Hello! My name is Cobalt Swiftpaw. I'm here for memes and art.

Previously /u/PirandelloKruger723 on Reddit.

  • LOL they're SO desperate. We're not coming back

  • Dear Republican Women

  • Liberals still having trouble conceptualising that MAGA is a death cult that has no issue with policies that kill everyone.

  • Surely This tech billionaire is different right

    Jump

  • Your goals and my goals are very different. I don't personally want millions of fediverse users, I'm happy with strong small communities.

  • What's up, curd nerds?

    Jump

  • An excellent comment.

  • Defederation "blocks" that instance for all users. Not really the same thing as monolithic bsky or twitter. You are not even aware of the instances yours has defederated with.

  • The new science of alcohol: why recent guidance says more than 2 drinks per week is risky

    Jump

  • More than 0 drinks is risky. Our society has just normalized the very real harm alcohol can cause. People should certainly be able to make their own choice but I think it's really silly to treat alcohol different from other drugs when by every measure it is actually quite a strong drug with a high dependency risk.

  • All of the above. Fuck capitalism, fuck DRM, and fuck giving the 1% more money lmao

  • Firefox is really innovating

    Jump

  • Arch Linux package maintainers seem to have disabled it by default unless I did something and forgot

  • ‘My advice actually would be don’t go’: Expert warns Canadians about U.S. travel risks

    Jump

  • Gotta love America still subtly implying that they are the leaders by assuming we need their word to not come to their fascist state. Yeah bud. We know. We've been watching the whole time

  • Klingons are so wholesome

    Jump

  • English is nothing if not a bastard child of way too many different languages and has inherited and then changed their pronunciation rules. English pronunciation will never make sense.

  • Transit violence rising across Canada — in some cities by nearly 300%; Exclusive data shows crime rates still well above pre-pandemic levels

    Jump

  • Everybody thinks about these events entirely wrong. There are sociological reasons people are violent or otherwise engaging in antisocial behaviour. Once we start giving people a place to live to actually set their lives up instead of just letting folks rot in the street much of this problem will mostly solve itself. Everyone seems to want to downplay the issue, but we don't need to do that because there's real solutions that don't involve state violence.

    Either way this problem, even in its genuinely problematic current form and not something I will handwave away on its own, is not that significant compared to the personal and social harm of car centrism. You should still be more worried about dying in a car crash than some violent actor on public transit.

  • Nutrek remasters

    Jump

  • If by "no one" you mean the same people who keep motion smoothing on because they don't notice, yeah. Personally I don't like fake information that balloons filesizes. The artifacts are obvious to me.

  • I wasted all my generational luck for this

    Jump

  • I'd put it down to a shit library or pseudorandomness before something happening that's so lucky it functionally should never happen.

  • Usually the second, which is the most common option, because we know objectively that studios are in fact not "losing" eleventy billion dollars to piracy. If that were true most people would choose the first.

    I'm not buying the new Pokémon game. I'll play it on an emulator if it's not too much hassle. I don't have plans to ever buy it, and if it never works on emulation, I will just not play it.

    In a different case, I've gone from pirating a bunch of games to buying them because I liked them and wanted the updates. BG3 for example.

  • Of course there is, but the K400 just does its job very well. You can get all kinds of Bluetooth and RF remotes. I have a generic one also meant for HTPCs (Rii brand) and it literally requires line of sight within 3 meters to work at all. The K400 is recommended for a reason.

  • Dog shoots owner in the back after jumping on shotgun left on bed: Police

    Jump

  • Responsibilities usually come with privileges. If you fail to fulfil your responsibilities, you lose those privileges. I'm not really sure what you're getting at here because I don't think we really disagree.

  • Psychedelic Truth

    Jump

  • Your experience is valid but Datura seeds are NOT the same thing as acid and shrooms, yeah? Deliriants and psychedelics are completely different experiences. You are much more likely to have horrifying and terrible trips with deliriants, and you will not even understand what's happening to you isn't real, because categorically deliriants take that ability away from you.

    In 2025, even in the 2010s, the Psychonaut Wiki is absolutely invaluable for harm reduction like this.
