- Comment on We are the wading dead! 1 day ago:Why down-doot? CORAL?!!?! 
- Comment on If you don't understand it instantly you will never get it 1 day ago:Nah bro, you definitely whipped this up in Photoshop /s fair enough. 
- Comment on If you don't understand it instantly you will never get it 1 day ago:This what doomscrolling does to a mf 
- Comment on Sometimes I feel nothing will change for the better and I feel frustrated about it. 1 day ago:That’s because soft times build hard men, but hard men times will soft build hard time soft men. We just need to stay strong ✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽 
- Comment on PC Master Race 1 day ago:My roommate mentioned there was a price increase recently. It is pretty pricey. 
- Comment on PC Master Race 2 days ago:I’m still a PC player through and through, but I will say that the game subscriptions that give you access to AAA games (albeit sometimes a bit after launch) is pretty enticing. Obviously you get better sales and whatnot through Steam, but not having to shell out 50-70 dollars for a new game is pretty cool. 
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 2 days ago:It is from the brand Elegoo. The printer is pretty dated at this point, so it’s not the one I’d recommend. There’s probably more robust systems out there. 
- Comment on Guide recommendation for absolute newbies? 3 days ago:I’ll offer a counterpoint. If this is your first printer, don’t build it from a kit. Most printers will require some assembly, and that’s totally fine, but if you have no experience with 3d printers (and likely anything similar in size or technical requirements), it’s going to be way too easy to make some small mistake that results in days of diagnosing where you went wrong. My advice would be to find a decent mid-range printer, and if you really wanna dive deep in to the hobby, build or buy a big fancy second one later. I’m still rocking my $150 Neptune 3 from like 3 years ago, I’ve thought about upgrading but haven’t really needed to. 
- Comment on I have been staring at this marquee and cannot figure out what "two dance special means" 3 days ago:Are those cars inside the building? I thought it was a reflection but I don’t see any cars outside where they’d cause that reflection.

- Comment on Albania what are you doing? I thought you just made peace with Aberbaijan???  5 days ago:Yeah, this one appears to be legit. Wonderful. 
- Comment on iCarly was a streamer before streaming was even really a thing. 6 days ago:There’s a YouTuber named Aggressively Average who does dives on 2000s kids shows, and he brings this up 
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 6 days ago:which I can tell simply by looking outside In a snow storm? 
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 6 days ago:Yikes. Also, since you ran out of arguments and started correcting people’s spelling, *then. 
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 6 days ago:I’m also horseless, but their analog clock is a wind-up, no batteries required. So if you’re snowed in and can’t get to the store, it’s one less thing that will take up batteries. 
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 6 days ago:Honestly if you can’t calculate things on an abacus you shouldn’t be in the exam room tbh. Sure, calculators have been invented and have ultimately replaced the abacus in nearly every facet of day to day life, but surely you know how to add beads together? We’re letting kids use GPS to get to school now? What the street signs and constellations aren’t good enough for you? 
- Comment on How gamers were nickel and dimed in 80s and 90s (besides arcades) 1 week ago:After this, we got the cheat code books. 
- Comment on Carrot 1 week ago:Well yeah, they’re made to order. Probably forgot to enter a value in the quantity field and the system just defaulted to one, so instead of “2.5lbs, 10 carrots” ya got “2.5lbs, 1 carrot”. You know how much resources if takes to grow a 2.5lb carrot? It’s not a small amount. Wasteful, this is. 
- Comment on If you eat free range eggs, you're probably ingesting trace amounts of rooster cum 1 week ago:Pretty sure that’s not true. But I’m not an egg-spert. 
- Comment on If you eat free range eggs, you're probably ingesting trace amounts of rooster cum 1 week ago:Or post-pubescent men, we’ve got it, too. 
- Comment on It's only a matter of time until Ozempic buys the naming rights to the Olympics. 1 week ago:Yeah, kinda lost here. 
- Comment on Buying a best-of-album is like giving the artist/label money for a playlist of their songs they created 1 week ago:Re-read my comment. I did not say that’s what that meant. I said that if a “hit” means it’s a popular song, a “great hit” would mean a very popular song, and the “greatest hits” would be the most popular. The band is not saying, “these are our best songs that you have to like more than all the other ones.” They’re saying, “these are the songs the most people have liked from us in a collection.” Random example, look at “Welcome to the Black Parade” by My Chemical Romance, it’s by far and large their most popular and well-known song, it’ll of course be on any “greatest hits” album from that band, genre, or time period, but I don’t know a single MCR fan who would say it’s their favorite song. 
- Comment on Buying a best-of-album is like giving the artist/label money for a playlist of their songs they created 1 week ago:A “hit” is a popular song. A band’s greatest hits are their most popular songs. Not sure how you’ve managed to take this personally. 
- Comment on There is a key difference between walkable and car dependent living: 2 weeks ago:I see. Here, I walk 5 minutes to get the mail, and pass by ~12 houses, half of which have a Ring doorbell that yells, “HI! You are currently being recorded.” 
- Comment on So, did a new printer drop? LOL 2 weeks ago:I misinterpreted your original comment saying that YouTube wouldn’t lead you directly to them to mean that it would stear you away from them (which would of course require them to do the sorting you’re talking about). Yeah they don’t really give a shit, just shovel whatever they think will get you to engage. 
- Comment on So, did a new printer drop? LOL 2 weeks ago:Why isn’t it in YouTube’s best interest? They don’t care if the product gets praised or trashed, they aren’t selling it, you watch the video/ ads and they’re happy 
- Comment on There is a key difference between walkable and car dependent living: 2 weeks ago:and now I live so far away that I don’t even bother locking my front door Can you explain what you mean by this to someone who’s lived in asphalt his entire life? Is your home so far from others that the likelihood of a break-in is negligible, or is there a different meaning I’m missing? 
- Comment on Lasagnaius 2 weeks ago:Yogurtius. “Yo, Gurtius!” 
- Comment on It's interesting that we have multiple appliances in the kitchen who's sole job is to turn electricity into heat. 3 weeks ago:I understand that, and called it out in my comment. Heat being a byproduct of movement does not mean that a device that creates movement “only” creates heat. That’s like saying all drink dispensers only dispense piss, because what does it eventually turn in to? 
- Comment on It's interesting that we have multiple appliances in the kitchen who's sole job is to turn electricity into heat. 3 weeks ago:Saying that all appliances turn energy to heat is true, but saying that all appliances do is turn energy in to heat is not. While heat is still a byproduct, lots of appliances make things move as well.
