- Comment on Up to half of the earth's population doesn't have an inner monologue, up to half of the earth has never had a shower thought 1 week ago:
Lack of inner monologue doesn’t mean lack of thoughts. People without an inner monologue just don’t think in words. They can still think up concepts and ideas like everyone else.
- Comment on Its likely a very large percentage of people would choose to have been born earlier than they were if given the choice. 1 week ago:
You should watch The Good Place. It comes up there once and I’ve thought about it randomly ever since.

If you don’t retain your knowledge are you even you?
Philosophy of self is weird.

Thom Tillis - Nay
- Comment on Cloudflare blocking AI crawlers 2 weeks ago:
Seeing as how they can’t reliably detect that I’m human or not, I don’t have much confidence in this.
- Comment on The name "seagull" implies the existence of landgulls, airgulls, and firegulls. 2 weeks ago:
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. My grandmother used to tell me stories about the old days, a time of peace when the Avatar kept balance between the Seagulls, Landgulls, Firegulls, and Airgulls. But that all changed when the Firegulls attacked.
- Comment on What are your favourite single-player games without much fluff, grinding or difficulty spikes? 2 weeks ago:
Baldur’s gate 3 would be my suggestion. It has difficulty settings from easy to insane. No quick time events. And the whole world was designed with care.
The combat system is very deep since it is based on DnD.
You can ignore side quests and still see the whole main game but even after 1500 hours in the game i was still finding new questlines and hidden caves to explore.

Unless you’re Indiana Jones or a ghoul kid in the Commonwealth.

- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 3 weeks ago:
If you get a user agent switcher and change your user agent for youtube to chrome then that slowing down goes away.
- Comment on YSK: You can continue to access subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle 4 weeks ago:
That’s what charge backs are for.
- Comment on YSK: You can continue to access subscription services (even trials) after cancelation until the next billing cycle 4 weeks ago:
If they don’t prorate a refund then they’re stealing from you. Obviously if this is a trial they can cancel immediately if you haven’t paid but otherwise it’s theft.
- Comment on The Army’s Newest Recruits: Tech Execs From Meta, OpenAI and More 4 weeks ago:
This type of program has existed for forever in the military. Some other careers that skip basic and get promoted to high ranks on joining are specialized doctors and lawyers. The military needs those types of specialists and they have to compete with the civilian compensation packages to attract people. Colonel pay is really high. Private First class, not so much.
- Comment on We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span. 4 weeks ago:
Then he needs to charge more if he can’t afford to pay his employees more.
- Comment on Not only do we humans have a common ancestor with primates still living in trees, we have a common ancestor with the trees. 4 weeks ago:
I was going to say one of them should have been 50 times removed but Randall got me in the alt text:
Grandma says that because of differences in primate and feline lifespans, the cat is actually my 17,000,000th cousin 14,000,000 times removed.
- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 4 weeks ago:
You should assume every online space has disinformation, bad actors, trolls, sea lions, and other types of undergrowth. That is why critical thinking is so important.
- Comment on We like to protect people with OSHA laws in the workplace but not during a peaceful public protest 5 weeks ago:
if we are working for corporations and government, they will protect and defend the right to our safety to the utmost degree
No they won’t. The whole reason OSHA exists is because companies would routinely put workers in dangerous situations and then fire them if they refused. OSHA is an organization that exists because of all those lessons learned in blood that you hear about.
- Comment on How do you keep track of what games you have played over the years? 5 weeks ago:
Like goodreads but for games? Goodplays maybe?
- Comment on Saying "over" on the radio is like the null byte at the end of a string. 5 weeks ago:
Same with roger wilco. Roger means i understand the message. Wilco means i understand the message and will comply.
- Comment on What is the cutoff distance when you point and say [thing] is "here" or [thing] is "there"? 5 weeks ago:
In spanish they have three words for here and there.
Things near enough to touch are aquí.
Things close but not near enough to touch are ahí.
Things far away are allí.
In english i would just say here for anything in my general vicinity (maybe within 2 meters) and there for any other distance.
- Comment on Marvel Rivals Question - How to Play Hulk? 5 weeks ago:
That’s how he’s played. He’s a diver. You jump in and try to distract and/or kill a squishy or healer while your team pushes in behind you. Then you jump out if the push didn’t go well.
- Comment on The Witcher 4 | Gameplay Tech Demo 1 month ago:
What does it matter what it was running on? This looks pre rendered and anything pre rendered will look good on a potato. Case in point Blizzard’s old pre renders in warcraft and diablo.

- Comment on Certain dishes like Curries and fried rice keep getting better with age, until they don't. 1 month ago:
Does it instantly turn or does it follow a normal distribution of taste vs time where there is some value of time that produces a perfect taste but below or above that value is suboptimal? Because for me I find there is a peak waiting time for spaghetti and bolognese of about 2 days after preparing it where the tastes have blended perfectly but if I got three days the taste isn’t as great but hasn’t spoiled.
- Comment on Musk's Neuralink raises fresh cash at $9 billion valuation, Semafor reports 1 month ago:
surgical insertions of devices to treat obesity, autism, depression and schizophrenia
We don’t understand the underlying mechanisms of these diseases currently so how is nueralink going to treat them? Is neuralink funding research into these diseases or is the nazi muskrat spouting bullshit again?
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 1 month ago:
See, assuming someone calling out your bitching has downvoted you is part of your problem. I didn’t downvote you before, now I have downvoted you because you sound whiny.
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 1 month ago:
Downvotes arent gatekeeping. It’s just people not agreeing with you or disliking your tone. Also bitching about downvotes tends to attract more downvotes for your efforts.
- Comment on Lies of P is getting difficulty options to make the Soulslike more accessible 1 month ago:
Only a dozen attempts?
