- Comment on Softbank plans to cancel out angry customer voices using AI 4 months ago:
What the system should do is if a detects an angry tone, it repeats the customers voice back to them with a slight delay. It is basically impossible to talk like that. It’s like a bad phone call. Then once the person stops talking for a bit, it goes back to normal… I now want to make this system.
- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 6 months ago:
That’s very possible. I haven’t done in-depth research on it.
- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 6 months ago:
Addict/alcoholic 11 years sober. I got sober at a rehab and stayed sober through Alcoholics Anonymous. First, there’s a difference between chemical dependence and addiction. Often these things go hand in hand. Chemical dependence means your body will go through withdrawals if you stop taking in the substance. Something like weed has no chemical dependence aspect, but you can still be addicted to it. Heroin and alcohol can have heavy chemical dependence, and you can be addicted to those.
What AA teaches is not that alcohol is bad. Alcohol is a solution to the problem, but the solution no longer works. The base problem is I wanted to change the way I feel. AA creates a new way to change the way you feel in a healthy way.
If you look at it from that aspect, what you’re replacing is how you change how you feel. Personally, between ADHD and addiction, I very much display addictive behaviors to other things. Whether that’s hyperfixation or addiction, I’m not sure.
What I do know, is that I have no moderation to mind and mood altering substances. If they came out with a miracle pill and said, take one and your addiction will be gone forever, I’d ask for 2.

Completely off topic: I now dry all of my filament for about 10 hours in a cheap food dehydrator before I print. Print quality is 1000x better.
- Comment on Best deal you ever got? 6 months ago:
I’m not sure if it was the first time they ever did a free weekend for a game or not, but I played Day of Defeat: source and it never left my library. I think I lost that steam account at some point though.

I know there’s a tiktok named “donesandbums” or something like that. They just use a drone and film homeless people.

Krogers brand Mac n cheese is the best
- Comment on How does the day-to-day work of not wearing shoes in the house? 7 months ago:
Well my 250lbs upstairs neighbor makes the ceiling creak and groan, but the jackhammering they did to fix the slab on the apartment behind mine rattled my bed.
- Comment on The real personality test 7 months ago:
I say it in a very tired voice because I’ve already spent hours researching and trying to fix it myself.

I drop it. A lot.
- Comment on McCarthy Announces Formal Impeachment Inquiry Against Biden 1 year ago:
It’s to hurt his chances for re-election. As opposed to promoting what they’re good at, Republicans attack their opponent. Democrats do the same, just to a lesser degree. Although, Republicans attack high controversy topics with no evidence just to generate general outrage.
- Comment on People will forget what the covid signs looked like 1 year ago:
I worked for a company that started manufacturing masks (the N95 ones) during the pandemic and we still make and sell masks. I won’t be forgetting since I still work on the machines.
- Comment on Porn is harder to access 1 year ago:
Every porn site I’ve ever been too is loaded with ads so they can’t be too bad. I will admit almost every ad is for other porn sites/scams
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 1 year ago:
I love both of these. Sooo good.
- Comment on What game has a great story and is worth the time investment? 1 year ago:
I haven’t seen anyone mention BioShock. BioShock 1 and 2. I’ve heard mixed reviews about the third and haven’t played it so I’ll make no comment on it.
Prey is in the same vein as BioShock.
Dead space has some horror but is also good.
- Comment on What does this icon mean? 1 year ago:
I see it on all of your threads/comments. I haven’t noticed anyone else with emojis in their name, but I also haven’t been looking.
- Comment on What does this icon mean? 1 year ago:
Interesting. It shows up on all of your comments on this thread for me. I’m using liftoff.
- Comment on What does this icon mean? 1 year ago:
Did you somehow put an emoji in your name? It’s on your main profile also. So I believe it’s a part of your name as opposed to community/server related.
