• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Farewell, BioWare: The End of an RPG Giant⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think BioWare had already been a zombie for years, might as well kill it off for good.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone could make a hair trimmer that could 3d scan your head well enough to give you a taper on the edges, how much would you pay?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  In contrast to hair trimmers, cars have an extensive repair infrastructure, and the labor is relatively cheap compared to the buying price, which would not be true for a handheld device.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If someone could make a hair trimmer that could 3d scan your head well enough to give you a taper on the edges, how much would you pay?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I never really bothered with tapers, and I prefer this kind of thing to be simple, reliable, longlasting and offline, which is diametrically opposed to the kind of tech you’re describing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why was Hitler all about "blonde hair and blue eye Aryan?" When he would not be in the ball park of one or exhibit any of the traits he was looking for?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  He did have blue eyes.
  There’s definitely some tendency among rightwingers to ignore the obvious mismatch between their personal traits and the marginalized groups that and their mates are hating on. e.g. there were NSDAP-nazis who were ethnically jewish, or more or less openly homosexual (Ernst Röhm, one of the party’s leaders before he was assassinated). Today lots of far right parties have female leaders who clearly don’t match their parties’ “family values”, Alice Weidel of Germany’s AfD is even openly lesbian with a Sri Lankan girlfriend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you shower from the front or the back?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Front, back and crucially from below.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the net positive of Gene Therapy out weigh the negative? How so?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I assume that depends mostly on how bad the condition is you’re trying to cure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon drinks too much milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What’s your point then? Do you never have unopened milk at home?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon drinks too much milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Normal milk can’t be stored without refrigeration for several months, regardless of whether its open or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon drinks too much milk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  UHT (ultra heat treated / ultra-pasteurized) milk can be stored at room temperature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a ghost⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn, Europe is fucking haunted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can one individual get Nestle, Amazon, Google, Apple, Disney, and Blackrock to go out of business?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If you become the richest person ever or outcompete them, you’d likely be worse than they are now, and then you’d be the one people would want to shut down.

  I wrote one of those answer and yeah, no, I got that. I just thought this issue would be obvious, but my comment was probably too subtle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is being an "Incel" a new thing or new terminology? If so what were they in like the 70's or 80's?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People who never had sex even though they want to is definitely not a new thing, but the term and especially its current usage that isn’t even exclusive to virgins (e.g. people call Andrew Tate an incel, even though he’s more accurately described as a rapist and slaver) is new.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How can one individual get Nestle, Amazon, Google, Apple, Disney, and Blackrock to go out of business?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Become a billionaire and outcompete them, or become a some kind of supreme leader of USA and Switzerland and close them down.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ugh⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Dead on with the first point, but do these fucks even have enough morality to genuinely believe at some point that they are the good guys? Seems like it’s pure egoism from start to finish.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ugh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  TBH now that tech fascism is a big thing IRL, I’ve kinda lost my taste for Cyberpunk. Hits a little too close to home…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ugh⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Transhumanism is a big theme in Cyberpunk, it just doesn’t necessarily mean that Cyberpunk is correct about how common voluntary cybernetic augmentations are going to be.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wind speeds⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t think tornados are actually that uncommon. North America’s tornado alley is special, but even Germany has roof-destroying tornados every year - they just aren’t as big or as frequent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon loves GOG⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering that Valve is headquartered in the US and not known for being especially antifascistic, I’d be rather surprised if that’s not also true for Valve/Steam.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard Out There For A Woman⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Mixing those up would certainly be embarassing, though :D

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My IBS doesn’t agree with hot chili, so it’s Japanese for me. They have wasabi, but it’s optional and it’s an essential oils (? IDK, I’m ESL)-based hotness, so it’s less hard on the digestive tract.

  Also, AFAIK regular Japanese food is also vegetable-centric, that’s just not usually what’s served as fast food.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon experiences a glitch⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anesthetics is super trippy like that. Wish falling asleep was like that…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me after realizing Crown is a Canadian product....⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You mean Diageo?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hard Out There For A Woman⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, false friends (loan words that don’t mean what they mean in the other language) are super common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Slash.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some slash fics are still epic stories in their own right! Good luck finding a good one that gets finished, though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess you prefer the bad behavior to continue. Cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A Fediverse genre of Guy⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  no true scotsman

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you want people to change their behavior in positive ways or not?

  Also, lots of people use drugs as self-medication (though usually counterproductive), which I find it hard to blame them for, given the lack of access to healthcare, social services, workers rights and other things you need to live a good life. e.g. Prince didn’t take the drugs he died from because he wanted to party, but because he was in pain and couldn’t get pain medication through proper channels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees an opportunity⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Really depends on the camera person.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon identifies a trope⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If OP’s characterization is accurate, you could argue for anti-hero.
