- Comment on Do PhDs HAVE to use Dr? 1 day ago:
I had a philosophy prof who said the title depends on the setting. If he were speaking at a conference, it’s Dr. If he was teaching at a school, it’s Professor.
If you’re in a setting where those titles aren’t relevant, don’t use them.
- Comment on Why are peole hating on .world? 2 weeks ago:
There’s a “civility” rule that frowns upon accurately identifying given users as belonging to certain groups
- Comment on Are there Cozy shooter games? 2 weeks ago:
I felt the first Mass Effect was cozier than the sequels, though I never finished the sequels.
- Comment on Nintendo's lawsuit against Palworld isn't just bad for the industry, it's bad for Nintendo 4 weeks ago:
“Catch creatures to use” is a broad enough theme that it should be fair use, and has other precedent. For example, it was done in Bomberman Generation. Why didn’t Nintendo sue Konami?
- Comment on Why do I feel sick every time I go out to eat with my gf? 4 weeks ago:
Maybe there’s something you need to get off your chest. Maybe you feel like you’re not being true to yourself.
If you feel like something needs to change in your relationship, better to put it out there and work through it than keep it hidden.
- Comment on Would it be weird if I took something my neighbor put out for trash? 5 weeks ago:
Lol
- Comment on Why do phone manufacturers use in-display fingerprint readers instead of fingerprint readers on the power button? 5 weeks ago:
No more than the cutout for the camera does. Similar construction.
- Comment on What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game? 5 weeks ago:
2 is the only one I completed.
- Comment on What jobs in the US (Kentucky) Allow employees to wear whatever you want? 1 month ago:
If you make more than you need, you must have an impressive work history, yeah?
- Comment on How do you set up wake up alarm and not miss it ? 1 month ago:
I set 3 alarms. If 3 wasn’t enough, I’d set 4.
Etc.
- Comment on Is this a triangle? 1 month ago:
It doesn’t matter that the edges are curved?
- Comment on What started “weirdo” as a slur just recently? 1 month ago:
-
Republicans are morons
-
Republicans are anti-intellectual
-
Using sophisticated language to critique republicans shows them you’re not one of them, and they can write you off as a member of the out-group in their minds
-
The word weird doesn’t trigger the anti-intellectual alarms, so their defenses don’t shoot up, and they’re left scrambling for a retort, feeling awkward as they are now a member of their own out-group

- Comment on Why is waking up when my alarm goes off so difficult and unpleasant yet "sleeping in" does feel good and isn't satisfying? 1 month ago:
My most pleasant waking up experiences (in terms of my own body, not who was with me) were when I worked nights, and woke up around 4-4:30 pm.
On a day shift schedule I often feel too warm when I go to bed, and too cold when I wake up. When I worked nights, the cool mornings and the warm afternoons canceled both of those out and felt great.
As such, I only needed 6 hrs sleep when I worked nights. Now I feel groggy unless I get 8.
- Comment on How do I alleviate bitterness due to lack of intimacy? 1 month ago:
Is your region particularly conservative?
I’ve heard more right-leaning people associate largeness with masculinity. Being in ablue state, I hear a lot of women talk about liking skinny guys.
But then again, the same people who say that can find bigger guys they like too. Sooo size probably isn’t the main factor here.
- Comment on What are your opionions on fortnite? 1 month ago:
The graphical shortcomings might have something to do with there being 100 players in the match at once.
This chapter/season added jetpacks, which are very fun.
- Comment on Why 🤷♂️ do users 👨💻 dislike 👎 the use ✅ of emojis 😀 on Lemmy 🐭? 1 month ago:
I see emojis as text’s substitute for body language. Body language is supposed to supplement the spoken word. Emojis should supplement the paragraph.
Trying to communicate with more emojis than text is akin to trying to communicate with more body language than spoken word.
Ever try to say something but forget the word, and you try to convey the meaning with body lamguage instead? Overuse of emojis implies a similar lapse of thought.

It’s the same game though
- Comment on Recommendation engine: Downvote any game you've heard of before 2 months ago:
Spear of Destiny or Rise of the Triad would have been better picks

Heard of that one a few times
- Comment on How do you join a different instance? 2 months ago:
Mtgzone asks you to name your favorite Magic card and explain why. So, the AI would need to understand all that, know the name of a Magic card, and say what’s good about it.
- Comment on I'm not a good liar but need to pretend I like my current job and not rant about how much I dislike it till I find a job I like more. How do I make my coworkers and supervisors believe this lie? 2 months ago:
Performance improvement plan. Documentation showing management was dissatisfied before they fire you.
- Comment on Can anyone suggest some good co-op games for two people? 2 months ago:
If you’re open to silly casual games, Untitled Goose Game
Also, I heard Cult of the Lamb was getting a co-op update
- Comment on I feel like a flashbang went off in my head, so the only question that I can think of is, "What now?" (Details in body.) 2 months ago:
Being non-monog myself, my instinct is to tell you to try non-monogamy. But obvs I have no idea how she would react to that suggestion.

What did CoD 4 introduce that Halo 3 hadn’t already done 2 months prior?
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 2 months ago:
If you want to talk about “how do I get up there” in a 3d environment, Doom did it before TR.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Low effort? OP doesn’t say anything about what they dislike.
- Comment on Why do radio stations all seem to go on commercial at the same time? 2 months ago:
They don’t though.
It’s just that the stations still playing “music” are playing shit.
