- Comment on Do millennials keep looking significantly more youthful than previous generations? 17 hours ago:
Sorry, “at the same age” was implied but not specifically mentioned.
- Comment on Telegram automatically modifies your text message to "debunk" whatever you are trying to send 1 day ago:
I’ve been using Telegram for like 10 years now, and never once has it spell checked, autocorrected, fact checked, or added ANYTHING that I didn’t type myself. I’m calling bullshit.
- Comment on Is it "Their name is Trevor," or "Their names are Trevor" if you know 2 Trevors? 1 day ago:
Add one vote for “are”.
- Comment on Do millennials keep looking significantly more youthful than previous generations? 1 day ago:
Every generation looks younger than the generations before it.
- Comment on Do millennials keep looking significantly more youthful than previous generations? 1 day ago:
Of course we do. There was that bizarre song in 97 that made sure we never forget to wear sunscreen!
- Comment on Why does the microwave button have a "popcorn" button when every microwave popcorn brand says "DO NOT USE THE POPCORN BUTTON"? 3 days ago:
It’s not the microwaves fault. There is a small percentage of kernels that will never pop. That’s just how they are, and nobody knows which ones it will be until they bite into it during a movie.
- Comment on MMO players (past and present): what is your attitude towards "forced" group content? 3 days ago:
I avoid it completely.
Although I have had some great experiences with groups of randos, I like to play at my own pace. I like to explore and play the market house, and when I’m in a group, I feel like I have to keep with the pace. I always just skipped the instances in WoW, because I couldn’t find a group and when I joined one, I didn’t know what I was doing because I’d never seen it before.
- Comment on Oblivion remake is... really making it apparent how outdated Bethesda is in its approach to making games 3 days ago:
There are really only two types of games I complain about.
Games that were marketed in a way that would make think of enjoy it, and then after I buy it, I feel misled and disappointed.
And games I REALLY enjoy, but have found some annoyances that could be changed to make the game even BETTER!
Honorable mention: I wouldn’t start a conversation about a game I never played, but if you ask my thoughts on it, and it looks terrible, I’ll let you know what my reservations are.
- Comment on This is the new Apple Ad. It was designed by psychiatrists to encourage american to buy the Apple Homeview 4 days ago:
Hit every possible morning routine cliché so every single person can relate to it.
- Comment on I need to change careers but I’m scared. If you ever did this, how did you power through and didn’t feel like a loser for wasting time? 5 days ago:
My dad worked for a machine shop for 30 years and got laid off because as he said “all the work went to China” This was happening all over the state, so they started a program for these guys to learn a new skill. So, my dad took the free money, in his 50s, and went to college. He got a social work degree, and a government job as a Case worker for mentally handicapped adults. He loved it and was so happy he got booted out of the tool shop.
- Comment on What is behind the current Lemmy meme about 4 being a private key? 6 days ago:
But, since nobody would expect an organization like that to have a one digit key, wouldn’t that make it extremely hard to guess?
Half kidding here.
- Comment on NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. How does one deal with grief or loss in a safe way without turning to alcohol or drugs? 6 days ago:
I’ve done too much of both, and pot seems to be better for everyday coping with life. Or, at least ignoring it.

Fuck if I know.
- Comment on What is Kratom? A friend of the family just died today. And that was the last thing he was using. Is it like K2? What type of high is it? 1 week ago:
From what I understand, it’s a stimulant and people with ADHD are self medicating with it and developing a dependency on it. I don’t know exactly how it harms the body though.
- Comment on What is Kratom? A friend of the family just died today. And that was the last thing he was using. Is it like K2? What type of high is it? 1 week ago:
I saw this a while ago, and did not expect to sit through the whole thing. Scary shit.
- Comment on What happens in Jumanji (the original) if a player gets killed cause the board game? Does it just stay locked? The Robin Williams version of Jumangi. 1 week ago:
I think you’ve got it. But I wonder if it would need to find another player to replace that one. The game is clearly trying to kill you, but would it consider the player eliminated and skip their turn when they die?
- Comment on Which had a bigger impact on kid's or adults, the death of George Reeves or the accident Christopher Reeve had and the aftermath? 1 week ago:
What’s the opposite of Christopher Reeves?
Christopher Walken
- Comment on Can we estimate the size of the Internet ? If so, what size would it be (in GB, TB or whatever) ? 1 week ago:
Follow up question: what percentage of that do you think is porn?
- Comment on Someone should really do something about that 1 week ago:
I should be safe, I’m close to a border, and it seems to prefer the middle of the state.
- Comment on Can you tell the native language of the people from these clips? 1 week ago:
what language it is?
I didn’t catch this before I posted my answer. Are you telling me that English is not their native language?
Now I’m surprised and curious.
- Comment on Can you tell the native language of the people from these clips? 1 week ago:
The first two are British. I know regional dialects vary, but I can’t identify one from the other.
The third one sounds like an American, but has a very “professional” dialect. Some people will talk like this for recordings, but since you said she’s from the same country as the other ones, I’m guessing she learned her American accent from media, and not from regular conversations.
- Comment on What is the big deal that the new WH Press Secretary does have a law license? Isn't this a good thing and shows any Joe Blo can get the job? No offense to Joe Blo's. 1 week ago:
Everyone knows Joe’s nose blows!

None taken.
- Comment on I have to give a presentation in 15 minutes 1 week ago:
Nice.
- Comment on Are you able to tell which language is which by looking? 2 weeks ago:
I’m leaning towards the first one being Japanese and the second is Chinese.
Just based on hunch, I have no experience with either.
- Comment on NOT SEEKING MEDICAL ADVICE. Doctors can prescribe a whole host of "downers" like xanax, methadone, the whole benzo family. Is there any uppers they can prescribe? 2 weeks ago:
Yup. A lot of ADHD meds are stimulants.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
How hard is it to take a selfie looking surprised?
- Comment on Did 9/11 cause a statistically visible "anti-babyboom"? 2 weeks ago:
You should be looking at June birthdays. Those are people conceived in Sept.
September birthdays are the result of December holiday parties. Trust me, I have 3 kids with Sept birthdays.
- Comment on Did 9/11 cause a statistically visible "anti-babyboom"? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve done no research, but I highly doubt it.
We shouldn’t expect any change in people’s activity before the 11th, because it was a surprise. I imagine there were quite a few people who weren’t “in the mood” on the 11th, but how long would that last? Possibly a while in NYC, but I’m betting most of the people Midwest got their libido back in a day or two.
Considering that pregnancy isn’t an exact science, and that a child conceived a week before or after 9-11 could have born exactly 9 months after 9-11, I don’t think we’d see a major drop in births around that time. Maybe a little, but probably nothing significant.

Congratulations, you’re old. Everything is HD now, there’s no reason to make those anymore.
