• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you argue for a cause like affordable housing for everyone, is it necessarily hypocritical if you also own investment properties?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  If you don’t make profit then either you’re losing money or straddling the line between profit and losing money, neither of which is sustainable. Then someone else will come in and try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hollow Knight: Silksong is out now on Steam - and it broke Steam servers for 15 minutes and counting now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I can get lost and then spend time “progressing” only to find the way blocked and having to backtrack

  You mean you GET to backtrack

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An activist has started using AI to identify ICE agents beneath their masks⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Skeptical about the accuracy, given everything we’ve seen AI do so far.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  22yo women date 30yo+ men all the time

  Maybe not so much the other way around

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I quit my job to make my own game. Toll Booth Simulator⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t understand what a lot of those activities have to do with toll booths

  The drinking animation needs a lot of work, or just skip it and have it be instantaneous with a gulp sound

  The woman’s head getting bigger from the drink is bizarre and disturbing

  The woman spewing liquid out from her mouth doesn’t look great

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  There are significant differences between the two. Real’s got wrinkles and sunburnt arms. So the guy was right, the drawing isn’t realistic.

  That said, we shouldn’t expect drawings to be realistic. If you wanted realistic, why aren’t you watching a live-action film?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Coinbase CEO explains why he fired engineers who didn’t try AI immediately⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They know the thing they’ve got going on now isn’t working so they have to latch onto anything new

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of guys are held back by looks and/or confidence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Much of our media depicts men in successful relationships, handsome, with a good circle of friends, decent jobs etc.

  Guys see this and think there’s something wrong because their reality isn’t matching that media.

  It’s more exciting to think you’re observing a widespread social phenomenon than to admit your expectations were shaped by fiction.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨what books about personal boundaries do you know that don't mention god?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard good things about Polysecure. I understand your question doesn’t pertain to non-monogamy, but non-monogamy is an extension of being able to set and respect boundaries yourself rather than simply adopting boundaries that are the default in your community, so maybe it would be helpful?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3132: Coastline Similarity⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re right, you shouldn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The damage comes from strain, which can be caused by trying to see through the wrong prescription of lenses (or no lenses).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come glasses for hyperopia/farsightedness (reading glasses) are there on the shelves, but glasses for myopia require a prescription?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In response to your 2nd paragraph hypothetical, no, because the changes you’re describing are all forms of damage. You’d have to replace or repair the lens in the eye to revert the damage, and simply looking through a different type of external lens isn’t going to achieve that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Peak⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Why are viewers much, much more likely to complain about big boobs than small boobs

  Boobs like the ones in the OP exist

  If I see something I don’t care for, I just hide it and move on

  But not small-boob fans! They have to let everyone know when boobs are too big for their tastes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fan Subber⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Some phrases might not make any sense though

  Try to do a direct translation of “you’re darn tootin’” and see if the viewers have any idea why the character is accusing the other person of fixing socks while operating a train horn

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Solar powered personal umbrella with battery?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Solar cells are crystalline and rigid. You wouldn’t be able to fold the umbrella up and put it away. Also, as someone else pointed out, solar cells work best in sunlight… which you won’t want an umbrella for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people hate coldplay?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They, like many other bands, stopped doing what they were good at, to experiment. It’s not as good.

  I don’t hate them, but their good albums were a long time ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the equivalent of rose coloured glasses for always seeing something in a negative perspective?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Trauma

  It doesn’t take very long to look at ratings. If it’s crap it’ll have crap ratings.

  Read reviews. Examine promotional materials. Discuss with friends.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve gets pressured by payment processors with a new rule for game devs and various adult games removed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Immersion and customizability

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨xkcd #3115: Unsolved Physics Problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It looks better than his natural hair did

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you see magic eye pictures?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes.

  The instructions say don’t cross your eyes but that’s horseshit and probably why so many people fail to see them.

  My method is to cross my eyes, then uncross them slowly until the 3d effect appears, then hold on that position.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your sons are speaking from their experience, which may not be the same as yours.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does Dairy Queen sell food?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Hot eats cool treats. That was the slogan 20 years ago. Get some nuggets and a blizzard.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t pay someone to steal something. The police will view conspiracy to commit theft much more harshly than blasting music.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Your Mom is hurting and lashing out.

  You don’t need to fight her battles for her. But you can support her by spending time with her. If she doesn’t appreciate that, you can stop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on your gender you’re heteroflexible or homoflexible
