  Original copies? WTF? I mean, I had this version too, but I never ever saw the originals my disks were a copy of.

  I think that ship has sailed. That word is at the moment a clear sign the person using it is an asshole. It can be reclaimed, but right now I don’t see that happening.

  Any person who unironically uses “woke” is a complete douche canoe and can go get fucked. Change my mind.

  “Level 60+, Respawn statt Rente” is such a good title.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Helpful tip for this weekend⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Still bad. It’s a commercial vehicle and the driver doesn’t have a license to transport people. At least in my country those would be serious issues when it comes to determine liability.

  I never said she should’ve been black. But some milktoast British lady is still several shades lighter than any Egyptian in history.

  Or look at Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Or Elizabeth Taylor in Cleopatra. Or John Wayne in Gengis Khan.

  I just got a Samsung phone and haven’t seen anything besides the current version and for me it’s fine.

  While that is true, for how long can you resist gravity? Gravity is the endurance hunter of the fundamental forces. Sure, you can lift your arm and resist the entire earth’s gravity. But for how long, before you succumb to gravity’s irresistible pull?

  Looks like an AI created a Studio Ghibli spider.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'Oh god': There's a buried Steam help page that shows how much money you've ever spent on the platform, and you may not want to know⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  530 dollars for 251 games in almost 22 years of service. Steam only logged about 210 hours in those years, which is bullshit. There’s almost no time recorded in Half-life, Day of defeat or Counterstrike and those are the games I played the most. I also got most games through Humblebundle, where I spent 270 dollars since June 2012. But as I haven’t been playing much on PC ever since the PS3 came out, the real money went to Sony and I don’t even want to know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. It also means you’re being sued by the copyright holder and not the state. You won’t go to prison for this shit, as opposed to actual theft.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Quantum mechanics might have the solution to joystick drift⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hall effect sensors are crazy expensive. Sony has controllers with them and they’re more than twice as expensive as the normal ones. It’s very unlikely that Sony would set this insane price without a good reason.

  I mean, the blame clearly lies on whoever created the fucking situation in the first place. I hate the trolley problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Henry Symeonis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, it might not have happened with chimpanzees, but it happens all the time with humans. So I see it more as a good allegory than a true story.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Henry Symeonis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Take five chimpanzees. Put them in a big cage. Suspend some bananas from the roof of the cage. Provide the chimpanzees with a stepladder. BUT also add a proximity detector to the bananas, so that when a chimp goes near the banana, water hoses are triggered and the whole cage is thoroughly soaked.

  Soon, the chimps learn that the bananas and the stepladder are best ignored.

  Now, remove one chimp, and replace it with a fresh one. That chimp knows nothing of the hoses. He sees the banana, notices the stepladder, and because he is a smart primate, he envisions himself stepping on the stepladder to reach the bananas. He then deftly grabs the stepladder… and the four other chimps spring on him and beat him squarely. He soon learns to ignore the stepladder.

  Then, remove another chimp and replace it with a fresh one. The scenario occurs again; when he grabs the stepladder, he gets mauled by the four other chimps – yes, including the previous “fresh” chimp. He has integrated the notion of “thou shallt not touch the stepladder”.

  Iterate. After some operations, you have five chimps who are ready to punch any chimp who would dare touch the stepladder (or curse Henry Symeonis) – and none of them knows why.
