The percentage seems to be padded out by inactive accounts or something, even the worst only fans profiles I’ve seen are showing ‘top 1%’ banners

- Comment on Resume help 3 weeks ago:
Yeah the OP is the opposite of my experience with ADHD. I’m fucking terrible at moving from one task to another, that’s literally the hardest part about it. I just studied Japanese for 12 hours straight yesterday instead of working or writing any code, just because I got the sudden urge. I haven’t actively studied Japanese since 2020 so I’m just reviewing shit I already learned years ago. I’ll do this for a couple days until I either burn myself out or find a new thing to fixate on.
If I’m in burnout, I’ll start rapidly changing between tasks, playing 10 minutes of every game I own chasing any shred of dopamine I can find, or scrolling through short form video content for hours until I find something that catches my attention and then I’ll be fixated on that for anywhere between 1 full day, to about a week.
Like I have coping techniques and medication, but they only go so far and sometimes I just can’t seem to reign it in. Sometimes I can fixate on work or study tasks, (e.g. Japanese) but usually it takes a Herculean amount of effort, determination and discipline to actually control my focus to what I need it on. When I manage to direct my focus to the important stuff it feels like a superpower to fixate on it, but those moments are few and far between.

I also came across the same study while looking to disprove a conspiracy nut. We should really do more research on the effects of fluoride.

Thank you. I’ve seen the old one before and I knew there was an illusion but I obviously couldn’t find it in the OP.
- Comment on Zotac Zone review: Display galore with class-leading inputs 3 months ago:
These reviews never do a great job talking about UI/UX and that’s literally the only thing I care about until they get the steam deck OS or Microsoft actually enters the space with a Windows version.
- Comment on Where does the music go? 3 months ago:
I can’t say this did or didn’t happen, but I absolutely had ‘philosophical’ thoughts like this as a kid.
When I was ~10 I asked my mom how we know other people aren’t ‘aliens or something’. She just dismissed me as being silly, and I didn’t know it at the time but in retrospect I was absolutely experiencing and asking her about solipsism.
I didn’t know it was ‘philosophy’ but I think it’s integral to how we experience the world and sentience in general.
- Comment on Not everything needs to be Art 3 months ago:
So did I, and I didn’t even know I could play until years later when I sat in front of a friend’s kit for a lesson with them. They basically talked me through the setup, gave me a song to play, and I just played the opening without much fuss. They basically told me I could already play and I just needed time on the kit, left the room and let me go ham.

Yeah it’d almost be like if a person got swallowed by a whale or something. Someone should write a book about it.
- Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase 3 months ago:
It’s data.
It’s never “owning” in the traditional sense, because data is not physical.
When people say they own something, there’s an implication that it’s theirs until they decide to part with it. That is true for games bought without DRM. DRM free the closest you’ll ever get to ‘owning’ data, you possess that on your own local device and it can’t be taken away.
You can lose the ability to download the game, sure. But that is an additional service, not the game itself. You have that data until you delete it. Same with GoG Galaxy. that’s an extra service.
You’re arguing 2 or 3 different things. Ownership as a legal right, ownership as in possession, and a weird third thing where you seem to be confusing meta services with the ownership of the thing itself.
- Comment on Steam Now Warns Consumers That They're Buying a License, Not a Game During a Purchase 3 months ago:
But GoG provides it DRM free, so you can always play what you’ve downloaded til the end of time. It’s as good as piracy in that way.

It killed the promise of affordable content we had for a decade. When Netflix was the only game in town, you paid less for it and got more.

I’ve ranted about this so much to people close to me. Scientific community just needs to adopt a new word like you say, theory is a lost battle

I’ve been a big fan of Thor since his first shorts boom, but this take is a massive fucking L from him that I’m very sad to see.

Never buy chain pizza at menu price. They all run specials all the time, that are around half off. They keep menu prices high so that they can constantly run buy one get one promos and specials to make you think you’re getting a deal. They also happen to gouge people who won’t bother checking the deals section

I don’t really agree at all.
The overwhelming majority of people are going to be calling from a cell phone with data access now. It’s time to consider including data access to emergency services w/ emergency roaming functionally just like we do with calls and sms. A system can and should be built out to provide emergency gps, video + information services like we described and live video calls. We have the technology we just have to cut through bureaucracy.
Providing advanced smartphone functionality in emergencies could be hugely beneficial.
