- Comment on I'm OOTL: Why is TikTok being banned? 2 days ago:
I mean, that’s exactly what Facebook and YouTube and Twitter do as well just over different things like radicalizing people towards Maga and whatnot.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 finally officially revealed 3 days ago:
I’ll be waiting for the swivtch
- Comment on Google is now forcing gemini in their gmail app 4 days ago:
It’s on my desktop Gmail and I’ve been having a shitty time trying to disable it and remove it.
Literally asked Gemini how to remove Gemini and it said it did not know, then I called it stupid, and then it apologised and said I can remove Gemini in the Gmail settings, but I couldn’t find the option after yelling at it in all caps and it’s still there just taunting me
- Comment on The Last Of Us Part II will require a PSN account to play on PC, making it unplayable in over 100 countries 1 week ago:
Because Sony is a company and all companies are dicks. Why does anyone ever expect otherwise?
- Comment on No one: Laptop. Could this be hardware or software related? 2 weeks ago:
My Dell laptop died after 2 years, $1600. Never again.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 2 weeks ago:
Time zone doesn’t affect “midday”
Midday is when the sun is at its highest point. The hottest part of the day is pretty much always a few hours after midday.
Of course there are exceptions, there’s almost always exceptions for literally everything and it’s kind of useless pointing it out.
- Comment on Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a little pedantic. The exact time isn’t really important, just that it is not exactly at midday, it’s a few hours after midday.
- Comment on Stream Fatigue? Americans Spent 23% Less on Streaming Services in 2024, Study Finds 2 weeks ago:
I started piracy, but I also watched less pirated content because 2024 seemed pretty fucking dull with content. Too much reality TV bullshit made it’s way to the streaming platforms.
- Comment on Best City Builder 2024: Manor Lords [as per PCGamer] 3 weeks ago:
My main go to is city builders and I could get past like 20 hours in manor lords before giving up. I just couldn’t get into it.
- Comment on China's internet is upset that a knock-off of its darling video game, 'Black Myth: Wukong,' is listed on Nintendo's store 3 weeks ago:
I mean, when you have a few thousand two-bit internet media sites surviving off advertisement spam and hiring any freelance writer that can put together three paragraphs for $5 that’s what our media becomes.
- Comment on What games have you sunk the most time into? 4 weeks ago:
My top 9 games sorted by playtime, with almost 1000hrs for Valheim and about 300 for dwarf fortress.
- Comment on I have to fly back home. My brother was forcebullay taken to the hospital for thirty days do to a mental attack. My quest is I have not carry on's or anything beside the ticket. Will the TSA target me 4 weeks ago:
I travel domestically a fair bit for work and I always try to look suspicious to get randomly chosen for an extra check because I get to skip the majority of the line up.
So far I’m at like 1 random check out of every 3 times I travel. Saves like 30 minutes of standing in a hot line up with no air circulation.
- Comment on Valve is fixin' to start some arguments over the holidays because 'All adult members in a Steam Family' can see your Steam Replay page 4 weeks ago:
This is why I don’t share my steam tag with anyone.
I hate people being able to analyze my habits.
- Comment on Selfish or not 4 weeks ago:
Or, y’know, ask politely
- Comment on Good morning to this nice pig and only this nice pig. 4 weeks ago:
God damn, that dude is strong. Pigs are dense that thing must weigh like 200lbs and squirming around.
- Comment on Jumping in would either give you superpowers or cancer 5 weeks ago:
Do they require car wash stations to have a water treatment plant on site?
- Comment on As the Canada "tax holiday" starts, Walmart increased the price of an item by the amount I would have saved 5 weeks ago:
It should be illegal for any store to increase prices by more than 0.5% per month for any product in my opinion.
Even if massive inflation hits they can still increase prices by 6% after a year, but they at least won’t be able to immediately increase prices by 10-20% after taxes are lessened or a month before a sale is supposed to start.
- Comment on So that's when I deleted my account 5 weeks ago:
Tried, they ask for other things I can’t provide
- Comment on So that's when I deleted my account 5 weeks ago:
I still think it should be allowed.
I have an email that I guess used to be someone else’s and I keep getting emails from their Facebook and Apple iCloud accounts that I can’t even unsubscribe from because I need to log in to unsubscribe. It’s incredibly annoying, and even a privacy issue which I messaged Facebook about and have been ignored.
- Comment on $1K a month is a good deal 5 weeks ago:
Somehow people think their taxes will go up over $1000k a month if it changes to universal.
I live in Canada and I pay less taxes total than what most Americans pay for healthcare alone, yet somehow they think we pay more than them lol.
- Comment on Reactor goes brrr 1 month ago:
I see all these pictures where the steam seemingly just escapes into the atmosphere.
Are there any designs where the cooling steam condenses and then pools and falls back down as liquid to turn even more turbines via gravity like hydroelectrics dams and then returns to the source pool to be reheated by the nuclear materials?
- Comment on What gives you hope to keep going? 1 month ago:
Why not?
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 1 month ago:
It looks like ops fence is the 3-4’ tall fence you can see at the bottom of the pic?
Neighbours probably installed his fence so it looks good to him, since it’s not seen by anyone else but the OP
If it were facing a street you pm would probably install it the other way
- Comment on Anon questions our energy sector 2 months ago:
Why not build it in a remote location then?
Dams can also produce a lot of hydroelectric power, and a catastrophic failure could also destroy an entire town or more. We just don’t build dams upstream of a large town.
- Comment on Donald Trump Team Plans to Cancel Biden's $7,500 Tax Incentive On EVs 2 months ago:
One thing I never see addressed with the dream of ending cars and just having bikes is how do first responders operate? How do you transport unconscious people to the hospital? Put out an apartment fire? Get to an armed robbery in time to stop it?
Bikes are great but they also aren’t an end all be all solution to society.
- Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 2 months ago:
My zoo buries them on the premises. I know of a camel, a moose and a few other things got buried there. They have a large plot of land that is used to dispose of organic waste like branches and trees, old compost, etc until it’s full and needs to be tricked out to the landfill. They just bury the animals under the ground there.
- Comment on What do zoos do with dead animals? 2 months ago:
The zoo near me a few decades ago had an accident where a lot of their reindeer got pregnant before the male could get neutered. They kept all the female offspring but they couldn’t risk having two males in the same enclosure and no nearby zoos needed male reindeer or also couldn’t accommodate them so they had to put them down and ended up feeding them to the carnivores in the zoo.
- Comment on why are fax machines still used by medical systems? 2 months ago:
We need to try and bankrupt any company that produces fax machines.
The industry will need to adapt once fax machines aren’t produced anymore.
- Comment on Post-election blues 2 months ago:
Go extreme minimalist. Buy practically nothing you cannot live without. Boycott everything. Politicians only listen to their gdp and stock numbers.
- Comment on Here are the patents Nintendo and The Pokémon Company are suing Palworld over 2 months ago:
Even if it were an exact clone I don’t think a single company should have a monopoly on the idea for almost 30 years. Pokemon red was released in 1996, 28 years ago. Why should they still be able to be the only company that releases pokemon-type games?
