  Oh nice, infinite pixel version.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨titta... slosh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Nope, from this day forward, you will be known as the guy reading the comic about the poopy toilet to some randos on your bus.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wear your seatbelt⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Same argument could be applied to parents who brutally beat their kids to stop certain behaviours. Which doesn’t necessarily mean you’re wrong, but that the overall morality of being an asshole to encourage some greater good is complicated.

  Though I’d also wonder at the motivation. Was it to teach a lesson the only way OP knew how or because he was pissed at being defied and wanted to dish out some abuse and call it karma?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wear your seatbelt⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. This is like jamming something in someone’s eye because they refused to wear safety glasses. If you don’t want to drive someone who refuses to wear a seatbelt, then don’t drive them. It’s not a license to assault them. Guy who slammed on the breaks is the bigger asshole, even.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think the PPE is for⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks pretty much right to me. Though hydrogen is sitting on top of fluorine for some reason and there appears to be a box in hydrogen’s normal spot, but maybe it’s to emphasize the chemical similarities between hydrogen and that column as well as the column it’s usually shown in. The numbers are hard to read and I didn’t look anything up to verify, but they look correct from what I can see, if a bit less clear than most for how the actinium and lanthanum series fit in.

  Friction heat from tidal forces.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A handy chart⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It is lots of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Xbox: "Price Increases Are Never Fun For Anybody"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s because it was pretty much the Netflix of video games. Pay a subscription and you get access to a collection of games.

  When it was 5.99 it was a no brainer. I think I cancelled mine around 13.99, though not because of the price but because I always forgot it existed and it tied me to windows. Switched to Linux and cancelling was a part of that transition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A handy chart⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The moon is slowly migrating away from the earth into higher orbits (due to the earth spinning faster than the Moon’s orbit), eventually it could escape with a gravity assist from Mars or Venus. It’ll have tidal consequences for Earth, but not like catastrophic (though I suspect it might allow the earth’s core to cool a bit faster, which could be the beginning of the end of life on earth).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember the past⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I remember back when they were Vin Diesel jokes and then suddenly people were doing them with Chuck Norris instead. And I wondered why people were so into that guy on the Texas cop propaganda show.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If it were the case, how would one prove it or even show evidence for it? And similar question for if it isn’t the case, how would you disprove or show evidence against it? I’m not even sure how one would prove that cats have a concept of species.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon learns about history⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Wasn’t there at least one other time where “failure means death” turned into “guess we might as well just try to take over”?

  Time I’m thinking about was when an emperor had summoned some warlords to be there by x date or die and one group realized they weren’t going to make it by the date, so since they had their armies with them anyways, they just pivoted from answering summons to invading/conquering. Not sure that one worked out though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of the reasons I won’t consider traveling to the US because I think how any of those work out is going to depend on the luck of how others involved are feeling in that moment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets rid of drop box⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ironically, from what I understand (haven’t done direct comparisons myself), a lot of games written for windows run just as well or better on linux.

  DOTA 2 is just noteworthy to me because it’s an exception to the “other than competitive games” exception. And while I can’t say for sure that no one is hacking on there, I have yet to see any blatant cases of it (though admittedly it might be difficult to tell in a game where it’s normal for some players to snowball significantly over others).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nostalgia⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I find the “AI slop” commenters as annoying as the “that didn’t happen/everyone clapped/albert einstein handed you a $100 bill” ones. Their contribution is shittier than what they are commenting on even when they are correct, but it’s not rare to see a comment like that followed by the dumbest logic as to why they think that’s the case (especially on reddit).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon gets rid of drop box⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Though on that note, I started playing a lot of DOTA 2 on linux without issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fatherhood⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also the ships are run like military ships (which they are), starfleet is very top-down authoritative. I also wasn’t a huge fan of how they treated any local laws like gospel, even when they were about to cost a crew member their life or freedom for stupid reasons.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon dates a 19 y/o⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But honey, the doctor said I could have sex with other women if I waited 8 weeks after the surgery, so it’s not cheating!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't enjoy anything⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Though not first hand witness accounts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon doesn't believe⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The uncanny valley is pretty wide these days.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some arcades were actually a bit more manipulative than that in that they’d get harder depending on how long it was since you last put a quarter in.

  Mortal Kombat was one. I noticed this pattern on the snes version of MK3 (can’t remember if it was ultimate or not that I had): I’d easily win one fight, then get demolished by the next fighter. Then continue and that same fighter would be easy, only for the next one after that to be much more difficult. I didn’t have to put quarters into my snes but they just used the same tuning from the arcade machines.

  Eventually when I played that game, I was spending much more time on the space invaders minigame lol.

  Those aren’t pens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No brainer⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Or maybe you get gravel in the same sense that someone could own Jupiter or a star. “You now own all the gravel in that quary!” But it doesn’t inform the workers of that fact, or the officials who still rely on whatever paperwork was filled out by the agents of the guy who paid them to ensure the quary belongs to his corporation’s corporation. The whole idea of ownership is pretty abstract in the first place.

  Could be that every pill just means that, under the jurisdiction of the entity who made the pills, you are legally allowed to do what the pills claim, though you need to figure out the rest from there, and people from other jurisdictions are able to disagree even if you do figure out the how.

  Unless he was as skilled in robotics and engineering as a fish was at climbing trees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holup⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Get a “replace the pin in the grenade before the time runs out” alarm clock. Then, if you sleep in anyways, it won’t be your problem anymore.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨holup⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I thought you were going to say it was a BBQ sauce spiced with Carolina Reapers. In which case, avoid using heavy amounts in groin area and sleep with goggles on. Maybe even tie your hands up so you don’t scratch anywhere in your sleep.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon hires a goth chick⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll take it in another direction from the other responses and just say: people give too much of a fuck about this idea of virginity.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Good for plants⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve wondered if it was because the air vibrations that sound is help knock dust loose from the plant, which helps gasses get in and out as well as more light.

  Heavy metal probably has the most vibration going on out of all genres.

  Hey you should have some pride in your dad, being able to keep going longer than a movie!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Modern Windows in a nutshell⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Libreoffice does this without forcing you to allow them to store all of your files. Because it’s a feature that doesn’t rely on any kind of cloud bs, MS just added that requirement because they are assholes that have no respect for their users.
