Could animals that are related but separated by vast distances be used as an example as well? Like the black swan, or even trees and crops?
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 2 weeks ago:
The thing with American politics is that Americans love, LOVE TV shows and movies. Everything they do publicly has to be framed, presented, and consumed, as if it were a TV show or movie. So that’s what the political machine does. Kamala Harris raised like a $1000000000. A BILLION dollars! What does the political machine do with that much money? It puts on a damn good show and broadcasts it to the world hoping it’s a better show than what Trump is making. So yes you are watching the same show we are. It’s entertaining, horrifying, hilarious, disgusting, sad and hopeful. But if you want to see what the real work is like in politics then you will have to read the book. A LOT of books, and many Americans don’t like to read.

- Comment on Where do you even meet people anymore? 1 month ago:
Go to where you first learned how to make friends. Go back to school, take a night class. Found a wife there once.
- Comment on Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before 2 months ago:
The first game I ever completed and the first time I left a review for a game. The music, the atmosphere, the design, everything blew away. It was freeware from back in 2006. Made by a guy called Nifflas. It’s a sidescrolling platformer where you are an intelligent bouncing ball. I still think about it to this day.
- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 2 months ago:
Community college. Took a few classes I never would have normally chosen like art or acting. I was a stay at home introvert who was way past college days, so I couldn’t figure out how to put myself into social situations. But I do like to learn, so signed myself up for some night classes. Ended up dating a few people, made new friends, and married one of them. Night classes bring in the adults who have to work during the day, a few kids too, but I met just about every age group from young to very old. Study groups, group projects, anything that will involve working with or helping classmates, or anything that you think is interesting really. Have life long friends now because of that decision.
Go back to where you first learned how to make friends, go back to school.
- Comment on What is this plug on my wall for? 2 months ago:
I showed chatgpt the picture and it was close to what others on here said.
“The image shows a fused spur or a fused connection unit (FCU). This type of electrical outlet is used to protect appliances that are permanently connected to the electrical supply without a standard plug, such as heaters, ovens, or lighting circuits.”
Then I asked what country this is most likely to have this in a home
“The fused spur or fused connection unit (FCU) in the image is most commonly found in homes in the United Kingdom and Ireland. This type of electrical fitting is a standard feature in these countries, where it is used for appliances that need to be hardwired into the electrical system, such as water heaters, ovens, or extractors. It may also be found in other countries that follow British electrical standards, but the UK and Ireland are the most likely.”
I thought that was interesting and wanted to share.
- Comment on Welcome to 'The Great Detachment': Workers are checked out—and so are their bosses 2 months ago:
I just learned about enshitefication, worsening of quality to maximize profits. That sounds like what the workplace has become. Capitalism is enshittefying work, or life in general.

- Comment on Why is there no sense of "camaderie" in the workplace? 2 months ago:
Poor leadership. A good leader can set the tone for better or worse. Unfortunately leadership is very rarely taught, so bosses tend fall back on their upbringing. A leader is at the front working harder than everyone else and suffering with their team, a boss is at the back telling everyone to work harder while suffering nothing. A boss who is also a leader is far to rare.

I used the term loosely to include the average “YouTuber”, a term I hadn’t thought of. I tend not to watch any of them.

I had never heard of her. I do not watch influencer videos. I do not like influencer videos and suspect I would not like them personally. The 4 hour long runtime clearly indicated I would not be watching it.
I am now a subscriber and big fan of her work!
The cascade of bad decisions by Disney was so enjoyable to hear about and her experience with ‘Disney magic’ was so very relateble. I too have been placed behind inexplicably large columns, felt the arbitrariness of the ‘experiencing the magic’, and spent far too much money for the privilege of standing in sweaty lines in the Florida heat.
I feel bad for the people involved that really wanted to make something great but were crushed under the weight of corporate ineptitude. I personally knew someone who went, refused to say how much they paid, and refused to talk about their experience. Now I know why. Excellent video. She’s like the NeverKnowsBest of theme parks.

- Comment on What animal could you take in a fight? 7 months ago:
When my father was younger he devised a plan to drop down out of a tree onto the back of a deer and take it down with a knife. He said it beat the shit out of him with its antlers. So I think I could take down a doe, a deer, a female dear.

Baldurs Gate 3 with two other buddies. So many memories. Looking forward to another play through so I can see all of the things the we didn’t get to. And then go again but evil.
Play a few turns off Age of Wonders 4 while working.
And when I’m in the mood and have the patience, Pathfinder wrath of the righteous and Warhammer 40,000: Rogue Trader
I have trouble focusing.

Any consequences! Exactly that. I’m sick of this rich man culture of fuck you I got mine. There needs to be a systematic change where the rich feel that they are extremely lucky to be allowed to horde so much and keep there heads. They’ve grown lazy and arrogant. Consequences for your selfish actions!
