I have a one mile commute, but may or may not have to drive random directions and distances for errands at a moment’s notice. It’s hard planning which days I could bike for minimum fuel use reductions.

- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 2 weeks ago:
I had a HS teacher say the the 2nd to 5th richest people were the Walton(of Walmart) family heirs. I knew this wasn’t right because at the time, Steve Balmer(of Microsoft) was the 5th or something. I printed out the Forbe list and brought it in. The teacher coped by saying that if you combined the Walton wealth, it would rank that high. He was a POS teacher for more significant reasons than that though.

No. Bikers do not have a “complicated history” with Nazi iconography. Maybe some WWII veterans could have an excuse because there killing Nazis and were displaying their captures, no one today has any excuse.
You know what you call a non-white person wearing Nazi symbols? A Nazi.

- Comment on Anon makes a modern game 3 weeks ago:
A major complaint about modern movies is the prevalence of realistic lighting. Night scenes are getting so dark, you can’t see anything. This came up in a recent RLM review where they shared a story about some actor in an unrelated movie asking the director where the lighting was coming from in some night scene. The director said the lighting was coming from the same place as the music. It’s more important to convey an idea or feeling then it is to convey realism. For the media illiterate(like CinemaSins), it’s easier to complain about unrealism then it is to complain about meaning.

Ever notice how any time a Chinese app gets highlighted as being for data harvesting, there’s a bunch of people crawling out of the woodwork to claim “whatabout american apps!?”, but whenever an American app gets the same exposer, noone ever goes “whatabout Chinese apps apps!?”
Highly personalized, targeted ads are more dangerous because they can create tailor made political ads. This was happening with Cambridge Analytica and it’s why having any political discussion online is impossible anymore because you’re never really sure what the other person “knows” anymore. Before that shit, everyone got the same speeches, news and ads.
You also have the blackmail factor. I do consider Chinese officials getting blackmail material on American politicians and businesses more dangerous then American companies doing the same. It’s a small margin, but there is a difference.
The best I can do is minimize how much they get from me, give them bad data and block any ads. The few times I see targeted ads seems to imply they think I’m a conservative woman. Who the hell else would want Concern Carry Yoga Pants?
These data harvesting creating fake profiles to sell to ad companies are not my concern. Let these shit companies cheat each other.
- Comment on Who needs it? 4 weeks ago:
Considering the few times I’ve seen targeted ads, it’s never actually relevant to me, I doubt their profile of me is in anyway accurate.
I use blockers so facebook doesn’t know what websites I’m visiting.

- Comment on ‘Doom: The Dark Ages’ DRM Is Locking Out Linux Users Who Bought the Game 4 weeks ago:
Is Dark Ages really more grounded? What the hell does that mean here?
I had issues with Eternal demanding I use the weapons the way the devs intended, but when I saw parrying was a central part in Dark Ages, it was an easy decision to wait. Icon of Sin was peak because it was chaos management. I managed the Marauders, but just couldn’t be assed to beat the Dark Lord.
Good thing the indie scene is making their own Doom likes.

People just leave it on during dinner. Very few people care anymore, but it’s reliable ad venue for the channels.
The show should have been ended a long time ago and the writers and VAs could have moved on to new work, but networks are risk adverse
