Yes, not all people are of the same opinion of what is better. Or even that we need to improve in the first place.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 2 days ago:
could just find anything meaningful and it would be equally valid
From an evolutionary standpoint, sure. As long as the species keeps going, evolution doesn’t care how.
But from our own desire of self-improvement, some paths are better than others.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 2 days ago:
Nothing we are or do has any meaning to the universe. But our lives and actions have meaning to ourselves. And science is important for humanity. The universe doesn’t care if we develop science or not, but we care. There’s no great universal narrative where we play any role, but we do write our own narrative for ourselves and those to come.
- Comment on Day 249 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 1 week ago:
It’s not about the screenshots, I’m just amazed with how you’re playing a different game every day. I can’t put down a game until I 100% it.
- Comment on Day 249 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 1 week ago:
I don’t get how people do this. I obsessively play a single game until I exhaust everything possible to do in that game. Only then I move on to the next game. In 243 days I would probably have screenshots of 2 games total.

First I saw jelly beans, then I noticed the arrangement and saw touching tips, then I looked for what else could be taken in that direction and noticed the clearly intentional double penetration.

- Comment on The one change that worked: I set my phone to ‘do not disturb’ three years ago – and have never looked back 1 month ago:
I ignore any calls that are not from my contacts. If it’s important they’ll leave a message. I have DND on at night. Calls and messages from my wife have separate sounds and exception from DND.

Samsung galaxy has the same feature (at least on the S25, I don’t recall if I had it on the S10)

We should shorten that to UXX

Ok, that’s absurd. I thought it makes sense to change the name in the US if that’s the official name in the US (according to the USGS data, which has always been the official source for this info). But translating the US name into other languages that already have a name for it makes no sense.
- Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power. 1 month ago:
That was a culture shock for me when I moved to the US. I knew that back in the day, in rural areas of my country, the markets only opened once a week. I was shocked to find that happen in urban/suburban areas in the US. Back home I could just go to the closest market any day. Morning news would have a report comparing prices in different markets across the city, so you could pick the one that has the best price for what you need that day.
- Comment on Why? 4 months ago:
A computer that can manage the TNG holodeck will have no problem handling all the complexities of a transporter.
Plus it needs to identify what creepy crawlies are a part of you and which were just randomly wandering by.
It does do that. It’s canon that transporters take care of removing any foreign organisms.
And how does it know what clothes are? If I’m wearing shoes, does it know where the shoes end and the floor starts? What if I’m wearing skies? What if I’m barefoot on a carpet? What if it’s a leather carpet? What if I’m wearing shoes made by folding carpet around my feet?
It understands all those scenarios and relays them to the operator, who decides what to lock on.

But is this cub the first time in history those types of features have been studied? We’ve known about saber-toothed cats for decades.

If surviving humans lost 50% of their gut bacteria, that means that those snapped away left 50% of their gut bacteria behind.

- Comment on I rented many games solely based on their covers, only to be mildly disappointed when I got home. 5 months ago:
My games were all pirated. Covers had a handwritten list of all games on the cassette (and later CD). The first legit game I’ve ever seen was Mortal Kombat Trilogy and I remember being taken aback by the waste of using a full CD for a single game (iirc the game used just 30 MB of space on that CD).

- Comment on YSK that Amazon has different prices for different people 5 months ago:
There are definitely different prices when I’m logged in vs when I’m not. My wife sends me a links to products, and I usually open any link in incognito windows. Several times I was not seeing the same price as her. Opening the same link on my account would show the same price.

Same for copyright law. The point was to give creators a few years to profit from their work before it goes into public domain.
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 5 months ago:
That’s my situation at a Silicon Valley tech company. Nobody ever mentioned unions one way or another but I honestly have no idea what I could ask for that I don’t already get. We have good benefits, good perks, everyone works frok home, unlimited PTO that nobody tries to limit or work around (all we are asked for is to give a rough estimate of time we’ll be taking off during each quarter so that it can be factored into planning), good work environment, good pay.

- Comment on Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games 5 months ago:
I grew up as a PC gamer (if you can call 8-bit computers PCs too) and never had a console as a kid. I got an Xbox One when it came out, just because of the Kinect, and never played anything on it other than Just Dance. Playing on my PC is more convenient. I got a Switch and played some Pokémon, but couldn’t get in the habit of playing on a device instead of a PC. When I got a Switch emulator on my PC, I played more on that than I did on the actual Switch in all the time I owned it.
- Comment on The Most Loved Digital Audio Streaming Platforms. 5 months ago:
It’s like saying Microsoft Windows is the most loved OS on PC. People just go with the option in front of them. Spotify is the biggest streaming service now, Amazon Music ties in with Alexa.
- Comment on "Skip ad's" YouTube and "Skip Intro" on Netflix take the same amount of effort but I only hate the former. 5 months ago:
And some shows have a slightly different intro for each episode, which might make you want to watch it every time.
- Comment on "Skip ad's" YouTube and "Skip Intro" on Netflix take the same amount of effort but I only hate the former. 5 months ago:
The intro is the opening sequence of the show. People usually watch that on the first episode, but if you’re binge-watching a show you don’t want to keep seeing the intro over and over again for each episode.
