Your soul is mine!
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 1 week ago:
Unironically probably a decent use of AI
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 1 week ago:
People can just not install those things. No one is forcing you.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 1 week ago:
Change logs are kinda hard to do in a CI/CD environment because of the way that development style works.
It’s actually pretty challenging in general. Not sure you’ve ever built a change log before but it’s a pretty interesting exercise thats easier said then done. Even open source logs just copy paste the commit log which can be not all that helpful.
- Comment on What a shocker! 2 months ago:
Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with me! I’m sorry those things happened to you and that it had an effect on the way you play in the end.
- Comment on What a shocker! 2 months ago:
A lot of the rules were in place to attempt to discourage some of the atrocious behavior I was subjected to.
No doubt, but I don’t think microsoft spends money on that because they altruistically care about your online safety, I think they do it because they are pressured by monetary reasons.
I played a lot of Halo on Xbox live as a teenage girl in the late 2000’s. I sincerely wish they were more stringent about cracking down on assholes.
I appreciate your perspective, thank you for sharing your experience.
One thing I don’t understand is why the built in tools for self managing are insufficient, such as mute and block. If willing, I would be open to hearing your experience with that.
I was never on XBL really, but I’ve been a PC users on counterstrike and league of legends since their inceptions. I can’t say if one service is worse than another but I did watch the efforts to stamp down toxicity over time. I don’t know how successful these efforts were, it seemed futile at best.
Would you share if you feel the current efforts from services like this are effective in making you feel like it’s a safer place for you to game?
- Comment on What a shocker! 2 months ago:
The problem starts with these companies feeling obligated to police what you can say over chat. Just to be clear it’s advertisers and payment services that necessitate that. The whole thing about trying to force a “non-toxic community” is a gaslight.

Hey babe can you get my pants shirt from my closet? I need it to go with my shirt pants.

That’s what you get for using your isp’s DNS
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Jokes on you. How do you know not every bread has been fucked before you ate it? Checkmate, atheists.
- Comment on Oranges? In this economy? 3 months ago:
Might be the best use of AI I’ve seen
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Seems like teenage edgelords refusing to wear deodorant to save the environment.
First time on the Internet?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
It’s more than that. Media plays instantly because it’s already downloaded, cached and served over https. No waiting for files to finish.

Your son is smart.

and colours!
- Comment on Lightning bugs!! 7 months ago:
Different areas have different lightning bugs too. The ones in southern ontario are not the same as the ones in the midwest US.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
The entire concept that something is right or wrong only if there is a consequence is everything that’s fucking wrong with the world right now.
We need to teach our children, and ourselves that the right thing matters even despite of a lack of consequence.
- Comment on Petrichor 10 months ago:
Diff smell.
I call this ‘outside’ smell and you can smell it on a clear day.
- Comment on Why is the word "expat" a thing? 11 months ago:
Immigration is permanent residence. You can move somewhere not permanently, like on a temporary work visa - that is an expat.
Generally an expat from the US does not renounce their US citizenship despite the tax implications due to the need/desire to return home. The US is one of the few countries that will tax a US citizen anywhere in the world, which I think leads to the increased use of the word expat.
Another reason expat applies generally is because US/UK/Canada have a lot of treaty agreements with other countries, so a Canadian citizenship will essentially allow you into many countries more easily than those coming from a third world country. People from third world countries have to go through a more intensive visa process for temporary residence.
- Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there. 11 months ago:
You’re not supposed to intrinsically have your sense of direction in a new place. Some people can do that but assuming you’re not paying full attention on your way to a new location it’s actually normal and expected to have to get your bearings which means taking a moment to orient yourself and figure out what direction is what. And then it’s easy to forget (let’s say you step into a store) until you build a sense of landmarks. Also the more dense a location the harder it is because it’s more complex.
- Comment on Suddenly firefox on ios shows ads on homescreen 1 year ago:
Either Fennec or Mull. f-droid.org/en/…/org.mozilla.fennec_fdroid/
f-droid.org/en/packages/us.spotco.fennec_dos/
Firefox stripped of its playstore requirements and telementry gives you fennec.
Fennec + arkenfox user.js installed = Mull.
- Comment on Lantern Fly 1 year ago:
These guys are late this year… Seen like 5 adults up to today and then suddenly I saw 50±
- Comment on My word game had some weird archaic racist word as one of the answers. 1 year ago:
Mulatto butts!
- Comment on The Blair Witch Project producer says new Blu-ray release will finally present the film as it was always meant to look 1 year ago:
I feel for them that their movie was butchered even for the theater and then butchered again how I watched it which was on VHS or maybe dvd.
I’m not sure if the motion was why this movie was terrible though.
- Comment on Uhhhh...King? 1 year ago:
the way he holds that iron too
- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 1 year ago:
Getting you to feel like your vote is meaningless is how they win.
- Comment on 🐕 good boy 1 year ago:
Wow core memory unlocked
- Comment on It’s official: No Nintendo console has lasted as long as Switch without being replaced 1 year ago:
It’s no mistake that the NES/SNES were held onto for a long time. Literally some of the most popular consoles ever…much like the switch.
Switch lite and OLED version to extend it’s life and people ate that up. New buyers buying for the first time, old buyers re-buying the same console basically. Big Brain stuff.
- Comment on It's real 1 year ago:
Gen Z to me. But I think a lot of gen z terms have a root in things millennials did online in gaming circles and online forums. So it’s not “new” but more colloquial in their vocab where in my gen it was “nerd” talk
- Comment on I'm breakin' rocks in the hot sun 1 year ago:
Wear sunglasses at night
