- Comment on FedEx has absolutely no clue what 'economy' means. 1 week ago:
I think they get it very well, it’s economically advantageous for them that you pay more on your shipping.
- Comment on Why don’t more people start profit-sharing companies or co-ops? 1 week ago:
People who would start co-ops are usually decent and don’t care about profits that much. They wouldn’t exploit their workers or other obvious strategies that would put profit more important than wellbeing.
All the companies that don’t care about this have much less costs. Thus the companies that don’t care about morality can offer lower prices than the co-ops, and since most customers care about that more than anything else, the co-ops are driven out of business much more often.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 weeks ago:
I would definitely want to see them prosecuted. However, the sentence should probably be light. I’m not perfectly familiar with the justice system, so I don’t know how much of this is currently the case, but I think vigilante justice should result in smaller punishments than for example if the reason of the murder was personal gain. If it can actually be proven that the murder victim did those terrible things they were killed for, depending how terrible those things are, the sentence should be reduced. If for example someone killed Hitler, there should be no punishments for this person.
- Comment on Anon plays spin the bottle 2 weeks ago:
There are perfectly fine people on 4chan. Nothing about 4chan itself is even close to Nazism. It’s a diverse message board. The worst scum of humanity posts there, but as this image literally shows, there are perfectly normal conversations there, a lot actually.

I gave them my documents with everything except the age blocked out with a black bar. It worked.
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 4 weeks ago:
They simply don’t exist anymore. The only choice is to do this with a smart TV and never connect it to the internet.
- Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming 5 weeks ago:
Already looked into it, and see no reason for it. I don’t particularly care a few liters more size of my PC, my home can handle it. Additional cost = not worth
- Comment on Anons discuss PC vs console gaming 5 weeks ago:
How are you spending a day building a new PC though? :( I’m always done in 30mins - 1 hour max :(

Friend, keeping a partner is also necessary for reproductive success. A child historically had a higher survival rate when parents stayed together. I didn’t say that you actually want to pick anyone up with your conscious mind.
Why do you think you even feel the need to cover up your balding head. It’s the same reason, just suddenly even more obvious.
- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 1 month ago:
Then you should probably leave every game, because some dumbfucks argue about this everywhere.
- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 1 month ago:
You may not believe it, but most of our behavior is motivated by sex and appealing to our desired mates. Even if you rationally say you don’t want to pick up anyone with your rainbow hat, the original impetus to do it at all comes from a biological mind that is designed to reproduce. Being confident in who you are is a desirable trait in a partner, thus making you more attractive, thus contributing to your biological goal of reproduction. Yes, you have more rational reasons for it than just that, but it’s extremely likely that the wearing of the rainbow hat feels good to you because of million years of evolution to optimize reproductive success.
And yes, even homosexual people are subject to that, even though they technically can’t reproduce. Which I think is pretty funny honestly xD

TSS? Totally sexy speech? “Text sucks” software? Tangible speech service?
- Comment on Anon plays DnD 2 months ago:
There’s definitely a balance to be struck, and it depends on the table. I would only do this on a table where the rules are actually just guidelines.
For many others, a world needs to make sense internally. It doesn’t need to make real-world sense, but within the world with its different reality, things kinda need to be consistent. For example, if it is easily possible for a wizard to circumvent your will save by asking a trick question, the whole world would look completely different. Almost everyone who interacts with any kind of wizard would be extremely guarded around giving consent for anything since it might just be a ploy to remove their resistances.
A resourceful/logical player would now try to trick an NPC into agreeing first, and well, if it doesn’t work, you can still cast the spell normally, nothing lost. You could ask them to stop, or they could recognize themselves that doing it like that wouldn’t be fun, but if you act in the world you usually always try to make the best decisions. If you artificially limit that in a fourth-wall-breaking way, the game actually starts to lose its appeal.
If you allow stuff like this all the time, eventually the alternate reality of your characters will just become a random clown show. Problem solving will just be about who comes up with the most ridiculous thing that makes everyone laugh about its absurdity. There will be no logic or rational thought involved anymore, it’ll be no simulation anymore, just a sandbox. Which again, might be fine for certain tables, but many want to be able to immerse themselves in a different world that they can accept as at least possible, which is the actual fun for them.
So no, you aren’t necessarily “not fun” if you don’t allow this as a DM. You’re just playing a different kind of game with a different kind of fun.
- Comment on Anon browses r/AmITheAsshole 2 months ago:
It depends entirely on the maturity of the parties involved, it’s not really an “older/younger” thing.
But generally, the less mature you are, the more a relationship is selfish, i.e. you want to be in a relationship for your personal advantage, i.e. “i get sex when I have a girlfriend”. The more mature you get, the more relationships go into the direction of “I want to make the other person happy”. You still get your sex or whatever other advantage of course, but it’s much more fulfilling if you can actually give the other person what they need, and temporarily losing your personal benefit of the relationship doesn’t cause immediate breakups.
- Comment on Anon browses r/AmITheAsshole 2 months ago:
They don’t really. They are often learned the hard way, because no one attempts to explain them or just acts like they know.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:
What to do with it is to act understanding and empathetic with people like that instead of standoffish and hostile. You still insist on the better way of doing things, but there’s no actual need to attack anyone that doesn’t support the better way of doing things, even if their reasons aren’t rational.

Funny how you made exactly the comment the article predicted within itself xD
- Comment on Calling in healthy 2 months ago:
Why would you ask questions when it’s the same day? Like, don’t all sicknesses start being noticed one specific day and thus you take sick leave starting that day? That’s literally the only way it makes sense at all
- Comment on Calling in healthy 2 months ago:
Maybe you should explain your intention instead of making cryptic belittling remarks.
- Comment on Calling in healthy 2 months ago:
No one insulted you. They commented on the fact that you don’t understand reality for most people. Most jobs are so easily replaceable and have so little protections that if you start citing laws and taking sick leave like it’s rightfully yours, you’ll be fired a bit later for “unrelated” reasons.
Thus while you are right that you would be able to get your sick leave by communicating the law, you will not really get them because you’ll be out of work in a few weeks. If you want to keep your job, you don’t communicate the law and don’t take your sick leave.
Btw, unionize to prevent all this.
- Comment on Calling in healthy 2 months ago:
I mean the only thing it does is if you’re a minute late, you might as well go get a coffee and sit down in a park and be 59 minutes late.
- Comment on I just finish to see all TNG movies. 3 months ago:
Semi-unrelated question: I’ve watched Star Trek Voyager with my gf, she doesn’t know any other Trek. I don’t think we want to watch TOS, but will probably continue with TNG and DS9 next.
Do you need to know the TOS characters like Kirk, Spock etc before watching the movies, or are they adequately introduced in the movies so you can watch them as someone completely ignorant?
- Comment on Is this a triangle? 3 months ago:
But it’s absolutely clear that the first definition is meant by the person that is being responded to.
- Comment on Is this a triangle? 3 months ago:
Well that depends on your definition of curved… If I look at this image from a 3 dimensional coordinate system that includes the sphere, the edges are definitely curved. Of course, if you look at this from the coordinate system “surface of the sphere” then I would agree with you. There are 2 ways to look at this and decide if it is a triangle.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 months ago:
I agree. But is a statement like “everyone in hexbear is insane” helpful in any way at all? The only thing it serves is to further any divide and cause more hostility.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 months ago:
The times I went there with differing opinions I never got insulted. They think their views are right and (sometimes) mine wrong. They also shared their reasons and tried in their way to educate me. They have their own culture over there that is more rude/direct than normal, but it’s certainly possible to speak normally to them.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 months ago:
I think all people deserve respect by default. Only through someone’s actions may the respect for them be rescinded. Calling a whole bunch of people something is just almost never correct and only furthers any already existing divide.
- Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane? 3 months ago:
You can do these things while talking face-to-face with somebody.
Calling a whole bunch of different people with different opinions than you, that you don’t all know, “insane”, seems to me like you feel you are smarter/better than them.
