Pseudo-dermatology is also not very far away. The gap between what dermatologists and influencers say would be hilarious if gullible teenagers weren’t spending ridiculous amounts of money ruining their own skin.

Bibi needs the war to last at least until October.
- Comment on [Jason Schreier] AAA game budgets estimated around $300 million. These budgets are almost entirely dev salaries + overheard and have nothing to do with executive compensation (which is mostly stock) 3 days ago:
Some players will complain about everything, the industry is the one amplifying it. For example, Like a Dragon games have been recycling assets since forever, and so did Zelda TOTK and no one cares.
In the end, the players would also benefit if the games were made through iterative improvements instead of making everything from scratch every time.

Executives should still be accountable for inefficiencies and bad scoping.
- Comment on Which government he might be talking about 🤔 6 days ago:
They could fund a public healthcare system twice over with the money the federal government is already spend providing piece meal health care through several inefficient programs. The war crime fund could solve the housing problem though.
- Comment on In the age of electronics, when is go to vote can I request a paper ballot instead of a machine? 6 days ago:
It’s easier to falsify a paper election than a properly implemented digital voting system. Keyword being properly.

Long term? The ecosystem. If we don’t change course, at some point the species that goes extinct is us, and nature is going to recover. Life has survived much worse than what we can do.

Wait, there are still t9 remotes that work with modern TVs?
- Comment on I started playing WH40k Rogue Trader and I'm digging it, but I know virtually nothing of Warhammer. Any super basic world info I should know going in? 1 week ago:
As a result, the canon is vast and occasionally self-contradictory
“Record keeping is shit and we aren’t even sure what year it is any more so don’t take anything at face value " is the new canon, so the canon being a mess is canon now.
- Comment on Is there a software method to "rotate" music around my head? 1 week ago:
Try to look for earphones with 3D head tracking. They work better for horizontal movement, but they might also help if you are lying down.
- Comment on Valve says 5,863 titles earned over $100,000 on Steam in 2025 2 weeks ago:
Because despite all the LLM slopaganda the laws of supply and demand give software engineers some leverage over prospective employers.
- Comment on Valve says 5,863 titles earned over $100,000 on Steam in 2025 2 weeks ago:
100k is not enough to pay even a single full time dev, so I wouldn’t call this the success threshold.
- Comment on spoopy figs 2 weeks ago:
Most commercially and home grown produced figs are self-pollinating, only a few wild fig species require wasps to pollinate them. So most people will only ever see wasp-free figs.

Of course they will, just not in the US (and probably Canada).
- Comment on No way!.. 1 month ago:
The problem is not in the old testament. Mainstream judaism doesn’t claim you need to a jew to achieve salvation.
- Comment on No way!.. 1 month ago:
That kind of statement can only apply to ideas and attitudes that also respect diversity. Christianity and Islamism taken at face value are exclusionary of all other religions. A “true” believer therefore has a moral imperative of destroying diversity in order to protect other people.
This is not saying all or even most followers of these religions will follow that path, but that they need to water down or ignore some of the core theology to fully operate in a diverse society.

It depends on the country. While most countries start it in Monday, Sunday is also common, some muslim countries start it on Saturday, and Maldives start the week on Fridays.

I just pick whatever this year - 20 is.
It’s usually enough to stop services from nagging me again.
- Comment on Probably helps that I'm happy to listen to whatever genre 1 month ago:
My parents routinely started listening to several of my favourite bands when I was a teen.
Do you have any idea how hard is it to be an angsty rebellious teenager when your parents are supportive of your tastes and phases?
- Comment on How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ? 1 month ago:
You are joking, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the first people to use any form of body piercing did to look tough to impress women.
- Comment on How did "ancient humans" got the idea to pierce their ears/body ? 1 month ago:
There are archeological objects that are most likely piercings or earrings that are over 10 thousand years old. By the time writing was invented they were already very old news.
- Comment on It's barely a science. 1 month ago:
They don’t even disguise it, praxeology is effectively theology without the metaphysics.

Yeah, geese are terrifying and already come with “teeth”.
- Comment on Truth hurts! 1 month ago:
Ok, imagine a pack of very fast small cassowaries with very sharp teeth.
- Comment on Truth hurts! 1 month ago:
Everyone that disagrees should have a little face to face time with and enraged Cassowary and then visualise a Cassowary the size of a large truck.

- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 2 months ago:
English is easy to get started but insanely hard to master. There are tons of irregular verbs, orthography is all over the place, plurals have more than a few pitfalls.
- Comment on Do babies learn languages at different rates depending on how hard the language is? 2 months ago:
Spanish is easier in the sense it’s more regular. Genders don’t had that much complexity if they are applied consistently, especially when you stack them against all the irregularities in English. That being said, and without claiming to be an expert, I think the consensus is that language acquisition time is similar across languages, but the time to master the language is related to how predictable/regular it’s grammar and vocabulary formation is.
