  If this is successful, it will open the door to a whole new level of patent trolling.

  Hey buddy, remember back in 1982 when I came up with the idea for drawing triangles on the screen to make more complicated shapes? Remember when I came up with the idea for a meter that displays a virtual character’s current health level? Remember when I came up with the idea for using collectible coins as an in-game currency, and awarding extra in-game lives when the player collects enough?

  Yeah, a Sonic game with gameplay akin to Ori and the Blind Forest would be absolutely top-tier. Ori was largely focused on movement instead of combat, just like the side-scrolling Sonic games typically have been.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I lose a beer belly working out one day a week?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yup, weight management is 95% diet and 5% exercise. A single snickers bar takes a 12 minute mile of jogging to burn off; Our bodies are incredibly energy efficient. So if you’re looking to lose weight, it’s better to just skip the snickers bar altogether.

  Building muscle can raise your basal metabolic rate, (because you burn more calories to maintain that extra muscle) but even that is negligible when you consider how many calories you can consume without even realizing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk LIVE | Americans Erupt Against DOGE, Protests Outside US Treasury Building Snowball⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s a reminder that the Black Panthers got started because cops kept violently busting peaceful unarmed protests. People realized that the cops would send in the jackboots to bust unarmed protests… But they would politely watch heavily armed protests from across the street. So they began arming protestors.

  Turns out, firing into an unarmed crowd is super easy, but it’s not so easy when the entire crowd also has weapons. Maybe you take out a few with your initial attack, but you definitely didn’t get all of them and now they can return fire.

  It’s also why republicans started modern gun control with the Mulford Act. It was (at least at the time) the most restrictive gun control law the country had ever seen. When politicians saw armed protestors on their front porch, and saw cops entirely unwilling to stop it? They got really fucking sweaty really fucking fast. Ronald Reagan (yes, the same Reagan that conservatives love to put on a pedestal as the paragon of conservative policy) enacted the gun control law to disarm protestors and give cops justification to bust armed protests. Now, instead of busting the protest directly when it’s happening, cops could wait and quietly follow the protestors home, then kick in their front doors while they were eating dinner… Sound familiar?

  This pushed the armed protestors underground, and formed the Black Panthers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the weirdest argument you’ve overheard?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A hot dog is 100% a taco. The real debate is whether or not a hot dog/taco is a sandwich.

  To answer this, you first need to solve two other questions: First, what would you consider to be bread? Second, whether a sandwich requires two separate pieces of bread. Is a wrap a sandwich? Most would consider a tortilla to at least be a form of bread, but it’s only one piece. A gyro, made with flatbread? What if it’s one solid piece of bread that is totally sealed, like a hot pocket, calzone, or Asian dumpling? Is dumpling considered “bready” enough to count? Or do we not count it because it’s not leavened?

  And that brings us back to the taco argument. Do we consider a taco a sandwich? If we consider a wrap a sandwich, I would argue yes. Because the only functional difference between a taco and a wrap is how big the tortilla is. And if a taco is a sandwich, then a hot dog would also be considered a sandwich.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is this something you can say to a potential new manager? about giving report in a hospital when your shift ends⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  do you understand how tiring and ludicrous it is to pretend something you are not?

  Yes, I do it every day. My masking is so solid that I even struggle to drop it when I’m alone.

  Should we advice gays to pretend not being gay?

  Only tangentially related, because of all of the hard (being murdered, being trafficked, being kicked out of home by their parents, etc) persecution that gays have historically faced. In comparison, autistic persecution has been more of the “soft” (not getting hired, not fitting in, being seen as weird, etc) variety. It’s not really a good faith comparison, because “autistic pride” isn’t really a thing.

  It’s not my fault some of my coworkers stopped growing up immediately after leaving high school.

  And yet it would still affect your chances of getting hired and/or fitting in with your coworkers. It’s not your fault, but it is your problem to deal with. And (aside from uprooting the entire system and only hiring coworkers who will tolerate unmasked autism) masking is the most straightforward way to deal with it.

  I’m not saying it’s healthy in the long term. But that’s not what your post was about. Your post was about whether or not it would be a good idea to tell a potential employer that you hate listening to coworkers talk amongst themselves. If your goal is to get hired, then telling them that wouldn’t be a good idea. Because it would exclude you from being hired for “not being a good fit for the team.”

  I just want to work and go home.

  And finding a job like that is absolutely feasible… But expecting it out of every single coworker in a face-to-face job likely isn’t feasible. If that’s the vibe you’re going for, then maybe look into a work-from-home position, or something involving things instead of people. People like to prattle, especially about themselves.

  Yep, I was going to say something very similar. To be blunt, this post sounds autistic as hell. Nothing wrong with that, but (just from the way they described their interactions in the post) if OP isn’t masking then neurotypicals will likely see OP as rude, cold, or robotic.

  It will likely make teamwork difficult, because many people will likely try to avoid working with OP as a result. And a manager will pick up on that during the interview process if OP says everything they did in the post. When a manager is hiring, they’re not just looking at skills or training; They’re also looking to see if you’ll be a good fit for the team.

  Neurodivergent people tend to get weeded out during this process, because managers don’t want to deal with employees not wanting to work together. Is it petty? Yes. Is it blatant ableism? Yes. Is it illegal? Yes, but nothing will ever be done about it unless they’re dumb enough to say they’re refusing you specifically because you’re autistic.

  There’s also the chance that they’d just hunker down and outlast it. Giving them a definite timeline gives them a light at the end of the tunnel. After 10 days, it’s just business as usual again. A general strike without a posted timeline would lead to capitulation within only a few days. It wouldn’t even take all 10 days.

  Kidney stones don’t suck just because they hurt. They suck because you don’t know how long they’re going to hurt for. They hurt until you have passed the stone, and you have no idea how long that will take. The pain is analogous to a muscle cramp. People can grit their teeth and bear it if they know it’s just a muscle cramp and will end soon. But when it has been six days and you don’t have any idea how much longer it will last, it makes you desperate.

  There’s a reason two of the biggest rules of online purchasing are “never use your real name” and “never accept a package you have to sign for.” Doesn’t matter if you just bought $5k in drugs; The seller won’t require a signature on delivery.

  If the delivery guy wants a signature, they’re an undercover cop and you bought from a honeypot (or they sniffed your package in the mail sorting room and intercepted it.) The UC wants you to put ink on paper accepting the package as yours, to prove you bought it. Because otherwise your lawyer can go “how do we know my client ordered it? It didn’t have their name on it! It was probably a neighbor getting it delivered to a nearby house, and the prosecution hasn’t proved beyond a reasonable doubt that my client actually purchased the drugs.”

  Ragnarok is fine if you’re playing on the actual screen. But if you’re gonna hook it up to a monitor, be prepared to see edge jaggies or get lots of frame lag; The SD can’t keep a steady frame rate on anything above Low settings. Low is fine on the built in screen cuz it’s too small to really make a difference. But on a large TV, it makes a big difference.

  They ended up developing a rudimentary sign language based on facial expressions and gestures. Because the women who were taking care of them were strictly instructed to never speak… But they were never given any instructions regarding facial expressions or gestures. So the kids learned that was how to communicate.

  Worse. I’m convinced that Rockstar only keeps the servers running because nobody knows which ones they are among the sea of GTA5 servers. The game has been entirely abandoned by the devs, because it never took off like GTA5 did.

  Hacking in RDO isn’t just rampant; It’s downright expected. If you’re not hacking, you’ll constantly get blown up from across the map by people with unlimited explosive ammo, no reloads, and auto-aim. The bare minimum requirement is an unlimited health hack, just so you can survive the cross-map snipes long enough to finish a mission or two.

  That’s why I was upfront about it being pop. It’s interesting to hear the way they pull inspiration from different genres, because their instrumentation below the pop is almost always top tier.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon discovers Japanese jazz⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re looking for something more pop-like, with heavy jazz influences, consider checking out Zutomayo. It’s a rotating cast of masked musicians, (the vocalist is the only permanent member), with some heavy big band and jazz underscoring it. The instrumentation is actually phenomenal, especially for a group that has the pop so front and center. For instance, the bass line from this (especially the solo around the 1:30 mark) could put many bass players to shame the first time they try it.

  And that’s why I mentioned random drug tests. You don’t always get the luxury of knowing you’ll be tested days in advance. And yes, it’s easy to say “just don’t do drugs while on probation” but the sad reality is that drugs are surprisingly easy to get in prison. It’s common for many people to become addicted while incarcerated, (because it’s one of the few respites they get while incarcerated prison) and then they piss hot after being let out on probation, and get thrown right back in again. It’s a cycle that the system has intentionally set up, to ensure prisons are perpetually full.
