• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m all software/data engineer, so for work I obviously use a computer all the time. I also have a very nice personal computer but it doesn’t get as much use anymore as it used to. I play the occasional game on it, use it for tracking our budget/finances and stuff once a month, manage my plex server, and do the occasional random task on it that requires things like typing or photo editing. But it’s not been getting a lot of attention since I finished school, even less since having my daughter.

  My phone is my main device for most of my entertainment, web surfing, news reading, banking, etc. plus it keeps my todos/shopping lists, my wife and I’s shared calendar, my alarms, digital coupons for groceries, GPS… all of my regular day to day task helpers. Not to mention is takes and stores my photos, allows me to call and text people, and gives me mobile access to my cloud files and services. It’s definitely my primary device.

  But I still love me computer and wish I had more time to do my own work on it.

  No shit, what incentive does he have? “Give me half of your mineral resources, and I will let Russia have everything they want from you? Refuse, and I will pull back support and let Russia try to get everything they want from you.”

  You know what is next right? This fucking supervillain wannabe is going to flip the script and arm Russian troops or send forces to help Russia take over Ukraine for refusing. At the very least, he will threaten it to get what he wants from Ukraine. Mark my words. We have spent decades building a military that has (ostensibly) policed and defended the world, and now the fucking Blofeld parody dumber than Dr. Evil is at the reigns and will use that military to threaten and extort sovereign nations and allies across the world to gain whatever he wants on this day of the week. This is the worst and stupidest fucking timeline!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The one drawback to walking at night⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My suburb neighborhood is filled with walkers and it is super unsafe at night. They decided when they built it that they didn’t want to to create and maintain sidewalks and street lamps, so people always walk in the road and the only lights are the lamp posts at the end of people’s driveways. And almost nobody wears reflectives, or carries lights or anything on their person. Particularly when you’re blinded by an oncoming car’s lights, it’s nearly impossible to see people until you’re right up on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steven Seagal Movie Out For A Kill Is So Lazy He Fights Sitting Down - Worst Movie Ever⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I never really watched many action movies growing up, so I had never seen and Steven Seagal films, but I did know of him and mentally put him at the level of like Van Damme. I’m the last few years it’s become apparent that he’s pretty much a complete joke, and basically always has been. But I don’t think He was recognized as such at his peak, was he? Did people always think he was cringe or were his films and performances actually received with earnest appreciation and applause?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hogwarts Legacy Official Mod Support Confirmed For This Week⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, and you can’t divorce the fact that she profits from all official media associated with the Harry Potter and paying for said media inescapable enriches her more. However, it is also true that the team that made this game did an amazing job of a creating a hogwarts/ Wizarding world that feels real and amazing, that they do not support her bigotry, and that included a non-token well-respected open trans character who gets to share her story as part of the main quest line of the game. Supporting the game is not, in itself, support of trans bigotry. It’s complicated.

  Someone in our sister office bought one for people to sample today. The one review I heard was that it wasn’t bad, like salted pumpkin spice. That makes sense because Skyline chili is not chili. I’ve been calling it pumpkin spice meat sauce for years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Multiverse⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Infinite options does not mean all options.

  Right, as you said the natural numbers is an infinite set but it doesn’t contain fractional numbers between adjacent natural numbers. The set of natural numbers also doesn’t contain letters, or colors, or varieties of geese. You can even add other constraints to the set and still have an infinite set that contains even fewer possible values, like you could have the set of all natural numbers that don’t contain the digit 3.

  People make the mistake of thinking that a multiverse means that there is every conceivable version of a universe out there, but that’s not the case. Murphy’s law says that anything that can happen will happen, but that means things are still constrained by what can happen. Reality is constrained by consistent logic, the most basic of which is the identity law, p = p. It is a contradiction for both p and ~p to be true, a violation of reality. So if the multiverse is a reality, it is a single reality that is self consistent, meaning there is no Universe in the multiverse for which there doesn’t exist a multiverse.

  Not sure if it’s originally Portuguese, Spanish, or French but yeah, definitely seems like it was originally some romantic language originally and they just translated it one to one to English without considering the context.

  For example in Spanish, E for Estrella (star) makes sense.

  She probably has to do a lot of shimmying of her hips as she pushes them down. Probably takes a fair amount of pushing, so she probably makes little grunts of effort too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you save, we will charge you more⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s certainly some reasonability to that. However, if the person decides to terminate service, maintaining the grid doesn’t become any cheaper for the power company. The lines are already installed, the connections made, and the company will continue to upkeep your connection all the way up to your home, even if it is terminated locally. They’ll do that just in case you or future homeowners wish to continue service, and your neighbors will likely still be using it anyway. So by that same reasoning, maintaining a just-in-case service connection that you don’t typically need because you generate your own power also doesn’t result in increased maintenance costs to the power company. So there is also an argument to be made that that cost shouldn’t be pushed to them, but to the power drawers that the power company actually wants to serve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure. It would be personally meaningful. Changing your name is always meaningful, I would hope. But it is not contributing to the the dismantling of the patriarchal norms. Not every action has to be, of course. But the conceit of this post is implied to be that her intention was just that, a rejection of patriarchal naming conventions. If that was her intention, it was misguided and failed to achieve that goal.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The context of the meme implied she was doing it because she’s a feminist and that taking her mother’s name was somehow an expression of that. Of course she can do that, but it isn’t achieving anything if that was the goal

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t my post, just advocating for OP

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I never realized this⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah… it can be interpreted that way. But even as a feminist myself, it is a dumb performative sort of protest. Paternal surnames are the least important fixtures of our patriarchal society, and, unless it was created wholecloth, there are no surnames that aren’t patriarchal historical lyrics, as the meme points out.
