- Comment on Boomers with their loud Samsung phone sounds 4 days ago:
The most annoying phone thing to me is Zoomers / teens / old people / anyone with videos and music playing from their shitty little phone speakers in public. A lot of kids seem to be phone and tablet addicts and don’t comprehend the noise they’re making is bothering others.
But a few notification sounds is nothing. It’s all about the quantity and duration and volume. Personally I don’t put my phone on Silent or Vibrate unless I’m in a quiet public place like a movie or an office - but I also control all notifications with a heavy hand, not allowing any bullshit apps notification permission unless it’s an important direct communication.

The twist is that M-Night-Shamaland is also the lady who wrote the movie and is suing himself to get attention to this shit that I never heard of before
- Comment on Anon hates smartphones 4 weeks ago:
It’s really sad to me that people think that smartphones are the source of all entertainment now. Even today I use my phone very little on a daily basis. You’re limiting your perspective to that little screen in your hand instead of exploring the real world.
Smartphones are what is fucking boring to me. I don’t want to sit around and look at that shit.

SteamVR is great also, provides a native VR system that Epic doesn’t have
- Comment on Anon is a nostalgic gamer 1 month ago:
I don’t listen to any cunts in online games, voice chat is off. For some reason the kids these days think you can’t play a game without a headset and mic on. I don’t even own one of those dumbass headsets. I can still be competitive in FPS games without any of that too.
- Comment on Has "Self-Driving" devolved? 2 months ago:
In a non-Tesla car I’ve driven, there was an autopilot cruise control mode that just used cameras. In practice it only works out well if you’re driving long distance on a highway with low traffic. It’s still nice to have (much better than having no autopilot cruise mode) but I don’t trust it around multiple lanes of other cars doing unpredictable shit. Also quits working in the rain when the cameras are obscured.

Well I hope you use cash for all purchases and wear a mask that covers your face, otherwise everything you bought is recorded along with your identity in the store systems and potentially sold to 3rd parties like advertising companies, maybe to your health insurance company too.
- Comment on Ok boomer 3 months ago:
I only prefer self checkout when I’m buying rubbers and lube. Anything else I’d rather have the checkout person scan and bag for me.
If you have social anxiety, the checkout person conversation is one of the easiest interactions for you to practice those skills on. “Hello, here are my items, thank you” is about the gist of what’s necessary.
- Comment on There you go little guy 3 months ago:
I don’t want the law changed where I live, because these cameras are prohibited!
Several states in the USA prohibit speed cameras and traffic light cameras, because a citizen must be able to face their accuser when accused of a crime. This is a great example of freedom in the USA, where we do not let machines automatically issue fines against human beings.
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 3 months ago:
My experience has been that they last for more years than I tend to notice which ones are which. I’m not mad at all about their longevity.
I had 2 LED bulbs that I know for sure that I bought prior to 2015 that only recently failed. Those bulbs lasted at least 9-10 years. The rest of my bulbs I haven’t kept up with but those 2 older ones looked very distinctive with aluminum heatsink material for their bottom halves.
- Comment on How Do Archers Resist Firing Arrows At Everyone In The Spectator Gallery? 4 months ago:
Y’all have problems if you think about shooting people whenever there is an option to fire a projectile. This was an Onion article BTW.
If anybody thought this post was a serious question the answer is that people usually don’t want to shoot people.
Actually did some backyard archery practice with my son today. All we wanted to shoot was that bullseye on the foam target.

You just need to stop telling yourself you can’t do things and do whatever you want. A child could build a nuclear reactor, so what’s stopping you?
- Comment on Elden Ring Player to Sue FromSoftware Over High Game Difficulty 5 months ago:
To beat Malenia I used the Fallingstar Beast Jaw gravity-lightning attack with Mimic Tear doing it too. It slows her down with lots of poise damage and it does high damage. I think I added a magic potion combo of the one that makes you have high equipment capacity (for light rolling) and the one that increases poise damage.

- Comment on Somehow USB disks are still the easiest and most reliable way 5 months ago:
It’s really not if you have the right setup at home, instead of using somebody else’s servers. Like nobody has a NAS or their own servers?
It’s much nicer not worrying about who can get to my files in the cloud, when they’re not in the cloud.
- Comment on "30 minutes or it's free" back then was wild 5 months ago:
Cellular calling and text can still work without Internet, using separate channels wholly owned by the telcos.
- Comment on "30 minutes or it's free" back then was wild 5 months ago:
Plenty of people can still answer the phone and write down orders, and payment systems have offline modes. The Internet is not an absolute necessity even now for food delivery to happen.

- Comment on How To Prevent Damage to Your DVDs and Blu-Rays 6 months ago:
Good summary. UV light and heat are the long term dangers to optical media, and scratches from mishandling them is the main short term usage danger.
I have music CDs that are 30+ years old that I bought new in the 1990s that still play just fine. Following these rules preserved them.

- Comment on is this the right way to establish boundaries with my nosy coworkers at the hospital? 6 months ago:
The only one of those responses you listed that might not make people upset is this one:
‘I don’t talk about religion, politics or my private life with coworkers and I hope you respect that’
All of the others are going to go over poorly, if you are concerned about that.
- Comment on Blow dart 6 months ago:
I have actually done this too, I have pics of the darted roach somewhere. I think it took me 3 shots to get one to hit it.
The roach does not die from the dart, it’s just going to keep moving until you pull it down and squash it or something. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you just want to get some live target practice and need to kill a roach.
