- Comment on Is it safe to assume the guy i went out on a date with, just wants to sleep with me? 1 day ago:
Yes, he is her senior by quite a bit. He would be compelled to pay under these circumstances.
I’m American and we dont have such strict cultural roles, but at 37, I would have absolutely treated my much younger friends or coworkers in any 1 on 1 situation that I initiated.

Huzzah! Looking forward to this one.

Who’s allowing it because of the time waiting? Are they in the room with us? >.>
- Comment on I'm very Jesus-like 5 weeks ago:
Wether it’s acceptable or not is irrelevant to scrolling through social media or the existence of memes, moth or otherwise. Seeing some memes after years of people endlessly posting about the various conflicts, (because you are tripping hard of you think ko one has been talking about the genocide on this website…) doesn’t imply anyone thinks its “acceptable” to allow it (or is allowing it?).

In this case, at least lately, it less a brush stroke and more of a high resolution camera.
Once you support extremists, the argument of nuance becomes almost irrelevant to the rest of their victims.

It’s a nasty can of worms that never should have been opened.
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 2 months ago:
All this also doesn’t take into account how creators gets paid.
It’s a big system, with enough moving parts that I understand the ad/pay model existing. I just wish they weren’t such prices about how they choose to operate it sometimes.
- Comment on i truly believe that there's an open war between Humanity vs. Advertisers and their allies. 2 months ago:
I agree. Everything being advertised on YouTube is sketch. Same with all the repeated podcast adverts honestly.
The fact that youtube hits me with an ad for a game that says everyone thinks its fake, with the most bullshit sounding voice over, tells me they are happy to take money for obvious scam products.

It does ruin most things doesn’t it? 😮💨

😆 And here I was think I wasn’t giving anyone any credit. I just proclaimed none of us could be trusted!
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 3 months ago:
I think the fundamental problem with the AR glasses is something that can’t be overcome.
I think its easy to see the utility to owning a pair of glasses that look good and provide real time information as desired for what you are looking at or hearing.
HOWEVER, I think very few people will want the product these co.panies will make. This will be a method to throw ads literally in front of your eyeballs. Enshitification is too big of a thing now and so any new product is tainted by the expectation it will rapidly turn to garbage at a high price to you.
Also, while we may think we can be trusted, we dont trust anyone else having all that info, I dont like the obvious privacy implications that these can present. Filming with them is also terrifying.

I was getting a stable 30fps on mid settings. Having played at home at much higher resolution, I see you lose a lot, but its still very playable.

It plays well on the steam deck day 1 as well, if that matters to anyone here. I played the first 2 hours on my deck from work with no issues.
Shaders took like 10 minutes but the rest of the load times were all fine.

Exactly! I dont give shit if he killed people on camera and confessed to a crowd. He has to go to court.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 4 months ago:
1 point for me as well, but I had never recorded radio to a cassette. Same age.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 months ago:
It was significantly harder to set up remote access for Jellyfin than Plex 6 months ago. I ha ent attempted since. With Plex there was literally no set up, it just works. Until it just works without having to do any extra work, Jellyfin will struggle with adoption.
I have both running, and thatd a big difference to me. Also I prefer the way Plex detects intros and credits for skipping and their detection for captions. Once that’s all sorted Jellyfin wins in every field.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 months ago:
I do this too but it only works on my home network not remotely.
- Comment on Plex is locking remote streaming behind a subscription in April 4 months ago:
With the caviat that you have tailscale enabled on both devices. This prevents it from being used on a roku outside your home but you could access it remotely from your computer/phone/tablet.
It is significantly harder than Plex, currently. There are improvements happening all the time though.

It’s always this. History has borne it out.

Honestly, I think that the kid cages is much worse. The kids didn’t make any of the decisions that put them in that position. They should be treated far better.

I was pleased that he didn’t perv out, like so many other Hi-Dive shows are prone to do.

I’m in the same boat. They’ve all been good. I didnt hear about this one before stumbling on it last night and my wife and I laughed for like 5 minutes with it paused once we saw the show title and understood what it was.
We feel that this show will be more enjoyable, the more familiar you are with the genre as a whole. Similar to how One Punch Man benefited from already having a high exposure to super hero/kaijin materials.
- Comment on Solidigm pulls out of consumer SSD market with discontinuation of drives 6 months ago:
Literally never heard of them. With all the random bullahit companies dumping crap into the market, if you don’t have good name recognition these days, it’s just assumed you are some random Chinese product clone with dubious quality.
This is fine when I purchased my knockoff Dyson vacuum that still works great, but I wouldn’t trust all my data to a company I dont recognize.

Very excited for this one to come back.
- Comment on "From Old Country Bumpkin to Master Swordsman" New Key Visual, PV 8 months ago:
I thought of exactly the same anime. They were both fun, but not amazing. I’ll give it a watch. I conceptually enjoy the “old guy” shows but I haven’t seen one I felt like rewatching. Sasaki and Peeps is the closest with that theme I really enjoyed.

Would filbert also be an acceptable answer?
- Comment on What is your best isekai anime? 8 months ago:
Every one you mentioned is great! I really enjoy all of the villainess isekai, and Trapped in a Dating Sim is really a hilarious variation that came early in the dating sim sub genre. I love it when the main character is a villain.
- Comment on What is your best isekai anime? 8 months ago:
Ascendance of a Bookworm is a favorite of my wife and I. We’ve rewatched it a few times, as it has a cozy feel to it sometimes. I really hope they continue the story but it is at a decent enough stopping point if doesn’t get any more seasons.
