Daaamn haha. Fair enough.

I don’t disagree with you, but there’s no way you have thousands of hours in Qbert. Even hundreds is impressive.
- Comment on 'Starter homes' cost at least $1 million in over 200 U.S. cities, Zillow data finds 1 week ago:
My only hope of home ownership around here is waiting for my parents to die and inheriting one. That said, I keep telling them to sell all their shit, move somewhere cheaper, and retire for fuck’s sake, so we’ll see how that pans out.

They were just pointing out the benefits of in office work for the industry (compared with benefits of remote no less), and you came out swinging, your example dripping with opinion and hostility.
It was entirely unnecessary and rude.

You get used to it. Been here happily for coming on two years. Honestly, less content means I can’t scroll 24/7 which has turned into a positive for me.
Fewer niche communities definitely sucks though. Time to start one I guess? :P

- Comment on The Circle of iLife 2 weeks ago:
I don’t know about iPhone, but I’ve notice a cool trick that my Android uses is jumping the video ahead of time to where it will need to be to sync the audio, so while you may skip around a few frames initially, you do receive immediate visual feedback, rather than seeing a frozen frame while waiting for the audio delay.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 2 weeks ago:
Your video player “can” account for latency if you configure it correctly which I imagine the majority of people don’t do.
Windows and Android do this automatically out of the box, don’t know about other platforms.
Ditto with your music playback always lagging 1-2 seconds behind your control inputs.
Since music isn’t an interactive medium, this doesn’t really matter
It also matters for music production, and makes life a lot more pleasant for audio/video editing
Well of course, if you’re doing that A) you’re probably not on a phone if you take it seriously and B) this is not an application for wireless audio solutions so…uh…duh? 😅
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 2 weeks ago:
Unless you’re using them for gaming or some other interactive medium, latency doesn’t really matter though. For music, latency is irrelevant and for video, your device will take care of syncing the audio and video playback so it’s a non issue. Audio quality is an entirely different matter of course.

- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 3 weeks ago:
Considering said Wikipedia entry did not exist 5 years ago, when I mentioned the prior requirements of mine that were met at the time, that doesn’t really apply here. Seems pretty convenient for current prospective buyers as of the article’s publishing, 3 years ago.
Regardless, to reiterate, there is no ethical consumption under capitalism, but I’m sure you’ve never consumed a product from a company that’s committed any form of fraud or other unethical act.
Having said all of this, please do not take what I’m saying here as support for Tesla or Elon. There is no way in hell I would buy a Tesla as of now, and I do indeed try to limit my consumption for companies I disagree with on moral and ethical grounds. Call me ignorant at the time of purchase, if you want, I suppose.
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 3 weeks ago:
You can say that about literally any company that exists under capitalism.

Nah, for sure, I don’t disagree, I just saw the opportunity for a dumb low effort oneliner, lol.

And you wouldn’t be supporting a Nazi in doing so! I’d support you in your goofy lil EV truck.
- Comment on Tesla Slumps Below 50% Share of California's Electric Car Market 3 weeks ago:
That’s assuming a lot. I wanted a car that was fast, electric, had easy charging, good range, and didn’t cost $100,000. 5 years ago, that was a Model 3.
Didn’t give a shit about Musk’s lies, always knew he was full of it and was a typical scumbag CEO; I did not peg him as someone to go full on Nazi mode.

which every nation in the world recognizes
Well, this is flat out not true at all 😅
There are ~30-35 that recognize some degree of birthright citizenship under certain circumstances, but very few countries have unconditional birthright citizenship, particularly outside of the Americas.
