Microsoft has the perfect solution. They don’t know what problem the solution solves, but they’re gonna shoehorn it into everything they can think of until they find one.

My wife used to wear a D.A.R.E. sweatshirt in college, we were always high as well. I don’t think anyone sports and dare merch unironically.
- Comment on Silicon Valley is buzzing about this new idea: AI compute as compensation 3 days ago:
Construction companies should pay bricklayers in bricks and mortar
Uber should pay drivers in gas
Restaurants should pay chefs in raw ingredients
This is a radical idea, but maybe employers should be responsible for providing the supplies and tools their employees need to do their jobs? And the employees can just get money in return for their labor?
- Comment on Typical US worker has less than $1,000 saved for retirement, report finds 3 days ago:
According to the article, this report factors in people who have a 401(k) or other retirement account. So the number is probably a lot lower if those with no retirement accounts get counted as a $0 data point.

At least, it’s not just someone watching a YouTube video of someone else playing
I would much rather pay nothing to watch a human being play a video game than purchase a video game just to watch the game play itself. I say this as someone who has zero interest in twitch, let’s play, etc.
Just save your money and pirate a fucking a movie at that point.
- Comment on Dynamic pricing could be coming to your local supermarket 1 week ago:
I don’t know what you’re talking about, I’m obviously not gonna steal anything. Sure, accidents happen from time to time. The supermarket decided to replace their cashiers with self checkout operated by random non-employees. If I happen to ring up filet mignon as a Roma tomato, I think that’s just the inevitable result of outsourcing your labor to untrained civilians with no incentive to accurately do the job .
- Comment on It would be so interesting if humans didn't have a gender assigned at birth and could choose who they want to be. 1 week ago:
That’s a complete separate discussion. We’re talking about gender dysphoria, not schizophrenia. I hope you understand why people assume you’re a troll, because what is even the point of bringing that up in this context?
- Comment on It would be so interesting if humans didn't have a gender assigned at birth and could choose who they want to be. 1 week ago:
It’s just that the pressure to make the “correct” choice is fucking crazy.
I feel pressured to only ever present as a cisgendered heterosexual person regardless of whether that’s correct or not. The pressure is for LGBTQ+ people to simply disappear from public society. Correct has nothing to do with it.

“Wrong” is probably not the best term for it. People’s understanding of their own identity can evolve over time, but their own assessment of their sense of self will always be the most accurate barometer to go by. Yes, some people detransition, but as others have stated they’re a small minority and ultimately that’s their decision to make whether it’s due to a change in how they identify or pressure from external forces.
But to the original commenter’s point, we should just allow people to be the masters of their own identity and meet them where they are at any given point. If that were the case, the idea of getting it “wrong” wouldn’t be a big deal at all, they could simply give us an update and the world keeps turning.
- Comment on The only difference between a monster and a decent human being is the privilege of a support network. 2 weeks ago:
I think the point they were making is that a decent support system is not the determining factor as your post suggests.
Even your counterarguments rest on the assumption that this is true. You suggest that if it’s not a support system they just be “inherently” good or evil, completely ignoring the more likely possibility that there are countless other variables that could factor into what kind of person someone is.

“Hey, buddy. Just so you know, you’re autistic.”
“What? Hey, fuck you. That was uncalled for.”
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 2 weeks ago:
According the Wikipedia page he did it as a favor to the creators. They do not have their own Wikipedia page so I have no idea how they know him. The film was pretty much universally hated for virtually every aspect.
Sir Billi received extremely negative reviews from critics and audiences. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds an approval rating of 0%, based on eight reviews, with an average rating of 2.3/10. On Metacritic, the film has a weighted average score of 17 out of 100, based on 4 critics, indicating “overwhelming dislike”.

- Comment on Twitch: "Hey, come back! This commercial break can't play while you're away." 2 weeks ago:
Reminder that Sony has patented technology to force viewers into saying a certain phrase in order to continue past an advertisement. Sure, it sounds dystopian, but just look at how happy the little consumer looks in their patent image!
- Comment on Is creatine safe? 2 weeks ago:
Was it an actual doctor at the blood donation place? Usually it’s just a phlebotomist or nurse. They typically don’t need a doctor just to draw blood.
But yeah, if you’re taking way more than needed it can be damaging but at or below the normal dosage should be fine.
- Comment on ConcernedApe wins my funny bit of the year award for making Clint a marriage candidate in Stardew Valley's 1.7 update 2 weeks ago:
Abigail is heavily implied to be the wizard and Caroline’s illegitimate lovechild. Caroline would absolutely cuck Pierre again with the farmer and he’d deserve it for being such an annoying dingus.

Sorry, you’re practicing Islam which is a clear violation of our Christian citizens’ constitutionally protected freedom from other religions. Oh hey, tell your Jewish neighbors not to go too far.
- Comment on Trans people in Kansas are being ordered to surrender their drivers licenses 2 weeks ago:
Don’t have a friend who can drive you to the DMV? Can’t afford to pay for a ride? Don’t live close to a bus stop? Please drive to the nearest DMV office where you will be arrested for operating a motor vehicle with a license that we invalidated just hours ago. Sorry for the inconvenience that we put a lot of effort into inflicting on you.

- Comment on Valve accused of "letting children and adults alike illegally gamble" via loot boxes in New York state lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
Good, I think it’s absolutely insane that children have been able to gamble real world money in video games for so long. Honestly surprised it’s just valve though. Plenty of other companies using a loot box system out there.
- Comment on Valve accused of "letting children and adults alike illegally gamble" via loot boxes in New York state lawsuit 2 weeks ago:
Children are still not allowed to gamble anywhere, and the specific gambling laws vary by state.

A lot of religious folks “don’t believe in divorce.” So even if the relationship isn’t abusive, they may be incompatible as a couple but just stick with it.
- Comment on Never Trump Republicans are still issuing dire warnings. Is anyone listening? 2 weeks ago:
Trump is the republican party now whether you like it or not. Never Trump Republican is an oxymoron. If you’re a never Trump “republican” you really need to just switch parties at this point, otherwise you’re just a drop of dirty water in an ocean of piss.
