- Comment on If spiderman shoots webs from his wrists would not the tension of shooting and swingiing up a skyscraper pretty much break his wrist? Also why SpiderMAN shouuldn''t it be SpiderTEEN? 4 days ago:
Blah blah blah, ‘Quantum Realm’.
- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 week ago:
This part should have been a lot more visible and not just hidden as part of a generalized forum post. The error the individual users got doesn’t do anything to make it clear what the user or server owners need to do.
As an intentional change by Plex, presenting basic guidance as to what the error theyve caused means should be the absolute bare minimum. This is the piece that annoys me most.

I wonder if he ever got to realize that his lasting contribution to humanity was going to be improving the sex lives of several entire generations.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You’re facing down an unpopular opinion, but it’s mostly because you’re also obviously purposefully pretending that you don’t understand the real issue because I assume you’re trolling, bored, or maybe just a shitty person.
You’re presenting it as ‘kids shouldnt watch porn’ but completely ignoring the implications to individual liberty.
- Comment on House Oversight and Government Reform Committee to investigate Wikipedia over allegations of organized bias 2 weeks ago:
Like… You should probably get to work organizing then because they’re already doing it.
- Comment on Taco Bell Says 'No Más' to AI Drive-Thru Experiment 2 weeks ago:
Seconded, mine got rid of actual in store ordering and replaced it with kiosks that are basically just a giant interface for the mobile app years ago. I’ve heard most of their drive through orders are from mobile orders too now, but that is purely anecdotal just from chatting with the guy at the drive through window while I was waiting after placing a mobile order in the parking lot.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 3 weeks ago:
You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.
Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.
- Comment on Uncomfortable Questions About Android Developer Verification 3 weeks ago:
It sucks that that’s the best option, but if we’ve made it to that point I personally would rather just use the website without extra steps.
- Comment on Attempted another Trek meal: Andorian cabbage soup and Norellian twist bread. 4 weeks ago:
Maybe its why the Andorians are blue?
- Comment on Honor student truth 4 weeks ago:
Like… Which YouTube conspiracy videos? Hard to find ones that aren’t a mouthpiece for some sort of political party, I could use some expert recommendations.
- Comment on A small art gallery in Japan just happened to have these pictures next to each other. And then it morphed into a popular meme template 5 weeks ago:
This interpretation of the meme doesn’t exactly predate genAI, but it does predate genAI becoming good enough to do this. We did have some weird stuff that google was messing with back then that was vaguely similar, but I don’t think we even called it AI at the time. It mostly made things that looked like LSD hallucinations.
I bought a copy on etsy for someone shortly after pandemic lockdown back in 2020. It’s been awhile, but seem to remember the artist having several more meme interpretations in a similar style.

Sometimes it is just about choosing which fight you want to have today.
- Comment on Florida sues some of the biggest porn platforms, accusing them of not complying with the state's age verification law 1 month ago:
People are downvoting you because you’re telling them that the law isn’t fair, sucks my friend.
I do wonder if Xvideos or some of these other companies that are primarily international have any infrastructure in the US/Florida that could be affected by a ruling of some sort. I feel like there might be something there depending on how they’re taking payment for Xvideos Red.
- Comment on [Update: Valve Responds] Mastercard Denies Pressuring Steam To Censor 'NSFW' Games 1 month ago:
Mastercard is living the corporate dream. They’ve colluded their way to a near monopoly and don’t have to care about the value of their brand. They just have to be invisible enough that they don’t pull heat for something or other from various governments.
- Comment on hygiene 1 month ago:
Could be just poop, but combining old man smell, body odor and mold will make some gnarly stench. Still someone needs to get out the cleaning supplies.

New warning label unlocked: Do not eat the Batteries.
- Comment on Outer Worlds 2 cut to $70 after backlash 1 month ago:
If you’re basing your value judgement on the price of similar games on the market right now then no, it’s very very unlikely to be worth 70. There are critically acclaimed open world games that will likely beat this on content and potential enjoyment / play time for $5-10 right now.
Realistically, we’re paying for the novelty though, if you’re desperate for something new it might work. I told myself my price point was $60, but there will probably be some sort of discount on the way to or shortly after launch day for the PC version.
- Comment on Amazon is considering shoving ads into Alexa+ conversations 1 month ago:
It’s fun and I recommend it, but I’m hesitant to say you can ‘replace’ your existing systems with it. You’ll probably mostly be able do what you want to do, but we’re still in the enthusiast stage and there’s going to be annoyances and frustrations. Home assistant is also one of the easier things to setup as far as self hosting goes, but you’re going to pick up some skills on the path to getting it working.
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 1 month ago:
The people who would typically be expected to push back against collective shout also typically wouldn’t be expected to do anything effective whereas the people involved with collective shout are the type of people who give politicians money.

Also like, have we all forgotten about the possibility of someone having two phones.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 month ago:
People have tried to setup a federated alternative to Tinder/etc and other things, but population is still real low and we’re still kind of weird. The sparse demographic info we have is also more than a bit skewed, it’s rough.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 month ago:
Don’t even have to make it symmetrical my friend, I am still down.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 month ago:
Good is relative, you forget all coffee you’ve had previously and keep access to your current coffee. All other coffee is permanently worse than this one going forward.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 month ago:
If it lets me breathe properly and consistently living in the south, I don’t even care, throw another one on the other side of my face too as a backup just in case.
- Comment on Why does technology create new problems for each one it solves? 1 month ago:
There’s an idea in marketing that if you create a solution, you also need to create new problems that you can market. For example, you buy a printer to allow you to print at home but now you need to buy overpriced proprietary ink. Or maybe you buy a phone, but now what can we do to make sure you come back to buy a new phone in 2 years? Truly solving a problem sells something once and that will not satisfy the infinite growth mindset.
It’s a concept up there with Edward Bernays work in popularizing applying propaganda techniques to modern advertising as the idea that may have done the most to really push capitalism to its worst possible end.

- Comment on Everyone thinks their condition normal before finding out it's not. 2 months ago:
I thought that was the problem, but it was just sleep apnea causing most of it. Try forcing yourself to sleep on your side, maybe look into a sleep study if you have the option.
- Comment on Hytale, once touted as the Minecraft killer, is ceasing development 2 months ago:
There’s been a rumor floating around that it never existed as a game anyways and that the footage they do have is faked. It’s definitely a bit out there, but with the way they’ve acted about it, I kinda believe it.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 2 months ago:
That’s kind of the thing, we want to think they’re a bunch of sexless losers, but the basic tenets of advice you get from the manosphere will probably get you laid. Following manosphere advice works because it’s the exact same advice you just laid out but packaged in a more attractive and focused manner. It just happens to be with a side of right wing politics and more than a bit of misogyny.
