I should mention that I speak from experience. I am not anti-drug, quite the opposite in fact. I’m just realistic about it, so the novel was completely unnecessary. I have ADHD so I’m not going to read that all anyway.
- Comment on Anon is terminally lonely 4 days ago:
It also won’t fix the problem, and also make you realize that you’ve never felt true happiness before in your life. And then you further realize that you never will again without drugs.

When did I say it looked photo real? Just that it looks like a realism filter

The unoptimized demonstration requires two 5090s, yes. Final version might be less demanding. Let me believe.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 1 week ago:
Exactly. This is a good use for AI.
- Comment on Do rich people get addicted to drugs? 1 week ago:
This story makes no sense. Why would a dealer front merchandise? The only time that ever happens in real life is if the dealer is male, the buyer is female, and they find the dealer finds them attractive.
Also, which drugs?
Lastly, it’s extremely unlikely that a low-level dealer is going to seek “revenge” on a customer. They’re usually not gang members; just regular everyday people like you and me who are desperate to make soke extra cash.
You need to spend more time in the real world before you write a story about things that happen out there.

Yeah in my situation I can usually tell if there’s a “potential leak” by the amount of water flooding the living room floor.
It’s the “cross your fingers and pray your house holds together” way of life I’m used to.

“Water sensor”? What is this device I’m too poor to know existed until just now?

SIM cards existed in the 90s, but I get your point.

Yes, you can go fishing with just your bare hands if you’re skilled enough.
- Comment on Anon observes a coworker 4 weeks ago:
I am also above average in heights and looks. A girl would follow me around in high school and harass me all the time while still trying to be my friend. In retrospect she was definitely crushing on me.

- Comment on Anon likes pizza 1 month ago:
I mean it’s kind of hard to beat unlimited toppings for $12 at the pizza place I go to, even if you do make everything from scratch.
- Comment on Anon is a nice guy 1 month ago:
I noticed this too. People like me a lot more when I roast them with confidence, and then laugh in their face about it instead of apologizing or saying “I’m just kidding”. You can get away with saying a lot if you say it with a smile. Of course this only works if the other person is smiling too. Be mean with a smile, but don’t burn too deep and attack their insecurities.
- Comment on Anon likes pizza 1 month ago:
Yeah seriously; I made pizza at home once, and the basic ingredients ended up costing more than getting pizza for takeout. So even though it was fun, I never attempted it again.
- Comment on Anon time travels 1 month ago:
Glad I’m not the only one who noticed this as a millennial. Back in the 80s, 90s, and up until around the mid 2000s, technology seemed to make major leaps and bounds into the future every two years. Things were constantly evolving; but ever since HDTV/gaming and Android/iOS hit the scene, it’s like tech stopped evolving and started iterating instead.
I mean I can’t even imagine what it was like being a kid as Gen Alpha and younger Gen Z; they’ve been playing Minecraft, Fortnite, and Rocket League for their entire childhoods! Meanwhile I saw the evolution from 8-bit to 16-bit to 3D to HD, to 4K HDR with Ray Tracing! Every 3-4 months I was playing the newest hot game! The only exception from my childhood was Counter-Strike, and even then, there’s been several CS titles released over the years.
Technology seems to have practically stopped evolving. It’s mind blowing when you think about it. I wonder when we’ll finally hit the limits of die shrinking and enter a technology dark age…?

I don’t. It never returns relevant results.
- Comment on He took it literally 2 months ago:
Yes this only works in the US. No matter what they say, the only words that should be coming out of your mouth is “I would like to speak with a lawyer”. And then close your mouth. Police in the US are allowed to lie to you to get the information you need, but asking for a lawyer right at the start shuts the entire conversation down before they even get a chance to do so. In the US.

Agreed. We congregate on platforms like this because we’re too weird for the normies in the real world.
- Comment on AI-Induced RAM Crunch Could Push Next PlayStation and Xbox Past 2028 2 months ago:
At this point I’m pretending that the game hasn’t even been announced yet.
I admit I bought an XBOX 360 for GTA V so I wouldn’t have to wait for PC, but TBF you could get a used 360 for about $60 because the next gen was just around the corner. I’m not seeing any PS5s selling for sntjerre near that cheap, so I won’t be playing GTA VI until it releases on PC this time around.

I want to smoke whatever stems you’ve been smoking cause the ones I’m getting don’t do shit.

The what’s the fucking problem? Just buy more RAM.
- Comment on How Are You Guys Handling This? 2 months ago:
Wasn’t Game Pass like $6/mo on PC not too long ago? Who’s paying $20 for this crap? The game selection isn’t even that good.
- Comment on The right FUCKING time to get TWO ram sticks damaged 2 months ago:
Well luckily you’re on the right generation of Intel that allows you to use DDR4. It’ll probably be cheaper to buy a new motherboard than it would be to buy DDR5

Confirmation bias. I’m not seeing this word anywhere except in your post.

Same. Been arguing with the realtor and wife with this? Who the fuck wants painted white cabinets over a nice stained wood? Whoever buys the house is going to have a hell of a time sanding it off.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
I’m having this argument with my realtor right now. She wants me to paint the entire house a boring white color, destroying all of its character; even ruin the wood cabinets by painting them too. I think she’s crazy but the wife is siding with her so I don’t know what the fuck to do. I don’t want to ruin my beautiful stained wood with ugly, white paint. I find it hard to believe that this is what actually sells.
- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 2 months ago:
I don’t think you can, but the game is so boring that I never played long enough to find out. That’s the point I’m making.
