• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  “Bad” is of course subjective, but the games I play most are gacha games. Amazing graphics and music, etc. in a free to play* game.

  *Of course they are designed to inspire spending money, and I do somewhat: The fixed monthly IAPs only, if I would need to spend extra to get a specific character or weapon I wait for a rerun.

  But I like anime girls, and these games are full of them.

  Regular glasses do not help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Played Piano with My Washing Machine⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom had the fridge, dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer. And over the years every one of them had stuff break. Worst was the ice maker in the fridge, those are notorious. But each of the others had at least one minor feature fail and more than one of them also had the major feature fail at least once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Played Piano with My Washing Machine⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom had Samsung appliances, so I knew where this was going the moment he opened its door.

  Side note unrelated to their musical tendencies: never buy Samsung appliances.

  Oh I’ve heard this one. What if it’s already full of infinite people and infinitely more arrive?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s 5. I might have forgotten one or two, but it’s near there.

  I’m still really sad that the Turing Machine one got enough votes, but was rejected by the LEGO judges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t listen to music much, but I feel like this graph would be nearly inverted for me. Didn’t care much for the music I was forced to hear on the school bus, but inherited my mom’s enjoyment of both oldies and classical, and enjoy some modern music (which is just much more diverse than when I grew up, so there’s something for everyone)

  What does ‘scalper’ mean in this context? I only know what it means for event tickets

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Realistically speaking, how do you think the year 2063 will look like?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “So hot right now”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self sacrifice is honorable⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do u?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s magnolias. This is the much older one that doesn’t even have pollinators because flowers didn’t exist yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is my user marked as a bot?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Specifically in the Web interface, not an app.

  Your shinigami is going to die of boredom.

  Just researching adaptations of classic literature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the stupidest form of US defaultism you've encountered in real life whilst they're abroad?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I was super young, like maybe 4-5 or something, when my family took a short trip south from San Diego (USA) into Tijuana, Mexico since the border was right there and it wasn’t a big deal back then.

  I remember seeing price tags and being really surprised… That they were in US dollars.

  I don’t think I had even started school yet, but I still knew that different country = different language and different money. Not sure how people can miss that so easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tuff enuff⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The limit that the 3 body problem presents is that there is no exact solution, and inexact solutions will eventually desynchronize so much as to become worthless for predictions. But the key word is ‘eventually’ - if your initial measurements are good, there could be years (and in the case of the planets of the solar system, millions of years) worth of useful predictions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Most Horrifying Sci-Fi Story Ever Written⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, I remember reading this (and other stories by the same author) on Kuro5hin decades ago. I’m not sure I agree with the superlative, but it was definitely a freaky story.

  Haven’t watched the video version yet, but from the first few minutes it seems like just an audio book of the text.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tough luck⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  YES

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The End of an Era⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess you could count the atmosphere as part of earth, then things over 100km are in little enough of the atmosphere that it’s not really ‘touching’ it the same way. (For example not generating significant lift)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung is shutting down messages — alternative to Google's messenger?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Textra doesn’t mention RCS. And I have no idea what the deal is with the first one, it’s ‘not available in my country’. I’m inclined to think either it’s lying and just means MMS or it’s tied to a specific carrier and talks directly to their servers, like the old Verizon messages app which did RCS that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Samsung is shutting down messages — alternative to Google's messenger?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As far as I can tell that’s still impossible, so they are just lying or it’s a different RCS (like retail custom solutions). Also that search shows SMS apps that don’t mention RCS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My emotions⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Perhaps fanatic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What about convection? There’s been at least some mixing, right? So I’d guess the average age of a nucleus from the core (ignoring fusion) would indeed be less than from the surface, but I would think it’s less difference (on average) than the raw math. If there’s enough mixing it could be very little difference at all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Schrodinger's Precious⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Eventually dead, from multiple potential causes. Especially with no lid.

  What’s Unwound?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well… He kinda has a point in a way. Doesn’t disprove yours though.

  Yes.
