I’m also willing to bet that the blacksmith they are picturing looks very different from your average blacksmith.

That dude’s not even looking at the computer screen. I give even odds that what he’s looking at on his phone is boobs.
- Comment on I make games and this literally happened to me this morning 1 month ago:
Does the balance at least accumulate until you do hit the threshold, or is the money just gone?
- Comment on Interactive Entertainment 1 month ago:
For context, “No Name” is an actual brand.
- Comment on This should be the right address.... 2 months ago:
Well that would depend on exactly what type of experiments he’s doing.
- Comment on Burning Up 2 months ago:
“Intuitive” is a meaningless metric for a single scaled number. Whichever system you are used to will be the more “intuitive”.
Also, climate can play into which system feels more useful. Where I live, 100F occurs only rarely (and since air conditioning is almost ubiquitous, not something I’d bother looking out for), while 0C is an outdoor temperature that I do need to be aware of for half the year.
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 2 months ago:
No one will punish you for not returning the cart
My opinion on this is reason number 8735 why I will never, and should never, be in charge of a country.

I’m not up to speed on how US tax laws work. What does getting deemed a hobby entail?
- Comment on Emma Roberts says internet culture doomed Madame Web 4 months ago:
I watched that movie on an airplane last week, and it was fine to me. What was the internet’s problem with it?
- Comment on 🥲🥲🤡 4 months ago:
kids in FPS games razz me for speaking too formally.
Don’t worry about that one. It’s one of the few cases where the children are in fact wrong.
- Comment on Stay Mad 4 months ago:
Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.
- Comment on Well, it's officially over. Tom Hardy says George Miller’s "MAD MAX: FURY ROAD" prequel "THE WASTELAND" is no longer happening. 5 months ago:
This take is like being mad at supercars for not being practical daily drivers.
It’s a pure action movie. Why would you ever be expecting anything deep?
- Comment on How typical 5 months ago:
Here’s a thought: do electric cars count as automatic or the most manual cars possible? On the one hand, there’s no clutch or stick shift, but on the other hand, if you want to change gears, you have to disassemble the transmission and change out the gears.
- Comment on Lmao this one hurts 5 months ago:
What’s the pay at those regional schools and community colleges? Is it enough to cover massive student debt?
What research opportunities are there at those colleges? Could it be that teaching was just a necessary evil required for the job they actually want to do?
- Comment on U.S. to Stop Buying Russian Uranium, Cutting Cash to Moscow 6 months ago:
None. There’s other sources of uranium in the world.
- Comment on Don't Let Your Thoughts Wander 6 months ago:
There is no “they”. Manufacturers respond to whet people are buying, and try to predict where that trend will go. If that trend went towards different keyboard layouts, they’d do it. None of them have any actual vested interest in a given keyboard layout.
- Comment on Don't Let Your Thoughts Wander 6 months ago:
Yeah. It’s one of those things where while a different solution is technically better, the benefit doesn’t come close to outweighing the effort of changing for the overwhelming majority of people. And so the status quo remains.
- Comment on Don't Let Your Thoughts Wander 6 months ago:
I’d say it’s got less to do with making money off the status quo, and more to do with lack of money in any of the alternatives. Most people can’t type fast enough for extra layout efficiency to matter, and even fewer people care.
- Comment on A healthy life goal 6 months ago:
Nope. Those are the “purebred” ones. You know, the kind of purebred that actually means inbred to the point of barely being able to survive and yet somehow “worth” more.
- Comment on evangelism 6 months ago:
I think this pretty much applies to all fields. Everything looks complicated and hard to outside people, but once you get into the field, you realize that most people are just average.
- Comment on Blast from the past 6 months ago:
The joke really doesn’t work as well when neither the spelling nor the pronunciation match.
- Comment on Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2 7 months ago:
That’s what I do with all TV/Movie adaptations. Is so much easier to just sit back and enjoy when you aren’t constantly comparing it to something it’s not.
- Comment on A bad influence 7 months ago:
Wait, so me saying that Teams is not that bad relatively speaking is a toxic mindset? You do see the irony of flying handle at me to say that, right?
- Comment on A bad influence 7 months ago:
I’m talking software/firmware in general, not just chat clients/protocols. As I said, you seem to need some perspective.
- Comment on A bad influence 7 months ago:
Everything is relative. Teams is a shining beacon of competency when compared to a lot of the utter shit software and firmware that I end up having to deal with.
- Comment on A bad influence 7 months ago:
Honestly, I think that anyone who is this angry about Microsoft products needs to spend some time working with the types of industrial software that makes the manufacturing world go round. Just to get some perspective on what truly God awful software actually looks like.
- Comment on Look for the warning signs 7 months ago:
One example does not prove a trend.
Plus, I’m just talking about perception, not the reality of the actual political leanings of every single Carhartt customer.
- Comment on Look for the warning signs 7 months ago:
Wait, Carhartt is a stereotype of the left wing now? I’ve always associated it with very blue collar, outdoors type work. The kinds of jobs that you wouldn’t typically associate with left wing extremism.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
I think one thing you and many other people misunderstand is that the image generation aspect of AI is a sideshow, both in use and in intent.
The ability to generate images from text based prompts is basically a side effect of the ability that they are actually spending billions on, which is object detection.
