Garry’s mod/source games is about the closest we have to that. Or i guess Roblox too…?

“Yeah so we got back to his place, and it looked like a thumb” “omg it was that small??” “No you don’t understand, it looked like a thumb”
- Comment on Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City 5 weeks ago:
Yep, anonymous browsers, burner accounts, and a VPN if you can. Privacy.sexy is your friend too.
You just want to set yourself up as best you can for the defense of “you can’t prove that was me.”
- Comment on Hypothetically, if you are in prison and want to communicate with the outside world without being detected, what are some ways to hide a message within an innocuous letter? 5 weeks ago:
I mean it really depends on how much trouble you’re in. If you’re in deep they’re gonna be watching every thing you do no matter what. So any kind of message that looks suspect is gonna be investigated, even stuff like “Aunt Mary” or whatever is gonna have someone trying to figure it out.
The best way to do it is to exit the monitored communication entirely, either a burner phone with coded language, or having your communications come from someone else on the inside. That’s really the only way you’ll get around it, and even that can still be caught.
- Comment on Late 1900s 5 weeks ago:
Century has that human element because “last century” is where old people are from. You wouldn’t meet people from the last millennium, but you know people from the last century. It’s 100 years, that’s a lifetime. Implying that you’re from the “last” one means you’re not from “this” one. Aka, ancient.

Nonono you don’t understand, lootboxes make us money! Thats not gambling.
Playing cards though? Oh that’s definitely gambling. Go fish? Gambling. Solitaire? Definitely gambling. 52 pick-up? Straight to gambling.
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 1 month ago:
I mean that’s part of the thing right? “Who dares wins” is a great mantra until you lose. Nobody can predict the future so a lot of times the greed carries out until it’s literally irreversible. That’s why it’s so important to have people on the other end defending from the greed, from the people that will hoard and take until they die on their pile of gold.
At least for the US there is always a feeling of doom and worry and “it’s going to pop” but until it actually does, the greed will continue to take. That’s part of the system for better or worse. It can’t be stopped, but defending the people from the repercussions of that greed is what we have to do.
There’s always someone that will try to bring too much on the lifeboat. Rules are needed to stop them from sinking the whole ship.
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 2 months ago:
As others have said, the stock market has little to do with reality. It’s focused on money and business reports. As long as companies are showing profits, the stock market literally doesn’t care.
Something only hits it when businesses hit it. Look at today’s market. Walmart posted bad futures and the whole market recoiled (only a bit but still).
There’s also just the denial phase. Lots of people, at lots of levels, are dependent on the stock market for their own finances. Literally everyone with a 401k has an interest in the market doing well. Saying “welp, we’re fucked” is just not something that anyone wants to put towards wall street. It’s why we have market “crashes”, because people hold out until the water covers the bow of the sinking shop then they freak out and bail out at the last second.

Not sure if you’re joking but that was a real ad campaign for the PSP that was just. Perfect lol
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 months ago:
It doesn’t matter without scope. Are we looking at a database of SSNs? tax records? A sign in log? The social security number database might require uniques in some way, but tax records could be the same person over multiple years. A sign in gives a unique identifier but you could be signing in every day.
It’s like saying a car VIN shows up multiple times in a database. Where? What database? Was it sold? Tickets? Registered every year?
This is nothing more than a “assume I mean immigrants or tax fraud and get mad!” inflammatory statement with no proof or reason.

Enough data over time I bet you could. Get a couple drop recordings, arm swing, common heights of beds/desks/chairs, you could find it.
Would it be automated or easy? Hell no. But you can do it. We’ve discovered more with less

Yeah VGA is still pretty much gold standard for supportability in my experience. It’s like a console port with baud rate settings, worst case scenario those two should always work.

Isn’t there a whole big deal about Fred Meyer merging with them and some anti monopoly bs going on?

Yeah see it’s not surge pricing! We actually lower prices whentheresnobodyintheaisle so that the discounts are passed on to you! Also we lost the lowered price in the ads and apps so when you come in you can be surprised by power of our tech! and the updated price
