Was this a luxury unit?
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 2 weeks ago:
Same, this is how I got frustrated by Hades. I no longer have endless time to sink into a game to get good.
- Comment on Which game is it? 3 weeks ago:
I remember that, Nexon?

The ‘remastered polygons’ lol… yeah. Slowly trying to get back to my ever-growing Steam library…

I recently got recommended her channel. She’s amazing, like Jenny Nicholson but for science.
- Comment on Anti-acknowlegements 4 weeks ago:
Well, at least in connection with her:
Coined by English philosopher and historian of science William Whewell in March 1834 in an anonymous review of Mary Somerville’s book On the Connexion of the Physical Sciences in the Quarterly Review

I appreciate her telling it like it is and not bowing to a pressure to please.

Hell yeah, bell hooks! Spot on recommendation.
- Comment on Am I the only one who feels uncomfortable about many Americans constantly calling people "black" and "white" and making such a big thing about it? 4 weeks ago:
Love how your reply is both respectful/compassionate and informative. Well done.

The two are often connected (aphantasia and SDAM) but not necessarily so. It’s also possible it’s not related at all, but I just wanted to bring it up since your experience doesn’t sound like what I usually hear as the norm from most people.
- Comment on Anon remembers summer 1 month ago:
My memory is like that too, extremely vague. Have you heard of SDAM (Severely Deficient Autobiographical Memory)?
- Comment on Anon remembers summer 1 month ago:
Journaling is also incredibly subjective, but there is nothing to beat firsthand experience from the moment itself. I’ve got a terrible memory and always wish I had a better habit of journaling so that I could actually remember things that happen…

I learned that, in Latin America, it is also the Day of Love and Friendship.

Got it, thanks for clarifying.

Makes sense, thanks!

Is that a Chubbyemu video or a knockoff?

I’d never heard of AdNauseam; does it replace uBlock entirely? Is it possible to run both?
- Comment on I would do this for just 1.99 1 month ago:
One of the main motivating factors for me to get a Lenovo.
- Comment on Anon finds a new way to get protein 1 month ago:
Cool resource, thanks for sharing! I was surprised that the old brand I used, which I thought was pretty good, was just “below average”, though now the one I’m getting is “above average”.
- Comment on Now I've got to run from the parking lot into work... 1 month ago:
I’ve got a shaker alarm clock + a phone alarm. Snooze is just too powerful on me…
- Comment on Anon finds a new way to get protein 1 month ago:
What exactly is this website? I’d never heard of it. It seems legit, but I’m curious about their sourcing.
- Comment on Now I've got to run from the parking lot into work... 2 months ago:
At the moment, no alarms even work for me on weekends. I’ve been waking up anywhere from noon to 4 PM…
- Comment on Now I've got to run from the parking lot into work... 2 months ago:
I want to try this but I’m paranoid I’ll just miss the only alarm.
- Comment on Anon visits America 3 months ago:
Yes, being sedentary hurts you. My point wasn’t about weight loss, just that the quality of ingredients and food in Europe is leagues ahead of the US. It is much worse for you nutritionally to eat refined, processed grains than it is to eat whole grains. Not to mention the amount of fresh produce…
- Comment on If you are a young person you have no idea how bad everyone and everything smelled until at least the 1990s. 3 months ago:
It’s been noticably bad after legalization. I don’t care if you enjoy weed, but you gotta admit there is a reason people compare its smell to skunks.
- Comment on Anon visits America 3 months ago:
The access to fresher ingredients and healthier food cannot be understated. Food is so much more processed in the US, even if you’re mainly cooking at home. Even the “ingredients” you buy at grocery stores are more processed.

Crazy that these places still exist, but I guess not that surprising.

That poor cat went through so much.

It’s decidedly worse for mental health. Despite living in the safest times in living memory, we are biased to think our cities are dangerous and economies are failing because of doomscrolling and the dominance of online news.

Well, now the streets just smell like weed instead.
