- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 1 week ago:
Obviously you get to choose your labels, but theres absolutely nothing wrong with being a tomboy and it certainly doesnt invalidate your identity, unless you feel it does. Some of the women i know and like the most are tomboys. I certainly dont view them as any less of a woman, although quite frankly i dont spend time thinking about peoples genders either.
Just do you! Being proud of who you are is great, but if you dont like who you are there are always options to change. If you had to describe how you want to be viewed, how would you go about it?
- Comment on Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually) 1 week ago:
Its for DRM. The easiest way to check if you actually own the game is to have the game contantly ask whether its connected to the server. The server should have your payment info. If thats not found, your game isnt legit.
Thats why GOG is so good, their games dont have DRM. Meaning you (and pirates) have a BETTER version of the game. Let me repeat that, downloading an illegal copy gives you a better running version of the same game you mightve paid for, because it doesnt have to contantly talk to a server before the game will allow you to do anything.
When you pirate a steam game, youre also downloading a “fake” version of steam, a steam emulator. The way they break DRM for steam games doesnt remove the DRM, but it slightly reduces the issues DRM causes because the server it is communicating with is local and doesnt have to index user files. Your game just asks the steam emulator if its legit, the steam emulator doesnt check anything, it just says that whatever got checked was legit.

I feel like this is most of shakespears work. Having read a lot of it, i was deeply unimpressed. I found it grueling to work through any of his pieces. And yet theyre universally beloved. Pretty sure its just because everyones teacher told them the book was good.
Its weird though, to kill a mockingbird was actually good, and yet it doesnt recieve nearly as much fanfare as something like hamlet or romeo & juliet. Feels like people just like shakespear because everyone else likes shakespear.
- Comment on Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry? 1 week ago:
I dont know the laws in your country, but here doctors cant share any info on their patient without consent. I dont know if that would extend to a disagnosis like that, but the idea is that you ask your doctor if they think you are, and then you proceed according to their advice WITHOUT GETTING THE DIAGNOSIS. It would be massively beneficial for you to know yourself, as unchecked both of those can wreck your quality of life if youre not actively looking into coping mechanisms.
Do you feel unexplainably different from your peers? Like everyone else understands some fact of life that you are completely unaware of? Have you had any issues dating? None of that is a guaranteed diagnosis, but if those questions particularly resonate with you or you feel called out then its worth looking into.
- Comment on Is it normal that you feel very shaky as soon as you start to get hungry? 1 week ago:
Have you ever been checked for autism or adhd? Common symptoms for me include that im not in tune with my bodys “hunger” meter. I often forget to eat or dont eat enough, and as such the first real sign of hunger i get is when i start getting dizzy and it becomes hard to move. Could also be from not having enough food growing up, so my body stopped producing the “hungry” signal.
- Comment on Why do I push people away if I'm so lonely? 1 week ago:
Its a trauma response, very common with depression. The only thing ive found that helps is not viewing interaction with other people as a commitment. I know im not always able to talk to others, but i dont want to push them away, so it often seems easier to just not engage in the first place. But with the right people, i know that theres no demand that i engage. Some people are just happy to be there, to know that theres someone they can talk to if they want. Basically, find a low commitment friend and if you dont want to talk, you dont have to.
- Comment on Is it possible to reverse pit a copcar before they pit you? Like if you know a cop is going to pit you on their right side, can you use your left back end to hit them first? 1 week ago:
I really hope that is true. Every time a police chase is posted, people get enflamed that the cops wont stop the suspect and it enrages me. Its like people dont understand what happens when someone loses control of a 1 ton slab of metal moving at 100 mph. I always say the cops need to get a heli and just drop the chase, because a fleeing suspect is so much more of a danger.

- Comment on [troll science]: Unruh particle shower on a centrifuge 3 weeks ago:
Didnt read that yet, this is all from memory.
From my recollection, the unruh effect is a side effect of referance frames and event horizons. For any given object, you can calculate that objects future path through space time. There will be objects that are too far away for that object to interact with until a certain amount of time has passed. That means those objects are beyond the causality of your original object. This creates an expansign event horizon where anything before it can theoretically be interacted with, and anything past it cannot until the future. The issue is that on the border, on the event horizon, you have virtual particles popping in and out of existance. These particles normally annhilate each other and therefore measurably dont matter. But you have the ability to interact with one without interacting with the other, because its beyond your sphere of influence. But if you can interact with it, it can interact with you. This means you measure a noticable increase in energy at the event horizon because youre only measuring half of the virtual particle, the half that you can interact with and the half that can interact with you.

- Comment on Make me feel like a man 1 month ago:
Isnt that only neccassary for anal? I dont possess the bits to test that theory, but its my understanding that it is something about the sphincter that tends to be the problem. Again, second hand source here, but it is my understanding that lady bits are kinda designed to be good at evacuating things. I would think your evacuator would also be ideal, but what do i know? Im not a buttologist. But id like to be ;) ### pm me

- Comment on magic recovery 2 months ago:
Well, kinda. Nothing can, under certain conditions, become more of a gradient of nothing. Some spots are more nothing than others. And, if i understand correctly, you can tune your measurement scale in order to measure an area of nothing and find nothing.
I wanted to be sure so i asked Nothing, and they were very certain: Butt, Death, and Taxes.

Pretty sure only on pc. Ive never looked for notifs on pc, but i comment maybe a handful of times on youtube videos each year. Ive taken a look at my watch history more recently because i was curious to see why i had never seen a response. Turns out i was recieving responses, but even on the youtube page in my internet browser it wasnt giving me any notification. I refuse to download the youtube app because it wont allow sponsorblock or ublock origin, which are both mandatory for watching even 12 seconds long clips on youtube. Or so ive heard, as ive stated i dont get ads so i dont have first hand experiance with those issues.

Ive been well aware every time ive been cheated on. Its almost like if you cant trust your partner, you shouldnt date them. If thats something that bothers you then dont engage with cheaters. And if you cant tell whether theyre a cheater, then you dont know them well enough to be dating.
