Honey this is gross she’s better off without ya
- Comment on How do you gently tell someone you only want to keep seeing them if it's on a dating level? 2 days ago:
I cannot fathom why you would want to date someone you don’t want as a friend unless you’re just horny about them and misdirecting that into romance.
- Comment on Chilled factory-builder shapez 2 gets a massive upgrade 2 days ago:
Here’s vouching for shapez 2 and their dev team clearly having a phenomenal handle on what makes a factory game fun. They’ve distilled it to its essence while keeping things casual and relaxed. There’s no resource limits or biters to worry about, just build the factory using their intuitive UI and blueprint system and have fun at your own pace.
- Comment on Korean game unions demand abolition of comprehensive wage system to improve conditions 2 days ago:
That might be true and my opinion on AI may differ should the shackles of capitalism be broken.
But they’re not so it’s slop and harmful.
- Comment on Korean game unions demand abolition of comprehensive wage system to improve conditions 2 days ago:
Wild to report on pro union news but use Gen AI instead of real art.
That sucks ass

Crinch Noge??
- Comment on Can I replace honey with maple syrup? 5 days ago:
You could, or add in some sugar. My experience with this kind of substitution is mostly in baking where volumes and ratios are far more important. In this application, it’s a little more loosey goosey, so I’d say try a 1:1 swap and if it’s not sweet enough, use more next time or toss a lil sugar on it.
- Comment on Can I replace honey with maple syrup? 5 days ago:
Short answer, yes. Long answer, honey contains less liquid than maple syrup while being sweeter. This matters far more when baking than anything else so you should be fine in coating the granola with maple syrup instead of honey. That said, since it’s more liquid than honey, you may have to add something to stabilize it like a pinch of starch, though I’m not sure that’s truly necessary in this application.
- Comment on North Korea lambasts Trump's Golden Dome plan 1 week ago:
It’s a similar issue to Regan’s Star Wars plan. Militarizing space opens a can of worms that could be very hard to close.
- Comment on A growing number of young chinese people are avoiding Starbucks Coffee. US executives are furious. 2 weeks ago:
A pork latte sounds incredibly disgusting, what a stupid idea
- Comment on What would I need to do to successfully paint with my own menstrual blood? 3 weeks ago:
I can’t help with your art, but I’m curious about the connection between the t shot and menstrual cycles. Bf has been getting closer and closer to mustering the courage to figure out how to get on T, so I’m curious to hear some of the side effects people have.

That feels like a sound read on things.
I think a lot will have to change before America elects a woman, gay man, Jew or anyone else outside of the white straight man again.
One could talk about the qualities of each candidate and argue how Hillary Clinton, Sanders, Buttigieg, Harris etc weren’t as strong as X other candidate, but twice now we’ve seen highly qualified candidates lose either primaries to a senile, milquetoast sack or generals to an unqualified demagogue.
The country is fucked up.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
While there’s no rule on the books, of course, it took a massive (coopted) grassroots movement to elect someone with a different skin color. I think a lot of Americans are backwards thinking and he would struggle.
- Comment on GTA 6 has been delayed, even though Take-Two boss kept telling everyone it wouldn't be 4 weeks ago:
Kerbal Space Program. They bought the IP and really bungled the development of the sequel then dumped it unfinished and ownerless
- Comment on GTA 6 has been delayed, even though Take-Two boss kept telling everyone it wouldn't be 4 weeks ago:
A reminder to steal every Take-Two game. Fuck Take-Two for what they did to KSP.
- Comment on I am playing Far Cry 5 do you think it would be possible for the cultists in game to start their own massive movement in todays America? 4 weeks ago:
You mean like Q Anon? That decentralized cult ended up storming the capitol a few years ago. Or maybe more like the NXIVM cult that still operates despite its leader being in jail? Or Scientologists which have successfully infiltrated many parts of Hollywood?
- Comment on My husband who is 31 comes pretty quickly. I can rarely enjoy for more than 10min of penetration. Any secret tip for him to last longer? 4 weeks ago:
Kind of a roundabout tip, but maybe more foreplay before penetration will have you both closer to coming around the same time.
- Comment on Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion's level scaling was a "mistake", says designer, so why is it in the remaster? 5 weeks ago:
I never thought the scaling was an issue, but it was goofy to see bandits in glass armor trying to mug you when they’re obviously quite wealthy already.
- Comment on China plans to build nuclear plant on the moon to power base shared with Russia 5 weeks ago:
Fair but also their post history makes it seem like they’re behaving for once, soooooo who knows?
- Comment on China plans to build nuclear plant on the moon to power base shared with Russia 5 weeks ago:
Whoa Universal Monk found an instance where they haven’t made an account yet.
Always a surprise
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, but I didn’t remember it being specific about the injury. Also it’s fun to say “Worf kicked a kid in half”
- Comment on Do you have any “headcanons” (so to speak) about the Star Trek TNG characters? 5 weeks ago:
He kicked a kid in half

Worf is a racist misogynistic deadbeat dad and its amazing he’s tolerated.
Rewatching Birthright had me absolutely disgusted with Worf “falling in love” with like a 16 year old he peeps on bathing in a pond then saying “you’re an abomination” when he finds out she’s half romulan

They’re all relatively mad compared to the rest of the population of the UFP.
In a post scarcity socialist utopia, the people we see on screen are almost exclusively a group of folks that when offered the chance to do whatever they wanted they decided some of the most dangerous occupations imaginable. Where death is on the line almost daily due to unforeseen consequences.
They coulda ran a restaurant, researched their passion projects on a Starbase, lounged about eternally and they decided to expose themselves to weekly hazards no one could have possibly predicted.
Anyone in Star Fleet is kind of addicted to danger innit
- Comment on Discord appoints former Activision Blizzard exec Humam Sakhnini as CEO 1 month ago:
So IRC is really cool huh
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Don’t be subtle. Be direct and frank. “Dad, I don’t want to hear you having sex with your new girlfriend and I shouldn’t have to put up with it twice a day. Either be quiet or do it when I’m not home.” Throw in some imitations of him or her. He should be mortified enough to behave. Better yet, tell it to both of them face to face. That way there can be no confusion between all parties.
- Comment on Is 4chan dead forever? Where are the refugees going? 1 month ago:
I think we need a place to contain 4chan users lest the rest of the internet be potentially exposed to one.

Thanks! I read far too quickly
- Comment on Haitian reparations to France back on the agenda, 200 years after independence 1 month ago:
Shouldn’t it be the other way around?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
There are styles of tanktops that are meant to be undershirts and I think that would be inappropriate, though I think just because it feels like you’re half dressed. It would be weird to just wear an undershirt out in public.
But there’s plenty of tank tops available now that aren’t like that and I think those are fine.
