Really? How do you get that from “you retain your rights and give Twitter a license to use your content”? Retaining rights literally means not giving them up.
- Comment on The world's first foldable phone maker is now out of business 2 months ago:
Would you say the technology is developed far enough?
I’m definitely interested, as the phone screen size is often a bit too small. But any mechanical movement makes me nervous on a small device that should last multiple years.
- Comment on LG’s first 480Hz OLED gaming monitor is $1,000 2 months ago:
Sure, but why do you expect the input lag to be different for the different monitors that were tested? If that’s the case, we should be able to point at those differences in the test setup, instead of saying “yeah, they were probably just too dumb”.
The game logic also shouldn’t be different, as CS logic hasn’t been reliant on frame rates for a long time (if ever).

Please kindly fuck off. I don’t want Sonys bullshit touching these games.
- Comment on LG’s first 480Hz OLED gaming monitor is $1,000 2 months ago:
What is “game engine granularity” supposed to mean?
Unless they fucked up the test, the only difference is how fast pictures arrive on the screen. If the test showed that pro players were able to tell a difference, it’s reasonable to assume that this is actually the case, unless you can show a flaw in their test setup.

Ima do brussel sprouts on garlic bread just to make you mad.
- Comment on Zero to Hero 2 months ago:
Brussel sprouts literally have become less bitter over the last few decades, but depending on where you get yours they might still be using older variants. Maybe try a different source?
I literally just clean mine, cut them in half & remove stems, toss them with olive oil & salt & pepper, then roast them cut-side down. Perfect every time.

That doesn’t even make sense. If anything it would obviously be Baseball players.
- Comment on Bears Cave 2 months ago:
I assume so. Just compare the amount of resources both parties are able to invest in PR - if the Romans had defeated them, you’d have heard by now.
- Comment on Tiger Predators 2 months ago:
Depends where they are.
If they replace the ears? Goofy but harmless.
If they replace the tail? Run for your life, that’s the equivalent of a full horde of monkeys on steroids.

- Comment on Trump cosplaying 3 months ago:
When he went to the bathroom earlier to do the mud pie… he must have used too small of a slice of toilet paper when he wiped, and he got mud pie on his tiny hands, and then he touched the fries, and then someone ate the fries, and now they are sick off of his mud pie.

So you’re saying we just have to add a “horse farm” minigame that has to be played every time the units are used?

- Comment on Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers. 4 months ago:
No, it’s not just about stalkers, it’s about harassment in general. But even if it were, even stalkers are still people and don’t work fundamentally different.
Feel free to show any research proving me wrong, but unless you find any, the reasonable position is “humans work the same on this topic as on others”.
- Comment on Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers. 4 months ago:
I know, but it still didn’t fully remove it.
Sure, but it doesn’t have to be fully removed to have an effect.
The thing is that there really is no price, nor was there ever one. Your suggestion that you think there is demonstrates that the way blocking worked gave people dangerously wrong ideas.
Sorry, but you don’t get to define how humans work. There is a price, because friction reduces the likelihood of people following through. You might not want to believe this to be the case, but please read studies on the topic - it’s just how humans work. You don’t get to dismiss negative effects because you don’t believe in them.
- Comment on Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers. 4 months ago:
Twitter massively reduced visibility for logged-out users, so just logging out doesn’t help, you have to log into a different account. This additional fraction reduces the amount of harassment a lot. Not sure that being “more honest” is worth the price, especially when an info box could achieve the same without making harassment easier.

Because it’s not yet a child. It has the potential to become one, but it isn’t yet. Seriously, you can’t be daft enough not to understand the difference.
