- Comment on How often do guys have a haircut? 2 days ago:
Probably between 1-2 months for me.
- Comment on My Bank Recently Changed Their Interface to Move Money Between Accounts 1 week 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 week 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 1 month ago:
I do too. But I blame Reddit for that, not the users.
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 1 month 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 Feeling insecure about going to a 'girlie pop' concert as a 30 year old man, am i overthinking it? 1 month ago:
Take an edible and have a good time. No one cares.

Diablo 2, corpse explosion!
- 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. 1 month 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] 1 month 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.
- Comment on Families took safety into their own hands by painting yellow cross walks. Now, the city of Los Angeles is removing them. 1 month ago:
Signage is definitely important. You can’t just throw shit down on the pavement and have it be treated as a sign itself.
- Comment on Hand cranked and twisted 1 month ago:
Huh, now I’m wondering why I never wondered where the abbreviation came from.
- 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. 1 month ago:
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?

Guess my break is over then, how convenient!

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.
- 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. 1 month ago:
People don’t know how to use Usenet.
- Comment on Pretty woman stepping on you 2 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] 2 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] 2 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.
- Comment on Streaming Subscriptions May Get Tougher to Cancel 2 months ago:
Ah, fair! Didn’t think of that.
- Comment on Streaming Subscriptions May Get Tougher to Cancel 2 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? 2 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.
- Comment on My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased. 2 months ago:
Man I went to a very affluent school and no one gave a shit about what sneakers we had. Unless you had Heeley’s of course. ZOOM!
- Comment on Xbox is cancelling Rare's 'Everwild' and ZeniMax's new MMORPG IP as part of broader cuts — with 'Perfect Dark' impacted as well 2 months ago:
Yeah, Perfect Dark was awesome!
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 2 months ago:
ROFL so instead of taking me directly to these supposed job postings, you link me random Internet garbage that says they exist with the same credibility that you have. Which is none.
Meanwhile friends of mine have protested and not gotten paid anything. But they are probably Illuminati.
Mount Rushmore was a cover up.
- Comment on Why does it feel like protesting isn't as "extreme" as it used to be? 2 months ago:
Where do I get one of these paid protest jobs? Do I need to be on the Illuminati Newsletter?
Fifty Five Iron Penned
- Comment on [US] How do I find and vote for primaries and local positions in my state? 2 months ago:
Another idea to add to the pile, Google your county’s “board of elections” and I think you’ll probably find some resources and where the finalized ballots will be ahead of the election date.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Or even overcompensating in the other direction in order to avoid the appearance of favoritism.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 2 months ago:
Get the vaccine. Best response.

If you remember to, please report back, more data is always good!

I did briefly mention that, yes, straws definitely help! I would recommend them.
