- Comment on Is flirting redundant? 16 hours ago:
Flirting is a means of communicating that a person likes another person. If no one flirted, then meeting people would be even more difficult than it already is.

Beer is made from water. So drink more “water”. 😉
- Comment on Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1% 3 days ago:
I have a dentist office near me that also offers Botox. There’s also a boulevard that has a billboard advertising it. My area is not exactly considered the most affluent of areas.

Body Dysmorphia is real, and will trick a person into seeing themselves very differently than everyone else. American Dad did an episode on this once.

Sometimes the best response is no response at all. Silence can be deafening.

You are allowed, and sometimes encouraged, to not say anything.

Yes, blame the consumers yet again when we all know corporations are the biggest climate offenders.

- Comment on Israel once again openly declaring genocidal intentions against civilians from the very start. 1 week ago:
General rule of thumb: if you have to resort to emotional name calling, you’re in the wrong; even if your initial argument is factually correct, the moment you let your emotions take over is the moment you’ve lost your argument.
And no, I am in no way saying this person’s argument is factually correct; especially since his argument is based on hypocrisy.
- Comment on Spaniards packing water guns blame impact of mass tourism for housing crunch 1 week ago:
Yes, let’s blame and attack the tourists, and not hold the government and local economy responsible for bringing in the tourists.
What is with everyone feeling entitled to be assholes to everyone these days? (Rhetorical)
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 1 week ago:
A lot of technology has been repurposed for other uses than what they were mutually designed. What’s to stop the operators from using such a high def satellite to spy on people?

- Comment on YSK: Bluetooth Controller Lag in Retroarch Can Be Fixed With Game Mode on TV and a Few Settings in Retroarch 1 week ago:
If it were 25-30 years ago, when there was a risk of physically damaging (i.e. blowing up) hardware, and I’d agree with you. But in this case, the worst is manage is to have to reconfigure things back to their defaults.
As for retroarch, what would be your suggested alternative?
- Comment on YSK: Bluetooth Controller Lag in Retroarch Can Be Fixed With Game Mode on TV and a Few Settings in Retroarch 1 week ago:
I’ll be the first to admit I have no idea how any of what I posted works, but I do know it works. Maybe the tv game mode didn’t do anything for my Bluetooth, and maybe the other settings I changed did. All I do know is my gaming experience is so much more responsive now. And if any of this helps other people, then all the more better. 🤷♂️

It has been amazing. I’ve been playing Faxanadu all day, and before I found out the game mode on my TV, it was hit or miss if I could make the jumps. Now I feel like id never have gotten so far in the game because of the tricky jumps. And all with an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller (sn30).

Goddamnit, err, Ke$hadamnit. This is how religions get started. - Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 2 weeks ago:
Look I’m just as jaded, exhausted, and sick of this tyrannical bullshit as you are, but at the same time we’ve got to start somewhere. And if we can maybe make things (financially) uncomfortable for the people in charge, then so be it.
A foreign news organization is more likely able to make things uncomfortable than you or me.
We’ve got to start somewhere. We’ve got to start, and never stop.

Taxpayers are footing the bill regardless. That should never be a deterrent for holding the bad guys responsible for their behavior.

Jokes aside, I hope she and Australia sue them into oblivion.

It’s called flirting. Or maybe he asked her out and she rejected him. It really could go both ways.
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t usually feel one way or the other about other people’s upvotes/downvotes.
But I try to use my upvotes/downvotes as a barometer for how well something I posted or commented on was received by the community. If I’m being massively downvoted, I will try to consider what about my post or comment warranted the negative reaction, and I might reconsider what I said, or at least how I said it. If something is upvoted, it does give me the warm fuzzies knowing that other people agreed with, or enjoyed, my content.
- Comment on uBlockOrigin is porting uBOL to iOS 2 weeks ago:
Yes, it is voluntary. But, in the case of PayPal, they care about their BBB rating. And, that’s a Good Thing™.
- Comment on uBlockOrigin is porting uBOL to iOS 2 weeks ago:
Pro Tip for PayPal: in the (hopefully unlikely) event that PayPal sides with the seller, contact the BBB and complain.
I had an issue with a seller on eBay claiming they shipped me an iPad, but it was not to my address. It was considered delivered so both eBay and PayPal decided they wanted to wash their hands of my complaint and not honor their guarantees. This was in spite of the postmaster sending them a letter acknowledging that the package was not delivered to me. Once I filed a complaint with the BBB, PayPal was quick to resolve my issue with a refund.

If you pay to help the kid when they are young, there is more of a chance they will grow up to be a contributing healthy member of society.
Those in power do lot want a co tribute healthy member of society. They want malleable, docile workers that will do as they’re told and not challenge the system.
- Comment on United Nazis 2 weeks ago:
Someone correct me if I’m wrong, but doesn’t the agreement with war crimes make you a sympathizer? The act of being a sympathizer is deplorable, but not illegal. I feel like a lot of people take their name-calling to the extremes these days.
