I’m very suspicious of anyone who thinks punishment is the solution to anything. Double that when the person being subjected to suffering is low on the social order.

4K textures are a scam. With upscaling, even the people who run games in 4K don’t use the 4K textures.
- Comment on Is there any other meats that are a good comparison for the taste of venison? 5 days ago:
It’s most similar to beef. I would recommend adding it to chili, stew, or curry. In dishes that are cooked forever and heavily seasoned, you may not be able to tell much difference.
I’ve never tried it grilled like a steak, I would suspect that’d be quite different to beef.

Yes. IQ tests can be studied and your score can be increased like any other test. This is because IQ doesn’t measure intelligence, it measures IQ score.
If your asking about intelligence, then also yes. You can study and become smarter and more knowledgeable. Or you can hit your head or read the Daily Wire and become less intelligent.
- Comment on Why Aren't there More Fem-Focused Werewolf Stories? 1 week ago:
There is a whole genre of werewolf porn literature and the audience is primarily female. Lindsey Ellis did a couple of videos about this a few years ago.

I read that if the AMOC fails, Western Europe will be like central Siberia. That is to say -30 in the winter, and 40 in the summer.
- Comment on Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal? 2 weeks ago:
There was a nurse in a fertility clinic who was an addict and replaced the fentanyl drip with saline in her clinic. Multiple women experienced agony during the procedure for extracting eggs. That procedure was to insert a huge syringe into the vagina, through the vagina wall, into the ovaries to suck up some eggs.
Many women experienced this with no pain medication at all and their complaints, even their screams were dismissed. Needless to say, when the addict nurse was discovered, they felt pretty silly.
Doctors have incredible tolerance for the suffering of women.

People who get vexed over gender in character creation are the same people bound to get really upset when watching a movie trailer.
- Comment on I mean does anybody really know how to play Chess? 2 weeks ago:
I gave up on playing chess. The game has become such a metaphor, such a fetish symbol for intellect, so every dude “knows how to play”, but won’t risk the humiliation of loss, and therefore won’t play. I don’t enjoy online chess, so I just don’t get to play.
- Comment on "Linux? Those guys who like to talk about themselves?" 2 weeks ago:
This is true! Ignorance of Linux is the no1 reason people don’t adopt it. This is doubly hard for Window-brains because the concept of choosing an OS is foreign to them. From their perspective it’s your boss, your school, or your parents who choose your OS.
- Comment on Open-World Games with Drivable Motorbikes? 2 weeks ago:
I found the motorcycle driving in this game to be painful. Your ride is one of the things that you upgrade, so at the beginning, your bike is slow, can’t turn, and runs out of gas after a mile. It does get better, but early game is frustrating.

Even with the wardrobe, they couldn’t pull off sexual connection. There is more chemistry in this scene than anything with Anikin and Padme.

If we were to erase the contributions of assholes, abusers, and shitheads the way we do frauds, it would set science, philosophy, and mathematics back hundreds of years.

If only people could accept that English being a living language isn’t just about the past, but words are changing now, and that’s OK.
This is for the people who gouge their own eyes out when they hear people say “unalived”; the people who (suspiciously) insist on the clinical definition of pedophile; and “it’s called a magazine actually” gun-brains.
- Comment on When your computer says "You don't have permission to edit this file": 3 weeks ago:
Either I don’t understand your comment, or you don’t understand chmod. What you describe ins’t beyond chmod; it’s the basic functionality of chmod.
- Comment on When your computer says "You don't have permission to edit this file": 3 weeks ago:
Mastering file permissions is a big part of becoming Linux capable. And it essential to the “everything is a file” ethos. Wanna lock down an important file or program? chmod is a powerful ally.
Microslop has tried to adopt a half-ass elevated permissions scheme, but with lame-ass UAC and users who’ve no idea why Explorer doesn’t have administrator rights on their administrator account.
- Comment on Why are we so afraid of cockroaches? 3 weeks ago:
Where I live, we have a problem with American cockroaches. American cockroaches are a good news/ bad news kinda deal. The good news is that they nest out of doors so they don’t live in your house, and their presence is not a commentary on your housekeeping.
The bad news is that they will get into your house and they’re about 4 times bigger than the German cockroaches that everyone is familiar with. You can hear them crawling, and they can fly.
I asked the exterminator how to get rid of them for good, and his advice was to move.

That’s not true. Linux users do this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Microslop users. Microslop has billions of users, but fewer than 20 fanboys, worldwide.

It’s always so funny to me the way Western Islamophobs like to point out Islamic misogamy as though they’re not exactly the kind of people that Western women had to fight to get those rights.

- Comment on Elon Musk taking delivery of his McLaren F1 shortly after selling Zip2 for $307 million in 1999 3 weeks ago:
It’s telling that someone who gets a windfall immediately purchases a status symbol. Almost as if the point of being rich is lost if everyone doesn’t know it.
Wealth is wasted on the rich.
