- Comment on When did Saturday Night Live get so cringe? 6 hours ago:
It was never improv.
- Comment on is my sister likely to be aroace? we think so but we would like a good starting point to help her on her journey. 6 hours ago:
Maybe just let her tell you, and leave her alone about it.
- Comment on Why did Trisha Paytas make a video calling out Keemstar when her own husband is a rapist, and she herself has defended actual predators? 6 hours ago:
I’m just going to point out that this community is for questions that you think are too engagingly stupid to ask in person.
It is NOT for rants disguised as questions.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
It ain’t over, till it’s over.
- Comment on Let's say hypothetically I wanted to leave the US permanently; 2 days ago:
That’s not what they said. You ignored the beginning of the sentence.
- Comment on How should a news article website financially sustain itself? 2 days ago:
Aside from maybe my local paper which reports on things NOBODY else cares about, there is not one source that I would want to invest in like that.
Paywalls nudge people towards choosing one or two sources for all of their information. The more sources they pay for, the less value each one provides.
Diversity of information is better for society.
- Comment on Why do steam games appear cheap in Asia? 2 days ago:
Looks to be a combination of the cleanest (rounded) number for that currency, and how much are the people there willing to pay.
- Comment on Do people in real life actually care who dates who and who is in or out of "people's leagues"? 3 days ago:
No. At the very most someone might say it, but that’s about the end of it. Unless someone is jealous, I can’t see why anyone would hold it against either of them.
- Comment on i know it's just a cartoon, but me and my therapist were thinking about this. what disorders would the spongebob characters have? 3 days ago:
Winnie the Pooh was MADE for this game!
- Comment on Adult costume for Frozen themed children’s party 3 days ago:
Yeah, you could be most of the male characters just by trying to match their outfit. Do a Google image search and find someone that kind of looks like you.
- Comment on Do we know how much apps would cost if we had to replace as revenue with subscription fees? 4 days ago:
But that’s never the end of the story.
Look at Hulu. It started free with ads, them went to paid, no ads, then went to paid with ads and pay more for no ads. When it comes to sources of revenue, it’s never this or that, it’s this AND that and keep looking for another.
- Comment on We all know crack was introduced primarily to black neighbor hoods. Why them? Why not people in the Appalachians? Or in Asian neighbor hoods all over the west coast? 4 days ago:
Because when you villify one group, the others will join you to fight against them.
If the poor whites and the poor blacks and the poor immigrants ever realized that they’re all on the same team, there wouldn’t be anyone to fight for the rich.
- Comment on We all know crack was introduced primarily to black neighbor hoods. Why them? Why not people in the Appalachians? Or in Asian neighbor hoods all over the west coast? 4 days ago:
I think the answer is less complicated than you might think.
It’s because they were black.
- Comment on Don't poor people split the bills on dates? 5 days ago:
I’m broke as fuck, and I rarely split a bill.
- Comment on 5 days ago:
President and only member of his official fan club
- Comment on Back in the day the world had The Great Dictator speech speaking the truth. Then came Network with the I am mad as hell. In this era what speech are we going to look back from the future? 6 days ago:
So THAT’S where that’s from. I learned it from Duke Nukem.
- Comment on Would it be silly of me to get a small dog if I am a little afraid of bigger ones? 6 days ago:
I see others have mentioned it, but I’m also thinking you should have more dog exposure before committing to one. Stop by a shelter or pet store (don’t buy from a pet store) and just go look at the dogs. If you see one that seems chill, ask to take it out and hold it/play with it for a bit. If it’s too overwhelming, just give it back, go back to looking from a safe distance, and try again when you feel ready.
- Comment on can i still consider myself to be a valid asexual? 6 days ago:
I don’t see any reason you can’t be anything you want to be.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
They probably were fans of themselves at some point. Why crank out decades of albums you can’t stand.
That being said, I think even Metallica quit being Metallica fans at some point before St. Anger
- Comment on Is a video streaming co-op a useful idea? 6 days ago:
I do not know the legal specifics, but I will warn you not to trust in “Common Sense Law”.
Which is my own term defined as: Knowing a little bit about the law (If I own a DVD, I’m legally allowed to watch it) and filling in ALL the other details with assumptions based on your own limited understanding of the laws.
- Comment on Is a video streaming co-op a useful idea? 1 week ago:
Might want to fire up one of those DVDs and read the FBI warning at the beginning. No matter how many DVDs you own, it doesn’t give you license to distribute it.
- Comment on Is a video streaming co-op a useful idea? 1 week ago:
Im intrigued, but I have questions.
How exactly does the buy in work?
- Comment on When you send old camcorder cassettes to a digitising service, do they watch the contents? 1 week ago:
Notice they didn’t say that they wouldn’t do it “back in the 80s”
- Comment on When you send old camcorder cassettes to a digitising service, do they watch the contents? 1 week ago:
They probably skim through it to see if there’s any boobs and ignore the rest.
- Comment on (I can't see the aita community on this instance) am I in the wrong for asking as a young teen if they still hired at a daycare center? 1 week ago:
Nah, you’re good. You absolutely can call and ask if people are hiring, ESPECIALLY if they aren’t, because that saves everyone the time and effort. She must have been having a bad day.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
I’ve heard that US is considering on making “32 hours” with no breaks the default
What do you mean by this? 32 hours per week? Because, our default has been a 40 hour week since I’ve existed, and that’s a long time.
- Comment on What is the point of abbreviations for short words when they do not reduce times significantly when you type? 1 week ago:
Very true, but it bled into society. Gamers realized it was easier to OMW and LFG while their hands were busy, and we even started saying BRB and OMG in conversation. They aren’t abbreviations anymore, they’re synonyms.
- Comment on Has society or scientists ever solved definitively the Chicken and the Egg theory? Or is it just like a whose on first thing? 1 week ago:
My stance is that creatures were laying eggs millions of years before the first chicken was born.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Even if that WAS a thing, there’s no way in hell I’d ever try it.
For me, if there’s needles involved, you’re WELL past the point of pretending you don’t have a problem.
- Comment on What is the point of abbreviations for short words when they do not reduce times significantly when you type? 1 week ago:
Im not Sherlock Holmes, but I deduce that’s a lie. 🤔
