• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"I'm so sorry I hit you... I'm so sorry..." (Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon)⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It has a similar feel to Oblivion, but darker. Map isn’t as big and the world isn’t as rich, but it’s still fun.

  Adding -ai to the search seems to work if you can’t install a uBlock filter or NoScript.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shit, I'd pay $9⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I think it’s an Android thing. I’ve only gotten a valid answer maybe once or twice.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When did it become normalized to start passing credit card processing fees to the customer?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing times are getting tough and if a business gets $100,000 in revenue (before expenses) per month but is paying $3,000+ in credit card fees, they see that large expenditure and start wanting to recoup those fees.

  Personally as a business I find the “one and done” nature of credit cards much better than dealing with cash, checks, or trusting PayPal. So the fee isn’t that big of a deal to me.

  What I really hate is businesses that charge 4%+ surcharges, they probably pay more like 3.5% and are just gouging the customers. Or they are getting a terrible rate from their bank.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it a good idea to use an Android phone as an external SSD for backing up my home folder?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think at this point we can consider anything in the USA cloud subject to DHS/government subpoenas and AI scraping. I really don’t want to have to sanitize my backup data, I’d rather just keep it offline and not worry about it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Families in New York City demonstrated against a proposal to allow cars in a local park. A politician showed up in a car to mock them⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Some people have this huge fascination to drive their cars in parks and on beaches, I have never understood it. Cars are nice but they don’t need to be everywhere. I’m guessing there is a correlation with MAGA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. And based on everything else that MAGA and billionaires have been caught doing and defending, I think there is almost certainly widespread sex trafficking and abuse of the detainees. Why else would the administration try so hard to prevent Congress from observing the facilities?

  If the Trump thugs act this badly on the streets then how horribly much worse do you think people are being treated I’m these secret detention facilities completely hidden from public view? This IMO will be seen as one of the worst chapters of our country once all the truth comes out.

  Bad enough to end the Republican party in the long run? Hopefully.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IT'S HERE!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Excellent. My plan is now in the pentultimate stage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Legal action over 'unfair' Steam game store prices given go ahead⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Think of it this way, claiming the free game costs them bandwidth. Downloading the game costs them even more bandwidth. Yeah my bandwidth isn’t much but collectively with everyone claiming the games that adds up. I have played and enjoyed a few like Dead Island 2, but I would never give Tim Sweeney and Epic game store money. I will just cost them money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s not enough time! It takes 12 weeks to convert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨instant lax⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That looks delicious, I just don’t have the time to commit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think groups of openly armed citizens patrolling the streets would be a huge deterrent to ICE. These guys are violent bullies when they operate against unarmed people, but I doubt they are willing to mess with a mass of armed defenders.

  But if the military continues to go along with Trump then this just may escalate things.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What a great idea⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Rural areas. That comes with other issues though, like MAGA people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Care⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what I’m sticking the googly eyes to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As The Division 3 development continues, Ubisoft announces layoffs at Massive Entertainment and Ubisoft Stockholm as part of 'a proposed organizational restructure'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Make it first-person and maybe I’d be more interested.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-Care⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  But then you realize what you ordered isn’t self-stick and you are disappoint.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Maduro our generations Norega?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah but bad people do what diaper Donnie commands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So many posers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay under the speed limit, guys. It's not worth it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Everybody just wants to get where they’re going safely. If you’re always behind slow drivers you need to leave a little earlier because if your schedule is that tight any little thing is going to make you late.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is Donald Trump able to get away with being part of a child trafficking ring but I get 20 years in jail for littering?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And the legal system is often a country-club insider system where they protect their own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Electric Bills⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The electric companies have to build more generation and infrastructure to accommodate the huge demand from data centers. The electric companies tend to spread that cost among all customers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dying Light⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a rumor that Dying Light 2 will be given away by Epic in the next week or so. They are giving away a different game every day right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music aficionado ⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like both types of music, country and western.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It really feels like that⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How about when you heat your lunch in the microwave and your coworker start talking to you. Food finishes heating, you politely nod and “hmm” for a few minutes, then start heating your cold food again in hopes they will stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Diabolical⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good point. Don’t park nearby at least. If you do wind up getting identified and blamed you could probably tell the truth and say he was being an asshat in traffic and you were trolling him, but you never know how the justice system will work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple reminding me my iPad sucks⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are unfortunately no decent Android tablets though. iPads are much nicer overall as far as I can tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do pro athelets get paid millions upon millions of dollars but will be taken off field for something minor? My coach always said walk it off or tough it out. How come its not the same in leagues?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Protecting their investment?

  This is shitty, but as a programmer I’m kinda impressed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just enjoying a nice quiet lunch break at work…⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Maybe not this time.
