If I showed up to a date and that was waiting for me, you can bet I’m going on that date without complaint. If nothing else, I’d have a hell of a story to tell.

Need for Speed In the Ass
A movie about one man’s quest to boof his drug of choice.
- Comment on Why are more games adopting parrying? 3 days ago:
Building a game around parries is boring AF though.
Counterpoint: Sekiro is a great example of a game where parrying is a central, necessary-to-learn mechanic but that does it quite well, in my opinion.

No, but I have the time to listen to you whine about nothing and everything all at once, granted, of course, that you’re one of those melodramatic fools, neurotic to the bone. No doubt about it.

- Comment on Cool Bug Fact #47 2 weeks ago:
Okay, well, I’m not going to argue with you. Point is, you should believe whatever’s most comforting for you to believe, especially in accordance with your statement that no outcome is more or less likely. Since all outcomes are equally likely, there’s no use in worrying about it at all. Whatever happens, happens, and all worrying about it now does is make the time before you die less enjoyable.
- Comment on Cool Bug Fact #47 2 weeks ago:
Nobody knows for sure. However, what we do know for sure is that we’re all going to die some day, and scientific analysis lends more credence to nothing than eternal terror. So why would you worry about it? Assume the more likely, and more desirable outcome, rather than spending your days fearing a remote possibility.

Pretty sure the activity is “See if we could kill each other with a knife [if we had a knife]”, not “Maybe actually kill each other with a knife”.

I assume you know this and are referencing it sarcastically, but just in case you don’t: That was not the original text in the anti-piracy PSA; it was a third party edit making fun of the original PSA that is now widely mistaken as being the original text. The original text was “You wouldn’t steal a car”, not “You wouldn’t download a car”.
- Comment on Why can't normal bank or multi-currency cards alone bypass BIN on these digital storefronts? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it’s the only reason, but one reason is that prices are often different in different regions for the same product, due to exchange rates - an item in a country with a weak currency sold at US prices would be unaffordable by the majority of people, for instance. If they allowed you to just choose a region and make a purchase, people would just buy from whatever region had the most preferential pricing… This used to happen all the time with Steam. So they require proof that you actually live in that region to get that region’s pricing. It’s sometimes inconvenient for legitimate use cases, but it’s the simplest way to get around the exploitative behavior.

If you watched Gattaca and thought, “This is a good blueprint for the future”, you missed the point the movie was making.

I haven’t tried the vibe coded suite, so I can only speak from what I’ve read, but my understanding is that it’s attempting feature and control parity with Adobe’s suite, which none of the other options have or try to have. If someone who’s used to Adobe can make the switch without having to functionally learn new software, it’ll be a lot easier to get people to actually do it.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
Sure, and if the momentum and publicity this has generated is the catalyst that gets people to do it, then great. Good outcome in the end.
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
With regards to this specific project, I think the best case scenario would be a bunch of developers taking the code and using it as a starting point, going through it with a fine-toothed comb and re-writing however much needs to be re-written. There’s never been a viable competitor to Adobe’s suite, and if this results in that, then we can at least applaud the outcome if not the methodology.

I’d eat it. Hopefully llama isn’t the only outcome but I’d roll the dice.

Geez, I’d take that deal regardless of which lizard. There’s some that’re better than others, but fuck, that’s a dream regardless! :)

- Comment on Minimum Wage Must Cover Basics 4 weeks ago:
Low-wage jobs are just exploiting desperate people. If the cost of living were more reasonable, it wouldn’t be an issue - it doesn’t need to be an ice cream shop paying $40 / hr, it needs to be housing and necessities being cost-limited or subsidized. Subsidies for necessities and increased taxes on luxuries would help.
- Comment on Minimum Wage Must Cover Basics 4 weeks ago:
A lot of jobs only exist because we need people to be working. There’s no societal need for a door greeter. If your ice cream shop doesn’t generate enough revenue to pay someone working there a living wage, it isn’t a viable business, or your prices are too low.
You mention UBI and really, that’s the answer, but without it, everyone needs to work to survive and when there isn’t enough work that needs doing, we invent bullshit work just to say we’re employing someone.

Oh god that would burn so badly.
- Comment on Minimum Wage Must Cover Basics 4 weeks ago:
If there’s work that needs doing, that work should pay a living wage. If it doesn’t, yes, it shouldn’t exist. Raise prices until it can support those workers, and if people won’t buy it at that price, get rid of it. Otherwise, the argument you’re making is that someone needs to do this work, but that person should be destitute.

Yeah, I could honestly watch 3 hours of Rocket just being Rocket and be perfectly happy with the time spent.

Yeah, if OP watched Guardians 1-2, and then skipped 3, they really missed out.
- Comment on Here's one thing we can all agree on 4 weeks ago:
Assuming you’re serious, which I’m not entirely sure you are, S being above A originally had Japanese origins where the character it represents means ‘Excellent’, and on English lists it typically means ‘Superlative’ (or any similar word starting with S, like Superb or Super). This is not a new thing.
Regardless, this is an S+ tier ragebait shitpost and clearly it’s having its desired effect.

- Comment on Philosophy Question Time 5 weeks ago:
I agree with you, but this also raises an interesting question. Personally, I wouldn’t consider it a consent issue if someone sent the usual “two circles and an oval” ‘dick’ drawing, or an eggplant emoji… Rude and crass, maybe, but not any more of a consent issue than sending any other non-sexual unsolicited pic would be, which suggests that there’s a level of caricature and lack of fidelity in which it’s okay… I wonder where that line is?
