- Comment on Why do we have a bunch of ways to say good night, but only one way to say good morning? 9 hours ago:
Because mornings suck
- Comment on How come streaming or satelite don't have a playlist option? I got Dish and its annoying where I can't just tack on a bunch of movies or series and just let them play in an order I choose? 20 hours ago:
Bamboo answered more thoroughly, but shorthand: streaming and broadcast are fundamentally different.
A simple comparison would be an advertisement on a billboard vs advertisement via junk mail. Fixed cost vs per-person cost.
- Comment on Why does apartment management expect you to call the police over every tenant incident? 20 hours ago:
Not sure where you live, but that hasn’t been my experience at all.
- Comment on The consequences of not building enough housing 1 day ago:
Don’t let corporations own any rental building over approximately 10 units
Wouldn’t corpos be the ones to buy larger buildings (e.g. over 10 units)? It’s tough for typical individual investors to be able to buy a 100-unit building.
It’s SFH that they shouldn’t be buying.
- Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them? 1 day ago:

- Comment on What do all the subgenres of music mean? How does anyone make sense of them? 1 day ago:
I’m an avid music listener and don’t really get it either. The main thing is that I don’t view genres as rigid categories, rather as general descriptions of how music sounds. Bands can have albums or even individual songs that don’t fit the genre of their other albums/songs.
With metal and all of its sub-genres in particular, sometimes it feels like splitting hairs.
- Comment on People have near limitless options for what to watch on tv, and still complain 1 day ago:
It can still be tricky if you are a sports fan
- Comment on Tradition is just bullying by dead people 2 days ago:
I also think the older one (peer pressure) is more apt than “bullying.”
- Comment on Those of you who are angry at the US for allowing ICE to stifle people's liberties - how do you channel your anger and irritation? 2 days ago:
Hitting the gym. Exercise is good for one’s mental health
- Comment on Hard drive prices have surged by an average of 46% since September — iconic 24TB Seagate BarraCuda now $500 as AI claims another victim 3 days ago:
Dude from NVIDIA: “please stop talking bad about AI. It’s hurting my feelings.”

You think corpo content is limited to political subs?
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
Yeah, I don’t understand why someone would want or need to use an app for Reddit. Reddit is a website, just use a browser.
If you’re on mobile, use “desktop mode” if the mobile site starts giving you lip. Or just pre-emptively switch to it.
- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 3 days ago:
I use mobile browser in “desktop mode” for stuff like this.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 days ago:
I’d be surprised if it was only 15%
- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 3 days ago:
it doesn’t work without an app.
You can’t use it in a browser? Does that mean that you can’t use it on a PC?
- Comment on dating 4 days ago:
IME community centers are more like gyms and activity centers. But I suppose they could vary by region and by individual community center.
- Comment on dating 4 days ago:
No. College is: expensive, heavily skews young, has a lot of homework, has tests, and generally represents a significant time commitment.
Realistically, I should probably put more effort into finding a suitable recurring volunteer opportunity. Something that is based on personal values would presumably help with finding like-minded people while also engaging in an activity that is inherently meaningful to me.
- Comment on What a great idea 4 days ago:
The fucking floor displays in aisles that create chokepoints, and then aisles that have a bunch of popular shit all together creating a traffic jam. And don’t get me started on the lack of manned checkout lines anymore. Self-checkout is adequate as express lanes (i.e. limited number of items, limited produce, no alcohol) but sucks if you are buying more.
I try to go later in the evening to avoid the rush.
- Comment on dating 4 days ago:
I’d probably be open to the concept of a secular church. Not for dating, but just for platonic socialization and community.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
One thing that concerns me is the wear/tear limits on SSDs. Under normal replacement cycles it isn’t such a concern, but it becomes an issue if you have to extend it out.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
Older games will play via emulation on a damn phone. They’ll practically play on a potato.
Might be playing Balatro and such rather than the latest iteration of AAA whatever, but I mostly play games closer to the former than the latter already.
- Comment on 4 days ago:
No thanks, I’m good.
- Comment on Microsoft warns that China is winning AI race outside the west 6 days ago:
And if anyone wants to know why American tech companies are gavaging us with AI, why NVIDIA and Micro$oft are “begging” us to stop talking shit about AI, this is why. It’s another tech race.
- Comment on Wing's drone deliveries are coming to 150 more Walmarts 6 days ago:
This drone delivery stuff just seems so gimmicky. Belongs on /NotTheOnion
- Comment on Trump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again 6 days ago:
Lock-In effect in general: If your friends, neighbors, even governments all use product x (i.e. Whatsapp) and expect you to use those too in order to communicate with them It is very difficult to switch to something else because the people you want to talk to have to be convinced one by one to give it a try. (it’s possible, just very hard to do)
One way to combat this is with bridging / interoperability that allow for partial transitioning. This obviously isn’t applicable to many, many things. But a chat program (e.g. Whatsapp) is actually an example where it is applicable.
- Comment on The more you learn about human biology and childbirths, the more you'd realize how shitty and inferior this form of existence is... 6 days ago:
All that matters is if the individual manages to reproduce successfully.
I gave a big middle finger to natural selection.
- Comment on Apple leads global smartphone market with 20% share in 2025 6 days ago:
OS is a much more important distinguishing feature than brand. So even if the article is about brand, I am adding my own observation to it about OS.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 6 days ago:
Civil disobedience feels like a better approach
We really should stop showing up. Stop showing up to work. Stop showing up to buy things. Stop showing up to sign up for the military. Stop reproducing.
- Comment on Apple leads global smartphone market with 20% share in 2025 6 days ago:
And?
- Comment on Apple leads global smartphone market with 20% share in 2025 6 days ago:
So … Android is a supermajority? Unless there’s a 3rd OS that has a big slice of market share.
