- Comment on Anon plays DnD 4 days ago:
This implies he either burned 25 pounds (assuming 5 pounds of water weight) in a single night or he had 25 pounds of crap in his digestive track, so I’m inclined to believe that anon is full of shit.
- Comment on Anon hates C++ 1 week ago:
I love C++ as a god defying monument of backward compatibility. You can go through the versions like an archeologist looking through layers of rock to see what trends of that time. There’s not only one way to do the thing you want, but several, too many ways, and no one can stop you from frankensteining pieces together that were never meant to be.
If C is meant to be a basic toolbox, C++ is your dad’s disorganized tool cabinet he keeps in the garage. Overflowing with barely used, highly specific, and redundant tools.
- Comment on Anon's mom has questions 1 week ago:
I just thought of something, what if a greentext admits to being gay?
Would it be fake and straight or real and gay?
It’s a paradox.

I was shaking my head at the Helen Keller - Amelia Earhart confusion until I double checked something.
I was getting Helen Keller confused with Anne Frank…

I never wondered why the map sea monsters were placed in the locations that they were placed in.
I am now wondering why the map sea monsters were placed in the locations that they were placed in.
- Comment on Anon plays an RPG 2 weeks ago:
Game designers, and I’m including tabletop rpgs, love having status effects that freeze, paralyzed, or do a percentage of health of damage; but they always neglect the fact that they’re ineffective against hordes of weak enemies and are overpowered against strong solo enemies.
Really wish they would have more foresight than to just make it have zero effect on bosses. I’d be satisfied with it applying a weakened effect instead of being outright immune.

If I was that brand, I would make an over the top commercial of someone using it to fend off a carjacker, then at the end hit them with a “Based on a true story”.

I nominate Mii Channel Theme Flute Cover (Wii) for the graduation song.

“Hello! but I’m going to be worse than you” Pours gasoline, lights him on fire, then starts throwing wooden sticks hard enough to impale him

Or if it’s made with Grok then it’s a Nazi pedo AI.
- Comment on Tomorrow... 4 weeks ago:
Still works as there’re plenty of mathematicians that would love for people to acknowledge the infinite zeros preceding each number.
The real problem in this case is if you write september as 09.
- Comment on Anon's grandpa had hands 4 weeks ago:
There’s the question of when taking from the dead goes from grave robbing to archeology, but no matter the length of time it’s always looting!
- Comment on the tech billionaires have lost the plot 4 weeks ago:
Oh god, billionaires have been experiencing AI psychosis before AI, that’s why they don’t see any issue with it.
- Comment on great to know! 4 weeks ago:
I think of all the unified tech ecosystems, Apple is hands down the best but Google is still the best non-Apple option. The only other option I think is Microsoft, and I would rather drown in burning gasoline than go back to anything Microsoft touches.
Obviously the best option is to host your own stuff through open source, which I am doing, but it’s taking time, it’s a lot of work to keep up with. Google gives me a bunch of barely passable tools accessible from anything with an internet connection.
I did degoogle for browser and search though. Firefox and Kagi makes the internet almost tolerable.

Maybe we could push public healthcare if we rephrase it as subsidizing companies, might as well try right?
- Comment on Contrast 5 weeks ago:
Love that it’s in the “Health” category.
- Comment on Anon steams up the sauna 5 weeks ago:
I didn’t know about the no speaking rules in Saunas. I would think that should be a sign but there easily could have been and anon didn’t read.
It would already be creepy if the first thing he asked was where she lived; however the line “Well I decided to talk to her and ask where she’s from” can imply that he spoke, got no response, then kept yapping.
Furthermore, the fact he’s complaining about how what he did was not “really that bad” without acknowledging he broke a rule, tells me that he knew what he was doing but decided to break that rule because he’s not “really that bad”.
All that said, I’d probably break that rule to crack a one-liner like the reply, because dumb jokes are my favorite.

When the draft hits but I’m trans.
- Comment on You haven't seen enough trans Spider-Woman memes 1 month ago:
So there’s a lot of posts or art that try to reframe villians as being pro-trans, usually to the effect of “we’re not that messed up” even when it’s entirely possible that they would be that messed up.
So I really appreciate that Sauron doesn’t make an exception for trans people here. “Transition? Sure, how about you transition into the Mesozoic Era Spiderman!!”
- Comment on Anon doesn't have a plan 1 month ago:
While the time from child to mid twenties is definitely the parent’s fault, after that point you can try every trick in the book it won’t achieve a thing. Once someone masters weaponized incompetence they basically need a life or death wake-up call to do anything about it, and even then they might still not learn anything.
No one’s literally impossible to reform, but many people cross a point that requires a practically impossible amount of investment to reform.

And somehow Chile didn’t lose any of its coastline.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
When current theories say the universe is infinite they also mean an even distribution of matter in that infinite space.
And for something like the big bang, when theories say that the universe originated from a singularity they actually mean the infinite sized universe had infinite density at one instance, not that it literally came from one single point.
So there is technically infinite energy in the universe, but all that infinite energy is still experiencing entropy at on average the same rate.

Undertale is this but it’s not focused on too heavily unless you play multiple routes.
Deltarune I think has this kind of plot with the protagonist having an antagonist relationship to the player controlling them, but it’s more focused on player-made choices instead of save mechanics.
I would also like to nominate In Stars and Time, which is about timeloops and is very meta but not in the fourth wall breaking way.

- Comment on Disc drive needed 2 months ago:
Circa 2017, I build my first desktop computer, I get the cheapest disc drive money can buy. Since then I’ve used it to burn one(1) CD. Any software disc I’ve tried using with it was too broken and out of date, leading me to download the driver instead.
I’ve tried using a friend’s game disc on it, assuring them that Wine for Linux supports 16-bit Windows games. Turns out they dropped that support months prior.
It now stands its silent vigil, waiting for its purpose to be truly fulfilled.

On one hand, a person should be comfortable to assert their boundaries and to know that it doesn’t make them less respectable.
