Seen cool smokers. They ain’t making a big thing of smoking. They just go out, take 5 mins to smoke, return to whatever they were doing.
Seen goofy smokers. People who are unaccustomed or try to make smoking part of their identity.
Both stink. Both are loathsome to be around. First kind may actually put some work into lessening that like mints tho. Still stink.

So, I am not an american and had to look the guy up. First of all, wtf. Second of all, wtf (but about your situation).
But at the end of the day, some people just don’t compute statements without face attached to them. :|

I tried soooo very hard to not tie age into that but…
Yeah. :<
- Comment on We hate him no matter who he represents. 5 days ago:
- It puts legitimacy behind their statements. You are no longer discussing with an internet no-name weirdo, the person you are writing with has a name and face.
- They weild authority in the field or bear respect assigned to them and are thus using it…or simply used to writing under their name due to that.
- They’re one of “I have nothing to hide” folks. And I don’t mean surveilence apologists - I mean folk who have such weirdly strong ego (without being egoists. At least most of the time) that their belief in who they are is unshakeable. They tend to rawdog the world.
Some combination of the three above is most common in my perspective.
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 week ago:
This is really such an weird argument. Like arguing that you want to be able to drive a nail with any tool you find, so no matter if these are scissors, a spoon or an actual hammer, all need to be usable as a hammer.
We have genres for a reason. If you do not like soulslikes, pick another game. If you have no time to play arcade style games, pick another genre. There are thousands of games available, and genre overlap is huge - don’t play games that aren’t meant to align with your requirements and then complain they don’t.
Like, this is borderline egoistical of you.

Where I live we…just use comma. So 2999,95. No reason to add useless separators in the middle, and if we do for clarity sake, we use space (2 999,95).
This is gonna irk you further, isn’t it…? xD
- Comment on Three developers' different philosophies on difficulty for their games 1 week ago:
Match the type of a game, sheesh.
Bethesda like open world? Gimmie difficulty levels - nothing will change with them except that people will be able to tailor the experience more.
Narrative and/or choice heavy game? Leave difficulty choice off to let the original vision of the author speak for itself - havimg parts too easy or hard due to watered down or pumped up difficulty can ruin the story.
Arcade/Dark Souls games? I…don’t really see reasons for difficulty settings here except for harder than baselines ones? Like new game +. In these games, learning patterns and gettimg good is the game, there is no way around it.
All in all - not every game is for everyone, we have genres for a reason. Having difficulty tailored for arcades in open world exploration game makes no sense just as much as having watered down difficulty levels in narrative heavy games.

Didn’t think about it at the time…welp, true.
- Comment on thoughts and prayers for science 1 week ago:
Yeeeep. Faith is a tool, especially if said faith is based on good intentions. It can be used for good (peace of mind, hospitality, feeding the poor, supporting communities), but even if faith itself was infallibly good, community aeound it simply will never be. And people who need to take shelter in faith often are more easily manipulated, sadly.
- Comment on thoughts and prayers for science 1 week ago:
What even is science if not a cult of cause and effect?
- Comment on thoughts and prayers for science 1 week ago:
I mean, true. But at worst, faith worsk as a placebo, forcing our minds and bodies to fight harder for some unkown reason. At best, there were unexplainable cases. May as well assume it’s faith until proven otherwise.
In all cases, statistically insignificant xD
- Comment on thoughts and prayers for science 1 week ago:
Oh, when you look at miracles, they do heal a lot! Some of it is even scientifically proven IIRC. Human mind is a funny thing.
But in all cases, faith works on small scale, and quite often simply individual. So yeah…not even a start to science.
- Comment on Return to office propaganda floating around LinkedIn 2 weeks ago:
IIRC article well enough, pros were that they were able to talk to anyone at company at the same time, had all data available constantly and were great at drawing normal from data so in standard scenarios they could easily lead the company.
They hallucinated sometimes, but research found that not more than actual CEO’s lol.
What they failed at was exceptional, bad situations. Too little data resulted in choices that ended with the simulated board firing them.

Object permamence this, object permamence that…
In short, either yer liked or not, your effectiveness doesn’t matter. If boss cannot molest you 1v1 or stalk your ugly mug, you are worthless.

There was an experiment where they simulated LLM performing various company roles. The higher you put it, the more effective it was… xD

- Comment on Hmmmm! 2 weeks ago:
False. We are only able to perceive what we experience, and by extension, what we experience is what we call “The Present” or “now”. Sensory delay thus plays no role, other than shifting personal “present” a bit forward or backward. What doesn’t change is that we all only exist at the present. What does change is that present == present but present !== present.

…i have a wallet. One of the band ones, for cards only. Obsessed with having my cards (id, club and pay ones) with me at all times, but hate coins and bills with all my heart. As soon as I could drop 'em, I did.

Yes and no. Lately companies began pulling this shit for real, because well, you don’t exactly have to pay actresses that way…and they are easier to abuse.

Hundred dreams, some as a woman, sone as a man, always straight according to my original sex. Means nothin except me being curious how’d I turn out if I were born woman. That, however, I’ll never know T-T ( Born & Raised not switched mid-drive)

Like I said, I do understand that. I just underline that for whoever who doesn’t ask and judges by the cover, it looks how it looks.
- Comment on Fuckin' furries 5 weeks ago:
Thanks for another PoV. The previous I got was that fursonas are pretty much closer to alien - that is with rationality on human level and full conscience of their actions yadda yadda - than to what we perceive as animals, and that quite a lot of furries don’t go into the smut side of force. Also that ya guys are reportedly rabid when it comes to hunting down people who are actually zoophiliac in your fandom. Wouldn’t surprise me if that were true, looking at how much reputational damage those cases can give you.
But even between that and your explanation I cannot help but feel kinda…off about this whole thing. There’s no hate, mind you - the more I understand the fandom the more I am of “be and let be” approach but…
Man, no matter how you put it, at the end of the day it’s animal looking character boinking human or another animal character and folks fapping to it. It is kinda yucky, even if I understand that perception is shifted within the fandom.
Nevertheless, hope folk will fuck off from attacking furries for being. ^^’
- Comment on Fuckin' furries 5 weeks ago:
I did. Multiple times. Multiple time got sideye, “it ain’t about fucking animals!” and vague descriptions that pointed to fucking animals.
Only on the net finally someone explained to me that it’s closer to xenophilia than zoofilia, and that quite big chunk of the fandom isn’t even into the lewd sude of the force.
And to underline, with amount of furry smut online “people who enjoy anthropomorfic animals” isn’t helping xD
- Comment on Fuckin' furries 5 weeks ago:
Meh. I honestly believe most people don’t try to learn further than “Furries want to fuck animals”. I even was in that camp, although not on my own volition - no one was able to describe to me wtf is this about simply put xD Since learning more, I still don’t buy it but I stopped hating furries xD

Look to Europe then. Roads here have less width compared to USA to force you to focus. Or roundabouts which also make the crossing less safe…if you try to keep your speed.
Both end up making roads safer by slowing you down and forcing you to focus.

- Comment on why is it never the 'close friend' who gets shit on? 1 month ago:
My reaction was mostly provoked by the “Dog would probably attack children”. It’s funny to me that, seemingly, lemmings are more eager to assume each single dog is a non senstient killing machine rather that it tried to protect it’s owner. xD
Most dogs have instinct to hunt prey, but like with humans, they can learn to overwrite them and most under good owners do. It’s werid to me when I see people immediately assume the dog is aggressive just because of one reported bite scenario, and that specific one at the same time. Like saying that a random person is overly aggresive because when you heard once that they hit someone.
