- Comment on Do women actually enjoy sex? 3 days ago:
Full disclosure: am a guy.
Holding your breath allows you to tense up and clench more than you can while breathing. Taking a deep breath eliminates some “tensing” muscles from the equation. Still, with some effort (or anxiety, probably) you can still clench up while breathing.

No idea, but it could be the account I used (my friend in Belize) is compromised. The charges are coming from PSN. I’ve checked, And it’s not him

Unless something changed recently, Google Play has always accepted my privacy cards. I have one saved now a my family payment method on my Nvidia Shield account.
Don’t use Apple products, so can’t speak to that.

You can’t avoid all of the surveillance, but this helps a lot.
- Comment on Are there any payment aggregators (Like Paypal for instance) that prioritize user privacy? 1 week ago:
Been using privacy.com for years. You can enter any ZIP code, any name and the seller won’t know anything about you unless you’re shipping to your home, I guess. Some markets will see the cards as gift cards and won’t accept them, but that is rare.
I use it wherever I can, especially for services that always used to end up with a stolen CC#. The cards can be single use or locked to a single merchant. I used a single use card on PSN three years ago and still get fraudulent charge attempts to this day, but the card stopped working after one use, as designed.
- Comment on Which version of the Switch 2 should I purchase despite them being the exact same? 2 weeks ago:
All good. I’m not shitting on anyone’s choice, especially when it comes to playing Zelda which you can’t do anywhere else (except PC emulation). But I’ll always pipe up with a reminder when I see detailed breakdowns of how to get
rapedthe coolest new console by Nintendo.I do think its worth putting out there that my CPU/GPU manufacturer never sued anybody for how they used the product they paid for. They also can’t take my games away, or brick my hardware. But, yeah, the Switch is cool, if it was $250 and not owned by the most litigious game-related company out there.
- Comment on Which version of the Switch 2 should I purchase despite them being the exact same? 2 weeks ago:
Right. Nintendo is the best ecosystem. I’ve been PC since my 486. Never regretted it or wished I had a console. But if you’re cool with Nintendo shenanigans, enjoy. I hope they don’t brick your console for you.

Buying anything from that horrible company that sues their own customers and fans is a big NO from me.
- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 3 weeks ago:
The “and noodles” belong to the potato.
- Comment on "Take the medicine for one week" is monday-sunday or monday-monday? 4 weeks ago:
Usually seven days, but the vet may want you to use up all of the medication rather than going by the calendar.
- Comment on How come lemmy.world won't allow me to connect while using NordVpn? I just got it and never seen anything on lemmy.world say anything about it. 4 weeks ago:
I use PIA because my ISP uses CGNAT and lots of services think that means I’m behind a VPN. Surprisingly, the VPN gets me around the VPN restriction sometimes. Go figure…
- Comment on How come lemmy.world won't allow me to connect while using NordVpn? I just got it and never seen anything on lemmy.world say anything about it. 4 weeks ago:
tl;dr people were posting CSAM behind VPNs, and they has to either deal with CSAM and ensuing legal issues, or block VPN traffic.
- Comment on Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal? 5 weeks ago:
At least he cites women, right?
- Comment on Why do doctors not seem to give a fuck about pain? Is this just an American doctor thing, or is it universal? 5 weeks ago:
I believe John Oliver covered this exact phenomenon in this video: youtu.be/TATSAHJKRd8
tl;dw Doctors assume women exaggerate pain compared to men (the opposite is true), in addition to ethnic (we’re all the same race, so I don’t use that term anymore) biases also discussed in the video.
- Comment on How do I do the Salvage Voice from Frickbear's 3? I have Audacity. 5 weeks ago:
Hmm… Never tried, but I assume you record yourself and then start applying filters/effects from the dropdown.
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 5 weeks ago:
Was going to write these exact words.
- Comment on How do I do the Salvage Voice from Frickbear's 3? I have Audacity. 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know what that is, but you might want to switch to Tenacity. It’s a fork of audacity without the data collection. Its diverged some, but does everything you need it to.

I just meant it was big. I’m glad I moved out the next month.

- Comment on What hot af take do you have that you think you will be HORRIBLY executed and shunned from society for? 1 month ago:
Feel free to down vote me and called me a sleazeball douchebag troll.
To late! You already said we could execute and shun you (though I think the former sort of precludes the latter).
- Comment on Have you ever purchased or rented TV shows on Prime Video by season? 1 month ago:
If it can be taken away, it’s not ownership.
- Comment on Why are we so afraid of cockroaches? 1 month ago:
That is truly horrifying. I’ve had a yellowjackett wasp crawl in my ear and sting me repeatedly. I’d prefer the yellowjackett.
- Comment on Why are we so afraid of cockroaches? 1 month ago:
I lived in an apartment building with a big pipe leading to the septic tank. Cockroaches were always visible crawling in and out of the gaps between the concrete and pipe, living in the literal shithole. They carry so many germs!!!
At night, that’s scale the building and come visit us. I woke up one night to my cat staring slightly above my head. I moved a tiny bit, and a big mind cockroach jumped of my headboard onto my face, then onto the blankets, where my cat swiftly executed it (with no small level of skill and reflexes). That night left an impression on me.
I hope this explains both fear and being spooked by them.

I feel for you. That sucks to have your life thrown into chaos for a decimal number on the balance sheet.

- Comment on Is it possible to install a distro directly from online ? 1 month ago:
Almost every linux distro is better on RAM than Windows. That said, application memory management has gotten pretty sloppy over the past decade or so. I boot into MX linux (KDE) on my 16GB RAM laptop, and I am using about 2GB after boot. Once I load my password manager and open my browser (Librewolf with 18 tabs) I am sitting at 5.4GB used.
But! Even when this laptop had only 4GB RAM, it always ran MX fast and never complained about low memory.
- Comment on Is it possible to install a distro directly from online ? 1 month ago:
Sort of like GrapheneOS does, right? I don’t actually have GOS, but I thought the installer worked like that. Otherwise, there’s always the WSL that I think is how I installed Ubuntu (just as a test!!! I haven’t used Ubuntu since 2009) inside Windows 10 a few years back.

I absolutely hate commuting. If there’s one thing I learned in the spring/summer of 2020, it’s that not driving to work is awesome.
