- Comment on To appease a Steam user's demands for straight representation, Webfishing added a 'Straight' title that costs 9,999 fish bucks 1 week ago:
Obviously that steam guy was probably coming from a place of bad faith
The Steam forums actively encourage this kind of bad faith behavior:
-
when a post gets a new reply it’s moved to the top of the forums. So as long as people are engaging with a post, even if it’s just to make fun of a bigot, it keeps getting pushed back to the top.
-
Users can “award” posts for various things (helpfull, cool, funny, etc) and users have taken to giving ‘Clown’ awards as a way of making fun of posts. Whenever one of your posts gets an award, you are given Steampoints you can use in the Steam cosmetics store.
This results in every game having bad faith posts “complaining” about wokeness so that people will make fun of them with Clown awards as a way to farm Steampoints. The developer bringing attention to it just helps them get more.

E=mc2 is the equation for how much energy is created by destroying a given amount of mass.

That’s why it would fuck over causality
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
The end state doesn’t have to be at the end of time if the electron can travel backwards in time. It can go to the end, head back towards the beginning, and get destroyed somewhere in between.
Strictly speaking it would have to get destroyed at some point, or at least have something stop it from going back and forth, otherwise the universe would be all electron.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
So I have to destroy 2 electrons to fuck over causality.
- Comment on Please be patient. 3 weeks ago:
So if I can destroy 1 electron I destroy every electron?
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 3 weeks ago:
Can’t even blame Blizzard, it’s the people who keep buying this shit that are actually the problem.
Por que no dos?
I have room in my heart to hate both groups.
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 3 weeks ago:
There’s also the fact that people will pay for it. Would you take a million dollars to let your favorite game put a skin of you in it holding a sign saying “I care more about the money I made from this skin than the quality of this game”?
I hate the practice, but I despise the fact that it always turns out to be so damn profitable.
- Comment on World of Warcraft adds $90 mount to in game store 3 weeks ago:
They put Mailbox and Auction House on it which AFAIK the only mount that has both which is incredibly valuable.
Create the problem, sell the solution.
- Comment on Netflix raises prices as password boost fades 4 weeks ago:
Companies will charge what the market will bear. If Netflix increases prices and lowers quality and people keep paying the higher price for lower quality, then Netflix will keep doing it. It’s up to consumers to not pay for enshittification in order to stop it.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
They literally call themselves pro-life and then express support for the death penalty.

Until it stops increasing profits.
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 5 weeks ago:
I complete agree, but the original question was why people hate on AIs so much, and the reason is LLMs
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 5 weeks ago:
I agree, but the reason for all the AI hate is companies pushing LLMs, calling them AIs, and treating them like some miracle that is worth all the energy they consume. If we try to differentiate between LLMs and AI then the AI hate will go away.
- Comment on Nobel Prize 2024 5 weeks ago:
Current “AI’s” (LLMs) are only useful for art and non-fact based text. The two things people particularly do not need computers to do for them.

- Comment on Jon Stewart: Trump Is The Opposite of Who His Supporters Claim He Is | The Daily Show 1 month ago:
My reading is that they’re averages of other polls that are polling popular vote, e.g. simply asking “which candidate would you vote for if the elections were tomorrow?”.
Please, point out to me where it says they have polled the popular vote. I don’t see anywhere that states the question being asked, but I do see the headline: Explore Electoral College scenarios
- Comment on Jon Stewart: Trump Is The Opposite of Who His Supporters Claim He Is | The Daily Show 1 month ago:
That’s talking about the Electoral College and chances of winning the election. I was talking about the popular vote, and specifically mentioned that without the Electoral College Republicans wouldn’t have a chance.

If your back hurts when you get up consider getting a water bed. I switched recently and it has been amazing for my back.
- Comment on Jon Stewart: Trump Is The Opposite of Who His Supporters Claim He Is | The Daily Show 1 month ago:
from a statistical perspective, the weight is really about 50/50
It’s really not. Republicans have less support from less than 40% of the population, MAGAts are less than 20%. The Electoral College, Gerrymandering, and voter disenfranchisement are the only reason the election is around 50/50.
If the US election was done by a straight popular vote there would have only been a single Republican president since 1990, and it would have been 20 years ago.

Not everyone feels drained by talking to people
And those people wouldn’t be wearing this pin.
People that feel drained from socializing feel that way with everybody.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarok Mod Removes PSN Requirement and Creator Vows to Maintain It 1 month ago:
Therefore you might accidentally buy a game without knowing you need it and can’t just "not buy the game and move
Launch the game, see that it requires a sign in, refund the game because it doesn’t have over 2 hours of play time.

Make sure you remove your credit card from the account, or check your statement each month to make sure they didn’t sign you back up.

Love how it takes them 3-5 business days to return the money they stole from you.
We had to remove our credit card from our account because Amazon kept charging us for Prime and I would have to call them to get it cancelled and refunded (and wait 3-5 business days to get our money back).
We were very careful when checking out that we didn’t have anything checked saying “sign me up for Prime”, even had it happen on a day where we did not place an order (and therefore weren’t on the site) for at least a week on either side of us “signing up for Prime.” Once we took the card off the account it stopped happening, so it wasn’t anything we were activating.It’s annoying to have to re-enter our card information if we want to order something, but less annoying than having to call them every month to cancel Prime again. And anything that increases the barrier to using Amazon is probably a good thing anyway.
