- Comment on I will never unsee the penis on my sons $0.50 sandal 15 hours ago:
It’s upside down, it’s not supposed to be seen that way. Plus it’s obviously a heart with a health meter, even recognizable while upside down. It’s also made for kids who should be innocent enough not to have minds to recognize that sort of stuff. And it was $1, so you can’t expect the best quality or thought placed into every area and how things might appear to redesign. It’s most likely made in a sweat shop by kids in some south Eastern Asian country.
I’m not sure what’s mildly infuriating? It’s not like someone intentionally designed it that way.
- Comment on Why do people hate the Kardashians? 1 week ago:
Depends on who you ask, but I think the biggest reasons:
- they seem to have contributed to making people dumber indirectly. You see a lot of street videos of people asking questions like where is this state or that country and they can’t answer those questions but they can tell you almost anything about the Kardashians. Because of that, some people hate the Kardashians.
- they’re rich and have no worries. On one hand, you have some people who hate for jealousy and others who think it’s gross how rich these people are.
- the reason why they’re famous. On the one hand, the late father was one of the lawyers in the OJ Simpson case, but the real reason for their more recent fame comes from Kim doing a sex tape and getting famous off that. To some people, that’s gross and a stupid reason to be famous compared to someone else who finds a cure or does work in the community or just someone who actually worked for their fame like a movie star or famous writer.
- the Kardashians are kind of a nasty bunch of divas. I mean, if you have seen some of the clips, you can see that most of them are not really good people who care about other people but themselves and their fame. And the people they’re connected to aren’t the greatest people either which speaks more about who they are as a family.
- the fact that they are famous at all. To some people, it pisses them off that the Kardashians get a spotlight at all.
- scandals. Caitlyn Jenner is an extension of the family but the accident and death resulting from it and barely a slap on the wrist is worth hatred from some people. Scandals like those are among the family. You also have conspiracy theories like what happened to Lamar Odom’s death and some thinking they had something to do with it.
A whole lot of possible reasons depending on who you talk to.
- Comment on Marshall's new on-ear headphones look like a guitar amp and feature ANC 1 week ago:
Yeah I noticed that, especially with the noise canceling feature that doesn’t seem present on the older, cheaper model.
- Comment on Where are you supposed to put your eyes when you're not using them? 1 week ago:
I had the same “problem” and I’ve learned to just ignore those people. We were just being bored/curious which is natural for humans.
I think it’s older generations who were abused and trying to pass that off onto us as well.
Which is funny because staring at someone is rude. So either you be rude and stare at someone or you stare off into the void and let your mind wander.
I still do it. I don’t give a fuck.
- Comment on PlayStation boss says single-player games won’t come to PC going forward | VGC 1 week ago:
Well he’s wrong because all console games eventually come to PC one way or another. He’s just ensuring they won’t be coming first under their control.

I hear a lot of good things about Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon. I have yet to really play it but it does have that feel to it form what little I played.
- Comment on Videogame pirates tell other pirates to shut up about it after Subnautica 2 developers are taunted with illicit copies 2 weeks ago:
The first one was weird with VR because it worked very well at first and then broke later in its release. I was using a Windows MR headset which wasn’t officially supported but it worked, and their responses to players like me was “well it’s not supported so, tough luck.”
But like…it worked. Why not try to figure out what changed to break it?
But even last time I tried with my Meta headset, which I think should be supported, it’s the same behavior where it’s like you’re floating above the menu and you can’t actually play the game.
- Comment on Moss, One of VR's Best Series, Is Being Un-VR'd and Brought to PC and Consoles 2 weeks ago:
The Steam Frame has a good chance of changing that like the Steam Deck did for handheld computer gaming. Partly because it bridges the gap between PC gaming and handheld gaming because the early Rift and Vive were strictly PC based which excluded people who didn’t have the best gaming rigs and these headsets weren’t cheap either. And then Meta comes along as does Pico but they focus on handheld gaming which is cheaper but doesn’t allow the best graphics or long term games, more mobile style games than anything else.
But the Steam Frame has a chance to make a better bridge between the two since it is a PC at its core and runs Linux and doesn’t need a dedicated PC to play games.
I’m optimistic, anyway.

- Comment on New York lawmakers endorse Governor's plan to reduce car insurance premiums by making it harder for crash victims to seek compensation 2 weeks ago:
Okay so you get the promise of cheaper premiums for now….
Insurance companies of all types are greedy as fuck. This is temporary. This will get increased in the next 5 years, and I’m being conservative with that number because these slimy fucks will likely be trying to increase prices the next day after this goes into effect.
Supposedly you’ll get a cheaper premium today at the cost of not being reimbursed to make you whole tomorrow. So what happens when these same companies come back and want to increase your premium by $10? Are you now going to make parties whole by the same percentage? Likely not. And the cowardly government is just going to let them step on the public again.
And how does this work for out of state drivers in New York? You get into a wreck and you’re just fucked despite supposedly paying more than a New York driver who hit you?

- Comment on Why do old people's farts smell either like decomposition or sickly-sweet? 2 weeks ago:
I imagine a good chunk of it is due to the various medications they take. Whereas most younger people don’t take the same types of medications or in combinations.

- Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery? 5 weeks ago:
I think distance may be one of the biggest reasons why.
There’s a Papa John’s that is in my city but too far for their actual drivers to deliver to me, but those delivery apps list it as being a place that I can order from and get to my address. So while Papa John’s won’t let their drivers deliver to me, the delivery apps don’t have the same restriction.
- Comment on Whats a good etiquette to show you are doing a U turn in a left turn, so the cars behind you know? 5 weeks ago:
If I can’t make a U-turn completely, I don’t try to make it. I’ll go up until I find a place where I can like a dedicated left turn lane that does have enough space to do a U-turn or I find a driveway/business where I can safely do one, making sure no cops are nearby to ticket me if it illegal.
Or I’ll do the 3 left/rights to perform an alternative to a U-turn if it’s that busy of a city/town which can effectively get what you want in a different way. Takes a little bit extra, but is worth it to avoid a ticket or an accident.
- Comment on MOUSE: P.I. For Hire releases on Steam 1 month ago:
I’ve been playing for about 45 minutes so far and it has met my expectations for sure. First game I’ve bought on day 1 in a long time. Reasonable price + original idea + good features + reasonable requirements are such a rarity nowadays except in indie titles. This game plays at 60 fps on medium (good graphics and rarely dipping below 53 fps) on my Steam Deck. It’s fluid and flows great. I am enjoying the gameplay a lot. Feels like a classic shooter on the level of classic Bioshock and Doom with a great art style and atmosphere.
- Comment on The person who mounted a spice rack into the fucking studs so a fridge won't fit there 1 month ago:
When I bought my home, the fridge had a big ol burn spot on the side of it from the stove being right next to it lol. That’s probably what people may be referring to. I never use those two burners because of that despite getting a new stove and fridge since moving in just seeing that. Also the refrigerator sides will naturally get hot/warm as they expel heat from normal operations, so putting it next to something that is hot can be somewhat counterproductive for that too. Not going to cause it to overheat, but may not be the best position if you can help it. Kind of like how you wouldn’t want to put a heater positioned near your gaming PC if you want the best possible performance.
- Comment on Can I still bypass Microsoft account creation when reinstalling windows through the "reset this PC" option? 1 month ago:
I just set up a Windows 11 PC this week for testing (did it through a USB installer upgrading from Windows 10 Pro) and I was able to use the bypass OOBE/BYPASSNRO in command prompt and was able to create using a local account. I kept it offline without connecting to the internet during setup into getting to the desktop. This was using the latest Windows ISO on Microsoft’s website.
Safe to say, I think it still is doable even going the reset method in Windows. Just keep it offline during initial setup.
- Comment on Why is 'Philippines' spelled with a PH, but 'Filipino' is spelled with an F? 1 month ago:
I knew a Pilipino family that seemed to pronounce it both ways.
I tend to think it’s due to those around them. Like this kid I knew from school who came from the UK; with us as his friends, he had an American accent like the rest of us. But as soon as he talked to his parents or his sister, he had this heavy English accent. He seemed to be aware of it but had no control over it.
- Comment on Why is the first thing the internet says whenever a relationship post comes up is: "Red Flag"/"Break Up"/"Divorce"/"Don't Walk, Run"/"Go No-Contact"/"Let them die in a nursing home"/etc... 1 month ago:
Many stories are heavily one sided. We only ever get one person’s side of the story and that person experienced it in one way and often doesn’t take the other person’s side into account. Not necessarily because they’re a bad person, but because that’s just how humans are. We don’t often put ourselves in someone else’s shoes and look at the situation differently or can always give someone else the benefit of the doubt.
“My boyfriend left last night without saying goodbye which he never does so obviously this means something is wrong.” When in reality, he did say goodbye, but we just couldn’t hear it over the sound of the TV in the other room. Everyone hearing the story agrees that is weird behavior and jumps to the worst conclusion along with the OP.
And then it just being the internet, people often go to the extreme on things and everyone has their own perspective from their own experiences and cultures around the world. One guy hears a story of a woman going out with her friends and he remembers how his girlfriend from years ago used to do that and she was actually cheating on him, so of course his trauma has him viewing that story through his own lens and going to the worst possible conclusion.
People forget details which can make things sound worse than they are, or they just forget to include some things that don’t always seem relevant which can greatly impact how a situation actually unfolded and give others the wrong idea. “We had an argument last night about something stupid that he’s jealous of me hanging out with my girlfriends”, neglecting to mention that he has a valid reason because you were doing some suspicious things years ago in this same way. Anyone hearing the story from your point of view is going to conclude you are the victim there without that additional context you neglected to include.
And then it just is how it is. What other advice can people realistically give? Stay with them is the only other alternative most people can muster up. Beyond that, go to therapy and that’s it. No one really has much else to offer in the way of sympathy and judgment. No one realistically knows how to navigate someone else’s relationship and all its unique dynamics, let alone their own relationships and all the variables life throws at them. We often only ever think a situation only has two options and nothing else, “break up or stay together”.
- Comment on Is a video streaming co-op a useful idea? 1 month ago:
I’d like this. There’s always some obscure movies you can’t get that someone else may have that aren’t yet on torrent sites.
It took me over a decade to find Who Made the Potatoe Salad until it finally popped up on some torrent site a few years ago. Would have been nice to have this for that and to share some of my obscure movies too. I have a wide collection still just sitting on my shelf since it’s all digital now.
- Comment on What's wrong with Ellen DeGeneres? 1 month ago:
She’s been outed as not being the nice person she appears to be on TV. There was a big controversy a few years ago that some of her crew had a lot of stories about her behaviors behind the camera that show that she wasn’t such a nice person to the people who helped make her show a reality.
I don’t remember specifics, but it’s not hard to find if you go looking for videos or articles on it. From what I remember, it was the typical diva sort of behaviors like don’t look her in the eye and being rude to others. Nothing too too serious like sexual assault but still not nice stuff and people view her as a phony since.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
Agreed, this is classic for that. Even a perfectly scanned document into OCR almost always has errors. I have set it up for a lot of people and I always stress that you need to go in and review what got scanned because there has never been a time I have seen it get everything spelled correctly or in the right format as it was.
Same as AI. Anything you get from an LLM should be reviewed. Too many people just blindly trust whatever gets spit out without ever reviewing.
- Comment on And no paper towels to use on the handle 1 month ago:
I know the pain, but both of those touchless options always suck. The water never stays on or doesn’t turn on unless you motion in one specific weird spot that’s either too close or too far away. And those dryers never dry your hands well enough. I’m grateful they never had touchless doors in the same way.
Though I have seen newer foot style doors that have a small piece of metal at the bottom you can “grab” and pull open.

- Comment on what do you think is the future of the internet and tech in general? 2 months ago:
Personal computing is being chipped away and the goal seems clear to force everyone into cloud computing or something similar to it in the very near future.
Both businesses and governments benefit from this move.
Businesses want control over your data and what you can and cannot do. Allowing you to use open source projects causes too much disruption to their business models to continue to allow that. SaaS is a much better model for them to continue to grow and maintain their presence over your choices and wallet and wall you into their garden and this would allow them to do that indefinitely in some cases. Even for gaming companies like Nintendo, it would be best for everyone to only ever use approved hardware. Allowing emulators is a hit to their goals and if a business like Microsoft owns the virtual computer you use, then they can refuse to allow emulators to run on their computers used for cloud computing at Nintendo’s request, whether willingly or by force.
The exception I see to that is a business like Apple that relies heavily on selling you new hardware as often as they can. Just one more device and also ensuring you stay up to date with the latest hardware. I’m not exactly sure how a business like theirs benefits from the reduction of personal computing, but they’re not doing much to fight these advances. Perhaps they see themselves selling us the hardware clients that serve no other purpose than to connect to the virtual computers.
Governments like it because businesses cave to their demands. Damn be the Constitution and other laws that purposely limit their overreach into your life. They just get the company to do it for them and override your freedom to choose. See covid and ICE. Both political spectrums are doing it for different reasons but likely with the same common goal at the end of the line.
Shortages like the RAM and GPU shortage greatly favor this push and causes consumers to view cloud computing in a more favorable light. At least, that’s what they hope for, but it’s difficult to do that when cloud computing and AI are the reason you’re lacking new hardware and it’s not for another more justifiable reason.
It seems inevitable at this point as they keep trying to force it.
