How do you know it’s AI?
- Comment on Arc Raiders is testing a PvE mode because "a large and growing group" refuse to hunt each other 3 days ago:
I’m not sure how I feel about this. I don’t hurt other people and I think most don’t but I feel like that what makes other people feel nice, knowing they could hurt you but choose not to. If I’m in trouble I think most people are more likely to help than hurt me. A little bit of danger makes it exciting.
This happened with Ultima Inline years ago, they made two servers, one for people who wanted PvP and one for those who don’t, and you could switch between them relatively freely. The PvP side ended up being a total death trap where you would get PKed instantly while the other side felt too safe.
- Comment on Lib Dems vote to scrap EHRC trans guidance as party brands it 'discriminatory and unworkable' 6 days ago:
I don’t really understand how this works. The government seems quite sympathetic to trans rights but their hands are tied by existing legislation. But why don’t they just rewrite the legislation?
- Comment on 'Project Hail Mary' Top Disc Seller in August; 'Avatar: Fire and Ash' Still No. 1 for 2026 - Media Play News 1 week ago:
Who is even watching Avatar, never mind buying it?
- Comment on Winter is coming 1 week ago:
The hottest temperature ever recorded on Earth is like 56.
- Comment on Anon updates Terminator 2 1 week ago:
This one’s relatable. I left mine with a big job to do last night, the idea being that it could grind it while I was asleep and the at work, and it would have finished when I got back. Just checked in and it forgot to start it.

I watched a documentary where a bird did that with its beak.

It’s playing Doom as well:
- Comment on 'I'd rather die than ring the police': Distrust and fear in Middlesbrough after A66 crash 3 weeks ago:
Apparently they blame the police for the crash, not the people who were driving the wrong way down a motorway.
- Comment on ASDA can fuck right off 5 weeks ago:
Hate to say it but some people like this. I know my Auntie will be thinking about all this shit now. She likes to enjoy the Christmas time and have everything ready by early November.

Is this just someone implying everyone can be friends?
- Comment on US airman accused of ‘spree’ of rapes on sleeping women avoided UK courts 2 months ago:
He avoided UK courts because the investigation was handed over to the US and they gave him five years.
- Comment on What are y'all's opinions on the Fitbit Air? 2 months ago:
If it wasn’t Google I’d probably have got one. I got a Polar Loop instead. It’s got quite a few negative reviews because when it first came out it had loads of problems but it’s fine now. It’s not as cheap but from a reputable EU company.
- Comment on Man dressed as fox pulls out of Clacton election because it's become a 'circus' 2 months ago:
Only 33% want Binface to win? Even the Farage supports should want Binface to win.
- Comment on I agree with don 2 months ago:
Sit at home, stand at work. My daughter would reach through my legs and try to grab the stream so it’s just habit now.
- Comment on The Nintendo 64 is now 30 years old! Released in Japan on June 23, 1996. 2 months ago:
I bought one the day it came out in the UK. Back in those days they didn’t get released in all countries at the same time, there was nearly a year between Japan and the UK. I used to go through the backs of magazines staring at the adverts trying to find someone who would sell an import for a remotely reasonable price but they were inflated by like 2.5x.
- Comment on So wise. 2 months ago:
This is probably only useful when you’re finding percentages of 50 or 100.

I had no idea Camden Market was owned by somebody.

A few hours? No he isn’t. There has to be a leadership contest which will take weeks.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
I’m in the UK and only once have I been in a cinema where people were shouting the things. It was some pretty mediocre horror thing and there were some teenagers shouting jokes but it was only like two times. The cinema was pretty much empty and it was just us and them; I think they just found the film a bit boring (we certainly did).
- Comment on Do "fixers" like Winston Wolfe in Pulp Fiction actually exist in real life? How does one go about getting one or hearing about one? Are they all mob connected or something? 3 months ago:
I always thought those concierges in fancy hotels act a bit like that. I’ve heard that guests can show up with weird rich person problems and be like “I need three gold Ferraris by 9pm” and the concierges will have to make it happen.
- Comment on 3 months ago:
When I was looking for a job an awful long time ago I was sending 8 a day and that seems small time compared to what you’d need to do now. Most of these places will have AI doing first soft on the applications anyway so don’t feel like you’ll be annoying anyone.
- Comment on UK urged not to further weaken EV rules as CO2 impact revealed 3 months ago:
I honestly think incentivising people to move to electric is better than punishing people who are staying out. The combustion ban seems to be a bit of a catalyst for the anti-green energy people while plenty of people seem to be going electric anyway. Right now it seems like you need a good excuse not to go electric when you buy a new car.
- Comment on Do you stay on vpn 24/7 or turn it on whenever you need it? 3 months ago:
On when I need it. Otherwise I’m clicking captchas all day.
- Comment on Day 679 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 3 months ago:
I’ve seen this game mentioned a few times. I think I’ll have to play it knowing how short it is. I hate games that hang around too long.
- Comment on Italy’s top court rules against tourist refused tap water in Dolomites hotel 4 months ago:
That’s mental. It’d be illegal in many countries. In the UK any place that sells alcohol has to give free water.
- Comment on I would like to play a calm game 4 months ago:
No Mans Sky is my chill game.
- Comment on Just say no 4 months ago:
Yeah, doesn’t bother me. I’ll just leave it crunching a boring problem while I go away and make a cup of tea or chat some shit.
- Comment on You gotta try #19 4 months ago:
Most countries don’t even call that bacon; that’s streaky bacon. Proper bacon is what Canadians have.
But I’d go for 4.
- Comment on Over 2,100 parkrunners and supporters rally against legal threat over trans policy 4 months ago:
You have to be a real piece of shit to go against ParkRun. I think it’s one of the most wholesome things around. Just a bunch of volunteers get together to encourage people to get out and exercise with absolutely no judgment and nothing but good vibes. Even on Xitter they’re getting torn to shreds for this.
