- Comment on Pow-- 11 hours ago:I don’t really understand white supremecy from a fundamental level. Like, genetically, we’re pretty crap. If there were racial selection on the character creation screen of life, I wouldn’t have rolled this inferior shit. 
- Comment on Nearly 90% of Windows Games now run on Linux, latest data shows — as Windows 10 dies, gaming on Linux is more viable than ever 2 days ago:It’s really easy and quick to install a distro so you can just test them out. Get three you think you’d like, try em out, you’ll probably like all of them, but you get to pick your fav. There is no “best”, just “best for you”. If gaming is your focus and you just want to go into Linux without research, I’d start with Ubuntu or Mint for a couple weeks. If you’re liking it, check out some others, but don’t be surprised if you go back to Ubuntu or Mint simply because you found them easy and working just fine. There’s no wrong choice, just lots of good ones. It is all up to how you like it with no anxiety of making a bad choice 😁 
- Comment on Fictional 4 days ago:we already had meters before we knew the speed of light. It’s true. Genesis 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth and the metric system. Genesis 1:3 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

- Comment on The Pennsylvania Ave. Ikea 5 days ago:It’s going to look tacky. You’ve seen what he’s done to the Oval Office. It’ll be $230M for that slap-dash look of awful design populated with gilded nonsense to try seem classy. 
- Comment on The history of soup 6 days ago:That explains eruptions in the fermentation stage. 
- Comment on snail lyfe 6 days ago:Yeah, it’s the parents. Their views are passed on with every minute in the household. Children absorb. 
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 6 days ago:Yeah. Few times a week I go to mine to chat with all the locals over two or three beers then head home. It’s a nice way to wind down, be out, and socialise at a really low intensity. No organising is needed, just arrive and there’ll be someone there you know. That was kind of the point of pubs (public house). A place for the community to meet up in any weather and have a good time together whether games, sharing stories, or having a meal. The smaller the town, the friendlier and more tight the patrons are too. Also great places to frequent when travelling, meeting new locals, getting great travel advice, making friends for the few days you’re there. 
- Comment on thats all 1 week ago:It’s all situational. A skirt is better than both if you’re not doing anything where a seam is needed. But I’d rather hike or swim in something with trunks. 
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 1 week ago:There’s a lot of dim people here. Myself included. 
- Comment on Louvre security vs CVS 1 week ago:There’s a locked liquor cabinet at my local store. It’s at the back with the wines and cheeses. Trying to find someone to open it for you is such a mission. And because it only boasts lower end spirits, you feel like such an fiend chasing down a store member who can radio the person with the key, who takes five mins to arrive, just for a bottle of low-mid tier whiskey. There’s $10 sake in there. On the unlocked shelf next to it you could grab a $60 merlot. 
- Comment on More than 1,200 games journalists have left the media in the last two years | VGC 1 week ago:Getting news off Lemmy is a shit-for-brains idea. It’s 70% bias saturated US politics links. I have no.idea how people keep lapping it up, but I hear that’s the culture of Americans being told what to believe and do based on their feeds. You can block keywords, though, so if anyone posts any interesting news, you may even get to see it. 
- Comment on Fucking math... 1 week ago:Mine brain just does 0.75 × 4. Thought process was… - Get 1% = 0.75
- Double it = 1.5
- Double it = 3

- Comment on Has anyone noticed these new spam techniques used by music channels on youtube? 2 weeks ago:Blocked Shorts in first weeks because it quickly was full of this. And if anyone wants to discover music, get a scrobbler for a good music network. By design, algorithms pigeonhole. That’s just how math works. You need the tried and true method of community sharing and (most) scrobblers are, essentially, a modern take on “word of mouth”. Music has only ever been best discovered and broadened to listeners when recommended from other explorers. 
- Comment on Reddit's AI Suggests Users Try Heroin 2 weeks ago:Are you telling me the very shifted definition of Artificial Intelligence no actually lacks intelligence?! Next you’ll be trying to tell me it’s just old mathematical algorithms running incredibly fast on modern technology so as to give the illusion of machine intelligence. 
- Comment on Assetto Corsa Rally announced for Early Access in November 2 weeks ago:AC Evo is tracking at exactly the pace they had planned, but I share the concern. I’d rather Evo continue unhindered. Was expecting they’d meet the goals above the bare minimum. The driving, at least, seems to be exceptionally ahead. But ya, all the other features, might be bare minimum ticked which is always disappointing. Have to lsonremember the demand for rlly over track sim at the moment too. Seems it’d be better to make rally off the sicc ss of a polished Evo rather than try tackle two at once. 
- Comment on Xbox requires age verification now 2 weeks ago:Why? Everyone is 12. We’ve known this as long as Xbox Live has existed. 
- Comment on I do it at least 35 times just in case 2 weeks ago:Certainly increases the chances for strokes. 
- Comment on I do it at least 35 times just in case 2 weeks ago:Since this is just picture witha “scientists” statement, which are usually false facts … Compared to men who reported 4–7 ejaculations per month across their lifetimes, men who ejaculated 21 or more times a month enjoyed a 31% lower risk of prostate cancer. 
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:Yeah. Immigration and emigration are really normal innocent terms to sort of explain populus as a commodity around a country’s borders. Social, economical, skills, etc. They’re just normal things countries enact to increase, decrease, or balance depending on their internal situation. And that’s entirely reasonable because it’s the only thing in place that kind of controls our species’ population to secure itself and all the shit we impact on ourselves and the environment. So, it makes sense for a country to open up when it can sustain or needs more people. It’s like leaving the door open, “Come on in, please.” In other times, it’s to prevent damage like, “Sorry, we’d normally love to have you but we can’t afford it right now unless you’re bringing your own beer.” The US, right now, with it’s low employment rate and Trump’s dreams of being self-sustaining in many industries, guess what? The US needs to open up its borders BIG TIME for that and needs to incentivise it for that scale too. But to many Americans, “immigrants” does not mean that. Could b the smartest motherfucker out there, but they don’t care you’re a dual PhD holder and know four languages, you have an accent and your skin is white; you’re a fucking “immigrant” lol. 
- Comment on Turning Point Australia moves into SA 3 weeks ago:Weaker minds are easily influenced by charisma and content. 
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:Have done similar in high altitude. It’s great for when the gloves come off starting a fire. I’m against the one-use heat packs and don’t take electrics besides nav, light, and beacon. Then once you’ve got good parameter bearings, you can pour it out in the designated “pee spot”. 
- Comment on What possible evolutionary advantage is offered by my ears suddenly sprouting tons of hair? 3 weeks ago:At a certain age your ears have heard enough bullshit and it’s time to start enjoying life. 
- Comment on Fucking why though? Are cows endangered? 4 weeks ago:lol is being squeezed “Hey! I’m warning you!” gets squeezed harder “Any more of that and I’ll do something, mister!” harder again “This is your final warning!” harder “One more squeeze from you and you’ll be sorry!” 
- Comment on Well fuck me then 4 weeks ago:It’s doing OP a favour. The “Diet” means nothing and $1 for $1 Cke is worse for your body than coke. 
- Comment on In the long ago past, people needed to do THIS 4 weeks ago:You just gave me a good idea running off the same sort of concept, but allowing for numerical characters too. Whenever I gotta do my mandatory 90 day resets, I’ll pick a song title followed by the track length in 4 digits. Make a playlist of those songs in case I’m an idiot, and I basically have the passwords written down on a notepad. 
- Comment on In the long ago past, people needed to do THIS 4 weeks ago:It’s trying to remember which end number I’m up to for this password. 
- Comment on advertisement 5 weeks ago:Oh, I dunno. I just had a pipe burst under the house because it froze. I don’t think a quick psh psh up the faucet was going to help lol. If I’m honest, it was my fault for being alone that night. I shouldn’t blame the plumbing.
