This is brilliant, thanks for the link!

It’s okay, ‘the shit’ is a weird phrase anyway. And as a Marathon trilogy connoisseur, you’re clearly alright.
- Comment on Bungie appears to have plagarized an artist's work and style in their extraction shooter "Marathon" according to this Bluesky post 20 hours ago:
This new game has essentially no relation besides name and logo to the old Marathon games. Sadly, because the old ones were the shit.
- Comment on What is the definition of concurrent vs cumulative? 1 day ago:
Yep, you’re right. Confused myself with all the cumulative vs consecutive vs concurrent jabber.
- Comment on What is the definition of concurrent vs cumulative? 1 day ago:
With regards to prison sentences?
Sentences served concurrently are served at the same time. If someone was found guilty of 3 different crimes, and was sentenced to 1, 3 and 5 years in prison for them, and they were to be served concurrently, they’d be in prison for a total of 5 years.
Cumulative (or consecutive, depending on where you’re from) sentences are served one after another, so in the above example, they’d be in prison for a total of 9 years.
It’s also possible for (for example) the 1 and 3 year sentences to be served cumulatively, and the 5 year to be served concurrently (in which case the total would be 8 years).
- Comment on internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times 5 days ago:
The problem with that is that that sort of policy makes the internet just cease to function. User-generated content makes up a massive portion of what’s on the internet, and it can’t possibly all be policed before being posted, unless you want to make a post on Bluesky or whatever and have to wait weeks for it to be approved after manual review. The law requires companies to promptly respond to takedown requests but as long as they do, they aren’t responsible for the content posted by their users.
- Comment on internal docs show Pornhub had 706,000 videos in May 2020 flagged for child rape or other problems, often not removed until flagged 16+ times 5 days ago:
Yeah, the part about most having 16+ flags isn’t really surprising (or in my opinion concerning). The rest of it, though, is pretty damning, especially the executive response to it all. While I agree with the laws (in my country, at least) that online platforms generally can’t be held responsible for what their users post, those executives should absolutely be held accountable for choosing money.
- Comment on Road rage victim in Arizona resurrected through AI to deliver his own impact statement 1 week ago:
I know ‘AI bad’ and all that, but this is actually a great use of it, in my opinion. It sounds like it was a positive experience for everyone involved, and it sounds like being able to separate herself from this victim statement helped her write it to be more genuinely in the spirit of what the deceased man would have said than she otherwise would have been able to, while also more cleanly separating her own, very opposite, feelings from it.
- Comment on On the prospect of an $80-$90 GTA 6, former PlayStation boss says 'it's an impossible equation' for big-budget studios to keep their prices down 1 week ago:
And also knock it off with the fucking microtransactions and shit. I wouldn’t mind games costing something appropriate for inflation if we were getting complete, high quality games without the expectation that we spend even more money afterwards. As it stands, they’re complaining about the low cost of games while also milking players for every penny they can on top of the purchase price. Fuck these guys.
- Comment on What would this list look like for your generation? 2 weeks ago:
Ohio being on the list is pretty funny (assuming this is in the US). Going to make geography and history classes awkward.
What grade is this, that Edging and Goon were common enough terms that they had to be included here?
“Animal noises” is very broad. Furry persecution. :(
The fact that they lose “LiveSchool points”, whatever those are, presumably for saying these words, is almost worse than the fact that they have this list at all. I don’t know what that system is or how it works, but I already hate it.
- Comment on Babe are you ok? You haven't touched your 2 weeks ago:
Price definitely seems high, but at least it’s a decent meal for kids. Nice variety of things; most places around where I live just have a tiny portion of a single dish as the kids’ options.
- Comment on 1994 white Kevin 3 weeks ago:
Especially if they’d help carry your bags and whatnot; that could be very helpful for someone who has mobility issues or just has a lot of things they need to bring. Well worth $7.50

- Comment on The Palworld dating sim was supposed to be a joke, but now it’s not 1 month ago:
I think the trailer and Steam page makes it pretty clear that this isn’t just aimed at furries. Not that furries won’t jump on it - we will, but it’s not just for furries.
- Comment on I was supposed to pick him up from preschool today? Whoops. 1 month ago:
Checks out, that’s about what a house cost in 1979.
- Comment on I was supposed to pick him up from preschool today? Whoops. 1 month ago:
$14.99 in 1979? Christ. You could just about buy a house for that.

It’s a hex placed on their family line in generations past, for some unknown sleight committed against a witch or something. They’re cursed to forever burn any food they try to cook.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Maybe the dad doesn’t know how to cook, either. It’s just a whole family tree of dads who can’t cook.

9/11/2001 is the date the simulation was turned on. Everything prior to that is just programmed memories and fabricated history.

Which sounds worse:
- From the late 1900s
- From last century

They’re very experienced at cherry picking, since they do it all the time. Therefore they’re able to do it better / faster than most.

“Why didn’t you share it with the rest of the family, you selfish little shit?”
- Comment on How do you feel about someone taking the coins people tossed into a fountain or other public waterworks display for "wishes?" 2 months ago:
I’d much rather someone who actually needs the money enough to pick up small change to take them than for them to just sit there. If someone’s desperate enough to fish coins out of a fountain for a few dollars, they can absolutely have them.

- Comment on Is it a red flag if a potential employer rushes you? 2 months ago:
It’s time sensitive - she needs someone to fill this position right now. If it’s so time sensitive, she might be willing to pay more than she normally would to get someone to do so.
