- Comment on High IQ men tend to be less conservative than their average peers, study finds 1 week ago:
God I hate the label ‘gifted’ so fucking much. Ever since I was a kid. All I can think when I hear that is “oh yeah? You think it’s such a gift, you try having my mind for a week”. The fucking depression and alienation and isolation of being neurodivergent is never mentioned or considered, just “oh you were a quiet kid and got As in school, you must have such a gift”.

Oh yeah piers Anthony introduced a young me to some real kinky ideas long before I otherwise would have had exposure to them. I don’t think any harm was done though.
- Comment on Why are we not getting stress relief games where we take our stresses out on normal people? 1 week ago:
But that’s the point, the only reason you would need to ‘cause chaos’ is because you’re willfully subjecting yourself to a shitty environment. That’s like getting yourself thrown in jail just because it would be super satisfying to break out. Just leave the bullshit in the outside world, don’t take it home with you and concoct weird revenge fantasies about it.

Someone said above that it’s all open source and if you self host your own server you can access all the premium features for free. That seems pretty reasonable.
- Comment on The Only Solution Capitalism Has Is to Sell Us More Useless Junk: Ad makers will never say the quiet part loud, but they increasingly know that we're unhappy and looking for solutions. 1 week ago:
Use an old laptop or minipc with an air remote, that’s what I do and it’s way better than any of the tv box alternatives. I’ve got an easy to control cursor, media buttons, and there’s a full keyboard on the back of the remote. No more messing with stupid on screen keyboards. Would never go back to regular ‘SmartTV’ apps or features.
- Comment on Which is it?. 2 weeks ago:
Idk man you’re right, cooked broccoli is still good even with the pubes but have you ever tried to eat a raw piece of broccoli by itself? I prefer raw veggies and the pubes are just intolerable to me personally. Even cooked I think the stalk is better but definitely when it’s raw I can’t stand the pubes.
- Comment on Which is it?. 2 weeks ago:
Ew I don’t understand pube eaters at all (with regards only to broccoli, I don’t always mind a nice bush). The broccoli florets or whatever are so dry and end up tasting bitter and just taking forever to eat. I only like the shaft but the shaft is probably better than cucumber in terms of a nice crispy veggie that you can just bite into and chew raw. Raw broccoli florets are inedible unless you have like a liter of ranch which kinda defeats the purpose.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
I always turn that off. Being used to a mouse I always turned my right stick sensitivity WAAYY up so I could aim quickly, but the aim assist would always throw off my muscle memory for how far/long to pull the stick. Then I tried gyro/touchpad aiming for shooters and couldn’t get the hang of it, I like playing with the deck resting on something, I can’t just hold it in the air the whole time I’m playing. Now I just play shooters on PC and everything else on steam deck.
- Comment on Let's take a moment to remember the time period when everyone had to adjust to using dual-joysticks on controllers. 2 weeks ago:
Back paddles like the steamdeck or steam controller has are a godsend for any game where you have to run, jump, and shoot at the same time. Or any other combination of actions. I don’t think I could go back to not having access to those. I don’t remap them for every game but the times I have its made those games so much better.
- Comment on Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization” 2 weeks ago:
That guy is just the coolest person ever. Every time I hear his name its some new fucking based shit. His music as The Flashbulb is my favorite music of all time. He has unbelievable range and creativity as an artist and was one of the first people to fight against music labels going after torrenters/downloaders. He uploaded all his own torrents to a private tracker. Just an awesome fucking person who obviously just wants the best for everyone.
- Comment on people with ADHD self-medicate with amphetamine, overly sensitive empaths self-medicate with alcohol, what does people with OCD self-medicate with? 3 weeks ago:
I disagree that having a tripsitter present makes it not self-medication. If the substance isn’t being prescribed or administered by the third party, and they aren’t medical professionals then it’s still self-administered even if there’s a third party there. So then it becomes a question of intent. Why are they taking it? If it’s because it helps or treats some aspect of themselves that they are unhappy with then it’s medication. I’m genuinely curious why you’d think hallucinogens wouldn’t fit into that category, or if it’s just the presence of a trip sitter that you think negates the medicinal aspect.
- Comment on people with ADHD self-medicate with amphetamine, overly sensitive empaths self-medicate with alcohol, what does people with OCD self-medicate with? 3 weeks ago:
Amphetamine is speed, it’s not the same as meth and is prescribed alot for ADHD(or other similar chemicals). Meth actually can be prescribed for ADHD but isnt usually. Lots of undiagnosed people with ADHD self medicate with all kinds of stimulants, amphetamine, dexamphetamine, methylphenidate… Idk why you think they wouldn’t, these pills are widely available and for people without a prescription they offer the relief they need so badly so of course they’re gonna self medicate with them. I’ve known people who self medicated with caffeine pills or energy drinks if they didn’t have an alternative. I’d bet a lot of people who end up addicted to meth started out because it helped their neurodivergence.
- Comment on Games you really want to play, but can't or won't? 3 weeks ago:
Just get it from an alternative source and play it locally. That’s more fun anyway and far too few games still have split screen coop.
- Comment on If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat 3 weeks ago:
I mean women’s meat would probably just be better. There’s a reason we don’t eat bulls or roosters generally. But yeah there’s probably a lot of people who would prefer it for stupid reasons.

- Comment on If Valve creates an "entry point" for living room PCs, the console-beating Steam Machines will follow, argues Baldur's Gate 3's publishing director 3 months ago:
Whats a full setup in this context? A mouse and keyboard? You could always hook a pc up to a tv so thats not a factor… dont get me wrong if this is what it takes to get you to embrace pc gaming thats great, it just feels like before now if there were any barriers to it they largely existed only in your head. Hooking a pc up to a tv and using a $20 air remote from amazon and a ps4 controller(or even just the touchpad on the ps4 controller) to control the mouse was always possible.
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 3 months ago:
I mean as long as you knew the word age you’d probably pronounce it in a more stilted way, but similar to british people. Gare - age. American english is just weird because Gare becomes Gurr and age becomes odge.

Theres literally an option in the linux mint installer to just wipe the drive and install, and it creates all partitions for you, if you dont understand what a partition is. You literally dont have to do anything except click the bubble and choose next.

- Comment on #environmentalist 4 months ago:
If you want like a mixed drink or a pop out of a glass while lying on the couch or in bed a straw is useful too, thats the only time i ever use them. My fiance likes a ton of ice in everything she drinks so she uses our metal straws for everything. I still prefer drinking out a can or a bottle with a screw on cap for most things when im lying down.
- Comment on engagement 4 months ago:
Unless something is REALLY funny or unexpected, i personally don’t really laugh anyway. Especially with a meme or online post, my brain just kinda goes ‘ah thats funny’. This can happen just as easily after a joke has been explained, or if i have to look something up for context. Once i have the context my brain still goes ‘ah thats funny’ and now ive stimulated my curiousity AND my humor.
