- Comment on The Moral Dilemma Of Supporting SNK In 2026 2 weeks ago:
Download any emulator, download ROMs, enjoy. I understand that emulators were difficult to setup in the late 90s/early 2000s, but not anymore.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
The first question does not make sense. For fish and zsh, install WSL.
- Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery? 3 weeks ago:
How do you pay? Most people who deliver have an independent status and carry no cash.
- Comment on Why would anyone doordash food from a place that already does delivery? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t condone Doordash but I’ve seen coworkers use an equivalent to Doordash:
- unified and familiar interface
- I can choose my restaurant, it’s not limited to one place
- coupons and stuff, same, unified
- the payment method (debit card in France) is already stored in the application and works out of the box for every place that delivers
- it’s easier if you buy a meal every day for lunch during work, no need to create an account for each restaurant (there are more than a hundred around me)
- Comment on Former policeman loses citizenship over links to Russia in first-of-its-kind decision 3 weeks ago:
He’s a real russian now, I’m happy for him. He’ll get to enjoy the full russian experience.
- Comment on Good luck figuring it out since it also doesn’t come with man pages 4 weeks ago:
Clippy would be a metallic furry: everyone hates it.
- Comment on Why is 'Philippines' spelled with a PH, but 'Filipino' is spelled with an F? 4 weeks ago:
Kaging is bad for French people, and especially Occitan in the south, as caguer (loosely translated to caging in English) means “to take a dump.” https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/caguer
- Comment on Is it controversial to point out the Nazis were mostly Catholics? 4 weeks ago:
No one really cares about the religion of nazis. The real controversy was the pope being a friend of the nazis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pope_Pius_XII_and_the_Holocaust
- Comment on Pressure mounts on Kanye West to be pulled from headline role at summer music festival in London 4 weeks ago:

I confirm that’s it’s good and easy to use.
- Comment on is it normal for parents to act nice one minute and rude the next? 5 weeks ago:
I’m not into psychology stuff but it is NOT normal.
My father is narcissistic but it’s not one minute or the other. He acts nice in front of other people, and abusive when he is only with me. Like he would say I’m the greatest programmer ever when talking about me, but would tell me that I’m a failure and I don’t know how to use a computer when I visit him and no one else is at home.
Suffice to say that if my mother dies first, I won’t talk to him anymore and he’ll be alone. But he will still complain that I abandoned him because I’m a bad guy.
- Comment on What are the most confusing false friends from your language to another that are spelt exactly the same? 5 weeks ago:
Good in reverse since the verb “attendre” (almost like attend) means “to wait.”
- Comment on Does the national Do Not Call Registry actually work? (USA) 5 weeks ago:
In France, the Do Not Call registry will tell every company on the planet that your phone number is valid. Which means “more spam.” Hilarious, and I expect it’s the same in the USA.

- Comment on Crypto as a Payment Method? 1 month ago:
Bitcoin has been a scam for 15 years. It’s not money, it’s not official, it’s inefficient, it’s useless and irrelevant.
- Comment on This tiki mug my friend made me 1 month ago:
Your friend would make a lot of money with those. I have never played the game but the mug is still awesome.

- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 months ago:
I think you actually can make a reasonable scientific case for the existence of the supernatural
Can you explain how you would use the scientific method on the supernatural?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
ai;dr
- Comment on Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts? 2 months ago:
He actually believes that ghosts exist while proclaiming to be an atheist who thinks the scientific method is flawed. He’s pretty retarded and we’re pointing it out.

I actually do think about the Welsh all the time.
- Comment on *crunch crunch* Très délicieux mes amis! 2 months ago:
It’s funny that this meme lasted for so long. In 40 years, I have never met anyone eating frogs or any restaurant selling those things.

- Winnie the Pooh and Tiananmen Square
- Oh no, we need more firewalls
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I like ai as a hobby
Why? How?
- Comment on What was your social media path? 2 months ago:
IRC, that’s all. Pseudonymous forums like 4chan or reddit are not social IMHO.
