I acknowledged it wasn’t appropriate behavior. The point is there’s no need to call it out again in such an aggressive way, especially when it’s already been acknowledged.

What the fuck, dude. I get your sentiment but you’re being so mean. I already know I have issues. That’s the whole point of this post. Don’t need to be so aggressive and call me a shitty human. Jesus christ. You must be one of those ‘Brutally honest’ people that thinks cruel words is helpful.

They’d be removing the USB ports? I’m pretty sure you need to physically connect controllers to the playstation via USB to even get them paired. Plus peripherals like headphones.

Also disagree with the take that games aren’t pushing the ps5 hardware. The fuck are they smoking when we have performance mode for most games? 4k, 60fps, with raytracing should be the benchmark these days.

I think that today’s world makes it harder to stand out as a genius, even with more opportunity. Most modern composers with any public name recognition are movie composers, like Hans Zimmer, Howard Shore, and John Williams. Absolutely incredible scores without their movies, but are any Mozart level? I bet the Mozart level ones are probably well known in the orchestral world, but none of them are probably very well known outside of it.

And as far as scientists and mathematics, those roles have been pretty much entirely commercialized and corporatized. Even stuff for the public good is largely funded through grants and private investors, so the geniuses are always beholden to others who will take the real credit.

All of the recognized “geniuses” that I can think of are business-savvy grifters like musk and bozos and Zuck, all riding the coattails of the real innovators. Plus, these three specifically, if you look at their vanity projects and shit, they’re all pretty insane.

To be fair Rockstar was really the company that normalized nudity in games. Not that is is normalized, I can only think of a handful of companies that have done it in mainstream games. Cd project red gamed and that Conan exiles or whatever mmo where you get a dick? Honestly can’t think of others.

I’ve never had it happen with any other devices at the desk. Bluetooth, wifi, pc, switch, everything else works perfectly. It’s just the pulse playstation headphones.

Have they fixed the wifi-interface issue? I can’t play my playstation at my desk/monitor without the sound cutting or glitching frequently, and I was reading that it’s probably because my wifi router is on the desk.

Yep. I live in a suburb outside a major city. To get to the “train station” without a car, I’d need to walk over a mile to the closest bus stop, take that bus up the road to a transfer, take that bus to the light rail station, then take that light rail to the train station. 1 1/2 hours vs 45 minutes driving. And if I’m already driving 45 minutes anyway, I’d rather just stay in my car and go straight to my destination.

Another ignored factor is safety. depending on the city (like mine), public transportation is full of mentally ill and people on drugs. I’ve seen more fights and freaky shit on public transportation than I have the rest of my life combined. I had to physically intervene a dude harassing my client with autism once and shove him out the door. That was the last time I took public transportation because it’s not worth my safety. Thanks drug decriminalization.

In America the train costs as much as a plane ticket. Driving is cheaper. We also have very little in the way if trains. Most of our long distance travel is by bus. Tiny, dirty, cramped busses where if someone takes a shit in the toilet everyone smells it for hours. I would rather drive.

That has to be the real reason they’ve canceled Grand Tour

Bad bot linking to pay walls and not posting the article text.

It’s incredibly important to do so because conservative and right-wing media is all free. They don’t paywall anything. This is part of the disinformation brain-drain. The quality, real stuff is locked away but the bullshit is out for display.

Start displaying the real stuff.

It’s not the color, but there actually is something in the glacial freeze one that gives it that cool feeling in the back of your throat, like mint/menthol does.

I’ve wondered this before: most animals have a sense of smell magnitudes stronger Than humans. But I’ve also seen situations where smells are so bad the humans are reaching but the animals don’t care.

Do animals not have the same “gross” reactionary instinct?

I mean… they literally try to fuck up the internet every few years. Eventually they’ll get someth8ng through.

They’re also leading the race to making encryption illegal, so…

You are still misinterpreting me. And claiming I’m misinterpreting you as well lol. Of course you still have to shoot your shot lol. Maybe I’d just assumed that was obvious.

I use names because it’s exasperating and frustrating to have a conversation with pessimists that always have an excuse. I get frustrated when people act like shit is supposed to fall in their laps and complain when it doesn’t.

Relationships take work. Finding a relationship does, too. It takes subtelty and nuance.

Jesus fuck that’s completely misinterpeting what I said. I said DON’T go trying to hook up. Forget that goal entirely. If all you want is to fuck go to the bunny ranch in Reno.

If you actually want a relationship, a genuine connection, Go to meet FRIENDS. If you’re an actually likeable person people will want to be around you and be with you. But this neckbeard incel attitude is incredibly off-putting, and it makes nobody want to be around you. It’s all self-fulfilling prophecy.

“People are animals”, “people are suffering without FeMalEs”.

This is about the shittiest incel take I’ve ever seen from an ace. Shame on you.

“Go out and do things you enjoy and develop actual connections” is bad advice?

First thing to do is to not use neckbeardy scientific language like ‘find a mate’. It makes me think of the way ferengi say ‘Female’. It comes off as very creepy and lecherous.

Go do things you enjoy doing. Find local groups or hobby/card/game shops with events. Get to know people. Become a known person. And be yourself. Pretending to be anything or anyone you aren’t will always backfire in a real relationship.

The big thing is to never go out with the goal of hooking up or finding someone. It adds an extra layer of weirdness if you do meet someone, and a massive extra disappointment every time you don’t. Just be friendly and casual. Things will fall into place.
