- Comment on What is the first electronic device kids get these days? (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Game consoles?) 21 hours ago:
My nephew got one of those smart watches for kids. There’s no real games, the camera sucks, and he can only contact and be contacted by approved numbers but it’s nice to have.
I like getting his goofy texts, too
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 1 day ago:
Sounds like the genre’s just not for you. I also don’t enjoy games like this BUT it’s not wasting time if you’re having fun
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 5 days ago:
I don’t really like games like this (I know Hollow Knight is a masterpiece if you do) but I’d be tempted to buy it for $20 just to support the studio
- Comment on Vague design choice 1 week ago:
You shouldn’t need an indent to make it clear what all the buttons do lol
Terrible design.
- Comment on Vague design choice 1 week ago:
It would also be “easy to figure out” if each button had a different color and there was a table of what each color did. Neither design is good, though. No one should have to “figure out” what such a simple set of buttons does
The problems with it are so apparent, defending it makes me think you just wanted to argue about something today lol

Second time in 24 hours I’ve seen you complain about suggestions that the rich should be killed
- Comment on Why the skibidi are you adding skibidi to the Cambridge Dictionary? We think it has "staying power", answer word boffins 2 weeks ago:
They did it so articles like this would be written about them. Easy advertising
Like the time “bootylicious” was added. A word everyone stopped using a year later
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 3 weeks ago:
I rolled my eyes at your optimism that such a material would exist but I took it all back by the end. Despite it being incredibly niche and unrealistic, that is by far the most clever suggestion in the thread!
- Comment on Samsung Defeats BOE In Landmark OLED Trade Secrets Case, Securing 15-Year U.S. Market Ban And Reinforcing Its Leadership In Display Technology 3 weeks ago:
This ruling will surely lead to major advancements in their technology such as…changing the VESA location on every model of their commercial displays.
- Comment on If suffering is good because it gives life meaning, wouldn't it follow that hurting people is good? 3 weeks ago:
Your premise is wrong but you should watch Bojack Horseman and pay attention to Diane’s arc, specifically the episode Good Damage
- Comment on Every support thread on Reddit is literally this now 4 weeks ago:
Would you sign up for a social media website if all the tech support posts looked like the above?
- Comment on Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases? 4 weeks ago:
Wow, it’s not like I was doing the shopping myself in 1995 but I’m still surprised I’ve never seen one of these!
- Comment on Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases? 4 weeks ago:
In a fraction of the time it took you to make this, you could have confirmed yourself that these are all the same size
- Comment on Can an American explain to me what's with the grooves on PS1 NTSC cases? 4 weeks ago:
Really?? I got a PS1 when they were pretty new and all of my games are in standard jewel cases.
- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 5 weeks ago:
Yes, this is exactly the point I was making.
Parents generally put thought into their gifts to their kids. This is saying “I’ve been thinking about you masturbating. I’ve been thinking about how to help you reach climax”
- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 5 weeks ago:
It’s not weird to make them aware of it or even suggest it. It’s weird to buy them one - especially as a birthday gift.
“Dad and I thought long and hard about what to get you and we choose this masturbation tool because we thought about you masturbating”
- Comment on How abnormal is it for a mother to be her son a fleshlight for his 18th birthday? 5 weeks ago:
No, it’s definitely abnormal because it’s weird for a parent to help their offspring masturbate.
What about a father buying his daughter a vibrator for her 18th birthday?
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
Is the only thing to believe in a higher power?
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen it in years but I still listen to Strings That Tie To You regularly
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
Hmmm hymnal music, haven’t heard that term but dig into a bit more, thanks! I’ll see if I can find any specific artists they’ve mentioned
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah this one slaps. Definitely an acceptable level of churchiness!
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
Damn I forgot all about these guys! I loved this song in Eternal Sunshine (along with the rest of the soundtrack/OST)
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
Not quite what I’m after but I did love it. Hilarious and well-executed mashup of genres
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
Pretty close!! If he had a choir behind him it’d be perfect!
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
DAMN why didn’t I think to post this exact example of what I want??
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
I love James Brown but what I’m describing is very much not a James Brown concert, he has a full band with horns and electric instruments
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
That’s what I’m struggling with, I don’t think any of the “root” genres bring the specific elements I’m searching for. Mainly the call-and-response with a small choir.
The closest I’ve found is like stomp clap indie folk but no bands really do the choir thing.
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
I do! They fit the strong lead singer description for sure but what I can’t seem to find is it paired with an upbeat choir.
Like imagine being in a pew of a small black church in Georgia. They’ve got a piano, a bass, and maybe a small drum kit. The singer is going ham and a small choir is backing them up.
My Lord Jesus, glory be! (Glory be! Glory be!)
Lord Jesus always there for me! (Glory be! Yes indeed!)
- Comment on Is there gospel music minus the gospel? 5 weeks ago:
This isn’t quite what I’m after but I’m pretty into it regardless!
