Exactly. Good music never ever goes where you expect and should always suspend the listener in a delightful unease.
- Comment on How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness 3 days ago:
I moved from MB to QC in 1999-2003 and I was so shocked by the differences I ended up giving my car to my sister back in MB.
Metro to work would be like 25 minutes including walk, where vehicle to parking to work would be like 1 hour.
- Comment on How extreme car dependency is driving Americans to unhappiness 3 days ago:
I just want to share my perspective. I just had my car totaled (not my fault) and I decided to bank the insurance payout and not rebuy, and see what it was like. I didn’t think I’d cope since I’m now 50 and had a car my whole life from age 16.
I’m actually a little shocked to say I don’t I miss the car, and further I actively enjoy not having a car anymore. It did necessitate rearranging some of my habits, but now I save a shitload of money and I seem to find it more convenient in more ways than I expected. And it’s just so much less stress and worry.
I’ve never been fitter, and the freedom from lugging it around, gassing it up, washing it, maintaining, finding parking, blabla saves me time and bother almost everywhere. I stress so much less because of constant vandalism, and needing to seek stable non-ticketed parking at friends’ places and at my apartment.
There are times I need to do a big shopping thing or just go to the beach, I rent a car for a day. I don’t need to live a life of deprivation I just re-balanced things. If I need to go out for some special occasion I cab/uber round trip.
- Comment on Is there any way to search through all the games on Steam for titles that don't use the word "dystopian" anywhere in the description? 4 days ago:
There’s lots of different approaches, but I’ve had the same problem.
Steam lets you exclude tags, but they limit how many tags you can exclude so it’s basically a useless feature.
I go to steamDB and it has a ton of sorting options, including being able to exclude “Lovecraftian”, “visual novel”, “dating*”, etc
There’s also a great browser extension for Firefox which is my preferred browser. It enhances the Steam homepage (depending on how you configure it) and lets you do lots of things like quick-sell cards and other stuff.
- Comment on Facebook and Instagram to Unleash AI-Generated ‘Users’ No One Asked For 4 days ago:
Facebook was a wonderful tool for me for quite a while. It let me build a digital list of my irl “friends” and then I got watch over the years as they posted their most vile and ill-conceived innermost thoughts.
An excellent tool for seeing what people really think and feel when they’re not “performing” in social settings. Curiously people don’t understand that public posts to a public SM site aren’t anonymous but there’s enough separation from the “real world” that lots of people forget that.
Just sitting back and watching gave me a lot of insight as to how awful people really are when they “feel like” they aren’t being watched.

My ex GF bought me those and they were great for the first 12 months then they both deformed.

Help you keep the shape when sliding the foot in, especially in nicer shoes.
- Comment on Where does a man get a proper shoe horn that will not break 2 months ago:
No. I just have large feet. All my shoes are in great condition and the reason I use a shoehorn is to protect the backs.

As brutal as it is to say, people like that have forfeited any determination on their future once they commit such an antisocial act.
- Comment on Does anyone speak hairdresser? I need help communicating. 8 months ago:
The only barber that was ever able to cut my insane hair passed away after an unsuccessful liver transplant and it was at that point I purchased my own professional clippers.
Having bad haircuts my whole life until I found her is literally a point of trauma that I’ve not recovered from and I’m 49 years old now.

Why is everybody saying slay the spire pioneered the genre when it’s a clone of others?

The same way you fix a car, first you figure out what’s wrong, then you fix it.

I don’t even understand the question, really.

I think we’d be fucked, basically.
- Comment on What are your favorite Dreamcast games? 8 months ago:
I gave up on DoDonPachi. Same thing, 20 years of just grinding and sticking with it, even did the classic “final final true boss has one hit point and I choke” move.
Now I’m 49, my reactions will never be what they were when I was younger, the dream is over.
- Comment on Is the combined knowledge of humanity safer than it has ever been? 8 months ago:
I have a feeling it is all-but-guaranteed that most of the world’s digital knowledge will be erased overnight during the next event such as this one…
Check out the Carrington Event of 1859.

It’s like you didn’t read the article, and are specifically focusing on a one-dimensional argument while you can conveniently ignore the greater issues at play.
Go and read your own comments, in fact go read the article, and please try to come back with some meaningful thoughts.

Okay so NASA lost a $327 million Mars probe because said was transmitting trajectory corrections in the SI Units of Newton-Seconds, but the home base software was interpreting and calculating it as Pound Seconds.
Remembering that there was endless amounts of scientific equipment aboard that took years to make, and the whole enchilada took 10 months traveling through space before it could even crash.
- Comment on Judge rules YouTube, Facebook and Reddit must face lawsuits claiming they helped radicalize a mass shooter | CNN Business 9 months ago:
I just would like to show something about Reddit. Below is a post I made about how Reddit was literally harassing and specifically targeting me, after I let slip in a comment one day that I was sober - I had previously never made such a comment because my sobriety journey was personal, and I never wanted to define myself or pigeonhole myself as a “recovering person”.
I reported the recommended subs and ads to Reddit Admins multiple times and was told there was nothing they could do about it.
I posted a screenshot to DangerousDesign and it flew up to like 5K+ votes in like 30 minutes before admins removed it. I later reposted it to AssholeDesign where it nestled into 2K+ votes before shadow-vanishing.
Yes, Reddit and similar are definitely responsible for a lot of suffering and pain at the expense of humans in the pursuit of profit. After it blew up and front-paged, “magically” my home page didn’t have booze related ads/subs/recs any more! What a totally mystery how that happened /s
The post in question, and a perfect “outing” of how Reddit continually tracks and tailors the User Experience specifically to exploit human frailty for their own gains.

I quit drinking years ago and I reported every ad explaining that I am no longer their target market and the ads are literally dangerous to me. They were gone within a few weeks - haven’t seen a booze ad in 5+ years.

AI told me 76C/170F is ideal for hot tub water temperature.
Sure no problem. Once I get used to that I’ll work my way up to boiling peanut oil.

You’re talking to somebody that studies particle physics okay.
- Comment on Do straight lines and flat planes exist in nature? 9 months ago:
Simple answer: no
- Comment on Do straight lines and flat planes exist in nature? 9 months ago:
They don’t, although they do not interact with other particles, they obey move as waves, like all other energy in the universe.
- Comment on Why don't we hear more about the 2017 Las Vegas shooting? It was the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, we never found a motive, and it seems no one ever mentions it. 9 months ago:
I feel like most horror movies are preying on deep psychological fears of things that don’t or won’t happen, or happen only in the deepest fears of the psyche.
The concept of just leaving your house to get some turnips and getting shot in the face is like a daily thing for every American, so I’m not sure that makes for good psychological horror.
- Comment on Physical or Digital? 9 months ago:
I can log on to anybody’s computer in the world, install Steam, and have full access to my entire game library.
I can make almost anybody I know (with limits) a “family member” and share my library.
I can stream my games from my computer to my phone.
My steam deck lets me play my entire library anywhere.
I see no personal benefit to using physical media anymore.
