That article is wild to me. I consider myself a super taster and smeller. The list of foods super taster’s avoid is basically a list of my favorite flavors. Maybe I’m just a slightly above average taster?

Correct. My wife loves that show lol

I found the game to be pretty shit. It’s like fallout, but just the boring looting trash and constantly balancing inventory part, but with the added fun of people multiple times your level one shotting you.
5 hours in and I’ve got no desire to play it anymore.

It’s a myth that all the boomers got theirs. Don’t get me wrong, our deal is absolutely worse, but the rich have been fucking people for profit as long as there’s been rich people.

Not gonna fucking work anyhow. Prohibition doesn’t work, it hasn’t ever worked. If they can’t browse phub, they’ll find it somewhere else. You can find porn in fucking Roblox.

As the parent of a 4.5 year old I gotta say, what a stupid fucking take.
- Comment on Hyundai car requires $2000, app & internet access to fix your brakes - what the actual f 4 weeks ago:
I think I had a stroke reading this.
From what I’m gathered, you believe no at home DIY mechanic should be changing their own brake pads? It’s not complicated, I completed my first pad change when I was 16 with a diagram and instructions a tow truck driver wrote on the back of a takeout menu. I did the sensible thing and tested them before moving and again at low speeds in a parking lot.

I’d say you want a human CEO so there’s accountability, but I don’t know that’s even true anymore.

The older generations have almost certainly doomed humanity. We need sweeping environmental reform, a better education system, and to have something to combat rampant consumerism.
You don’t need a new car every five years. Your phone’s fine. Will festive mugs you use once a year really make your life better?

As I get older I continuously get more mad at the older generations.
- Comment on 'Big Short' Michael Burry bets $1bn on AI bubble bursting | LBC 1 month ago:
If there’s no profit being made companies won’t keep spending. A large part of this bubble are the plans tech companies have to build out more AI. If these companies blink and reduce their plans it will begin the selloff. They’re still all in on forcing AI down your throat, because they need you to be used to using it so they can start charging you a monthly subscription.
- Comment on Norway’s mega wealth fund to reject Elon Musk’s $1 trillion Tesla pay package 1 month ago:
Yup, but they actually built one in Vegas. It’s a joke. It’s two Tesla with drivers going about 25mph in tunnels.
- Comment on Norway’s mega wealth fund to reject Elon Musk’s $1 trillion Tesla pay package 1 month ago:
Because it’s nonsense. We’re a decade past the promised rollout of full self driving, the hyperloop is a failure, the cybertruck is a flop, China makes EVs significantly better and cheaper than Tesla. The batteries they’re selling are looking more and more likely to get leapfrogged by solid state batteries too. Half the world refuses to touch anything his companies produce.
Tesla stock should be in the shitter, but results don’t matter anymore.
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 2 months ago:
I still keep it installed but I’m waiting a decade more before I replay it. Hopefully I forget enough to have a similar experience
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 2 months ago:
That’s not really in the spirit of the question though. The question boils down to “what game made you feel some kinda way that you’d like to replicate?” It’s entirely hypothetical. Theres too many amazing games that have been made in the last thirty years to ever finish them all. But that doesn’t take away from that moment in a game that was so new and impactful that it became seared into. I’ve had experiences so deep it literally changed how I felt about death and loss and it would be amazing to feel those feelings again.
- Comment on Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again? 2 months ago:
My first thought too. Probably in my top three games, but you can only play it the best way once.
- Comment on Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors 2 months ago:
So now the AI trawls other AI slop, so it’s essentially getting inbred. So they literally need you to subscribe to their AI slop so they can get new data directly from you because we’re still nowhere near AGI.
- Comment on ‘I realised I’d been ChatGPT-ed into bed’: how ‘Chatfishing’ made finding love on dating apps even weirder 2 months ago:
As a person who loves learning and building new skills, I find this absolutely abhorrent. If you never do anything challenging or difficult, you’ll eventually be so far out of the skill curve that you’ll lack the base skills necessary to develop more complex skills. These people are on their way to a combined Idiocracy/Wall-E future and I hate that they’re dragging the rest of us down with them.

They sell a powder for moss and algae. You just spread along the peaks of your roof prior to some rain and the rain will carry it into the growth. You can use a push broom pushing with the shingles for stubborn clumps. Using a pressure washer directly on your roof can cause issues, but if you’re intending to just use the pressure to shoot a liquid solution on from the ground it shouldn’t damage it, just wear a mask.
- Comment on bmw 3 months ago:
Because BMW signals are different. Tiny tap gets you three blinks and goes off (more standard now). Pushing a direction turns them on, and unlike other cars you push the same direction again to disengage. This way you never accidentally push too far and do the opposite signal.
I definitely prefer the BMW signal to any other vehicles I’ve driven, but as a BMW driver I’ve learned that when you signal people will aggressively close gaps. I still signal but take the space almost instantly because I know 90% of drivers will try to block me out.
- Comment on 95% of Companies See ‘Zero Return’ on $30 Billion Generative AI Spend, MIT Report Finds 3 months ago:
More like most CEOs are fucking dumb. They attach to whatever the tech buzzword is. So AI being a buzzword drew them in, then the AI uses other buzzwords? It’s like a moth to the flame.

I hardly post on any social media besides here and I still feel violated.
- Comment on Report: Microsoft's latest Windows 11 24H2 update breaks SSDs/HDDs, may corrupt your data 4 months ago:
As someone who’s played a few LLM translated games, it is in fact not good at it. There’s a lot of contextual hints that get lost and slang terms tend to confuse it. It does make it close enough where a human that doesn’t speak/read the original language could easily finish the translation though or still make it through the game.
- Comment on Forget Netflix, Volkswagen locks horsepower behind paid subscription 4 months ago:
I hate it so much. It’s absolutely crazy how companies can be so anti consumer and get away with it because they market it well. Still can’t have a decent group chat if someone’s on an Apple device. That new car tracks you and sells the info, now you need to pay to unlock it’s full potential. The new os is always online and shares your info non-stop, it’ll continue to push it’s privacy invading AI until you give up. You don’t actually own that game you bought, it’s a license and we can revoke it because fuck you.
I’m so fucking tired of being the weirdo because I stand by my morals and won’t let them get away with fucking me over.
- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 4 months ago:
Don’t misunderstand, LLM’s are fantastic for certain applications and it makes sense to use them. But seriously GTFO my email and search results. Generated speech? Ew. Generated videos? Nah. Ordering for me at a restaurant? Just kill me.

Yup, satire is lost on the dumb and LLMs have no intelligence.

Yup, these things are still garbage for >90% of all applications people are jamming them into. Breathed a sigh of relief when my company CEO said he doesn’t see us using AI for more than can center routing for at least the next several years.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 4 months ago:
I’ve got 20/10 vision and the difference is so negligible as to not really matter after 1080. Especially because all the smoothing and image effects new TVs have are so horrendously bad that they make me feel sick.
I still run an 8 year old LG TV that stopped getting updates 4 years ago and doesn’t even attempt to connect to the internet. It’s great because it just turns on and works.
