⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨China turns on giant neutrino detector that took a decade to build⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
That’s exciting!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week?⁩ ⁨⁨18⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:
I’m playing Morimens. It’s a gacha, but I love the dark, supernatural theme and atmosphere. The music is great, too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do narcissists have such fragile egos?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Of course, not playing can also be something they view as hostile.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I think I 'm witnessing the beginning of a wasp nest in the wall of my living room?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
When it starts getting cool out, sometimes one will come inside and find a warm place to hole up for the winter.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Once you’re 30, as long as the other person is in your general age group or older, and the relationship works for both of you, your specific ages don’t matter.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve been wanting to play that game for so long! It looks so good, outside the porn aspect.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenMower: Let's upgrade cheap off-the-shelf robotic mowers to modern, smart RTK GPS based lawn mowing robots!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I was just thinking, do these have some technology that they use to avoid running over animals? Based on your comment, it sounds like they don’t.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is This Social Media?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I agree.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
That sounds fair.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mRNA vaccines for HIV trigger strong immune response in people⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
I don’t think that and I didn’t say that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
It’s still around. Last time I used it, it only required identity verification for amounts over $100 or so. That was a few years ago. I didn’t hear that they’d changed. That’s too bad.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A new diamond- based magnetic field sensor could be used to better find tumours through tracing magnetic fluid injected in the body.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Very interesting!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK Official Calls for Age Verification on VPNs to Prevent Porn Loophole⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
It was slow when I first tried it, decades ago, but I actually can’t tell any difference in speed these days. I use it for everything now.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tweet Dreams⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
This is me. Also, don’t want to mess up the raccoons’ endocrine systems.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain'⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Bitpay allows companies to accept crypto payments and receive it as real currency automatically.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mRNA vaccines for HIV trigger strong immune response in people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
People wonder about the long range effects of things because we can’t know them until a long time has passed. Like when the internet first became available in homes, we all had no idea that it would change society and even human psychology in the ways that it has. Do you never read about something that’s fairly new and think, “I wonder how that’s going to play out”? There’s not currently any answer as to what new information will be revealed or what new understanding will be gained over decades to come. Only time will show us that.

Poor salmon.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Game prices should have increased with every new generation, former PlayStation US boss says⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
The more expensive Sega Genesis games were $90.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
My neighbor makes chainsaw bears out in his driveway. They’re visible from the road, so I can see them when I drive by. They’re nice bears. I enjoy seeing what he’s working on. But if he came out one day and told me I owed him money for looking at his bears, I’d think he was crazy.

They aren’t my bears, and the decision to craft them in an area open to public view was his own.

That’s what other people’s websites are like, to me.

You obviously see things differently. I’m sure the people whose websites you visit appreciate that. I mean that sincerely.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mRNA vaccines for HIV trigger strong immune response in people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
No, it isn’t. It was a casual statement of curiosity about the future.

There are always things we don’t know when newish discoveries go into common use that we learn over the first few decades of really widespread use.

It seems like you’re projecting a whole lot of meaning onto a casual comment when there was really not much there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How difficult would it be to live in a modern-day developed country without a smartphone?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
In the US, it’s not a requirement. I use my phone for nothing but occasionally making or receiving calls, taking photos, and messaging friends, but all of that could be done without it. I just use it because I have it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
That’s good to hear. I know it’s very popular, but I’ve been avoiding it for a long time because the fees were so high the last time I used it.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Blamed for Steam games ban, Mastercard encourages censorship during Riot Games VCT livestreams⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’ve seen many businesses that do this, also.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As electric bills rise, evidence mounts that data centers share blame. States feel pressure to act⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Where I used to live, the electric bill doubled after the city council voted to allow the electric company to charge customers for the cost of storm repairs. Nearly $400 a month for us. I knew people who lived there part time and were getting $200 bills for months when they weren’t living there and had no electrical usage. And people had been saying for years that the electric company wasn’t doing enough to prepare for storms.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US | Surveillance Company Flock Now Using AI to Report Us to Police if it Thinks Our Movement Patterns Are “Suspicious”⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Finally, I feel like my town’s obsession with keeping expenses low might be a good thing.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨mRNA vaccines for HIV trigger strong immune response in people⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Wondering something isn’t a question. It doesn’t have an answer. I think you took my comment to mean something it didn’t mean.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I’m arguing that the responsibility to pay a cost should fall on the person(s) who makes the decision to incur the cost.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
You can also use Freetube with tor/socks5 proxy, and every time you open it, you automatically get a new IP.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you worried about your child’s screentime? Get a landline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
Eating lunch at school meets a basic human need and doesn’t really have a downside, though. It seems like there’s increasing reason to believe that cellphones, social media, online classes, etc actually hurt young people’s psychological and social development. I can understand why some parents would be wary of feeding into that.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨To survive the AI age, the web needs a new business model⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
I feel equally surprised that you feel the way you do. I’ve never met anyone with your opinions before, and they seem very extreme. We’re living very different lives, I guess.
