This is a great question because if you’re not familiar with wireless communication, it does make sense

I definitely will, I liked the last one! I just wanted to clear up what the scandal was - it wasn’t something anyone could think creators should have seen coming
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 1 week ago:
Another thing even the most cynical person can easily see is extortion!
- Comment on Honey Targeted Minors & Exploited Small Businesses 1 week ago:
I know we’re all jaded nerds on this corner of the internet that are well aware of “if you’re not paying, etc. etc.”
Haven’t watched this video but IIRC the real scandal was that the extension would change the cookie to identify Honey as your referrer so the content creators whose referral you actually used didn’t get paid. No matter how jaded you are, you can see that as the theft it is

Hackernews is a VC-funded website for techbros who want to feel like they’re cool and smarty hackers. It has an even higher percentage of know-it-alls than reddit. MBAs who got into it for the money.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 1 week ago:
Ok you seem like an expert on this so I’ll just trust you that there is not an aspect of popular male culture that makes many men lonely. It’s just social media incels.
The average adult man definitely socializes just as much as the average man. You’ve found that old guys have as many friends as old women in your research, right? There haven’t been studies about this going back decades or anything - it’s all incels on social media. My bad.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 1 week ago:
You’re conflating things here. Terminally-online incels are often racist, would you say racism is nothing but a construct of the incel social media?
I do agree that it gets weaponized by grifters and misinterpreted by many more but you are contributing to the problem by acting like it’s an idea spawned from bitter dudes online or that it’s an idea inseparable from misogyny.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 1 week ago:
Ironically, dismissing it as just an incel thing is EXACTLY the problem. It’s not about women at all, it’s about friendship. And the social norm predates the internet, social media just exacerbated it (and for many women, too)
It can be hard for guys to make friends when they’ve lived their whole life in a “just man up” environment. I didn’t grow up in one of those and I still struggle to be vulnerable around my friends. I’m not an incel, it was just never taught to me so I had to figure it out myself.
The point of talking about the male loneliness epidemic is not to complain but to retire that type of male culture. Encourage men to be there for each other, put themselves out there, meet people and make friends.

I loved firmware modding on pre-smart phones! My first eBay purchase ever (with the help of my parents) was a USB cable for the ridiculously large port on my flip phone. I blew my friends’ minds with my custom text on the front panel

Read what he posted. He said the series is against sexual misconduct which is what I’m “debunking”
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 2 weeks ago:
The Like A Dragon Series has a long-standing history of opposing sexual misconduct in all its forms
This is why I commented
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 2 weeks ago:
Did you read what he wrote…? He claims hiring this guy goes against the messaging in the games. The messaging in the last game included “rape is comedic topic when it happens to a man”
Of course it’s different to actual assault but it’s pretty sick that you’re defending it as an acceptable form of humor.
- Comment on As new Yakuza announcements dropped, top walkthrough writing guy in anglosphere refuses to play these at all 2 weeks ago:
The main character of Like A Dragon: Infinite Wealth gets sexually assaulted several times during the side quests. From kissing to sex, it’s always verbally and physically non-consensual. He gets strapped to a table in one of them.
But it’s women doing it so it’s funny, I guess

I am just about done with this game (4 achievements) and highly recommend it. Only 8.5/10 for me but easily one of the best narratives in gaming history.

That sounds great. It’s like people on the internet don’t know how to start a conversation anymore. Can’t just say “man I’m struggling with my ADHD lately,” they gotta post every decade-old meme from their
personalitymeme folder so people can reply with “haha same”A new social media site doesn’t mean new content, it’s just a new bucket to fill up with the same shit from every other platform.
(I feel obligated to point out that PugJesus is generally an exception for my meme hatred because he includes descriptions/context for the history memes he posts and I actually get something out of it. Shout out to PJ)

I’ve finished BG3 4 times by myself and failed to make it past the first act in a group 5 or 6 times.
Love the game (obviously) but I found it PAINFUL to play in a group. Especially combat, having multiple people making decisions meant it was more waiting and reacting than planning. And planning is my favorite part!

I’m sorry to have been exposed to your troubles, watson. You got thoroughly dunked on and are probably really upset

Oh damn didn’t know I was arguing with a literal child, my bad.
You’re really back to “you’re lying,” though? Guess I was right about your inability (or decision not to) read.
I hope you think about this thread later. Do some self reflection, bud. Ask yourself why you lashed out. What did you feel when presented with the evidence that you were wrong? Why did you keep digging your heels in when you realized that they did indeed used to offer a paid license that was separate from Plex Pass? Why insult the intelligence of the people teaching you?
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 4 weeks ago:
Hilarious. From “you’re lying” to “it doesn’t matter anyway”! Are you by chance employed by Plex?
It’s relevant to the conversation at hand. There has been literally no crying, just acknowledging that Plex changes their terms even if you paid in full.
You are the only one with elevated emotions. Perhaps it’s time for some chamomile tea and a nice little nap.
- Comment on Netflix kills casting from phones 4 weeks ago:
You’re right that downvotes don’t change facts. And the fact is that Plex used to sell a license for phone streaming
Here’s an official post referencing its removal since you’re too pigheaded to accept that you’re wrong
Our Android and iOS mobile apps previously required a one-time activation fee or Plex Pass to remove the one-minute playback limitation when streaming content from a Plex Media Server.
