- Comment on Frying chicken? Taking a leak? It's a mystery. 🤔 18 hours ago:
Amusing thing about this. Women do tend to pee more loudly and my trans brain for whatever reason was dysphoric about it. Post surgery though because of the shorter urethra, wider opening, and general angle of everything, I’m happily peeing like I’m frying pork chops

Are they finding the person who decided to test the edibility of the corpse nest?
- Comment on vivipary in tomatoes 4 days ago:
This would happen to me sometimes with home grown tomatos. Maybe it in part has to do with store bought are usually picked under ripe so they survive getting to the shelves? Or could be whatever mystery variety I was planting
- Comment on British children are 3 times more likely than Dutch children to be obese. A British journalist explains why 5 days ago:
And for them there is the one line, street cars, and busses that elderly and disabled people regularly use. Literally every grocery store I know of in Seattle has a bus stop within a block of it and all but like 2 are on flat ground. I feel like I’m going crazy am I missing something about what counts as walkable?
- Comment on British children are 3 times more likely than Dutch children to be obese. A British journalist explains why 5 days ago:
I don’t think that’s the gotcha you think it is? What do you call a 6+ hour walk, a casual stroll? You have to bring water and food when you’re out for that long doesn’t matter where you go which is why I called it a hike. I can walk for 6+ hours in Seattle and be in walkable neighborhoods the entire time with proper sidewalks, shops, parks, and near transit to head back if I don’t feel like continuing to walk
The least walkable topography is near downtown where you have the one line, streetcars, and busses. There are several transit options to get in, out, and around the downtown hills; hell the monorail is still running if you are feeling fancy. Outside of downtown you have the one line that’s being expanded every day with busses leading out from it’s stops. I won’t say Seattle has it perfect or is the best but it is undeniably one of the better US cities for walking and they’re actively working to improve it in several ways

Most of Seattle is readily walkable, I’d often go on basically hikes through the city taking 6+ hours. There’s definitely a few places that are difficult to get from one area to the next but individual neighborhoods and most the connecting areas are solid for pedestrians and bikes. Denver though holy fuck I’ve never been somewhere less walkable it’s a disaster there

So many fond memories of Halo 3. That and Halo 2 are the only shooters I’ve ever really liked and there was always something special about hanging out in person to play them

- Comment on Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US? 1 week ago:
There’s also the feedback loop where they point at the broken underfunded public services and are like “see how shit public services are? They’re a waste of taxes. We could gut them to save you money”
- Comment on Video game PEGI age-ratings are changing in Europe from June. Four new categories added to tackle elements of addictive design, unmonitored online communication and loot boxes 1 week ago:
Basically the whole game lol. But off the top of my head a specific example is fishing crates are loot boxes. I don’t think it falls under the same category as being addictive as a core design choice or for money though it’s just legit an amazing game with a gameplay loop that draws you in
- Comment on Put the shoes on 1 week ago:
As someone who would routinely go around Seattle naked on my bike this is 100% true. Something about shoes and a helmet feels way more naked than actually naked

Reverse image search I found somewhere saying they’re Grenadine apples. But there are several types that are pink in the middle. My personal favorite apple ever are Lucy Glo which are also pink 🩷

Gets even more fun when you move to another country and are coordinating calls back home and realize different countries have different days they switch the clocks
- Comment on Arc Raiders was accidentally recording Discord conversations into an unencrypted local game file 2 weeks ago:
This shit is why I only use discord on the browser and try not to directly link any accounts anywhere. Anything sniffing around my executables and talking between them is sketchy. Anything asking for access to my other accounts is sketchy

Smell is a big part of attraction for me and the two places you can get the best smell of a person are pits and bits
- Comment on Finally a possible path toward peace in this long war 3 weeks ago:
Do you have a source on it being the very first? I’m seeing one that came out in March 2016 which certainly makes it early but far from being the very first one
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 3 weeks ago:
Living in Seattle there weren’t like extreme weather swings but there are days where you get to see several types of weather softly cycle through. Sometimes in the winter I’d get snow and rain and sun and fog all in a single day, or days where I look in one direction and it’s rain and can’t see the sky and look the other direction and it’s blue skies and sun. Seattle has such stellar rainbows because of this

- Comment on Anon enjoys the little things 4 weeks ago:
You should try an apple stand in a Seattle farmers market. A dozen kinds of apple each more amazing than the last. A good apple stand’s okay apples are several times better than the best grocery store apple

I’m from the US and say tuna fish for canned tuna, just saying tuna can be sushi or like frozen fish. The US is huge it’s probably regional

Post op MTF chiming in: There’s something magic about being tits out that balls out can’t compare to but letting ones snatch breath free overnight is a peak I never knew could exist
- Comment on Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' 1 month ago:
I am a programmer and I do not use AI, I’m going to school with some programmers who also do not use AI (some do some don’t). I don’t need luck to find like minded people.
- Comment on Anon wants to talk about video games 1 month ago:
That’s mostly because of programmers not autism, not all of us coders have autism. I mean I do, and I play Factorio, but these are all unrelated. I’m also trans and use Arch btw but those are irrelevant
- Comment on Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' 1 month ago:
I’m working towards starting my own indie studio. Games are made for people to experience people emotions and it takes a person to be able to understand them in a way that can be accurately conveyed. When I make my studio there will be no generative AI, not in the product not in development. Probably there is a way to use it to streamline some stuff and I’d argue it’s difficult but possible to use it ethically but why the fuck would I want a computer to do my art for me? Why would I want to rob myself or my team of the opportunity to express themselves to other humans?
I made an AI generated cupcake recipe a while back. It was fine, it covered the bases, ratios were more or less correct, if someone were to give me one I’d eat it and not complain. But it was a technically correct cupcake not a good cupcake. It had no love, you could tell it had no love. People joke about that but it’s a real thing there’s something extra humans can do that AI can’t yet and maybe never will be able to, or not in a way humans relate with well. We’ve known how to make games with no love for a while now, that’s capitalism, but AI let’s us freeze dry the love out of everything at scale and the companies behind them are telling us that’s a good thing. Fuck that I’m not buying into it. I don’t make games for money, I barely make games for other people, tbh it isn’t even that fun most the time, I make games because it’s what makes the most sense to me for self expression. Games are what I know how to pour the most love into and an AI won’t help me with that.

I wonder if taking up running would help speed up that process?

- Comment on Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry? 1 month ago:
I don’t think it’s uncommon but anecdotally the only people I know personally that have that are also diabetic. I’m not a doctor but if it were me I’d at least keep an eye out for other signs just in case
