This, ask questions, listen to the answers. If the personalities are so very different, I would make sure that i bring an extra dose of patience and chill, so that any moments where the personalities might ‘clash’ or find each other can be passed with respect and empathy, instead of frustration and emotion.
If I need more ‘connection power’, I will omit any negative comments that might float up my brain and keep them for myself for a while, and only focus on sharing my positive or neutral (philosophical?) thoughts about the current subject. Hope you can find some points to connect, but taking this kind of step to help that along is already a great sign :-). If you could update us in a while, I would love that.
- Comment on Steam Controller 2 is apparently a thing and being 'tooled for a mass production' plus a new VR controller 2 months ago:
It takes an extra second to read/see what you are supposed to do, but after that I have to agree with you, I also like the placement and actions required to replace the batteries.

Fantastic! I’m reducing my dependency on for profit entities every day, and federation is a great means to that end. Let’s welcome those moving over during the exodus!
- Comment on Maybe prehistoric cave paintings were actually the worst paintings of their time, because bad artists were forced to practice in caves where no one could see them. 2 months ago:
It’s a pretty funny picture, but why would the bad folk get to go in the cave? It feels to me that most caves would have been highly desirable locations back then.
- Comment on YSK that there's a better index than the BMI to measure obesity called the Body Roundness Index 3 months ago:
How round one wants to be is easily influenced by external factors like culture, though. I think slim bodies look sleek and beautiful, but it’s probably healthier to have a bit of fat in the right places (for times when your digestive system is on the fritz)
I like the effort for a body weight stat being more complete or useful for individuals, but my efforts measuring BRI came up kind of wack too :(. We decided it judged me too thin.

- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 3 months ago:
Maybe combine the loot fest with some hades difficult combat? I have similar feelings as yours, the genre is really cool but in the end, it’s all just this hidden grindfest? At least with (real) brutal combat, you still need to “make it happen”, big numbers is just the req.
- Comment on YSK: You don't own your Kindle e-books. 3 months ago:
For Kindle specific ripping, I think it changed a year back and now you need to have a kindle connected before the Amazon servers poop out some magic unlock key/the whole book. After that you’re golden, but during the rip you need a kindle device…

I thought it was one of the most intense city builders I ever played. I love the genre, and I love this style. Pretty difficult as well.
- Comment on Headlamp tech that doesn’t blind oncoming drivers—where is it? 4 months ago:
It’s great, I drive a low compact and because all the boomers around me drive a small tractor/SUV, whenever dusk starts I can look at all the pretty hard white suns behind me instead of traffic. If a big cargo truck can have good unobtrusive lighting, your fucking boomer mobile should also be able to have it, so it’s basically a choice made in te factory: yeah this will suck Ng blind everyone on the road, but hink of how COOL it will look guys!?

- Comment on Google Serves AI Slop as Top Result for One of the Most Famous Paintings in History 4 months ago:
It’s because this guy en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prabhakar_Raghavan thinks that keeping people engaged on google search longer is what it is all about. Not finding what you search for, no, engagement with your search tool.
"He was the head of search for Yahoo from 2005 through 2012 — a tumultuous period that cemented its terminal decline, and effectively saw the company bow out of the search market altogether. His responsibilities? Research and development for Yahoo’s search and ads products.
When Raghavan joined the company, Yahoo held a 30.4 percent market share — not far from Google’s 36.9%, and miles ahead of the 15.7% of MSN Search. By May 2012, Yahoo was down to just 13.4 percent and had shrunk for the previous nine consecutive months, and was being beaten even by the newly-released Bing. That same year, Yahoo had the largest layoffs in its corporate history, shedding nearly 2,000 employees — or 14% of its overall workforce. " - www.wheresyoured.at/the-men-who-killed-google/

I had a lot of fun galavanting around in black flag, but then FU-bisoft pulled the big one on me, and did NOT cloud-backup my progress (even though cloud save is plastered all over the ui, thats only about the achievements). Then I was sad and stopped singing chanties. Maybe. Someday…

- Comment on AMD won't patch all chips affected by severe data theft vulnerability — Ryzen 3000, 2000, and 1000 will not get patched for 'Sinkclose' 5 months ago:
Most of desktop users don’t care at all about these gains. Slap in normal ram and an SSD and a 1000 series Ryzen is ready to be a run of the mill desktop, that browses and can show media no problem.
I care! But I’m a power user. Most aren’t.
