- Comment on When Does Instagram Decide a Nipple Becomes Female? 3 weeks ago:
This got me curious whether the milk would be any different and, if I’m reading this study correctly, there’s practically no difference in content

- Comment on Dropbox lays off 20% of staff, says it overinvested and underperformed 3 weeks ago:
Don’t forget, from 2014 to 2021, they had George W Bush’s Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on their board of directors.
- Comment on i stare it in the face every goddamn day 4 weeks ago:
I’ll take taxes and a job over being strapped down and drained of blood, tbh.
- Comment on Britain’s prehistoric attitude to drugs isn’t working. Why not learn from Texas? | Simon Jenkins 1 month ago:
I’ve enjoyed the other answers but I was thinking of Maryland, named after Queen Henrietta Maria of France, wife of King Charles I. Legal weed since last year.

There’s even a state named after one of their queens that they could have gone with as an example of recreational legalization.
- Comment on Outer wilds: at what point should I give up? 4 months ago:
If you’re on PC and you find you absolutely can’t make progress, consider modding the game. outerwildsmods.com
Just casually scrolling, I saw a few that modify movement and a few cheat mods that go so far as to just allow you to teleport places. Obviously just teleporting around would lessen the surprises the game offers, so I’d recommend that as an actual last resort.
- Comment on Spain sentences 15 schoolchildren over AI-generated naked images 4 months ago:
It’s possible I just haven’t come across those types of comments you’re making fun of, but I usually just see people making the case that we don’t need new, possibly overreaching, legislation to handle these situations. They want to avoid a disingenuous “think of the children” kind of situation.
a youth court in the city of Badajoz said it had convicted the minors of 20 counts of creating child abuse images and 20 counts of offences against their victims’ moral integrity
I’m not familiar with their legal system but I would be willing to bet the crimes they’ve committed were already illegal under existing laws.
- Comment on Now we know how much it costs to make a $2,800 Dior bag 4 months ago:
This and the Send Me to Heaven app (throw your phone as high as you can, higher height means higher score) were two of my favorite early apps clearly designed to mess with people buying expensive devices as status symbols.
- Comment on Israel Gaza war: ICC prosecutor seeks arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Hamas leaders 5 months ago:
Karim Khan KC said there were reasonable grounds to believe that both men bore criminal responsibility for war crimes and crimes against humanity from the day of Hamas’s attack on Israel on 7 October onwards.
Maybe I’m missing something, but when someone commits a war crime (or in this case multiple war crimes), are the things they have done not criminal acts? Did the BBC edit their article afterwards to assert they are war crimes?
They also write that Karim Khan calls Israel’s war a “war of extermination.”
- Comment on Online Content Is Disappearing 6 months ago:
I ran across software once that wouldn’t compile properly and the only documentation available was an archive.org hosted backup of an Intel help page that no longer exists. There is no alternative, Intel just removed it entirely.
- Comment on Helldivers 2 Players Express Frustration On Steam As It Will Soon Require A PSN Account 6 months ago:
One of the Arrowhead community managers said they’re trying to get more information regarding regions, so it kinda seems like they weren’t fully prepared for this/blindsided by Sony a bit. There should be an FAQ/QA with additional info coming soon.
- Comment on The studio behind Journey have brought their "peaceful" MMO Sky: Children Of The Light to PC 7 months ago:
The main story is basically Journey with friends and cosmetics. It expands a bit as you complete each area, easing you into more difficult/spookier content, but it never gets too complex.
There’s also a bunch of secret stuff to find and all of the older seasonal stuff that remains after they ended.
Spoilers for sure, but the wiki is helpful: …fandom.com/…/Sky:_Children_of_the_Light_Wiki

- Comment on Mongolian. Like the barbecue. 9 months ago:
The last time the Mongolians decided to expand their horizons, it didn’t work out so well for a decent chunk of the rest of the world. I think it’s perfectly fine they choose to keep things simple, tbh.
- Comment on Woman returns Costco couch after 2 years, tests limits of return policy: "I just didn't like it anymore" 9 months ago:
L. L. Bean significantly restricted/removed their lifetime warranty after they realized people were buying up used product at yard sales and auctions and then requesting they provide new replacements.
Supposedly you can still get them to honor it if you have proof of original purchase, but it sucks that it got to that point.
- Comment on The tyranny of the algorithm: why every coffee shop looks the same 10 months ago:
I can’t access the research article “craic in a box: commodifying and exporting the irish pub” anymore, but there’s a decent enough Vice article that goes over it: vice.com/…/why-irish-pubs-became-the-biggest-food…
Basically corporations packaged up and sold the theme and decorations that made Irish pubs feel authentic.
I wonder if using AI/ML is just the natural evolution of that kinda thing.
