- Comment on Having different opinions in a nutshell 2 weeks ago:
There’s also the thread of dumping on a person for liking something because it is popular. “Boo! Basic opinion! You should like the weird niche stuff that I like because I fit into that extremely narrow niche!”
And I applaud the weird shit that isn’t for everyone, I think that’s where some of the stuff I love the most comes from, but sometimes there’s a very good reason that something is already widely beloved.

I love the idea that they’re having this conversation with Stormbreaker buried in Thanos’ chest.

You know, when people said “Modern games are like movies that you can play,” I don’t think they meant to emphasize the optional meaning of the word “can.”

I’m sad that David Bowie died without ever getting cast as The Dark Knight Returns-era Joker.

- Comment on Was Reagan's second term like Douche In Chief second term? Where it was finally revealed Regan had full alzheimers for the majority of his second? Were there signs the public saw something wrong? 1 month ago:
Which would suggest that Trump’s actual mental decline is far worse than his public presentation implies.

Broke: Memory units in optimistic numbers of megabytes and gigabytes.
Woke: Memory units in astronomically-high numbers of gigabytes and terabytes.
Bespoke: Memory units in totally incomprehensible units like kiloquads or exanodes.

- Comment on Celebratory Return to Online Meme 2 months ago:
The real trial is being this guy when other people decide they’re going to start a fire and by the time you get there they’ve done it all wrong and the thing is smouldering and coughing up smoke and barely staying lit at all as they cram handfuls of pine needles and barely dry leaves into places while there’s a full-ass log precariously balanced on top of it all and they’re saying things like “Maybe we should pour a little lamp oil on top of it?”
And then you have to be the adult and take over the whole operation.

- Comment on A new PlayStation controller patent showcases a controller with no physical buttons 2 months ago:
I can conceive of a controller with a surface like those pin art toys
with a membrane stretched over it so that you could reprogram the location and shape of the buttons at will and still have a tactile experience…
…but it would be needlessly complicated, expensive, almost certainly less functional than actual buttons, and more prone to failure. So, not really a meaningful or desirable improvement.

Hey, quick question: will Work™ eventually include the healthcare, housing, and free time to enjoy life benefits that we’ve all been hearing so much about?

- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 3 months ago:
By the general public and the world? Absolutely.
But you could make the argument that Presidents Lincoln, Garfield, and Kennedy were each more specifically hated by one particular person at a time.
- Comment on What's the weirdest thing in english? 3 months ago:
Adjectives in English absolutely have to be in this order: opinion-size-age-shape-colour-origin-material-purpose Noun. So you can have a lovely little old rectangular green French silver whittling knife. But if you mess with that word order in the slightest you’ll sound like a maniac.

Literally the same interaction between religion and reality as The Spirit Catches You And You Fall Down. Except without the language and cultural discontinuity.

It allows one to play 45 rpm records, which have a big hole in the middle, on the turntable most people had at home which was designed for 33 ⅓ rpm records, which have a small hole. The shape forms a gentle spring to create tension inside the 45.

Isn’t this basically what Archive of Our Own was founded for? They may focus on fan fiction, but it seems like one could start a conversation with the Organization for Transformative Works to add another wing for this sort of content.
