If only they’d put all the slop under one sub domain!

Why is OP searching for it?

It’s YouTube.

My wife identifies as this. It really suits them. They do experience sexual arousal, but it’s rare, though it’s not repulsive either.

The amount of people that assume laughter is directed at them in a scenario like this instead of the friend or even just a reaction to something uncomfortable is too high.

It wasn’t pointless of me to try and help you and others know the difference between copyrights and patents. It’s a very common misconception. It wasn’t detracting from your point, either. At no point did I argue that the game companies doing this are actually morally correct and that it shouldn’t bother you that the Nemesis System is patented or that Nintendo is patenting things like capturing monsters.

It’s a common misconception. It’s not a big deal. Why are you being so defensive about me correcting it?
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 6 days ago:
The difference does matter. Two copyrighted games can have similar mechanics. Just look at literally any pair of games in the same genre. First person shooting isn’t patented, so anybody can make an FPS game. They patented the nemesis system. Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War are copyrighted.

It’s not really a problem, it’s just funny that so many forms of power generation we have are just boiling water to make steam that spins turbines.

Copyright infringement, trademark infringement, and patent infringement are all very different.
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 1 week ago:
Patented, not copyrighted, but I think you double posted.
- Comment on A cool feature/mechanic you want to see in games again 1 week ago:
You mean patent. You don’t choose to copyright things or not, all media is inherently copyrighted. This comment is technically copyrighted once I hit send. It sounds like your referring to Shadow of Mordor’s/War’s Nemesis system being patented.

I remember seeing a joke once about what if Reddit added left votes and right votes with no explanation in addition to up votes and down votes.

That’s a really odd way to parse it.
a + b ----- c + b
- Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
Now that’s a good troll math thing because it gets really deep into the weeds of mathematical notation. There isn’t one true order of operations that is objectively correct, and in top of that, that’s hardly the way most people would write that. As in, if you wrote that by hand, you wouldn’t use the
/symbol. You’d either use ÷ or a proper fraction.It’s a good candidate for nerd sniping.
Personally, I’d call that 36 as written given the context you’re saying it in, instead of calling it 1. But I’d say it’s ambiguous and you should notate in a way to avoid ambiguities. Especially if you’re in the camp of multiplication like
a(b)being different fromaband/ora × b. - Comment on I dunno 1 week ago:
They did the joke wrong. To do it right you need to use the ÷ symbol. Because people never use that after they learn fraction, people treat things like a + b ÷ c + d as
a + b ----- c + d
Or (a + b) ÷ (c + d) when they should be treating it as a + (b ÷ c) + d.
That’s the most common one of these “troll.math” tricks. Because notating as
a + b + d - c
Is much more common and useful. Do people get used to grouping everything around the division operator as if they’re in parentheses.

- Comment on Hashtag spiritual hashtag truth 1 week ago:
I believe god is omnipotent and omniscient so I just prayed once for a good and healthy life. To pray often is to doubt god’s power. I don’t wanna out god in a box like that. Plus god has a divine plan that is obviously unable to be altered so why should we interject our own opinions into it? Seems like hubris to me.

So the satanic government must be hiding the prayers to satan that all pilots are required to do by the satanic FAA!

- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 2 weeks ago:
Games that refuse to let you change the difficulty once you begin a game. More broadly, single player games that worry too much about preserving some sort of honor associated with doing well and make it annoying to play. Like rougue likes that have no save and quit for fear of people save scumming.
- Comment on Gaming Pet Peeves 2 weeks ago:
The thing I hate about parrying games is that there’s rarely ever any consistency about what you can and cannot parry and also never any way for you to learn if you’re parrying too early or too soon or what.

And then goes into a weeks-long suicidal despair if you try to leave the conversation? Any way to deal with that?
It’s always easier said than done, but I don’t engage with people who use suicide as a threat or bring it up as a regular thing. It’s too exhausting. Life is just too short to deal with that. Not everybody deserves your nuance. Not everybody deserves your time. Especially if they just want to belittle you by saying they’re suicidal as a defense mechanism.

How can you even make that comparison? Skibidi toilet has a story. Badger badger had… A soccer version sequel. Bad comparison.
