Yup. The further it goes, the more catastrophic “boom” will follow
- Comment on The Real Purpose of Wealth 💸 3 days ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised at all
- Comment on The Real Purpose of Wealth 💸 3 days ago:
May be we do. One thing that has been stuck in my head for a long while: I have something to lose, and I have people to care about, same as many others. So I am not running around killing every bastard. But - there are people who have nothing to lose, no family etc. - what about them?
The answer may be quite simple: even when they do punish some bastards, I do not get to hear about this, because guess who controls the media. Yes, it doesn’t cover “haven’t heard anything like it at all” - but making it “almost didn’t hear about it” for me is definitely possible
- Comment on LA is proposing a subway system for Dodger Stadium. This will allow people to commute from the stadium parking area to the stadium 1 week ago:
Uh-oh. Now I am starting to understand just how massively things are fucked there

That’s not the Floki I remember :) Image
- Comment on Damn straight! 2 weeks ago:
Exactly my feelings. Software dev, get paid more than many people who actually keep others alive, healthy, educated and comfortable. This is not how things should be

Damn good. Now I know how to name a language if I ever try to make one
- Comment on Just an idea 4 weeks ago:
Gave me an idea. I will now be waiting for Rust++

Why did you have to hurt me like this
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 2 months ago:
Wholeheartedly agree. We may not get to sit in the shadow of trees we plant, but it won’t stop us from planting them
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 2 months ago:
My bad, I have misread you. Feels good to see I am not alone in this, let the time be kind to you
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 2 months ago:
Then I’ve misread you, as “you have a decent shot to do it if you try hard enough”. World won’t change much because of me, but I will make sure to be a drop of change for the better
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 2 months ago:
Have enough unreliable cogs in the machine and it won’t do what you want. Yes, this is again a plan for long after we die, but doing something good is still worth it
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 2 months ago:
We can also somewhat break the undesired behaviour of the machine (be unreliable cogs). So yeah, a little freedom we have still
- Comment on Having to work during the apocalypse sucks 2 months ago:
Shure, changing the world will be hard as fuck and it could be years until you see any positive change
No. For people without needed capability (read: 99.(9) of all people on the planet) changing the world means “you will most likely die trying, and might amount to something, but may as well not”. And building said capability is again close to a full lifetime of work, if not more
- Comment on women 3 months ago:
Yup, I implied rape. Men usually do not worry about getting raped while going home late
- Comment on women 3 months ago:
Oh, so women do not get raped?
- Comment on women 3 months ago:
But we can trust something else: it is more scary for a woman to walk some poorly illuminated city street late at night than it is for a man. So nah, “these figures may not be true” does not negate “this trend does exist”
- Comment on Games you fell out of love with. 4 months ago:
Overwatch. Got into it several years back, before it became Overwatch 2. Nice gameplay, balanced and diverse characters, I loved it
Then comes realization thar matchmaking is fucked. Throwing someone who just installed the game into match between teams of players who have hundreds, if not thousands, hours in - that level of fucked
Then comes realization Blizzard doesn’t give a fuck about lore they themselves built. WTF is these skins for Mercy that look like anime teenage girl? She is over forty, if I am not mistaken, and has seen tons of shit as battle medic - that level of not giving a fuck
So… guess I am done with the game. I gave them years to come to their senses, but no more
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Damn that hurts. I hate how right you are, take my upvote
- Comment on 4 months ago:
Years for me. I spent years before realizing that I’m never getting a good matchmaker
- Comment on Are people still fooled by this dumb quiz's? 5 months ago:
IQ test measures how good you are at passing IQ test :)

Cats and dogs - absolutely. Humans are smelly:)

And then get text summary of the conversation. Sign me up for alpha/beta/whatever test any day
- Comment on Lol, lmao even. 5 months ago:
Sounds like I’ve heard that before :)
- Comment on Anyone in tech confirm? 5 months ago:
Definitely not everyone :) I am bad at agriculture, even worse at raising animals, so computer it is for quite a long while from now. But I would really appreciate an opportunity to just sit by the sea and stare at it for days on end
- Comment on Nintendo reportedly gets even more obnoxious about patent law by taking a 'mods aren't real games' stance against a Dark Souls 3 mod that could invalidate its Palworld lawsuit 8 months ago:
Yeah, games are not real either, they require compilation/interpretation of source code /s
- Comment on Randy Pitchford Snaps Back at Borderlands 4 Criticism: 'Code Your Own Engine' 8 months ago:
Lol. I bet he has no idea how many people actually can do that
- Comment on IF YOU TAKE ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE *THE PATTERN* BRO 8 months ago:
Exactly this. Thank you for spelling it out

Likely. We don’t know for sure. Come back for more later
