- Comment on CNN: Republicans release AI deepfake of James Talarico as phony videos proliferate in midterm races 14 hours ago:
Absolutely.
Anyone who says they don’t have a bias or assumption is very vulnerable to have their bias and assumptions exploited.
Anyone who thinks they’re immune to propaganda is most at risk of being persuaded by it.
- Comment on With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake? 15 hours ago:
Gotta agree. What kind of aristocrats are we dealing with here who eat cake with cutlery? 😁
- Comment on I haven't had time to look into it, ok? 18 hours ago:
Be better than bad RAM! Or CPU probably
- Comment on I haven't had time to look into it, ok? 18 hours ago:
I just solved this exact issue after living with it for a few months.
For me it was a bad PSU, voltage drop probably stopping the HDDs and SSDs, which knocked over the Kernel
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 1 day ago:
Cathartic maybe, coin flip on whether it’s therapeutic or not.
- Comment on Is it actually healthy for people to have a place to confess things anonymously? 1 day ago:
Well, it could go either way.
One of the reasons therapists exist is they’re not blank voids like the internet.
They can respond in human ways, be real and realistic. Help put the confession into context of a person’s life.
Without that, it’s a role of the dice. Some people will come away feeling lighter.
Some will come away with a sensation of having talked themselves into believing they’re a piece of ****.
I guess that’s why AITA is such a popular format.
- Comment on Drivers could get licence points for fly-tipping 1 day ago:
That’s where I do my fly tipping.
There’s two places within a fifteen minute drive where I can dump anything.
Literally just drive in.
- Comment on Some people live their lives afraid of being different than others and afraid of being the same. 4 days ago:
Well, it’s hard to judge how stupid people are.
People often mistake disagreement for being stupid. Or someone doing something dumb as being stupid, even though everyone does something dumb sometimes.
Better to judge on actions, rather than whatever guess we have of how stupid someone is.

Imma go with the four sprung duck technique

Can we yuck their premature deaths! 🤔
- Comment on YSK: You Don't Actually Have A 'Lizard Brain', Evolutionary Study Reveals 1 week ago:
Details vary from person to person.
- Comment on Aint never seen someone turn off their cellphone at the pump 1 week ago:
A cigarette can light petrol fumes though!
And they can light petrol.
The possibilities are endless.
- Comment on Assuming an average value of $500k per-house, a millionaire could own two houses and a billionaire could own the entire neighborhood 1 week ago:
My favourite way to describe this is “the difference between a million and a billion is about a billion.”
- Comment on New member 1 week ago:
This is such a niche joke for those places with the right accent.
- Comment on I want to replay Skyrim but 1 week ago:
Fallout 3 is very similar to Skyrim.
I’d suggest that.
If you’re comfortable with modding, in suggest “A Tale of two wastelands” as this merges fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas into a single game.
Fallout 1 and 2 are very different games. Good, but nothing like Skyrim.
Fallout 4 feels very different, not in a bad way but it’s not got the charm of Skyrim or Fallout 3, that lovely feeling of finding things in a flawlessly crafted world.
- Comment on I want to replay Skyrim but 1 week ago:
How about Fallout? Two of them are a similar experience.
- Comment on What if it's actually pronounced "Arstralia," and we never realized because of the accent? 1 week ago:
Awww. Yeah, Nah.
- Comment on The only difference between a monster and a decent human being is the privilege of a support network. 2 weeks ago:
A person cannot control their reputation, but they can control whether it’s true or not.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 2 weeks ago:
Had this problem for a the last three months. Tested hard drives, memory and everything else.
Turned out to be a PSU with an intermittent issue where it would drop voltage. Very annoying!
- Comment on Floating turbine towers above — the S1500 hovers to harvest wind at 131 feet 2 weeks ago:
is it 131ft long? 🤔
- Comment on Heavy snow when you're a kid is a dream come true, heavy snow when you're an adult is a nightmare. 2 weeks ago:
Same for me here. I work from home these days, so for me it’s just a treat.
- Comment on The "western hemisphere" rubs me the wrong way 3 weeks ago:
Very different kind of real

Was after Postal 2
- Comment on What Your Bluetooth Devices Reveal About You: Building Bluehood, a Bluetooth scanner that reveals what information we leak just by having Bluetooth enabled on our devices. 3 weeks ago:
Might not help.
Some Samsung Bluetooth sharing services talk to other devices with Bluetooth off.
Likely on other brands too. It’s infuriating how normalised this has become despite the obvious privacy and security issues.
- Comment on When you get older you lose the ability to do things quietly, such as fart, or let young people live their lives. 4 weeks ago:
I don’t see your implied contradiction here.
They said they’re not interested in other people’s shot whilst responding to a shower thought about their shit. 💁♂️
- Comment on Meta progression in roguelites was fun for a while, but it's starting to feel unrewarding 5 weeks ago:
For a while, meta progression felt like a clever way to keep games fresh. You’d unlock new gear, perks, or passive bonuses between runs, and that sense of forward motion made failure feel productive.
Sounds like regular progression?
- Comment on If you receive a high medical bill, don't pay it immediately. Ask for an itemized bill first. 1 month ago:
Funny for me too. I’ve never received a bill from a hospital visit.
- Comment on Almost a quarter of UK GPs are seeing obese children aged four and under 1 month ago:
Can we take collective responsibility for our society without taking any collective blame?
Need to split it out. Take out the blame and punishment, and see it from a grown up point of view.
Coz I hear you, I’m not taking the blame for stuff I had no control over. That makes no sense. I owe nobody anything for that stuff.
I am over okay with taxes, or other measures, which address society’s needs even if they aversely affect me. Ws we have a shared responsibility to make society a better place.

What other game lets you…
Stun Gun till they wet themselves.
Pour petrol on them while they’re down
Flick a match on them when they get up
Piss on the corpse when they fall down
Wonder if there’s something my subconscious is telling me?
😁
