- Comment on Actors that have been the least believable scientist castings, I’ll start. 3 hours ago:
Did you just have that in the chamber expecting different comments? The overwhelming number of comments here are white, male actors. In fact, so far, only one female actor has been mentioned, and it was in a comment that also mentioned a male actor.
You look like a fool.

The flaw in your reasoning is that it is outdated by almost 2 decades. Being pushed out of their community doesn’t mean as much when they can just go online and find a new community that tells them all their opinions are right and everyone else is a sheep.

Glad to help! It really is a lifesaver if you ever lose your insurance, I wish more people knew to use it.

DO NOT GET COBRA! That is NOT the fucking lesson! Look, just use healthcare.gov. it’s not perfect, but God damn it will get 90% of people affordable healthcare.

Depends on the wings. If they’re back mounted, I’m not sure they count. They don’t count for insects. We don’t say flies have 8 limbs.

Your situation just got a whole lot easier. No need to block right wing sites on his PC, just block them on your network.

At this point. I just block anyone I see using the em dash. Will a few false positives slip in? Sure, but I’m confident that I’m blocking more bots than nots.

Pass. Such a tired genre at this point.

The only time you should be doing head calcs as an engineer is to double check that you have a reasonable answer with the actual calcs on your actual calculator.
- Comment on Virgin Physicists 5 weeks ago:
Never, in any engineering field, have I EVER seen anyone simplify pi to 5. For that matter, I have never seen anyone simplify to 3. It is always 3.14. I feel like pi simplification is a weird meme that people think engineers do but is never practiced anywhere.
It’s like if there was a meme about chefs saying they always replace eggs with grapefruit. No they don’t, and it’s nonsense to think they do.

You know what’s awesome about humor? Out of all the positive emotions, it’s the only one that is never fully eaten by depression. I think that’s kind of awesome about the human mind, that even in the deepest darkest pit, there is always some laughter to be found.

Why tf would you put that much work into it? Just file a charge back and move on with your life.

I really don’t have the time, or the interest, to explain it to you; but all of the things you linked are either hyperbole, misinformation, or straight up fabrications; a very small amount of digging will show you why. But hey, I don’t work for Brave or care if anyone uses it or not. At the end of the day, use whatever browser you’re comfortable with.
- Comment on It is what it is 1 month ago:
Yes. That is in fact what I’m saying. Brave has built in blockers for ads, trackers, and cookies. It’s default search engine is DDG instead of Google. Considering Firefox defaults to Google for searches, you’re likely giving more data to Google through Firefox than you would using Brave.
- Comment on It is what it is 1 month ago:
Firefox is also a web browser.
Oh sorry, I thought we were making meaningless comparisons.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 1 month ago:
Oooh, I got you OP. If you liked the dense micro-maps of Into the Breach, check out Bad North. Defend small islands from waves of invaders with limited troops. Not an overly long game, but very satisfying for what it is.

Ubisoft wishes they could make a game that good.
- Comment on Always nice to have a guest room 1 month ago:
I love reposts, it lets me know who I can block for posting tired old shit because they’re not creative enough to contribute anything on their own, but would still like the validation and approval as if they did.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
I’ve also never seen a fellow engineer simplify pi to just 3, although I have seen a rise of memes from people who think they do.
I would slap someone if I saw them try that, it’s unnecessarily sloppy. 3.14 is the default, and trivial to work with if you’re using a calculator (I would also slap someone if I saw them not using a calculator). Unless you just LIKE having all your calculations be off by almost 5%. Then you’ll come back wondering why so many of your parts are out of tolerance.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 2 months ago:
You’re going to hate this response, but if you’re already paying to avoid ads, you could get YouTube premium. I got grandfathered into it from Google Music and honestly I feel it’s absolutely worth it. It’s about the same cost as Spotify and comes with YouTube music that works just as well. So I look at it like paying for Spotify with the added bonus of no ads on YouTube and being able to play videos in the background. I also tend to watch a ton of YouTube videos and often use the to fall asleep to.
At this point, it’s the only subscription service I still pay for. I’ve ditched all the others, but that one has stayed. Anytime I see someone watching YouTube without it, or without a good quality ad blocker, I’m horrified. So. Many. Ads. I don’t get how anyone can watch anything like that.
But I get it; most people would rather drag their ass through a mile of broken glass than pay YouTube a dime, and I totally respect that. Just sharing my experience.
- Comment on Ads when you’re pumping gas 2 months ago:
One of the unlabeled buttons on the side of the screen should mute it. Whenever I find it, I’ll take a pen or sharpie and mark which one is the mute button for future people who don’t want to be subjected to that shit.

- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 2 months ago:
I always liked the Dresden Files take on technology and magic. It’s not that they can’t exist in the same universe, it’s that magic causes absolute haywire with circuitry. So you can use technology, or you can use magic, but not both.
