Why would you post this three days after the fix went out?
- Comment on What even is money at this point 1 week ago:
Amazon is far more efficient. The store has to move the thing there, put it on a shelf. Keep the lights on. Keep the store clean and staffed.
Amazon uses algorithms to distribute a few of those items to some mega wearhouse near you. It gets picked up by someone also picking up a dozen other things. And the cost of delivery is not the whole distance, your cost is just the last delivery location to yours, and those routes are plotted algorithmically to be as effecient as possible.
You driving to the store burning that much gas and wearing your tires the whole round trip, just for the one thing makes it further inefficient.
Stores literally only make sense if you want to try the thing out, for fresh local food, or for a bulk trip like Costco, where its more of a wearhouse than a store, and you pack you car so full you’re basically acting as the Amazon delivery driver. That’s why stores like CVS and Walgreens are closing all over, it simply makes no economic sense anymore.

Same with all of Europe and Asia. “You can only eat food from the original neolithic people”. See how stupid you sound.

I’m not sure that’s the rules, in that case you can get anything from America.
- Comment on Dinner is ready! 1 week ago:
There’s also some Morocco, Spain and Portugal in there.
I mostly agree, on American Southern and Mexican alone.
D is tempting though, I love all Asian food. The variety from Middle Eastern, Indian, Vietnamese, Thai, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. I might have just convinced myself to go D while I was writing this actually…

You realize nobody is making you play the game?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
If it’s not challenging, why are you complaining?
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
Because if you can’t make it through the denizens, you can’t make it through the boss. It’s a filter.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
Why? If you can’t get through that, you aren’t going to beat the boss.
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Sparks Debate About Difficulty and Boss Runbacks 3 weeks ago:
Hot take here, but I don’t mind them. Exactly because they take focus. They tell me when it’s time for a break. If I’m not up for the runback, then I’m not up for aother attempt at the boss.

If the business is going belly up, chances are all the employees knew months before it was “announced”.

Exactly, it’s entirely because the people in front of you are going slow.

- Comment on Has a woman ever orgasmed by subwoofer? 5 weeks ago:
Absolutely, yes. I dated a girl for years that would orgasm when the wind blew. Not quite, but you get the point
When she was bored she could squeeze her thighs together and make herself cum. She couldn’t ride a bike, her eyes would would roll back and she’d almost crash. She would spontaneously orgasm simply from arousal, which was fun because she’s orgasm repeatedly while giving blowjobs. She would absolutely orgasm from the vibrations of a large woofer.

Not even close. 4 drink base-line does not need to be medically managed. Two day sweat out and you’re reset. You could even have 2 beers the second night and still reset to 0 within the two days.
You don’t hit medically managed territory till your at a bottle or liquor everyday for more than a few days territory.

- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 2 months ago:
I have 2. I absolutely love it. I prefer it for playing 3rd person games like the witcher and monster hunter too. I like the granular control and momentum for panning around the world.
I bought the second one for $5 when valve was doing the discontinuation liquidation sale. Someone commented that the Vive wands use the same track pads and other parts, so it’s a no brainer to buy one to have the parts on hand. At this point the Vive wands are extra parts for keeping my steam controllers going.

- Comment on All downhill from there 2 months ago:
I was playing tag with my kid yesterday. He’s 3, almost 4. He’s very fast for his age, but not as fast as me. He asked to play tag because he just learned it in school. I could dodge to the side as he was getting close and change direction. I could fake him out. I could sprint to the other side of our 1 acre meadow to creat space. But he just kept coming. Smiling and laughing the whole time. I’m starting to get winded. Hands on my knees for a second after a sprint, but only for a second as he’s closed the gap already. His undeterred motivation and pace was scary. He was going to get me eventually, and he seemed to know it.
I now know how the victims of Chucky must have felt.
