- Comment on All workers deserve the same Paid Time Off deal as Mitch. 6 days ago:
Lmao, as if they’d wait a day. I’ve seen multiple people get fired for “No call, no show” that same dag when management forgot they gave them the day off
- Comment on A slain officer who acted heroically gets booed. He was a Marine veteran. Really great culture. 1 week ago:
He went too long without being told what to think. He tried his best, but thankfully he was immediately corrected
- Comment on "Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature? 1 week ago:
The only private key with docusign is the fact you has access to the email inbox. And it’s not even a private key, just a symmetric key in the link of the email. They might do some basic user agent and IP checks for suspicious activity, but if someone you know has access to your email DocuSign wouldn’t know the difference
- Comment on Sony's PlayStation Profits Rose 37% – Powered by Tariff Refunds, Not Game Sales 2 weeks ago:
They wouldn’t. They didn’t have any peoblem continuing to sell. So why do they need a refund?
- Comment on Sony's PlayStation Profits Rose 37% – Powered by Tariff Refunds, Not Game Sales 2 weeks ago:
Sony also accepted the tariffs by selling them at a higher price. Sony didn’t have to keep selling in the US, no one forces them.
- Comment on Sony's PlayStation Profits Rose 37% – Powered by Tariff Refunds, Not Game Sales 2 weeks ago:
Also, a majority of Americans voted to introduce tariffs.
There was not a vote on tariffs, there was a vote on the president. Trump got more votes than Kamala Harris, but that does not mean most people wanted tariffs. Trump also ran on a campaign of “No new wars” and yet here we are.
The reason Sony received this money in the first place was because of errors made by the American government, making the tariffs illegal.
What errors? Trump making an executive order to put tariffs in place? That wasn’t an error, it was completely intentional. It was just illegal.
- Comment on Only boomers can use this bench. Meanwhile, they're trying to get rid of their own property taxes. 2 weeks ago:
They’re saying it’s absurd to try to stop anyone from using a public bench
- Comment on They eliminated cashiers and keep the profits. NY Democrats are fighting back. 2 weeks ago:
Most people can do a pickup order now anyway. So of you truly want the most value for the least labor, you should only do pickup orders
- Comment on Hey jackass, this is why trucks with large tires are supposed to have mud flaps. 2 weeks ago:
They’re more of a goal for the wealthy and elected officials
- Comment on Why is AOC a big deal? She just speaks common sense and calls out absurdity. Have we really gone that far off the rails where we don't do it ourselves? 3 weeks ago:
MTG played the wrong cards (or right cards, really) and won’t be nearly as relevant in the news
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
Well, I suppose they could still do that without really hurting business. You have to admit that the money lost from people physically waiting outside the building would be pretty minimal
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
Idk why you said nah, because we are saying the same thing. The headlines would be on display, just like they are now
- Comment on NYT hiding information regarding a health related food recall behind a paywall 3 weeks ago:
All news was behind a paywall at one point. If you did not pay for a newspaper, you did not get the news. No matter how important, the news was paywalled. We have the FDA for plain old recall announcements. If you want the news story behind the recall, a journalist has to research and write an article, which isn’t free. It’s also under attack by a certain orange man and his goonies, so they need all the support they can get.
- Comment on Some of Android's Most Interesting Games Aren't on the Play Store 1 month ago:
I don’t really agree with the original comment, but your response is worse than what you’re responding to. What does what you saw in the modlog have to do with this comment? He really wasn’t that mean, and raises a valid point at least. You could’ve just said “We should’ve checked but it’s still a fun topic” or something that acknowledges the mistake but moves on anyway.
Also, if it costs money for people reading it, why would you share it? I assume you shared it because the cost is worth the price of sharing something you enjoy, but if that’s true why bring up cost at all?
Btw, it’s a bit cliche to respond to criticism with the sentiment of “I’d like to see you do better” rather than accept it for what it is (assuming there is validity to it).
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 1 month ago:
I am an American who cares about privacy largely because of Snowden. His book was very eye opening, and a great read. So that’s at least 1 person
- Comment on Do you think that Edward Snowden is a hero? 1 month ago:
What do you mean? All that information is available in the next data breach
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 month ago:
This is an online forum. Most of these comments are sent from the toilet. If we wanted perfect sentences, we’d use AI to rewrite our thoughts. I’d rather clunky imperfect writing that doesn’t flow well than have something even partially, let alone entirely, written by AI. That’s not so say all well written text is AI, but imperfections are human
- Comment on Why is leadership valued so much over expertise? 1 month ago:
None of that is because of middle managers. No matter what, someone will need to job of coordinating with various departments, prioritizing tasks, selling ideas, motivating, and overall being good at coordinating. Idk if I’ve personally met a manager good at those things, but I know I would be worse at it.
- Comment on Some of Android's Most Interesting Games Aren't on the Play Store 1 month ago:
I wish there was more, honestly. Not exclusive to FDroid, but Mindustry is probably the best open source game I’ve played. I enjoyed Breakout71, but once you are just trying to unlock jew apps it gets repetitive and too luck based with getting the upgrades you need
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
How much of that applies here since they are overseas?

- Comment on What happened to us Pirates? We used to sail the web and never even thought about reprecussions just sharing. Now it seems like it costs to be a pirate like a VPN and such. WTH happened? 2 months ago:
Why is “VPN” in quotes? Do you think it’s a euphemism for something?
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 2 months ago:
lmao, kids have little interest in Bob’s Burgers. It’s too slow paced and the content goes over kids heads.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 2 months ago:
Owl House was a good watch, and I only watched it as an adult. Gravity Falls is great as well, and stars Alex Hirsch as well.
- Comment on As adults, do you still watch kids’ cartoons, either old or new? 2 months ago:
don’t watch some cartoons if you want to preserve the memory of how fond of the cartoon you were as a kid
I think the best shows are the ones that are just as good as an adult. Avatar the Last Airbender, Gravity Falls, Spongebob before the first movie, Owl House, Phineas and Ferb, and plenty others. If anything, rewatching them as an adult helps you get jokes that went over your head as a kid. Some of those I only watched as an adult, and they were still good.
- Comment on GameSir Tako: A vertical phone controller for retro games. At $21 in China, is it worth it? 2 months ago:
This would be used on your phone, for all of the advantages that may come with. From customization, battery life, portability, bigger screen, screen quality, or whatever else. It’s a device you are going to have with you anyway
- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 2 months ago:
They mentioned in the video more cops came because they wanted to meet the gaming grandma, and they cleared the scene pretty quick.

I don’t think the goal is to get them killed most of the time. It’s mostly kids thinking they’re “pranking” them, and just want to scare them.

That’s if you play one of those. Seems like she was in a single player world. I wouldn’t consider Minecraft an MMO in the typical sense.

Assuming this was in the US, most 911 dispatchers are E911, so the approximate location is automatically included with the call. Smart phones are able to provide a more accurate location, and dispatchers still ask location because they don’t know what floor you’re on if it’s a multi story building.
