Garage tech startups where the garage belongs to your already upper-income-class parents
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 1 year ago:
There’d be a 180° and people would start claiming that the political leaders were controlling the aliens rather than the other way around
- Comment on The Aliens did a little trolling 1 year ago:
I’d try and convince them that politicians are a race…
- Comment on Fantasy rednecks 1 year ago:
Most have Eurocentric accents because those are the areas the various legends and stories originated.
Various depictions of leprechauns make them pretty much Irish rednecks. I love Mad Sweeney’s depiction in American Gods.

“lifetime” partner :-)
- Comment on Does anyone drink instant coffee anymore? 1 year ago:
I generally only drink instant for late night decaf, though the premixed Korean instant coffee packets are a treat every hour and then
- Comment on Don't forget to tip 1 year ago:
Except that rising interest has also fucked up the market for builders who are now producing even less houses
- Comment on Don't forget to tip 1 year ago:
There are three reasons that “good landlords” seem to be scarce:
-
People tend to be more vocal about bad experiences than good, so we’ll definitely hear more about the bad ones
-
Many people decided to become a landlord because it outpaced other “investments” greatly, especially if you’re a shitty landlord who doesn’t put profit back into maintaining said “investment”
-
Many of the good landlords that did exist and weren’t gouging eventually got hit with a bad tenant that cost them a lot of suffering and $$$ while being extremely difficult to evict. Whether it’s true or not, I still hear current ones who say they’re charging [crazy amount] to pad for the eventual $20k bill when a bad tenant wrecks their place (and these days it’s not hard to do $20k+ in damage)
Also per the comic: I’ve never heard of anyone tipping a landlord, good or bad

- Comment on Dusk Developer David Szymanski: I'd rather pay Valve 30% and put up with their de facto monopoly than help Epic work towards their own (very obviously desired) monopoly 1 year ago:
I’ve picked up a ton of their free games. I’ve yet to actually install their client and actually play one
- Comment on PSA: If you still have a Mojang account for Minecraft: Java Edition, you have less than a week left to migrate to a Microsoft account to avoid profile deletion 1 year ago:
Yeah, I get that Bedrock is for consoles, but as far as far as “performance” that’s mostly a front-end consideration.
I just wish that there was a level of compatibility where one could still self-host and allow the console etc players to join
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 1 year ago:
That’s a great explanation of the terms. Thanks for that.
Given this, can you think of a word that would describe those who are hostile to the concept of a deity? Antitheist, perhaps?
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 1 year ago:
Yeah, I don’t find any religion I’ve ever run across appealing, but I have no beef with those who do good under the umbrella of their religion and don’t try to beat on others with it.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 1 year ago:
And? You could take the same data and say- “religious persons are less likely to speak out againstmessaging that potentially promotes harm” (likely also dependent on the religious affiliation of the messenger)
The preceding message that this makes atheists the more “intolerant” group is a pretty massive reach, consider that the messaging they may be against could in itself be one of intolerance as per my example.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 1 year ago:
Also, what is the relation of “a speaker” to religion? If somebody comes in to speak and starts talking about how we need to gas more jews, stop women from voting, and put the blacks back out in the cotton fields then fuck yeah I’m gonna support cutting them off and sending them packing.

What’s getting destroyed? You wouldn’t be able to login to the server but the data would still be there. Transfer the account (or make a new one) and the data’s still there as well.
I’m more annoyed that Microsoft split off Java Edition and Bedrock into two pieces of incompatible software, but I’m honestly surprised they’ve supported the old auth services for this long.
- Comment on Paid full price and got this in the mail (open box). GameStop and I have different definitions of “new” 1 year ago:
Sounds like what should be called an “open box” product to me
- Comment on No one really understands our struggle 1 year ago:
Tenants deserve to live in house conditions that the landlords themselves would be willing to live in.
