  Man I literally have an extra unused chimney on my house that I don’t want and it would probably cost me just as much to get rid of it.

  I dunno. Maybe it’s not called shit when it’s still inside you? Like a magma/lava situation?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A few issues I have with that:

  • Who decides what is “adult content?” Sure, today it’s boobies and penetration, but a year from now it’s Michelangelo’s David and Botticelli‘s Birth of Venus. A few years later it’s any text containing anything but male-female couples, and then anything that criticizes The State. Once you open the door to internet censorship, you won’t shut it again.

  • How will they ensure anonymity while still establishing viable age verification? If I have to give personal identifiable information to establish my age, then they will forever be able to track me - see what sites I visit, what I read, what I buy, who I communicate with. The internet suddenly becomes a lot less accessible when I know I’m being followed everywhere I go online.

  • Not all sites will be able to age-verify, and they will be able to stop all the sites which don’t. Suddenly all the seedier, less reputable, more dangerous, and darker sites get more attention. The cultural impact that could cause would be horrifying (hell, how much influence did 4-Chan have in making trump appealing to certain demographics?) Sure, governments can play “whack-a-mole” all the live-long day, crushing those sites, but they’ll just pop back up, or more like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What’s even the appeal of Linux?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly don’t know. Every OS has its goods & bads. But generally I think it just comes down to whatever’s available. Personally, I use:
  Windows on my work laptop (because that’s what they gave me),
  MacOS on my personal laptop (because I like it),
  Ubuntu on my home automation / media server (because it was free).

  I once traded someone my PS3 for his PS4.
  I traded up, and he had two PS4s and no PS3 and he wanted one of each. It was a win-win.

  The Filter song Hey Man Nice Shot is about what’s in that bag.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going back to play Mario Kart 8 on my Switch 1 when everyone else has a Switch 2, FOMO⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I play MK8 against my kid, and never realized that the choice of carts makes a difference. Do the tires and glider make a difference too? I always just used the Mii Mercedes.

  I rarely play it with him anymore, he prefers “Wreckfest” - which is a lot of fun too, but I find MK8 more challenging.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Have you encountered this?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like there may be some missing information. For example, if the customer had a coupon or other discount. The tip should be a percentage of the total before the discount. If they’re “adjusting” to tip less- based on the post-coupon price, fuck them.

  When I was a teen working at Little Caesar’s, we set up a giant elastic band in our back door, and would launch our expired dough balls at the Burger King drive-thru window across the street. Then they’d call us and yell. Fun times.

  Replace rain with “more stew ingredients” and you’re describing Perpetual Stew - a soup that is forever cooking, forever being eaten, forever being added to.

  When I was a kid, we used to keep the plastic bags from bread once we ate the loaf and in winter we’d line our boots with them. To keep our socks dry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well if you’re comparing 333 Commerce St building (topped out in 1993) with Barad-dûr, as depicted in Peter Hackson’s “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy (released in 2001-2093), then you maybe should ask why Peter Jackson’s art inspiration (specifically illustrator Alan Lee) based their depiction of Sauron’s tower in the AT&T building (although maybe the architect of the building in Nashville did also draw their inspiration from Alan Lee’s art).

  I could find no other depiction of Barad-dûr prior to Jackson’s which had that same forked design, most artists drew a sinister-looking but traditionally spired tower design, with the eye peering through a window to some effect.

  Tolkien’s book describes the tower like this:

  “Then at last his gaze was held: wall upon wall, battlement upon battlement, black tower of adamant, he saw it: Barad-dûr, Fortress of Sauron. All hope left him… …and then he saw, rising black, blacker and darker than the vast shades amid which it stood, the cruel pinnacles and iron crown of the topmost tower of Barad-dûr. One moment only it stared out, but as from some great window immeasurably high there stabbed northward a flame of red, the flicker of a piercing Eye”

  No mention of the two-prong fork design that I could find.
