The second Jurassic World movie was that, sort of.
- Comment on Milking dust 4 hours ago:
I thought this was better than Jurassic World 2. I didn’t see the 3rd.

Something about this reminds me of macOS’s default Finder settings that doesn’t let you manually type a path.

I understood three of the five big words. :3

Attraction to women doesn’t make people not misogynist.

Uh, yeah, that’s the point of all regulations. To make you not pick bad things.
- Comment on Maybe someday 😌 2 days ago:
Lol. I think there is one for Republican and Democrat though. Which is funny. Or maybe it’s like conservative or something. I don’t know. There are so many TLDs now, it’s crazy.
- Comment on Thanks to the "you need to buy a new PC for running W11" bullshit, scammers are selling ewaste at full price to inexperienced people 2 days ago:
I had a very similar PC. I think maybe slightly better. I ended up upgrading because the CPU was becoming more and more of a bottleneck. The roar was Elden Ring. The fps wouldn’t go past about 20. Also some gaves are now being compiled against x64 v3 instructions (like Hell Divers 2 and Death Stranding) which there’s literally no way of running on an old CPU since it doesn’t have the instructions for it.

Yeah it definitely does read like incel propaganda with the rest in there.

Wow, I didn’t know fascists wanted to protect women! They’re such allies! /s (hopefully obvious)

Awww, I thought you also made the prayer 14 words. Would’ve really nailed the point home.

The amount of people who think that scientists don’t understand how bees fly is evidence that most people don’t have this world view. As if someone would see a bee flying, not only having been around for eons, but a very common creature most people are familiar with, would just throw their hands up and say “WHOA! THIS VIOLATES ALL THE LAWS OF PHYSICS! THIS SHOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE!”

Go tell the authors of that article then, I very clearly said I was only using it as an example.of what I meant by fixing it with macros and not saying it’s a solution I’ve looked into. 🙄

I think people have a hard time wrapping their heads around it because it’s very rare to have this sort of problem in the real world. Typically you have a specific size container and need to arrange things in it. You usually don’t get to pick an arbitrary size container or area for storage. Even if you for something like shipping, you’d probably want to break this into a 4x4 and a separate single box to better fit with other things being shipped as well. Or if it is storage you’d want to be able to see the sides or tops. Plus you have 3 dimensions to work with on the real world.
- Comment on Is anyone else not feeling that patriotic for July 4? 4 days ago:
I’ve never celebrated the 4th of July because I’ve been patriotic, I’ve done it because it’s fun. When I stopped believing in God I didn’t stop celebrating Christmas. In the same way Christmas is about gifts and seeing family, the 4th of July is about fireworks and seeing friends.

Yes, it is a physical defect but it is common enough that people have been able to work around it with macros.
It’s been a while since I tried to look into this or fix it, but a quick search shows what I think was a possible solution. (Might not be, I’m just trying to be explanatory of what I mean by a macro fixing a double click problem.) techenclave.com/t/…/269878
- Comment on Listen here, Little Dicky 4 days ago:
Calculus was the only class I failed in college. It was one of those massive 200 student classes. The teacher had a thick accent and hand writing that was difficult to read. Also, I remember her using phrases like “iff” that at the time I thought was her misspelling something only to later realize it was short hand for “if and only if”, so I can’t imagine how many other things just blew over my head.
I retook it in a much smaller class and had a much better time.

Does it still allow macros? I have a couple of 502s and my older one has fallen victim to the common problem of rhe switch getting bouncey so one click becomes multiple. Supposedly macros can fix this.

Cervix? Posterior Fornix? Damn, girl! How many pussies you got!?
- Comment on Is there really anything stopping an evil government from just poisoning the water supply to commit a massacre/genocide/ethnic-clensing? 1 week ago:
I don’t really understand the thought behind the question. In the sense of legality? Obviously. In the sense of someone saying something? Obviously. In the sense that people have free will? No. The people that work at water facilities are typically technically government employees. If all of them suddenly went rogue would you count that as “the government doing it”? Because they wouldn’t be acting in line with the government, but they’re still “the government.”
So, no, but actually yes, but actually no.
It’s like saying “what’s actually preventing a secret service member from shooting the president?” Nothing? Everything? How do you answer?

I’m not saying Blippi hasn’t done anything (I don’t even know what the allegations are), I’m just saying even if Beast didn’t diddle children he’s still bad.
- Comment on MrBeast scraps AI YouTube thumbnail generator days after announcing it: 'If creators don't want the tools, no worries' 1 week ago:
It’s not like the threshold for being bad is as high as hurting children lol. You can still be a bad person even if you’re not diddling minors lol.

What revelation are you waiting for? He’s already awful.

I haven’t played the game much so I don’t know.
- Comment on Anon plays cyberpunk 1 week ago:
In the same way pure hearted good guys can be a fresh of breath air after dozens of anti heroes, sometimes straight forward evil people can be relieving after so many “the ends justify the means” people.

Just because something is legally correct doesn’t mean it is ethical. Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it is immoral.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 week ago:
Do you have evidence to support that the flash deal prices aren’t the prices that are there for the entire length of the sale now?
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale 2025 has begun! 1 week ago:
People got wise to it lol. People were posting flowcharts about not buying games until they were on flags deals if you want them. Also some years I think they did something that led people to believe only having specific games on your wishlist was advantageous which led to people removing everything from their wishlist except for stuff that was more expensive. That disproportionately hurt indie devs.
All in all I think I’m glad it’s gone. Plus the games (like that racing thing) never made sense to me.
