You’d have to ask a physicist. I would be surprised if you couldn’t make other liquids “wet”. The solid analogy helps with conceptualising an interface, one material on another. I suppose you could make water wet, by freezing a block and then splashing said block with water but that doesn’t equate to it being wet, if that makes sense.
- Comment on gotdamn 2 days ago:
It threw me at first too. Helps to think of it as wetness being an interaction between a liquid and solid. Water makes things wet, it’s isn’t itself wet.

OBS offers practically the same experience with its replay buffer and only uses single digit percent overhead for CPU. Shadow play is maybe slightly more convenient that’s all I can really say about it as it’s been a while.
- Comment on ANU asks pro-Palestinian encampments to disband as students claim ‘witch-hunt’ taking place 1 month ago:
Yes, that was clearly my issue, that your ad hominem insult weren’t prompt enough. I expect further insults to be real time.
As opposed to your “no”, clearly you entered this discussion in all good faith and very much interested why I have the view that I do.
University of Queensland will involve police and take disciplinary action against pro-Palestine student protesters after their conduct on campus allegedly resulted in assault and property damage.
Peaceful except when they aren’t (which let’s be honest isn’t too frequently in the country fortunately). I don’t need to be yelled at by idiots who I already largely agree with. If they were pro Israel protesters or conservative activist camping out on grounds my opinions would be far worse.
- Comment on ANU asks pro-Palestinian encampments to disband as students claim ‘witch-hunt’ taking place 1 month ago:
Why even bother replying after 24 hours if it’s just going to be another childish attempt to insult/bait an emotional reaction? Your behaviour and the behaviour of “activist” defacing property is entirely reminiscent of why I have this view.
Spare me. No amount of insults will stop me supporting the ideals of the protest or resulting me flipping out in a racial/political tirade. Which I have to assume you’re hoping for to justify your snark since you can’t seem to devise any form of coherent discourse otherwise.

Well the universities seem to agree so too bad.

Clever but as in “I don’t pay several thousand per unit and hundred in fees to have random people take over parts of the campus”. Have an area on campus and whatever but clear out over night.

All for protests but people camping out on uni grounds? Hard pass.

All good, I get how the internet can be sometimes. Appreciate that, your shout out made me glad I did and glad I ignored my instinct to be snarky. Ahhh ok that makes sense, must have been the wording that threw me. Thanks for taking the time to humour me.
- Comment on Fans Express Shock As TVTropes Bans Gushing Over Magical Girls 1 month ago:
Ok, so your problem is with people likening ANY anime with children to pedos specifically as opposed to anime with actually sexually suggestive content involving children? I ask primarily because you haven’t really elaborated, at all. If the quoted remark made your position clear to me I wouldn’t really need to ask for clarity.
- Comment on Fans Express Shock As TVTropes Bans Gushing Over Magical Girls 1 month ago:
Hot take: people who get upset over young characters in anime and compare it to pedophilia are actually the fucking worst. They don’t actually care about real children or real victims of real sexual abuse
I’m having a real hard time giving you and everyone else in this thread the benefit of the doubt but maybe I’m misunderstanding. Are you and the other commenters upset because this site banned an anime depicting sexual behaviour between children?
Do you support Loli? It’s odd to me you seeming to think people get upset over “young people in anime” (which should honestly read, anime depicting minors in a sexual or lewd manner) is because of some sort of superiority complex rather than, you know, people objecting sexually suggestive content involving children. Am I missing something or is this situation how it appears at face value.

Yup, I know that particular scent of shitpost anywhere.
- Comment on Academic Rizzlers 1 month ago:
I think I largely agree with your broader point. The analogy I go to music. The difference is between drawing your largest possible audience within a niche versus trying to reach the largest possible audience with whatever has worked before. Very few people are actually creating or using them creatively. Most are just recreating or sharing what appeals to them.
Just because they want to be the first one to say it
Or rather because they want to be the first one to take part in the comedy ritual this time.
Not a fan of memes or jokes in titles/general for semi serious publications. Not entirely because srsbusinessonly but more clarity in communication. Leave the excessive meme usage for the science communicators in order draw the groans that sustain their life essence.
- Comment on Dating app Bumble will no longer require women to make the first move | CNN Business 1 month ago:
I mean on bumble, they did. It’s why I prefer it when I was single. Felt a bit better to allow the women to make the first move as tinder it felt like if you weren’t peacocking in some fashion, you were doing it wrong. Felt better for either gender. Bummer to hear they’re turning into tinder+.

Is it too early for embracer to dissolve and fuck right off out of the industry entirely? Asking for a mate.
- Comment on Star Wars: Battlefront Classic Collection used modder's work without credit 3 months ago:
That isn’t what a DMCA is for. Someone being compensated for the work they’ve done is unrelated to suing a company for using your art/code/work without permission or reference. Weirdly aggressive to modders though.
- Comment on Docker - what use is it? 3 months ago:
Docker is great because you can install something and all the shit it needs is installed and runs in that container. It’s good for a multitude of reasons mine are:
- No more installing a dependency, tool or library alongside a program that fucks up something else. No more shit breaking because you installed the latest python but some other program breaks if you move beyond 3.10 (and you forgot to use venv I guess).
- Somewhat a follow on from 1 but this makes for great functionality with self hosting. I can run a couple docker compose/build command and build/rebuild the containers anywhere I need them. I can test a container on a windows computer to see if it does what I want and works as intended and then spin the some container up on my media server, even if it’s a different OS. I have a bunch of them on my home server and it and it’s great being able to just plug in the port number of the other containers they need to talk to, if any, and that’s all. One container breaking doesn’t break everything else.

Hopefully Elijah Wood being cast means it’ll be weird because otherwise I agree with the other comments, good luck.
- Comment on Love to do this 4 months ago:
I fucking hate these things. These “American” utes have invaded my country too. As I explained to someone else most of em you can tell are driven by cashed up fuckwits who don’t actually use utes for a job.
Know how you can tell? Snap ons/tool boxes. Rarely do any of these massively oversized public masturbation devices have tool/gear on them used by people that the owners of these vehicles pretend to be.
- Comment on 1 feet burger right up! 6 months ago:
Nah, since those are actually attached or relevant to sexual characteristics, which feet are not.
Foot fetishism may be caused by the feet and the genitals occupying adjacent areas of the somatosensory cortex, possibly entailing some neural crosstalk between the two.[16] Neuroscientist V. S. Ramachandran proposed that an accidental link between these regions could explain the prevalence of foot fetishism
- Comment on 1 feet burger right up! 6 months ago:
I could be wrong but aren’t their brains literally wired wrong and so they associate feet with something erotic?
- Comment on Court rules Gabe Newell must appear in person to testify in Steam anti-trust lawsuit 7 months ago:
Outdoors with proximity to 1-3 other people, where he can move at will and distance himself vs indoors, courtroom full of people and he’s sitting while people move around. Probably not the same. If the guy has risk factors for developing complications with COVID, which we can see he has one which is being overweight, I don’t think it’s reasonable for the court to force him to attend when he could attend remotely.
- Comment on [deleted] 8 months ago:
How do you get dates because it can be a big factor. My last several relationships have been with people I’ve met in my day to day despite using dating apps to meet people during that duration. Honestly beyond hookups I’d almost suggest staying clear of them. Especially since people are particularly picky on these dating apps and a lot of it is quantity over quality. Meeting people who share similar hobbies/interests to you is the ideal way imo.
