- Comment on The forever war for your FACE 1 month ago:
I cut myself more often with a cartridge razor than a safety razor.

The suggestions of listen to what your partner likes is good…

At E3 in 2013, Microsoft announced that all games, including physical copies, would be electronically bound to your Microsoft account, making “physical” copies just keys for their digital network.
Sony famously made fun of them, and forced Microsoft to change course for the Xbox One/PS4 era

Microsoft tried to make their consoles digital only years ago. They only added the disc drive back because Sony’s marketing of the PS4.
Now that Sony’s out, MS will gleefully follow

I was explaining why it’s so far behind

It doesn’t pull directly from Arch

They were introduced as a way to crowdsource OCR

I will point out that when selling cadavars was legal, murders went up from people looking to cash in.
It would be difficult to ensure the dead actually died through accident or natural causes rather than having been killed for their meat.

I’ve had similar with Vietnamese, Chinese, and Indian friends in college

- Comment on What actually is the 10-point proposal from Iran which Trump said is "workable basis on which to negotiate"? 4 months ago:
Trump needs the war to end before elections later this year… I think it’s extremely likely the US agrees to giving Iran more power than it had before the beginning, Trump just needs one small concession so he can call it a “win” even if he’s lost

- Comment on Consumerism ahhhhh moment 6 months ago:
I currently do, maybe not twice, but about 20% more to avoid them
I also refuse to buy several cheaper car companies because of ads I saw years ago, and bought a more expensive car for my wife to avoid them
I’m sure lots of ads work on me, but if your ad is annoying enough, I will pay significantly more to your competitor
