  ? I thought both Jackson and Kellogg didn’t like sugar? Kellogg even believed excitement caused masturbation, and wanted bland unexciting food was the way to go. That and dick piercings that would make erections painful.

  ADHD means a lot of games with a ton of hours. Over 1k include Ark, Warframe, FFXIV, Civ V and Civ VI, Monster Hunter games, Elite Dangerous, Fallout 4, Pal world is close at 996h etc. Generally I like a lot of stuff, except maybe most first person shooters, battle royales, and I can’t actually recall playing a sports game past some SNES basketball games. Do Mario mini games count?

  There’s also a Hypothesis iirc that this rapid expansion also lowered our life span. Longevity Bottleneck Hypothesis though I think this one includes dinosaurs hunting mammals, and maybe Disposable Soma Theory.

  Huh, the second one could probably be used to explain elves in fantasy: long life, low reproduction rate.

  It’s more a comment on the current American inter* of Jesus, especially those on billboards etc. There’s no real abortion hatred in the Bible either; people usually just use the scripture about god knowing them in the womb, despite a supposed abortion remedy being in the Bible, or Exodus 21:22-24 where the baby dying is only a fine but any damage to the pregnant woman is repaid in kind (eye for eye, tooth for tooth, death for death).

  Hmmm… So by this reasoning, pickles are racist…

  I knew it!

  Racism. They don’t like all the black people in games now

  Hmm, the only time I learned about false cognates was when learning high school Spanish, so I assumed it meant two words that sound similar in different languages but have different meanings, rather than homonyms in the same language.

  Example: embarrassed and embarazado

  Looking the above example up for spelling, I see it’s called a false friend, and while it is a false cognate, false cognates can be in the same language too(from here en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Appendix:Glossary#false_co… ) :

  false cognate A word in a language that bears a phonetic and semantic resemblance to a word in another or the same language but is not etymologically related to it and thus not a true cognate. Examples include English day/Portuguese dia, German Feuer/French feu (both meaning “fire”), Malay dua/Sanskrit द्व (dva) (both meaning “two”), and English dog/Mbabaram dog. Compare false friend. false friend A word in a language that bears a phonetic resemblance to a word in another language, often because of a common etymology, but has a different meaning. Examples include English parent/Portuguese parente (“relative”) and English embarrassed/Spanish embarazada (“pregnant”). Compare false cognate.

  Dogs can also rip out throats, but the actual occurrences are rare. I think that’s what they’re saying. Deer definitely can do it too, which you said in another post is that your understanding is that Kangaroos are more violent. Which, are they? Or is that just your impression of a foreign animal you’ve only heard newsworthy stuff about as opposed to animals you regularly encounter in your home country?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anyone in tech confirm?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on the person and what they’ve dealt with. I’ve worked IT since '99, but I’m not really burnt out. There are definitely things I dislike, but I still enjoy tech, I still enjoy gaming, and I’m still interested in future tech, even if I do agree I don’t like the direction it’s going in.

  Part of it is that I seem to have a pretty decent burnout warning sensor, and I just stop whatever no work thing moving me that way for a while. Yes I like games, but I like reading, I like climbing, I like biking, I like photography, I like nature, I like the stars, etc.

  Another reason may be that while I dislike the way some tech is going, I have other worries about either nontech stuff or just the main reason tech stuff is going in wrong directions, and those worry me more, so tech can still be an escape from worse worries.

  Helium is one of those things I don’t really care about. I could tell you I never liked balloons because of their impact on the environment, and that would be true, especially with ones getting released into the air. However I also have a really selfish reason, and that was cleaning them up. I never really liked water balloons for the same reasons, and I’m so happy I haven’t been around much confetti.

  Closer to $12 at current exchange, and a cursory search suggests some popular magazines are 1500yen per issue, so doesn’t actually seem that off.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon travels overseas⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In what is likely a touristy or well traveled section. Sometimes the difference includes how we do our transportation too, like more walking/biking. Maybe a difference in how often we rely on said restaurants too.

  I’ve tasted cucumber water and can definitely taste the cucumber (I also drink unsweetened seltzers). I wonder why theirs isn’t working.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.

  Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.

  As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux gamers on Steam finally cross over the 3% mark⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.

  The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.

  So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sushi delivery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There are 3 colors on the avocado parts, a deeper green, a lighter yellowish green, and a light brownish part, which is consistent with avocado cuts and oxidization.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sushi delivery⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Definitely avocado; cucumber doesn’t have that color gradient but avocados do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Go Green⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m definitely not an expert, but I thought the biggest issue with baked edibles were the temps you cooked them at might degrade THC. Isn’t it impossible to get the dough crispy at temps THC stays stable at?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Get over yourself⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I drive an EV, use my e bike to shop, Carey my own bags both bike and war, and have a portable collapsible basket for shopping if I use my car. No one has ever asked if or suggested that I’m gay.

  In fact, I see more people assuming I have kids (I have none).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo's Creature Capture Patent Dealt Blow Amid Palworld Lawsuit⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The decision mentions ARK, which has always been one of my arguments. It’s a survival builder with Dinos, but almost every creature is capturable/tamable in some way or another, aside from some bosses/special enemies. Ark has been around a while, and even added a stored in a ball like element years back, but it probably doesn’t exactly come to mind as a catch em all game for most people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨And what car did you learn in?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My first two cars were manuals, and I enjoy manuals (drive an EV now so no choice there) but this post reeks of acting like doing so makes us special. It doesn’t. We just learned a different skill, and almost anyone can learn it if they chose to and especially if they enjoy it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CNC⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to think of the meaning you guys are saying, because for me it keeps making think of Computer Based Training, though I think that acronym fell out of use a decade ago.

  Wait, I thought a sec and now I know exactly what it means. Oof ow my balls.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I actually make baba ganoush a lot, so sometimes I use it. I actually don’t use mayo when I’m making the sandwich, but if it’s fast food or a sandwich restaurant or something I’ll ask for light mayo or sometimes just mustard.

  Haven’t tried vegan mayo, but maybe I’ll give it a try next time I feel like chicken/tuna salad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fictional⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it means the instead that we made up measurements to measure the speed of light, but the God in this meme doesn’t use manmade measurements, so it’s just 1 (like 1c). Since the speed of light is the max theoretical speed of anything in the universe, it makes sense that anything else could be measured in fractions of it.

  I’ve heard (as in, hearsay, so not reputable at all) that it may also be intended for emergency workers in case of a crash, but I still think that’s less likely than your explanation. If it were for emergency workers, you wouldn’t likely have it only on the rear window/bumper.
