Lol this gets into the weirdness of my comment and the parent which is that you can’t deal in multiples in a binary gate and English is very vague about if “you” is one or multiple
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 1 day ago:
If everyone turned off their smartphones for a day it would account for less than 1% of greenhouse gas emissions on the planet.
If you have a fridge in your house it’s likely using almost 100 times more power than your smartphone. Your heating or air conditioning is using far more power. The steel industry, agricultural industry, transportation, are all pumping out greenhouse gasses at a rate that using electronics is negligible.
AI is becoming another one of those industries, but if everyone turned off their personal devices, they would still need to get up, go to work, which would likely use AI, because they need to buy groceries and pay rent and keep their home powered, and capitalism churns.
Being outraged at the systems around us is a good thing, pointing the outrage toward people living daily lives while wealthy corporations and people do everything in their power to do as little as possible for social good while farming maximum personal benefit, power, and profit is not.

Plus you get free experimental life extension drugs and maybe after it’s done your retinas directly interface with Palantir

They’ll just clone themselves and work to remove genetic impurity. Why do you think Elon has had so many IVF kids he never interacts with?

Yeah that restaurant owner will certainly learn from the fact that they don’t legally have to pay their servers minimum wage and you still paid the owner what they would have gotten whether or not the server got a tip
As another commenter said, in this situation pay the server in cash, and then review the restaurant badly everywhere you can

Yeah I think that change came after a ton of player backlash and people just no longer playing it so they changed the whole battle pass setup
- Comment on New Shoes Blues 1 week ago:
Do you have a source on that?
Last I heard “super spikes” can increase performance in track runners by like 2% and that’s basically it. Most of the rest of running shoe designs are based on weight and comfort but competitive shoe brands aren’t really one upping each other on a 15% margin
- Comment on What a shocker! 1 week ago:
It’s funny too because it totally depends on the game and how it’s monetized and set up as well. I had some of the most fun in games in my life playing quick play in the original overwatch with my buddies, even though I almost exclusively prefer offline single player open world games.
My skill increased dramatically with our constant playing, I switched between DPS, tank, heals and really learned the roster. Not that far off from playing N64 super smash with those same friends in college and switching to a new character when you felt like you had learned one pretty well.
I would get annoyed at losing, but it was whatever, I wasn’t trying to rank in competitive mode. I work hard enough in life and work, I’m not playing the game to work harder.
That being said, unless someone was a Smurf or hacking, I never got super mad at other players for simply being better than me, usually the characters felt pretty balanced and if we lost it was because of bad teamwork or lower skill. All characters were available to everyone, the only monetary value was skins.
Then I played overwatch 2, and immediately there were battle pass characters locked behind paywalls or engagement, and those characters were seriously unbalanced. The game was “free to play” and “pay to win” right off the bat and I haven’t touched it again, even though I put countless hours into the first game. And that sour taste I have now makes it so I refuse to play any game with a battle pass.

Brown women for now
ICE’s new annual budget places the federal agency among the top 20 most well-funded militaries in the world
Through the president’s signature domestic policy, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, ICE’s annual budget is expected to increase from $8.7 billion to approximately $27.7 billion, with $75 billion allocated for the agency over the next four years.
It’s not going to end with brown women, or brown people, or criminals, or whatever else was promised. No other reason to create such a well funded private military with direct presidential control and far less rules about how they can be used in comparison to the actual military

“Incredible. A new species. The chitinous shell, the impossibly long legs, the delicate, veined wings folded tight against its back. It is a creature unlike any you’ve ever seen, a marvel of evolutionary design. The scientific community will be astounded. Your name will be etched into the annals of entomology. You lean in closer, notebook and pen at the ready, to jot down the physical characteristics. And that’s when it hits you. It… it looks exactly like a stick. The profound truth, ugly and unshakeable, settles in your guts like a stone. Of course, you didn’t find it. Nobody found it. You were just the first one to stop and stare long enough to realize that the stick wasn’t a stick.”

- Comment on Have most people never seen a full starry night sky 2 weeks ago:
I’m from the northeast US. I studied abroad in Australia when I was 20 and we took a backpacking trip into the rainforest and hiked up a huge plateau (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Solitary). Certainly not like “in the middle of nowhere,” but far away from Sydney or any other major light pollution that the night sky was beautiful.
I laid down on a cliff and saw the Milky Way for the first time. It was cold as fuck, but I had a light blanket and was just captivated. When our fire died down and everyone packed into their tents I still couldn’t help but hang out on that cliff for awhile.
I’m much older now, with less ability to get up and travel without consequence, but I want to travel across the US, and I think while some of the Midwest may be boring, I’m most excited to find some dark farmland that will let me see the Milky Way again.

It’s amazing how much a visualization can help to explain
Like I had to take a few higher level math classes in college since I majored in comp sci, and the difference between a professor just writing notation on a board and rambling for an hour vs a professor explaining application and using visuals to explain was such a wild difference in the quality of classes
