  I’m not quite as bad as the post, but emotions are complicated. I like friends, and I like being invited, even if I might not be able to go.

  I do want to go out to places, but sometimes the distance, timing, proximity to last event, etc make it too much.

  I don’t want to fall out of the list of invitees though, as I will want to go at some point in the future. Sometimes it’s an event that not going to might be a problem otherwise, even if I’m not up to it, but to maintain invites/friendship it’s best to suck it up.

  Very possible st stops. I’ve done it once, shocking myself more than the other driver.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam now generates three times more revenue for Capcom than PlayStation⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they technically do, with stuff like Helldivers 2, Spiderman games, etc. I have Helldivers 2, but stopped playing it for a while in protest when they tried to make you use a PlayStation account for it, essentially cutting off a bunch of players in countries PlayStation doesn’t operate in.

  There are different types actually. The one a past roommate had for his attic had no real killing use except if you forgot to check it, in which case dehydration or starving would kill. It involved one way entrances, and normal food like peanut butter as bait.

  I haven’t seen silence of the lambs, so only really know it through popular culture. I know there. Is some element of gender identity to the story but not much else.

  Is the whole thing transphobic, like when they make villains queer coded, or do you mean something else?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨But I am mighty!!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Heat is also (thermal) radiation. So is light, radio waves, microwaves, etc. However, the radiation from a fire or the other stuff I mentioned isn’t ionizing, so unless the heat itself does damage it won’t do cellular damage.

  You also give off thermal radiation, but so does anything higher temp than absolute zero.

  Some of the chemicals do show up a bit in blood, but there’s no evidence it’s toxic iirc.

  The debugging tool?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Legends is among us⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I turned em off when my boss at the time noticed I was always playing FFXIV. I wasn’t always actually playing, I used to leave it open almost all the time. Why was my boss and I in the same discord? This was early COVID and we used a discord to shoot the shit. Also almost all of us games, including said boss, and I probably wouldn’t have really gotten in trouble anyway, but I just explained I leave it open a lot and he accepted that without qualm.

  People still will, because lots of people spoil, some like watching streaming etc. When new stuff comes out and I’m not ready to start it, it often also involves stop visiting certain communities, discords, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Luv Me Chips, 'ate Seagulls...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It shows anger issues and a proloclivity towards disproportionate retribution. Most people wouldn’t kill an animal for a simple chip/fry heist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a good question⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except earlier it said to have no idols. The cross is an idol. You can appreciate a sacrifice without using the tool that caused such sacrifice as a form of worship. If you rather jumped in front of you and died to a gun shot, he sacrificed his life to save you and you would be appreciative. Would you then wear a gun necklace around your neck to show you love your dad and the sacrifice he made for you? By sanctifying his murder weapon?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't know shit in class⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh, it seems I said it in a way that sounded like all my teachers were like that. Not so. I meant I only remember the passionate ones. My 8th grade science teacher, my 10th grade chemistry teacher, my high school sociology teacher, my 11th grade American History teacher and my 11th and 12th grade Electronics teacher are the only ones I have significant memories of.

  They were all passionate teachers that loved teaching, not just following a program or book. They taught with experiments, examples, etc. Even when I did things wrong. For example, the 8th grade science teacher. One experiment had us making H20 and NaCl from HCl and NaOH. We’d mix the HCl with a glass stirrer, and I started putting it in the Bunsen burner’s flame making it blue.

  Teacher caught us and had us stay after class. But instead of just a punishment or lecture, they instead brought out a bunch of dangerous to burn items including magnesium and gave us protective gear, then demonstrated why putting random things in fire was bad. It was an excellent and very fun way to teach us a lesson.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't know shit in class⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The teachers I remember were all enthusiastic about their subjects.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The joy of quitting a shit job with an asshole boss⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One placed laid me off. I was a senior telecom/network admin in IT, so while I wouldn’t have due to personal morals, I definitely had potential to, with even just my badge access.

  They gave me about 3 weeks, with no access. They told me I was gone officially at the end of the month and my would be paid normally until then, after which severance would kick in, but don’t come in.

  I think that’s a fine way to do it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Calm down⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The only person I’ve had this reaction from was a genx man yelling that he wasn’t being emotional but instead logical. Said man did the standard co.plain about wife and say women are emotional, and also argued that animal abuse shouldn’t be punishable by law because animals don’t have souls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Now we know why teacher isn’t teaching math, but they should definitely not be teaching reasonableness either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits a guy's house⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have metal versions. I don’t really use em, but they’re for stuff like alcoholic drinks or whiskey on ice but for if you don’t want it to get watered down, just cold. I have two that look like metal golf balls and 6 that are small cubes,and they generally just sit somewhere atm.

  I’ve used em to cool booze before, but I haven’t drank any high percentage alcohol in a while.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon visits a guy's house⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My ice cubes are small enough that rinsing them would waste more water than just tossing the very few that fall. I toss em in the sink.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't fathom it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You probably think no one wants to hear it when they disagree, but more likely what works for you doesn’t work for everyone. As the person replying to you exemplified. There isn’t a one trick for everyone in these kinda of things, and anyone who claims there is is either ignorant or scamming.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't Look Up⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bunch of Klansmen(some who knew Ron Paul and one of those started Stormfront) really overestimated themselves, yeah. They got caught before they even left the US kinda hilariously.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don't Look Up⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, there was Operation Red Dog by 13 (3 being agents so really more like 9-10) people who tried to take over Dominica and make it a white ethnostate…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd choose 4 tbh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Check your weight in the morning then later in the day. It always fluctuates, with your overnight fast/ not drinking water making you lose some weight if you couldn’t gain any but could still lose weight, you’d eventually wither away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'd choose 4 tbh⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My issue with 6 is that it feels like a monkey paw. There are times we shouldn’t be happy, like tragedies happening to others, deaths ,etc. While being overall happy in life sounds great, always happy sounds like a cognitive issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In 3.5 years, Notepad.exe has gone from “barely maintained” to “it writes for you”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t use it, but I assume the writes for you was to imitate VS Codes GitHub copilot. While it will suggest code in stuff like scripts, you can absolutely ignore it

  Big spiders are actually quite fragile from what I understand. Though I’ve never owned one.

  I think it’s a type of vape, but it was popular a while ago and I haven’t heard much since. Maybe this is an old meme?
