It was mostly for the joke, as the scientific calculator answer is just the equation written with different notation.
- Comment on Massive Pokemon leak purportedly covers next-gen games, scrapped ideas, and more 1 week ago:
Let me guess, they’re introducing base-building and crafting elements that they somehow patented ten years ago.

Gotta change it to scientific Image

Pretty sure Naomi Wildman was raised by a chef.

As long as the heater doesn’t fail in the middle of the night.
- Comment on There are more blockbuster movies with real life sex predators as the main lead, than female leads 2 weeks ago:
My guy, I’m just letting you know what they meant by “Comm” because you seemed to be confused by it. I think their argument is generally fallacious at best, and disingenuous at worst.
Though, I suppose it’s understandable to feel attacked when that seems to be all people want to do in here.
- Comment on There are more blockbuster movies with real life sex predators as the main lead, than female leads 2 weeks ago:
“Comm” generally refers to “Community”, roughly analogous to a “subreddit” or “subforum”. It refers, in this case, to the /c/showerthoughts community we’re currently in.

Then there’s the club 33 equivalent for the billionaire class.
- Comment on In order for superman to keep his cover as Clark Kent countless innocents he had the power to save have to die every day. 2 weeks ago:
There was an open window and they’re on a high floor.
Though it was something I was thinking about. Could he somehow use his super breath to replace any displaced air? Does the same super-shielding effect that keeps his costume from get torn in every fight also keep him from being affected by air resistance and thus cause less disturbance when he’s moving at super speeds?
Its all comic book magic, of course, but interesting things to think about.

You dont have super speed.

There’s often references to his flakiness. Its a common trope in various series that he’ll here someone in trouble and excuse himself to go save them. Sometimes it just shows him “accidentally” dropping a pen, reaching under the table to get it, and using his super speed to zip off and save someone.
- Comment on Everybody is fine with celebrities like Whoopi Goldberg making up fake names for themselves, but when someone chooses a name for themselves to suit their gender identity it's suddenly a problem 3 weeks ago:
Often they have to due to SAG rules. Only one person can have a name while being part of the union.
Like Emma Stone. Her real name is Emily Stone, but there was already one working with SAG, so she had to change it. She even prefers Emily.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 3 weeks ago:
If there’s only ever one avenue of attack, sure. Your example posits that encryption is the only security layer that exists, which is laughable. Most security breaches happen at the personnel level, not the technical one.
A site does not “become facebook” just because it’s not 100% decentralized from every other possible service. Countless other factors go into it. Not the least of which is the nature of the people running it. If you run a service, and make it nigh impossible for a general public (your main market) to use because you fear it will become compromised, you are basically saying that you will compromise it otherwise, and probably shouldn’t be running that service.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 3 weeks ago:
But only accepting one possible alternative is an extreme. You can build in safeguards… but if they’re too rigorous you will drive away potential users. Much like with freedom and security, you need to middle ground between accessibility and defensibility.
- Comment on flohmarkt a federated alternative to ebay and facebook marketplace 3 weeks ago:
If only there were some kind of middle ground… sadly only extremes exist 😔

Does playing Yakuza count?
- Comment on Travel back to the days of cable TV with Blippo+, a time-hopping FMV game about... I'm not entirely sure, actually 4 weeks ago:
If it’s anything like the game Immortality, there’s an underlying story you can figure out. The gameplay in Immortality involves clicking elements in the video to link to elements from videos from other times and in-universe media. You can fast-forward and reverse, and there’s a hidden element you can discover.
Lots of nudity and a fair amount of blood, though.
- Comment on [Any Austin] Do Red Dead Redemption 2's Power Lines Connect to Anything? 4 weeks ago:
But… a video isnt real life. It’d be more like “I dont need a nature documentary because I have a book on nature”.

I suspect the same is true about American Eagle’s Sydney Sweeney ad.
What the fuck…
I didn’t even know this was a thing…

Some publishers call it a “battle pass” or “seasons” instead.

- Comment on Subscription models like Xbox Game Pass are "not properly valuing" developers, says former Bethesda exec 1 month ago:
At least for video streaming services, they care more about new subscribers than retaining subscribers. That State of Decay may be a retention game, but the indie darling was the first thing they played upon subscribing. That’s likely going to hold more weight.

That would just mean you couldn’t use the graphic format for pictures of peanut butter. It should be fine for everything else.

- Comment on Cyclops would be a very different character if his eyelids weren't laserproof 1 month ago:
He’s an omega level mutant (basically so powerful they defy classification). He literally manipulates things at the atomic level, the ice thing is just how he best comprehends his own powers.
