  How is there even an argument there ?? You need the internet to find work, handle tons of administrative bs etc. You basically cannot function as a citizen in most western countries without it nowadays.

  Maybe start by pricing your shit fairly and not have me pay 7 different subscriptions to watch movies that were shot before the internet existed. Not to mention that I don’t want any of my infos on your servers because you’ve demonstrated several times that you don’t care nearly as much about this data than your precious IPs, Sony.

  Because they’re not practical and they fell out of style

  That’s not even ATBGE because imo that’s not really bad taste. But it is on the weirder side.

  I don’t remember, but I know for a fact that cats are their natural predators

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it weird to juggle in the park?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s possibly the least disruptive thing you can do that may also entertain some passersby

  I was gonna say, OP’s got it backwards, but if that works for them, more power to them !

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨O no⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  First time I’ve laughed at one of these in years

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You might want to hose it off when you are done⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  People in general aren’t that good at washing their hands after peeing tbh. Though I would generalize Muslims as generally more hygienic since it’s basically a core tenet of their faith iirc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨U.S. Secretary of Commerce says the ‘new model’ is factory jobs for life—for you, your kids, and your grandkids⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Otto von Bismarck moment.

  (Context: dude instated pretty much the first pensions system in the world to try and stop the Marxists gaining influence, and allegedly asked the guy in charge of making the program to set the retirement age at a value where most of the population would die before reaching it. Iirc they settled on 70 years old, which is definitely too old for the average 19th century factory peon)

  I always sacrifice some small piece of fruit or meat to them when the wasps are getting annoying. 65% of the time, it works everytime and they fuck off with their gift and never come back

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  KF2 has some amazing animations for guns handling (and great feeling when shooting) that still hold up to this day. Such a shame that they ruined the art direction with all the shiny shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yep. Joining your favorite TF2 server on a Saturday afternoon and seeing that half of the server playing sandvich heavies, doing a conga line, having a full on philosophical discussion in the spectator chat, or annoying the engineers as a group of spycrabs was peak gaming

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve's invite-only Deadlock has an even more exclusive top-secret hush-hush version⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Here’s hoping KF3 doesn’t suck (unfortunately the odds don’t look too good currently)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Liquid Trees⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the idea behind this is that algae are more space-efficient than trees at producing oxygen and/or capturing CO2. Of course this is also ignoring that the bulk of a tree’s volume is high above the ground, and they also provide other things like shade and shelter for insects etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pope⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  in 2004, a new category of astronaut was created: the commercial astronaut.

  Let’s not mix the people who saw colleagues die and put their own lives on the line for science with the human billboard receiving money to advertise a rich fuck’s commercial vanity project that’s already been deemed safe (in no small parts due to it being tested by actual astronauts beforehand).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Either you have to do some work for the tower’s master. That could be stuff like cleaning their orbs so they can ponder them later, preparing/finding magical critters to be used in their potions, putting away his stupid sentient magical artifacts that keep trying to escape or do some shenanigans… Whatever. And try to gather information/find escape routes etc. But imo if there is some knight gameplay, it should be a minor part of the experience, otherwise you will indeed feel like you’re just playing the knight

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's worth the trip.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone tried so hard to make it not spell “cock” anywhere too

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Fairy tales⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I instantly thought about redcaps, but they’re quite bloodthirsty, so it doesn’t really fit what they say in the meme.

  “increase your military power for free”… what’s the portion of the federal budget that is allocated to defense again ?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It must tremble⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can do 1% of the effort it you strategically place the toy where the cat will inevitably get it stuck. I have a coffee table with a bottom part where you can store things, so there’s a 10 cm gap between the bottom and the floor. Trying to get his toys from under there after he swatted them too hard can keep my cat very busy

  2 and 3. 1 and 5 are too short, they’re last resort shit

  Imo Asmongold is good to mid, until he starts getting political, then it plummets into awful. Also yeah I think the garand thumb to far right pipeline is very real, the guy is actually quite extreme iirc

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I wanted to use my new pcie 5.0 nvme for both Linux and windows but it’s not even being recognized as nvme in windows apparently, so I think I’m gonna reset all this shit and put windows on my old nvme and Linux on the new one but it’s a hassle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Windows 10 LTSC – the version that won't expire for years⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have one, it still isn’t great. Windows update routinely fucks with it. Currently using windows as my daily driver because I can’t be arsed to fix my Linux partition again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jack Dorsey would like to ‘delete all IP law’.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have spent time and effort creating things myself. Still think ip law is not entirely accomplishing what it should, which is protecting the interests of people producing intellectual works, preferably while they can still reap the benefits of said work and are not financially/socially stable. It seems it’s basically working backwards, great for inheritors to make millions by doing nothing except owning some IPs but terrible at protecting the people who actually need it.

  I also know a few people holding some important patents, and I guess the patent system is alright in comparison, at least in France, since it did actually protect their work while also allowing others to use it fairly and improve on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Least concerning Renault engine

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That is almost 3 times the highway speed limit and roughly 83 m/s if I got the math right. At that speed the car will travel 40m on average before you even press the brake pedal, then the average car will take probably about 1s (which I think is conservatively low) of emergency braking to stop (or almost), traveling another 83m.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Video Game Industry Failed Monolith Productions.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It becomes effectively, from an emotional standpoint, like their child.

  It’s the same with code. It involves more basic logic than art but it’s still creative work imo. Hell, there’s even artistic forms of coding.
