- Comment on 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed 2 days ago:
2012 was pretty much peak imo. Cant really think of anything after that thats worth saving. Guess the mayans were kinda right after all. Smartphones had come out and evolved into something decent but weren’t terrible yet, facebook was still kinda useful and not a propaganda cesspit, google would give you useful results, reddit was full of unique and interesting information. Tv and movies were really hitting their stride with some of the most bou dary pushing original tv series and movies hadn’t all devolved to remakes and superhero rehashes, global warming was bad but people seemed concerned about it and it wasnt past the point of no return yet, youtube didnt shove a million ads down your face. Netflix was streaming content but didnt have any competitors buying up rights yet, spotify was fairly new and revolutionary still, forums still existed for all sorts of niche interests, ads werent completely pervasive everywhere, google wasn’t an evil monopoly sucking up everyones data, memes were still fresh and original, gaming pretty much hit its pinnacle of graphical fidelity relative to performance costs, you could order awesome drugs off the internet unregulated (not even just the dark web, research chemicals were fucking great and hadnt started to be banned yet). Idk i could go on and on but literally everything felt like it got worse from there. I didnt even touch on productivity or the economy but it still felt like a bit of a boom in the wake of the rebound from 2008. If im missing anything good that happened post 2012 please let me know.
- Comment on Why some games on Linux, SteamOS / Steam Deck have broken videos and what you can do 2 weeks ago:
Also i think there may have been a couple games ive tried where proton-GE didnt automatically fix this. In that case, use winetricks and install the full video codec package. A combination of those two things have solved this issue with every game ive tried.
- Comment on A dedicated section in my Steam library 2 weeks ago:
I played quite a bit on the steamdeck with no issues at all. Actually i think i maybe had to upgrade to the latest proton-ge and/or install the video codecs package in winetricks (think i did both at the same time so not sure what fixed it) when i first installed it, but once it was running it worked perfectly fine for the 15 hours or so that ive plqyed so far.

I assume you mean it shouldnt be done with deception? Which yeah i agree with and wasnt suggested in the original post. His sign just says put birth control in meth, it doesnt say hide it. Also do you understand that birth control is temporary and is not the same as sterilization?
- Comment on Iron 3 weeks ago:
This is not eugenics and wouldn’t be permanent. People shouldn’t be having unplanned pregnancies while addicted to hard drugs. If you cant stop using meth long enough to conceive then how are you gonna stop uaing meth during the pregnancy? Or once the baby is born? I have no problem with drug use and think it should be legalized but i think this would be a good concession to make if it were legalized. If you wanna have a baby just stop using meth. Otherwise go nuts.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, except in this instance:
- Comment on Piss Post 4 weeks ago:
Is that an autistic thing? That makes sense. I always try to tune the piss stream with a combination of position in the center of the bowl and stream strength. Both affect the sound and i can dial ut in or adjust it to be pretty pleasing sounding (to myself). Its also extremely satisfying to be in the nuddle of a nicesl strong sounding stream and let out a nice percussive accentuating fart. If its a long one i can eve dial it in to harmonize with the piss stream sometimes.

Oh hell yeah, we should bring this back. Give me a nice little cortage, some space to grow weed and mushrooms, and a nice big forest to run around in consequence free and ill totally be your Radagast the brown running around the woods. They say if you can catch a glimpse of me, however fleeting, its good luck for your visitors.
- Comment on Where are all the successful "red cities"? 4 weeks ago:
To people from small towns, everyone in a city is ‘wealthy’, they must be to afford the insane cost of living right? But thats part of the problem. They don’t realize the people spending $2500 a month on rent are spending 80% of their paycheck, or that they can’t build any savings or eger hope to own a house or even a car because of it. They make no distinction between the actual rich people who live in cities and everyone else, and the state of America right now IS them fighting back against the ‘rich’. Until these people understand the orders of magnitude the people actually fucking us are over the rest of us i don’t know what can be done. To them anyone with a college degree is a wealthy elite.

Yeah they wouldnt ever do anything aggressive, theyll hust take all your money and laugh as you pick out a cardboard box because its in their rational self interest.

You could probably do it with a vape from the gas station… theyre basically just mini fog machines with nicotine added.

Well that just doesnt make sense, theres only been a couple times ive accidentally put metal in a microwave, but i knew it immediately when i did. I wonder if theyve made changes to the way they function.
- Comment on Microsoft has never been good at running game studios, which is a problem when it owns them all 1 month ago:
I mean sure but just like with movies, the rights dont change hands very often, even if they’re not being actively used or the rights holder goes out of business. This means a ton of promising franchises either suffer by getting terrible sequels or no sequels at all.

Lmao what makes you think i didnt understand the joke? We’re talking about units of measurement. And yeah i dont need an excuse to say America Bad. It is bro, have you been paying attention?
- Comment on xkcd #3106: Farads 2 months ago:
Thats literally exactly what it is. They aren’t derived from the metric system like all units in the system, theyre a specialized edge case where a conversion was specifically written in because america sucks. There are no other conversions in the metric system, units are derived from constants based on a set of specific rules that the pound and yard do not adhere to.

I mean other humans already do this. Satellites are staring at you 24/7, even when youre inside they can theoretically track you with infrared/disruptions to the wifi signal or other epectromagnetic signals, or even using sound waves. I doubt they have the processing power yet to watch everyone all the time but its a safe bet that there are certain humans under constant surveillance by somebody.

Crazy how often i see a comment like this on lemmy. Just reinforces that everyone who made reddit what it was has jumped ship.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 2 months ago:
What point are you trying to make? You say you’re “all for calling this kind of fuckery out” but then you’re criticizing people for calling it out? And who cares what other EULAs might say? The point is that the license agreement for this game and others owned by this company didn’t say this shit before, and now they do. The company is actively making their user agreement more hostile to the users which is what people are pissed about.

Im almost positive they did, i had one in my core 2 quadro machine iirc, but it was 7200rpm not 5400.
