And figured out parallax a long time ago
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Yup. I use credit a lot but also pay off my cards every pay period. I get that it sucks for merchants, but you know what sucks worse: getting cheated like this on a debit/cash transaction, or worse having your debit card skimmed.
A relative of mine had the latter and the bank froze her account for weeks while investigating. If it was a credit card they’d just freeze the transaction and maybe send you a replacement card with different #

This does seem like an important step. Like yeah, absolutely report this to the vendor but a theft also occurred so at least get a file going. Providing a police file # might have been enough to get them to refund as well

Yeahhhhh. It used to be when we called the place McDick’s it was commentary on the food/service quality not the menu items

- Comment on why does alcohol stop my back pain but medicine doesn't? 1 month ago:
I think it very much depends on the type of and source of pain.
For me, Tylenol works for headaches and some cold/flu stuff but I’ve never really found it effective for strained muscles etc
- Comment on Mario Kart 64 got finally decompiled! 2 months ago:
Yeah but Nintendo doesn’t always seem to give a shit just because something is legal. They’ll still play the “but our legal department has more money than YOU” card
- Comment on A last-minute SteamOS update has saved Doom: The Dark Ages on Steam Deck, and it runs surprisingly okay-ish 2 months ago:
All these Doom sequels… a proper Descent would kick ass
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
I wonder how hard it would be for an “unofficial” patch to “somehow” be released that restores the previous functionality
- Comment on Liquid Trees 2 months ago:
I still want the trees outdoors, but this would be cool for indoor spaces. Each mall or parking lot could have a solar panel overhead and slime-tanks to produce useful byproducts.
Maybe it could be mixed with and aquaculture like fish and sea plants to create cool scenery
- Comment on I am sick of seeing the rich and powerful on my screen. Where are all the TV shows about normal people? 2 months ago:
TV Broadcasters: “oh, so you want more shitty ‘reality TV’ then?”
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 2 months ago:
Yeah. My buddy lived with his SO. They had kids together. I believe they did have plans to get married but there were financial/planning considerations. At the time, the house was in his name.
He died unexpectedly and without warning due to a previously unknown medical condition. I don’t believe he had a W&T.
The paperwork she had to deal with - much of which would have been not required had they been married - was horrendous, especially anything bank related. The bank also seemed to be doing their best to fuck her over in regards to the family home. It was a nasty ordeal.
- Comment on For all you inked people 2 months ago:
Yeah, I was thinking the same. It’s basically a visible representation of somebody’s thought process. It may indicate something important to them, something they’re passionate about, or just a point decision without due consideration for consequences.
People get tattoos that are extremely artistic and represent a significant investment in both time and money. Many get tattoos about something they have a passion for. Some to honor deceased loved ones. Some to represent their culture.
Others get a facial tat with prison symbols or to make themselves look like a lizard/devil, which I can only describe as a “look-at-me” tattoo. That may not be the type of personality you want working for you or even to hang out with…

Yeah some of them back then would probably have been able to braid more than just the hair on their head…

My wife loves Asian period dramas and this is a hugely common thing that drives me nuts. It doesn’t matter if you’ve got period clothing and scenery etc. If the “lowly common girl” has a perfect complexion, teeth, and obvious cosmetics it just breaks it.
- Comment on What are some of the worst actor miscasts in TV? 3 months ago:
Contrast that to i.e. J Jonah Jameson in the Tobie McGuire Spider Man movies. I was absolutely floored to see how they managed to get somebody who fit they look, attitude and mannerisms of what was pretty much a relatively low-screen-time side-character.
Actually in general I’d say the casting choices for the first two movies contributed very strongly to their success. So many of them just fit.

Ok fair point. My real issue is with fake trailers, AI generated or not.

If your erection lasts for more than 1h, see a medical professional or stop watching the Tesla stock prices

Haven’t seen it. Good?
I should add it to my list
- Comment on Mickey 17 is a big middle finger to space-obsessed strongmen [Review] 4 months ago:
Yeah. The MC is a jackass but he does learn a bit over the series and there’s some depth to the thoughts on how little would react to being able to come back from dying repeatedly (and the first “training scenario”) under most scenarios.

The idea of 3D printed resurrection machines isn’t new. It’s pretty much the whole basis of the Undying Mercenaries series by B.V. Larson
- Comment on You guys have to end it 4 months ago:
Yeah I’ve got regular back and ankle issues. It’s annoying when they flare up but really not that bad. Unfortunately manuals are harder and harder to find so this will likely be my last

And totally deserved. He’s not just an ass, he’s a criminal menace.
Dude got away with fucking around in Japan but tried the same shit in Korea and is now finding out
