- Comment on EA VP Urges Companies To Think About In-Game Ads During Development: ‘That’s A Huge Opportunity’ 1 week ago:
I’m all for it. Everywhere there’s space for an ad to be blended into the background of the game to subliminally market to me should be utilized to its fullest.
The games will be free, right? The ads are what pays for it, right?

I’ll admit I don’t know much about the polluting effects of nuclear, but wouldn’t it be considered a net benefit in regards to the devastatingly expensive damage of climate change compared to burning coal and gas?

Oh no, do you feel unwell? Do you need to take paid personal leave from work to visit a free doctor?
- Comment on Non-stick pans? 2 weeks ago:
The hardest part is getting everyone on the same page about using it and caring for it correctly. Stainless steel is my choice because the maintenance is not something that can be messed up. If someone burns something on it, you do whatever you want to it. Soak it, scrape it, use whatever chemicals you want.
If you feel like your stainless steel isn’t as good as it used to be, give it a good baking soda scour, rinse, then wash it in vinegar (I’ll usually heat it up on the stove a bit to force it along). The baking soda will scratch off any carbonized food and the vinegar will dissolve any minerals. Both polish and restore the shine on stainless steel
- Comment on You needed to exhibit at least one to be admitted to the "lunatic asylum" 2 weeks ago:
I see “Uterine Derrangement” “Woman Troubles” and “Female Disease”, so yeah, I assume there’s a level of sexual abuse they deemed acceptable.

Legally distinct from “woman troubles”
Women. Am I right?
- Comment on Where did the conspiracy theory that America was behind 9/11? Was there any evidence to back up these claims (real evidence)? 2 weeks ago:
“People think it had to be an inside job because they think no one else could hurt America.” Am I reading that right? That is the most bonkers anti-conspiracy take I’ve ever heard.
People believe conspiracies are real because they don’t trust the government. I don’t know if you’re aware, but they’re absolutely fucking right. The government isn’t even trying to hide their conspiracies now.

No, it’s one sinking ship. Two captains alternate command. One side cordons off the holes with a velvet rope, the other is drilling holes to collect on the insurance money.
They both have insurance policies out on the boat.

So in one night, lets call it 8 hours from 6:00 - 2:00, you’re out there approaching women, starting a conversation, leading that conversation naturally to kissing men, negotiating for $100, kissing your homie, then traveling to the next bar… every 24 minutes.

Yeah, the message is “pay this guy or he’ll kill you”. How is that not clear?
They have another name for criminals that lend you money and just ask you pay it back over time with some interest tacked on. They’re called banks.

But what part is inaccurate? Its easy if you know how to do it and daunting if you don’t.

More like installing a subcutaneous implant
“It’s easy, man. You just need to inject this needle under your skin. What do you mean you’re uncomfortable doing that? Anybody can do it. And if you don’t like it, you can just use the same needle to pull the pill back out and you’ll be back where you started, no harm done. Now, there’s about 48 different pills you can choose from that vary in performance and legitimacy. I use Grafff (yes, with 3 Fs, two Fs is the legacy version), but you could start with NBOSC or RBOSC or LBOSC. But you could also try Flan or Yellow Welly. You could try Trim, but it takes some getting used to not having eyes. Honestly, its not that bad though. Anyway, once you have QBOSC (I mentioned QBOSC, right? It meant replace RBOSC but they split and are just two different things now) you’ll need to find this thing called DaemonFlare to make your legs work so you can play games and stuff. The whole thing should take like 20 minutes… or 9 days to work out the issues”
- Comment on Is it rude to go through the car wash with a bunch of snow on your car? 5 months ago:
The people in this thread are either misunderstanding you (thinking you have a big 8" slab of snow on your roof) or are unfamiliar with regularly snowy places, or are completely unhinged. That, or I misunderstand and you are talking about driving with inches of snow on your roof, in which case, yeah brush off what you can before driving.
But I get it, especially when it gets a bit warmer and the snow kinda melts a bit and gets icy and sticks.
The hot water will melt the snow and ice, don’t worry. The car wash deals with ice chunks from wheel wells all the time. Its just more water and road grime.

What’s worse is when you expect it, so you wait a second, and it still hasn’t loaded, so you click and the instant you click it shifts to an ad.

Moreover, if I was productive up to 4:57 and left, I’d be productive up to 4:57.
If I have to stay until 5:00, not one minute early, I’m watching the clock for at least 20 minutes doing fuck all because I’ve been instructed that I have to run out the clock every day forever.
When you prioritize employees for their time, they give you their time. When you prioritize them for their work, they’ll give you work.
