- Comment on Why not just move to a gated community 16 hours ago:
Gated communities were originally invented to keep black people out. Simple as that.
- Comment on Nothing’s new bloatware includes Facebook services that can’t be uninstalled 1 week ago:
Nothing says ‘I’m shitty’ more than naming yourself ‘Nothing’.
I mean…that’s an odd take. Don’t know how someone could be so upset over the name of a company, but hey let that anger out.
Oh, wait, using meta/facebook makes you even shittier.
I mean, no arguments there though.

So I’ve been holding onto my OnePlus 6T because it was the closest thing to a Nexus after they destroyed it and migrated it into the Pixel program.
I’ve been eyeballing Nothing for a while now, but it looks like before I could even get one, they’re already off the market for me.

Viral infections don’t last over the course of several months.

If you think I’m arguing for them, I’m not.

No, they put in a lot of money for these office buildings, and they’re sitting unused. They have leases they still have to pay.
- Comment on Snip snip 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but almost every viral infection I’ve ever had…comes with bacterial infection as an additional “feature”
- Comment on Snip snip 2 weeks ago:
It helps with the bacterial infection that I get and my sinuses are BLOODY RAW from sniffling for the last week!
- Comment on i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too 4 weeks ago:
My daughter is kind of becoming a horticulturalist and recently taught me that sumac (there are non-poison varieties) can make something akin to lemonade if you dip the berries into water and then filter the water back. They have a citric-acid-like outer shell that dissolves in water.
And we’ve eaten so many mushrooms and stuff - thanks to communities on the internet who have categorized lookalikes, where to steer clear of certain types (white mushrooms, don’t even bother. Half of them will kill you)
- Comment on And they mocked me for my WoW subscription 😗 4 weeks ago:
I still pay for a Pandora family subscription, because all 5 people in my house use it; but for me - I don’t like spending all the time organizing and listening to albums, so I pick a song I want - Pandora makes a mix of songs like it, and then I rip the “station” that Pandora builds for me into files.

There are absolutely a fuckstick worth of George Floyd memes out there like this too. I say let people have fun. There are like 8b people on this planet, and far more important people than him are dying, like the people in gaza.
- Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace? 1 month ago:
The problem with the term “non-violent communication”, is that we don’t preface things that we describe based on their lack of something.
You might as well call it “non-love communication”…get it?
We don’t call driving to work “non-violent driving”, we just call it driving.
We don’t call our jobs “non-slavery labor”. You’re practicing absurdity in order to proclaim some higher order of thinking, but you’re just being silly.
- Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace? 1 month ago:
Nobody is “dunking” on LGBT folks. The presented scenario is literally of a completely straight person invading those spaces.
- Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace? 1 month ago:
How is this bigoted? And who said I disagree with non-violent communication?
You might want to re-read what I wrote.
- Comment on do you use non violent communication at the workplace? 1 month ago:
It reminds me of people on LGBT forums going: “I’m a man, and I like women, but I don’t feel sexual attraction towards all of them, only the ones I feel a connection with; what are my labels?”…and needing to tell them “NORMAL! NORMAL IS YOUR LABEL!”.
Meanwhile everyone is like “Oh, you’re ace+/romantic”…/sigh…
- Comment on Is this still on the ace spectrum or what? 1 month ago:
What you sound like is…
NORMAL
- Comment on Americans have the gun industry so far up their ass that they don't even notice their asshole is gaping. There is no other country where uneducated morons are allowed access to guns easily. 2 months ago:
If you go far enough left, you get your guns back again.
- Comment on I'm playing Gears of War Reloaded, and I have a question. Will there be some point when the Chainsaw I've had for hours actually gets explained to me? 2 months ago:
Games should allow you to discover their features, they shouldn’t be telling you directly. That’s the cool part of figuring out a new combo in Mortal Kombat, etc.
They don’t give you a clippy tooltip that says “Press Up Up Down B A Down Down to rip this bitches head off!” – You figure out the combos on your own, or with friends.
This idea of every little thing having to be presented DIRECTLY to the user is laziness. There are ways to help a user discover things narratively.

It’s so weird that players these days don’t press buttons and figure shit out on their own…do you really need a tutorial for a basic weapon?
- Comment on 90% of Games Developers Already Using AI in Workflows, According to New Google Cloud Research 2 months ago:
I mean, it makes complete sense. Photoshop has had ‘magic fill’ for a long time and that’s basically just stable diffusion inpainting.
I’ve had a lot of customers of mine using AI tools to be able to create things they’d never have been able to hire anyone to do, or be able to learn themselves.
It’s really easy too, for an artist that only does 2D shading, etc - to convert their 2D character to 3D and get textures, while cleaning up and continuing the work. Sites like Meshy are really good for quick prototypes, and then you can swap them out later for fully produced models. Especially indie games where someone might not have the artistic chops, but they have the programming chops.

It was a quick example for someone who didn’t understand the concept you dipshit.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 2 months ago:
It was just an example dipshit. Ain’t nobody got time to actually compile shit like that.

You’re on the tippy top of the internet iceberg. All of the corporate-facing shit.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 2 months ago:
I see the same severity that I always have - the issue is Facebook, Twitter, Reddit, Vine, Tiktok, etc are all just finally sinking into the swamp that is the internet. It’s all been under the surface, you just never participated in the real internet, and it’s starting to invade your spaces now is all.
- Comment on I swear they’ve changed but I haven’t 2 months ago:
It’s clear you’ve never been a real big part of the internet. It hasn’t changed. It’s always been “the wild west”, full of misinformation, maliciousness, callousness, etc.
- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 3 months ago:
I’m pretty fucked up as a person, and I think this would be weird as all fuck. I think most people consider fleshlights pretty taboo to begin with.
