- Comment on Anon watches The Terminator 2 days ago:
I mean kinda, but you gotta sit for a background check
- Comment on Can't throw me off the scent 3 weeks ago:
Not very. Worthless if cut into short lengths.
A thief who rips a bunch out of a construction site or similar won’t be able to sell it for anything, if that’s what you wanted to know.
- Comment on Will pilots-less airplanes happens first, or driver-less cars? Why? 4 weeks ago:
Both kinda already exist.
Easier to control for variables with airplanes. It seems like a simpler (still hells difficult, but simpler) problem to solve, so them first I’d guess
- Comment on Buddy baka 5 weeks ago:
There’s a scene in evangelion where the mc jerks it over an unconscious asuka (the character on the video card in the background) and nuts all over his hand.
He covered his hand in thermal paste as a reference.
It’s a (intentionally) creepy scene and extremely off-color for a repair tech to send this to a customer, IMO. Good thing it’s probably fake.
- Comment on When leftists say "landlord are parasites" or similar dislike of landlords, do they also mean the people that own like a couple of houses as an investment, or only the big landlords? 1 month ago:
Depends on the leftist, but generally I think hoarding land you’re not personally using, especially during a housing crisis, is wrong.
I also think that charging rent from people to simply exist in a place you aren’t using anyway is wrong. When she pays the mortgage she’s buying equity, when they pay the rent they’re buying jack shit. It’s an enormous parasitic drain on the economy.
But I don’t think she’s, like, evil. Not the same way that major landlord companies are. And I understand the motivations. I still disagree with the methods, but until the great commie revolution/rapture comes we all have to engage with problematic capitalist systems to a greater or lesser extent.
- Comment on If billionaires and CEOs feel like they need to start paying for large security details, would that be an example of trickle down economics? 1 month ago:
Instead of fishing for a debate how about you just go ahead and say whatever it is you’re thinking
- Comment on Taste the flavor 1 month ago:
We all know that Costco has the best gas
- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 1 month ago:
- because they’re frequently proven right, English is the most commonly spoken second language after all
- Americans who can afford to travel abroad are generally more wealthy, and tend to be more over entitled in all aspects of their lives
- Comment on Intel Arc B580 'Battlemage' GPU announced - 1440p Ultra gaming for $249 1 month ago:
Been a while but I played around with the a770 in Arch for a few months. It didn’t play nice with proton and even native games were hit and miss. Better support from Intel than nvidia gives, but it’s a new platform and Linux development was definitely taking a back seat to the windows drivers which were also a buggy mess.
And basically nobody had the cards so if something didn’t work your options were to give up or become a computer graphics programming wizard and fix it all yourself from scratch.
To answer the question: not really, no. The drivers themselves may have been fine, but who knows how any given software will handle a brand new GPU architecture.
- Comment on Intel Arc B580 'Battlemage' GPU announced - 1440p Ultra gaming for $249 1 month ago:
Sick. I got an a770le when they launched. Buggy AF, but not bad performance when it decided to work. It currently lives as a dedicated av1 encoder in a Plex server
- Comment on You best start believing in a cyberpunk dystopia 1 month ago:
I was expecting this from quadcopters. I’d have thought they’d be more difficult to catch
- Comment on Brazilian's impression on Europe(i have never been there and this is based on nothing) 2 months ago:
Everything you don’t like is American
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 2 months ago:
The photo was most likely taken from the outside of the fence, as evidenced by the smaller picket fence in the foreground
- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 2 months ago:
Presumably the fence runs between their property so they have to see it every day. Also those exposed nails could be hazardous to pets or children.
It’s also pretty trivial to cut the boards to length and use appropriate fasteners. Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but I suspect this kind of carelessness is present in other parts of the neighbor’s life. They’ve probably gotten on OP’s nerves before.
- Comment on It's fire... Maybe concerning but fire still 2 months ago:
Finnish people are fucking crazy (non-derogatory)
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 2 months ago:
I’m not sure how much these endorsements actually matter… Lord knows Liz Cheney’s endorsing Kamala didn’t tip the scales.
Would establishment libs support a leftist? Maybe not. But that doesn’t mean that voters would necessarily follow suit.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 2 months ago:
Probably. People tend to vote for their team - regardless of the actual underlying policy
No promises, though.
- Comment on Geoff Keighley is apparently attempting to trademark "The Game Awards" with the US Patent Office 2 months ago:
He didn’t already have a trademark? I’m surprised.
Anyway, here comes a flood of ragebait about how Geoff of trying to own the concept of award shows
- Comment on USA President term limits 2 months ago:
Short of congress changing the law or a successful coup, neither of which are necessarily off the table, yes these next four years will be Trump’s last in office. Who knows what either party will have to offer in 2028.
- Comment on Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest 2 months ago:
Yeah, the double pack of Kirkland ibuprofen will typically last an entire family a year or more
- Comment on Het Pijnstillersparadijs: Europese Zelfbeheersing vs. Amerikaanse Pillenfeest 2 months ago:
It helps marginally better than placebo for me. Hence why Americans use it for fairly trivial aches and pains.
I can’t imagine it would do anything for pain I’d consider ‘serious’.
- Comment on Anon takes the horsepill 2 months ago:
$750 a year to maintain health
Lol
- Comment on I have a very strange question about washers, dryers and the Middle East. 2 months ago:
This decision is made for most people by the electrician who wired the house. This seems like as decent a hypothesis as any for why they seem to prefer washers to the left
- Comment on Clever, clever 2 months ago:
Doesn’t help if students manually type the assignment requirements instead of just copying & pasting the entire document in there
- Comment on Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election? 3 months ago:
Yikes. We’re all thinking about how covid disproportionately affects the elderly, but it also disproportionately affects people who live in denser population centers.
I don’t like talking about pandemics in terms of which political party they help, but I guess the dems may have been hit harder in the end…
- Comment on I'd have to hear her argument, but... 3 months ago:
If it’s all a truly random selection, which I believe it was, then half of all people would cease to exist, leaving half of their gut biomes behind, still alive (albeit briefly). I guess the end result would be the snapped people leaving behind a mist of gross intestinal bacteria which would itself mostly die out without a host. Meaning much more than half of all gut biome bacteria would be killed as a result.
Of course it would make more sense to consider a person and their gut flora as one being, but the joke is about how stupid the initial conception of Thanos’ plan is, not creating an academically rigorous argument.
- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 3 months ago:
For conversation about various subjects with broad appeal and a left wing slant, sure.
For tech support or info on niche topics, not at all. Lemmy is not big enough, old enough, or easily indexed by search engines.
The porn is also pretty mid tbh
- Comment on Why do some men dis other men who sit to pee? (& follow-up questions) 3 months ago:
You’re not going to hear from men who actually do this because they don’t have a good reason and aren’t typically comfortable with the kind of introspection the question demands.
Some people are exclusionary pricks who look for excuses to judge others. They don’t have or need a reason. It’s bullying.

On the one hand this is creepy as hell
On the other fuck mosquitoes
- Comment on ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ to Lose $150 Million to $200 Million in Theatrical Run After Bombing at Box Office 3 months ago:
Didn’t even know this movie had been announced until I’d heard it was bombing. I never watched the first one so odds were pretty slim I’d have seen it anyway.
