- Comment on Waffle House: Pull up then. 😐 1 week ago:
I always assumed Waffle House was never really a destination, but somewhere you end up hungover from your actual destination?
Are there crazy people who actually go there just to go!?

Y’all still had 300?
- Comment on How does genital nomenclature change as a person transitions? 2 weeks ago:
Well the answer is a deceptively simple “it all depends on the person”. The line for when it crosses over into dysphoria isn’t a universal one. Really the only way you would know if you upset him is if he told you. So if he hasn’t ever said anything to this effect, don’t overthink it. It’s a common idiom.
The good rule of thumb is “would I be making a genitals comment to a cis person in this same situation?”. Lots of guys will make dick jokes, but how often do those same guys ask each other the medical history of their junk? Not often I’d imagine, and the times that would happen would be for a specific reason.
Might be safe to err on not making references to the genitals they were born with, but everyone different. As a trans woman I will happily use my vestigial teeny tiny penis as a punchline if I know I am among friends. I’d just never presume to make that joke about another trans woman.

… what?
Make a dish twice, once without the bay leaf. There is an obvious difference. It’s fine to not like the taste of any particular spice but saying there is none is sort of crazy?
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 2 weeks ago:
Will Smith is a perfectly fine action hero, romantic and comedic star. But I struggle to see him pull something that nuanced off. Has he ever been a villain?
Started skimming wiki out of curiosity. Suicide Squad very technically? I am legend makes the best case for it, but even that is played very hero.

I enjoy Kevin Smith story time far more than his movies.

He says there’s “convincing “ evidence for its existence.
Big if true. He should send that to you instead of making memes.

No Lilly Allen? West end girl is album of the year IMO.

As a negative control, they also prepared an identical sealed tray containing only a wet sponge and the biosensor, but no meat. They observed that the biosensors in the pork and mutton trays turned bright yellow after 24 hours, while the one in the beef tray took 36 hours. In contrast, the control biosensor showed no detectable change.
That’s so cool, meat is still gross, but this is unambiguously a fantastic thing for humanity. If it’s actually used, I’d have to imagine the less reliable yet ass covering legal expiration date sticker will always be cheaper. Hope this becomes the new mandated standard, innovations are meaningless in the face of uncaring capitalistism.
- Comment on Is it really dangerous to fall sleep in the bath? 5 weeks ago:
I near exclusively take bubble baths. Some nice epsom salt, soft music, chamomile tea. It’s the best!
You should try it, maybe you’d be less of a judgey sour puss.
- Comment on Am I financially enabling child labor in 3rd world countries by buying second hand fast fashion? 1 month ago:
So I’m going to come at this from a different perspective because I’ve put a lot of thought in to this topic in other ways. I’m vegan, meaning I do not buy, consume or use any animal products, which obviously includes leather or fur. However since I am not financially supporting those industries by paying for those products and the perpetuation of animal abuse practices, I consider it moral for me to buy those items 2nd hand.
However I do not, for two big reasons:
- Ew. It’s literally skin. That’s so gross. I don’t want to touch leather, let alone wear it.
- The perception of those viewing me, I don’t want to be seen as a person that pays for fur and leather. Wearing an item is tacit endorsement of the item to everyone who views you, strangers included.
So to bring it back around, yes you can thrift fast fashion ethically. So long as you understand that anyone who recognize it as fast fashion, will reasonably think you buy fast fashion and support the industry. Up to you if that’s something you are comfortable with it.
- Comment on Ubisoft target audience when they play a good game 1 month ago:
I firmly believe the only reason this game is “beloved” is the same reason that iPhones sell just because of the logo of the company that made them.
It’s more nostalgia than branding. I’ll entirely agree that half life hasn’t aged great, but what’s important is the historical context. The games were groundbreaking for the time, especially HL2 with its physics engine and gravity gun. I remember playing it just days after release then being shocked and amazed at those different systems. There just weren’t many games with that level of polish tackling such a wide scope.
Just like with watershed TV/movie/music, it seems quaint and overhyped as their innovations become the norm.

Zero disagreement with any of that. It’s a violent, brutal, racist, greedy, cyberpunk dystopia out there.
Burn it all dowm. 🔥🇺🇸🔥
- Comment on Nvidia GeForce Now’s Time Limit Will Stop Gamers After 100 Hours Each Month 2 months ago:
This is one of those situations where you’re correct, but also being poopy about it. For people who don’t regularly play games or can’t afford a system, this is basically a modern blockbuster.

- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 2 months ago:
Yup, you’re entirely correct, Obsidian is often and loudly praised, they deserve it. But also…
… they deserve a lil more… always a lil’ more!
(I’m just being silly and dum. I have just recently started their games and just wanted to sing their praises myself. Don’t mind me, just a lil fan girling out about great world building. 🥹)
- Comment on Jason Schreier's List of the Best Video Games of 2025 2 months ago:
Obsidian as a studio is super underrated. Both pillars of eternity has amazing worldbuilding and narrative. They aren’t unknown or anything, but gotdang they are some of the most creative devs out there!
- Comment on Steam winter sale is live. What patient games are you picking up? 2 months ago:
Please don’t giving money to people who explicitly use it to perscuit, harass and roll back the rights of a minority group. There are so many other games, give your business to anyone else.
- Comment on Why We're Boycotting Xbox (and Maybe You Should Too) - People Make Games 2 months ago:
Xbox itself, sure. But this boycott is for the larger war crimes that Microsoft is abetting via surveillance, storage and AI informed bombing in palestine. The corporation itself isn’t rotting, but a thriving pumpkin patch.
So much so that nearly all businesses and much government run and rely on Windows. Which is why Xbox in particular is being targeted. It’s a strictly consumer product that is not strictly nessecary with substitutions available.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 2 months ago:
You’re right, tradition is a poor reason for anything, abundantly agree. However this is an incredibly pedantic topic to deploy that argument. You’re taking a trueism and applying it to something with such low stakes that it becomes a little silly.
Which is why you’re getting so much push back. You’re repeating the same truth, but that’s not relevant to why people are down voting and sassing ya.
- Comment on Divinity - Cinematic Announcement Trailer 2 months ago:
It’s fiction, not reality. I agree its a lot, I looked away a bit, but ya don’t have to be judgemental when no one was ACTUALLY hurt.

- Comment on ELI5 why I logically understand McDonald's food is low quality and bad for me but I crave it like crack? 3 months ago:
Because sugar, fat and salt in those quantities are literally addictive. Our human/monkey brains were wired for survival, not overall health. Eating a large source of those three would’ve been a massive help in surviving winter when our next meal wouldn’t be guaranteed.

Gawwdan preventing rebinding is so annoying! Or it’s monkey paw wish cousin, letting you rebinding but the on-screen prompts are hard coded to display the default key.
In a simmiliar accessibility vein, I’m hard of hearing so when a game has no option for subtitles then at best I catch 1/3rd of the story.
