I got in an argument with a toaster and now I lost a bet and I’m here just to get my house back.

It’s just a basic courtesy. You will get far more people willing to help by saying “I don’t know this, how do I [enter whatever you need to know]” good luck out there!

I am an ultimate raider in FFXIV. If I am traveling around, ask away. One of the greatest things about our community is there a bunch of people that love to help and teach. But you have to be honest about where you are at. If you don’t know, say something. But if you pretend to be further ahead and people are expecting to beat something, it will be awkward. But that’s raiding. The rest is just finding what you like about it. There are usually tons of discord channels that helps you find what you are interested in.

- Comment on Did something about mass produced ice cream change like 10 years ago? 1 week ago:
Freezers are far more efficient and able to compensate for the ambient temperatures. I appreciate the softer stuff. But remember having to de ice freezers in my youth.

It is a movie. Not a documentary.
- Comment on Enshittification only hurts product itself, not users. 1 week ago:
I don’t see a need to for myself. I went dual boot to make sure I could acclimate with my usage. The only thing that didn’t play well was my HP printer. Which isn’t a loss IMO.
- Comment on US Elections question: Bernie Sanders said that the Democrats abandoned the working class, and the working class abandoned them. How is this true? 1 week ago:
I voted Harris, but the Democrats need to abandon neo liberalism and embrace economic populism. People need affordable housing, healthcare, affordable healthy food, and a plan for the climate that doesn’t involve mass extinction.
She did do this. It didn’t resonate. Who knows what will get through in 4 years. Because who knows where this train is going. They need the house and congress to make real moves.

I suggest unbuntu or mint for your first. To get acclimated. Arch and others are cool, but they are intense. I run mint and I can play 99 percent of my old games on it through steam.

- Comment on Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect? 1 week ago:
It’s always to distract you from who is really pulling the strings. The super wealthy.
- Comment on Whelp 1 week ago:
This is my biggest concern. Like whatever on economy. Do I want more for everyone? Absolutely. But those can come back in 5-10 years.
The environment doesn’t have that long. We had the hottest summer and about to have the coldest winter and they are all like “let’s go orange man!” And not giving a fuck what they leave for the next generation. So fuckin selfish. I hate them so much.
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 1 week ago:
I am not giving you personal information. Especially since you seem like some unhinged troll. I worked in an election. It’s easily proven. How else would they know that 15 Bob Smiths didn’t vote in every adjacent county. And for every issue? How do you think they verify if they are alive? Just magic and pixie dust?

You do know I worked in an election? For everyone else this person is grandstanding!

Oh you can tell. But it’s not going to be easy to report it without getting caught. Part of the process is auditing. We would take certain stacks that had incomplete marks and try and figure out who or what they meant. But it’s just hi ho hum work because it’s a madhouse. Remembering that Betty Smith voted for Prop 17 by the end of the day would be really difficult without being very obvious that was who you were looking for.
Then there are verifications on who voted at all that were registered to the right polls. All their answers are on their ballots. Security is what keeps it secret and a precise way of dealing with it. In a big room with many eyes. Kind of like a casino’s money vault.

I read certain phrases from what they wrote and it infers that people do not know who voted for who or what. That just isn’t the mechanism. It’s done by computers. It has to be tabulated for a multitude of reasons. It’s not anonymous to the mechanism. It is anonymous to the public. Which is not what the original statement. It was that the trust is built from no one at all ever knowing or being to tell.

They can tell who votes. Your entire premise is based on a belief that votes are anonymous. They aren’t. They are pretected from the public. If you have ever worked in election, which I have, you would know that. You have to cross reference if someone voted twice, are alive, or even registered in the county they voted in. There are computers that verify electronic bullets and there are batch audits. No one is ever allowed to be alone even with one ballet. Everything is done in a team. If your partner calls in sick, you’re the third wheel to another team.
Just because the public doesn’t know doesn’t mean the government doesn’t know.

Well I think everyone rebels in one way or another. How each kid does that is up to them.
- Comment on I'd have to hear her argument, but... 3 weeks ago:
That is just one example. There are many natural drives that we still use. We eat. We breathe air. We drink water. There are plenty of natural drives that we cannot overcome. We are animals and all animals have things that affect their decisions.
- Comment on Five flavors 🤤 3 weeks ago:
Well there are two areas to explore here. The quality of the music and it’s message. And the parenting we endured. I became a metal head for both reasons. My parents music didn’t resonate with me. The over simplified music structure just bored me. There wasn’t anything epic about it. And then the message didn’t resonate when it was all happy rose gardens and unicorns. My dad was an abusive asshole. Metal gave me that angry outlet.
At least my mom understands where I come from even she doesn’t understand why I listen to what I listen to. She divorced him and shit changed. Now my son loves metal and his mom doesn’t get it.

I meant 10 billion yes. And this study was specifically for humans. Saying we aren’t animals and we don’t live by nature’s rules just simply isn’t factual. We do things a lot differently but no matter what we still have instincts and those instincts drive us. We can’t just take out the hardwiring.
- Comment on I'd have to hear her argument, but... 4 weeks ago:
That is not the only factor. But yes it would increase food capacity. But species are very aware of their drain on an eco system. We are starting to become more aware. But we know killing off one bug will effect harvests that effect everything including our food’s food.
- Comment on I'd have to hear her argument, but... 4 weeks ago:
That is NOT how species replicate. There are many factors where that number comes from. Including food and space to keep them. I read in college the max for humans is something like 10 million. But most scientists think it’s a already slowing down due to the struggles everyone deals with.

- Comment on Why isnt there an aftermarket way to bulk up pinch welds jack points on cars 5 weeks ago:
Because it’s usually pointless to anyone that knows how to work on cars. I use the frame. Because it’s where I’m going to put a jack and it’s faster. The only one I use is on one side of my Camaro to lift it high enough to use the frame on the other side because it’s lowered. They may get damaged but it’s only use is the side of the road to change a tire.

- Comment on Astrology 5 weeks ago:
It’s entertaining and fully generalized. “You are stubborn when faced with an issue you are passionate about. You are a natural born leader. You don’t take kindly to words of disrespect coming from people you don’t know.”
Well MOST people have these attributes. They just spin it in a long winded double-speak fashion to sound provocative and interesting. People believe it because they need something to believe in and everyone is on their own Hero’s Journey.
