  Not the women who aren’t bitches, since it’s not directed at them.

  I got a question about hard drive sizes on a math test 15 years ago. Was super frustrating, since I didn’t know wether or not the person who wrote the test, knew the difference.

  It’s not black though, it’s orange, like their fascist messiah.

  God! Such a good experience. Looting half of school, hearing people all around you, just finding clothes and finally, an m16 with 30 bullets! Shit, but doable. Then getting fucking whacked by someone with a pistol who was hiding, terrified.

  All the useless stuff was a big part of the charm. You knew, no matter what happened, you were never really in control. You played the cards you were dealt, and sometimes the cards were just too shit, but at least you found a trenchcoat, so you looked baller while getting hunted.

  I quit for a while after they added bots, and tried again years later. It was just not the same.

  It’s a beautiful part of pc history, which I’m not convinced will ever happen quite like that again.

  Oh how I miss early access PUBG. Such an incredibly fun mess. Before all the bots, before everyone was one tapping everyone from across the map (singular), shit, even before the chinese cheat adds in voice chat during warmup.

  There’s not a lot of things I feel like I could’ve missed out on, but god damn am I happy I was playing PUBG from the start.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How It Feels Playing This Game Drunk⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Drunk gaming is one of the most fun and frustrating things. It’s a good way to test the risk of drunk driving without getting in a car.

  Shrinkage doesn’t hurt at all, unless you start pulling on the ballsack skin to stretch it again. That can hurt a little.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was he thinking?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  My best guess he thought it was empty, didn’t want to pick it up, so tried to cram it under the shelf with the pallet-whatever-it’s-called. Then felt betrayed that there was actually something in there like the idiot he is?

  I don’t respect people whose job title is “Sit in a room, and think about stuff”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cool Bug Fact #47⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because non-conciousness with no brain activity is pretty simply “nothing”. Nothing is going on in you, so what you must be experiencing is nothing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨chat gpt users be like⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s a matter of worktype. If people only use it for something where they don’t/can’t verify the result, like a search engine, they’ll assume it’s always correct, but if you use it for something where you don’t have a choice verifying it, like your example which is very easily visually checked, you get to see everything it fucks up.

  It’s also about workload. Give it something small that any idiot could do with a few google searches, like putting together a formula in Excel, it’ll likely do it without fucking it up 99% of the time. But something more complex with more parametres, will have a higher chance to fail spectacularly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve had it happen with a few Lenovo laptop chargers. Razer mice though, were especially bad at this 10 years ago. Haven’t owned a Razer product since then though, but I’d go through 2 cables per year because of this. Haven’t lost a single cable singe changing to other brands though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawful evil⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the restaurant doesn’t serve the same food as their neighbor, why would they lose money to them?

  A common example though: A McDonalds Big Mac costs costs about $5.99 in , in Denmark it costs about $7. But in Denmark the worker is paid a minimum of $21. On top of that, they get paid maternity/paternity leave. The worker pays 2% of their pay into their pension fund, while the restaurant pays 11%. They get paid sickleave, they get 6 weeks of fully paid vacation per year.

  If that’s possible for pretty much the same price of a burger, then the margins aren’t really as thin as you’ve been led to believe, but they make a hell of a lot more money by making you believe their lies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lawful evil⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m from Europe, so please explain, if workers don’t make any money, why the hell are they working in the first place?

  Seems stupid to keep working if you end up paying for the pleasure.

  I like it, but I would prefer if the government kept the share of the companies, transitioning the companies into government run entities over time, thereby having the production be owned by the people.

  Which I’ll give him, sounds awesome, just not with a bunch of rich cunts at the helm. It would be great if working was a choice, something you did because you find joy in doing it, like art, or masturbation. That will never happen as long as there’s an owning class who stand to gain as much as a penny from exploitation of the people.

  Hitler hated the communists, but sided with the Soviet Union until attacking them his next step.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Why should we just give up the entire month of November?" – The indie games going head to head with GTA 6⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I get your point, and it’s definately part of it, but what could possibly have been “spoiled” in gta 5? The story was predictable throughout and no story mattered in the heists or other multiplayer content.

  I can see a point in people wanting to be part of the conversation in the school yard though. However, there is absolutely no way I’m going to be talking about GTA by the watercooler at work…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Why should we just give up the entire month of November?" – The indie games going head to head with GTA 6⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Fomo is especially stupid for a game like GTA. I can sort of get it for the average meme game out there, you’re probably going to miss part of the fun if you’re not playing when everyone else is, but GTA is unfortunately not shutting down anytime soon. It’ll continue to milk its customers for the next decade and a half.

  Couldn’t we just have an orbiting refueling station though? Seems to me like it would be even more efficient.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Half my day’s pay goes to filling up my car now’: diesel crisis ripples across Britain⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The 70’s oil crisis was the start of Europe demanding better fuel efficiency of their cars, and better heat efficiency in their homes. This crisis will likely make people switch to electric cars, the ones who can’t afford to, will need to use public transportation. It could also very well result in less long distance transportation of goods, since they’ll become more expensive.

  I’m not psychic, so I don’t know everything that will happen, but it’s not far fetched that oil prices are getting so high, oil fueled power plants will become too expensive to run…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Half my day’s pay goes to filling up my car now’: diesel crisis ripples across Britain⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I know it sucks for a lot of people, but just like the oil crisis in the '70s, this will be positive in the long run.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ed Sheeran’s latest foot in the mouth moment…⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But instead of a gun, he’s holding a bag of money. It must be really hard for a grammy award winning musician who is only worth hundreds of millions of dollars, who just wants to sell his music to everyone, including genocidal pieces of shit.

  This is about er rich person, trying to play both sides, in a game of genocide. He doesn’t deserve your sympathy. He cries on stage, because he wasn’t succesful, not because he’s sorry.
