  I don’t have an answer to any of your questions and I don’t think many others will either. It seems like one of those things that you look back at with the clarity of hindsight in order to map things out.

  What’s sad is that $5 parking is a killer deal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*?⁩ ⁨⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s also just the denial phase.

  As evidenced in The Big Short when it was very clear to banks and regulators that the whole mortgage shell game was falling apart and they all refused to act on it.

  to assist in kidnapping and murdering women and dissidents around the world?

  Gotta catch 'em all. Pokémon!

  The plot is right in the catch phrase.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean it’s very obviously speculation because nobody has a crystal ball to see the outcome of decisions that never happened. It’s just an interesting thought experiment and something to ponder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah he’s like the very obvious and prominant pus-filled boil on a body riddled with disease. He isn’t the cause of the disease, just one of the symptoms.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If it’s any consolation, I also get this from Firefox when I leave tabs open for a long time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What happened to Pez?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  FunkoPops have zero practicality outside of collecting dust on your shelf and are just modern day beanie babies. Pez at least provides nutrition and a way to store loose candy in your pocket for today’s person on the go.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are headhunters or recruiters so laser focused on getting my resume?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Please also include your banking details so that we can get direct deposit all set up for you.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elden Ring Nightreign releases May 30th⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  3 days of surviving against Elden Ring enemies or what? Sounds like a weird departure from SoulsBorne games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do they make a TV device or dongle to connect quickly via a number of types of inputs?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I use my audio receiver (Denon) and CEC to do this. It automatically switches to whatever input is active.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crisps.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have expected more heat from something called “Thai Green Curry”

  Any mass market product is going to be “white people spicy” at best.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s your body suffering from whiplash as we’re once again back in the era where you never know whether someone is telling the truth or not when they make a wild claim about the president like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm suppose to believe I now live in a world where a Democrats can become president agoant and put George Soros at the head of DOGE?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  “Allowed to win” implies they’re actually trying to win rather than simply being “controlled opposition” for the Republican party to make elections appear legitimate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doordash deserves it's fate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  OP’s situation aside, that doesn’t even fit your generalization here, many pizza places fired their delivery drivers and use these services without really informing you. I recently ordered from Pizza Hut and didn’t know my pizza was coming via these services until they text me that they were arriving. Naturally I only got one of the pizzas I ordered and the other was one that someone else ordered. Someone with terrible taste who thinks jalapeño and pineapple are appropriate ingredients for a pizza.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are the possible ways a computer can kill you?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I have 9 HDDs in mine and the fucker probably weighs 75lbs. It’s always fun when I need to carry it to the kitchen island to do maintenance on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Are you 5’3"? I don’t mean that to be offensive I am genuinely asking. I haven’t weighed anywhere near 130 since I was maybe 12?

  I’m also stuck on this guy’s weight and him saying that it includes a beer belly. Not to be judgemental, it’s just fascinating to hear the details about different body types. I’m on the taller side and am just a few pounds shy of double OPs weight.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it paranoia or is it really a pattern?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Morons and the clickbait media industry that wants to give them a platform to spew their hatred because it’s more profitable that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure retroarch has Gaussian shaders available to use with emulated games, so I’m going to say yes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Permabanned from Reddit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  FYI you likely won’t succeed with your alt accounts as they have extensive ways of fingerprinting you outside of basic stuff like your email or IP address.

  I was permabanned for “ban evasion” after initially getting banned from /r/movies for talking about piracy and then inadvertently commenting there later on an alt account. I attempted to make a new alt with a VPN active and was banned again almost immediately. This happened to coincide with the great exodus, so I wasn’t too sad to just let go of my 10 year old account and settle in here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d find it more than a bit embarrassing if my father was posting “daughter swap” porn videos on social media.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you shop by unit prices, double check the math!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m stuck trying to figure out how many linear feet there are per gram.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, well, we see how well that’s working out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not European I live in the US.

  Counterpoint to this is that you sacrifice your principles and vote Party A and they still wind up losing again and again leaving Party B to run the entire government. Your vote was a throwaway vote anyway, so what would have been the harm in voting Party C?

  Perhaps with enough momentum, Party C can reinvigorate the 50% of eligible voters who don’t even bother to show up due to years of disappointment and apathy with both Party A and Party B. How many times are you willing to vote Party A if they keep backing terrible candidates who can’t win, and even when they do by razor thin margins, do little to stem the tide of destruction? What are you gaining out of this system?

  I’d argue that your mentality only encourages poor performance out of our electorate and these two parties since they can count on you, and those on the other side, to vote for them regardless of what they do or don’t do, how well or bad they perform, and whatever promises they may or may not keep. What is even the point of voting for candidates when all you’re doing is voting for a specific party? They might as well make the election automatic based on whatever party everyone registers as. What’s the difference?

  To me, this mentality is no different than those apathetic voters who sit out every election because all you’re doing is keeping this fucked up system going and expecting things to get better without doing anything different to change the outcome.

  I’ve had the TSA dig through my 6 year old child’s bag of goldfish crackers before. Thank goodness they’re there to protect us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are other parties but people are seemingly too scared to vote for them and would prefer things continue down this path to ruin we’ve been on for the last 40-50 years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the “Switch Pro” would be the OLED model as an upgrade of the original. This thing looks brand new even if it shares a lot of similarity to the original.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Will getting my drivers liscense renewed mess with my employer checking my driving record?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t imagine how renewing your license will affect anything on their end. Your driving record and license number will remain the same.
