The real takeaway for me from posts like this is that 4chan must be aging. Kids are, at the very least, becoming stupid somewhere else.

I don’t actually disagree with anything you said, I was just being a bit cheeky

Context clues are enough for me, 4/7 times

Coldest take: if any common date format is difficult for you, you’re a little bit ridiculous

What a treat, and what a win for self-hosting. I wish they talked more about how they did it in the article.
- Comment on Krull (1983) - Mastodon watch party this Sunday evening! 6 days ago:
I just love how specific that moment is, where you could bill your story as being “beyond all imagination” and it’s literally a fight between an evil monster and a heroic king.

The people who enjoyed the joke just upvote and move on. But yes, we do have a lot of folks who do not embrace obliquity.

My kid and I finished this game late last year and it’s his all time fav. We love this!
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 1 week ago:
I haven’t been into FPS for several years, but if I was going to play anything current, I’d give The Forever Winter a look. It’s still being worked on, but the early access gameplay is really cool looking, and it’s bringing a lot of ideas to the table creatively.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 1 week ago:
You just got done telling me they are reporting as fact something that is likely not so, and now you are scoffing at me for not having wasted my time. If there is any reason for this article to still be published or even discussed, it has eluded me.

Oh, so it’s just ragebait and they’re reporting on nothing? I fell for it.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 GameCube controller is only compatible with GameCube games, Nintendo says 1 week ago:
It’s so stupid. I have literally plugged GC controllers into my Switch with an adapter hub, and they worked with non-GC games. This is deliberately worse.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
Sorry for that, it gets hard sometimes when I start accidentally living the examined life for a second
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
It’s Watchguard. Though looking at their site, it seems like there might be support that I wasn’t able to find last time I looked into this. Definitely want to dual boot at some point. I’ve got a Surface Book 3 though, and I know it needs special kernel stuff to get working properly, so I’d almost rather just wait until my boss retires and everyone’s out of a job to dive into Linux. Easier than finding spare time in my life. Living the dream
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 week ago:
I want to move to Linux, but I need to be able to use the VPN service my work uses and I’m just not sure how to get it working on Linux. I should just dual boot.

I’m partial to “the devil shits on the biggest pile”
If things are really bad it’s just “living the dream”
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
In times of crisis, you’re liable to find out what you’re really made of. For all of history, unassuming folk have been surprised to find that they are made of pretty stern stuff.
That’s not to say we all come out of it looking heroic. In order to do that, we must be fortunate enough to realise that just because the world can be cruel, doesn’t mean we need be.
I guess I’m so many words my answer is that you will have to trust in yourself a little that you’ll know how to look after yourself. The real trick is going to be looking after the ones around you who make survival so much easier in the long run.

Likely, but it’s pretty minimal effort for a chance at saving the effort they were considering to fix it.

You might just get some paint thinner and try to use a swab to get the paint off the optical sensor
- Comment on I don't have any kids or anything but want some one day. I grew up under the fog of 9/11. How do you go about explaining terrorism and evil to young kids without storybooking it? 1 week ago:
To equivocate, being a parent is by far the most difficult thing I’ve ever done, easily four times as hard as I expected. I have never been so ill used, overwhelmed, driven mad, exhausted, and neurotic in my life. And the only reason for all that stress is how much I want to do a good job. If I was stupid and didn’t give a shit about him, it would be pretty easy, as you say.
That said, actually worrying about doing well is a promising early sign in a prospective parent.

I have nothing to take away from that, I have one that’s six and this is basically my approach so far.
One thing I’ve learned to do is to demonstrate what to do when I don’t know something. If I don’t know a certain fact, I’ll go to Wikipedia on the spot and see if it’s there.
I’m also not perfect, but I’m a big fan of it and I support it with donations so yeah. Least I can do is provide an example that doesn’t involve an AI overview.
