- Comment on Selling as is. 2 days ago:
16yo car, looks like shit because of a wrap that should’ve been taken off ages ago, scratches, curbrash etc. Got people asking me to sell it to them, leaving me notes behind the wipers, even freaking couriers asking while delivering a package. I could get like $3k more than what I paid for it.
You just gotta buy a roughly sports-car-ish cult classic / a car everyone wanted but is affordable now, and keep it when people want to buy cars (i.e. after covid). Shame, cause I promised myself / the car that it dies with me, either wrapped around a tree, or in a junkyard when its engine blows / it isn’t worth it to replace the broken parts.
- Comment on Newbury: Firearms seized from suspected gun factory - BBC News 2 days ago:
More like they seized deactivated firearms, or the dude actually was deactivating them himself. This sounds like someone with a hobby doing something on the side and not having a license to do it.
- Comment on how do I become the dullest, most boring coworker so this needy man leaves me alone? 2 days ago:
Nobody here noticed the tinny little fact that you seem to be a woman. One that works out and attracts attention (i.e. your story about a dude eyeing you in the park). The coworker might simply find you attractive.
- Comment on TW: suicide 3 days ago:
A .22lr is really weak compared to even a pistol round. He could absolutely get shot by it from a distance and stop it with his skull. Hell, I have incredibly thin glasses that are capable of stopping that. Re: topic, You are also forgetting that there are gasses comming off of the pistol that are enough to kill you, even without the bullet. Sadly it’s a story that happens way too often - someone wants to play a joke on someone else, loads blanks, shoots someone from close distance and actually kills them. Rifle blanks have an even more ridiculous lethal range - like 5m. Firearms / firearm safety is no joke.

Go military, buy a laryngophone. Now you can whisper and they’ll hear you crystal clear

The average person doesn’t like the idea of a revolution, they want to live their lives peacefully and not be a murderer.
- Comment on Is it ethical for a parent to distribute inheritance based on the child(ren)'s mental capacity (aka refusing to give an inheritance to child(ren) with reduced mental capacity)? 3 days ago:
It being “ethical” and it being “okay” are two seperate things. Ethics is mostly subjective. Most people would say it is unethical though. It isn’t illegal, you have the right to divide your assets as you wish, so that would make it “okay”.
Differentiating based on mental illness and your perceived value of a person based on their mental health struggles is plain wrong and not based in reality, unless said person is at a point of needing a caretaker to get by. Especially since a bunch of illnesses are hereditary. Stuff like ADHD can manifest in different ways. My brother is both hyperactive and has attention deficit. I only have the attention deficit part. Both of us lead normal lives. Our parents dividing assets based on the fact that he has it worse on that front, and giving more to me, would be plain wrong and nonsensical. Especially since I’m absolutely shit with money, and he isn’t.

You can still help him do those things even if the house is his… Like, if he doesn’t have the house in his name, you can kick him out if you are a dick and there is nothing protecting him. If the house is his, you cannot do that, “best” you could do is stop helping out with the bills and such.
- Comment on Is it time to start a campaign against kernel-level anticheat? 5 days ago:
So now you try to convince the 99% of players that are buying the bad practices, that a magic (to them) program that prevents cheaters is bad (since “has too much access” doesn’t really explain anything). They don’t care and won’t care.
- Comment on Employees at FromSoftware owner Kadokawa reportedly "thrilled" about possible Sony takeover 1 week ago:
I’m not jesting, I know they will do it. Bloodborne is a literal goldmine. They could’ve ported to PC and swam in money. By now it’s probably too late to do that, most of the hype went away. But a Bloodborne 2? Yah.
- Comment on Employees at FromSoftware owner Kadokawa reportedly "thrilled" about possible Sony takeover 1 week ago:
They buy it, make Bloodborne 2 and make it a PS exclusive, then disolve the company entirely as a giant “fuck you” to PC players.

He got shit on for being inaccurate, not the sexual stuff. She was a keeper and he fucked up bad on someone who automatically gets a ring. Shame.
- Comment on Mitochondria 1 week ago:
I hear so many weird ass things from people in the US. Plenty of “why were we taught this and that” as if learning the countries in Europe is somehow some esoteric knowledge. And then I remember having to learn all the countries in the world, all of the US states, all of the capitals for 90% of the countries, all the seas, rivers etc. It’s really funny seeing people complain about the tiniest of things they had to learn as if it was med school.
- Comment on TRIBES: The Most Influential FPS You (Probably) Never Played [video essay 52:59] 1 week ago:
There is a new Tribes game, called Rivals. Was fun for free in early access, but they put a large price tag on it so no idea about it now.

Also the vulcan nerve pinch doesn’t work. It was invented by Nimoy because he didn’t want to punch a guy.
- Comment on Anon holds her bf 1 week ago:
I wouldn’t call it that. In the end, you aren’t responsible for what you like or dislike. And once you find someones “ick” that you can’t deal with, it’s hard to get over it. I have a bunch of those - racism, unwilingness to learn, regular smoking. Theirs was just “man crying”. Also, there is crying and then there is holding in emotions and exploding. Sadly, I’m guilty of the latter. I don’t really blame them, rather I feel disappointed more than anything.
- Comment on Anon holds her bf 1 week ago:
Yeah, but that’d be living a lie and hiding your emotions. Which is less healthy than being single. Meeting someone that likes you is something that can be done conciously rather easily with the right steps - but it does require a strong will, a lot of human interaction and a bunch of time. It also requires investing in yourself - living healthy, happy and mindful.
- Comment on Anon holds her bf 1 week ago:
I lost a partner doing that. Like flipping a switch, any interest in me was gone. Was struggling with depression, we knew eachother for a very long time, even dated in the past. Oh well.

:.|:; - Comment on Anon goes to the doctor 2 weeks ago:
Well, a psychiatrist or a therapist isn’t there to be combative. They are there to make you feel better. If you believe the medication won’t work and you don’t do anything with it, you actually won’t see any difference - even if it actually helps you, you will think “I just had a better day, it’s all”. SSRIs sadly aren’t magic happy pills, but they do help if you let them, provided you don’t have treatment resistant depression (which could also mean you have something else, for which SSRIs aren’t the full solution, at least that was the case for me).
Not a doctor, just an idiot that went through all of it and trying to cope with ADHD. Medicated of course.
- Comment on Star Citizen players after giving Chris Roberts a month’s pay for a 400-meter Liberator-class carrier by Shitfuck Industries 2 weeks ago:
I look from the inside, I backed them on kickstarter. Two words are needed to disprove your claims - concierge status.
- Comment on Star Citizen players after giving Chris Roberts a month’s pay for a 400-meter Liberator-class carrier by Shitfuck Industries 2 weeks ago:
Want to get disappointed in them even more? Google “concierge” status. Tldr is if you spend $1000 you get access to a second “store” that has more expensive packages, some going for $40000 or more. Some of the more expensive packages are only available if you spend $10000 or more already and get the “wing commander” level.
It’s literally a “I’m a whale” sticker that unlocks shit to buy for ridiculous amounts of money. Gaming journalists don’t know about it because you need to spend a ridiculous amount of money on it already, so nobody covers that bullshit.

They have a rival it’s called source 2. That’s what CS, Dota and hl:Alyx used.
- Comment on Critical Role's plans to make a videogame have become an 'active pursuit', says CEO Travis Willingham, after almost 10 years of growing a D&D campaign into a full-on franchise 2 weeks ago:
That’s exactly how they framed it. They cited reasons as worker burnout and Hasbro / the game system. They wanted to be done with BG3. Studios don’t really announce that the second they finish the game.

They literally have been connected to video games development their entire career. They are voice actors. They do that shit all the time.
- Comment on I live in the green part 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t mean extravagant, it means “a lot of food to eat”. I know how to cook. The intuition of how much I need to cook comes with more experience, but it means I’d need to go through months of me cooking too much and either throwing it away, or eating the same thing for a long time. When you cook for two or more, the dishes just disappear. You can skip a day, your partner will eat it though. So then you do, and suddenly four days worth of meals are gone.
