  It depends whether you subscribe to the belief of reincarnation. There’s always a possibility that you’re actually reincarnated from an alien in Andromeda somewhere and the reason why you can’t remember anything is because the memory format of the alien physiology is not compatible with human brain.

  Well isn’t that okay? If you live in a big city your need to sleep of 8 hours is spread to a lot of people so people would just need to add few seconds of their sleep.

  If you’re traveling away from civilization, that’s another story.

  Hmm, your side effect also doesn’t specify the organism taking the sleep burden is a human so it can spread to other animals. By virtue this is a pretty useless side effect or even can be used as an explanation on how their powers work.

  I used to use it before it got acquired by Firefox to store my read it later list.

  Yep, I know it was over when they sane-washed the couch fucker during the VP debate.

  It literally shrinks your brain with excessive usage.

  Well during the weird stuff it was working and they got really bothered by it.

  Well, they did collaborate with Nazis during the holocaust.

  I know a guy who only buys games as last resort but bought all the gooner skins in Rivals.

  I respectfully disagree. AMD basically said that they survived the Bulldozer debacle because of Sony and Microsoft ordering their APUs. The custom designs also have trickled down with AMD making iGPU that are desktop levels now (8060S).

  I would love getting a Pixel but the 100% price premium and no official support is making it hard.

  Yep, they should have just put the yearly changes on something like a season pass and timed the major release with the regulation changes to match the simulation engine development.

  He did Linux much better than Linus of LTT fame.

  Institutional knowledge is a real thing and also like you said, the first KSP started as a passion project. There’s a huge difference in terms of pressure and expectation between developing your own passion project compared to developing a sequel of a highly regarded game.

  This is the same for me. I might have to move my kid’s console to PS5 and use their Game Pass equivalent.

  Don’t worry, we’ll find another part that’s going to be broken instead. TBH it already happened to my friend’s Gullikit controller, his shoulder and trigger buttons are already broken, but not his analog stick.

  I finally got it too. It feels like a rite of passage. You’re not a full citizen until you got the DM.

  Yea I’m just saving up for an oled monitor at this point. My 5800X3D + 3080 12GB combo can still pretty much play everything above 60 fps with optimized settings on 1440p.

  I also got a handheld for local streaming so I can push the graphics settings down more and still get a good IQ due to smaller size.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oof this is the reason why I went with Fold. Basically when folded it takes almost the same area as an iPhone 5 albeit quite thicker. But my hand adjusted to the thickness quite nicely.

  Having basically a small tablet when you unfold the phone for actual two handed use is good too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s useful to take pictures. I usually turn on the outside screen so the people I’m taking picture of can pose themselves better. My kids love it too.

  Sometimes I also use it for maps navigation when walking somewhere new. There’s actually lots of use cases for it, I just get a case with screen protector for it.

  I’m luckily one of the “grandfathered” employees in my company meaning that I joined when the company is very small and got a very good contract compared to other new hires and they’re currently making my life hell in hopes to make me resign from the company. Unfortunately the job market is still hell. So, I’ve just got to hold on until I got fired to get that severance pay to act as a buffer money for me to start freelancing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨79% of Americans feel burned out as they put most vacation time toward errands, doctor visits, and family care⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  What industry are you freelancing on?

  Soo, by that logic it’s either going to be 3rd party or we got WW3 going on US soil that Brandon gets to enjoy a 3rd term at the office.

  Even in its current iteration, barring material conditions that disallow me from keeping my foldable phone, I think I’ll keep owning one for the foreseeable future. It truly feels like something new in a sea of black rectangular slabs.
