I think it’s the fact that Trump acts and surrounds himself with homophobic people so the idea of him giving head to his enemy he’s openly complained about is hilarious to no end. That and the actual implications with Putin holding the photos over his head.

- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 4 days ago:
I think there are different seasons of life and different moods for wanting to listen to the world around. When I got into backpacking it becomes a pretty conscience decision when deciding to listen to a podcast or some music or go for 5 hours of silence. Live your life and go with the flow. If your tunes die, find a way to make a life lesson in some way or fashion that makes sense to you. Our ancestors were stuck with nothing but themselves and local community so I guess connect with your primal self.
- Comment on What personal dramas have you witnessed with/among your fellow players while gaming? 4 days ago:
Not exactly drama but… In 2020, Verizon fucked up and kept me out of my new phone and I spent literally 20 hours on customer support (on my gf’s phone) and going to stores. They ended up throwing me a bone and I had a $300 Verizon store coupon. Free oculus quest #worthit?
Trying out the online community apps was intense. Upon popping into any Meta-ran space you would be flooded by children squeaking the most vile shit at each other. Occasionally there would be an older voice saying bad words to the children and laughing as they scream. What an awful place. But in other realms, there could be cool moments, too. Like an old Australian man moderating a conversation with a very international and diverse crowd around a campfire. Sure it’s cartoony and you can experience wide conversations on the web but it’s another thing to have proximity chat with stereoscopic vision. It feels like an actual “memory.” That was all terrifying and I have really touched the device in four years.

- Comment on Banana 3 weeks ago:
There are SO ✖️MANY bananas🍌, but most people have only eaten the ☕️🎩Cavendish. Awhile back, I got a box of assorted 🙋🏻♂️🙆🏽♂️💁🏿♂️bananas🍌 from a 🧑🌾🐓🐷farm that specializes🚜 in growing unusual fruit. I ate about twenty🧑🌾😮💨 pounds of 🍌bananas in three weeks. So many fucking 🤾🏼♂️🍌🅱️nanners spread across my entire kitchen countertop for weeks, ripening in stages.🧑🏻🌾🧑🏽🌾🧑🏾🌾🧑🏿🌾
My life has been a lie😢. Yours too.🪞 🇺🇸We’ve all been hoodwinked. 💇♀️😉We are getting fucked🍆🍌, and 🙅♂️not in the good way🙅♀️, because 🤢Cavendish is a straight up⬆️🗑️ garbage💩 fruit. There are tiny tart toothsome 🇹🇭Thai 🍌bananas, chunky Cuban🎅🏻🚬🍌, alluring Apple 🍎🍌, beauteous burro💋💄🫏🍌, pleasurably plump Pisang 🥺, orally🥹 outstanding orinoco🍌, mouth👄watering💦 Mysore😫🍌, and the gustatorily🫃🍌 magnificent Gros 🤮 Michel, the OG mass production 🅱️naner, which was replaced by 🤢Cavendish in a mycological midlife🧗🏻🚵🏻🤹♂️ crisis🚑 (I’m drunk and if I was a 🦕dinosaur🦖, I’d be a tiny tenacious 🐙thesaurus 📚tenuisi). Plus more. So 🍌many 🍌more. Fucking. Bananas.🏊♀️🏊♂️🏊🍌
They all taste👅 like 🍌bananas, but each is a 👼little
✝️☪️✡️🕉️🔯🕎different, some more than others, but they all had more taste👅 that those 🤢Cavendish🇬🇧💂♂️ fuckers! So get 🍌ucked Chiquita, Dole, and Del🧑🏽🍼 Monte. My banana🍌 bread🍞 sucks 🤤 because of y’all.🔚
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 month ago:
Yes, you can. You can share an album and collaboratively each add to it or you can share the entire library and take photos directly out of theirs and add to a new album. So I believe you can accomplish what you want. Just tested it with my wife and I’s accounts.
- Comment on Immich mobile app sync V2 1 month ago:
Immich is great. The iPhone app is not trustworthy with syncing photos and always freezes. It will get there eventually, if you have the patience for crashes on the iOS app. In fact, for the last week the app just hangs on open, which usually means I need to re-install the app and all that. I have a large library of over 60k photos/videos and an older phone, which doesn’t help. Despite these issues, it’s still great. Every other feature works flawlessly. I haven’t tried this new update but I am hopeful and glad they are pushing forward with cleaning up syncing!
- Comment on Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name? 1 month ago:
If you get the chance, don’t be afraid to ask. People are usually pretty clear on what they will respond to, if asked. If the accent or name is too hard, you can work with them on a compromise nickname that’s easier for you and that they agree to.

Have fun picking through the many options, haha. I just figured out Ghost (open source blogging platform) but it can easily be edited with static pages. It is basic but I am okay with the functionalities and ease of use

Do you think “alright kids, meeting is officially over. Go home or get call your parents. If anyone wants to stay we will be hanging out and teaching server stuff at ____ ‘s house for an hour or two.” Gets around this?
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 2 months ago:
There is also a 17k blackmagic coming out! The high resolution sensors they use aren’t a standard RGB pixel layout though so it’s not a great direct comparison. Like you said though, there’s no pipeline or good workflow for 8k in the slightest. Will take years if the industry decides to push for it
- Comment on Sheepish 2 months ago:
Sheep do tend to be wary and to run away when approached by someone. Seems pretty sensical to me
- Comment on Big Surprise—Nobody Wants 8K TVs 2 months ago:
I am a filmmaker and have shot in 6k+ resolution since 2018. The extra pixels are great for the filmmaking side. Pixel binning when stepping down resolutions allows for better noise, color reproduction, sharpened details, and great for re-framing/cropping. 99% of my clients want their stuff in 1080p still! I barely even feel the urge to jump up to 4k unless the quality of the project somehow justifies it. Images have gotten to a good place. Detail won’t provide much more for human enjoyment. I hope they continue to focus on dynamic range, HDR, color accuracy, motion clarity, efficiency, etc. I won’t say no when we step up to 8k as an industry but computing as a whole is not close yet.

- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 2 months ago:
I live near an AI Taco Bell. It works pretty damn well and is a lot easier to understand. There is still a cashier, they just don’t have to be on the mic the whole time. Although, the t-bell near me also seems to almost entirely ESL inside. It’s quite a bizarre experience end-to-end but they will certainly not back down. I’m not saying I support it but it’s certainly one of the less evil AI implementations?

- Comment on Incident 2 months ago:
I also think it’s dystopian but it is quite helpful information to know when they were fed and/or napped. If you pick up your child and they are unusually hungry or tired, etc it can be helpful. I doubt the caretakers have time to talk to each parent or they change shifts. Paper forms are popular at less fancy places
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Telling a 22 year old he can’t object and the sentiment of “fine, I’ll find girls for you” comes across to ME as harsh and demeaning. If my father or a fellow adult texted me like that, I would feel demeaned and that the language was a bit harsh and could be softened. Thanks for your opinion!
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
His communication is harsh and demeaning towards you but he seems to be trying to help and care for you. All he knows is the life he has lived, sometimes people have a hard time imagining what you’ve gone through. Do what you want! I wouldn’t be too embarrassed. Parents and loved ones have helped each other out throughout all of time. Like others have said, just be polite and close the relationship if it’s a bad match!

- Comment on YSK about Changing your Profile Picture to Clippy 3 months ago:
This reminds me of old “solidarity” profile picture filters that came out after the Arab Spring and later for France. Solidarity was cool but 2 clicks and a picture that doesn’t amount in any significant action or real participation and is VERY ignorable by people above the line. News media will easily spin it into whatever narrative they want as well
