Lol hey you’re right!

Cannabis.
It’s basically mental health disorders in herbal form.
Public opinion is finally starting to shift from its a panacea to it’s a drug, in the face of decriminalization throughout areas of North America.
I smoke weed so don’t start the bullshit with me.

Yes, you have to imagine you are looking into a mirror at yourself and focus your eyes on that place; look past the image.

It’s true. We owe a lot of food standards to companies like Heinz, that would put rotten tomatoes (those not even fit for animal consumption) in their ketchup.

Tired AF of these non YSK posts.
Nobody needs to know this. Nobody.
Especially when it’s an unrealized technology that has been “calculated” to be possible.

Even if you justification added up, you could just go get barrels of water, you don’t need to get individual bottles.
You people actually make me sick with your BS

Yeah well only a shit cook would think that oil coming off means bad meat.
I know that people don’t know fuck all about cooking, yourself included.
- Comment on The Steam controller was ahead of its time 6 days ago:
It failed because it offered too much customization. Really.
Physical construction was shit tier. I should know, I early adopted November 2015 and in total I went through 17 not counting the 3 DOA. My ear actually became attuned to the specific mini-crunch that signaled the impending demise of a shoulder button.
It also had undeniable layout and design issues. The D-Pad they implemented was a joke. Fanboys wouldn’t shut up about it but truth is, it was completely unacceptable to put a track pad in it’s place and it was more or less unusable. Other buttons and inputs were juuuuust a little cramped or off-kilter and it was common to input mash accidentally.
The configuration software was also a nightmare. Ever try setting up a Mouse Region for a twin stick game? Sweet jeebus. They tripled the efficiency of the configuration screens in recent updates and it’s still a nightmare. It’s 30 inputs just to tweak something like a deadzone, then you have to menu out… then test in game… then drill allllll the way back down to tweak a little more.
But back to my assertion at the top. It made SC gamers literally unfairly better. Gryo aiming, effectively programmable macros, mode shifts, radial wheels, action layers, targeted mouse clicks, button toggles, sliders, regions, I can’t even remember it all from back before it got heavily neutered. It got out of control to the point where you could bypass “cheating” standards and macros in big online games, etc. You could simulate inputs.
Design iterations would have fixed the other issues, but it became a deadly-unfair device for competitive gaming and a lot of companies hated how the Steam Controller hardware and software customization… basically allowed people to “cheat” their systems in a sense. It opened a huge fucking can of worms. Something like it will probably never be seen again for these reasons.

Throwing away animal fat and oil is failing at cooking

Let me tell you something, the consumer is to blame.
Nobody needs to orient their life around anything that they don’t choose. For example I willingly gave up my car and picked a job near me so I didn’t have to drive.
There wouldn’t be a market for bottled water if people wouldn’t drink the fucking shit.
This whole cognitive dissonance crap where you get to live a completely hedonistic trash-filled lifestyle, while justifying that you have the right because you’re sad about your earning… I am sick to death of this attitude in people.

- Comment on If you have cut off mainstream music streaming, how do you discover new music or artists and songs like what you're listening frequently? 2 weeks ago:
The way I have done it for the last several years and it has brought me amazing new dimensions of sound experience…
Find an artist that you like, look them up and find out who produced the album and other group members.
Then do a little Wiki research into the discography and solo work of each of those performers or producers.
Follow up on interesting threads, and you’ll be exposed to all kinds of amazing new stuff.
Although I’m definitely out of this listening phase now, an example that worked for me was I got very obsessed with Talking Heads band. Looked them up and found out that Brian Eno produced them.
Started to notice from other bands I looked up that Brian Eno was mysteriously involved in so many of them.
Started to look into all the bands that Brian Eno produced and worked with over the years, and then started to look into the music of Brian Eno.
Starts to give you a realization that the true talent in a band is generally not the performers, but rather the veterans with decades of experienced who guide them.
Another example is Buckethead, started to see this dude buckethead appearing on literally hundreds of different album credits! Did a lot of research into the guy and the various bands he’s worked with, and that opened hundreds of new experiences to me.
This comment is getting a little outside of my original point, which is to actually do some research on your own, go out and find the lesser-known works of artists you love.
Basically just follow different Wikipedia links, and then when you find an album in a discography that you think might be interesting, look it up.

Good Lord! Thank you for the warning! On lowest audible phone volume it blew me away lol
What is that and why does it exist??
- Comment on Sealioning - a community for posting examples of sealioning and other forms of trolling on social networks 2 weeks ago:
The best defense against sealioning is to give people more credit than they want and to believe they are smarter than they let on. “Nobody could be this dumb and if they are, it’s fruitless to attempt dialogue” should always be on ones mind.

I’m just leaving this whole platform.
It’s nothing special. Every fucking idiot you’ve ever met in your life on Reddit is coalescing here.
Have you had a meaningful conversation here? An informative one? I’ve been here 2+ years and I can honestly say no.
Have you seen a link that isn’t effectively a complete recycling of what you already know to be true?
It’s the same recycled bullshit you have seen for the last 20 years.
The whole format of a “democratic” link dump site is fundamentally broken. I see that now.
- Comment on One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons 3 weeks ago:
Prone?
Hell, they are almost designed to break. They are utterly shabby in terms of build quality.
I was one of the early adopters going back to November 2015
I am not lying when I tell you I have been through 17 of these controllers. It’s the right bumper almost every time.
I have a giant handful of the dongles. I was saving them thinking they would go up in value but now like $2 knockoffs are available LOL

- Comment on YouTube’s new anti-adblock measures 3 weeks ago:
100%
People love to discuss these fantasy realms where ad-free decentralized content forms some kind of Utopia that we all enjoy.
I’m a former content creator with millions and millions of hours of video. I have answered hundreds of comments from people who would like to suggest that my mic is better, or I use a better video camera, better lighting…
When I say hey I’d love to, can you donate a dollar so I can buy them… Crickets.
I can honestly say I never made a fucking sent on YouTube and it’s the users that are to blame. They view it as this free thing that they should be entitled. Contribute nothing willingly.
There is a huge difference between the ethical stance people portray in their online comments, and people’s in real life behavior.

Recently I discovered I could use a hair dryer from the thrift store that has a diffuser. I have been gently softening the adhesive and peeling them off, and I have been finding that in most cases, it no longer leaves any adhesive behind!

- Comment on PeerTube just reached its final goal for the mobile app fundraiser - 75k € - with a few hours to spare! 3 weeks ago:
I was a streamer for an incredibly popular game, I had millions of hours of watch time.
The total amount I made for the thousands of hours I invested is $0.00
My costs were in the thousands, when I consider the extra I paid for high-speed internet, computer upgrades, microphones, blah blah blah
People are a bunch of whining little leeching bitches.
Everyone can shut the fuck up because nobody will support a creator.
- Comment on I Convinced HP's Board to Buy Palm for $1.2B. Then I Watched Them Kill It in 49 Days 4 weeks ago:
I love hearing these kinds of retellings from industry insiders, I was deep in Tech and high up in the games industry, and I know the kinds of shenanigans that happen at the CEO and board level!
But in my view the mobile game was over already in 2003. That’s when Microsoft had everything wrapped up in their hot little hands, but decided that mobile computing was not the future, and that embedded Windows CE on every device is the way to go.
Everything that happened after 2003 to 2005 basically sealed everything in stone. I think he’s vastly over playing whatever revolution was in his mind.
