  I’ve literally only ever seen Political Compasses used as memes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is damned⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh duh. Forgot about Appendix D.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is damned⁩ ⁨⁨16⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you think he has sudo privileges or does he su in?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Now You Can Buy In-Game DLC And Pay It Off Later⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Or just don’t finance any non-essential purchase. The idea of financing anything smaller than a couple thousand dollars is just wild to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon listens to the radio⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t worry, that’s entirely on purpose to keep you listening.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What sort of grill needs a firmware update lol⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Having used these mice, you can get through the day with like a 2-minute charge, then leave it overnight to cover the next few months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨All downhill from there⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m kind of surprised considering there’s a massive mod scene. Not even with a custom difficulty mode?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cis friend does witchcraft⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If you actually practice Christianity, and really the majority of popular religions, in the way they are intended, they all sort of circle back to a lot of these same concepts. It’s when you start attaching material specifics to these intentionally abstract concepts and governing others based on those specifics that things get messy. A true follower of their religion is often not vocal about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes apple's practices⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I stand corrected. You learn something new every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨cis friend does witchcraft⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Mindfulness is its own reward and prayer, even to a rock, can help. It’s about surrendering and accepting that there is something in the universe that you have no power over.

  It’s not about believing the rock is alive or capable or changing things for you, but by simply reframing your desires as a universal one rather than an internal/personal one you can find yourself motivated in a different way and opportunities may present themselves differently.

  I’m also talking about the traditional concept of prayer, not whatever the fuck the Christian’s are doing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon describes apple's practices⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If everyone simply replaced the batteries on their phones, not using Apple’s service (even when they’re willing to do the work), then they probably wouldn’t be worth a trillion dollars.

  Hardware margins are tiny. Most companies, including Apple, don’t make their money on hardware. They make almost all their money on ad revenue, data collection, and subscriptions.

  Someone might get a new phone once every 1-2 years and make Apple ~$50-100 one time, if that, but they likely had to pay for an employee to sell it to you and for the store to be open for you to buy it.

  Compare that to the nearly 100% profit on every digital service you pay for, such as Apple Music/TV.

  I see it going one of three ways.

  1. Fake and gay
  2. The phone was beat to shit and Apple didn’t feel comfortable working on it
  3. Had a super old model that they no longer had parts in store for.

  Not defending Apple or anything, but hardware is often the last place a modern tech company makes a profit.

  They just work for IGN

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨riders on the storm⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I moved away from a state that has them. They’re so beautiful to watch over a big open field. Like stars that fill the ground to complete the sky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can anyone do the maths?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If I had to guess, probably since right around 2000.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Every summer be like this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Headphones are pretty much only a night shortened in the summer for me. And even then often on borrowed time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excel having a stab at dates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Listen. Let’s just do it simple. Everyone sync their clocks with mine right now. It says it’s 10:57 at the moment, but we’ll just subtract that in the future going forward. Ready? 3, 2, 1, Go! Now we know where 0 is, whew. Problem solved, scientists!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Doctor Debates⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I got the chance to see this live and some of those scenes should make you bright red around your parents. I can confirm this advice. Great show otherwise!

  What a heartthrob

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just had my gaming PC hooked up to my living room TV for the last several years. I have a lower power desktop on my room for anything that isn’t gaming. I can’t imagine buying one of the modern consoles just for their limitations alone.

  Plus I just wait a few years and 95% of the explained make their way to PC anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Poop In A Box⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That was not the loophole. That only applies to Sonny who was the only one capable of ignoring the 3 laws. The main computer (Vicky I think?) is the one who comes to the “we must enslave the humans to save the humans” conclusion all on her own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Having a big memory card was such a flex⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the first I’ve heard of this. We didn’t get our PS2 until a year or so after it came out. This would have driven me absolutely mad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I put these 2 pics of Tobey Maguire as Peter Parker together, can someone who's more clever than I am come up with with some captions?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Has this sort of vibe:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lies of P: Overture devs actually rewarded for making a solid DLC in rare industry W: Getting a bonus, 2 weeks vacation, and a free Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I agree with all of your points, but if we don’t even shine a positive light on steps in the right direction, then what are we supposed to do? Wait until we’re in a utopia, then start acknowledging improvements?

  This isn’t a perfect final solution, but it’s a positive step, so is still say worth celebrating.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is investigated⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Clearly, they’re deep into the crypto market. Untraceable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨we are not the same⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What in the ██████ is this?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have my consent to kill me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bam. Spot on. That makes for great storytelling. There’s even a sanity mechanic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You have my consent to kill me⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes all the difference between a good Call of Cthulhu DM and a bad one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck and SteamOS hit 20,000 playable games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But that’s just it. That fiddling isn’t something the dev probably accounted for, so it should be noted that the experience will be less than optimal. I think it still fits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people like Mario Kart?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been playing racing games ever since I was a kid but was never into Nintendo. I played everything from Crash Team Racing to Assetto Corsa and everything in between, but never own a Mario Kart game.

  Just in the last year my roommate picked up a Wii U and I played through 8. It doesn’t necessarily do anything that other racing games haven’t individually done better and there’s nothing truly unique.

  That being said, the one thing it does better than anyone else is precision and feedback. It is exceptionally tight and responsive compared to others like it. It’s also just incredibly well animated and visually consistent. The game still looks good a decade later, no issues.

  I would akin a lot of what Nintendo does to Apple. Not necessarily the first, or the most powerful, but almost always the most polished.
