They are objectively better insulation than polyfill lmao.
You had an argument in the ethical right and then threw it all away with ridiculous hyperbole.
- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 6 months ago:
The problem people have with your argument is not the existence of 5.1 surround sound.
Nor is it that the vast majority of households can’t afford a properly tuned surround sound setup instead of haphazardly throwing speakers around which arguably creates a worse experience than stereo.
It’s that the Dolby implementation requires publishers to license it and pay for an unstoppable ad that plays before every session, while benefitting only the petit bourgeois.
Notice how you reverted so quickly to your capitalist brainwashing. May be a good inspiration to see what other ideologies have been implanted into you.

Also see Hawaiian slack-key for a super unique and culturally rich style
- Comment on Homeworld 3 Reviews [opencritic - 80% average, 79% recommended] 6 months ago:
I’m hearing a lot of OG Homeworld fans turned off by this one.
Instead of retaining unique charm, they spent a shitload of money on generic video game story #6 and generic wet-looking cutscene render #4.
Simultaneously, many core gameplay mechanics were dumbed down and made more palatable for the masses.
It’s a tough pivot to make, but what else are fans of the genre gonna play hahahah
- Comment on Funny, those guys don't usually agree on that much 6 months ago:
Liberals pulling out a Marian Webster definition and acting like they’re the holy good guys while making no effort to understand what liberalism even is…
Is such a liberal move I’m not even surprised anymore.
Enjoy your right wing echo chamber, real funny how that always happens when liberals and fascists get in a room together.

- Comment on All cheap smartphones have a fingerprint sensor but all laptops dont have one. Why? 6 months ago:
Yeah either they’re unemployed, work from home, or have terrible IT practices where they work hahaha
- Comment on Catholic Priest AI chatbot is defrocked within a week after taking confession and okaying Gatorade baptisms 6 months ago:
Article looks like this was never an ordained Catholic priest, this “media ministry” just started independently claiming it was one.
The bot was defrocked in the sense that it was literally visually defrocked with a costume change. Misleading journalism.
- Comment on The University of Texas at Austin has 'delisted' this video so that it's harder to find. 6 months ago:
In North Korea, the state security forces can just grab you and lock you up for no reason, beating you up, taking your wallet as civil forfeiture, making you lose your job, and dropping you off miles from home with no transportation.
Good thing that could never happen in the US!
- Comment on hole 6 months ago:
They’re just as ugly as the LV monogram luggage or 20 pound Rimowa carryons and yet nobody gives a shit about those and Crocs have a utility value of being comfortable.
(Side tangent in case anyone tries to convert me to Rimowa. There’s a reason flight crews don’t use them.)
Here’s a hint dear reader: it’s class war. Really weird how it’s always class war.
- Comment on "Volkswagen" detects when your tests are being run in a CI server 7 months ago:
Nah, the fun part is, diesel engines just kind of fail the test by nature.
All consumer grade diesel vehicles fail the emissions test, and cheat to pass. There’s no magic revolutionary technology that makes every other automaker pass and VW just somehow was the only one without the magic tech.
VW just forgot to buy someone another yacht.
