- Comment on How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level? 13 hours ago:
Why do you want to be in a relationship with someone who you don’t like?
- Comment on The solution to many problems 1 day ago:
I used to work with a guy that smoked and refused to wear a seat-belt. He carried a gun though, just in case his life was in danger.
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 2 days ago:
This system is fine. While patterns are obviously easier to hack, having unique passwords for each site and being able to remember them puts your friend in the 90^th^ percentile of computer users.

Fair, but who got a speaking role with liv Tyler?

I thought KF got banned a couple of years ago.
- Comment on How do you keep roaches and other pests from entering your computer (either desktop or laptop)? (Especially for people that live in very warm and wet climates) 2 days ago:
If you have bugs coming from outside, you can hire an exterminator to spray around the premier of your home to keep them out. If you’ve got an infestation, you’re going to have to deal with that. You can’t protect just your computer, without sealing it behind plastic or something.

I’d rather be a fanatic than a revenue stream with Stockholm syndrome.

And what is her fault? She likes getting money for nothing?
Maybe she should just be polite, agreeable, and allow gooners their fantasies of possessing her free of charge. That worked so well for Marylin Monroe.

If M$ was smart, they’d develop a version of Windows optimized for gaming. But they can’t do that without implying that desktop Windows is inferior for games.

The crazy thing about this story is that people will look at this and think there is something wrong with her.

Oh, I see now. This is actually pretty cool then.
- Comment on Thousands of Asus routers are being hit with stealthy, persistent backdoors 4 days ago:
Nobody is going to install this on my TP-Link. The back door is factory.

So this person thinks they can choose small talk? curious.

That’s awesome! I never installed this crap on Windows, now I get to skip installing it on Linux. Keep up the good work.

Probably the same way they wear lederhosen.

Let go of the idea that bad/good people do bad/good things. Abuse isn’t a personality type, it’s a behavior.

- Comment on science never ends 6 days ago:
It’s ironic to refute post-modern ideals with semantics.

The producer of this track.
- Comment on You have been in a prison of bone for your entire life 6 days ago:
There is no separation of mind and body. There are no homunculi in the jelly between your ears. This is the same illusion that authored the idea of a soul.

Also Clegg
asking women for permission would ruin my sexlife.
probably.
- Comment on Actual situation for some 6 days ago:
you’re suggesting that his victims were compensated with fame. That his accusers took advantage of him by going back on the deal ; they’re ungrateful.
- Comment on Half-Life 3 Has Been Designed to be ‘The Final Chapter’, It’s Claimed 1 week ago:
The Last Jedi is top 3 out of the Skywalker movies easily.
In a few short years, you’ll see. The sequels will be redeemed just as the prequels before them. Time is a flat circle.
- Comment on Is Washington state falling out of love with Tesla? 1 week ago:
It’s great to see Elmo suffer.
But I’m reminded that the concept of “voting with your dollars” and “consumer activism” are the ways capitalism has captured revolutionary activity into a fashion that serves the ego, satiates the desire to act, and neuters any chance of efficacy.
When capitalists see the demand for change, they package it, promote it, and trade it on the market.
- Comment on If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first? 1 week ago:
Hate crimes are usually not solo charges. They’re add-ons to regular criminal violence. It’s similar to how selling drugs is a crime, but also selling drugs near a school is a separate charge. You would never be charged with selling drugs near a school but not charged for selling drugs.
- Comment on Total Chaos | Gameplay Trailer 1 week ago:
Free Demo on a modern game? love to see it.
- Comment on Is a DRM-Free Ebook always better than a physical book? 1 week ago:
Ebooks are superior for the task of reading. The ability to check out books (or steal them) from home is a big deal.
If nostalgia, being seen reading, or collecting books is your jam, rock on reader. But don’t look down on me because I value the built in dictionary and changing the font.
- Comment on Elden Ring's player engagement is through the roof: 45% of its Steam players have played for 100+ hours 1 week ago:
I don’t like the idea of time spent as a value proposition. One of the reasons UBI games are trash is because they measure “engagement” as satisfaction and bloat their games with repetitive and dull scavenger hunts. They waste your time.
Some of the best games are short and have little replay value. The Portal games come to mind.
- Comment on DOOM: The Dark Ages Has Reportedly Sold Less Than 1 Million Copies 1 week ago:
meant to mislead potential players into thinking the game is successful when, in fact, it’s severely underperforming behind the scenes.
Why would a player in a single-player game give a tiny shit about how popular it is? It’s the investor class that cares about that; stop treating their interests as a natural good.
