- Comment on My apartment building gives me free water but I pay for electricity. What if I run the faucet nonstop and rig up a hydro turbine in my bathtub to generate my power from it? 1 day ago:

But water isn’t a human right, that’s the job of datacenters! You guys get nestle, meta is mine.
- Comment on Why does everyone here think they're autistic or ADHD? The memes all describe normal human foibles. 1 day ago:
It’s almost like the whole thing is a spectrum, where people that have it feel the same emotions as neurotypical people, but they feel them more intensely.
There’s also something to be said for admitting 5hat if your child is neurodivergent then you as a parent are probably neurodivergent

Think of it this way; 70% of the planet is water. Of that water only 2.5% is fresh water, 68% of that is held in glaciers. About 1% of the fresh water on earth is liquid.
That 1% is the absolute maximum quantity of what’s used for drinking, and the steps between ground/reservoir water and the tap in your home involve MASSIVE quantities of electricity and effort to make it so it won’t kill you.
What you’re suggesting doing is turning the tap on and sending that fresh drinkable water right back into the sewer to generate a miniscule amount of power, since the average tap pressure at 1 bar means you’ll be making sub 100W of power, hardly enough to power the big light in your kitchen if it’s got more than two incandescent bulbs or spotlights, let alone a kettle or a microwave.

I pay taxes. Once.
You pay your hospital, the doctor, the pharmacist, the nurse, the insurance company, the car parking for your stay, and your taxes.
Checkmate capitalists :p

Even Warframe will run on that puppy (with low settings and without all the particles, other than that they’ve got the whole efficiency thing down pat)
- Comment on TikTok allegedly monitoring users’ Grindr activity, digital rights group claims 2 weeks ago:
You know where you cand find out if a cafe or restaurant will be closed? A search provider with the words [cafe name] opening times. Shit mate, google maps has the opening times.
If you’re seeing recommendations for a place on tiktok, it’s already ultra touristic, and is in no way shape or form hidden.
And surely you’re going to find accurate and up to date unbiased information about these ‘dangerous neighbourhoods’ from tiktok, you’re surely not just going to be faced with a wall of thinly veiled racism on there at all.
You’d really let someone else do all your thinking for you, and then posting a video touting their opinions as facts.
- Comment on TikTok allegedly monitoring users’ Grindr activity, digital rights group claims 2 weeks ago:
Use before:yyyy/mm/dd and/or after:yyyy/mm/dd in the search box to specify date ranges, and search for results before 2020 to remove all the AI slop.
Much easier than giving away your data to a company known for spreading misinformation, pushing AI content and genuinely worsening social interactions online and in real life.

- Comment on Do we have No Man's Sky fans here? 3 weeks ago:
These days running into other players is far more common on the Expeditions fue to all the players having the same goal and quest pathing, but you still bump into real people the closer you are to the galactic center in the regular game modes.
In terms of the ‘boring samey planets’ when was the last time you played? Because with the current terrain generation, water effects, gas giant systems, fully submerged worlds and new fauna/flora generation I’ve yet to find any planets that were identical.

- Comment on Looking for games to watch Let's Plays of: Recommend me something! 4 weeks ago:
Highly recommend Voices of the Void A semi horror/base management game where you’re a lone Doctor of Astrophysics on a radio signal listening station in the Swiss Alps, tasked with cleaning up the trashed base, maintaining servers, the site transformers running so you have power to lock your doors, and collecting extraterrestrial signals. You may or may not be alone, if you can’t save the game, then it’s definitely more ‘may’ than ‘may not’.
Recently updated to v0.9 (unstable but functional) with a Christmas event active this month. Even as a game still in alpha it’s worth the pricetag, currently on itch.io under mrdrnose, believe there’s plans for it to end up on steam.
TearofGrace (TearofDisgrace on youtube) is a proper character of a guy, livestreams it at least once a week and recently put out a video of his exploits in v0.8

- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 months ago:
To be fair, the last multiplayer game I was massively into was Warframe, but haven’t been on that in years at this point (if No Mans Sky doesn’t count lol)
I’ll probably end up loading Bazzite just because gaming and general browsing online is all I use my rig for these days (I may branch into freecad at some point for the fun of it but we’ll burn that bridge when we get to it)
- Comment on YouTube is taking down videos on performing nonstandard Windows 11 installs 2 months ago:
Heard good things about Bazzite, how does it work out with .exe game files off the internet etc?
Ive got a boat load of games that aren’t on steam/are from GOG or itch and run as their own files instead of being run off a service
- Comment on Hundreds of Instagram accounts push graphic real-life violence to millions, CBS News finds 2 months ago:
After spending the past ten years or so being exposed to videos of Ukrainian, West Papuan, Hong Kong and Palestinian civilians being brutalized by their neighbouring countries, it certainly felt like a foregone conclusion that I was going to come across the video at some point.
It was one of the reasons why I left Reddit back in the day, their userbase’s obsession with posting, upvoting and even celebrating uncensored snuff shit (especially during the 'rona times when half the posts were people celebrating the deaths of antivaxxers and random members of the American public that’d fallen for the antivax propaganda.)
Even with the ‘this contains sensitive content’ filter being put on almost every insta post, one account straight up played it uncensored in the middle of a few memes, so now it lives alongside countless other fucked up things I’ve seen over the years of being online.
It’s almost like these social media companies know what they’re doing, and they’re doing it intentionally. For what purpose, I can’t begin to speculate on without either sounding like some kind of schizotypal tinfoiler, or diluting the real societal problems by failing to address the millions of issues that have compounded until we got here.

They don’t want to show both because that would show readers exactly when a couple thousand new accounts all start talking about one polarising topic to get everyone agreeing.
- Comment on Is there an increasing trend in the fear of germs/contamination (Mysophobia/Germophobia) ever since Covid-19, or is it just me? 3 months ago:
I don’t even think there was an increasing trend DURING C19
I didn’t live in a big town during the happenings, but would regularly see people openly coughing, touching their faces and touching absolutely everything they can.
I’m just amazed we didn’t wipe out more of the population
