In reality I would do what most people would and just keep to myself…
Just thought I would add some comedy to the thread 😎

“Im sorry, but you are fucking stunning… if I told you you had an amazing body, would you hold it against me? cue cheesy smile”
It’s probably not going to get me anywhere but it might make her laugh, or at least not file sexual harassment charges for speaking to her… lol
- Comment on Gen Z job seekers should be willing to work for free, long hours, ‘willing to do anything,’ says Squarespace CMO 3 months ago:
What time period did you work for free while also working shitty jobs for rent?
Lots of people are working two full time jobs to barely survive…
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but you have to look around and understand that a 1 bedroom apartment can easily be one full time jobs worth of salary to rent if you’re a GenZ, then your second full time job is utilies and food… And depending on where they live, that’s WITH a roommate.
Once you’ve worked 16 hours a day, plus commute time, unpaid lunches…you basically only have time to sleep.
Where in that schedule do you propose someone donate their time working for free?
- Comment on SteamOS 3.5.18 Preview released for Steam Deck 6 months ago:
As long as you aren’t expecting it to run games like it has a RTX4090 in it, and are fine with the limitations of both the battery life away from a charger and the fact that some games might have issues related to the fact that the SteamDeck runs Linux, you will probably not regret your purchase.
The new OLED version is slightly updated for better thermals, and from what I’ve read is slightly more capable than the OG Deck.
I have had an OG deck since I got the chance to purchase after putting $5 down to pre order (I want to say a little over 2 years?) and the most demanding game I’ve played on it was Baulders Gate 3, and I had no issues with performance, and the small screen at 1280x800 resolution looks good on the OG but I’ve heard the OLED is even better.
I just bought my sister in law a Refurbished 512 OG Deck for $379 after tax/shipping, which about half what I paid for mine as an early adopter. You might see if you can pick up a refurbished one or get the OLED with a smaller SSD and upgrade it yourself.
- Comment on Evidence that we have been living in an increasingly risk-averse culture 10 months ago:
“over the past 60 years the West has begun to shift away from the culture of progress, and towards one of caution, worry and risk-aversion, with economic growth slowing over the same period. The frequency of terms related to progress, improvement and the future has dropped by about 25 per cent since the 1960s, while those related to threats, risks and worries have become several times more common.”
I mean, when people are struggling to survive it’s hard to let yourself get excited about technology that will likely only benefit the most wealthy. All of the “easy” discoveries have been made. Anything else getting research funding is to further capitalism.
