“Luigi” is a direct call for violence, especially with the context. People are able to understand what you are talking about and you don’t need to say “I WILL KILL YOU” to “be in trouble”.
- Comment on I've started playing The Witcher. No, not the good one. 1 day ago:
What you need to understand is that cdprojekt was basically a barely functioning, very new studio over 20 years ago when they made the first Witcher. Foreign markets weren’t a focus. The game was made with Poland in mind - especially because nobody outside of Poland even heard of the Witcher then. In Poland, it was the best selling game of all time when it came out. That’s why the acting is wooden in english - it just isn’t the market it was made for.

The acting isn’t awkward in polish. Shit’s funny as hell sometimes, Talar gets quoted regularly by people who have played it

How much energy was used to bring the truckload of groceries into the shop that one time so hundreds of people can use it?

If only transgender people killed everyone they interacted with, there wouldn’t be any transphobia /s
Grow up. She’s a murderer and deserves to rot in jail.
- Comment on AI Training Slop 2 days ago:
What’s clear is that you don’t realize how much energy AI actually uses up and you ate up propaganda that you are spreading right now. A querry that runs for 20s to generate an image on a card that uses up at most 350W/h during heavy gaming sessions isn’t magically going to doom the world. Chill out.

False for 0 pidgeons, since you cannot drill a hole into nothing and therefore there isn’t any pidgeons that have at least one hole in them that you have.

The warm air thingie is pointless, it wouldn’t dry anything quicker. Instead, they simply open the door and it airs it out.
- Comment on minor tomfoolery 🛻💨🎶 5 days ago:
It’s censored because a very specific country from which a lot of social media comes from has been created by puritans. Which even centuries later, has people repressing such basic things as sex, cursewords, nudity. Including text / graphical filters that will bury your content and show it to noone, if you don’t do it.

They used to give out their IP to shitty mobile games for pennies. Then they went after actual creators who made something amazing and gated them behind a subscription service.

You touch the hairs inside it and it closes trapping prey. But it’s not “a sting”, not even close, so I dunno what this is about

It’s totally ok to point your gun at people, according to you.

To have a “normal” BMI my brother would need to lose all the fat he has, and chop off his leg. In a general case it’s okay-ish. In specific circumstances it’s totally rubbish.
- Comment on Judge finds police acted reasonably in shooting New Mexico man while at wrong address 1 week ago:
You have a right to hold a gun in your home. You don’t have a right to point said gun at people at your door. No matter if this was a cop or not.
Seriously, people lose all common sense once cops are involved because acab. When the reality often is “you are trying to defend a dude that pulled a gun on people who were at his door”.
- Comment on Judge finds police acted reasonably in shooting New Mexico man while at wrong address 1 week ago:
He grabbed a handgun before answering the door. It doesn’t matter if he pointed it, if he waved it, or shown them how cool he looked with it. You don’t open the door with a gun in hand. What’s the A to Z of doing that? If it’s robbers, do you think you opening the door with a gun makes them magically disappear? What if it’s literally anyone else, because why would a robber knock on the door?
You call it a lack of privilege and I call it stupidity. Grabbing a gun means “I’m about to use deadly force”. Grabbing a gun to a situation that isn’t known to you is escalating everything to 11. As I said. If you are scared, you don’t open the door. Someone breaks in, sure, use that deadly force. But this isn’t that, this is a flashlight being pointed at a dude who knowingly got something that can end another person’s life, who overreacted and literally pulled a gun on cops.
- Comment on Judge finds police acted reasonably in shooting New Mexico man while at wrong address 1 week ago:
Yeah because it is 100% reasonable to answer a door while holding a gun. Something a normal person does. Completely sane.
Oh no wait, a normal person would just not open the door, or call the police themselves, or yell asking “who is it”. Imagine someone got hurt in an accident, they ran up to a house and got greeted by a handgun. Then the story wouldn’t be “fuck the cops” it’d be “fuck guns and the lunatic wielding them”.

Except Omniman cared, just put up a “tough guy” persona to convince his son. He wasn’t sincere, maybe even with himself, and even later said to himself he misses “his wife”. Not “that human”, “the pet”, etc. Same thing with why he didn’t conquer Earth

Cool. Doesn’t change the fact that for a regular joe, “sign up” is what they want to click and then share a link or follow some guy. Not do research on what platform to join, what instance, what’s an instance, what happens if you join a wrong one. The fediverse is a gimmick that most people don’t need.
- Comment on Chances for the fediverse? Elon Musk takes hit as Europeans ditch X in droves 4 weeks ago:
What is instance? There are two buttons - sign up for mastodon or choose another instance, I just want to register etc etc.
People dont care for decentralization, they want to sign up and share a link.

Except for the fact that most people dont like jumping through multiple hoops to register an account / need to do research beforehand to do it.
- Comment on Unfortunately happens too often I think 5 weeks ago:
Don’t let cats chase a laser pointer. They need to catch something to not get frustrated with their “hunt” - which you simulate with playing. Laser pointers are especially bad for this, even if you lead the cat to a treat or something.
- Comment on Social media sites should have 'reverse' Parental Controls; where adult children can block their boomer/senior parents' accounts from viewing conspiracy and radicalizing content. 5 weeks ago:
Yes, senior citizens are more stupid. That’s why scams targetting them exist. You can tell them about something being a scam and they will fall for it anyway. They will get fished by “huge savings” and “sales” despite being millionaires. Once someone starts “sliding back”, it doesn’t matter how smart they used to be.
- Comment on Stepping up from Tinkercad but to what? 1 month ago:
Depends on what stability you are talking about. For freecad, I have to redo the entire part every time I change a dimension and the program doesn’t like it. Which is my main gripe with it - parametric cad that doesn’t like its parameters changed. It was worse before the naming problem was solved, but is still a huge issue. With solidworks and the same designs, we didn’t get as much lag (though it is a huge resource hog), but changing stuff earlier was a breeze and always worked
