  Oh, you’re who Bad Dragon goes to for those size comparison photos

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Several of my guests requested them. I didn't know how to make one. So I called the help line⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  • Pick a good amount of mint leaves and place them in a highball glass (use more than you think you need. Somewhere around 12)

  • Juice a lime and add one of the halves to the glass

  • Use a muddler(or the back of a spoon) to express oils from the lime and mint(you want to bruise the leaves but not pulverize them)

  • Add 2 Oz of a good white rum(this is the star of the drink so make sure it’s good. I recommend Havana club if you live outside the US.)

  • Add 3/4 Oz of the lime juice you squeezed earlier

  • Add between 1 and 2 Oz of simple syrup, depending on how sweet you want it to be. (Personally I go for 1.5)

  • Add ice and stir until the glass is uncomfortable to hold(about 60 seconds)

  • Top with club soda until the glass is completely full

  • Add a straw and garnish with a lime wheel and a mint sprig

  Correct. HR is not your friend and they are there to make sure that the company is not liable for any damages. If you are in the rare position where upper management is not your opponent and whatever shit is happening can float up to them, then HR can be used as a weapon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The store that sells them is not dumb enough to use them⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The best argument I heard for getting one of these was an appeal to laziness.

  Either the robot vacuum cleans the floor, or it simply doesn’t happen unless it gets bad enough to justify the time spent doing it. It’s better to live in a house with perpetually clean floors rather than one where the floors get bad enough until you’re forced to take action.

  The text was sent back in the wild west

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If the movie Falling Down with Michael Douglas was made today in these times would it be too meta on the current society? Or would it be seen as trying to push an agenda?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is a shockingly common view of this movie. In fact, most media that features a villain protagonist tends to have this problem. Look at Breaking Bad, Fight Club, or American Psycho.

  They present the reasons why the villain makes the decisions they do, in a way that is sympathetic to the audience, then it turns into a bit of a power fantasy before their fall at the end. A lot of people seem to look at the power fantasy portion as fighting against an unjust world, rather than an abuse of normal people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh man, I can’t wait to pick up a copy of Project Hail Mary on VHS. I’m sure that will be widely available and easy to purchase

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guess the game (#004)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is true, but the game’s advertisements really pushed the hack and slash component over the RTS one.

  I per-ordered this game because I adored Double-Fine, and a heavy metal-themed Zelda-like starring Jack Black from the creators of Psychonauts sounded amazing. That was not what I was delivered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favourite gaming console you have played?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The SNES will always be my favorite console. It’s got some stinkers in the library, but the best games of the console still frequently rank among theh best games ever made

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Men against bush⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This was the first album I bought with my own money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Superman is a meanie⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The villainous behavior of Superman has been well documented

  Hey, I’ve been there!

  That sausage is in a small town east of Edmonton whose name escapes me, but it’s about an hour and a half drive away from The world’s biggest perogy

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PC Games like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not exactly the same, because of the turn-based nature of it, but play Baldur’s Gate 3 if you haven’t.

  It’s a massive world with a shitload of things to do and a definite objective (or rather 3 as each act has a major one)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem is always about authority. The system that enforces the rules is more important than the rules themselves

  Communism typically fails because the systems that manage it are corruptible. Capitalism has the opposite problem. If there are no rules surrounding what industry is allowed to do, they will always choose the most profitable thing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  As others have said, light exercise is okay at pushing the feeling down. Anecdotally, a change in scenery also helps me when I get that way. Go for a walk somewhere you haven’t been before and see what’s there.

  Also the 54321 rule seems to help ground me if I feel myself start to spiral.

  Name 5 things you can see Then 4 things you can touch Then 3 things you can hear Then 2 things you can smell Finally 1 thing you can taste

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I also have this problem, but for me it’s an ADHD stimulation thing. On a screen, you can take breaks between reading large passages bt switching between tasks

  With books, thats a lot harder to do. The thing that fixed it for me was switching to audiobooks. That means now I can “read” while driving, or doing the dishes, or cooking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you explain protocol to a 5 year old ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Computers are really dumb, so when one computer wants to talk to another computer, they need an established set of rules about how each message will be sent and what to do with it when it gets received.

  For IP, it’s mostly about how data is packaged and shipped. It has rules about how much data can be sent in a single message, some information about where the message is going and where it came from, whether or not they expect a reply, and then finally the block of data itself.

  However, inside that block of data, there will be some more information about what that data is, so that the receiving computer knows what to do with it. This is where applications like activitypub do their work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yeah that's a problem for me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s that whole purpose of the activity though.

  You pretend you have the money to buy a big ostentatious house and then critique it through that lens

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I get myself to actually do thing?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, just starting any activity is the hardest part. Find something you want to try, and just force yourself to do it. If you like it, then keep going. If not, maybe the hobby isn’t what you imagined.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annoying neighbor⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, mutes are cheap and work pretty well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is wrong with Pop OS?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, it’s just a beginner-friendly OS, so it gets some hate from the “I had to suffer to learn this, so you should too” crowd.

  Cosmic still has some issues, but it’s pretty easy to install another DE and use that instead.

  Pop is still my goto for desktops because it has good hardware compatibility and it’s easy to use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What if programmers rewrote the English language?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Studies have found that all languages transmit information at approximately the same rate

  Is this only true in speech? Japanese as an example is much more dense in text than English and can convey more information in fewer written characters.

  But, those characters take longer to write and often have multisyllabic pronunciation, so speech would be unaffected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Greg, Pastor of the Promised End playing guitar???⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, that one was a puzzle game about perspectives in a multi-layered dream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some good, casual mobile games.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have probably clocked hundreds of hours into Gauguin. It’s a sudoku-esque puzzle game about filling numbers in a grid. It keeps my quick math sharp.

  Also, it might be a bit on the intense side of casual, but Balatro is probably the best mobile game ever made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Checks phone *30 minutes left till alarm* FRICK NOT AGAIN!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I looked up the manual for my alarm clock because this bugged me so much.

  Turns out there is a fucking button combination to change the brightness and it just defaults to maximum for some reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I guess it's better than XP⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  AFAIK basically every ATM in existence runs embedded Windows.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who?¿⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Taken per capita, probably LaVey. Taken as “Total harm done” it’s Jesus, no contest

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I can now save my game in Pokemon Yellow again after 25 years.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a useful skill to know, and it’s not super hard to learn. It just takes some practice.

  As long as you have some common sense(eg: dont set the iron down on something flammable) you shouldn’t need to worry about fires.
