I know OP has a point that they weren’t asking your opinion on games, but I really like your stance of demanding performance from the game devs especially on older hardware. There is a culture of "must have newest hardware to run everything maxed " that’s just dumb consumerism.

Ahhh yes I remember that video. When the interrogator leaves, the guy starts making all the hand motions of mixing up substances in test tubes, using pipettes, the whole thing.

When I play it’s usually solo games, and I never had an issue with 20fps+ . If performance drops below that, I’m visually ok with 16fps, but usually at that range my system is struggling with game mechanics and that’s the deal breaker for me

I’m extremely OOTL here. Bit.ly rings a bell but I can’t tell if I interact with it or how. Guess I’ll find out when I see the ads
- Comment on Can you help me decide between hold-ups and pantyhose? 1 week ago:
Okay I’ve used both but in Australia so no brand opinions, never seen the ones you mention.
Pantyhose has to be of good quality (ie. Not from mystery brand on AliExpress) or they will constantly slide down, which is very annoying. They will also ladder and tear more easily rendering them single use basically. So get a reasonable brand. You will have to try and see.
I’m presuming you have female anatomy like me. Crotchless pantyhose can be a better option for the toilet if that’s your concern, but that depends on how neat and tidy you are with your business. I couldn’t. I’d be getting piss droplets on the pantyhose if I had to go wearing them. For me that’s too gross of an option.
The main advantage of pantyhose is that it’s easier to put on (think of your routine if you need this on a daily basis), it usually stays where you leave it, and it covers the whole leg. It’s also even all along, whereas holdups may show through the fabric of whatever other garment you are wearing if it’s tight enough.
Holdups as mentioned may show through the fabric. They’re also more difficult to get right, I’ve never bought holdups that stayed put without using a garter belt. If you have super firm legs then you may have better luck than me though . In my experience, the holdups either stay in place but dig too much into the leg which looks awful, or, they fall down a lot. So I’ve used garter belts, and here we have another variable which is that of the clasp+holdup edge types. The more discreet clasps are button type and usually don’t latch well on most holdups, they snap free when you move and your socks fall. The crocodile style clasps do bite and stay but, again, you can see the bumps through the skirt in many cases depending on the fabric.
For sizing, always err on the larger one. Unless you are super skinny. I’m not sure of your sizes, I use metric system, I only know I’m 5’7" and 64 kgs with a pronounced hourglass shape. And I’m usually a L, and when it comes to hosiery at least Tall. My sister is a few cms taller than me, and needs ExtraTall or nothing. So it sounds like you’d be extra tall/Large, unless you are very skinny and thin.
Hope this helps. Good luck with it

Fair enough

Hmmm… Looking at Cthulu and not sure what to think about here
- Comment on brain blowing orgasms 1 week ago:
Fair, another possibility, thanks for the answer
- Comment on brain blowing orgasms 1 week ago:
Thanks, one solid answer! It could be that it used to be an advantage at some point and now it’s just perpetuated
- Comment on brain blowing orgasms 1 week ago:
SkaveRat is addressing my original question: I’m asking if there is an advantageous reason for this phenomenon. You seem to suggest it’s a spandrel at best, and fair enough, that could be the answer. It probably is a spandrel, I also believe that.
However spandrels usually don’t reduce future chances or reproduction, and this one clearly does, so I was asking perhaps there is an advantage to this feature (not a spandrel then). Or at least an explanation for its existence from a genetic perspective, ie. the genes triggering the self destructing behavior are also the same ones responsible for a major survivability feature.
The reason behind spandrels existing can sometimes be explained other than “random”, as it happens with the human chin for example - apparently someone figured out it’s physically impossible for a chin not to appear if you are deforming maxillary bones to flatten into a face.
So far here nobody knows for sure about the octopus, and I gather it’s because science doesn’t yet have a consensus on the matter. But everyone has been quick to assure me it’s just random and that there isn’t anything else to it without any scientific backing.
- Comment on brain blowing orgasms 1 week ago:
Thank you, so far you’re the only one addressing my question. The answer could very well be that it’s a spandrel, but just like you said it would be speculation like anything else- nobody here daring to say “nobody in the scientific community has a solid theory, we don’t know for sure”
- Comment on brain blowing orgasms 1 week ago:
According to the article the females don’t fare any better either.
I didn’t know this about octopi, what’s the point, evolutionarily, to self destruct after reproducing?

I guess you can’t keep a cigarette butt in your pocket or purse like you can with a snack wrapper. Which forces people to dump them. Which creates a really bad habit, I mean you been tossing that shit yesterday when you didn’t find a bin, why should you care today? This is not an excuse though, just an attempt to understand the behavior which is what you’re asking
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
Nudity would be considered inappropriate in most workplaces so that’s a good standard to hold up to.
There is a grey area for scientific/medical illustration, but usually this category of illustration removes most of the unnecessary details on genitals and stylizes the image in a way that makes your brain grasp better the anatomy, even if it’s not photorealistic. Usually you work out if an image belongs to this category by context, ie. you find it in a biology book, an encyclopedia, a healthcare pamphlet etc. When doctors or scientists need to document something with photographs ( which is often the case to supplement illustrations) they’re usually considered sensitive material if it’s on the genitals and they’re not as readily available to the general public. There’s often a content warning when things get that graphic.
If your work is leaning more towards photorealism then it may not fit that criteria, and would still be considered NSFW.

TIL
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Okay, most people here talking about “is it legal, is it gross, is the ex a cunt, all of the above”.
I’d just like to point out that regardless of all of that, since there is legally nothing you can do, the best you can do is support your daughter. Don’t engage with the toxic ex. Just let your daughter know that you’re not happy about it but that you respect her and support her no matter what. And behave accordingly, don’t get mad at her, show her your kindest side.
What your ex is doing feels like manipulation to distance her from you, in addition to rage bait you. Don’t fall for that.

I’m in Australia. Here when meats approach their date they mark them down, but you don’t see them still for sale after the date. I found an item that wasn’t supposed to be on the shelves anymore. Yeah the waste is really frustrating.
- Comment on "You can't have our trash because we don't have a way to charge you for it" 2 months ago:
I’m not saying there shouldn’t be regulations. If I’m paying for something I expect a certain level of quality and safety.
I’m also saying people should have the right to take a risk if they want to eat something out of a trash can for free. “You can’t take our trash for free because you might sue us” is very much mildly infuriating to me

It’s just that you need “pioneers”, people who resonate with what’s already here but also want to add to whatever new communities. I don’t think we’ll have a migration of users only for those topics if we first don’t have a few that can already keep things alive as they are.
- Comment on how do I become the dullest, most boring coworker so this needy man leaves me alone? 2 months ago:
I totally see your point, which is why I mentioned this really depends on context. I’ve worked in places where people actually did stretches or meditation during their breaks and nobody cared for it. But I can totally see how that wouldn’t fly in other places.
Also, from experience - some people will still talk to you even if you have headphones and your attention on the phone.
