That looks delicious. I wanna try.

Poison… Metal… Isn’t that just mercury with extra steps?
- Comment on Anon is a good samaritan 1 week ago:
Sounds like a really impressive dad. :)
- Comment on Let's discuss: Monster Hunter 1 week ago:
People have tried to get me into Monster Hunter several times, with little success. There’s just a lot of work involved.
Lots of crafting and farming, and once you’re ready, the fight itself is a lot of work. It takes a long time due to large HP pools.
There are a zillion builds, and the story isn’t exactly deep enough to engage me despite the shortcomings. To me, it’s basically Elden Ring, but with the aspects I don’t like turned to 11.

Aw, that’s sad. :(
- Comment on Anon is a good samaritan 1 week ago:
My condolences for your father. That sounds like a lot of years to live through a really bad situation for everyone involved. :(
Thanks for the extra info on DNR. I think I understand now.
- Comment on Anon is a good samaritan 1 week ago:
I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it isn’t a thing in some countries but … Come on. :(
- Comment on Anon is a good samaritan 1 week ago:
Man, money matters further complicating literal life-and-death situations. I hate this.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 1 week ago:
I’d have expected ad providers to catch on pretty quickly that there’s cheating involved, no?
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 1 week ago:
I think that’s right for a website where you accidentally clicked an ad and now it’s trying to convince you you have a virus and you need to download their virus to remove it. Or maybe for an ad pop-up where annoying you might increase the chances that the content makes it into your brain.
But for a news website i have trouble seeing the logic.

I don’t really understand DNR. Why not get medically assisted suicide? Or heck, just end your own life?
Seems better than dying a painful, gradual death as your organs shut down from cancer or something.

I live in Quebec. Our ambulances cost money too. Although they’re less expensive than American ones (about 200 CAD).
And yeah, literally everyone thinks that’s stupid.
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 1 week ago:
Lots of stores prohibit this because they’re afraid it might make stealing easier. But not all of them!
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 1 week ago:
I’ve always wondered. Is there really a benefit to a ton of redirects like that? Like, do they gain anything by making it harder to back out?
Or is it just extremely incompetent website programming?
- Comment on Thank you! 1 week ago:
I’m surprised that happens! Seems like a complicated mistake to make.

If I order an Americano and you serve me a filter black coffee, I swear …

I thought stars of similar masses were also of similar sizes. They’re not?
- Comment on Anon doesn't like reddit 1 week ago:
That’s cool in principle, but what if I actually want help?
- Comment on Anon doesn't like reddit 1 week ago:
Well I said Google but ideally that would be “a healthy market of several competing quality search engines”.
Right now I think we only have Google and Bing. (Lots of alternatives like DuckDuckGo ultimately use Google I think)
- Comment on Anon doesn't like reddit 1 week ago:
It’s increasing taking up the role of one. And I’m sad about it.
I might stop being sad if its forum features become more used and Discord massively improved discoverability, but for now it sucks for people googling problems.
- Comment on Checkmate 2 weeks ago:
I kinda wish we’d kept the name chariot. It sounds more epic.
- Comment on Anon doesn't like reddit 2 weeks ago:
It’s an excellent chat program (except it’s pretty buggy on mobile). But it doesn’t function well as a forum replacement. The lack of discoverability is a big problem.
- Comment on Anon wants to go to Nuuk 2 weeks ago:
What do you mean everywhere? I’ve never seen that in Canada.
- Comment on Checkmate 2 weeks ago:
Sorry. Did a direct translation of the French name without thinking.
- Comment on Checkmate 2 weeks ago:
I’d never questioned it before now, but … How come the towers move? Who had that idea?
The jesters moving diagonally because they’re whimsical I guess but the towers are quite odd.
- Comment on Anon wants to go to Nuuk 2 weeks ago:
Are HOAs even a thing outside of the US ? I know I’ve never seen that concept here in Canada at least.
- Comment on the number of spam calls i've received since i started using this sim card 2 weeks ago:
Oh spam email I absolutely get a lot of. But spam calls, thankfully, are a relatively rare occurrence.
- Comment on Nature is beautiful 2 weeks ago:
It took me an embarrassingly long amount of time to get it.
In case you don’t get it: autism and autumn are similar words.
- Comment on the number of spam calls i've received since i started using this sim card 2 weeks ago:
Holy shit, I thought people were exaggerating when they said spam calls had gotten out of hand. I didn’t think it was that bad.
- Comment on Balls 2 weeks ago:
Did they seriously use the same brand they use for phones?!
