suggestion: make a separate community that is “replies to womens stuff”.
actually don’t, sounds like a cesspool.
- Comment on Anon travels overseas 2 weeks ago:
Not being able to outrun your diet is a really strange concept to me, and I’ve exclusively heard it in this thread, and multiple times in this thread. Dafuq?
- Comment on Anon travels overseas 2 weeks ago:
What you said is an explanation of why what I said is an oversimplification. It’s an efficiency variable, just makes the math slightly more complicated, doesn’t change the formula.
- Comment on Anon travels overseas 2 weeks ago:
calories in, calories out. Use more than you eat and weight goes down. Eat more than you use and weight goes up. It’s an oversimplification, but it’s not wrong.

I just won’t play such games. Simple as.

I hate ai. it’s the worst thing to happen to my writing. I used to like writing, but the ai is better than me and much faster, and it hits the dopamine as if I did it myself. fuck everyone pushing ai, it’s evil.

so I’m gonna have to buy another key, is what you’re saying
- Comment on Louvre security vs CVS 1 month ago:
it’s what i bought so I can open shit at the store I work at. spider is the name brand of magnetic locks, but the same key works on every brand of magnetic lock I’ve tried.
- Comment on Louvre security vs CVS 1 month ago:
sorry for linking amazon, but you should know that you can just buy your own spider key
- Comment on Well do you? 1 month ago:
look, I could do that, OR, hear me out, I could be mad on the Internet about shit that doesn’t actually matter. I know which one I’d pick.

Easy solution: They’re not skeletons, they’re bone golems. They don’t need to be anatomically correct because they weren’t left behind by a living creature but rather crafted by a necromancer to fulfill a specific purpose.

don’t you only see these being used when other preferable infrastructure has already failed, and it’s like, an emergency or something?

- Comment on Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers? 1 month ago:
Depends on who gets superpowers, and how such powers are acquired.
The broad strokes of The Boys makes some degree of sense if we start with the premise that some megacorporation controls the manufacture and publicity of all supers. However, if supers can come from other sources, then what limitations are we putting on the premise?
I am of the opinion that most people are inherently good. Most people are also inherently stupid and cowardly, but keep in mind that these circles on the venn diagram are independent of each other despite some overlap. However, if given an opportunity to choose between helping and hurting, without any fear of repercussions either way, most people would choose to help.
There’s a popular quote: “power corrupts”, which is a shortened version of “absolute power corrupts absolutely”. I think this quote misses something fundamental: “power attracts the corruptable”. In a world without gods, no one I’d ever trust to be one would ever actively make the choice to become one unless it was forced on them somehow.
If superpowers were distributed more randomly, then the odds of us getting a superman instead of a homelander improve greatly. Still a dice throw though.
- Comment on Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics' 2 months ago:
holy shit that looks bad.
If you have deus ex through steam, you can also get revision through steam and revision looks pretty good in my opinion.
- Comment on Microsoft doing shady Microsoft stuff again 2 months ago:
Something I’ve noticed, and it’s consistent enough that I suspect that microsoft does it on purpose, there’s a 50/50 chance that your windows instal will either be fine forever without problems, or plagued with constant issues that get worse with every update. 2 identical machines with the same install media can produce very different experiences.
I use linux now, and I no longer do tech support, so I’m glad I don’t have to deal with that shit anymore.
- Comment on proof of wormholes 2 months ago:
it’s a bad argument, but the people claiming that Tylenol causes autism aren’t using logic to make their claim either.

- Comment on 'An embarrassing failure of the US patent system': Videogame IP lawyer says Nintendo's latest patents on Pokémon mechanics 'should not have happened, full stop' 2 months ago:
Nintendo deserves a lot of shit for their business decisions, but not for their art directions. windwaker and sunshine still look good to this day by simply appling higher resolutions and some anti aliasing. No game with “realistic graphics” has ever stood the test of time.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 2 months ago:
Weight is in pounds. Only pounds. don’t ask me how much a gram or a ton is.
Volume, though, I still remember “Gallon Man” from 1st grade.
2 cups in a pint
2 pints in a quart
4 quarts in a gallon
What’s after gallons? not a clue.

yeah, it sucks. There’s no actual case for imperial over metric. it’s just what I’ve spent years getting used to and I’m not changing now.

The dark side can be a pathway to many abilities some might consider … stupid.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 2 months ago:
I know right? it’s such an intuitive system with a convenient unit for every scale you might want to work with.
- Comment on 5 tomatoes 2 months ago:
If you want to convert between imperial units, going straight from feet to miles is impractical. You’d be better off knowing the chart of survey units, and they’re all small numbers so they’re easy to remember.
12 inches in a foot
3 feet in a yard
22 yards in a chain
10 chains in a furlong
8 furlongs in a mile
Of course, i know this because I do 3d art in blender and refuse to set it to metric.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 2 months ago:
I spent 3 hours stuck on one boss fight.
In most games, finally beating it would have me saying “thank fuck its over”.
In silksong, I’m saying “fuck yeah that was a good boss”. It’s a very different feeling, and one that I haven’t had the pleasure of enjoying in quite some time.
That said.
I think both hollow knight and silksong should have easy modes. It would be fine. It doesn’t hurt me any that someone else can have an easier time. People need to remember that video games are entertainment, and the sweaty “hardcore gamers” can fuck off with their usual judgemental elitism.
