- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 11 hours ago:
I honestly hate the dualshock design. It’s more about aesthetics then it is ergonomics. The controller was always too small for me and the thumb placement never felt right. I really liked the original Xbox controller and was pissed they never released a large version of their controllers afterwards. It was the only one that never gave me hand cramps after long sessions.
The N64 controller wasn’t a good controller in hindsight, but it was an experimental controller, because like I already said, Nintendo didn’t know how game devs would want to use an analog stick. The center was ambidextrous, so there were three different holding configurations. I have more issue with the Game Cube controller with it’s analog nub. It wasn’t comfortable to use ever and they should have realized that by then.

People mock the N64 controller, but it was designed to allow developers three different configurations to design their game around and let them decide what was best. It’s really not a bad shape overall.

It’s was weird hearing the “debates” about where or not men should still open doors for women in an equal society when the obvious solution was for everyone to hold doors open for everyone else. Are you at the door first? Hold it open. Is the other person’s hands full? Hold it open.
- Comment on Another one for today 1 day ago:
I’m just happy that around me, everyone just holds doors for everyone else, regardless of gender. Guys hold open doors for guys. Girls hold open doors for guys. It’s not weird.

25 years ago. Every study on social media and mental health back then showed it was bad.

It was sort of funny, but it only had one punchline and wore out quickly for me. Shock humor has a really low retention rate. Come that to say, Rejected or the parody GI Joe PSAs, they’re really not great and a wonder why Youtube hired them to make their old copyright volition training videos.

I have politically active friends who are supposedly privacy minded blasting their takes on facebook and complaining when they get banned for inciting violence. Most people are terrible at this and the algos the feds use probably aren’t that great. I’m more likely to get grabbed randomly.

I’ve always isolated my username from irl stuff and I don’t make any social media posts from my irl stuff. You’d have to be very interested in me specifically and I’ve always tried to be slightly less noisy then the background noise.
- Comment on Homeland Security Spying on Reddit Users 3 days ago:
I used reddit for over a decade, but I was never willing to buy reddit gold or support it because I didn’t trust any site where I shared my political opinions to have those opinions tied with by real name or any other billing info. Same with discord. At least with lemmy, you can support it without tying it to your account.

There’s an idea among foreigners that Americans use Mayo in every meal. It’s because there’s a set prop list for refrigerators in productions that every sitcom uses.
Another example is the Transatlantic accent. At most, it was just used by actors and public announcers because it was clear and easy to understand. The general public didn’t talk like that.

Zhang Yiming? I could only find him denying he’s Singaporean. Everything says he’s Chinese. It could be bullshit if he’s cozying up to the PRC, but that only proves my point.

I don’t believe that for a minute. The CCP just had more subtle methods for suppressing content critical of them.

The useful AI is in scientific research and accounts for a fraction of a percentage of electricity used in “AI”. It’s not sexy. It’s not hip. And it’s not going to replace any workers, so the tech bros don’t care.

A lot of modern problems can actually be blamed on Freud’s nephew, Edward Bernays.
an Austrian-American pioneer in the field of public relations and propaganda, referred to in his obituary as “the father of public relations”. While credited with advancing the profession of public relations, his techniques have been criticized for manipulating public opinion, often in ways that undermined individual autonomy and democratic values.
