHD makes me binge different content in spurts.

People don’t know how to use Usenet.
- Comment on Pretty woman stepping on you 3 months ago:
The funny thing is I’d prefer the stepping, and not in a sexual way. My back always hurts and a good walk across my back is always bliss.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
This is true, but I felt like I already learned that lesson shaving my face, ya know the classic chin up position to make the neck skin taught. But you right it’s far far more important down there. Way more room for error.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Maybe atypical, but I wouldn’t call it weird like it was wrong or something. Though I’m not entirely sure what there is to show. I feel like you kinda just have to get the hang of it yourself. The risks and fears are not irrational. No one wants to knick down there. But the concept is pretty straight forward.

Ah, fair! Didn’t think of that.
- Comment on Streaming Subscriptions May Get Tougher to Cancel 3 months ago:
If companies make cancelling a pain, you can use Privacy.com to make virtual cards that are easy to disable or limit as you see fit. Downside is it’s basically debit passthrough, so no credit card points or protection, but still can be handy situationally.
- Comment on Why don't Americans use electric kettles? 3 months ago:
I do. I have a nice temperature control pouring kettle. But I imagine that unless a person is into tea or a coffee enthusiast, most Americans are probably fine with a drip coffee machine and a microwave is fairly fast at boiling a mug too.
