- Comment on Could you be relatively healthy if you replaced traditional carb sources with skittles and multivitamins? 2 days ago:
Over the long term, I suspect the sugar spikes and crashes would cause you to eat a lot more calories/sugar than a normal diet, and likely lead to diabetes.
Multivitamins are useful some a small handful of nutritional deficiencies but wouldn’t come close to rescuing this diet.

Article says 14% of playtime was spent in games from 2025 (down 1% from last year) so not quite as dramatic as the title states
- Comment on U.S. consumers are so fucked up, that they put more than $1 billion on buy-now, pay later services during Cyber Monday 4 weeks ago:
I’m not a BNPL user, but my understanding is that most are interest free (to attract more users) unless a borrower is late/misses a payment.
- Comment on How long after starting Vitamin D supplements should you notice results? 5 weeks ago:
My doctor told me to take vitamin D supplements without even bothering to test if I was deficient. 1000 IU in the summer, 4000 IU in the winter. IIRC, it varies based on your location, time spent outdoors, diet, etc. But it is generally safe to take vitamin D supplements.

- Comment on Transgender, nonbinary and disabled people more likely to view AI negatively, study shows 4 months ago:
Only corporate executives benefit from AI.
Everyone else is harmed, both directly and indirectly, and it makes the customer experience far worse because workers are replaced by chatbots that are incapable of understanding.
From what I’ve seen, the only people that have a positive view of AI are those who see themselves as the master of others. The trans, nonbinary, & disabled people in this study are very unlikely to fit that mold.

They don’t want to contribute to society, even at a lower rate than wagies.

Am I understanding correctly that the most expensive “premium plus” plan still has advertisements?

- Comment on Pro-AI Subreddit Bans 'Uptick' of Users Who Suffer from AI Delusions 6 months ago:
I directly work with one of these people - they admit to spending all of their free time talking to the LLM chatbots.
On our work forums, I see it’s not uncommon at all. If it makes you feel any better, AI loving is highly correlated with people you shouldn’t ever listen to in the first place.

Oh no, we can’t make slop without stealing? The horror!
- Comment on Mom sues porn sites (Including Chaturbate, Jerkmate, Superporn and Hentaicity) for noncompliance with Kansas age assurance law; Teen can no longer enjoy life after mom caught him visiting Chaturbate 7 months ago:
“Q.R., using his mother’s old laptop, had unfettered access to the internet and began searching for hardcore pornography,” says the court. His mom claims this led to “pain, suffering, disability, disfigurement, and mental anguish; psychological injury; past and future love of enjoyment and pleasure of living.”
It’s not the internet making your son feel those things, it’s you.
- Comment on Dear Big Tech, Stop Shoving AI Into Operating Systems 8 months ago:
You have to change your steam settings to attempt to use proton. Once you do this, steam will allow the games to play. Practically everything will work once you do this.
- Comment on Basic networking/subnetting question. 8 months ago:
It’s been a long time since I actually used subnets, but IIRC you will need a physical interface for each network on the router regardless.
So let’s say you set up your /24 network into 2x /25’s, you will need an interface for the .0 network, and another for the .128 network
If you just have an interface for the switch, and another for the WAN connection, I don’t think subletting will work for what you’re trying to do
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 9 months ago:
I’ve bought Garmin devices explicitly because they didn’t do these things, and promised not to do these things. Since I know they’re not going to retract this decision, I am going to look into trying to get my purchases refunded.
- Comment on Garmin adds AI and a subscription tier to its app 9 months ago:
They’re AI so yes
- Comment on HP adds 15 minutes waiting time for telephone support calls 10 months ago:
Just another thing to remind family of when they inevitably ask why they shouldn’t just buy the cheapest printer/laptop/widget from HP.
“We are experiencing longer wait times” Yeah, because you intentionally made it that way to game your internal metrics.
I can’t wait for them to finally burn enough users that they finally get a clue and stop buying HP garbage, and the company can finally die from its decisions.

Constant CEO turnover? Bringing in a AWS/Oracle Executive? RIP Docker.
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
Americans aren’t actually that litigious. This perception was created as part of a public misinformation campaign by McDonalds to try to win sympathy when they made their coffee way hotter than it should have ever been, and were sued when a customer had their labia fused together when the coffee spilled in their lap.

- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 10 months ago:
Jeep is a Stellantis product. Literally the worst quality auto manufacturer in North America. They are circling the drain and jacking up the prices on their vehicles and making Pikachu faces when they don’t sell. Their only customers are people who don’t know how to research their purchases, and putting advertisement hell into their cars is another example of that. I suspect they will not be in business a decade from now.

- Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile? 11 months ago:
This was posted 4 times, you may want to remove the duplicates.
I would agree that people look better when they smile, but I think that it is considered sexist because women are asked to smile where men are not, in similar situations. I believe that women feel it is controlling, and since it’s requested/required of women more often then men, their perspective is that it is sexist.
Would you feel okay with a woman asking you to flex? I would, but if it became something that happened on a regular basis, I think it would quickly become annoying to me.
- Comment on McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years 1 year ago:
If you skimp on ingredients while raising prices, and then try to lock any sort of reasonable deal behind a creepy data collection app, customers are likely to notice and choose a better option. Sucks to suck.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 1 year ago:
Sure, everyone that has a job that can be done from home should be permitted to do it from home if they want to.
What the best performers rhetoric is about is that these companies are harming their long term prospects by doing things like this, since the personnel that make the most money for the company are generally the ones that can easily leave for another company that will not treat them like a child that needs to be directly monitored.
- Comment on Dell Sales team told to return to office 5 days a week 1 year ago:
So Dell wants to do a layoff of sales staff, and is going to lose their best performers first.
