- Comment on Once you are over 30 we no longer want to go out - we want to be left alone, with a beer/wine, a blanket, tv, and tacos… 1 day ago:
Let’s go to the nightclub like when we were younger.
End up everyone looking at you funny because you’re the only person over 22.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 1 day ago:
I sometimes wonder what I casually believe because I read it while scrolling for something interesting. I don’t have the time or inclination to fact check every single detail I come across.
- Comment on Cups are bowls that sometimes have a handle 1 day ago:
This whole thread is twisting my melon. Im gonna be wondering whether or not this object counts as a cup all day now.
- Comment on Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage? 2 days ago:
Obligatory parks and recreation
Skip a minute into it though for some reason the clip starts way sooner than it needs to.
- Comment on Would alcohol be as popular if it weren't a beverage? 2 days ago:
Yeah he said “-if- it wasn’t a beverage” its just a hypothetical
- Comment on Why do low framerates *feel* so much worse on modern video games? 2 days ago:
The display being at a higher resolution doesnt help either. Running retro games on my fancy flatscreen hi-def massive TV makes them look and feel so much worse than on the smaller fuzzy CRT screens of the time.
I can’t stand modern games with lower frame rates. I had to give up on Avowed and a few other late titles on the series S because it makes me feel sick when turning the camera. I assume most of the later titles on xbox will be doing this as theyre starting to push what the systems are capable of and the series S can’t really cope as well.
- Comment on What are you all looking forward to at Summer Games Fest? 2 days ago:
Fable 4 if it’s getting a mention. It’s the only game I’m actually excited for any more.
The only games I truly enjoyed these days have been unexpected indie hits that are impossible to predict, you don’t know theyre coming or good until they happen.
I don’t know why Fable is immune to my thickening shield of apathy, but basically every other game I see I just think “yeah it looks pretty but I’m pretty sure I played it 20 times before”
- Comment on Is this genocide denial? 3 days ago:
How could the dictionary be biased? Genuine question i promise im not piling on in bad faith or anything
- Comment on Denying uniqueness is both a compliment and an insult. 3 days ago:
Well played
- Comment on Denying uniqueness is both a compliment and an insult. 3 days ago:
I think it doesnt matter so much where the line is, because people who want to be offended by that kind of thing will find something to be offended about.
I don’t see anything wrong with those examples in that article. I see it as like a giant game of “Guess Who” when I’m trying to talk about a specific member of the group to someone who doesnt know who’s who. Nothing wrong with saying Mitch is “the Asian classmate” if he’s the only one.
I’ve seen people desperately trying not to say “the black guy” when there’s only one black guy and they’re trying to narrow it down. “He’s sort of tall and has glasses and a beard but not like a full beard and I think he was wearing a tie and” its interminable.
Using “othering” aggressively, implying that the differences matter, is a problem. Using it as an identifiable feature is only a problem to PC Principal.
- Comment on The movie cars is crazy 5 days ago:
Also the message didn’t sit right with me unless I missed a bit. It quite clearly draws parallels between Beekind and slavery/prejudices, and shows the hero overcoming the system and liberating the bees.
Then at the end “actually slavery good lol”
- Comment on Are some people too stupid to feel depressed? 5 days ago:
I don’t think so, but maybe in the extremes. There’s some people with such low IQ they have difficulty following cooking instructions on a microwave meal. It might be possible to have such limited capacity that they’re immune to depression.
- Comment on Musk blasts Trump mega-bill, days after farewell 6 days ago:
I was wondering how long it would take for one of them to start on the other.
Slapfight soon?
- Comment on My mom tells me I should cut dad off for cheating on her, am I a bad person for not wanting to do so? 6 days ago:
Yeah i can see wanting to do it of your own volition, my brother went the same way, but having one parent ask that of you is something else.
- Comment on Can a person use AI or whatever and get rid of their name and history off the net? And can it create a new ident with a bunch of history pictures and so forth? 1 week ago:
The Internet doesnt remember that one very spicy video you found
- Comment on Is their any evolutionary benefit to the sneezing reflex when looking at a bright light source, or is it just an evolutionary glitch with no purpose? 1 week ago:
Maybe it’s a thing that only certain people do, like rolling your tongue. Looking at a bright light doesnt make me sneeze, and until just now I thought it was just an old wives tale, like remedies for curing hiccups. Doesn’t work but widely believed.
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 1 week ago:
Its secure enough for the average person. If your friend was a big deal, super rich or powerful and a massive target it would be easy enough to figure out.
I doubt it would be worthwhile trying to crack that particular code for the average joe.
- Comment on Are their any romance movies where there is a male protagonist who is a part of the manosphere? 1 week ago:
Does Superbad count?
Its in no way a romance, but the entire adventure is fuelled by the quest to get laid.
- Comment on Ironically, people making fun of the "Gnu/Linux" copypasta is probably one of the main ways people know what Gnu is 1 week ago:
Is the big joke that it actually is Unix?
- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 1 week ago:
I want to live in the timeline where a super-scientist gets sick of the attack helicopter meme and makes “attack helicopter reassignment surgery” possible and available.
- Comment on Microsoft Shifts Xbox Gaming Handheld Ambitions to Third-Party Windows Handhelds, Postpones 2027 Launch Plans 1 week ago:
Maybe even get Xbox gamepass on it.
Im honestly not sure why they’re making a handheld Xbox after their “everything is an xbox” push. Why have just an Xbox when you can get anything else PLUS an Xbox for likely cheaper?

And then starve em. Tease em. Sing off key.

Wow mister that’s a gotta threes
- Comment on I look forward to the day AI becomes sentient and takes over. It can't be dumber than the people currently in charge. If it starts destroying everything I'm comforted by the fact we dont share genes. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah but 50 years ago they couldn’t run a toaster
- Comment on If not intentially a minority and I get into a fight and I did not know they were gay, palestinian, jewish, or whatever. Can I still be charged with a hate crime? Or does one have to know first? 2 weeks ago:
You may still be depending on how the story is spun, but you shouldn’t be. Hate crimes are motivated by the prejudice

My sweat is just seasoning.
- Comment on Catchiest video game song? 2 weeks ago:
My suggestion was Red Alert too, but from 3.
- Comment on Why old games never die (but new ones do) 2 weeks ago:
Its the same with music and films. They were so much better in the past and here’s the examples. Not included in the examples are the thousands of songs and bands that didn’t stand the test of time.
