  We have seen her mum. Case closed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A weight to bear⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve found that while shorter people often wish to be taller, tall women actually hate being made aware of their height. Even if it’s framed very positively.

  I think they’re aware that some people (idiots) think it makes you less feminine. Usually due to their own insecurities.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The average user doesn’t give a fuck about security. They use whatever manufacturers put in front of them because the alternatives are not known or reasonably available to them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Android updates: thanks I hate it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My dad bought a new tablet. I spent over an hour debloating it with ADB just to get it to a usable state.

  I really don’t know why people love their products. Even the performance out of the box is utter shit until you disable the virtual RAM.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Goo 2 is out now on Steam and a great pick for puzzle game fans⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is the soundtrack as good as the first?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's level scaling was a "mistake", says designer, so why is it in the remaster?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You call it unrealistic when that’s what every single one of my characters did.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump tells Canadians to Elect the guy who'll make them the 51st State of US [Canadian elections today]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But I thought we were pretending to care about states, not individual voters.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨World of Goo 2 is out now⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The first one holds up completely to this day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rectangle, AltTab, LinearMouse and noTunes off the top of my head. And homebrew underneath of course.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  pdfSAM. OBS. Veracrypt. A bunch of macOS usability tools that I am definitely taking for granted at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨zoomers are the new blooners⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For the past 5-10 years it would have been his Insta addy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you use your blinker in a car?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not just to drivers.

  There’s nothing more annoying as a pedestrian than a vehicle whose driver has seemingly decided to run into you because they 1) didn’t think to use their signals and 2) mostly just checked for car traffic until you’re right in front of their bumper.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨History never repeats itself but it rhymes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It just actually looks like shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Silksong release date confirmed for 2025⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t even see that. Just a few clips of her rants about other things she confidently knows nothing about, like a less incoherent Jordan Peterson.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People shit in Hossenfelder much more for her non-academic takes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Late 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The late 19th century?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Late 1900s⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s the late 20th century, or the 1990s.

  I’d take “late 1900s” as 1906-1910.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  DMs don’t worry me that much, but botted content, upvotes and comments would kill the platform like any other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump literally referred to himself as "King". Surely conservatives are against a monarchy forming?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And even then there was significant support for the nazis among influential white people at the time. America’s principled opposition to fascism has always been a retcon.

  Though while I don’t like how it completely blinds Americans to the dangers of homegrown fascism, I will say there are much worse stories to base a national mythology on. In that sense it was nice while it lasted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Unfortunately he’s following the playbook of people who do know how to do things and accomplish goals. And they were much better prepared this time than in 2016.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  YT assumes you’re always binge-watching. Which people often are apparently, and it’s good for retention.

  Just use your subscription tab, like we did in the olden days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I mean, that's literally the opposite of what I want⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Droid-ify is also great.

  WTF is that last search result though 🫣

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix bad... Shocker, I know⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but don’t ask me to share cake recipes. I’m not in the mood.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix bad... Shocker, I know⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Cheapass always-online locked down ad-riddled spyware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Netflix bad... Shocker, I know⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you experienced what passes for “an actual TV that plays Netflix” these days?

  Miss me with that shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Communism⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  True even if your movement has pure intentions and is run mostly by capable idealists, which is rare in itself. Power corrupts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨GOG reportedly suffering from staff turnover and poor management: “Current business model is likely running out of steam”⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Are they publicly traded?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Captain Disillusion: SNL VFX Mystery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In a dictionary a word can have more than one meaning and context matters.

  Precisely. Which is why you can make the case why the distinction is important to you, and why other people should care about and respect the more specific definition.

  But you didn’t make that case until after my prodding. You initially took the position that there’s exactly one valid definition and the other person was factually wrong. That is not conducive to your goal of convincing people of your position, it doesn’t represent the community position (which I factually agree with!) well to outsiders, and it rubs me the wrong way simply because it’s inconsiderate and self-centered.

  If you care about constructive discussion that others can meaningfully engage with and conveying your point properly, you need to be able to center other people’s perspective.

  This is about rhetoric and interpersonal communication as much as it is about dictionary definitions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Captain Disillusion: SNL VFX Mystery⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re deliberately missing the point. This isn’t about a community. The word “sceptic” has a generally understood meaning regardless of how the community feels about it, because the general public isn’t paying attention to what the community wants.

  You can either change your mind or stick to your beliefs despite the evidence.

  Word of advice, you should reconsider statements like this if you’re not trying to come off as a self-centered asshole.
