Yeah people are weird about it.
- Comment on I'm not a doctor, nor have I played one on TV. 1 day ago:
It’s a real thing for some specialized doctors apparently
- Comment on Did we win? 1 day ago:
I mean it’s been around the longest and has the most subscribers. Most people only look at that, and I feel like arbitrarily splitting communities is actively harmful to the fediverse. Competing communities confuse and drive away new users.

- Comment on Hermetically sealed, for your health! 1 day ago:
That means the average adult male could have about ~24fl oz/0.74L of acetone and only die half the time
Just dilute it a bit and you got yourself a new drink

Well they’ve been posting fake videos of him. So either he’s dead or he’s in a bunker/injured and they just want everything to look fine.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 4 days ago:
It is when it’s used by corporations for profit, IMO. Not for individual private enjoyment.
- Comment on Nvidia Announces DLSS 5, and it adds... An AI slop filter over your game 4 days ago:
Oh yeah? Well vegatables are both in pig troughs and on dinner plates. Why’s one slop and not the other? They were grown with the same process!
Because one is shitty and the other isn’t.

They probably drink water too!

That all looks pretty bannable shitty behavior to me.

Huh, an actually good brain-computer interfaces.

Oh boy misogyny and making fun of trans people. Ha ha.
- Comment on Why conservative men repeatedly crash Grindr 6 days ago:
But are you?
Who’s the butt of the joke here?
“Conservative women are so ugly their husbands cheat on them with guys” - that’s the joke. That’s the whole joke.
- Comment on Why conservative men repeatedly crash Grindr 6 days ago:
Yeah this ain’t it
- Comment on They making fun of you yankee 1 week ago:
Bombing kids and having them learn a language are identical? Really?
- Comment on Put the shoes on 1 week ago:
No, yes.
Any further questions?
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 1 week ago:
Outer Wilds
Do you want an open-world space puzzler where nothing is stopping you from beating the whole game in 20 minutes except the fact that you don’t have the knowledge needed to do it? No unlocks, progression is all based on learning new info. 20+ hours of exploring a miniature solar system to find an extremely satisfying end where you get everything to align.
Pick it up and don’t look anything up.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 2 weeks ago:
I once didn’t eat for 14 days. Honestly it wasn’t that bad.
Disclaimer: I was/am obese and had fat for it. And took some salts/vitamins. But no calories. I don’t recommend it. Such behavior can easily cause/worsen eating disorders. Seek medical advice.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 2 weeks ago:
Yeah all that’s right but you’re overlooking the fact that “just stop” almost never works. People can know this, rationally. But they still fall into addiction. It takes a more complicated approach than “just stop” most of the time.
- Comment on there is a special place in hell for these scientists 2 weeks ago:
I’m no scientist but I’m pretty sure we know enough to say there’s no consciousness at this level. Consciousness as we know it is pretty fragile.
There may be a point if this is scaled up that could be a concern…
- Comment on Motorola GrapheneOS devices will be bootloader unlockable/relockable 2 weeks ago:
Well yeah. I doubt the GrapheneOS team would allow anything less.
- Comment on Be a hero 2 weeks ago:
It’s a stupid phrase that only works here by chance
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 2 weeks ago:
It’s been a decade since Trump won the presidency and we’re still on the same path

- Blackout
Eh? What if there’s a gas supply issue? Can’t fuel up. I’ve experienced this after a natural disaster disrupted gas deliveries. Lines for blocks. Days to wait.
- Comment on I Bought a Linux Phone in 2026 2 weeks ago:
I have a OnePlus Nord N10 5G I picked up to play with Ubuntu Touch.
Now that VoLTE works I can actually make and receive calls which makes it nearly usable.
I wish RCS could work but that may be out of their hands. Group texts (MMS) don’t work either unfortunately.
It’s close to usable but still not ready for me personally.
I did contribute to Ubuntu Touch though by adding Colemak keyboard layout support and they accepted my pull request :D
- Comment on xkcd #3214: Electric Vehicles 2 weeks ago:
1200 miles in 24 hours
Just curious how often do you go more than 300 miles in a day, and if you do with any frequency how much would it really hinder you to stop for 45 minutes every 300 miles?

Actually very rare Texas W
- Comment on Datacenters in space are a terrible, horrible, no good idea. 2 weeks ago:
I mean a data center barge or one in Antarctica would do much the same and be wildly cheaper and (relatively) more practical.
- Comment on This is a federated test post from a nodeBB forum. 3 weeks ago:
Traditional, old school forums.
They’ve been around forever but just recently become federated software.
- Comment on Also, in my state, all the drivers are the worst 3 weeks ago:
Nah. The state I used to live in I wouldn’t say either of those things.
