God be damned if these leaches are made to do an actual service.

The dems in America are a lot closer to what conservatism classically is than republicans have been in over 50 years.

Look, just don’t bring your damn politics to my game about war and politics. We are just here to shoot ̶b̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ people and relax. I don’t want to think about the implications behind the media I am consuming.

I have a reputation among my friends for disappearing in the middle of things. Makes it a lot harder to do.

I would argue a capitalist nation is any one that re-inforces private (not personal) property by law, and facilitates the exploitation of those resources through a market.

It is funny to me that china can pretend not to be a capitalist nation while displaying every symptom of capitalism.

That will fix it.
- Comment on What is the hate against Pit Bulls? Everyone I've met are super friendly like my BC. Or are they the new Doberman for this cycle? 3 weeks ago:
My neighbors had a pit that hated other dogs. My sister brought her dog over and it escaped the backyard and jumped through an empty screen door to attack her. I was right there on the porch though and got the dog by the collar. As soon as I got it away from my sister’s dog, it was wagging tail and happy face. Pit bulls are capable of intense focus when they have identified “prey.” Luckily I only got grazed in that altercation.

Lol, Labradors are not easy dogs. They are very friendly, but they need a lot of outlet for their boundless energy and constant direction or they become misbehaved. Every other poodle I ever met was undertrained and misbehaved too.

According to Wikipedia (I understand the irony here) dogsbite dot org has been accused of publishing misleading and inaccurate information. However, pit bulls are terriers and terriers don’t let go when they bite. Most terriers are small ratting dogs where this doesn’t matter so much.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 3 weeks ago:
Maybe it is better expressed as degree of control you have over the data on your drive, disk, whatever. When you choose to buy a game from steam, especially if it is on a website like GOG, you are choosing to have less control over your data. With large companies like Sony moving towards anti-consumer practices, it isn’t wise to believe that valve would never do the same.

Tekinukly. Software might still come with a license, but that license has no teeth without some form of DRM. This is a stupid way to try justifying the DRM steam has.

Yup, that’s my point.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 3 weeks ago:
I have never seen anyone back that claim up, despite it being a very popular one to make. People like to pretend they own their steam games but until that gets enforced by law; you don’t.
- Comment on Why the water to make the medication work? 3 weeks ago:
Could be that that medicine is (like coffee) a diuretic. They make you pee more so you have to drink more water to stay hydrated.
- Comment on Why the water to make the medication work? 3 weeks ago:
I can drink 5L on hot days without any increase in peeing. On a cold day I only drink 2.
- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 3 weeks ago:
There is nothing inherently wrong about that. Maybe what your mother is getting towards is that maybe you should cut the amount of noodles in half if you want to add potatoes, otherwise you will just end up with too much.

- Comment on Roses 3 weeks ago:
Red shift and blue shift are exactly the same thing. If you think about light as a wave, like sound, approaching objects have scrunched up waves (blueshifted light) and fleeing objects have spaced out waves (redshifted light). The exact same reason a car horn has higher pitch when it is approaching you and lower pitch when it travels away. The intensity of the effect is correlated to the speed limit of the medium so since light is so fast this effect is typically very small.
- Comment on Roses 3 weeks ago:
The doppler effect you can hear when something loud passes you happens to light too. It would have to be aproaching very fast indeed however to make a red rose appear blue. (Like fast enough to fuse atoms in the atmosphere)
- Comment on [Drawn Out] Rockstar & Sony Think You're Stupid 3 weeks ago:
In my experience, the consumers are stupid every time. Just being a customer cripples 90% of people’s critical thinking abilities. Even myself, walk into a store I haven’t been in and I am a complete and utter fool. The customer is always an idiot.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
There seems to be this notion that if steam would go away, they would grant us DRM free downloads of all our games. I have heard that multiple times through the years. Seems like hopeful nonsense that justifies a lack of ownership through steam. If ya’ll want to own your games, that contingency has to become concrete law.

might be after your account and routing numbers on the checks

- Comment on Fingies 4 weeks ago:
I get this meme is funny but like, if horses really were that fragile then they would not have been domesticated into the work machines we had before combustion engines. They were our automobiles, they plowed our fields and fought in our wars. Yes evolution is a messy ordeal, but it can produce beings that have wild amounts of endurance and horses are near the top of that list.

IQ is meaningless on an individual level. You can do a lot to improve your reasoning and the brain is a muscle that responds well to being trained.

You’re forgetting the power of real charisma. The only candidate somce that has come close to Reagan levels of rizz is Obama. Just you wait till Harris V Vance in 2028, watching two of the least charismatic people on the planet run a race to wield the power of a dying empire should be fun.

Someone told me it would be stealing from the employees to pirate this game. The same employees that get fired for trying to start a union.
- Comment on Why do tires have the width and diameter they do? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I think in that case they had meant to say that the amount of air in the tire stays the same and the PSI increases when the tire deforms. They are right that the PSI in the tire has to match the pressure on the road, that can only happen if the PSI increases when you increase the load.
