Cool motive. Still gross.
Actually, not cool motive. The man is a eugenics supporter and is trying to fill the world with his genes.

If I’m seeing the word “AI” outside of academic research or shitposting, it’s almost certainly coming from a Techbro or techbro simp.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 2 days ago:
I never really worried to much about continuity errors. The worse is Halsey being in two different places during the events of Fall of Reach book and the game Reach. The Forerunner books actually smoothed that stuff out by explaining when huge amounts of materials pass though Slipspace or go far too fast through Slipspace(remember that crystal?), temporal errors build up and you get a timeline slit. Unlike most scifi timeline splits though, in Halo, the lines can reconverge and Reconcile without most people realizing it happen. Halo 5 made a little nod to that with Halsey’s “Casual Reconciliation” line. Somewhere in the Halo universe, some bookkeep is pulling their hair out trying to figure out how Halsey departed Reach twice.

Not necessarily beloved, but I hated the tone and genre shift between Jak and Daxter and Jak 2. I hated the driving sections so much, that that’s where I put the game down. Looking back, I guess they wanted to make a different game, but had to make a sequel?

It’s explained in the game that the Covenant faction you fight is a splinter faction. There’s more details in the books, I didn’t have problems when I played it.

Terrible idea. Hopefully it never catches on or we’re all in deep shit.

- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 week ago:
Concrete doesn’t house CO2. When they created Biodome2, the engineers didn’t factor in the curing time and CO2 output and the scientists had to vent the facility or suffocate.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 week ago:
That’s comparing Apples to Shampoo. To completely different concepts and it’s not an either/or situation.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 week ago:
Their intention was to bolster the economy with busy work, but that’s not a long term solution.
- Comment on Too bad we can't have good public transportation 1 week ago:
Just a reminder that concrete releases huge amounts of CO2 as it cures. Empty cities don’t help anyone.
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 1 week ago:
If you really want to sign the petition, fine. Just call them before doing that.
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 1 week ago:
Change.org and email can be ignored automatically. Calling them costs them call center money.
- Comment on Petition to tell MasterCard, Visa, and activist groups to stop censoring legal fictional content 1 week ago:
Don’t waste your time with change.org. Call your CC company directly and complain. Not email. Call.
- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 1 week ago:
Marketers don’t want to make ads that both work with and without the video. Radio ads and tv ads are put together differently. Ever listen to a video ad on audio only and have no idea what they’re selling?
- Comment on As Spotify moves to video, the environmental footprint of music streaming hits the high notes 1 week ago:
Ads. Ads are more important to them the anything else.

A bad joke may just be a joke, but it’s also just bad.

It’d be nice to set your mobile in one and have it connect to other units in a house to mimic landlines.

I don’t know why anyone thinks cell towers are uglier then the facades they put in front of cell towers.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 2 weeks ago:
I don’t use my phone for shit like this. If anything that could be just a website can only be used through an “app”, I just don’t use it.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 2 weeks ago:
It should be trivial to generate a stack of similar enough selfies to fool these systems. Still, any site that starts requiring this shit isn’t worth going on.
- Comment on Reddit users in the UK must now upload selfies to access NSFW subreddits 2 weeks ago:
And it would know the difference how?
- Comment on Gallium 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a big deal, but it is funny how it happened. Never heard of any of these people or the company before, so I have nothing invested in this.

- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 3 weeks ago:
I don’t really know. I operate under the assumption that my phone is always a piece of spyware and minimize what’s actually on it or what it can hear.
- Comment on Feds in Catalonia, Spain think everyone using a Google Pixel must be a drug dealer 3 weeks ago:
Yes. Yes it does.
Or more accurately, they can’t search your phone without you knowing with GrapheneOS, so they have to get a judge to force you to willing unlock it.
