- Comment on is this something only introverts struggle with? 1 day ago:
I don’t think horning in on those conversations indicates that somebody is an extravert. An introvert might feel qualified and want to help, and/or might see it as an invitation to interact, and (lacking social experience) don’t understand that they’re intruding.
- Comment on Why are popes always really old? 1 day ago:
Same reason most CEOs of long-established companies are old. The only young religious leaders are in startup religions.
- Comment on Nintendo ‘warned to expect 145% tariff on Nintendo Switch 2’ 6 days ago:
Step 2: Nintendo doesn’t seem to GAF
Step 3: Trump says he’s open to talking with Nintendo
Step 4: Nintendo still doesn’t respond
Step 5: Trump cancels tariff, offers to buy Nintendo CEO lunch - Comment on Pens in Space 1 week ago:
The theme is to pretend recently-learned information was available half a century ago, and also to ignorantly inflate its importance. It turns out exposure to graphite dust in large concentrations can cause respiratory problems, but the amount of graphite emitted into the air by pencil use is insignificant, even in zero gravity.
- Comment on Pens in Space 1 week ago:
For decades this has been brought up to criticize wasteful spending, inaccurately. Fisher Price didn’t even develop the pen for NASA, it was just a sales gimmick, and NASA didn’t spend thousands of dollars on them. Space flight was getting a lot of publicity back then, so products that related themselves to space were popular, like Space Food Sticks - tootsie-rollish snacks supposedly full of protein and nourishment. To me they tasted too much like raw flour. “Energy” of course was a euphemism for sugar.

From the WGAF column.
- Comment on What would the USA look like if it had Referrendums/Initiatives on both the Federal and State level? 1 week ago:
Politicians would have to work a bit harder to do the bidding of their financial backers while pretending to pay attention to “the people”. But most of them would still do it.
- Comment on i can’t tell if this is edginess or mental illness? i hope she’s doing okay 1 week ago:
With such little information my only comment is that sometimes people who feel neglected go for shock value - deliberately saying things they hope will disturb someone enough to pay attention to them. This in turn can have roots that go in all sorts of directions. People are complicated and it’s really pointless to say here’s behavior A, it must have cause B. That’s why you know somebody is ignorant if they try to extrapolate your whole history and personality from an online comment.
- Comment on Are there any ongoing series you're watching currently that you're worried will be cancelled or quietly forgotten? 1 week ago:
Just found a really cool show called Firefly - anybody know when season 2 gonna drop?
- Comment on welp, Patreon just destroyed my stable income after a decade on the platform - what now 1 week ago:
Depends on what you do I guess. There’s always Kickstarter, or GoFundMe if you want to just outright beg for money. Or an actual startup. Or Etsy?
- Comment on American Truck Simulator is adding a road trip mode where you drive different vehicles, 'say, a powerful pickup or even a sports car' 1 week ago:
So, according to popular myth it’s really a penis size simulator!
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 1 week ago:
I’ve never understood how a simple hand motion can be beyond anyone’s skillset. It’s just part of driving.
- Comment on Wizardry 1 week ago:
Zoidberg’s distant ancestor. Or maybe recent, hard to tell.
- Comment on kawaiiiiiii 1 week ago:
I’ve heard of “wide-eyed” but this is ridiculous!
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 1 week ago:
Good point, I rant about winter all the time.
- Comment on Space Quarry 1 week ago:
And real quantum computers look like cheesy sci fi props.
- Comment on Space Quarry 1 week ago:
That shot is definitely creepy.

It is a sad state but it’s like the weather, you can complain about it or dress for it.

Aren’t all forces subject to the inverse square law?

- Comment on IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE 1 week ago:
That wouldn’t be a “doctorate” of divinity by any chance would it?
- Comment on logs are for quitters 1 week ago:
It’s a post about logarithmic scales LOL.
- Comment on Make gravity your bitch 1 week ago:
As a kid I used to have dreams that I could levitate by sort of straining my muscles upward and lifting myself away from the ground. It would be pretty cool to do that IRL.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 1 week ago:
It’s not that they “insist” on not answering, they just have limited reading comprehension and/or attention span. In the business world you learn to ask exactly one question in an email, and maybe if you’re lucky you’ll get an answer.
- Comment on 'There Are So Few Of Us Left': Even Full-Time Games Journalists At Big Websites Are Feeling It In 2025 1 week ago:
In any post-apocalyptic world the skinny guy on a leash used to be a games journalist, movie reviewer, or online influencer.

Holy crap, my only ambition was lovely parting gifts!
- Comment on logs are for quitters 1 week ago:
Okay but since you’re the one trying to make a point by saying that, it’s really up to you to add the cost and show that the results really do make whatever point you want to make.
