• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Social Security payments predicted to be cut in 2032⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Even 15 years ago it was already predicted to run into the red by around 2030. I’m impressed it’s still true and not gotten worse.

  All of which has long been known in econometrics and modeling. Just throwing everything at any model doesn’t make it better, but often worse. There’s an art to modeling. A creativity in interpretation and selection required.

  It’s a shame portable ops always gets overlooked.

  Generative AI existed and was hallucinating?

  Try looking into anhedonia and talk to a therapist.

  Sometimes just taking small steps and forcing yourself a little bit every day, something starts to take hold.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do you need a launcher? (asking older gamers actually)⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I like the ease of use and services Steam provides. The cloud saves, the custom Notes are very useful for me, the library organization, some steam workshop stuff, the community hubs for games are fun shared content, the guides, the discussions, the reviews. All of it makes a nice experience. In general it’s also cheaper than console. Then they made Steam Deck which is possibly my fav console ever.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Most of the misery in the world is the direct result of too much money in too few unscrupulous hands. This is not only the cause of the vast majority of human suffering, but also of climate change, wh⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. We’re well aware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Picked up a copy of Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter for XB360⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The PS2 version was I think a totally different game. I liked the 2nd one a lot. Also played the PSP one which wasn’t too bad for the console.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it normal for mothers to constantly talk to their children about their experience (particulary the part about their pain and suffering) of their pregnancy and giving birth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Coming from a similar background, just know, you deserve your own security, including mentally. You did nothing wrong. You are enough. And most importantly, the good times don’t mean the bad abusive times are okay. Abuse can be physical, verbal, emotional, mental, and lots of blame, shame, and neglect can be abuse.

  Don’t let it turn into a bad habit where you constantly feel the need to cling to someone. The abuse and neglect and confusion can make relationships difficult, and may cause you to overthink them later in life and worry about things that harm your future relationships.

  Try to center yourself and meditate on how you feel, allow your thoughts time they need to process, and try to truly feel how your body feels.

  Wish you the best. Hang in there.

  I don’t understand all this meme censorship nowadays.

  Fucking get fucking over your fucking stupid fucking shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If God truly is ‘all-powerful’ and ‘omnipotent,’ then Jesus dying wasn’t the only way to ‘save us.’”⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, Elijah didn’t need to die and could be saved? Yet Jesus needed to die? Right.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you save someone's life and then you save her life again next year, how many lives did you save?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would ask The Fray. They seemed to know a lot about How To Save A Life.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I dunno⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ll never understand these approaches to learning. They require remembering the phrase, and then require remembering how the phrase translates to the rules you need to remember.

  I’ll just remember the rules in the first place. Less effort.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So now that it's that time of year again in the US, what are some tips and tricks for dealing with that one relative who goes on about the same bullshit for hours and won't shut the fuck up?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t.

  Just removing obligations, and even going no contact does wonders.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gaming Pet Peeves⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Abuse of quick time events. Some overrated games are horrible about it. I think it should never be used.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Me when Valve releases a phone⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’d be Steam Sight, or Steam Sight Glass.

  It fits the theme and is essentially a window to peer into steam pipes to assess how things are going. An easy view inside the system.

  Also called View Port, Sight Window, and I think Sight Flow?

  And Bethesda didn’t technically do it. They hired another studio.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Bottom half of wage earners pay zero effective federal income taxes. The top 10% cover like 90% of it.

  All I’m saying is “muh tax dollars” is the wrong argument for the vast majority of us.

  And remember, if they’re whacking you with the belt and you move in reaction and they miss and hit you elsewhere on your body, it’s somehow your fault.

  I dunno how I never fucking killed them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ah, progress.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I saw them pulling over tons of people last night on the way home. Ensuring they get their monthly income early, I guess. Or just a need for harassment.

  In one instance, it awkwardly caused the 70mph to slow to 30 in one lane. Super safe. So glad they are causing those traffic flow issues for … safety?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If it happened, would anybody even question it?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’d be so fucking easy to grab a photo of a spiritual Halloween sign and overlay it on the building. Half assed, not even photo shopped. Would still be better than this slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lgbtq are the victims though 🤪⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My non-gay parents used to beat me with a belt. It was hung openly to remind me. They bragged about it to people.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Some of us used to care and the endless exhaustion is too much. I simply am a person trying to exist, and I only continue to shrink how much bullshit I consume more and more and more since it infects everything.

  Not wanting to see horrible shit constantly doesnt equate to not caring.

  Get fucked.
