- Comment on why do people say annoying/rude stuff and then tell you “it was a joke!” 6 hours ago:
it’s a sign of immaturity, imo. a “look at me, senpai” move that hurts other people.

- Comment on White House Faith Office 1 week ago:
incurring more material wealth is the tenet of her faith.
more wealth === more blessed
for sure her greedy god and the jealous god are two different things.

- Comment on Another OpenAI researcher quits—claims AI labs are taking a ‘very risky gamble’ with humanity amid the race toward AGI 2 weeks ago:
good decision, imo. sometimes i also get annoyed if the one i am watching becomes too sweaty completionists.
- Comment on "What Is Your Dream for Mozilla" - Mozilla is doing a survey, questions include "What is most important to you right now about technology and the internet?" 2 months ago:
good set of questions while trying to be non biased on certain topics.
for me, topics about privacy and misinformation matter more than ai. i would like them to lean more on helping me identify ai generated text and deepfakes as far as ai is concerned.
i also liked that mozilla study about smart cars so more of that is nice.

- Comment on Does anyone watch Google, Microsoft, etc the way Cop Watch watches cops? 4 months ago:
sorry, i also didn’t get anything close.
best i can do is bbb.
eff, as has been suggested, is also doing great things, but they’re not specifically the watchdog.
- Comment on How do I know if a medical issue should be addressed by a Clinic Visit, Urgent Care, or the Emergency Room? 4 months ago:
i tend to use the pain scale to give me a hint on decisions like this. so i guess the first question to ask before the pain scale is “am i in a state of shock?”
note: i am not in any medical field nor had intensive training.
- Comment on how do I accept that a doctor earns more than double what I do? 5 months ago:
you can customize the serenity prayer as a form of mantra if it fits you more.
i use it as a constant reminder that life is what we make it to be.
- Comment on Any good games that break the mold 5 months ago:
chronoark lets you die and counts your deaths for you.
anything agatha christie/ hercule poirot is light detective work (good for kids and or newbies) with optional handholding
i remember there’s some good mystery modules with neverwinter nights
morrowind quests don’t coddle at all. they all look like journal entries.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 5 months ago:
aside from great comments here, trump is associated with some religious imagery of having wings. even i can’t believe that flies.
nothing goes as tunnel vision as blind faith.
- Comment on We need more games like The Stanley Parable, so I'm making one! Please share ideas and suggestions about what you want to see in this type of game! 5 months ago:
the part i like the most with the stanley parable is how the narrator (lines and voice acting) has handled each game route.
i feel there’s a mix of excitement and teasing there that makes you follow his lead.
also to add is the clarity of the voice. i didn’t need subs when i played the game.
- Comment on Reddit CEO teases AI search features and paid subreddits 6 months ago:
I think he already got pay-to-search and AI-infiltrated subreddits.
He’s just trying new combos.

- Comment on Help me out here 7 months ago:
There’s one in the Austin Powers movies with a funny scottish accent.
I don’t think he’s not a gamer tho. “Dead sexy” funny guy nonetheless.
- Comment on Would it be possible to run two OSs simultaneously by hibernating one of the OSs? 7 months ago:
in theory, I think you would also need a shared component that enforces the alternating “rules” that both OS understands.
that component also needs to be always awake so it will facilitate hand overs like an OS of OSes.
- Comment on Am I supposed to ask stupid questions here, or *not* ask stupid questions? 9 months ago:
there is no to-ask-or-not,
just questions which are treated as they are.

I understand. I, too, have doubts. Have a nice day.
- Comment on Does more knowledge/awareness have a tendency to reduce enthusiasm for some subjects/activities? 10 months ago:
For me it’s per activity and how you get your fun from it.
Like for example, in a game of hide and seek, the fun part is exploring and finding where people hid, if you already know that then it is not fun anymore. This kind of activity lines the same as with reading books or watching a movie.
On cooking, it is a different kind of fun because the more you know, the more you can apply. Medicine people have the same tendencies as well as athletes for these.
There’s also the type of fun you get with jokes, or for music.
Other people’s mileage may vary as each have their own approaches to different activities.
- Comment on bioluminescence 10 months ago:
this reminded me of the clock girls story, “radium girls”, I think.
but since bioluminescence is powered differently, it’s a way better approach than artificial splashes of paint.

- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 11 months ago:
A redditor bot is a viable example of a forum member bot.
IMO, I don’t think it can drive topics, but it could make things controversial.

so the next best thing is to never give up.
you’ll find the one that can see you over those imperfections!
- Comment on How can a ugly and short guy compensate for his looks? 11 months ago:
There’s a lot of preferences out there. Most try to chase unicorns but each of them have their own phases.
I think you can compensate it by not giving up, or just know when your time to chase unicorns is over.

- Comment on More and more USB sticks and microSD cards are being made with dubious components — data recovery firm uncovers no-name, low-quality NAND inside many devices 1 year ago:
the hard drive portion feels more expected because there’s moving parts in there.
with SSDs and USB sticks it’s more chanced because we can’t see the insides before buying.
maybe it’s time for a clear/neon- plastic comeback but this time with usb sticks?
