The villainous behavior of Superman has been well documented
- Comment on A world full of wonders 1 week ago:
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 week 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 week 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.

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

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 ? 2 weeks 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 2 weeks 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? 2 weeks 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 3 weeks ago:
I mean, mutes are cheap and work pretty well.
- Comment on What is wrong with Pop OS? 5 weeks 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? 1 month 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??? 1 month ago:
No, that one was a puzzle game about perspectives in a multi-layered dream.

- Comment on Checks phone *30 minutes left till alarm* FRICK NOT AGAIN! 2 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 2 months ago:
AFAIK basically every ATM in existence runs embedded Windows.
- Comment on Who?¿ 2 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. 2 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.
- Comment on I can now save my game in Pokemon Yellow again after 25 years. 2 months ago:
Your solder joints don’t actually look that bad. Ive seen much worse. But “works” is the gold standard anyway. You’re probably the only one that will see the board in person.
If you want advice, it looks like your iron was either too cold, or you didn’t work fast enough and your flux burned up before the joint set.
- Comment on It seems that Valve is working on a "SteamGPT" feature that will apparently deal with Steam support issues and is somehow connected to Trust Score and CS2 anti-cheat 2 months ago:
One thing Valve is known for is testing things. They typically make sure technology works before rolling it out everywhere.
I’m willing to bet that they have either solved most of the problems a tool like this has by massively limiting it’s scope, or it never actually gets past a beta test phase.

You should find a new dealer, dude
- Comment on Apparently they are actually for birds??? 2 months ago:
Big Bird has a predator’s front facing eyes, and a massive form which must require a lot of calories to run.
Do you think his species is an ambush predator like a puma, a persistence predator like a human, or does he go for volume like an orca?
- Comment on Really incredible. I want a set. 2 months ago:
Yes
- Comment on Anon checks a walkthrough 2 months ago:
This has not been a problem since YouTube became a thing.
Now I can watch someone beat it to see if I’m doing something wrong. Sometimes I am, and sometimes the boss is actually hard, but now I know which.

Anyone who says their 20s were the best years of their life experienced them in the 90s or earlier.
- Comment on Anon notices some fan service 2 months ago:
IIRC, that was basically the reason given by Yoko Taro about why 2B looks like that in Nier.
- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 2 months ago:
I am also not a Juggalo, but every one that I have met has been kind and accepting to an aggressive degree.
