  The point they’re making is that what you’re looking at in the picture isn’t NSFW. The title is deliberately misrepresenting an advert to make it seem NSFW, a classic shitposting tradition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bumble⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  As a guy who used to be on bumble (met my partner there) I will say that any conversation that started with ‘hey how’s it going’ just went nowhere 100% of the time. It’s so easy to ask literally anything else. We don’t know each other, what’s the point in asking how it’s going if all you’ll ever get as a reply is either “good, and you?” which doesn’t break any ice and introduces a lull on the conversation 4 messages into the chat or if it’s an honest “pretty shit, actually” the tone of the conversation becomes immediately weird because you don’t know each other enough to pry into that.

  Things you could ask:

  • cuddled any cats lately?
  • what made you smile today/this week?
  • what song have you played on repeat lately?
  • play any games lately? (depending on if they list games as their interest, most matches I got listed board games)

  This way you’ll immediately either find common ground or find differences between your everyday experiences that you can talk about.

  So, nobody got paid to make that.

  I don’t think they’re necessarily saying their housemate is wrong. I took it as them just pointing out how it gets old fast.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Flying type i guess⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A brick is more aerodynamic than a Wrangler. Fun fact about bricks: they’re rock types but some dedicated trainers have been known to make their bricks use the Fly move without ever using the HM.

  Easy on the language there, Moss.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine everything humans could accomplish if we were not a commerce based civilization.⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you’re conflating commerce with capitalism. I don’t think you could have communism without commerce. Even if you did away with currency and the rubber farmer is paid with grain and other foodstuffs that would still be commerce.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison Architect 2 - Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I checked out one proud bavarian and some beginner’s guide videos to see what the gameplay is actually about and ended up buying it. Thanks for taking the time to respond, I might’ve slept on this title otherwise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison Architect 2 - Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that’s good to hear! I myself haven’t played Victoria 2, I’ve played EU4, CK2 and CK3 a lot and was really excited about focusing on economy and population rather than map painting in Vic3. I saw the lackluster reviews on release and beyond and assumed it just missed the mark like so many sequels do. I’ll check it out some more. Thanks for your input!

  a human can be mapped in minutes, if not seconds.

  Purely from a technical standpoint I’m wondering what you’re referring to here. Most of my work is DNA sequencing using different techniques and while we can do it blisteringly fast if necessary it still takes at minimum a few hours to isolate dna, prep the dna for sequencing and then running for 24 hours followed by data analysis. That’s for bacterial DNA, I don’t have experience with sequencing human genomes but I imagine it is more complicated than bacteria. But, I haven’t kept up with literature on this subject lately so now I’m wondering if I’ve missed some breakthrough technique that speeds up the process to minutes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prison Architect 2 - Official Announcement Trailer⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still haven’t bought that, and looks like I won’t be for a while at least, maybe never if it doesn’t pan out. I was so excited for Victoria 3 but reading the reviews they indicate that it’s also a shell of the former game. Waiting until the game is fully released before letting in any hype has served me well lately.

  I’ve never understood this picture. Is the joke that there is no optical illusion? I have never seen anything else than all of the plates being right side up.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨They're all dead now, I wonder who got the last laugh?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Also the bacterial genus known as listeria.
