- Comment on Arguing for the car as a good method of transportation is like arguing that having personal diesel generator to power you home is a good idea 3 days ago:
I see where you’re coming from.
I personally read it differently. I read it as not everyone lives in a city, or wants to, and so people shouldn’t pressure others to do that (for mass transit) just so we can get rid of cars.

Do you not have apartment complexes where you live? You can easily hit that number in your building ALONE depending on how many units there are. Then you have buildings around you because apartments aren’t just a one off.
Let’s say you live on a city block with 8 houses on each side and there’s an average of 2 people living in each house, that’s still 32 people.

I literally thought it was social media too.

Holy fucking shit, I totally forgot about this!
I award you, stranger! 🏅

In the original Warcraft games (not World Of Warcraft), repeatedly clicking units would initiate irritation voice lines.
Humans would say something like, “why do you keep touching me?”
An elf said something like, “you never touch other elves like that!”
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 week ago:
Totally! I didn’t downvote you btw. No idea what that is about.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 week ago:
Ah. Yes, I get it. I was thinking you were serious that they weren’t Android. 😆
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 week ago:
Ooh. Ok, so can you elaborate on this?
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 week ago:
when it launched
Yes. That right there. I switched from Google Maps to Apple Maps and I like it much better. Hell, even the GPS doesn’t play catch up nearly like what Google Maps does. Speed limits are posted on like every street so I know it before I see a sign. It’s more aesthetically pleasing to me than Google Maps as well.
I had the OG Droid, did all the rooting and ROMing on my phones, and went up to the Samsung S8 until I switched. I don’t miss Android, but I’m not a power user either.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 week ago:
Yeah, I have an iPhone 15 Pro and Safari is freezing or just not even allowing me to close windows until I restart the app.
I haven’t tried turning it off yet, but my suspicion is the Liquid Glass and all the stuff it needs to do is taking priority.
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 week ago:
The answer you’re looking for is, “Of course it does!”
- Comment on Apple is reportedly getting ready to introduce ads to its Maps app 1 week ago:
Switch a while ago. It’s pretty damn great.
- Comment on When was the last time you actually laughed while playing a game? 2 weeks ago:
Or the side quest of the rocket that didn’t blow up and you do all of this grabbing parts, set up, fight Order forces and you finally get to launch the missile which developed a bond with humans but didn’t want to be a dud. They end up being fireworks instead of an actual missile.
- Comment on Peter Parker/Spider-Man should just get a job in fashion 2 weeks ago:
His job, canonically, has been freelance photographer. I think fashion probably beats that.

Haha. I know. 😁
I was quoting Office Space.

- Comment on If chickens are modern dinosaurs some dinosaurs probably tasted like chicken. 4 weeks ago:
Ah shit. Gamers are delicious. They’re so salty from all the crying that they make for a nice savory snack!
On a serious note—I thought I changed it, but autocorrect wins. I’m leaving it.
- Comment on If chickens are modern dinosaurs some dinosaurs probably tasted like chicken. 4 weeks ago:
Yes, this is spot on. There are definitely ways to cook it that can help ease home of that gamer-ness. I had alligator nuggets in Florida and really enjoyed them.

Lilith, Borderlands
- Comment on Steam is now blocking NSFW updates for published adult-only games, according to a raunchy RPG developer 5 weeks ago:
I honestly don’t understand how to “do” crypto. Here’s my brain’s interpretation and questions. You will probably see why I, and many others, don’t use it or dabble in it:
It’s got to be mined to obtain (power hog and time)
You can buy it but it is traded like stock which may inflate it to be more expensive to obtain
Who really owns or has responsibility over what you purchase?
Where is it “stored” (locally, on a cloud somewhere)?
What coin type do you choose and how do you know it’s safe?
Do you just make your own coin and use a program that does everything needed to package it as “money”?
How does someone verify that you actually have the money behind the coin(s)?

- Comment on Disney+ cancellation page crashes as customers rush to quit after Kimmel suspension 1 month ago:
I canceled my stuff over this and I don’t even watch him. I let them know it was because they are free speech abolitionists and capitulating to Trump. I’m also a huge Star Wars and Marvel fan, so this was a big deal to me to cancel.

GOP projecting again. Sounds like the party has a porn addiction!
- Comment on How did Luke Skywalker learn to communicate with Astromech droids? How did he learn the language whilst living on Tatooine? 1 month ago:
How do parents know what a baby is saying? They don’t. They spend enough time learning what sounds and movements or facial positions mean to speculate what is being communicated.
Artoo speaks with whistles and beeps and he moves. I’m betting that in the time they spent together, Luke had a vague understanding of the general gist of what Artoo was trying to communicate.
Droids personalities also expand as time goes on and they learn, which is why wiping their memory often is something that happens in Star Wars. R2 and 3PO both skirt memory wiping many times.

Well, I like peanut butter and that’s how it’s pronounced. I guess I’m part of the quarter gang.
- Comment on Google should have called it JIF, not WebP 2 months ago:
So what you’re saying it’s that just like articles—THEY DIDN’T READ. Then they perpetuated fake news until it was accepted by half the audience.
- Comment on Google should have called it JIF, not WebP 2 months ago:
Well now I feel like an idiot because I thought they were actually two different file types with some stupid rule like how many pixels they could display. 😂
I had to look it up and find out it changed because of operating systems and what they could handle for naming conventions.
