agree, no matter what communities you browse, you just get repeatedly hit over the head with the same 5 topics.

whew, thank you for bringing up elon musk.

great idea, go overboard and make him furious, surely this won’t have any bad ramifications for her.

Incredibly scientific and thoroughly sourced lol.

it’s a pretty simple app, what are you having issues with?
- Comment on Robotic Putting Greens. Mixed Reality. Loud Spectators. This Is Golf?! 1 year ago:
it also doesn’t factor in how these irrelevant attacks alienate people who might consider joining their cause.
there are apparently over 25 million people in the US that play golf.
If, for no reason, you insult them and their hobby, you’ve lost a ton of potential allies.
Take this example I saw here a few days back:
I guy posts a picture of his motorcycle and some miserable sonofabitch comes in screaming at him:
Thanks for adding more pollution to our climate. Asshole.
Fuck that. Any person that intentionally pollutes the air should be publicly shamed and eviscerated.
yea, great job, guy…
- Comment on Robotic Putting Greens. Mixed Reality. Loud Spectators. This Is Golf?! 1 year ago:
this golf course talking point is weird.
there are 2m acres golf courses in the US
the US is 2.43b acres in size.
Gold courses are .008% of US landmass.
Well beyond a rounding error, but for some reason this is some people’s #1 issue.
- Comment on Google’s “Web Integrity” Android API could kill “alternative” media clients 1 year ago:
the most frustrating part is when I search for a result I know exists, and I know that Google knows it exists, but it floods me with pages and pages of things it thinks I “should” see instead.

- Comment on Kendrick Lamar's company just dropped a limited-edition 'dumb' phone. It's already sold out. 1 year ago:
many dumphones have these functions.
calculator and GPS is not what most people think of from the phrase “a bunch of apps”
- Comment on Software devs, I need advice 1 year ago:
just to give an argument for the option most folks are not choosing.
I work for a huge old company and here are some of the benefits:
- Good pay
- Great work/life balance. putting in over 40hrs/week is unheard, no crunch time
- Size of the company allows for movement to different tech areas
- Very stable, great job security
Now granted, we are totally WFH, don’t think I would be willing to do an in-person job with a suit every day, but there is an argument to make for making more money when you’re younger that you can start investing early.
The lack of bleeding edge tech could also be used to your advanced if you could spearhead leading a more modern initiative.
I’m not sure how large the pay difference is, but it sounds like your heart is leaning towards the start up.
In the end, you’ll just have to weigh the positives and negatives and figure out what you truly want.

but you can’t add a bunch off apps.

kind of like telling a heroin addict to just stop doing heroin.
- Comment on What can i do with 3d models as an everyday joe? 1 year ago:
you can get an Ender 3 on sale for $100.
probably cheaper to invest in one rather than continuously pay for a service to print them off.
some libraries will 3D print stuff for very cheap though.

cool ad
- Comment on Brave responds to Bing and ChatGPT with a new “anonymous and secure” AI chatbot 1 year ago:
I have Photoshop with the generative AI options.
It’s almost impossible to get it to work with anything peach to brown shaded, because it (presumably) thinks I’m doing something NSFW.
- Comment on Brave responds to Bing and ChatGPT with a new “anonymous and secure” AI chatbot 1 year ago:
is it as locked down and censored as Bing and CGPT are?
- Comment on Why not just let people use opioids? It's cheap. People like it. Arguably healthier than weed, alcohol or tobacco. Addiction isn't an issue if you can stay supplied. 1 year ago:
that doesn’t take into account how commonly it’s used though.
far far more people drink alcohol.

this website is somehow even worse than reddit

that’s cool you read my mind.
- Comment on They use to tell us we couldnt trust Wikipedia. Now we know. Wikipedia is the only website you can trust. 1 year ago:
Wikipedia is dominated by a bunch of special interest groups that make ideological edits and lock others from reverting them.
Check out the “talk” tab if you want to see the psychopaths determining what content is shown.
- Comment on The average car purchased in 2023 emits higher levels of carbon dioxide (CO₂) than its 2013 equivalent. This is due to the large proportion of SUVs in the mix, which tend to be bigger and heavier. 1 year ago:
that would be a great way to undermine your entire cause.
some people just prefer larger cars, and pivoting to some bizarre comment about their genitalia is an incredibly stupid way to go about dealing with the issue.
