- Comment on Embracer will split into three companies, including Middle-earth & Friends 2 weeks ago:
Anyone starting a betting pool on how long the “indie” and A/AA components last before being scrapped for parts or folded back under the big money house? This just sounds like complicated restructuring to prepare for decommissioning or sale to me.
- Comment on My moon is in Silty Loam but my Sun sign is Clay. 5 weeks ago:
Somehow I’m bothered that Sandy Clay Loam and Silty Clay Loam are both a thing, but Loam is already the “Silty Sandy Low-Clay Loam” and a the middle-most area is “Clay Loam” instead of pure loam. WHY IS CLAY’S POWER SO GREAT!?
Is this what keeps the soil kingdoms in balance? The two rivals, silt and sand, locked in eternal hatred and yet forced to cooperate to maintain balance against the all consuming Clay Empire?
- Comment on Bill Maher, John Cleese rail against The New York Times: 'Sad' it's no longer a 'great newspaper' 1 month ago:
I hate when I agree with the premise (the NYT does suck) but know they’re going to be wrong about everything else.
- Comment on Mountain feature wall in child's bedroom 2 months ago:
Looks pretty cool, not gonna lie though, the stark black paint and odd unexpected angle (as I scroll the feed on my phone) gave me major Hoise of Leaves vibes! I’d be haunted by that wall, haha

I think the joke here is that in Super Mario Bros (NES), the bushes are recolored clouds, with their bottoms hidden by the ground. By changing the reference to Skyrim, you get a surrealist joke.
Anyway, that’s what I thought the reference was and it made me heartily lol!

- Comment on Can someone explain why authors do this? 2 months ago:
I used to have a big list of gender ambiguous names I’d use for examples. So I’d use “Alex” and “Blake” or something like that. It also had some non-anglo names on it, just to spice things up.
In comp sci papers there’s a few other common example people. “I” for intruder or imposter (Irene, Isaac). “M” often for malicious or middle-person (Mal). There’s a few more im forgetting now.

Why hast thou forsaken me, oh Lord?
- Comment on I code with fear 2 months ago:
Is this that “waterfall method” I’ve heard so much about?
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
It’s an interesting space version of non-interventionism. In the real world, intervention is a very complex issue to navigate. Particularly since most forms of national intervention have monetary drivers that make the choice much more about how it benefits the intervening country rather than the intervened.
I think DS9 is the only series to really address Statfleet’s long term effects of intruding onto other cultures and forcing them to change.
- Comment on Me after I got fired 2 months ago:
Pick a library you already use with many sub-dependencies. Make a new library with your evil code. Name it in line with the step 1 library. Oh hi there “Framework.Microsoft.Extensions.DB.Net.Compatibility” you couldn’t possibly have anything bad going on in you, plus you sound really boring to review, I’m sure it’s fine.

Makes the error a little too frequent, but does obscure any performance penalty and is some truly evil genius work!

- Comment on Now! Nowwwwww! 2 months ago:
Not only all of time, but all of possibility. Everything that can occur, must. We exist as a single thread in the tangled ball of infinity, experiencing only one possible moment at a time.

People who do nitrous recreationally are desperate for that medical-grade dentist hookup already. No blackmail needed.
Now using incriminating video to get me to floss regularly, that could work…

- Comment on If X was a sandwich: Spock 4 months ago:
This is too cruel! Spock could at least be smoked chicken! He has seasonings, and they’re actually more intense than human seasonings! It’s why he must struggle so hard to control them, with white bread and mayo, (maybe some capers for a light touch of alien zing).
- Comment on Milking machine 4 months ago:
Too embarrassed to crank one at the hospital, but not too embarrassed to have a machine suck you off while you stand at the row of machines with all the other donors. Urinal etiquette does apply, btw! Don’t be That Guy who goes straight for the middle BJ Bot!

🤣 To think such art and beauty could still exist in our fallen world.
- Comment on Butthurt 4 months ago:
Sometimes the phrase “he monch butt” will just pop into my head, and I’ll remember this meme and laugh or smile to myself.
It does tend to distract the person who’s ass I’m eating at the time though.

- Comment on will the fediverse stop existing?? 4 months ago:
What people should be worried about is Meta (or anyone) trying to extend the AP protocol with proprietary stuff or trying to create fake regulations around their own “standards.”
You see this today with Gmail, where even though you can host your own email server, most major services (like gmail) will autoblock you as a spammer. Even though email is an open federated protocol, it’s become captured both by big business and failures in the protocol (to prevent spam and abuse).
AP and the fediverse are maybe more resilient than that. And existing fediverse servers seem to be somewhat diverse and figuring out ways to pay for hosting. That will be the biggest danger is that Threads becomes a default choice due to: low/no cost to join, good uptime, and lots of people you know.
But I think the rest of the fediverse will be around for a long time yet, it’s only really just started to take off!
