- Comment on The Discord Breach Might Be Worse Than We Thought, As The Hacker Is Said To Have Two Million Age Verification Photos 13 hours ago:
You’re much too young for the Internet. Please submit your SSN and parents’ credit card information.
- Comment on Microsoft is plugging more holes that let you use Windows 11 without an online account 1 day ago:
Well, at least in 10, the username is something dumb and you can’t change it during creation (or everywhere easily after creation) when doing an online account. But linking after you create your account let you set it to whatever. So there may be people who are fine with online accounts but just want to set their usernames to whatever.

While drunkenness isn’t a blanket excuse for behavior, I don’t believe it’s inherently fair to say we are our true selves while drunk. Alcohol affects our reasoning, it doesn’t merely remove filters.
- Comment on If you lose your memories, are "you" dead? If a close relative/friend lose their memories, are they still "your relative/friend"? What the hell even is memory? How sentimental are you about memories? 1 day ago:
Well, you’d be interested to know that people with amnesia and cannot form new memories still become accustomed to people are are friendly around them despite not knowing who they are or why they feel friendly. It’s in a different part of the brain. Also some forms of muscle memory are literally stored in your muscles.
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 3 days ago:
I loved it, and don’t take this as a dig because tons of games had this problem. It was one of the first games in played where environments were fully destructible. Trees? Nah. Trees are invulnerable to everything, including literal bunker buster bombs.

I think I need a band aid.
You want me to throw my shoe?
- Comment on Once again, looking for PS2 game suggestions! 3 days ago:
Jak and Daxter as well as Ratchet and Clank are both fun series. Jak was always weird in emulators for me, but maybe it works now.

I don’t think all women are perfect (and never said such), but this post is 100% a fake screenshot that’s misogynistic rage bait.
- Comment on Has this ever happened to you? 6 days ago:
These girls are predators, and they tried to treat him like a chump
You’ve been successfully baited by a fake screenshot and are displaying misogyny.

I don’t print like this.
- Comment on AOL’s dial up internet takes its last bow, marking the end of an era 1 week ago:
Okay but about the fiber shit, they covered 99.7% of my city and didn’t cover my street and I’m within walking distance of city hall. I really wish there was a way I could compel them to give me fiber. One of the few things I dislike about my location.

SDF.org has dial-up. And a Lemmy instance. I think it’s lemmy.sdf.org

- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 week ago:
I don’t really care if people use it, it’s more that it feels like a quarter of our architect meeting presentations are about something AI related. It’s just exhausting.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 week ago:
I have a theory that it’s partly because a bunch of older StackOverflow answers have more votes than newer ones using new features. More referring to not using relatively new features as much as it should.
- Comment on AI Coding Is Massively Overhyped, Report Finds 1 week ago:
The people talking about AI coding the most at my job are architects and it drives me insane.
- Comment on Crap, not again! 1 week ago:
Not saying it’s bad or not, it’s just a bad comparison. It’s implying it looks like crap, but the alternative is not what’s on the left. The alternative is what’s on the left with no blooms or leaves.
- Comment on Steam Autumn Sale 2025 Has Begun 1 week ago:
If I’d known that I would’ve bought it years earlier.
- Comment on Crap, not again! 1 week ago:
I don’t like aggressive pruning but it’s not done while they’re in bloom. Mine is taking over the sidewalk so I need to do this, but it’s also not flowering or even has leaves at the moment.
- Comment on Being a dude sucks 1 week ago:
My hearing is way better than my wife’s so I typically just know what sounds are. But they got me in sight, I can’t find jack shit. Which is funny because my eyesight is actually better, I’m just bad at spotting.

Yeah it’s so dumb. Cats obviously don’t think the things over ten times their size that walk on a different amount of legs are the same as them.
Further, another “fun fact” I see a lot (equally questionable) is that cats meow only to communicate with humans, not cats. But that’s mutually exclusive with cats thinking humans are the same as them.
- Comment on Mmmm... Yeah. It checks out. 1 week ago:
I don’t buy this because cats will react totally differently to cats than people. Regardless of posture. If my cat sees someone walking down the street she doesn’t get angry. If my cat sees a cat outside she’s already on the defense.
- Comment on Lara Croft is a Sociopath 1 week ago:
I don’t think about that stuff. If it’s a game or movie involving killing I suspend my disbelief. It’s only annoying when they suddenly do care about it.
- Comment on whatever happened to in-store coffee grinders? 1 week ago:
It’s sadly a common thing. Something gets removed temporarily and people realize they like not having to deal with it better than the perceived benefits it offers.
- Comment on EVE Online 1 week ago:
Everything takes just a little too long and is just a little too boring. It’s such ana amazing premise though. For the type of person who enjoys it, it’s perfect though.
Add autopilot to 0 meters you cowards!

I thought the one on the right was AI since it “went viral” recently. But maybe it’s older than I thought.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
My thoughts entirely. One of my favorite ironies is The Washington Post saying “Democracy Dies in Darkness” as they prevent you from reading their news article without having a subscription.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
When I used Reddit I got news from there. If news sites weren’t so fucking atrocious to use i might browse them directly. Plus, it’s not like legitimate news isn’t shared on social media. AP is generally considered pretty unbiased and reliable and they have a TikTok account.
