Read the link you posted and look at the name of the bug. The page has both the scientific and common name. Now look up boxelders and see if it matches
- Comment on Boxelder bugs are relentless lil critters 13 hours ago:
They aren’t. Boxelder is different than kissing bug
Weirdly I just learned all about boxelders the other day when one appeared on my desk. There’s a Reddit thread really similar to this one with people trying to explain that boxelders aren’t the same bug lol

Not the same bug

Didn’t even think of that but yeah true. They aim for quality over quantity and it should stay that way

That doesn’t really have any impact on my point. They’re similar in a few ways but it’s like suggesting Wikipedia becomes an IMDB replacement, it would completely change the brand

Vimeo is a video hosting platform but it isn’t anywhere near YouTube replacement. It would be such a massive shift in their business model that trying to make it one would result a second dead site
There is no algorithm and search function, I don’t even think there’s a notification feature. Vimeo is mostly for artists to upload to and manually send the link

I doublechecked wikipedia before posting and the conclusion is that he was indeed doing credit card fraud. The claim that he was a well-known dine and dasher was the thing that got refuted

But wait, the guy in the photo was a fraudster. Doesn’t this imply they’re right to arrest protestors?

You might want to check your sources. Most people associate it with 4chan and the like but the term was coined in the 90s by a woman who started a support group for people who had trouble connecting with others, herself included.
But what happened, predictably, is that people who were helped by the group left. No reason to go to incel meetings if you’ve found love. The people who never found a part er grew bitter and poisoned the whole thing.

Good question. At the very least, steam will cloud sync it regardless of where it’s at on the drive so that’s an option
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
That would be even more work IMO
Unless they want to separate their non-game files, too
- Comment on Pet Peeves with Games? 1 month ago:
Hey have you tried Steam Family or whatever it’s called? You can make a new user and they have access to all of your game library. Only one account would be able to play at a time but it would solve your save file dilemma - games files are in the common folder but save files are in the user folder

Yeah let me just replace these rolling wheat hills with a rice farm. It’d totally work because wheat and rice have the same growing conditions. Dumbass

This is a great question because if you’re not familiar with wireless communication, it does make sense
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 2 months ago:
Ok you seem like an expert on this so I’ll just trust you that there is not an aspect of popular male culture that makes many men lonely. It’s just social media incels.
The average adult man definitely socializes just as much as the average man. You’ve found that old guys have as many friends as old women in your research, right? There haven’t been studies about this going back decades or anything - it’s all incels on social media. My bad.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 2 months ago:
You’re conflating things here. Terminally-online incels are often racist, would you say racism is nothing but a construct of the incel social media?
I do agree that it gets weaponized by grifters and misinterpreted by many more but you are contributing to the problem by acting like it’s an idea spawned from bitter dudes online or that it’s an idea inseparable from misogyny.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 2 months ago:
Ironically, dismissing it as just an incel thing is EXACTLY the problem. It’s not about women at all, it’s about friendship. And the social norm predates the internet, social media just exacerbated it (and for many women, too)
It can be hard for guys to make friends when they’ve lived their whole life in a “just man up” environment. I didn’t grow up in one of those and I still struggle to be vulnerable around my friends. I’m not an incel, it was just never taught to me so I had to figure it out myself.
The point of talking about the male loneliness epidemic is not to complain but to retire that type of male culture. Encourage men to be there for each other, put themselves out there, meet people and make friends.
