- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 1 week ago:
I knew a guy who did this with Comcast for every minute his Internet was out. He’d call them every day for weeks until they cut him an account credit
- Comment on The welcome mat is still out, don't like the visitors then take down the open sign 2 weeks ago:
That’s very ozymandias of the US
- Comment on TIL it's impossible to delete a free trial account for AppleTv+ or Apple Music without an Apple Device 3 weeks ago:
I did this a couple years ago so I could binge the dino doc. I think I needed to go to the Apple TV site on a desktop to get the subscription settings. It might have changed since then

These words are not accepted
- Comment on I don't think they understand. We're interviewing them too. 5 weeks ago:
I’m on the job hunt right now and I cannot stress enough how much I do not care what company leadership needs to tell themselves so they can sleep at night. All I need to know are the pay, the benefits, and if the job aligns with my interest

Ketchup chips are eternally associated in my mind with Jon Lajoie singing High as Fuck

Cortisol
- Comment on If Trump wins the election thru fraud how can the democrats refute it and prove they won? Or will it just be like another Jan 6 and four years of whining like Trump? 3 months ago:
I’ve been saying this exact same thing. Trump is a raging moron and I fear the intelligent demagogue that follows him more than I fear a second trump presidency (although a second trump term might guarantee the former)
- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 4 months ago:
I’ve got to check these recs out

I’ve never actually seen, just the references. Guess it’s worth a go

Where have you seen this? I’ve been looking for some stories like it
- Comment on DarkPattern.games - a website that rates mobile games for their "dark patterns" 4 months ago:
Exactly. I’m not blaming Google entirely, though I do condemn them for being an example of what emerges from a system who’s only incentive is maximum profit.

Cool cool cool. The dark games list is basically all the play store recommendations

Okay?
- Comment on Sorrows you could not comprehend 5 months ago:
In high school math class we got paired up for a worksheet and instead of doing any math we spent the hour listing the first 150 Pokemon in numerical order. Been chasing that high ever since

Sorry, I’m not going to participate if you’re going to be abusive.
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 5 months ago:
Then why are you trying so hard to explain yourself?
- Comment on Maybe this is better for everyone 5 months ago:
This is precisely the circlejerking mentioned in the meme. Whether true or not, the community presents itself as unwelcoming and self-aggrandizing. These are not traits that easily convince people to listen to the cause.
- Comment on Thousands are playing Valve's unrevealed shooter Deadlock, a blend of Team Fortress 2 and Dota with Bioshocky skyrails 6 months ago:
Agreed. But also, it’s a good way to communicate complex ideas quickly like Darmak and Jalaad. And many novel ideas come from “What if (blank) did (thing) but differently?” Like a huge portion of art history is just artists doing something another artist did in a different way.
- Comment on Sexual dimorphism 6 months ago:
Pretty sure Kars would only have sex with his own reflection, if he wasn’t a stone cold lady killer

Guilty as charged. I’ve played hundreds of hours of souls games and all I know about the lore is that souls are money
- Comment on Shitpost 8 months ago:
Ooo, thinking about putting graphene on this phone.
But reading between the lines, it kind of seems like commercial adware has pretty much drowned out most of the visible malware
- Comment on Shitpost 8 months ago:
Now that I’m thinking about the good old days of virus pop-ups and limewire cancers, has the presence of malware changed that much? Or it is less visible due to mobile architecture and pop-up blockers?
