- Comment on Please ban data caps, Internet users tell FCC 1 month ago:
Honestly I don’t mind reasonable data caps. Like I get it, they don’t want someone torrenting 100tb of data in a day. That bogs things down.
But with 4k streaming, downloading 100gb game updates on PS5, and YouTube basically constantly on in the background, I’ll hit the 1TB per month comcast limit in like 2 weeks. And that is just me, nevermind having any roommates at all.
1TB just isn’t enough for the modern Internet.
- Comment on I need a Glassdoor account AND a review of a previous employer to see reviews on the website 2 months ago:
What are they? I’d love it if people actually embraced using a different platform. Glassdoor makes no sense anymore
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 3 months ago:
As God, I temporarily relieve the souls who are currently in a rush from the consequences of failing the shopping cart test. They will be tested again, however, using seemingly innocuous daily items to prove if they belong in the good place.
- Comment on Posting the shopping cart theory because people had questions in a separate thread 3 months ago:
Here’s the thing - the people who don’t return their shopping carts even know that this is a test. If they did, their behavior would change. If you know about the test, it fundamentally voids the test. And that is what makes it valid. If there is no pressure, what do they do?

You are a man with a plan. Green flag

I’m glad we aren’t incentivized. It allows for this ultimate litmus to take place. I will literally go shopping with dates to figure this out.

Just checked, looks like they are wired. I get it for certain games, but generally I prefer the convenience of wireless.

Chex quest. I got this game in a cereal box back in 1996. It defined my childhood.
Now they have an HD version on steam.
- Comment on Disney creates best argument for piracy in a century. 4 months ago:
anyone who has seen the news on this and kept their Disney+ subscription should be, for moral purposes, treated as someone who condones murder
Bro, not gonna lie, this is a bad take. My grandparents just want to watch their soap operas, my parents really like star wars.
It’s like global warming. Blaming individuals for not recycling is not the move - taking action against huge corporations is the only realistic way to make change. By blaming random people, we end up looking like crazy people.

I’m told that India and Pakistan loved this setup, and still celebrate the arbitrary line to this day.

- Comment on Let's discuss: Journey 8 months ago:
Journey is a spiritual journey for me. I try to play it once every couple of years to remind me of the impermanence of life and existence.
Fuck the robot snakes, I want a long scarf.

Air fryers have changed the game. My life is different now. I’m a changed man. I fry my food with the air. I will never go back.

Good question, it all actually comes from the great predecessor moth who imbued its children with the energy needed to carry on for generations. This singular imbuement of life has carried them for the last four thousand years, and it is unknown when it will run out. When that time comes, the Luna moth will be no more.

It is so engrained into society that suggested tips on the receipt are welcomed, because then you don’t need to do the math
- Comment on I'm not asking to be rich. 1 year ago:
Ah yeah definitely. I’m assuming this study was done somewhere like California.
- Comment on I'm not asking to be rich. 1 year ago:
And not enough money makes you unhappy, but money does not make you happy.
There’s a study done a while ago that said something to the effect of: do you need at least 50k per year. Up until then, the money increases your ability to be happy. But after that point, it doesn’t make you any more happy.
Happiness comes from being able to take care of your body, mind, and spirit (spirit not in the religious sense, but in a feeling of having purpose and understanding oneself).

Nah man, I’m pretty far left. Apparently that isn’t good enough here though. I feel like if I’m not north of Lenin’s ass here, I’m capitalist scum. Its pretty frustrating
- Comment on How crucial texting is too modern dating 1 year ago:
Hey! Ngl dating apps suck - they are engineered basically to keep people addicted to them, and single.
The best thing to do to find a real interesting person to date is to go do stuff you want to do. Join Meetup groups, school clubs, etc. Just have fun. Live your life. Don’t base your happiness on finding a romantic partner - that is looking for an external solution for an internal problem. It doesn’t work.
Eventually you will run into someone else interesting. Don’t have expectations, just express genuine interest in them. Ask questions. Let them talk. Be open and willing to be vulnerable.
Good luck dude!
