  • Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes?

  • Visual snow is when you see it with eyes open afaik. But yea, still not terribly abnormal on its own. Visual snow syndrome is a thing though, but it's more than just seeing an abnormal amount of visual snow (the normal amount seems to be when looking at unicolored surfaces and in dim light).

  • Old post, but this toxicity is a reminder of why reddit sucks.

  • Saying it's even worse does imo, since there's no shared statistic as the original 25% was about illegal immigrants rather than criminal records.

  • I interpreted that part as ironic, i.e. "just learn to draw you can do it too" isn't exactly some insane revelation, so making it advice from superman is probably meant to ridicule the idea that being able to draw is some godgiven ability (like supermans).

  • Yes, but both the ability to stick with something and the speed of learning are highly variant per person. Even though I somewhat agree with the point, the image still feels pretentious as hell to me because it just assumes everyone will have the same experience learning to draw as the artist of that image did.

  • Physical retailers have been taking 30% before steam was even a thing. And no, the physical storage does not mean they should be paid more, because steam provides hosting capabilities that also cost money. Console stores from limited research seem to also take 30%.

    Epic takes less because they operate the store at a loss in a desperate attempt to gain market share. If ms takes less, it's for the same reason.

  • Complaining about the 30% is insanity, that's how retailers work, it's not an unusual cut for an online store.

    I fail to see how steam is anti-consumer, or how it ever actively tried to monopolize anything.

    Selling broken, unfinishedband shovelware games was just them giving in to the demand to let everything on the store, after people (rightfully imo) hated greenlight.

    Fuck the gambling though

  • Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame

  • I forgot where but some time in the last 3 hours I read that the goal for steamOS is to be supported on all PCs, though it's an ongoing effort.

  • The PowerShell Manifesto Radicalized Me

    Jump

  • Powershell is nice for scripting things close to the (windows) OS. But (granted I'm not exactly some PS wizard, I've just used it a few times for minor things at work) I agree it often feels unnecessarily verbose and cumbersome. For example the fact that you need to define a whole function to alias even just a single command with parameters. And just overall I find it very hard to read (though maybe that's on the guy that did the powershell stuff before me, I don't have great sample size here).

    But I'll take what I can get.

  • I know re-enacting history is a great way to teach it to kids, but maybe this was a little too far...

  • Looking at the response to the gaza invasion, it seems rather than learning to recognize fascism, people learned only to recognize the specific ww2 era german version of it and use that as criteria to recognize fascism as a whole.

    You agree hitler was a piece of shit, so you can't be a fascist. You think israel should exist, so you can't be a fascist. You think israel's actions are horrific, you must be a nazi. Etc.

  • Thanks DnD

  • Tbh I don't really get why though. Clearly he's good at getting people to listen, but... why?

    Hitler was similar (except I'd say better looking) but listening to his speeches I at least get how he had crowds cheering. Trump could say things I agree with and I'd still not want to listen to him.

  • If God was real (just go with it), then how he's portrayed in the Bible might not even be how he actually is.

    Jump

  • I've thought about this a bunch. The christian god being omnipotent and benevolent is contradictory to the bible and also just the state of the world. So what if there actually is some god (or multiple) but these entities are far from omnipotent, really can't meddle all that much and maybe don't really care in the first place.

    I don't think it's true (even if it seems more plausible than any religion actually being completely right) but it's just funny to me to imagine that all religions could just be the result of some higher dimensional beings playing with our planet out of boredom, and humans just ascribed far too much power to them.

  • Russia Sending Mentally Disabled Men to Front to Replace Heavy Losses, Ukrainian Intel Says

    Jump

  • Ah yes racism is suddenly funny when it's about an enemy country.

    Like holy fuck I don't even judge dehumanizing propaganda in a defensive war because you're fighting for survival but this isn't the ukrainian frontline can we not call 143 million people disabled for being born in a certain country?

  • At this SF grocery store, you can't leave unless you buy something

    Jump

  • It is because no one present likely has anything to do with the decision, and even if someone is actively restraining you there's a reasonable amount of resistance and while that includes mild violence it does not include shooting someone or similar. Unless you really need to be somewhere reacting to that with extreme violence is completely unhinged.

    Maybe mild violence is what you meant, but that can easily be read differently.

  • Online porn showing choking to be made illegal, government says

    Jump

  • I first looked up porn online around that age and never had that kind of image of sex at any point. No idea if that's due to my personality, the fact that I read a lot of people's perspectives online which told me porn is unrealistic, or just that I had plenty of idea what sex was about at 13 because of course I had questions before then and any answer I got emphasized the part where both parties involved enjoy it and love each other.

    Maybe a bit of all of them. But I really think that while trying to restrict porn access for minors a little more than an "are you 18" pop-up is probably a good thing, it needs to be without violating any adult's privacy and the main way to prevent damage is and always will be better education.
