"You are trapped in my devious trap! See how if you try to pull apart, it only grips you tighter; but if you move closer, your tips will touch and that’s gay! What will you do now, Mr. Bond? What will you do now?!
- Comment on Check Out New Preview And Behind-The-Scenes Images From The ‘Star Trek: Section 31’ Streaming Movie 4 days ago:
Hard pass. I don’t need a movie of the Star Trek series so bad that many fans, myself included, refuse to acknowledge it as canon.
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 6 days ago:
Definitely do! If anything, I’m underselling just how much content it adds. It’s even set a few decades after the base game so it really is like a full sequel.
- Comment on Any Roguelike/Roguelite suggestions? 1 week ago:
For those who fondly remember FTL and think they got everything out of it; I highly, HIGHLY, recommend getting the Multiverse mod. It’s essentially FTL 2 and adds an absolutely insane amount of content. Seriously, it’s like 10x bigger than the base game. Dozens of new ships and equipment, several new races, hundreds of new events, new paths, new victory conditions. It is amazing and has really breathed new life into such an awesome game.

- Comment on Can 2025 please be the year more games add Text and UI Scaling 1 week ago:
It’s one of the things that turned me off from Elden Ring. The text is just so damn small. It’s not a problem on a monitor, but trying to play on a TV while relaxing on the couch? Constant squinting.
- Comment on What's the best drink to celebrate a passing? 1 week ago:
To me a good Scotch Whisky is an event drink. Drink it to celebrate, drink it to mourn, just as long as there is some some triggering event that warrants it.

Well there are several stories in the Bible about Jesus riding an ass, but none about Jesus riding boobs. So I think it’s safe to say Jesus was an ass man.
- Comment on I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I think the sequel was better. 1 week ago:
The sequel is Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator which deals with such topics as a massive luxury space hotel, shapeshifting aliens that will bludgeon you to death and eat you for existing near them, and accidentally reversing the age of one of your grandparents so far that they blink out of existence and you have to travel into the extremely dangerous pre-existance void to save them.

- Comment on Time to make your decesion 2 weeks ago:
Gotta be careful with that. I shared an office with an old guy once and had to bring headphones. We wouldn’t talk, but he would constantly make old man noises. Coughs, grunts, snorts, etc. If I didn’t block them out, they would drive me crazy like nails on a chalkboard. That said, the guy himself was really cool and I loved working with him otherwise.
- Comment on Behold currently! 3 weeks ago:
No, fuck right off. That BS attitude is a big part of what killed reddit. Fake shit that tries to pass itself off as real is lame as fuck and insulting. With pro wrestling or plays or movies, you go in expecting it to be fake. It doesn’t really matter if the wrestlers don’t have any beef, you still get to see 20 midgets attacking a bullfighter. The lie is just the set up, not the main event. But shit like this post? The lie is the entire thing. Take it away and you just have someone’s shitty, unclever, poetry that isn’t interesting or funny enough to stand on its own.
- Comment on Amazon: The same 31 products you don't want, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again 3 weeks ago:
Honestly that site is genius.
They provide as much information as possible for all their hardware. Specs, drawings, CAD models, similar products, item codes, CAGE codes, everything! All without requiring an account or membership. Why do that when someone could just take that info and use it to find a cheaper source? Especially when they’re more expensive than other sources by 25% or more? Well because engineers will often grab their models and use them in their designs, and when it comes time to order things, knowing the parts order will have the exact dimensions and specifications as the ones in your model is often worth the premium. Plus they have so many products that if it’s not on their website, there’s a good chance it doesn’t exist anywhere.
Most other hardware sellers use the worst model imaginable for their sites. The kind where it’s like “Oh, you’d like some tubing? Well give us an email, make an account, and send a message to our sales team to put together a quote for you. And we won’t share the full specs until you do, so there’s no guarantee that we even have what you want.”
McMaster really embraced the philosophy that if you make things as easy as possible for your customers, they’ll choose you even if you’re more expensive.

Depends entirely on the job.
If you are interacting with people or have meetings, sure, promptness is important and polite.
If you are doing design work, or coding, or data driven jobs where you don’t really interact with anyone and just work for 8 hours, then who gives a shit if you work from 8-4 or 8:10-4:10? Fuck off if you think that makes a difference. 8 hours is 8 hours. End of story.

Why do you presume this is about Americans?

Hmm… I can’t put my finger on it, but somehow I get the feeling that someone named “Lil Xan” might not be the best kind of person.
- Comment on just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me. 1 month ago:
Where are you getting that 50k number from? Is it based on the number of abortions performed in 2021? You don’t, perhaps, think that women might be getting abortions out of state, or relying on better birth control methods, or are resorting to smuggling in Plan B? You think it’s really a 1-to-1?

As humans, our eyes contain 3 different types of cones (red, blue, and green). With these we can see around 1 million different colors.
But Mantis Shrimp have 16 different types of cones in their eyes! And with those 16 cones they can see a whopping… 16 colors.
While our brains allow us to mix and match the different bands of light our eyes detect in order to “see” a wide variety of colors, Mantis Shrimp lack that ability. What they detect is what they get, there’s no neural post processing, or at least not any that allow the perception of mixed colors.

The only truly new method of power generation we’ve made in the last 100 years has been photovoltaic cells. Everything else is just finding new ways to make turbines spin.

Sadly I think there are people out there like this
The only sad thing is how much brain rot people like you have gotten from the internet to believe shit like this exists anywhere in reality. You’ve built up examples in your head of awful people doing awful things, except all those examples are fake bullshit like this.

The alternative is pretty fucking stupid too. Imagine losing access to your freshwater because the river shifted across an imaginary line. At least when the border is the river, you always have access to the river.
- Comment on [Discussion] Someone should have gotten sued over Kangaroo Jack for deceiving trailer 2 months ago:
I honestly think thats brilliant marketing and actually hammers home the message being told. Modern war and life in the military isn’t like what you normally see in media or what the recruiters will promise you. It’s often a boring, exhausting, lonely, massive waste of fucking time punctuated by moments of high stress. Most soldiers don’t see direct action and have practically zero insight into what is going on. Why was that patch of dirt 5 miles away just bombed? Was it us who bombed it? Who fucking knows? Get back to drilling.
