You know, one push up is all you need
- Comment on Which gun would you use in a shtf scenario if AI went rogue 6 days ago:
Yes, they make something like an emp gun. But it’s big and hard to aim, looks kind of like a big high gain radio antenna and has a short range. It was built for taking out drones, it probably won’t be practical for at least 10 more years.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I think it’s as much absent mindedness as anything else and using a foot, 2 hands, 2 eyes and 2 ears is sensory overload for lots of people.
- Comment on Why Does Everyone Seem Ahead of Me? ??? 1 week ago:
First off, you’re on Insta or Facebook, most people are only on there to brag or beg. It’s toxic, get off of there.
Second, life sucks. You could have been dealt a crap hand in life and have to work harder than those you associate with. Maybe you made some bad choices and you need to work your way out of that. No way for me to know.
Life is about compromise and you don’t know what they gave up or the life lottery they won to get to where they are.
The point is, it’s all a mask. As corny as it may sound, you need to determine what goals you need to set, figure out what you need to do to obtain those goals, and you be the winner of your story.

Their called T-Mobile now they merged or bought them, I don’t remember. T-Mobile is owned by Deutsche Telekom

Maybe when it goes on sale

Makes sense, it’s the difference in knowing something and doing something.
- Comment on PlayStation sales just had its worst May in 25 years, and Xbox's was the worst ever—Meanwhile, the Nintendo Switch 2 just became the second-fastest-selling console in US history; and other insights 1 week ago:
A 1year old Nintendo handheld that is portable and comes with a screen for $450 or a 6ish year old anchor that is $650 feels like a no-brainer. Plus the Switch 2 still plays all of the same games (except exclusives on the other consoles obviously) just maybe not as well, but good enough.
Anyone that was going to buy a PS5/Xbox has probably already bought one, so it makes sense for sales to slow. Their probably down to a few stragglers and people replacing dead units.
Plus as the price creeps closer to PC levels consoles kind of lose their appeal. A pretty decent gaming laptop can still run about $1,000ish, the Legion/Ally/Steam Deck handhelds will run about $600 to $1,000. Also the PC games will work on any PC in the future, so your library keeps going instead of starting over every generation.
- Comment on #StopPayingGames 2 weeks ago:
I would like a law that says the publisher/owner/digital store has to remove any server pings and anti-cheat through a standalone update that can be shared and downloaded once they abandon support. This would go for games and any other digital media, alternatively they would have to offer a refund.
- Comment on How come people are stupid nowadays? Especially on social media 2 weeks ago:
People where/are just as stupid. Now they have no shame and lots of platforms to feed their stupidity.
Before you climb on a high horse, we are all stupid in our own way, it’s the ignorance of the stupidity that is the problem. Not knowing that you are stupid is the greatest super power ever
- Comment on Please mind the gap 2 weeks ago:
Shoe strings would most likely break before any real harm was done, probably just make you fall on your face. Flip flops and sandals are a real danger, you can lose a toe or a chunk of your foot.

Yes, Gen1 LCD. Like the other person said has been working for a while but I’m on beta updates.
- Comment on The best answer to "when did Star Trek get woke?" 3 weeks ago:
Don’t have time? 90s Trek had 20+ episode seasons and a season every year, current Trek is 6 or 8 episodes every two years. While the production quality has gotten better, the writing has somehow gotten worse.

- Comment on Is the gripe against AI the same as CGI when first being used? 4 weeks ago:
Vibe coding was/is intended to replace trained and experienced coders by allowing people that don’t have a clue what they are doing to give AI instructions to create something and hope for the best but have no clue how it actually works. It will probably work out eventually, but the goal is something that took a team of skilled workers can now be done by a single high school drop out working minimum wage.
- Comment on Is the gripe against AI the same as CGI when first being used? 4 weeks ago:
Sort of but AI much much worse. CGI only affected a small group of people at first and was really just a shifting/retraining of the workforce, but still required a lot of skill, knowledge, and man power to create. AI is more low skill, low effort, easy entry, and intended to replace the workforce.

Surprised to see Epstein’s ghost in the corner. Bold move
- Comment on What was the internet like before Y2K happened ? 4 weeks ago:
Internet was mostly used for my people to find each other and do nerd shit. The rest were normies being trolls or casual people that just kind of stumbled through it. Corporations had websites but they were mostly just a one page description of the company and not really useful. Social media was basically chat rooms and message forums. Ads were mostly banners and maybe a few pop ups, sometimes a website would have so many pop ups that your computer would lock up. Search engines would bring up the wildest results. It was basically free and open and mostly unregulated, until Metallica attacked P2P (Napster) sharing and that’s about the time it started to fall apart and the glory days ended.
The Internet was 95% shit posting.

Do you mean summer break or the actual season? The season end September 22
- Comment on Valve Reaffirms Steam Machine Summer Launch 5 weeks ago:
Before we get our hopes up, remember that saying “launch in summer” still could mean up to 4 months from now, summer technically ends in September.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I would say cost because of capitalism. It’s very cheap to run, subscription based, low cost entry, push ads, data gathering, and just about any device can run it regardless of OS or performance.
It doesn’t need to reach everyone, just the ones willing to pay for it.
I’m not in favor of it but I do see why it would make sense for some people

- Comment on Are doctor's of presidents still bound by HIPPA even if they see a major decline that would massively effect the country? Or can they tell the truth? And can they lie if under pressure from one? 5 weeks ago:
Doctor’s are required to protect the patient and those around them, even if it means protecting them from themselves.
That doesn’t mean that a doctor couldn’t be coerced into lying or taking a political side or violating their oath, they are still human.
- Comment on Are doctor's of presidents still bound by HIPPA even if they see a major decline that would massively effect the country? Or can they tell the truth? And can they lie if under pressure from one? 5 weeks ago:
That doesn’t answer the question. That says the person can be asked about their health but no one is required to comply.
- Comment on 1 month ago:
At least until Sony and Microsoft shutdown the servers for the consoles and they can’t validate themselves anymore.
If Valve ever stops supporting the SD and you still want to use it so some reason, then just install a new clean OS or just leave it in desktop mode and move on with life.
- Comment on Valve hikes Steam Deck prices by more than 40%, blaming rising costs 1 month ago:
I have a LCD too and the battery is starting to show signs of ware. I was thinking of getting a OLED and giving the LCD to my son. But I have the deckmate and the bag, it works great for attaching and swapping power banks. You’re right though, depending on the bank it can get pretty bulky and heavy.
- Comment on Why do my parents judge my friends based on appearance? 1 month ago:
If this photo is accurate, their appearance and body language reads as the Guy Richie stereotype European young thugs. It’s the track suits, shaved heads, and gold jewelry. Meeting them in person and reading body language and mannerisms would be a better tell.
Whether or not they are thugs, the fact that they are influenced by or idolize the concept can be signals to put their guard up. Theirs and by association your appearance sends signals on how you wish to be perceived and sometimes that’s enough to set off instinctual warnings. The next step is to convince your parents through actions and patterns.
- Comment on What belongs to who when it comes to wealthy families? 1 month ago:
I haven’t either, I bought it to give to them, so it’s theirs. That’s the definition of a gift, I’m not loaning it to them. Also, if I’m their parent and I need to protect my child or discipline them, I don’t need to confuse or attack them to make them with threats of ownership. It’s their belongings but I can ground or restrict their access because I their parent and they are my responsibility.
