  saving children from child abuse isn’t nice or good?

  same with sound fonts. You can still tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Unfortunate Truth⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  they said that about synthesizers. You can still tell 30 years later.

  I mean his actual prose isn’t much different, just more confusing

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨the unseen worlds⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Cone count is my guess. Of the photoreceptors in the eye - Rods see in low-light and cones see in color. Some animals lack or have different cones compared to humans. Hence why bees can see “bee purple”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTuber PatMan QC has passed away 😔⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s the arm covers. Reminder to read top right to bottom left, so the final shot is the dude’s eyes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  "Energy constantly flows through the crystal. You're not fighting with a simple blade as much as you are directing a current of power." ―Sabine Wren and Kanan Jarrus on the Darksaber, Rebels: s3e15 Trials of the Dark Saber
  

  I’m sure there are other references, too, but for it to be a power current it needs to flow to and from a terminus. See also the Tagge Protoblade in which the energy circles around a metal core (internally referred to as the corn dog lightsaber) instead of being a sword

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signs that rhyme⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It was Noah Webster, of the dictionary fame, for the same reason as colo[u]r and cent[re/er] - to put a new identity post revolution on American English

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Star Wars is an ode to the stupidest use of battle lasers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  another note on the light Saber blade: it’s actually a long spinning loop like a narrow ‘0’ or the eye of a needle, which is why it doesn’t disconnect

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Project Diva⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  great copypasta. fits any game.

  for hearthstone: swap “perfects on 8⭐️” for “legend in wild”, “players on YouTube can get top 100 NA standard legend”, “why don’t you marry Unnerfed Jaina or Boulderfist Oger”

  for destiny: “gone to the light house”, “solo dungeons”, “marry Eris or Savathun”

  etc

  plus a lot of Egyptian pronunciation was made up in the 1930s, and nowadays we know differently but the original names stuck

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Steam controller was ahead of its time⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  if I wanted to only play half my games at twice the price for only a few years on hardware i can’t upgrade with fewer functions and content due to exclusivity, I would buy a console

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  well of course not, they all have sports cars etc etc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Studies suggest this is an extreme minority, and stories like yours - while yours might be true (and be fair to me here, we’re just two usernames, we don’t know each other’s motives and biases), it’s often used to push reasons to defund homeless shelters and criminalize being poor.

  Even if you have seen a homeless person (or imposter) do something wrong, it might be worth considering that being homeless is very difficult and often caused by pre-existing medical conditions or institutionalized discrimination.

  then don’t make single player games (or sections of games) require a server.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let people enjoy things 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  to clarify I am speaking “culturally” not legally.

  Most people go out for drinks and drive home.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Let people enjoy things 🙄⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  in my experience, culturally, drinking one (1) 4.8% ABV 33ml can of beer in Europe is drunk driving

  Drinking two (2) 6.2% ABV fl oz (946ml) glasses of beer and smoking weed in the USA is not drunk driving.

  Not defending it, just saying that it was eye opening how many people in the US get behind the wheel after drinking what they consider a small amount of alcohol

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vancouver man says institutions unable to recognize new Indigenous street name⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Is this not IPA? I thought the article said it was

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vancouver man says institutions unable to recognize new Indigenous street name⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  as written it should be pronounced

  shw-meth-quey-em-ass-em

  where the shw is throaty - is it different because of the language?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WhatsApp rolls out AI-generated summaries for private messages⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Dear Kevin⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  i think theyre referring to the mnemonic

  King Phillip Came Over From Great Spain

  =

  Kingdom, Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus, Species

  and theyre saying they should add Domains to this (that precedes Kingdom)

  including others in your kink without permission is a violation of consent, easy break up - this man does not respect boundaries, and does not practice SSC/RACK

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We went from LEARN TO CODE to NO ONE LEARN TO CODE GET A CONSTRUCTION JOB in about a 3 year span.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a great deal of job security by not being a software engineer and knowing “how to code”

  they love me at my job in supply chain b2b marketing because I can build an API connector to the DoT database, and build a simple savings calculator in WordPress that connects to hubspot and Salesforce, or I can parse 20 csvs and exclude all duplicates in python…

  all low level stuff but if you don’t know what a variable even is it seems like magic

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No one lobbied me lol. They cross bred a petunia with a mushroom. It’s roughly the same concept as when humans bred maize.
