- Comment on Is there a point to the Straight Of Hormuz? What is the difference between the Iranians having it than the US? What does it mean for the average joe in either country? 1 week ago:
There is plenty of other goods being transported through the straight, not just oil. And if it were being closed permanently, oil tankers would just have to take the longer route and pollute even more

You can also run Hackintosh if you have a AMD gpu or older Intel integrated graphics

Try an ozone generator (but absolutely do your research on how to use it safely, inhaling ozone is very dangerous)
- Comment on Badge of Honor 3 weeks ago:
People looked at the source code. Presumably because of you tried to post something that’s blocked you just got an indescriptive error message, and they were trying to fix the “error” themselves
- Comment on How to summon a group of gym bros (100% working tutorial 2026) 3 weeks ago:
I have the same problem and just “borrowed” my mom’s old sewing machine to tailor my own clothes. It’s not as difficult as it sounds
- Comment on Times are tough - but i look faboo 3 weeks ago:
Tolerating the sensation of even moderate hunger is agonizing over long periods - if the choice is between that and getting fat, I’m getting fat.
That is perfectly reasonable and your choice to make. But don’t blame your lack of self control on cheap food
- Comment on Times are tough - but i look faboo 4 weeks ago:
You know nothing forces you to eat when you’re feeling hungry? The body is capable of sustaining itself off its fat stores, that’s what they’re for.
Yes, cheap food might be carb heavy and less satiating than expensive fresh veggies. But at the end of the day cheap food wasn’t the reason you got fat, your inability to deal with being hungry was

When sugar mamas are your only option to become a homeowner you have to put on the rizz

Does it count if you lose your virginity after you stop visiting 4chan?
- Comment on It's been a while since I was fired from my job, so here's a picture of Windows updating at the wrong time 1 month ago:
It really is a situation where you can’t make everyone happy. If you don’t force users to update eventually you get situations like WannaCry, where millions of PCs get hit by ransomware exploiting a vulnerability that was patched two months ago
- Comment on This is why we have two-factor authentication. 1 month ago:
it’s just a file though right? Couldn’t you rip it from the real server?
No, that’s not how TLS works. The certificate is not exposed to the internet unless the admins of the webserver are extremely incompetent. That would defeat the entire purpose, not only could you impersonate the server, but the encryption would also be futile since anyone would have access to the private key.
- Comment on This is why we have two-factor authentication. 1 month ago:
Only if the user ignores the “unsafe connection” warning in the browser, since you won’t have an SSL certificate for the domain

- Comment on Elon Musk taking delivery of his McLaren F1 shortly after selling Zip2 for $307 million in 1999 2 months ago:
The McLaren is a real drivers car, not a status symbol. At least when it was released, sadly it has become an overpriced collectors item today.
But I highly doubt Elon bought it because he was a car enthusiast and planned to drive it hard

Life as a gymbro. 😔 Everyone assumes we’re arrogant meatheads, but I swear most of us are really wholesome

Just your average dream when taking melatonin
- Comment on WOMEN. 2 months ago:
Yes, almost every sport where men are actually at an advantage allows women to compete in the “men’s” leagues as well. Only when they actually start winning against the men do the rules start excluding them
- Comment on Dating apps metaphor 2 months ago:
There is a big difference between having less children and none at all. Over 80% of women in Germany get children
- Comment on I still can't get over Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? 2 months ago:
On PC it’s also DRM-free, even the Steam version, not just the GOG version. So if one of your friends has it you can just copy it from them
- Comment on Dating apps metaphor 2 months ago:
Oh no, I’m absolutely looking for something long term. Just no luck yet
- Comment on Dating apps metaphor 2 months ago:
I’ve had plenty of dates and situationships, nothing long term ever
- Comment on Dating apps metaphor 2 months ago:
Is this some kind of American phenomenon? I’m very active on Tinder and get maybe one bot or scammer a year, out of over a hundred matches
- Comment on Engine auto-off 2 months ago:
Absolutely no reason for a module on the majority of cars, especially older ones. Buy a cheap generic OBD2 adapter, pirate the coding software for your specific manufacturer, and disable it in the ECU
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 2 months ago:
I think you replied to the wrong comment
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 2 months ago:
Why do they need a huge profit margin of profit is the money left over after they’ve paid their expenses?
Because if they were taxed on revenue, not profit, they would have a higher tax burden than their profit and go bankrupt
And why wouldn’t you want the same system for individuals?
If you could decuct all your expenses from taxes the only ones paying taxes would be people saving up their money
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 2 months ago:
How would this be trivial? They would have to completely disable trading marketplace items
- Comment on Data centers get tax breaks. Not you though. 2 months ago:
If you’re a “company” you get to offset money coming in with expenses and even in the most honest of systems only pay tax on the difference (i.e. the profits).
Taxing profits instead of revenue is sensible though, otherwise businesses with low profit margins would be impossible to run. Groceries would be twice as expensive since the supermarket would have to increase their profit margin by a huge amount to not go bankrupt
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 2 months ago:
Apple and Play store gift cards are a lot less valuable. With Steam gift cards it’s trivial to turn them back into cash. Just buy marketplace items (like Counter Strike skins) and sell them for cash
- Comment on Valve to no longer offer physical gift cards due to scammers 2 months ago:
Yes, they aren’t doing it out of the goodness of their heart. They are doing it to avoid liability
