- Comment on Why don't people afraid of AI instead use it while they can to make decent money? 6 days ago:
You assume it’s conscious. It’s autocomplete with a bigger vocabulary.
- Comment on Why has it became usual business for shows people like getting canceled after one season? They don't even have time to flesh out a decent story? Why not let them have at least 3? 1 week ago:
The problem is that the people in charge of the streaming services are very bad at making TV, because their business model is not the same as TVs business model. TVs business model is: sell ads. Run 24 episodes, every episode, build numbers, keep it going. There’s not much brand loyalty, there’s show loyalty.
Streamers care about one thing: getting you to subscribe. The Witcher is a great example. They got a lot of people to subscribe based on season one. Afterwards, all they might be able to use it to get other people to join, and they do, the real money isn’t getting other people to join who’ve never heard of the show, either by advertising for the Witcher, or by moving onto some other property that has a rabid fan base, adapting it, and getting them to join (see also one piece, avatar, etc.). And when they’re waiting for the next season, they find other shows, and are now subscribers for life, and who cares if the next season is 3 years away… or never comes.
- Comment on I went to a zoo today 2 weeks ago:
Right, because you wanted the experience of feeding the giraffes. That was your benefit from paying the second time. That was entirely optional.
- Comment on Is there music I haven't heard because I only speak English? 3 weeks ago:
Yes.
Find a community here that has the music style you have & ask.
Go here, campexplorer.io , type in the country name, hit enter, type a genre name, hit enter.
The problem isn’t finding music, it’s finding music you like. Hence finding the communities (or yes, even subreddits) that specialize in it, because Sturgeon’s Law still holds true. I listen to 95% foreign music for the subgenres I like. It’s fine, it’s cool. Some genres are under-represented in some countries - think country-western (USA) for instance.
- Comment on Music just isn't good anymore 5 weeks ago:
2026: Elder - Through Zero. Heavy Stoner/Psych/Metal 2025: Totorro - Sofa So Good. Upbeat Math Rock. 2024: Alcest - Les Chants de l’Aurore. Shoegaze meets black metal. Minimal screaming.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
As long as YOU don’t ask the sizes and they do, and help her get fitted, it’s fine. You can sit in the chair outside the fitting room and be positive about the outfits you like and that look good on her.
- Comment on Why does Gypsy Rose Blanchard act like a teen? 5 weeks ago:
Thanks, I saw Rose and Blanchard and thought it was Golden Girls, so was super confused.
- Comment on Is there an optimal angle when using a urinal? 1 month ago:
Oh, hey dude. Haven’t seen you since our office moved, was wondering how you’ve been doing?!
- Comment on Would it be in bad taste to use D4VID's Romantic Homicide song for a trailer? 1 month ago:
Well, I googled it, and regret that. He appears to be the horriblest of people, if those charges are true. He’s a singer of some sort who killed someone. Just take it at that.
- Comment on allegedly 1 month ago:
To be faaaaaaaaiiiiiirrrrrrrr
- Comment on We're so back 1 month ago:
So she thinks (I know, I know) that getting “natural immunity” to COVID protects her from hantavirus? The ivermectin is just the icing on the cake, honestly.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 2 months ago:
Squeeze-it water enhancer. There’s several hundred different flavors, you can add however much you want at that time, so you can make it stronger or weaker as the mood hits you. Most are typically 0 cal, but IIRC there are some that have no sweetener at all. Search for “water enhancer”, but here are some examples. I’ll also make them go further by adding them to some iced tea, so you can make an Arnold Palmer. Variety is the spice of life.
- Comment on Is there a split ergonomic keyboard that has dedicated arrow keys and a full row of function keys? 2 months ago:
Since you’re talking Ergodox, do you still want column-staggered? For row staggered you probably need the Dygma Raise if you want a thumb cluster.
This might also be useful: yal-tools.github.io/ergo-keyboards/
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 2 months ago:
It has to cool down some, sure, but don’t let it get cold, then it’ll just get caked on.
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 2 months ago:
Well the cook or someone the cook instructs. Do you follow a “you cook I clean” protocol?
- Comment on should the BBQ cover be put back on after every use ... or just once at the end of BBQ season 2 months ago:
NO. You need that grill to dry out inside first. Leave the lid off for an hour or two, let it cool off and dry off, then put the cover on.
- Comment on Is putting black beans in my chili a bad idea? 2 months ago:
Written half in jest, to be honest. I used to be anti-bean, but I’ve grown to like the difference in texture. But there’s a lot of “get a rope” purists around here with regards to beans in chili.
- Comment on When did Saturday Night Live get so cringe? 2 months ago:
3-D House of Beef was Peak SCTV.
And everybody will tell you that SNL has sucked since about 2 years after it started.
But you’re right about the nostalgia bit.
- Comment on Is putting black beans in my chili a bad idea? 2 months ago:
Any Texan will tell you if it has beans it’s not actually Chili, but you already have beans in it anyhow. So yeah, it’s fine.
- Comment on Ranking Every TV Dinner 2 months ago:
Image But honestly, go watch it for the entertainment value. It’s fun.
- Comment on Are all billionaires and fortune 500 companies famous? 3 months ago:
Oh god no. I’ve worked for 2 or 3 now, and you’d have to google them to know. For many, people knowing about them is a hindrance.
- Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it? 3 months ago:
They exist. Unsure how it works now, but it’s existed for years, a small prism-like thing that would show them. Check your theater listings.
- Comment on Just another Wednesday 3 months ago:
Have you looked at import-excel (powershell)? I’m guess if you’re at the VBA level it’s probably too primitive, but thinking of ideas.
- Comment on meat honey 3 months ago:
Amorphis! Their lyricist does a great job adapting the Finnish spoken histories. ZERO idea if this is one of them, though it references the shores of Tuonela. I highly recommend the clean/acoustic version of My Kantele youtu.be/UufaC2TI7dg
- Comment on Does anyone else get their news from The 700 Club? 3 months ago:
You’re 3 weeks early, m’dude
- Comment on How to I prove to someone that the U.S. moon landing wasn't staged? 3 months ago:
The Russians admitted it.
- Comment on Dear Faith IV 3 months ago:
Ah. Had no idea where that came from , so okay. Thank you.
- Comment on What to do with an old iPhone that I no longer use? 3 months ago:
If you stick it on its side, charging, it will run what’s called Standby mode. You can have widgets, clocks, etc. it’s cool overall, and I create a couple widgets so during the day I get some nice information while my phone is charging on my desk.
There was/is a shortcuts client/server app where it would run things periodically for you
But as others have said - women’s shelter, sell it, etc.
- Comment on Americans: How the hell do you meet new people or get into relationships after college? 3 months ago:
Museums too. There are a decent number that have “adults night” now.
- Comment on Dear Faith IV 4 months ago:
You forgot to blur out a fairly distinctive name.
