Fun fact: Many cities purposely plant male trees because they do not want to deal with the stuff the females make, and thus, it triggers allergies even harder. So many males are unloading in competition that we are being covered in their gametes.

Shadowgate 64 doesn’t hold your hand, but I can recommend it.

I played the N64 version. Some of those games were tough before web browsing was a thing.

- Comment on Pirate Streaming Giants Fboxz, AniWave, Zoroxtv & Others Dead in Major Collapse 2 months ago:
They nuked the comments at crunchy. Sometimes you need the information in the comments. Sometimes you need that information on every episode of an anime series because of some failure or lack of feature.

JUSTIN BAILEY for the win.

Have you hugged your gay furry today?

It would be considered illegal where I live to interact with that popup while driving.
- Comment on Shower thoughts are just thoughts but in a shower 4 months ago:
The shower is a pocket dimension. Dreams can spontaneously form in the steamy aether.
- Comment on What is Windows 11 'AI Explorer'? Everything you need to know about Microsoft's upcoming defining AI PC feature (including it always watching you) 6 months ago:
So, how will this work and comply with laws regarding its use in a medical institution?
What about its use in a company that has extremely valuable trade secrets that need to be kept that way?
What about the military?
Wouldn’t this make for an excellent target to harvest data for hackers?
I wonder if Win 11 LTSC will leave it out.

- Comment on Is it true that addicts never stop being addicts, they just replace their addiction? 7 months ago:
The concept of addiction as a brain disease has been challenged in recent times. Its better to think of it as a learning disorder that can be corrected over time. AA and NA have also shaped public opinion on alcoholics and addicts with ideas that are not based on science.

We will find a way. Never give up or give in. Screw your shareholders!
- Comment on Microsoft won't update your Windows 11 PC if it has these apps 7 months ago:
There were so many times that updating Win7 was a nightmare. I used to do plenty of fresh installs on various PCs and I would have to wait a day or sometimes more to get the OS up to date. I would have thought we moved past this by now.

Imagine me paying to give my data to feed their info beast. No thanks. I can run my own AI tools.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 7 months ago:
Its certainly similar in that CSI played a role in forming unrealistic expectations in student’s minds. But. Rather than expecting more physical evidence in order to make a prosecution, the students expected magic to happen on computers and lab work (often faster than physically possible).
AI enhancement is not uncovering hidden visual data, but rather it generates that information based on previously existing training data and shoe horns that in. It certainly could be useful, but it is not real evidence.
- Comment on Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works 7 months ago:
Unfortunately it does need pointing out. Back when I was in college, professors would need to repeatedly tell their students that the real world forensics don’t work like they do on NCIS. I’m not sure as to how much thing may or may not have changed since then, but based on American literacy levels beings as they are, I do not suppose things have changed that much.
- Comment on 10 years ago, a person would be insulted for filming a video in portrait instead of landscape. Now, old landscape videos are being cropped and resized to fit in a portrait player. 8 months ago:
Their children’s eyes will grow closer and closer together from one generation to another until no one has depth perception past the front of their face. /s

- Comment on Bangladesh teacher suspended after allegedly shooting student in exam 8 months ago:
Police said they seized his gun as well as a second pistol, 81 rounds of bullets, four magazines, two knives, and 10 daggers which they reportedly found in his bag.

- Comment on Midjourney might ban Biden and Trump images this election season 9 months ago:
