  I remember seeing videos of people licking ice cream and putting the lid back on. I’m so glad I never ran into one of them in real life.

  Must be nice living in a world where population dynamics and physics don’t exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨German man says american are savages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Berlin is larger (892km^2 vs 783km^2) and less population dense (6 million vs 20 million in the matro areas). So… Kinda comparing apples to oranges.

  I’ve got nipples, Greg, can you milk me?

  Something something trickle down

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨(Slay the Spire 2) If they replace this placeholder art, I will be upset.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I kinda wish this was a reward for the early purchasers. Buy the EA release and you get free DLC at launch that gives you the option to use placeholder art or new art. Hades II had some great placeholder art and it’s all gone now.

  They just made two of them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No u 🫵⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In addition to what everyone else is saying, I’ll say that relying solely on your own perception is a pretty weak scientific measurement. That’s like trying to tell me a banana isn’t radioactive because it doesn’t taste like it. If you use any form of measurement to check the curvature of the earth, then you see that it is round. Using your eyes is the absolute worst way to base fact.

  Also, this wasn’t targeted at you. I’m not calling you dumb or anything, just making the argument. I know you are presenting the devil’s advocate stance in good faith.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That e-mail you register when you are 13⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, it’s not real. I can’t remember what I was using before gmail. I was too hip for hotmail, so it was likely some boutique bullshit that sold itself to a marketing firm for their URL.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That e-mail you register when you are 13⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There is a chronodarkprophet@something.com still out there getting spam email from every site I could put my email into.

  Hell yeah, I’ll read it when I get off work. One of my top 5 games of all time.

  To be fair, that’s probably the DTs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Annon punches a Nazi⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, that other kid was a punk bitch who needs to get his ass kicked to learn his place in life. Someone messed up raising him, and they raised a cunt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Video Games Need to Be Cheaper to Buy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And the DLC and “Deluxe” editions… The price of a AAA game is well over $100 now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the fact Stoat.chat doesn't have E2EE mean the server owner can read any and all messages, including DMs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the stoat note.

  …I’m sorry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does the fact Stoat.chat doesn't have E2EE mean the server owner can read any and all messages, including DMs?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Technically yes. Likely they still use Transport Layer Security that will encrypt the messages in transit, but that encryption is controlled by the company, and not the end user. What that means is that your messages are safe from randos in the cafe on the same wifi as you, but if the company wanted to, they could read them. It also means that if messages are subpoenaed then they can hand over the unencrypted messages to the authorities.

  I tried looking at their documentation to see what was going on under the hood, but there were a lot of connection errors and dead ends. They seem to be open source, though, so if you are so inclined you can comb through their code to see what kind of encryption they use.

  Personally, I’d stay away. It doesn’t seem like something that I could put my trust in.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨17 years*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s not so much the users as the mods. I haven’t met one I liked. Tend to sniff their own farts a little too deeply.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨17 years*⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad I blocked the blahaj.zone instance just to get it crossposted into a barely relevant community.

  …sigh. Here I go blocking again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨choose to imagine atlas happy⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s pretty bad for a renewable, though. Most of the time you only get one at a time, and that one doesn’t provide much…

  You know what, I was all on board with making this joke when I started writing, but the more I typed, the less I wanted to continue. So, yeah, I’m sure you can see where it was going. I’m done.

  I hope Trump dies soon. It used to be just silently like syphilis or a brain hemorrhage. Now, I’d be kinda OK with hearing him scream.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon's neighbors have chickens⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I moved into a house with roommates who had chickens. It wasn’t great. The chickens were cool, but they attract vermin. We had a real rat issue for a while, and they wouldn’t believe me that the rats were going after the chicken feed/poop, as well as the warmth of the coop. Then, they got tired of tending to the birds and rehomed them. Sure enough, the rat problem vanished.
