  Not everything is for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Does your Aunt get paid rent from the people living in those houses? Is that rent more than it costs to own and maintain the properties? Yeah, thought so. Yes, your aunt is a parasite. She is extracting profit from other people simply by virtue of being the one to own the property that she doesn’t live in. She isn’t providing value, she’s restricting access.

  She may be a lovely lady the rest of the time, I’m sure she lives a vibrant and full life elsewhere, but that doesn’t change what she’s doing. Nobody owns “a couple of houses as an investment” if they’re not making money off of them, and they’re only making money by extracting it from the people who have to rent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of those cases just begging for Jury Nullification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A tense moment.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do the right thing and insist that it be called Ligma.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Guys, what did you buy during the Steam autumn sale?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Did you like the first one? This is just… a little more of that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wait, my body's own heat is enough? Always has been.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Must be nice living somewhere where you don’t even know that pipes can freeze.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because they’ve been fooled into thinking it will either benefit them, or benefit people they feel “deserve it.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Goodwill is out of control⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No, Salvation Army can get fucked. You couldn’t pay me to shop there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archons doubles the chaos of Vampire Survivors by giving you two characters to control at once⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but “The chaos” wasn’t what made Vampire Survivors so good, and having to control two characters in “double the chaos” just sounds like a headache.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why am I seeing "plan your voting day strategy" so often?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because certain people with power find it advantageous to make it difficult for the people in certain areas to vote. If you know that district isn’t going to vote for you, and morality is a thing that happens to other people, you could make the polling place too small with too few workers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Explain why the US bail system is not insane⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not Insane, it’s just wrong. People who can’t afford bail can generally get a bail bond, which will front the cost in exchange for the defendant paying about 10% IIRC. The thinking is that people who aren’t considered a flight risk, and aren’t a risk to the community, shouldn’t be imprisoned until there’s a guilty verdict, and putting money on the line that they lose if they don’t show up to court will encourage them to show up.

  On the surface, it’s not an insane thought. It’s just… wrong. It just doesn’t really work. In practice it really does just disproportionately punish those who are already suffering, while also making it possible for the wealthy to further escape any consequences.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My opinion is only that I’m not going to get attached, guy’s probably not going to be here long. That’s all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kids a genius⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How are you gonna murder one joke by explaining it, while trying to murder a second joke?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure it’s fine, right guys? Guys? This is the AAAA company, it’ll be great right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For my part, I don’t have all of my fingers scanned into the reader (Which is on the power button), so it’s easy to just use a different finger in the event that I want to access my lock screen specifically.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Make this thread look like it's your first day on the internet⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  LOL I CANT BELIEB HOW DUM U ALL R LOL

  BRB UR MOM IS CALLING ME AGAIN LOL

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is "disk" just a different spelling of "disc" or are they actually different words?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Disk is for things that are more kiki, but disc, with that rounded off c, is for things that are more bouba.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Randy Pitchford releases the most valuable shift code ever at PAX.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And they should. They want us to remember the games, to look forward to 4, and completely forget there was ever a movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars: Outlaws being a "AAAA Game" for 3 minutes⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  With any luck they’ll single handedly keep “AAAA” from catching on, because nobody with a shred of pride would want their multi-million dollar project connected to anything that was said to be AAAA.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are LLMs capable of writing *good* code?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically it’s possible, but it’s neither probable nor likely, and it’s especially not effective. From what I understand, a lot of devs who do try to use something like ChatGPT to write code end up spending as much or more time debugging it, and just generally trying to get it to work, than they would have if they’d just written it themselves. Additionally, you have to know how to code to be able to figure out why it’s not working, and even when all of that is done, it’s almost impossible to get it to integrate with a larger project without just rewriting the whole thing anyway.

  So to answer the question you intend to ask, no, LLMs will not be replacing programmers any time soon. They may serve as a tool of dubious value, but the idea that programmers will be replaced is only taken seriously by by people who manage programmers, and not the programmers themselves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars Outlaws: Reviews are coming in⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m surprised to see generally positive reviews given just how entirely Mid the previews all looked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Excretion-related thermodynamics⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Excretion does remove thermal energy from the body, but it also removes mass, and as a result your heat to mass ratio doesn’t change in any meaningful way.

  “Keeping it in” would technically make your body temperature slower to change (Up or down) because there is slightly more mass to heat or cool. Excreting would technically make your body temperature slightly more susceptible to change, again because there is less mass to heat or cool. But really, those changes are inconsequential.

  The actual cooling would occur on intake, not excretion. When you drink cold water, your body heat will dissipate into that water until the temperatures match, resulting in a slight reduction in temperature.

  So in summary, excretion itself does nothing to cool you down, even though it’s taking thermal energy away, but the entire cycle of drinking cold water, heating it in the body, and then excreting it would reduce body temperature ever so slightly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So if they credited you the $0.19 would you feel better? That’s what 9 hours at $15 a month works out to. 19 cents. Are you actually throwing this big a fit over 19 cents? That’s already rounded up by the way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Watched The Borderlands Movie So You Don't Have To⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Be strong and don’t watch it. It will genuinely damage your appreciation of the games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we put up with this crap?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You COULD be paying for first class seats and getting that kind of treatment, but you’re flying Economy, aren’t you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do we put up with this crap?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I for one can only complain about one problem at a time. If something’s not the biggest problem in my life, I’m incapable of addressing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Earth Defense Force 6 players on Steam will only need to sign into Epic once, say publishers in apology for "lack of advance notice"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is what happens when someone who says “There’s no such thing as bad publicity” sees what happened with Helldivers 2 and the PSN account disaster.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nephew Says Trump Suggested Some Disabled People ‘Should Just Die’ | In a new memoir, Fred C. Trump III claims his uncle, Donald J. Trump, made cruel and racist comments.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Trump said something horrible and racist? Surely this changes everything! ~/s~

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm terrified of the Netherlands now⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If it makes you feel any better, you’re a mutant freak no matter where you go, but some societies will be better at making you feel accepted.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you rank sums of single-digit numbers ?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  3+5=8 is B tier at best, and probably lower. 3+5=8 is just such trash most of the time, with the sole exceptions of those rare cases where it comes in clutch being the only thing that saves it from the actual dumpster.
