- Comment on Yo, fire fox what the fuck? 1 week ago:
Hey everybody hates pop ups; no shade there. And I get it, when you’re neck deep in whatever game you’re paying it sucks to have interruptions. But calling it dystopian is cray cray. Sorry, not sorry. 😂
- Comment on Yo, fire fox what the fuck? 1 week ago:
Is it that a popup notification occurred during your full screen game? Or that it’s Firefox making the popup? I’m confused what makes this dystopian.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 2 weeks ago:
That’s disappointing. While I don’t personally condone the use of that word, we’re all adults here and should be able to just downvote or rebut or whatever without censorship. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 2 weeks ago:
Looking at it strictly from your perspective, it doesn’t make sense does it? But, keep in mind that there are a lot of people who share the same view (regardless of how correct or wrong they may be to you). And when those people gather together and start validating each other, yes your brain releases more dopamine. And when someone is addicted to a substance (even dopamine), we will try to seek out those same triggers so we can continue to get that hit.
The problem with addiction is that our biology holds a tolerance to it, so we need more of said substance to get the same high as before. So we need to escalate the things we do. And when we don’t get those hits, our physiology causes us to experience pain. And what do you do when you’re in pain? Hopefully you stop doing whatever it is that causes you pain. It’s a vicious cycle; a feedback loop if you will.
Now I have a question for you: did you actually type out
Censoredor did you say a “bad” word? - Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 2 weeks ago:
Yes. Dopamine is a helluva drug.

- Comment on Cooling stuff does not require any energy! 4 weeks ago:
But keeping things cool itself doesnt need any energy
My electric bill disproves this statement. Otherwise, why would we need electrical devices that remove heat from things?
- Comment on The age of adulthood should be 21 and the age of consent should be 25 across the world 4 weeks ago:
Congrats! You’ve reached full boomer status. Would you like some tapioca pudding?
- Comment on TV/MA 'High School' teen drama shows should be set in college and centered around young adults or adults. 4 weeks ago:
In my experience, “young adult” refers to a specific stage in life, and takes place directly after teenage, but before your 30s (i.e. 20-30). In fact, the fact that the word adult is in “young adult” does imply that they are adults, just more to their larval stage.

It’s a shame he never had the pleasure of Bradford Pear trees in the spring. 🤢 🤮
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Here’s how I approach old and slow:
- Older software is mature and battle tested. It’s been around long enough that the developers should know what they’re doing, and have built a strong community for help and support.
- Slow is okay when it comes to accuracy. Would I love to back up my gigabytes (peanuts compared to some of you folks out there with data centers in your attics) in seconds? Yes. But more importantly, I’d rather have my data be valid for if I ever need to do any kind of restore. And I’ve been around the block enough times in my career to see many useless backups.
- Comment on YSK When you hover over a piece of the phonetic notation on (English) Wikipedia, it shows you an example for its pronunciation 5 weeks ago:
If that’s not divisive in today’s political climate, I don’t know what is.

In addition to a sleep study, talk to your doctor about POTS.

My guess is that they are making their own WiFi chip and it’s growing pains.

- Comment on Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong. 1 month ago:
Another way to think about it is to say that education is the memorization of knowledge, while intelligence is the application of said knowledge. i.e. book smarts vs. street smarts. They aren’t the same things, but are two building blocks that work together.
At least that’s how I look at it.

- Comment on GitHub introduces hybrid post-quantum SSH security to better protect Git data in transit 1 month ago:
If you were like me and not sure what “post-quantum SSH security” means, you should read this. TL;DR it’s an algorithm believed to be unbreakable by quantum computers.
- Comment on A lot of people make the mistake of thinking they have real life plot armour 1 month ago:
👆
This. Don’t ever let anyone ever convince you that you’re an NPC in your life. You may not be someone else’s main character, but that’s okay. You are yours.
~Believe me when I say there is nothing more debilitating than losing your sense of self in your life.~
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 1 month ago:
It’s quite possible these men have reached the Nirvana of being thick-skinned. If so, we all should be in awe, as that is a rare thing to achieve. It also could be that men are not allowed to show emotion, and would otherwise be condemned if they complained or didn’t “take it like a man”; especially being around a lot of women where they feel even more pressured to show up and be a man.
- Comment on Alternative to github pages? 1 month ago:
Codeberg is not just for static websites. It’s for FOSS projects. Their FAQ addresses this.
- Comment on 4th dimension doesn't exist because even 1D or 2D themselves are not real. 2 months ago:
Personally, and take this with a grain of salt, I feel like you’re overthinking it. Everything at some level is just an abstraction of something else. So what. Dimensional exist whether you acknowledge them or not. 🤷♂️

And I guarantee some organization will figure out how to use this for some police state bullshit.
