Why tf does this guy’s clothing perfectly blend with his environment? It’s like he went out shopping with a picture of this building and went “I need something that’ll have this colour palette”.

Ah man, in my mind I was definitely thinking of some weird sci-fi experiment that has developers in jars with liquid…
- Comment on Spotify says its best developers haven't written a line of code since December, thanks to AI 2 days ago:
Reads as: we here at Spotify are a bunch of naive and gullible halfwits who have diluted themselves into being proud of it.

Wait, nobody in their marketing or pr departments told them this would make them look like massive whinebabies?

Nah.
- Comment on I don't actually read the news. I surmise the news based on memes that begin popping up for which I have no context. 5 days ago:
I oftentimes find myself being ahead of mainstream news on certain topics.
They’ll give a bite size explanation of said topic. When I already learned this from the day before.
I can’t say that the information differs a lot, it’s more that mainstream media gives a very brief and sometimes incomplete version of the story (time constraints).

- Comment on ‘Manfluencers’ are filming themselves trying to pick up women using smart glasses 1 week ago:
I don’t know what is more dispicable and sad, that there’s people who would watch this or that there’s people who make this kind of low brow, knuckle dragging sleezebag content.
- Comment on i mean 1 week ago:
Oh I’m not commenting on controllers or the games themselves. To me it’s all the stuff surrounding gaming the last x years: *game devs get more press for their drama than their games. (Usually some heinous “we treat our employees like shit”. thing if it isn’t a shitty take like Epic tends to push out as of late) *ai: both it’s implementation and it’s effect on hardware prices. *season passes, dlc,… this irks me still. Make a complete game already ffs. *early acces/pre-sale/… and the inevitable first month of patches trying to stop the ship from sinking. *people losing their shit over gender options or if the female character isn’t enough of a bimbo to their liking.
All that kinda stuff… kinda ruins it for me. People don’t enjoy games anymore it seems, it has become just another opinion rabbit hole for YouTube.

Still a better time than whatever nightmare gaming is nowadays.
- Comment on Too weird for the normal people, too normal for the weird people... 1 week ago:
Try to fit in with the normies: talk about soccer, suffer sexist jokes, suffer racist ideology,…
Until you can’t take it anymore.
The bomb bursts, you start over,…
Rinse and repeat.
Try to fit in with your weirdo’s: it’s also not 100%, but it sure beats the ever living shit out of that other thing.
The older you get the more you get comfortable and the less you’re inclined to get new people in your life (that’s what they say in general, I’m sure there’s exceptions).
Value the ones you got if they’re not toxic. As with everything, life’s too short and we’re only here once.
(Sorry if that’s dark, shitty day)
- Comment on YSK that Dark Chocolate is healthier than White Chocolate 1 week ago:
Isn’t this common knowledge?
Ok to be fair I live in Belgium. We know a thing or two about chocolate.
And shorn scrotums at the age of fourteen according to Dr Evil in Austin Powers but I digress.

“Your fixture won’t work with led for dimming”
confusion
nervous laughter
disbelief
“You’ll have to replace the driver”

head explodes
- Comment on lightbulbs 2 weeks ago:
Part of my job is selling lighting.
The following conversation takes place at least once a day without falter:
X: I’d like one light like this please (puts some form of light on the table)
ME: ok (goes through the script to make sure they know what they want/it’s compatible/…yaddayadda).
X: oh and it needs to be warm in colour.
ME: 2700k got it.
X: yes, but like warm right? Because it’s led.
(Variant: the rando looking for something small for his toilet. “Oh you know, something like 18000 lumens and 60000k”
You value your eyes at all?)

- Comment on If Bill Gates get involved in a scandal, is it now called a Billgate? 2 weeks ago:
Thing that’s starting to irk me is the bigger picture. To some degree we kinda present the “-gates” as the next thing in the media. Like as if you’re following a television series waiting for the next episode to drop. And that creates this feeling that it’s just a temporary thing that has no impact. Once it’s out of the news cycle it’s resolved and life goes on as usual.
I think we all know rationally speaking that with everything that’s going on, it’s quite the opposite. It’s not just Epstein/Trump/…-gate. It’s fucking “everything is connected and everything is fucked”-gate.

I’ve ditched Windows completely save a vm for that one piece of hardware that’s stubborn. (Once I have the money I’ll look elsewhere friggin line6 helix)
- Comment on Everything was indeed brown. 2 weeks ago:
It’s a random picture I found.
I mostly remember brown green velvety material with lots of oak. A sort of mocka colour like the picture.
After that during the 90’s I had the luxury of growing up with fancy black leather couches. ❤️
