- Comment on With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake? 1 week ago:
Gotta agree. What kind of aristocrats are we dealing with here who eat cake with cutlery? 😁
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 1 week ago:
Cathartic maybe, coin flip on whether it’s therapeutic or not.
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 1 week ago:
Well, it could go either way.
One of the reasons therapists exist is they’re not blank voids like the internet.
They can respond in human ways, be real and realistic. Help put the confession into context of a person’s life.
Without that, it’s a role of the dice. Some people will come away feeling lighter.
Some will come away with a sensation of having talked themselves into believing they’re a piece of ****.
I guess that’s why AITA is such a popular format.
- Comment on Drivers could get licence points for fly-tipping 1 week ago:
That’s where I do my fly tipping.
There’s two places within a fifteen minute drive where I can dump anything.
Literally just drive in.
- Comment on What happens when you break a bone? 1 week ago:
Usually results in me getting arrested

- Comment on Attention! 3 weeks ago:
It’s been a few years since I was inside iPhones regularly but back then… All of them had a physical antenna or two which plugged into a board on a little coax connection.
Unplug those, no reception, phone just assumes it’s in a dead zone.
WiFi would still work if enabled. Which probably means they could find you via WiFi even if switched off in the current world
- Comment on I want to replay Skyrim but 3 weeks ago:
Fallout 3 is very similar to Skyrim.
I’d suggest that.
If you’re comfortable with modding, in suggest “A Tale of two wastelands” as this merges fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas into a single game.
Fallout 1 and 2 are very different games. Good, but nothing like Skyrim.
Fallout 4 feels very different, not in a bad way but it’s not got the charm of Skyrim or Fallout 3, that lovely feeling of finding things in a flawlessly crafted world.
- Comment on I want to replay Skyrim but 3 weeks ago:
How about Fallout? Two of them are a similar experience.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 5 weeks ago:
Was after Postal 2

Whales seem to have mastered that!
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 1 month ago:
For a while, meta progression felt like a clever way to keep games fresh. You’d unlock new gear, perks, or passive bonuses between runs, and that sense of forward motion made failure feel productive.
Sounds like regular progression?

In which country are you making the comparison?
Because that matters to chocolate
- Comment on Anon looks back 1 month ago:
One of the things that stops people making changes and choices of their own accord is fear.
Fear of the unknown, the uncertainty. Anon had a choice to make, they made it.
If they’d made a different choice, their life would have been different. Maybe better maybe not, certainly different.
- Comment on The man who drove his car into 100 people should be able to drive again, Judge rules. 1 month ago:
This feels like we’ve buried the lead.
Would denying him a license stop him using a car to murder?
I’m sure he wouldn’t want to break the traffic laws.
- Comment on Almost a quarter of UK GPs are seeing obese children aged four and under 1 month ago:
Can we take collective responsibility for our society without taking any collective blame?
Need to split it out. Take out the blame and punishment, and see it from a grown up point of view.
Coz I hear you, I’m not taking the blame for stuff I had no control over. That makes no sense. I owe nobody anything for that stuff.
I am over okay with taxes, or other measures, which address society’s needs even if they aversely affect me. Ws we have a shared responsibility to make society a better place.

- Comment on POSTAL: Classic and Uncut is free on gog.com 1 month ago:
What other game lets you…
Stun Gun till they wet themselves.
Pour petrol on them while they’re down
Flick a match on them when they get up
Piss on the corpse when they fall down
Wonder if there’s something my subconscious is telling me?
😁
- Comment on RSPB 'shuts down' X account in 'foreseeable future' update 2 months ago:
Too many fake tits on there
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Not for me.
I get paid for 8 hours per week, at a rate thats roughly equivalent to the national average wage, to be available for eight hours on three different days.
I almost never actually do eight hours of actual work, so I feel like I’m okay with this deal. I turn off the phone evenings and weekends, I’m not the only one who can help with stuff most of the time.
I do get that a lot of stuff about being on call is abusive and exploitive, but most of the world is not the US.
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Especially when you’re “on call”
- Comment on 2 months ago:
Maybe dude works from home.
I gotta check my phone pretty Sharp during working times, even if I’m not working, in case I’m needed
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 2 months ago:
I think my infrastructure can achieve this. 😏
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 2 months ago:
Interesting. Might check that out
- Comment on DLC is sometimes Downright Ludicrous Commercialism 2 months ago:
Absolutely agree.
Something like Surviving Mars released a decent complete game.
New DLC added more features than Genuinly felt like additions, not fixes for an incomplete game.

- Comment on Should speakers hum when they're connected to a stereo, but the volume of is turned all the way down? 2 months ago:
Someone should make an Amazon for used gear, with the same fast shipping and return policy. BC you are right and the new stuff is often such low quality.
That’s eBay, isn’t it?

I’m asking myself whether the humans in Australia became extra dangerous in order to acclimate 🤔

Most enjoyment for me since Voyager.
Best of the new stuff but I feel mean to lower decks for saying that.

I was confused by your metaphor so was genuinely trying to clarify!
I couldn’t work out if you thought they’re wasting resources on Linux or should be investing in Linux
