  I don’t care if they exist, but you’d have to make it an 18 an over type of deal. I don’t really care how adults choose to blow their money, gambling included. You want to verify you’re over 18 so you can get loot boxes, you do you.

  You seriously comment on a like 2 year old posting to bitch about citations in a comment thread?

  I gave you all the information you’d need to find sources. Go do it yourself, fuckhead.

  Thanks. The site like national that let you read a few paragraphs before dropping the subscription requirements on you are the worst. Especially when it’s littered with ads to begin with.

  About yea big.

  All any rice cooker does is simmer the water till it has all evaporated. They don’t have a different setting for white or brown rice. Brown rice needs more water to cook. The picture is just a lie.

  It works well, so long as the size is right.

  Oh. Wow. I guess “it isn’t that hard”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you like Cats?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah …I’d have to block my cats numbers they’d be texting so damned much for food and pets and lap time and to recharge their toys.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What one of the annoying things about vegans trying to convert others into their diets is claiming it “isn’t that hard”. I don’t know if y’all are trying to gaslight other people, or gaslight yourselves. Vegetarian is “not that hard”. Vegan is troublesome, more expensive, and much harder to get all the B12 and calcium and iron and fatty acids etc that you need to stay fit and healthy. It’s a pain in the ass to avoid anything from animals and get everything you you need that humans evolved to obtain from animals.

  Meanwhile, a regular 3 topping slice of pizza contains every single thing the body needs. As an omnivore you’ll get it all on accident. A vegetarian will get it all with a touch of effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Missouri here. Most of this area is valid in making the weather statement. Because we’re right where weather fronts live to meet up at to fight we will literally get times when the high is 35f one day and then 70f the next. I think last year we had a day that went from 78f to 19f over the course of like half a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if they would all die off if we went extinct? I know most of them would, but I’m not sure if they could survive self care. They’re large enough that some areas don’t have predators that would mess with them. Like, I don’t think a bunch of coyotes would take out a cow and mountain lions would probably stick to smaller stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s factory farming because at this point if it weren’t for raising animals for slaughter, we would have hunted pretty much everything to extinction. Vegan might be less harmful (aside that we evolved to eat meat and a vegan diet is hard to get right) but it isn’t without death. All those plants kill loads of insects and field mice and birds and rabbits. Everyone still gets a bit of blood on their hands.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The cows we have that we get milk and beef from never lived in the wild. They’re domesticated from wild aurochs that started up around 10,000 years ago. Cows are domesticated food sources that wouldn’t exist without us, just like dogs wouldn’t exist without us.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Being vegan is unnatural"⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re also the only reason cows still exist.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What television series in your opinion had very good writing and character depth?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Full Metal Alchemist:Brotherhood (Nearly perfect)

  The first 9 seasons of the Simpsons (great little 22 minute stories. Character depth is episode dependent, but some of the best episodes of anything television has ever offered.)

  Battlestar Galactica (Had some iffy plotlines along the way, but great character development and intriguing story)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Saying that hardware price increase is good cause it forces the devs to optimize is not as good as it seems.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They can just buy used shit and not play at 4k resolution with 120fps. That stuff will also last longer now.

  I just spent a few hundred to upgrade my gaming computer. I bought an old amd r5 5600x from 2020 for $150 and an old amd rx 6600 xt that came out 5 years ago.

  I’m more than happy to let the “ever more demanding giant game” trend disappear. Half the games I play use pixel art graphics anyhow. If this pushes devs to make smaller and more creative games that run on decade old systems to reach the most gamers, I’m fine with this, still. Less e waste. Less constant feeling of needing newer components. Less bloatware from shitty games that want 100+GB storage.

  Before prices get outrageous on 5+ year old components all these bullshit AI and data centers buying up everything will be dumping the current high end stuff out on the market to make way for newer stuff. And that’s IF the ai bubble doesn’t burst beforehand.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I gotta argue against the games costing more compared to cola. A new Nintendo game in 1988 was $40 to $50. At that time hamburger was 99 cents, a value meal from a fast food place was $4, a house was $80,000, a new car was $10k to $18k, and you were pretty much a Middle class family if you made $45k\year. Some original NES games even hit $60 a piece.

  So videogames are one of the few things that haven’t kept with inflation. In no small part due to more people purchasing games and less physical overhead, but that doesn’t take away from my stance. 40 years later and a game price has gone up by like $20.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are locks and keys mass produced?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Most apartment locks and such are made for the purchaser to be able to easily and quickly re-key. You set it to be rekeyed, put a cut key in, and then lock the key pattern for it in place. Takes like 5 minutes or less. That way every time someone moves out you can keep things secure without replacing the lock.

  In your case, the building manager was just a lazy fuck.

  It is common for lock makers of normal locks to do production runs of just like 50 different key sets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still alive?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What do you think is done during an autopsy? They take fingerprints and do the autopsy part. If no prints are able they’ll look into it further, like teeth x rays and matching bone breaks and whatnot.

  In Epsteins case, they took prints and matched them with when he was arrested in Florida in 2006.

  The prints could have been swapped in Florida or the prints swapped at the autopsy office before being checked with Florida’s prints.

  So yeah, while the whole thing is probably unlikely, the killing a lookalike, and smuggling him into the prison, and smuggling Epstein out, and murdering the lookalike part all sound harder than the part where fingerprints get swapped out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You are strong⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I didn’t expect that read to be kinda funny. Lol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Still alive?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The fortnite account shows it was active like 2 months after his “death” but way before the files were released. Like 10 months before the files were released. Also there was a prison guard on 4chan (he got identified and was working at the prison) who claimed of an off the books transport van that showed up the evening before his death and it was kept out of the log books. Also that bit of footage the night of his death at the prison that showed just the tiniest bit of an orange jumpsuit going towards Epsteins cell. And all the cameras that just strategically managed to not be working.

  Any one thing is nothing. All of it together is something else.

  FYI: “Too much salt” isn’t bad for you at all if you don’t have high blood pressure or you’re retaining too much water.

  That’s it. Nothing else bad. It’s also the safest thing to try if you have hypotension.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I just replaced the original (with mods to make it look nicer) last year. Hadn’t played it since like 1997 on PS. It was great nostalgia and still a great game, but obviously a bit dated in some QOL departments.

  It is, however, a complete game and the story line is still good. Especially if you go into it blind. The entire materia system to give your characters powers and perks is legendary.

  The OG game came out as an entire (and long) game. It’s complete. Major bonus. No bullshit having to buy a game like 3 times over a 15 year span just to get it all. Not to mention having to keep waiting for that 3rd game to release.

  If you like (or think you may like) old school turn based rpg’s, then give it a shot. You should like it. If you don’t like those, avoid it, and if you haven’t ever played one, it’s not a lot of money to risk.

  I do recommend getting some mods on it though. It can be made to look much better than it originally did during that awkward phase where they were making 3d games, but graphics weren’t good enough to warrant making them 3d.
