Quite nicely, actually. Thanks for asking.

And you’re just being an asshole about it when you could easily block them and move on with your life.
I’ll take the person that writes with the funky letter, thanks.

This is exactly it.
- Comment on Is it weird that i talk to my pets more articulately than i sometimes talk to actual people? 1 week ago:
You’re not alone. I have very detailed convos with my cats all the time. I think its easier because you can say whatever you want and they won’t judge.
It’s almost like its own little mini catharsis sometimes.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 1 week ago:
If I didn’t have blood pressure issues, there is no way in hell I would subject myself to that BS 5/7 days of the week
You shouldn’t necessarily ever expect to enjoy doing something that you’re essentially forced to do. The gym is kinda like work for you so its perfectly reasonable that you hate it.
I love playing guitar and working on music but if I was ever forced to do it daily I would start hating it real quick. This is why I avoid monetization routes for my music that would require adhering to a routine.
When it comes to the gym, I’ve certainly gotten well into it to the point that it feels weird not to go. Same with running, but even more potent. I’d actually be in a shit mood if I had to skip a scheduled run for some reason.
Its a real bummer that you’re struggling to enjoy the gym, but I totally understand where you’re coming from. Life is busy and sometimes all that I have the bandwidth for is a beer on the couch after work. We all have our limits and that’s OK.
Glad to hear you’re pushing through it for the sake of your health. There’s likely no better reason to hit the gym. 💪

Hyper Light Drifter.
Not a word in the entire game. Still a masterpiece of storytelling.

Great story! I loved it.

I love how you said pencil lead instead of graphite
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 4 weeks ago:
Idiot is a very strong word to describe this. For a place so typically welcoming of neurodivergence this feels really dissonant in the grand scheme of things.
I get major ick vibes from this particular take on the situation.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 5 weeks ago:
I wish that was my life.

What a huge disappointment after the masterpiece that was Hyper Light Drifter.
I’m genuinely sad about this one.

A fancy ceremony doesn’t change how people feel about the other person, nor the level of obligations they actually have
You literally take an oath at the ceremony vowing to uphold an extremely high level of obligations to another person.
If you’re making vows at a wedding ceremony that you feel you can just nope out on if shit hits the fan, why are you getting married? What is the point?
I agree. The wedding shouldn’t change how you feel about the other person because you should already be 100% dedicated if you’re thinking of getting married.
I made a vow to my wife when we got married to care for her in sickness and in health. I do not care what happens in life, I would never abandon her. Period. That is the burden of the vow I made. In my mind my personal integrity is foundationally attached to it.
If you’re comfortable with abandoning a spouse over health issues, the marriage was a sham from the get go. Like, what are you doing at the ceremony? Making vows with your fingers crossed behind your back? 🤞🤞🤞
- Comment on Excuse the fuck me? 1 month ago:
Dunno, man. Its hard to say. When you marry you take vows. Breaking those vows is a massive no-no in my eyes.
Unmarried couples have never vowed to take care of each other in sickness and in health. On those grounds, I think its fair to say that leaving is not unethical. Doesn’t change the fact that its absolutely devastating and worthy of scrutiny regardless.
Sorry you had to go through that.
- Comment on does the quality of downloaded youtube video increase after being downloaded? 1 month ago:
Tell that to the GuitarTubers whose audio get squashed to oblivion.
I can literally hear pumping clear as day in response to loud moments. It absolutely is doing dynamic range compression.
Its so obvious that I realized I was logged out of my Youtube account after a browser update and had to disable it again.
- Comment on does the quality of downloaded youtube video increase after being downloaded? 1 month ago:
Turn off “Stable Volume” in Youtube’s video settings to disable dynamic range compression.
This is a must if you listen to music on Youtube.

- Comment on Not trying to disparage first responders on 911. Why aren't nurses included with fire and police departments? Did we not take care of people on the backend of the rescuing? 2 months ago:
What about all the people that breathed in that toxic cloud or injured themselves trying to run away from the chaos? Surely many of them ended up in hospital.

racing sims
oh I’m sorry I have a hobby that doesn’t require ongoing expenses
Sim racing is one of the most expensive video game related hobbies out there.
*Ask me how I know. *🤣 Jokes aside though, if you’re not competing in iRacing and you’re happy with a decent but entry-level/intermediate wheel its not so bad. It’s not hard to blow 10k real fast if you want to though!
- Comment on Did I used to be homophobic? Am I? 2 months ago:
People are allowed to ask honest questions and IMO this seems like one. If more people exercised self-reflection like this we might live in a better society.

I love when people throw around the idea of Canadian provinces just being up for grabs, as if we want anything to do with what’s going on south of the border.

Russia would love that.

They could also be rabid. Rabies can cause bats to wander out in the open where you wouldn’t normally expect to see one. Approaching a bat in a situation like this not a great idea. A call to wildlife rescue is a good idea in any case.

This was a great read. What a monumental effort to emulate that device. The perseverance is inspiring, honestly.

Ideally the advisory is going out over the radio too. People will hear it while driving and then spread by word of mouth.
