Not really. I pretty much exclusively use my desktop pc for gaming. I have a laptop for doing work on.

Only shit thing is a couple online games I like playing are dicks about their anti cheat and not wanting to be Linux compatible.

No they didn’t. That’s why ebolapie’s comment has so many more upvotes than yours. You really suck with context.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 4 days ago:
My comprehension? You directly replied to a response about schools to talk about how your kids didn’t know all of their alphabets yet, but somehow thought everyone would get your “joke” because your kids aren’t in school yet.
So explain to me why you think that makes sense?

It’s that to be good you have to think several moves ahead. Being able to predict and plan out you and the opponents next 5 moves takes intelligence.

Makes the range look longer, also.

Lol. It’s close enough for government work.

Do your own math and just admit you were wrong. If the youngest is 1 and the oldest if 15, then over half of them are 0ast the point where they should know how to write and spell at least simple words. That also means most of them are not “very young” and that most of them are school age.

Gen Alpha started in 2010, dude. Some of them are 15 at this point.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 6 days ago:
Bad grammar as well. I see posts all the time where people don’t even put periods at the ends of their sentences.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 6 days ago:
There’s definite bleed over , and the differences are loose generalities than facts, but there’s definite patterns that emerge between music, fashion, and technology.
Like how gen Z and especially A can’t really use computers or understand file structure well, or that mellennials are the last gen who mostly know cursive. Or blow anti bully gen z is compared to earlier gens.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 6 days ago:
Danged gen z/late millennial parents not teaching their kids the alphabet before/during kindergarten.
Lol
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 6 days ago:
No, but your spelling is.
- Comment on Ok, thanks... 6 days ago:
Gen A got left behind on spelling and grammar. Too much of it that they use is automated, they find grammar to be lame, and thanks to our “pass kids or lose funding” system of public schools they all just get to coast through while not really learning much.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
Deepwater was not terror related. It was just an accident of ineptitudes. Waco did not begin or end on 4-20, or was even going on over 4-20.
I did forget about Oklahoma happening on 4-20, though. So like two things in the past 100 years, both over 20 years ago. That’s not a pattern at all.
- Comment on Bluesky has started honoring takedown requests from Turkish government 1 week ago:
Not really much “American terror” on 4-20 except for the columbine massacre.
- Comment on Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. Plan 1 week ago:
The context of this entire topic and story and everything in this comments section, aside from you, clearly infers that this is all talking about subs in a different language.
- Comment on Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. Plan 1 week ago:
Do you just keep going until in your own mind you believe you weren’t wrong? Sometimes people say stupid things. No one is immune to that.
- Comment on Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. Plan 1 week ago:
In the crunchyroll/anime world, subs is pretty much exclusively a translation to a different language.
- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 1 week ago:
Gen alpha hasn’t really been taught how to spell and they think grammar is stupid.
- Comment on Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. Plan 1 week ago:
Lol. Not at all. A well done subtitle changes a lot from a close translation because languages like going from Japanese to English don’t directly translate and still flow. Especially jokes and little quips. AI translations can’t do it at all. You’ll be able to understand the words and get most of the story, but it’s overall makes for a much more lackluster translation than recording everything to make it good.
- Comment on Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. Plan 1 week ago:
The truth is that right now AI would just do an outright shit job of subtitles. Let alone voice acting any of it. CR’s stance will change years down the line when AI’s abilities change.
- Comment on xkcd #3075: Anachronym Challenge 1 week ago:
Nope. Not reversed. The guy I responded to thinks that almost everyone (9,999 out of 10,000) knows sidewalk chalk isn’t made out of chalk. I’m saying it’s not even as common as 9 out of 10 know that sidewalk chalk isn’t made out of chalk.
In fact, I’d say the odds are more like 1 out of 2, at best. Possibly even that more people would give the wrong answer than the right one.

I still prefer to buy sponge sponges. They work better than most of the non sponges.
- Comment on xkcd #3075: Anachronym Challenge 1 week ago:
Yeah… that’s really not in the 1 in 10k catagory. Not even the 1 in 10 catagory.

If the hole in your needle is that large, you don’t need this lame trick. It would be a pita to try and do this with most needles.

No. Pretty sure that isn’t it.

I feel like the gnome inside was an old cartoon/animation, but I can’t quite remember.
