You… smile… in front of a mirror? Why?
- Comment on They made his car "cease & desist" 3 weeks ago:
Google it and you’ll see tons of websites telling this was faked.
E.g. that it’s highly illegal to stop a car on the road, contradictory information on tesla display (failed update and cease and desist, don’t go together. Also return to dealer while being disabled?), addressed name in letter is not the real name, hyphen in wrong place, etc. And tesla (obviously) claimed it’s false.
I’m not saying this is proof but saying there are a lot of red flags. Any update from him? Not that I could find. A stunt perhaps to gain publicity?

Ye I know I just meant it’d seem like an obvious thing to test. But then again, there are a thousand such cases, probably
- Comment on How did that 22-year-old get on in the date his dad set him up with? 4 weeks ago:
Meaning it depends on the distance what they’d do? Seems like an obvious thing to test in testing phase

I’m interested in how’d find such a thing as a “federated copy.” Do you just go on a federated instance and search for the same post? Or copy the ID number in the URL? And how’d you choose the right instance, luck?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Theoretically, yes. That is, if (you own the instance and) set up an email server with same domain. Should work.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
I never said they’d “cancel” whatever that means.
yeah we agree suffering can be both good and bad.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
you clearly have mental problems xD I was just trying to view it rationally. A path you never dare to ponder I suppose
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
So we agree. Suffering has both good and bad parts.
So you can’t say suffering is (always) bad, because it can have good (secondary) effects. - Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 5 weeks ago:
This is basically saying too much suffering is bad (succumbing to hunger). But a little (harsh breakup) can be good.
So this doesn’t suggest suffering is bad after all. If good can come from suffering, then suffering cannot be necessary bad.
- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 5 weeks ago:
Wut? They’re not extremely expensive, and they commonly have blue-ray capacity, so 50 GB

A so-called M-disk is rated for 1000 years. Artificial lab tests could at least ‘confirm’ a few hundred years. Amazing shit.
Add encryption to it, keep the keys safe (perhaps on another M-disk) and you’re set!
- Comment on do you think he realizes he's mumbling in this scene? 1 month ago:
“Extracted” is usually the part that you keep so it’s clearer to say “filtered out the music” or “extracted the relevant part”
- Comment on do you think he realizes he's mumbling in this scene? 1 month ago:
Do you have a hearing issue perhaps of is english not your first language?

Filler words?

I got banned for saying the word retard. And that’s just retarded

Aha I see. Very informative, thanks. But what are the presumable downsides of just having enters work as regular enters? I think I understand the appeal of all lines having the same width, but this can still be accomplished by just not using any enters. Right?
And having the rendering work just like the text editor, of course only adds bonus points to the overall user experience. What am I missing?
- Comment on How to get a new line in a post, but not two? 1 month ago:
Same on Reddit but oh well im not rly there anymore

- Comment on Is possible to learn to swim, just by reading a lot about it? 2 months ago:
I get what you mean but it’s not a good example since this is definitely in a book/on the internet
- Comment on Why do websites now prefer IP-based geolocation rather than the `Accept-Language` HTTP header? 2 months ago:
I’ve been complaining about this for years. And since the large influx of vpn use (esp US I think), I expected this to become a more pressing and widespread issue along people, leading to more urgency to fix it. But no, even google sites seem to not give a shit IIRC
- Comment on “Production” to describe multiplication? 3 months ago:
What the hell are you talking about. I corrected OP because they used the wrong word in a sentence
- Comment on “Production” to describe multiplication? 3 months ago:
Product not production
- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 3 months ago:
Not blocking does not mean giving away personal information or being scammed. Yes, if people find this a hard thing to do, by all means, block them. But if you’re not incompetent and just set your boundaries, there may not be reason for an outright block, that’s what I’m saying. Again, it may very well be a slight misunderstanding
- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 3 months ago:
Well maybe but if op enjoyed the conversation somewhat, blocking ‘indiscriminately’ would certainly be out of place
- Comment on Is it normal for people to ask where you are from online? 3 months ago:
Blocking out of the blue seems over the top to me. I’d rather just confront him about his behavior and see how he reacts. Maybe he just phrased it weird and didn’t mean to come off as creepy.
If not, well, then you know

Maybe I don’t understand? but you only see the bikini if you’re subscribed to said community, right? On whichever instance it’s being hosted, doesn’t matter?

Oh I thought you meant to add something with the word thermodynamics, but apparently you just wanted to say something fancy that didn’t actually add to what you already said.

How so, or do you just wanna sound smart
