Well even if it were intentional, that individual was dependent on the incompetence and they were right.

How good is hospital recovery?
Sure, there’s some cons, but you basically get a free card to game relentlessly, undisturbed, and guilt-free. Tragically, you eventually heal up and have to go back to being a normie.

Nah, his voice would still be annoying af to everyone there too. If Bob Marley is Jamaican, Jar Jar is the noise a balloon makes when you pinch the mouthpiece and let the air back out.
- Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 3 days ago:
Yeah but it’s like the gearbox. While everything’s pulled apart, you may as well swap out the clutch, bearing, and flywheel too because they’ll need replacing again first. Especially if better versions of them are now supported.
- Comment on Reporter suggests Half-Life 3 will be a Steam Machine launch title 1 week ago:
Yeah. But if they did, they’d best surprise us with a 7 day countdown appearing or something, so everyone has time to replay Episode 2 to remember wtf was going on.
It wouldn’t really be something you could enjoy by watching a recap video. And everyone under the age of like 25 wouldn’t know wtf is going on anyway, without a very well put together HL1/Opposing Force/Blueshift/Decay mashup into HL2 and episodes recap. “Ooooooh, so that’s what Half-Life is and where we’re at.”
A new title would be most likely, for new generations to start with.
Then they too can get hooked and wait two decades for more.

I’d do my job for free for a few days just to help people out (which I like doing) and there’s parts of it I enjoy.
But I like paddling down the river much more.
For most people, a paycheck is a business financially compensating you for the time you lost and the effort you did, for them. The business is of no value to the employee otherwise. The compensation must be fair and worth their while.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge Pushes an "All in One Browser" Message on Chrome’s Download Page 1 week ago:
There’s just a lot of thought put in for the user. Excellent UI and productivity features, so much customisability. It’s super fast and light. Then there’s built in blockers, VPN, all the usual. To top it all off, it’s made by a small group of Norwegians that hate corporate control and love an open and free internet. They even have their own feduverse instances.
After I had spent an hour going down the rabbit hole of tweaking every UI element so the browser was now my browser, I was hooked. I still have to use Firefox at work, but I now find it intrusive, sluggish, and crude. I also hate having to restart it for updates lol.

I prefer Edge of Chrome, but I don’t like either. Been with Vivaldi for years after switching off FF.

- Comment on It Only Takes A Handful Of Samples To Poison Any Size LLM, Anthropic Finds 1 week ago:
Yeah but they don’t have the money to introduce quality governance into this. So the brain trust of Reddit it is. Which explains why LLMs have gotten all weirdly socially combative too; like two neckbeards having at it with Google skill vs Google skill is a rich source of A+++ knowledge and social behaviour.

- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 3 weeks ago:
Well it’s pointless engaging with them any further.
Do what I do. Create a ChatGPT conversation, give the context and ask for a reply. See how long you can keep it up by telling the bot what reply you got from them next. You barely have tomdo anything, just cope+paste.
Its more fun to not even read anything that’s going on until the end.
- Comment on Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead 3 weeks ago:
I’m a follower and just go with Corsair Vengeance. Hasn’t ever let me down.
I think all my SSDs are Samsung. Nvme are Kingston and so I like to think they have thick Jamaican accents, mon. No issues with any of it and some of that storage is getting real old.
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 3 weeks ago:
Is she aware of what protein in the diet is for and how it works? Ot is she having expensive poops?
- Comment on Have you noticed the new way of promoting horrible food by telling you it has lots of protein 3 weeks ago:
I thought we exited this phase quite a few years back. Has it made a return? Are there wheat cereals advertising protein that’ll shit straight out of me because I do zero exercise again?
- Comment on same shit every day, on god 3 weeks ago:
I’m guessing something like most of the magnets contain the plasma, but some transfer energy off it?
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 4 weeks ago:
By far. We didn’t get to be #1 by fucking around, and we didn’t get to be #1 without all that dominating evolution lingering around. We’re so good at it, we’re predators to ourselves because there’s no prey left to dominate. Every other species dies farmed or as a hobby.
But I can say, that if I were die be prey to something, I’d rather it be to a human. Everything else starts eating you before you’re even dead lol.
- Comment on "Jurassic" Park 4 weeks ago:
iirc the John Hammond covers this in the book. I was so young, but something is triggering it for me. Could just be the subconscious trying to protect nostalgia, though.
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 4 weeks ago:
I think that’s specific to mammals. Just off the top of my head…
Invertebrates? No. All out
Fish? No.
Birds? No.
Reptiles? No.
Amphibians? No.

Registration Status: Registered.
Beacon Type: EPIRB.
406MHz GPS (Cat. 2) 66-channel. Beacon Status: Operational.
Battery Expiry Date: 01/10/2028.It’s UIN—which I obv won’t give lol— doesn’t hold an MMSI. The main reason being EPIRBs aren’t just for marine craft.
- Comment on xkcd #3169: EPIRBs 5 weeks ago:
I have a handheld one—to float with me in a liferaft, etc—and it gets registered to a vessel or vehicle. Whenever I want to use it on something different, contact the federal government, advise of the new vessel ID or vehicle registration, and it’s now associated with the new one.
I don’t think it matters much since it is a beacon after all, but I think it helps in searching. Also, a lot of other details are registered along with it so they know who to send the tens of thousands in fines to if I somehow bypass all three “Are you really sure?” switches and fire the thing off inappropriately.

Jesus was definitely a libertarian and definitely not a conservative. Oh, except for inside a temple on markets day.

I think this is how you find out you’re God. Or at least _should_have god-like powers.How good are you at sadism and are you a cunt to your son? Do you often find yourself threatening billions of Ife to eternal torture if they don’t accept your love and moral superiority while worshipping you for it?
