• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are Street Racers "bad people"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. It puts other people - uninvolved, innocent people - in mortal danger. Also it puts other people’s property in danger. It’s selfish and ignorant.

  Easy. Just win the WBotY award. We have open sign-ups every spring.

  I once asked my dad if he’d ever buy a boat. He asked me why he would want to buy “a hole in the water to throw money into.”

  Yeah, and according to those mean kids on Xbox Live, it’s me.

  I was going to say nitrogen but didn’t want to come off as too pedantic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨everyone talks about chip bags being 50% wasted space but no one talks about creamed corn cans being 50% wasted space⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The cans are sold by weight of the content, not size of the can.
  Other reasons they may be putting the small amount in a larger can (since padding isn’t an issue):

  • that’s the size of cans they have on hand from the factory.
  • packing/shipping & stacking/displaying that standard can size might be more cost effective.
  • They want dupe customers into thinking they’re getting more for their money.

  I hate having to repeat this over & over, but chip bags are NOT 50% wasted space. They’re 50% larger than their contents, and then filled with 50% air for extra padding, so you don’t get a bag of crumbs.

  You pay for the weight of the chips in the bag, not the amount of fullness.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come butthole scratches doesn't get infected with poop bacteria ?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re talking about open anus wounds. The current American government is especially relevant, since the sitting president is an open anus wound gifted with the ability to speak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bamboozled!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  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 ⁨It's weird that we "take a shit". I don't know what other people are doing, but i definitely leave a shit, not take it⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Make a shit

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.

  I like to imagine that This song was playing when he was catching them fists.

  …with his face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Going back to play Mario Kart 8 on my Switch 1 when everyone else has a Switch 2, FOMO⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ 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.
