  The steam client should obey close commands like ctrl w, ctrl q, or similar. intentionally making the app hard to close is dark pattern bullshit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most American graphic ever⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  American’s may seem litigious, but many of our legal protections require it. For example, the American Disabilities Act has no enforcement mechanism beyond suing non-compliant businesses. In some states, if you have a homeowners claim, you don’t sue the insurance company, but the individual. This leads to juicy headlines like “Woman sues 6yo nephew over a trip and fall”.

  Rotting potatoes stink worse than rotting meat. I once read about a family in E. Europe who were killed by potato fumes in their cellar. The mother was the first to be overcome by the fumes, and in turn the rest of the family succumbed while checking on what happened to the others.

  Conspiracy theories: because reading history is hard.

  Conspiracy theories: never more than 3 degrees of separation from the “protocols of the elders of Zion”

  Conspiracy theories: supplying hallucinated facts thousands of years before AI.

  If the marriage is sexually exclusive, why would you care? If the marriage was open, why would you care? If you’re worried about infidelity, then what gender they might choose still seems like a trivial issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is South Korea "Over"? Is Japan on the verge of "Collapse"? Do these narratives have real evidence or just exaggerating/fearmongering?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The population of Earth has doubled in my lifetime. Population growth is only slowing if you exclude brown people and focus on countries that 1)are wealthy and 2) don’t allow immigration. These ‘demographic bombs’ are the result of jingoism, immigration controls, and racism; they are entirely artificial.

  Slow population growth is a crisis for capitalism not humanity. This is because capitalism requires infinite growth and the biggest engine that sustains that delusion is population growth. Just look who is freaking out about it.

  My boomer mom cannot exist without the TV on. She literally will wake up if you turn it off. When she switched to streaming instead of cable, the “are you still watching” messages were a big obstacle. Oh, and she spends more time on video games than I do.

  Anti-theists are single-digit basic bigots who think they found a loophole.

  You see, if the device from the meme was ever plugged in, it’d blow the breaker immediately. This male to male cord, if plugged into two outlets would do nothing.

  That’s the worst trigger discipline I’ve ever seen.

  Bipedal locomotion has some pretty big drawbacks. Like falling over. You’d be surprised how many people die that way.

  Best not build trillion dollar robots that can trip and fall. Mines, tripwires, and Ewoks become lethal countermeasures.

  They should study this. It should be pretty cheap since you only need to study one person from each era to draw conclusions about whole generations. This is how science and reason work. 🙃

  I don’t understand people who don’t love his channel. How can you not be fascinated by how we turn burning coal or nuclear fission into cold air?

  Call me old fashioned, but violence in the bedroom should be simulated, not actual. Can a girl consent to being punched? How about stabbed (with a knife) or shot (with a gun)?

  Sexual liberation is about enjoying your body, not permission to become a goddamn Cenobite. Some kinks should be shamed.

  I’ve been ride or die with FF since before Chrome was a thing. I keep Vivaldi installed for a few things, but FF is my daily driver.

  I know that Mozilla has made some decisions that I don’t agree with, but the Internet would be worse off without FF.

  I saw a person argue that this really makes the Markle family look bad; as if unworthy of royalty. Someone quickly reminded this British racist patriot that this is actually something the Markles and Windsors have in common.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Max has really turned to shit since the Skydance takeover⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was disappointed when it was canceled. The lead actor was good, but apparently beat up his girlfriend. He got canceled from Marvel over it and the last I heard from him he was in a movie produced by the Daily Wire, so… a falling star for sure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Max has really turned to shit since the Skydance takeover⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As you said HBO has great scripted shows. So don’t forget about the catalogue. OZ, The Sopranos, True Detective, Watchmen, Lovecraft Country, Deadwood, Chernobyl, The Wire, Succession, and Barry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HBO Max has really turned to shit since the Skydance takeover⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You take actors that don’t need to be paid union rates, very low edit costs, nearly no writing, and you pad the drama out with as many camera swaps as you can.

  That sounds like a reason to invest in RealityTV; a reason not to watch it.

  Also, even if I do have a meter stick, how tf am I supposed to measure and mark 0.288 of one?

  If only there was a way to calculate 0.288 of a meter. Maybe we could get a mathematician to draw up some kind of formula that’d let us cypher 29% of a meter.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is "sunsetting" used as a term to indicate a service is shutting down?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s a common term because (almost) all humans understand how the sun works.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In my lifetime, most bigotries have been in decline. But misogyny is bad and getting worse. Those Reddit videos, as far as I can tell, are just feeding some desire that some dudes have to hit women. That shit didn’t come from a few posters, it didn’t even come from a few subs; but it made it to the frontpage almost every day.

  Weak men are violent to women because they’re pitiful. The man who dreams of a woman to control has given up on the idea of a woman to love. And the idea that a woman could love him. When I was young, people like this were ashamed. Incel culture is like a pride parade for loosers and pussies.

  Coriolis effects

  In old-school navigation, the Coriolis effect had to be accounted for especially for long distances. Snipers must also account for the effect.

  I’m not sure if this is art from Bioshock, or slop. The bayonet is a nice touch and makes me think a human did this, but I can’t tell anymore.
