That’s a good analogy.

Hey, you know what? Sure, let’s just do away with the electoral college altogether and make it one big federal election.
- Comment on 'Go Back and Play Morrowind and Tell Me That's the Game You Want to Play Again' — Former Bethesda Veteran Delivers His Verdict on Potential The Elder Scrolls Remasters - IGN 2 weeks ago:
Combat always ages poorly, because anything happening in real time requires muscle memory. As developers develop new combat mechanisms, it is constantly getting incrementally better. It’s like trying to compare a modern performance car to a Model T, or an '89 honda accord. The 65 Shelby Cobra doesn’t have bluetooth or antilock brakes or passenger airbags, but there are many enthusiastic fans of the car today. The modern Shelby Mustang is essentially a remake with modern tech trying to capture the spirit of the original.
That’s what we want. We want Morrowind, but better. The classic is still the classic, so we don’t need that again. Modders can reskin the game with better graphics.

That’s always the balance between time, quality, and cost. Fast and good js expensive, cheap and fast is crap, cheap and good requires time.
- Comment on Do people eat this? 2 weeks ago:
I can understand the appeal of a piece of bread that’s been soaked or buttered or even just toasted and salted. I bet that’s delicious, if done right.
My question is, why the other two slices of bread? What’s the thinking there? Why not have three slices of delicious middle bread? If the bread is good enough on its own, why not eat it alone?
It’s like if you made a drink of tepid water by adding ice cubes to a glass of warmed water and then letting them completely melt until room temperature. Who is this recipe for? “Oh, but maybe the ice cubes are flavored” OK then why freeze them before melting them? “Maybe the hot water is flavored with herbs that rele-” Bitch, that’s tea.
I’m so confused, I’m getting mad at imaginary arguments I’m having with hypothetical morons about analogous situations that only exist in my head.

I don’t believe you’re honestly anything.
- Comment on That's a whole lotta hydrogen! 2 weeks ago:
See what you’re doing now is called sea-lioning, where you pretend you have been misunderstood, and you’re just trying to have a civil conversation. You shared a nazi arguement, and if you feel you’ve been misunderstood, you’re free to clarify what you meant to say. I’ve said my peace, so if you want to keep pretending you’re not a bigot, then you’ll need to do more than insist others prove it.
- Comment on That's a whole lotta hydrogen! 2 weeks ago:
I feel like I was fairly clear about that. It’s the one where you use bad science to justify bigotry and crimes against humanity. For example, your comment earlier in this thread about how certain people shouldn’t exist because ova and sperm are the only gametes.
- Comment on That's a whole lotta hydrogen! 3 weeks ago:
Which is it, you don’t want to defend the nazi argument, or you do want to defend the nazi argument?
- Comment on That's a whole lotta hydrogen! 3 weeks ago:
Literally every sentence you typed is entirely inaccurate. It’s bad science promoted by bigots to create a convinient lie that permits them to discriminate and oppress people.
- Human genders are not defined by gamete types.
- Sex is not defined by gamete types.
- Sexual development charts are generalizations across average humans, and do not necessarily represent any one individual’s sexual development.
- You can’t hide your bigotry behind peer-reviewed biology papers and textbooks. The actual science doesn’t support it.
- Gonochorism is not relevant to the psychosexual development of humans. It’s a term used to differentiate animals that change sexes due to environmental factors, like alligators and snails. Nobody is claiming that transgender individuals are simultaneously hermaphroditic. It’s a biological strawman argument that belies the insincerity of your argument.
In short, fuck off with your nazi bullshit.

The first Shazam was the best movie of that continuity. The second one should have featured Black Adam, instead of giving him his own movie.

OP might have massive hands.
- Comment on The shrinkflation 5 weeks ago:
This is always my concern. Actually frying something takes minutes, but heating, cooling, straining, and storing significant volumes of oil just doesn’t justify the convenience. If I want fried food, I’m going to a restaurant.
- Comment on Bicycles should be allowed on the road with the full rights and requirements (tags, inspections, and insurance) as motor vehicles. 1 month ago:
Ok, but do you actually think that every bicycle rider should be licensed, inspected, and insured?
- Comment on I'm looking for the best free online storage site my files. That is heavily encrypted and respect people's privacy, what would you suggest? 1 month ago:
If something is free, then you’re the product. Your data will be used for whatever the storage provider would like. For example, Google Photos was initially very generous with storage, because they were using your photos to train their recognition software. Gmail is reading your emails to build our your advertising profile. Your data is a commodity, and your privacy, if you protect it, is valuable.
The best way to do what you’re asking for, to ensure privacy and security, is to self-host. There’s an initial cost, and some maintenance fees over time, but you’ll also be investing in learning valuable skills in your free time.
- Comment on Has anyone seen thier stuff getting sold on Storage Wars? 1 month ago:
Not for nothing, but those reality shows are often staged. If they “find” something interesting and potentially valueable every episode, you can bet it was probably planted. Most people store old furniture and clothing in storage units, and people probably wouldn’t even recognize their own stuff. A box of old coats? A generic cherry armoire from the 1980s? Old documents? Even bulky sporting goods like skis and golf clubs don’t have any actual value.
That’s not to say they never find something valuable, but they might obfuscate where exactly it came from to try to reduce lawsuits. If they find anything that could be easily identified by the original owner, especially if it is extremely valuable, they aren’t going to put that into the show at all.

If that were true, they would be on every jug of milk, and they would all be the same size.

- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
With plastic blown molds, especially when you make millions of them, there are going to be slight variations in the sizes. If the jug is too big, they use the dimple to reduce the volume of milk you can fit inside. The bigger the jug, the deeper the dimple. If you look at many jugs at the store, they will all be roughly the same diameter but different depths. Some don’t have any dimple at all.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
That’s fair. You can believe what you want. But that doesn’t make it less true.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
If the jug holds slightly more than a gallon, if you squeeze the sides, it holds less.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
Fresh milk that’s been pasteurized and refrigerated should last at least three weeks.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
Or they check the volume before they are filled. Air pressure or water could be used to check the capacity.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
It’s added after molding the jugs and the volume is checked, but before the milk is filled.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
The labels go on the flat sides, and the dimples would get in the way. The bottoms of the jugs are usually a thicker plastic, but I can’t say for sure that this is why they don’t put the dimple there.
- Comment on I need to vent about plastic milk jugs 1 month ago:
It’s a US thing. A gallon of milk will last my family about two weeks, or less if the kids are into baking or cereal that week. I sometimes put a little milk in my coffee or tea, and I occasionally use some for making sauces or marinades. Very rarely will we throw away milk because it has spoiled, but it has happened. Maybe once a year or so, usually because of a power outage or having to travel unexpectedly.
We also have half-gallon plastic jugs which feature the same dent sometimes. When I was a kid, I remember we even had tiny pint-sized jugs for half and half, but I think that was more of a novelty.

- Comment on What's going on with Quentin Tarantino? 2 months ago:
So is Matthew Lillard. The whole thing feels oddly personal. Like if he had said “I didn’t like Dano in There Will Be Blood” you could understand that’s just a professional opinion. Maybe he thought someone else could have done better. But making it insulting undercuts his credibility as an impartial critic.
