You know, some people would consider that flirting. Also, wear a mouthguard, I guess.

Hey, everything in moderation, including moderation

That looks very unhealthy. I want it.
- Comment on Are you not entertained? 6 days ago:
Yeah, I don’t mind propaganda, just don’t listen.
That’s a joke, in case it was not obvious.

Depends where you are, seems to be a pretty US-based thing. Here it is all weird stuff.

Ouch. Yeah, the self-medication is a big problem in our society. Congrats to working your way out of it!
- Comment on From Snoop Dogg to Lap Dogg 1 week ago:
Yup, same. I know some people that really seem to become less sharp with prolonged pot use. There is no free lunch, all drugs, when taken regularly, fuck you up. But, at the end we all die, so I’m going to enjoy a beer and a smoke every now and then. Just don’t make it a habit, and when in any doubt, do less or quit.

I just want a third arm, is that too much to ask? Imagine how many tasks would be easier with that.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 1 week ago:
Wasn’t that semi-standard to build large, sturdy buildings just some years ago? I swear “concrete with wood pattern etched on” was the background to all my high school memories.
- Comment on Why aren't you creating more workers?? 1 week ago:
Certainly not by letting these dirty foreigners in the country. Those wild people with their 50 kids… wait.

As I said, if 4k and high settings is worth the investment for you, sure, go for it, treat yourself. I am in no position to preach about ascetic life or anything. Eat out, go on holidays, buy a new gaming PC, life is short.
I cannot seem to find numbers on GPUs in particular, only marketing or AI bullshit “articles”. But smartphones seem to have a replacement cycle in western countries ranging from 1.5-3 years, depending on who you ask. And that is average, meaning that for every weirdo like me, who keeps their phones until they break, there are around three people who get a new phone every year.
That sounds pretty insane to me. Sure, new products are better. But I don’t want to own a better product. I want to play games, or in the case of smartphones, chat and doom-scroll on the go.

I mean, if a slight increase in visual fidelity is worth a couple hundred (if not thousand) bucks every year or two to you, then sure, treat yourself. But I don’t see the need to buy a slightly faster thing every year that basically will do the same as the old. And that’s before mentioning the resources used up for producing soon-to-be-ewaste or software bloat.
It is always the same story, cars, phones, computers, smart fridges… companies try to push people to buy the shiny new thing for obvious reasons. Companies trying to build products that last get out-competed. The line must go up.
- Comment on CQ: What's your amateur radio plans this coming weekend? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I just want to stay in contact with them, maybe get some local radio news. I am pretty lucky that there are a bunch of local chapters of which most seem to be nice people.
- Comment on CQ: What's your amateur radio plans this coming weekend? 1 week ago:
Probably just join the local vhf round, they are pretty chill people. Sadly, I don’t have much time
- Comment on Anon is a gamer 1 week ago:
We really need to get rid of this line-go-up mentality, because it translates directly into tech companies telling you to buy something new every few months. Phones, GPUs… Every time they can push for shorter replacement cycles, they will. Good on you to not cave in to the pressure, my 1050Ti still runs as great as day one for the games that I play since day one.

I did. Went hiking with a guy I met in an online game. Pretty nice dude, I have to do that again some day.
The thing is, you never know. FBI agent? Serial murderer? Normal person?

Fellas, is it gay to be a woman?

My (presumably) man, get better friends. If I can make a friend of mine feel better by listening to him, why wouldn’t I? I may not know what to say, but I would try my best. The saddest (on an inter-personal level, not as in “the world is going to shit”) thing I experienced recently was a friend of mine basically disappearing because of mental health issues. I think I understand why he did that, comparing yourself to others sucks, but I wish I could help him more than the occasional “hey, how are you doing?” when we randomly meet somewhere.

Beautifully said. I’m stealing this.
- Comment on Anon wants to be Truman 2 weeks ago:
You know, if all I had to do to live a guaranteed comfortable life was to rub one out in front of a camera every now and then, sure, sign me up.
- Comment on Anon shares a family moment 2 weeks ago:
Ouch. Hope you can find some happiness despite that. If only to spite the idiots.

I can only assume she spoke from experience

I think a few people here have to remind themselves:
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

- Comment on Anon goes on a diet 3 weeks ago:
Interesting perspective, thanks. I tend to get mostly tired and less social when hungry, which is a really bad combination when you are with people who get active and

I am curious if there is a language that calls a nail gun not a gun
- Comment on Anon tries running live USB Linux on his dad's computer 4 weeks ago:
I absolutely agree with you, disk encryption is mostly against someone physically taking your device. Phones and laptops? Absolutely, yeah. Desktops? I have some faith in my door lock, and if the cops show up, have fun with my steam library. Most of the data that is interesting for law enforcement is on people’s phones nowadays, like regular contacts, media, or message histories. If you encrypt your desktop, sure, by all means do it, but it should be opt-in, not opt-out (or don’t-opt-at-all, microsoft).
- Comment on Anon crunches some numbers 4 weeks ago:
maaaan…
Although, to be fair, without semi-modern medicine, I’d have died 2-3 times as a kid, and without semi-modern surgery, I’d at least be crippled as a result of being a stupid teenager.
- Comment on Anon crunches some numbers 4 weeks ago:
Wait, I am stupid. Does that mean that many men died, and only few procreated? And assuming the birth rates are the same, why wouldn’t there be women skeletons? After all, everyone dies, whether in a fist fight over who gets to have sex or of cancer at like 70?
