- 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 days 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 days 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 days 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? 4 days 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? 4 days 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. 5 days 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 6 days 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 6 days 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 6 days 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] 6 days 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.

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.
- Comment on Are we SURE Reagan didn't cheat in the elections??? 1 week ago:
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? 1 week 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.

Yoooo, we got money printing schemes over here? Let us all in on em. Does it involve T-shirts with vague and average looking illustrations? Are we running some phone scams which target the elderly? Are we writing stories which meander back up into themselves Escher style to sell ads? I gotta know what is cooking.

- Comment on I used to be an uber eats driver and lowkey 3 weeks ago:
If for some reason you can’t boil an egg, or use a microwave, then you should be in an assisted living situation and you are beyond having doordash be a lifeline for you. There is just no scenario in which doordash is an essential service and not an unnecessary convenience. Also most pizza places have and always will do their own delivery (and they pay their employees more because they don’t get to count it as a gig job.). Im not against getting shit delivered, just against paying a middleman for it.
