If they want people to keep shopping there and providing the income necessary to maintain that charitable work, they should probably try to maintain the perception that they price things cheaply enough to make it worth digging through racks of second hand goods.

It is a menu driven battler that ran on a game boy. It doesn’t take a programming savant to write this, no matter how many mechanics you bolt on top.
- Comment on PlayStation product manager says ads being shown was just a bug 1 month ago:
Yeah it is possible he’s accurately, but misleadingly, calling it a bug because it was not meant to be deployed to production (yet). I do not think that’s how he wants or expects people to take it when he calls it a “bug”, though.

you don’t get entire functional UI elements accurately populated with appropriate data out of a “bug”

If all your sponsors and business partners immediately flee you at mach speed over what you sent to that kid, it was certainly well past “inappropriate”

Specific aspects of gender roles are what toxic masculinity criticizes, you’re trying to substitute a general term for a more specific one. Toxic masculinity specifically refers to the ones that are toxic, not the fact that men have gender roles at all. It’s, like you said, right there in the name.

My dude, scenes from a Barbie movie are not representative of an entire political movement and I really don’t think your interpretation of those scenes makes for any kind of proof of your claims.
Do you have anything demonstrating the feminist movement supports this shit:
The Duluth Model of determining domestic violence another example. Child support is another. The banning of paternity testing is yet another
Or are you just labeling these things as feminist because you do that with everything you perceive as misandrist?
- Comment on Why isn't jerking off more valorized as an easy dopamine hit that's also literally good for you? 5 months ago:
You’re making a lot of claims about things I don’t think you really have a grasp on. “Toxic masculinity” is not an implication that all men are inherently toxic. It’s a criticism of societal expectations for men that harm them and their relationships.
You’re saying that feminism has seriously hindered acceptance of male masturbation but all you’ve provided here is vague unsubstantiated implications of media bias and a single author’s name. I’m not going to read the entire collected works of whoever Dworkin is to figure out why you think they’re both representative of the entire feminist movement and also hate men wanking it. Give me something tangible here. A quote, a law they supported, a speech, a video, literally anything at all that isn’t just some insulation that’s only attributable to yourself
I would consider myself a male feminist and I masturbate daily so if the movement thinks that’s wrong I’d like to know so I can stop describing myself as feminist.

You’ve been clear about what you think dude, we want to know why you think it.

That’s not an explanation you just restated the claim they asked you to elaborate on. What have you encountered that led you to this conclusion?

fake is just an easy way to communicate the idea without going into a bunch of complex color terminology. extra-spectral is a name for them if you really want to split hairs about it.

There are humans with a fourth color receptor in their eyes who have a wider color range than your average person.. Women only though, sorry boys.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 7 months ago:
that is an extremely debatable, incredibly hot take. i wasn’t a fan of cloud and surface spam but lets not pretend that 5e’s combat is universally loved, either. larian made it work pretty well by sanding off some edges here and there but it’s, at best, a sidegrade.
- Comment on Hasbro exec says Baldur's Gate 3 "proved for us that people really wanted great D&D games," supports Larian's plan to "take the time we need" 7 months ago:
Yeah I agree. They deserve a lot of credit for elevating D&D rather than relying on it to elevate the game. The result is grater than the sum of its parts; both D&D and Larian reached a wider audience through the collaboration.

Anyone who played Larian’s previous titles can tell you the only thing DnD brought to the table was a popular license.

Continuing to be amazed that the Pinkertons both still exist and are still up to their old tricks. Nothing is ever learned.

UV tattoo ink is one of the only inks that have been approved by the FDA (for animal use). They’ve been used for a long time in livestock. Not that that should make you comfortable with sticking into your skin or anything, but it’s probably not quite the same as powdering your face with radium.
While we’re on the subject of historically misguided applications of radioactive materials: ever heard of uranium glass? People get real weird around spicy rocks.
- Comment on Overwatch 2 story missions future uncertain after January layoffs (according to ex-devs) 7 months ago:
they probably got a lot of people to buy the first couple battlepasses. a success for that quarter, maybe, but probably not the long tail they were hoping to get from transforming it into the GaaS model. they probably made more money from OW1 lootboxes, overall
- Comment on bioluminescence 7 months ago:
There are UV reactive tattoo inks. Not exactly the same but pretty close, and probably safer than trying to manipulate your genes.

That would make more sense if Wikipedia was a profit generating enterprise that needed to satisfy shareholders. It’s run like a charity through donations , though. Nobody is gonna replace Jimmy unless he steps down willingly.

Thinking one guy deserves that much salary for the work of millions of volunteers over decades is what’s hilarious. Do you think those giant pleas that they post when they need money would be as convincing if they listed his salary?
- Comment on The duality of particles 8 months ago:
Eyes are a measuring device and using them here would not result in two lines. Using a different measuring device produces a different result. Nothing I’ve said is counter to anything you’ve said.
- Comment on The duality of particles 8 months ago:
Yeah, if you alter the experiment to try and prove duality then of course you can do that because light is both. The classic double slit experiment, as commonly understood and illustrated above, just proves the wave part though. You’re not going to see just two lines from shining a flashlight through a couple holes.
- Comment on The duality of particles 8 months ago:
It’s just proof that light behaves as a wave. The second picture is how it would theoretically behave if it was (only) a particle, which it isn’t. The proof that light is a particle comes from a second experiment proposed by Einstein dealing with the photoelectric effect. This article is meant for kids but it explains things pretty plainly. The duality is unexplained, but the experiment is well understood.
