I’d never really connected my lack of a mind’s eye with my inability to follow unnamed characters through a movie until you just said that. 🤯

I’m probably about a 4, maybe 3.5, on this scale. It kinda sucks not having any idea what it’s like to actually be able to visualize things, so I don’t even really know what I’m missing.
- Comment on PetSmart won't let you leave a review if you have adblockers on 1 day ago:
Of course. This makes perfect sense. How would you have anything relevant to say about the product if you haven’t been advertised at in the past twelve seconds?
- Comment on What OS does the Batcomputer use? 2 days ago:
That’s a Unix system. I know this.
- Comment on Rebecca Heineman, grandmother of modern gaming, has passed away 1 week ago:
A non-insignificant portion of my life has been spent enjoying code that she wrote and games that she developed. Rest in peace.
- Comment on The amazing and innovative iphone pocket sold out 1 week ago:
That’s the ugliest purse I’ve ever seen.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Yes, but that’s a different sale. My point is it can still be considered a loss leader if they sell it at cost. It took them many millions to develop it, so overall they would be losing money on the hardware sales.
That’s as opposed to something like Costco’s hot dogs. There was no R&D there, so if they sold it at cost, I wouldn’t consider it a loss leader.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 week ago:
Even if they sell at cost, they’re losing money because of the R&D costs.

He has stated as much, so, yeah.
- Comment on What are some free & open source fonts designed for or comissioned by brands? 2 weeks ago:
Greatest font family ever. Each one is like at least top five in their category in my opinion.
- Comment on Sliced off the tip of my thumb, what are some good one handed games? 2 weeks ago:
Turn based RPGs would be good. You could use the controller one handed. Especially things made for game boy, since there aren’t a lot of buttons.

Plant?

The only ethical thing you can do with $1 billion.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: “Working from home makes us thrive” 4 weeks ago:
This has been correct for all of human history. I’m not sure why anyone would have assumed the invention of the cubicle would have changed this.
- Comment on You're so predictable 4 weeks ago:
Because million would be incorrect.
- Comment on Microsoft's decision to axe Windows 10 is driving Apple PC sales growth — users buy Macs instead of AI PCs despite Microsoft’s push for Copilot+ PCs 4 weeks ago:
You mean having an AI watch everything you do isn’t a good selling point?
- Comment on You're so predictable 4 weeks ago:
I did a cursory glance at the groups to see that it was 428 rnillion, so I think that’s enough.
- Comment on You fool 4 weeks ago:
And when you’re incorrect.

Fuck man, I’ve been looking for a place to get a good opstume.
- Comment on Everything has a bit of overlap 4 weeks ago:
To a physicist, sure. To the lay public, observe means you’re watching it. If you’re looking away, you’re not observing. When in reality, it doesn’t matter who’s looking, if the particle is interacting with other particles, it’s being “observed”.
- Comment on plump pumkins 4 weeks ago:
Mass. Whatever. :P
- Comment on Everything has a bit of overlap 4 weeks ago:
I’d like to nominate Observer Effect for the Worst and Most Confusingly Named Thing Ever award.
Funny meme though.
- Comment on plump pumkins 4 weeks ago:
Well, I doubt they can get larger than earth, so I’d say it’s somewhere between 3,000 lbs and earth’s weight.
- Comment on Researchers show that training on “junk data” can lead to LLM “brain rot” 4 weeks ago:
Just like humans.

Yeah. It won’t damage it with static electricity or physical contact. Unless you’re using some really powerful air pressure.
- Comment on Donors for Trump’s $300m White House ballroom include Google, Apple and Palantir 4 weeks ago:
The Epstein Ballroom?
- Comment on Blood Moon Bones 4 weeks ago:
Ridiculous unachievable AI generated beauty standards.
- Comment on AWS crash causes $2,000 Smart Beds to overheat and get stuck upright 4 weeks ago:
Not that it isn’t wildly ridiculous and stupid to have an internet connected bed, but couldn’t you just unplug it if it’s overheating?
