- Comment on Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem? 5 days ago:
Wild boars are an invasive species, they don’t have natural predators.
- Comment on Hey, do americans just want to take a break from normal politics for a bit and focus all our efforts solely on the wild boar problem? 5 days ago:
It’s really not, boars can breed multiple times per year, have litters between 2 and 12, and can breed as early as 6 months old.
It takes lots of effort to keep a population stable, actually eliminating them is very difficult.
- Comment on pain plant 6 days ago:
It’s sort of what happens though. A plant gets a defense mechanism, it becomes more abundant, something will target that abundant food source.
- Comment on Anon is waiting for Japan 1 week ago:
This is a good summary, but I think it misses another big point. The country is super racist. They don’t allow enough immigration to offset demographic issues. They also don’t get any other benefits of immigration like cultural changes that could actually help companies be more adaptable, or maybe trying something different than the exact same thing for 100 years is a good idea.
- Comment on A Fifth John Wick Will Happen, Come Hell or High Water 1 week ago:
4 was already incoherent and awkward. A 5th feels like an intervention is in order for anyone wanting it.
- Comment on I left negative feedback on ebay for dropshipping and the seller has messaged me four days in a row asking me to change it 2 weeks ago:
Amazon hasn’t been the cheapest for things in a long time. There’s a few segments where they are competitive, but it’s generally only small things that are cheaper to ship. The more people that learn this the better.
There was a time when you could have kitty litter delivered to your home for less than it cost at a local store, but that hasn’t been the case for a almost a decade.
- Comment on What happens to all the used guns? 2 weeks ago:
Many pre WWII guns that were broken or unwanted were scrapped in metal drives to support the war effort.
In modern times there are several ways they can get used.
- some will get cannibalized for parts by gunsmiths
- some get used for artwork.
- many are scrapped after gun buyback programs
- some are lost in trash or bodies of water both on purpose or accidentally
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
The problem is a second launcher or library is a pain in the ass for a user. I already avoid GoG unless it’s massively cheaper, and there’s the no drm benefits there. I’m not even interested in free games on epic.
- Comment on Steam is a ticking time bomb. 2 weeks ago:
Epic is the latest example that’s trying. EA gave up that fight years ago, and probably had better shot than Epic ever will.

Most the article makes no sense, but the Mac stuff is really weird. This 18 year old YouTube video is still accurate about the Mac part. youtu.be/2B-ekl_cEWk?si=xWJ43QEO48O9t2oY
- Comment on Next Xbox Rumors Surface; No Devkits Available to Developers Yet (aiming for 2027) 2 weeks ago:
Retreating to PC makes sense, because PC won the console war.

Pretty sure the antibiotics also taste good with butter.

Cheese also tastes good with butter.
- Comment on Please answer. 3 weeks ago:
99% of mold gives humans something between mild discomfort and death. The remaining 1% tastes good with butter.
- Comment on Does Monster Hunter Wilds still look and feel like dog water? 4 weeks ago:
It’s a new game. Unfortunately I think we are now in an era where we can expect new games to run like shit on release, and be improved over the first year.
- Comment on At what point in the relationship should I move in with my girlfriend? 4 weeks ago:
It depends on a lot of things.
- have you spent an entire day or even better a weekend together?
- are you ok with the loss of independence, alone time can be much more difficult after moving in.
- do you have room for their stuff?
- are you ok with rearranging your place, and potentially losing certain decorations or room functions?
- are you comfortable talking about how finances will be managed?
- do you have compatible diets and eating habits?
- Comment on Why do i see so many americans obsessed with the concept of "this is a thing that [Ethnicity] does" 4 weeks ago:
This is based on the census bureau definition, which is much more inclusive than just large cities. 84/510 urban areas have a population greater than 500k. 198/510 have sub 100k population.
- Comment on Why Are Conservatives More Susceptible to Believing Lies? 4 weeks ago:
The first two years of Biden are roughly equivalent to what Trump has now in terms of power and support, but there’s a massive difference in results.
- Comment on How do people doctor shop? Don't all doctors pass info on all their patients between each other? And in this day and age how do they do it.? 4 weeks ago:
This feels too much like a post about how to get opioid prescriptions.
- Comment on 'Captain America: Brave New World' Slides 68% at Box Office to $28 Million 2nd Weekend 4 weeks ago:
It’s not just that the major arc ended. The quality of writing was also in decline before endgame, and that hasn’t changed.
- Comment on Why would America declaring cartels terrorist organizations be a problem for Mexico? 4 weeks ago:
Even without the war on terror, Congress gave the president the power to wage war for two weeks however they are fit. Congress is supposed to be notified and they can approve more time, but it’s been violated multiple times with no consequences.
- Comment on What to claim from Prime Gaming, February 21st edition - plenty for Steam Deck / Linux 5 weeks ago:
That what I use for gog games.
- Comment on Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers? 5 weeks ago:
No one cares who the lead is in a good show. It’s been popular to blame racism/sexism for shitty shows for a while. It’s easy to find a couple tweets and turn a handful of assholes into the face of criticism.
- Comment on Avowed is the most fun I’ve have had since Skyrim! 5 weeks ago:
There’s never been much content blocking in elder scrolls. You could always master every skill even in Morrowind. Morrowind had a few exclusive guilds, but even Skyrim had a couple. Role playing in Skyrim is self imposed.
- Comment on Amazon's previous VP of Prime Gaming said they "tried everything" to disrupt Steam 5 weeks ago:
I like prime gaming, sure I haven’t actually bought anything but Amazon has given me a decent gog library and an ok Amazon games one.
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 5 weeks ago:
It’s entirely possible that the database is pre SQL.
- Comment on Monster Hunter: World sold over a million copies just in the last 3 months, despite being 7 years old 1 month ago:
I bought it with iceborne when it was on sale recently on steam, I had a copy for PS4 but I’ve transitioned to just PC games at this point.
- Comment on Is there an implemented system of automated trucks anywhere that is fully operational? 1 month ago:
Only in extremely controlled areas like ports or mines are there no humans. Farm tractors are close when in the field.
- Comment on Valve ban advertising-based business models on Steam, no forced adverts like in mobile games 1 month ago:
There two big differences to me are scale and value. A ccg has rare cards, but they aren’t actually that rare compared to loot boxes. Loot boxes tend to have both lower drop rates and pollute their drops with lots of garbage, even for rare drops. Secondly, physical cards have value, you can sell or trade them, you can buy singles of cards you want. You can use them for things other than the game as well.
