- Comment on WTF BIT ME? 1 day ago:
I touched poision ivy once and it looked like this. If it doesn’t go away like a normal mosquito bite, might need to get it checked out so you can get the prescription cream.
- Comment on How can a US state block porn? 5 days ago:
It is impossible. US states make the law, and require the websites to self-block the IP addresses within the state using geo-ip. It’s a flawed solution, but comes with the benefit of being able to sue any semi-large website for not self-blocking and the state receives free fine money. Best part is the state doesn’t actually have to do anything, just pass the law and rake in the publicity.
- Comment on Vert is the best self-hosted file converter out there, and it's not even close 1 week ago:
I’m using ConvertX and I’ve liked it. How is this one better?
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 1 week ago:
Join a convent/monastary and spend your life in seclusion and take up an oath of silence. Or at least let people assume you took the oath and just not talk to anybody. Spend time ‘meditating’.
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 2 weeks ago:
Good people don’t want the power. They want a nice easy peaceful life surrounded by loved ones. The assholes strive for power and authority. A few good people try to make a difference.
Even if you tried to make a legislature out of regular citizens forced to do the work like jury duty, it would get twisted and regulated like current jury duty.
- Comment on Have you all not notice there are NO communist countries? 2 weeks ago:
The communism ideals are great. Problem is, they historically fail when put into practice. Funny thing, it’s because of power hungry assholes. That same reason is why democracies fail, why republics fail, why monarchies fail, why theocracies fail and so on.
If only there were a pattern here that we could learn from. One person with too much power and eventually, you’ll get an asshole so mad with power they bring the whole system down and we have to start over.
The more parties, check, ballances, laws, and red tape, and the like help stave it off for longer, but nothing lasts forever. There is bo perfect system that can’t be undone by assholes.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 3 weeks ago:
Nope, just your run of the mill cynic.
- Comment on Game developers desperate for you to join their Discord "server" 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like corporate logic to me. “Successful games have lots of positive community engagement!” Therefore… if we push ‘community engagement’ our game will be successful! Let’s track this metric to see how well this game is doing compared to our 497 other games and whether or not to invest in bug fixes and DLCs.
- Comment on how can I train myself not to burst out laughing when I do something really silly? 5 weeks ago:
I did it by promising myself I’d laugh about it later, and then hold it in and maintain a straight face.
Works pretty well, but you do end up getting funny looks when you’re giggling to yourself out of nowhere when you think back about it.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 5 weeks ago:
On top of that, we’ve found that basically everything is redshifting as the universe expands. So to see a blueshifting galaxy would mean something potentially unnatural.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 1 month ago:
Honestly? Probably something like this:
the tvs for business/digital signage have stripped down os (if any), this is just a stock android tv.
I’m not a videophile, probably looks good enough for me, and they aren’t going to be dropping ads on it as they assume it’s going in a restraunt for a menu, not in your living room.
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 1 month ago:
Honestly the drama sounds like it is the extra work that these guys aren’t being paid enough to deal with. They’re wise enough to know to stay out. Compartmentilization is key here.

Wanker? /s
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’m in a much better place at 43 than 33. My finances are better, my kids are older and much less maintenance. I have way more free time now. I remember fighting for 30min one or twice a week to game for a little bit and feeling guilty after (had 4 kids under 10). Now? I game almost every day if I want. I actually get a little bored sometimes. It’s luxurious. My body doesn’t feel much different either. Bit slower healing, but I love my 40s. Don’t make me go back.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 2 months ago:
Yep. On the emulators now it is instant. I recently stayed at an airbnb with an nes and played with my kids. The lag is definately there. Even my kids were falling off stuff shouting that they pushed the jump button.
- Comment on Are those of us who grew up on older games more attuned to latency? 2 months ago:
I distinctly remember mario bros on the nes. There was like a 1/3second latency between pressing the button and mario jumping. You had to time your jumps (especially when running) further back than you’d expect to compensate. You just kinda got used to it after a while.
- Comment on My writing laptop just died 2 months ago:
This is the answer here. If OP has any techy friends they should tell them. I have a dozen HDDs and SSDs and RAM of varying sizes lying around. Most of them even work.
I tend to canabalize parts as computers pass through my hands. I frequently upgrade family member’s laptops for them. They buy the parts and I provide the labor of cloning windows and putting in the parts. Often the brand new (but smaller) ram/ssd are unwanted.
- Comment on What’s even the appeal of Linux? 2 months ago:
Everyone ends up going back to windows for the better user experience anyway. Which is why Linux is an acronym for Linux Is Not UX (user experience).
- Comment on If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier? 2 months ago:
I recall doing an experiment in high school where we weighed a balloon that was blown up vs deflated. The one that was blown up weighed more, but by barely anything.
Assuming gas composition and compression and moisture and temperature of breath are the same as a fart, then yes you lose weight.
But methane is lighter than air, and there are so many other variables that it’s possible a fart would make you lighter. However that’s because of boyancy, you are losing mass plain and simple.
- Comment on Why is blue and pink traditionally associated with men and women? 2 months ago:
If you read the wiki article department stores wanted to collaborate on colors. Most stores were doing all colors for babies, but it’s easier to mass produce one color per gender. There was a time where different stores were doing boys pink (because red is masculine, so pink is baby red) and girls in a feminine light blue. Eventually they settled on girl pink and boy blue. It was utterly arbitrary. Yellow was used for gender neutral.
It’s only recently with online shopping that we are getting back to being able to buy baby clothes in any color once again.

It’s a modern thing. Basically it’s all just commercialization. …wikipedia.org/…/Gendered_associations_of_pink_an…
