They knew what they were doing enough that they didn’t send that email in Germany, then their “apology” was weak and dodgy. I don’t feel good buying from them anymore either.
- Comment on Why do so many people regardless of whether their reasonings are justified or not pinpoint South Park for ruining a generation of millenials? 2 weeks ago:
That’s a very fair point. But even that level of “nuance” I think can be lost on an audience of many millions in a generation where a large proportion of kids make it to college without ever having read an entire adult-level book cover to cover.

This is exactly why I had to stop watching It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It’s brilliantly written satire most of the time, but I know people are getting the wrong ideas from it and laughing at truly despicable behavior that they’re going to emulate first for ironic humor, then eventually just because it’s hedonistically rewarding.
- Comment on "Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature? 2 weeks ago:
Except that you can draw whatever you want and it can be different each time in theory. Some may enforce consistency, but there’s no legal requirement of it.
- Comment on "Digital Signatures" just ask you to type your name into a box now. Am I right in thinking this almost-completely defeats the purpose of a signature? 2 weeks ago:
I was at a grocery store back when you had to sign the little digital screen for a card transaction and I finished signing, but the cashier got distracted and didn’t accept the signature for a while, so I just doodled Godzilla taking a skyscraper next to my name.
My best friend was there with me and from that day forward, I’m not sure if he’s ever signed something without adding a Batman logo after that day.
- Comment on is there any language that doesn't have four basic directions? 2 weeks ago:
Pretty much this, if I remember correctly. Because of this linguistic feature, they have an exceptionally well-developed sense of absolute direction and basically know at all times which way is which.
Bob fell out of the boat. Which side? The south side. Turn the boat 90° clockwise. He’s still off the south side of the boat.

Strangely I think this might have been altered to change the dog for some reason. I have an ancient version of this from eight years ago and I think in the one posted, the dog looks higher resolution than the rest.

IIRC, the shape of the jib sail indicated the origin of a sailing vessel, so it could show a friendly ship from a distance.

Bottom one looks like he just really enjoys the feel of doll hands on his face.

- Comment on Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition 4 weeks ago:
The only way this makes sense, and I guarantee he’s not advocating for this, would be to print and distribute so much money to the lower and middle classes that the upper class wealth is diluted and inequality is reduced. But the havoc that would wreak outside of the US is something I can’t even speculate on.
- Comment on If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone? 5 weeks ago:
To be completely honest, the magnets aren’t really strong enough to make me feel safe keeping it on my phone anyway. I just carry it naked with a screen protector, but there is a magnetic folding cover available too. It’s small enough and light enough that it actually probably takes a lot less damage from a fall than a phone that weighs 3x as much.

Less distraction, easier on the eyes, single-purpose and immediately jumps into your current book at your current spot.
I carry an XTEINK X3 with me at work so even the elevator ride can get me through a paragraph or two of whatever I’m reading. They go on sale often and both the X3 and X4 are under $100 at full price. You need to sideload your own EPUB files, but that’s never bothered me.
- Comment on What is the hate against Pit Bulls? Everyone I've met are super friendly like my BC. Or are they the new Doberman for this cycle? 5 weeks ago:
Completely agree that one shouldn’t take on an animal without knowing what to do, but no one has ignorance as an excuse in this day and age.
No beef with you having your own issues with pit bulls based on your personal experience, but I just hate the idea of an entire breed suffering just for being capable of damage.

You got reborn HARD, friend.

Sure, don’t mess with any kind of strange dog, but in my opinion that’s the owner’s fault. That idiot probably has firearms too.
- Comment on What is the hate against Pit Bulls? Everyone I've met are super friendly like my BC. Or are they the new Doberman for this cycle? 5 weeks ago:
Because sometimes pit bulls need rescuing. We picked one up wandering the side of the road who turned out to be the absolute sweetest and most loving creature we’ve ever known. We walked him and our other dog one morning and a little neighbor dog came running (stupidly) up to attack. Our other dog just spiked this dog’s face into the sidewalk and proceeded to fight back while the pibble just got excited about the new friend.

- Comment on How come they don't do a cooking show for poor or middle class people? Something that is under 10 bucks that will last a couple days and be great. 1 month ago:
There are like nine seasons of a show called Struggle Meals.
- Comment on Why do cooks and chefs cook in base 5 increments? For example setting the off at 350 , 375, 450 and so on. Is there a reason for this or is this how it always has been done? 1 month ago:
Because we have ten fingers.
There is no real reason we use base ten numbers except that we ran out of fingers at ten and used that as a “round” quantity. Five is a convenient half of ten (and one hand of fingers) for higher but not excessive precision. We could have developed a base eight numerical system if we had four fingers per hand and in that alternate reality, you’d be asking why cooks and chefs cook in base 4 increments.
- Comment on The red bull guy who jumped from space what was going on with his body when him and his suit broke the sound barrier? 1 month ago:
That would kill someone. Twice. I guarantee he did not go 150 -> 0 -> 250.

First glance I thought it was another photo of the reflecting pool.

I can explain. The kid ordered everything on theirs, the parent ordered nothing but meat, rice, sour cream, cheese, and extra victim complex.

- Comment on Sonic Game Recomendation? 1 month ago:
I don’t know. Haven’t played it. But I can say that it came after the recent major shift to enshittification across gaming, so I’m fine sticking with the tried and true.

My brief answer is 1, 2, Mania, & Sega All-Stars Racing Transformed. Very minimalist.

Ooh that’s a good one. I just wanted to make the joke about how horny the name is already.
