- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 1 week ago:
What if you just didn’t go home at first? Hit a climbing gym with buddies, or buy an ebike and use that to commute home. Interrupting your normal schedule and psychologically making home only a place of rest might help you reset your life a bit.
You don’t have to spend money either. You could even just hit up a park, the library, or hang out with buddies. We tend to go swimming lots once standard time hits.
- Comment on What types of cleaning products do you *really* need to clean the bathroom? 1 week ago:
I usually use something bleach-based for toilet and sinks, as they can start to get funky, especially around tile. Sometimes a bleach powder for the tub bottom, if it gets dirty and is difficult to scrub with simple green. I sometimes swap between simple green and bleach-based, depending on what I’m wearing. I’ve destroyed multiple pieces of clothing with bleach, unfortunately. It does really clean dirty things easily, though.
Also, alcohol wipes can clean walls, if they start to get dirty (eg, bug droppings, pollen, etc. we keep our windows open in summer)

- Comment on Do air purifiers really reduce dust much? 2 weeks ago:
Anecdotally, yes. I was able to go from dusting my PC every 3-6mo to every year.
The filters are completely fuzzy on the air filters every 6-12 mo. I still vacuum and dust, just way less frequently. I also don’t wear shoes in the house.

Inscryption, 100%. Such a good game. Tons of post game content, too.
- Comment on $96.5 million for Nadella | Microsoft's CEO receives record pay in a year that saw 15,000+ layoffs 4 weeks ago:
Just imagine, for a moment, having your salary even being a million dollars a year. Even with a mortgage and kids, that would be a fuckload of money. 95 times that is insane. Even after buying multiple supercars, a mansion, and a fancy boat, you’d still have more money than you could possibly use, ever. And that’s just one year of pay.
God, even if you invested part of a million a year, you’d be fantastically wealthy.

- Comment on ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder 1 month ago:
Heh, they already beat you to it. If you haven’t seen Her, you really should. It’s a very poignant movie, but it has a good ending. It is extremely fitting as people get lonely.

Honestly, I feel like some of what AI does isn’t necessary. If you’re having trouble finding out if someone is either being distant out of respect, or distant because they are uninterested, you could ask them in a kind way about what their vibes are. I think I’d prefer honesty over AI, and that’s what I did when I was single and still dating.
- Comment on Black Unemployment Is Surging Again. This Time Is Different. | Federal layoffs and an end to diversity initiatives have weakened a historically strong labor market for Black workers. 1 month ago:
Trump was sworn in in January of '25. That really was under the Biden admin, not that there was much they could do with Congress locked up with crazies and the US government Hindenburging around it.

It’s infuriating. People are asking for a hand up, not a hand out.

I wish we had central planning for power and rail. It would help a lot with the expansion of both technologies.

Silksong and helldivers 2.
I wanna try MGSV, but it hasn’t gone on sale since the 70 buck remaster came out.
- Comment on Way past its prime: how did Amazon get so rubbish? 1 month ago:
Finding things is such a pain in the ass nowadays. You get a problem with something, say you need a spare part. None of the stores have it. It is on Amazon…but it won’t be here for a solid two weeks. It’s infuriating.
Something that should take less than an hour to fix is now a multi week wait, because of stupid online retailers. And it will be something super common, like a tool to tighten up loose spokes on a bike wheel.

I still want to play MGSV, but it’s currently not on sale. My guess is because of the latest remaster.
