  I think the big difference is the older generation of gaming didn’t have to compete with every kid having a tablet they could just play games on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You ban aid groups and press when you want no witnesses to your atrocities.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They’re more worried about covering up their troops accidentally murdering war correspondents because it’s hard to blame it on “crossfire” when there’s only one side actively murdering people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Study: Conservative Viewpoints Linked to Lower Cognitive Abilities⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder if this has anything to do with why they’re cutting education programs from their budgets left and right… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are a guy living with a woman you know THIS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Alternatively, make both genders put the lid down. That way everyone has to do the same work to pee.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Neither do I, Mr. Raccoon⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I knew a guy that was tortured to death in prison by medical staff for having stomach cancer and bothering the nurses too much about it.

  At first, before diagnosis, he couldn’t keep food down. He asked for a medical exam and they scheduled one like a week out, but canceled it because his blood pressure was too high. The next one was cancelled as was the one after that. By the time they actually looked at him, the cancer had spread and gone terminal. He was going to die by medical neglect.

  Some time later, his esophagus ruptured in the night, and the nurse they called at home to check on him said he was faking over the phone, so they locked him in a TV room through the night because he wouldn’t stop screaming in pain. Around 9am they got him to a hospital but the damage had already gone septic and he died.

  On paper, prisoners might have better “healthcare” but I will never forget the horror stories of people who have actually had to deal with the system. The medical people in prisons will not give a single shit about these people’s lives and will actively work against them for being minority inconvenienced.

  This is exactly the point I’m making. Once a few companies effectively own the market, what’s stopping them from programming their devices to communicate with each other without user knowledge? I remember seeing some post about a reddit guy asking why his Samsung (or other smart brand) dishwasher was using several GB of bandwidth daily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨know your worth⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sumo guys are surprisingly flexible. It’s part of their training or something idk.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You’ll have to rip the networking chip out pretty soon to stop them from sniffing out and connecting to WiFi or other devices connected to the internet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The new problem is AI running on the TV taking the images sent to it and processing those separately from everything else, and using that to see what you’re doing and watching.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's nothing⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Wow that’s kind of scary how little we may notice something so dangerous.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Crucial is shutting down — because Micron wants to sell its RAM and SSDs to AI companies instead⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I had to look it up. The RAM I bought 12 months ago for $99 is now $350. This is insane.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are love potions always romantic in nature? Why hasn't anyone made a non-romantic variant?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Like a potion that just charms someone without making them fall in love? I’m pretty sure D&D has a spell that does exactly that, and just about any spell can be made into a potion IIRC.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The ancient Greeks or Chinese should have already had words for this.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m basically the opposite. I can remember peoples faces very well but have a hell of a hard time trying to remember their names. I’d say I’m a 1 or 2 on this scale, depending imon if I’m fully engaged with the content (like reading a book).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨FOX BREAKING NEWS ALERT!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And their source is a “Verified Taco Bell employee” on Reddit??

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YSK How to cook a perfect (hard) boiled egg⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Question for step 3: is that 8:30-9:00 AM or PM?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have a collection of 8 Nintendo Game and Watches from my childhood. What’s the best way to sell them?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  is pretty good for this, just be sure to look at outliers in the sold results to see why they were so much more or less expensive than others.

  Wow I remember playing the original mod back in the day, when Source Mods had a player base. Good times.

  I see we are using the American system of measurements here.

  Must be a skill issue

  Now you’re getting it!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is the cure to male loneliness shitposting?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Niche community? More like argue with tens of people online. 😆

  I’d rather leave a piss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo refuses to repair water damaged Switch 2 console⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, it’s water damage

  • Nintendo, when you ask for a warranty repair that definitely isn’t water damage.

  “Day of rest” my ass, that sounds like a lot of work!

  Millennial (maybe Gen X too?) funeral in a nutshell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Israeli attack on Iranian prison killed 71 people: Spokesman⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, why attack a prison of all places? Maybe one of their own was in there that they wanted silenced before leaking secrets?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would Frieren kill Nezuko? [Discuss]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  In Frieren’s world, Demons only appear and act human as a survival trait (from what I’ve seen so far). In Demon Slayer, Nezuko is turned into a demon, not born one, and retains much of her humanity in staying with her brother and helping him fight other demons. I think if Frieren were to see that she was turned and not born a demon, they could come to an understanding. Frieren may even make the effort to find a way to revert Nezuko back to being a human.

  For context, I’ve only watched the Frieren anime (not started the Manga) and only watched & read Demon Slayer through the Demon Train arc (I got burnt out and haven’t picked it back up yet).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Monster Hunter Wilds game reviews hit "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam — can Capcom turn it around?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  TLDR: People are review bombing the game for poor performance and lack of endgame content. You can go look at the recent Steam reviews to see this.

  Something tells me that won’t stop someone from getting in trouble for misusing his name. Straight to deportation with you!

  Oh, Last Exile is one of my favorites too!
