It’s not a language thing, they do it to be quirky…
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 5 days ago:
Whole lot of really serious replies but I think it’d be better to spin your original statement as a joke/exaggeration/misinterpretation"
“I love my job but let’s be real - if I didn’t have bills to pay, I’d be chilling on a beach instead!”
“I love working here - but my role specifically. I’m very happy in my position and don’t see myself as CEO one day or anything.”
- Comment on Move Fast and Break Nothing | Waymo’s robotaxis are probably safer than ChatGPT. 6 days ago:
Sure. But it’s not like the technology they developed is useless outside of an autonomous city, I’m sure they went into it knowing it would never be implemented for real.
- Comment on Move Fast and Break Nothing | Waymo’s robotaxis are probably safer than ChatGPT. 6 days ago:
Years ago, Microsoft was doing some R&D on autonomous vehicles in a mock city built for it. Instead of each vehicle doing all of the processing, the fake city was built with wireless markers to GIVE the car the information. Like instead of having to “see” a stop sign, the stop sign told cars it was there.
It would be complicated and expensive to implement on a mass scale but I thought it was a really cool idea.
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 1 week ago:
Got any workshop recommendations? I tried a few right after beating the game but found them lackluster. I’m guessing there’s a lot more now
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 1 week ago:
Each level has multiple things to steal/destroy but once you pick up/destroy the first thing, the alarm goes off and a timer starts.
The gameplay is mostly setting up the heist. You break holes in walls, build bridges, set up chain reactions, etc to find a route that picks up everything and escape in time. You have limited ammo but you get unlimited spray paint to mark the path for yourself
I know some people hate it but my only complaint is that some of the DLC is pretty meh. Base game is a blast, though!
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 1 week ago:
I feel the same way but mainly I don’t like playing “wait and think” games online because of the pressure
Teardown is a fun single player heist game, not that you asked for suggestions. Kind of want to play it again now hmmm…
- Comment on Should my character be 21-23? 1 week ago:
You should put this in a writing community instead, questions like this aren’t really what this com is for
- Comment on Costco Confirms It's Removed Xbox Consoles, Calling It A "Business Decision" 1 week ago:
My friend’s dad owns a business (trade work, not even selling products) that has contracts with both Costco and Amazon and said the same thing. For Amazon at least, he can’t send proposals or bills - everything is done through an Amazon vendor portal. And he gets paid every time he crosses a threshold, not per job.
When you’re that big, you can just make everyone follow your rules.
- Comment on Would-be City of Heroes successor, Ship of Heroes, decides to launch the MMO with a $45 price tag and a $15 monthly subscription and it's, er, going about as well as you'd expect 2 weeks ago:
Not only is it still running on private servers, those private servers have the blessing of the original devs. If I’m remembering correctly, they even provided the admins some dev tools and code
- Comment on The Wikipedia page for the fediverse describes a den of iniquity 2 weeks ago:
The crappiness of this section has been noted
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 3 weeks ago:
Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth. Picked up the previous game on sale and really liked it. This game is a major improvement on combat but a step backwards everywhere else IMO.
(Spoilers?) You play half the game as Kasuga, the main character of the last game. The other half, you’re the main character of some of the older Yakuza games. I do not like this. I get in the groove with one party right as it forced me to the other for the next chapter.
Also, a ton of the side quests for the other char are “remember this from the old games??”
- Comment on The Left Wants Violence! 3 weeks ago:
I usually agree with you but I’m not with you on this one. Unless the goal is an actual civil war, his death is just the silver lining on his murder. Just handing the GOP a year’s worth of ammo for free.
One step forward, two steps back
- Comment on The Left Wants Violence! 3 weeks ago:
OC said “opposing views” and it’s absolutely not leftist to bring violent against opinions. There’s nothing left about murdering a podcast host.
The world is probably a better place with him gone but a leftist should know eliminating an extremely minor player doesn’t win us the game.
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 3 weeks ago:
I was moreso asking about the values that used to (but no longer) exist in the republican party as the main change I see is the willingness to let the mask slip.
Though I am still confused why you consider yourself a conservative when you support all those progressive ideas! I am not a conservative but we seem to agree on a whole lot
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 3 weeks ago:
I hadn’t considered the Electoral College thing so I’ll give you that…but the rest of the list, aside from the supreme court thing which is non-partisan, are things conservatives (famously) fought against.
Are you sure you’re conservative? If you really hold those ideals, I think you might actually be progressive…
- Comment on Do you think conservative feel the same need to burn it all down as everyone else felt when trump won again? 3 weeks ago:
The only thing to do is push back, and try to save what can be saved.
Not trying to bait here but what do you want to save and how far back are you going to find something worth saving? Some aspects of fiscal conservatism have their merits but I’m stumped thinking of any good socially-conservative opinions from the past hundred years
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve had several jobs since then and met a few lifelong friends but the point is none of that matters when you’re on the clock. Don’t get involved in the drama and don’t date your coworkers (unless you work in hospitality, I guess)
- Comment on thick skinned employees, how can you be so thick skinned? 4 weeks ago:
After the resulting shit from being friends with my coworkers at my first “real” job, I avoid work socialization as much as possible. I’ve been with my currently company for 3 years and have only given my number to 3 people…two of which just wanted pictures of my dog since I stopped using Instagram.
Nobody knows me that well and I like it that way. Nobody asks me to fix their computer, nobody shares the latest gossip. If they try, I say “oh wow” and then look back at my screen
- Comment on What is the first electronic device kids get these days? (Desktop, Laptop, Tablet, Phone, Game consoles?) 4 weeks ago:
My nephew got one of those smart watches for kids. There’s no real games, the camera sucks, and he can only contact and be contacted by approved numbers but it’s nice to have.
I like getting his goofy texts, too
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now 5 weeks ago:
Sounds like the genre’s just not for you. I also don’t enjoy games like this BUT it’s not wasting time if you’re having fun
- Comment on @jack_toohey on why the housing crisis is not caused by migration 5 weeks ago:
What generally happens to prices when there’s a high demand and a low supply
- Comment on @jack_toohey on why the housing crisis is not caused by migration 5 weeks ago:
What do you think “property” is in this context?
They are buying homes and not renting them out. Holding them as an investment and/or making money off them on Airbnb.
- Comment on Australia | Man arrested after allegedly ramming car through front gates of Russian consulate in Sydney 5 weeks ago:
He was on a special 3-minute vehicular operation so they should have just given him the consulate
- Comment on Hollow Knight: Silksong Will Release for Only $20, Release Times Revealed 5 weeks ago:
I don’t really like games like this (I know Hollow Knight is a masterpiece if you do) but I’d be tempted to buy it for $20 just to support the studio
- Comment on Taylor Swift’s new album comes in cassette. Who is buying those? 1 month ago:
One of the biggest artist in the world using cassettes feels like cultural appropriation lol
- Comment on Get to know the robot dog that can clean your house and serve you soda 1 month ago:
Yeah, not connecting the AI Robo Dog 2026 to the Internet will surely work. Corporations like this love to give users control like that, right? You probably don’t even have to sign up for an account
- Comment on Why the skibidi are you adding skibidi to the Cambridge Dictionary? We think it has "staying power", answer word boffins 1 month ago:
They did it so articles like this would be written about them. Easy advertising
Like the time “bootylicious” was added. A word everyone stopped using a year later
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 1 month ago:
At least that has SOME justification since there’s a cellular connection and servers involved
- Comment on If I invented a shirt that caused cameras to be damaged when filmed/photographed, would I be committing a crime by wearing the shirt at events with cameras? 1 month ago:
I rolled my eyes at your optimism that such a material would exist but I took it all back by the end. Despite it being incredibly niche and unrealistic, that is by far the most clever suggestion in the thread!
