  Is… Is that second F a C?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I live in the EU area; why is the 'Evanston, IL' community ~half of my feed at LOCAL/Active?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the clarification. So it’s probably the first point.

  I know about blocking communities, and probably will do - I just feel that blocking a community is a bit overkill, especially if otherwise I don’t mind seeing posts from them, just not that many. I also use the Subsribed feature when I get bored of random/spammy content, but my curse is that I’m interested in niche, slow communities, so I can choose between these two.

  It’s alright, the rest of my problem is not relevant here anyway, and you answered my question, so thanks a lot!

  Thanks, I wasn’t aware of the circumstances. It puts stuff in a different perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨meow >:)⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Making them resistant to HIV. How does he test it whether they actually are…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Infinite Monkey Theorem⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, but since an infinite number of monkeys are working on it already, it will be just one copy for each of the infinite number of monkeys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going to quit my job and just do sculping full time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thumbsticle?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨improved version⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they keep the mindset and they don’t put themselves/their own friends or family above anyone else, they have a better chance at not fucking up the plant like humans did. Our own selfishness got us to the point where our own gains overweigh other people’s misery - see billionaires, famine, wars and the climate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Irresistible⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They are like an ogre, they have layers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My ravioli bowl won't unstick. Took about an hour of prying, and still I couldn't unstick the plate.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m the kind of person who reads step 1, does it, and then goes on to read step 2. I’m happy I’m not OP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Disappointed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the link, that’s an interesting material. However, I had to re-read that sentence three times trying to make sense of clothing items in genetics.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Oh NOOOO⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t fucking wait for the grocery store to play Sandstorm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Revolt's language options⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That explains. I didn’t remember seeing this UI graphics. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Re-Volt

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do tell!!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So how many stuffs have you done this far?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon works from home⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They scripted their attendance with python.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would say it would’nt be able to happen due to greed exclusively. You need an entire nation (race! the entire human race) to be selfish, dumb and hateful enough to allow these buffoons to rise to power, in the first place.

  The orange faeces sprinkler could have done literally everything, have the voters been empathetic and intelligent enough - he wouldn’t have gotten much further than being the head of a hotel company, or something. At best.

  But yet, here we are, because the entire human race, the human DNA itself is designed to be a selfish dick, and prioritise themselves or their closest circle (friends/family) over anyone and anything else. This will be our end, and hopefully it happens before any other forms of life cease to exist on this planet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Seems like solid advice⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disgusting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bro...⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s probably all that booze.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Psst, the Americans are asleep, post some eggs⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Similarly to pineapples being a display object for wealth, I can see the time when we, rich Europeans would throw parties for US citizens having a single egg on a pedestal on the dinner table.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon has a business idea⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How can you tell if something is (not) real if you have never seen such a thing?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Please fill out this survey about how we didn't hire you."⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Had it not been for the second part of the message, I think they wouldn’t have bothered.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨He should have kept smoking⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The exhaust pipe is quite coarse.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not enough people buying Premium, eh?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if it’s (about) the same in every country but I stopped watching it a long time ago (over a decade). If it got even worse then there’s no way I’m ever going back, but it was too much for me below that 30%.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not enough people buying Premium, eh?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was fine with it back when it was just one ad that you could skip. I was fine with it back when it was just two ads that you could skip. I was fine with it back when it was just two ads, and you could skip one, and the other was 5 seconds long. 10 was a stretch, but I’m patient. Without an adblocker, now it’s playing an unskippable, 10+ seconds long ad at the start AND at the end. Some ads are as long as 20 seconds. If the video is long enough, it dares to abruptly play an ad right in the middle. You can’t skip that one, either. We’re back to television content-to-ad ratios - the exact thing I was happy to dump once there was enough content on YouTube. I was patient. That wasn’t enough for them. They can suck a beehive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no problem with Steam. I was mainly talking about games that only (don’t) come out on Epic Store, but maybe I wasn’t clear enough.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate when a PC game is ONLY available on Epic Games store⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always available on the high seas.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make sure your priorities are straight⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There was a doctor working in a relevant field commenting about this. I can’t promise I’ll find it, but the bottom line is that there’s no such thing, due to how plain impossible it is to clean properly around the bottleneck. It’s not smooth.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i fixed Chile issue⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quite mind boggling that it took them THIS long to find him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What are some video game quotes that is stuck in your head?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Flashbacks to the genophage mission. Still brings tears to my eyes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the era of remakes and remasters, what niche game would you like to see receive the treatment?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I had the same thought initially, and unfortunately it wasn’t just GTA. However, IMHO Diablo II Resurrected was an amazing exception, and I’m sure there are others. Plus, the OP’s question was probably about an ideal case and they wanted to know what people have been missing from the past.

  Realistically, I wouldn’t expect a decent comeback of Guitar Hero 3 for example, but it sucks that it doesn’t really work on Win10/11 anymore, and while Clone Hero exists, it doesn’t have the same “story” mode as GH3 had, with characters, milestones and such. Hell, you can’t even get “booed out”.

  Too bad that as you mentioned, even if there was demand, a random big company would just buy the rights, do some lazy upscale and sell it like it was gourmet shit.
