  Gotta let them not see you as a threat. If offered food for a little while they’ll not attack you. They’re surprisingly good at remembering who’s who.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most Australians take more than 30 minutes to get to work. How does that compare to other countries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sounds like a standard government planning process to me. :(

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is anyone still playing Command and Conquer Generals (+ Zero Hour)?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah man. Now I’m gonna have to pull out the ol red alert 2. The only game I’ve played where 10 hours just disappeared. Started just after breakfast and next thing I realise, everyone in the house is fast asleep and it’s pitch black outside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Re:Monster - Episode 5 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From the way it seemed to be phrased, the regular kidnapping of other species for procreation sounds like it’s a regular thing too.

  Ah well, they’ve left it too late to stop them now :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for something in the vein of Bocchi the Rock or Zombie Land Saga⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I’m pleasantly surprised how this one is going. Ended up binging the first 4 episodes in a row

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken 3rd Season • That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 - Episode 1 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Looking forward to the rest of the season too! Think I’m gonna have to go back and re watch the earlier episodes to get back into the storyline again.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Young adults are getting used to living on a financial cliff⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exactly. You get used to the feeling of intense anxiety if you have it all the time. You don’t like it, but you get used to it. Same goes for being poor. It’s shit, but if you can’t get away from it you adjust your life whether you want to or not.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I'm a US citizen, people in other countries, what do you think when you read stories like these about the US health care system?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I do like that in my country, if there’s an emergency, you don’t need to think about it. You just get help without fear of being financially crippled for life.

  I feel bad for Americans that you can’t easily get medical help, even in emergencies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sony is erasing digital libraries that were supposed to be accessible “forever”⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel more and more justified about piracy every article I read about licensing and stuff just getting taken away after having paid good money for stuff

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cable company logic: "Our predatory anti-consumer practices are really pro-consumer"⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Only if they buy the argument that it’s too difficult to explain what the hidden charges are for so they shouldn’t have to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Skip brushing your teeth by combining it with breakfast⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The worst part is seeing the bite out of a piece that had toothpaste. It just sells the idea of disgust

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An AI firm harvested billions of photos without consent. Britain is powerless to act⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not saying they’re in the right, but once you put stuff on the internet it’s near impossible to stop people doing what they want with it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can’t log into my Nextcloud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Stupid question, but you’re entering the servers_ipaddress:8070

  When trying to access from a computer other than the server, Correct?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I wish they improved the net code when they re released it on steam. Loved playing it as a kid, was looking forward to a modern co-op experience

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Over $600 Million Later, Star Citizen Is Now at the Alpha 3.20 Stage⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  They had a free week recently. But it ended up taking almost the entire week to actually successfully install and launch it. So I played it for maybe 5min

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everything We Know About Neuralink’s Brain Implant Trial⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this is one of those things where you don’t have to like the guy to want to take advantage of the tech. Elon is a loud mouthed idiot, but he’s somehow spawned some cool companies

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your favorite tech podcast?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Darknet diaries or self hosted

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ISPs complain that listing every fee is too hard, urge FCC to scrap new rule⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Jeez if they cannot even identify what they’re charging for, then should they be charging for those things at all?

  Sounds shady as fuck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who back into parking spots: Why?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I find it easier to backwards park, especially in tighter spaces. Mostly because it’s easier if you look properly and watch your mirrors and don’t rush. It’s also easier to leave because you’ve got better line of sight for oncoming traffic
