I see everyone else has tried to improve the Golden Rule and completely missed your attempt to add a kill the killers loophole.
- Comment on Looking for a PC FPS with deep gunplay, where NPC enemies are humans 1 day ago:
How realistic does it need to be? If you’re down with being a Space Cowboy, Borderlands 2 is the best in the series. (So far. I’m still working on 4, and 2 should be cheap enough that it won’t be a huge waste if it’s not your style)
- Comment on There are no laws! We made the whole thing up! 1 day ago:
By far, society is more moral than it’s ever been. There have been ups and downs and some people are better than others, but if you look at all the atrocities that have been justified by the morality of the time, we’ve made a lot of progress as a whole.

I mean, we did make them up. 🤷🏻♂️
- Comment on What happens if a world leader gets assassinated during a foreign visit by a *former* citizen of that leader's country? (Like: international relations wise) 1 day ago:
“American Assassinated Putin” or “Russian Dissident Assassinated Putin”
I think both of these headlines would be printed. Russia would blame US, and US would blame them.

Oh no! That’s tarifful!

Say what you will, but those ads are the reason I’ll never forget Aaron Burr.
- Comment on Why do some gamers invert their controls? Scientists now have answers, but they’re not what you think 3 days ago:
I clicked it, so you don’t have to:
After testing random people with various computer programs that asked them to rotate objects, they found that some people were able to complete the tasks with inverted or non inverted controls, despite the fact that they had claimed to prefer the opposite. The researchers claim that some people’s brains are just wired to perform better one way or the other despite how they originally learned.

We couldn’t have those here in the States. There wouldn’t be any time left for the content.

The movie.

‘Talking with partners who do not share our democratic values does not mean abandoning them’
Yeah, and I only allow peeing in one corner of the pool.

I’m surprised. I would have guessed that music would be one field that the suits wouldn’t pay too much attention as long as it didn’t sound like garbage at the end of the day.
- Comment on Education doesn't increase intelligence by making people memorize things, but by constantly reminding people that they might be wrong. 4 days ago:
Every adult I’ve known to be homeschooled is weird as hell.
Don’t get me wrong, I personally love weird people, but I was usually their only friend, because our coworkers would just avoid anyone who didn’t fit in with the norm.
I’m not advocating that everyone conform to the norm and change who they are, but if you don’t know how to blend in when needed, you’re going to have a rough time.
- Comment on If you had to buy a new TV, what brand would you get? 4 days ago:
I’ve only bought cheap TVs, because that’s what was available to me.
A year or so ago I got a big Samsung at an estate auction. It’s older than all my other TVs, but much better than all of them.
There may be higher quality or better value brands, but I can confirm that Samsung makes a nice TV.

I was thinking of network television.
I do love those paid promotion tags. Lets me know to just keep scrolling.
- Comment on Why did in game cameras take so long to get good?🤔 4 days ago:
I think it was trial and error. When people tried Mario 64 for the first time, it was VERY challenging because we’d never really done it before. It didn’t take long to get the hang of it, but I remember myself and others just spinning around in circles at the Walmart demo unit because we had no ideas how to navigate in 3 dimensions.

Unless the gecko consents.

Is possible that they do, but it’s so subtle that you don’t notice.
We’ve learned to identify and resist ads, so at this point, the most effective ads are the ones we don’t recognize.
- Comment on if you're a landowner, then you defacto own the people on your land because people are categorically defined as existing in a time & place and you literally own the place so you own their existence 4 days ago:
Two shrubberies?!? Couldn’t I just cut down a tree with a herring or something?

This is nonsense.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 4 days ago:
Yeah, I’m a longtime Borderlands fan who follows what’s going on with the franchise, and Randy just acts like a child who inherited a video game company. He usually says this dumb shit with a smile on his face, so I think he’s intending it to be in good fun, but it just does not come across that way.

Probably not “used” as in victimized. I think they were giving you a chance.
Sounds like she liked you, and wanted to see if being in a relationship would cause her to develop romantic feelings.
It didn’t, so, there was no point in pretending.
Sounds like you two weren’t really compatible, and you both learned a little from the experience. I say, no harm, no foul.

That’s what I’m thinking. That’s like buying buttermilk and complaining that there’s only half a stick of butter in it after you strain it!

- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 5 days ago:
I can see that.
I’m not far enough to have settled on an opinion on the open world yet. I did find it tedious in other BL games that I had to walk through the same areas in the same order over and over again to access the end game or start a new character.
That being said, I often don’t know where to go or what to do in BL4. Thank Torgue they added the Echo objective finder, that’s pretty much the only way I’ve been able to stay on track at all.

Yup. I get one when my wife tells me it’s time.

The new one feels like progress so far. I’m not very deep in, but the story and dialogue are not nearly as annoying as 3 was. The biggest difference has to be the movement. In previous games it often felt like you were trudging forward until you found an enemy and then running backwards so they didn’t catch you before they die. Grappling hooks, double jumps, and gliding add a TON of movement and gives you those John Wick moments where you’re bouncing around the area and blasting people from every direction.
