- Comment on do ribbed condoms feel better than smooth during anal? 2 days ago:
They don’t really make much of a difference, imo. There are wearable products out there that can add a texture difference, but they are incompatible with condoms if you are trying to reduce the risk of STDs.
That said, there are many ways to spice up sex in new and fun ways, even outside of condom choice :)
- Comment on American tourists visiting the EU, what do you think of it? 2 weeks ago:
Really depends on where you go! Certain parts feel safer, other parts feel less safe (or less comfortable to walk through safely). I’m not going to name names, as I’ve only been to various countries for a bit at a time, it would be unfair to pass judgement on entire nations based off a small experience.
The public transit is usually a cut above. Some of the driving feels dangerous. The food prices are somewhat expensive, but the food is generally less UPF-laced.
The more relaxed culture around nudity is refreshing. The lack of large, wild parks is a bit disappointing (or perhaps we missed these entirely), but various nations seem to be catching on to rewilding. The history is fascinating, and europeans generally think much more long-term than Americans, but the bad blood also runs deep, which is a little worrying. I’m glad the EU keeps everyone together.
Overall, it’s fun to visit, it generally feels safe, cultured, and the transit is very great, particularly the train systems. It has it’s problems just like other places in Africa, North America, and Central America.
If I had to live in a non-english speaking country, I’d probably pick Spain. Wonderful people, great transit, a relaxed culture, and excellent food, though France and Germany give Spain a run for their money on several of these points.

Don’t forget the meta where a new paid DLC weapon is super unbalanced and great for two weeks until the devs nerf it into the ground and everyone goes back to the default weapons that are just ok.

I agree!

Heh, the first step in a long series of steps towards orbital shipyards and coriolis-class space stations.
The future is looking bright.

Red rescue team, if you haven’t played a pokemon mystery dungeon game before. I played the DS version (blue rescue team) and loved it.

- Comment on How Did Mpox Become a Global Emergency? What’s Next? - The New York Times 1 month ago:
It’s a pox virus. The vehicles may change, but it’s related to other pox viruses like smallpox. Primarily through skin contact, which can include sex. The fact that it’s spreading through children is a bad sign, though, as schools are a big vector.

I’m surprised we aren’t really reusing greywater for watering parks, cleaning streets, public (decorative) fountains, etc. Seems like a waste.
- Comment on AMD Ryzen 9000 Series processors dates and prices revealed 1 month ago:
Hmm, no 9800x. Disappointing. There’s no way I’m paying $500 for a CPU.
- Comment on Is there any actual standalone AI software? 2 months ago:
You can load up your own datasets, has some of its own, too. Most of these are pretty good, but run on synthetic data. Storing and processing something the size of chatgpt would bankrupt most people.
This program can use significant amounts of computer resources if you let her eat. I recommend closing other programs and games.
- Comment on Does voting for Biden change anything if I live in a deep red area of my state? (Ohio) 2 months ago:
Absolutely. Voting in federal, state, and local elections makes big differences. I’ve lived in red and blue states, and my votes have personally swayed policy for red and blue states. Some of the stuff I voted for passed on margins as slim as 1,200 votes, in a city of hundreds of thousands of people (guess how many of them voted?)
As a direct result of me voting, my life dramatically improved because my cut bus lines were restored, the feds rebuilt parts of my city, and people were no longer getting arrested on bullshit charges.
Further civic action saved one local park from redevelopment.
So few people actually vote, even fewer with bad takes. So voting can have a profound impact on your life and other’s lives. Some of my friends got the right to marry. Some others lost their ability to access healthcare and were forced to move states to access it again. It makes a difference.
This doesn’t end with Americans either. You guys worldwide have had a number of extremely close elections, see the list below. Do your civic duty and vote! It can take an hour or less with a bit of research, and has a surprisingly big impact on your life.
- Comment on Report: Resident Evil 7 on iOS has earned Capcom $28,140 since launch 2 months ago:
Eh. Not really interested unless I can play Halo 3 on my phone. And even then, the DRM on the MCC is so awful that it makes me constantly sign in on my steam deck.
Mobile gaming had it’s time in the sun with Plants Vs Zombies and Infinity Blade. It’s been downhill ever since with the rise of f2p gambling/lootcrate games. I don’t see mobile gaming ever coming back from that until regulations are much, much stronger.

This happened to me, except it was an antivaxxer coworker, and he gave me his preventable disease right before I was supposed to be going on an international ski trip with friends for my birthday. I wanted to murder him :)
- Comment on I don't have AC but my apartment lease covers unlimited water usage and the water is very cold. How can I best use this to cool my home? 2 months ago:
Just get a window AC if you have the right type of windows. Otherwise, a dual hose portable heat pump from costco or other reputable source.

About 41,000 Americans die in fatal car accidents, with another 289,000 injured in 2022 alone, from distracted driving. If we are going to be banning dangerous things, heavy consumer cars and trucks should probably be right up there.

Oh, I meant the underlying account name itself. The account that you log in with if you don’t use a QR code.

If anyone ever figures this out for your Steam account (not the gamertag, which can be changed), lmk, I’m in a similar boat.
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals 2 months ago:
It’s a completely different game vs undertale. It’s like comparing Dota 2 to DiRT rally, haha. It’s worth going in blind, and the post-game is extremely good and very replayable (and adds new content).
- Comment on Steam Summer Sale - Top Deals 2 months ago:
Inscription is fucking awesome. And you don’t really need a mouse, so it can be nice for flights, or if you want to play one-handed for some reason.
The post-game is SO GOOD.
It’s one of those rare videogames that makes non-gamers ask “What is that?” And then “where can I buy it?”

- Comment on Those Assassin’s Creed, Resident Evil and Death Stranding iOS ports have bombed 2 months ago:
Tbh, I probably would have started with something a bit less complicated than those games.
Portal 2 would have been a better option, IMO. Something with relatively simple controls and not super enemy-focused.

*human porn.
Google can’t even block yiff with safe search, lol. AI has incredible difficulty with evaluating furry porn. Which means that Mitch McConnell is going to live out his final days looking at anthropomorphic hyenas that could benchpress a fridge and have 11 inches of freedom, lmao.
Generations of southerners and people in the central US are going to be looking at considerable amounts of yiff if conservatives have their way.
- Comment on What does it mean if I keep getting rashes/pimples, but only on one finger? 3 months ago:
You should see a dermatologist for an accurate diagnosis. They are far more knowledgeable than us and can suggest treatments.
- Comment on Pros / cons of riding a bike? 3 months ago:
There have been studies debunking claims of bike-induced ED, buuuuut, if you are really worried, you can get a ventilated or slotted saddle and occasionally stand up on your bike at traffic stops and such. There are specialized saddles and a variety of bikes with different riding positions.
I love downhill mountain biking, singletrack, and city riding, and never had issues with getting it up either. When the shitty OEM saddle made my balls fall asleep, I swapped to a better saddle made by SQ Labs and changed the seat angle slightly.
