  • People with aphantasia, how does it affect your book reading?

    Jump

  • This. I also have it to a certain degree. Perfect description of how I read books. Never bothered me. Never even realized some people have a vivid visual imagination until it became a recurring reddit topic a few years ago.

  • Elon Musk leaving Trump administration, White House official says

    Jump

  • Musk becoming (like actually poor like all of us, not rich ppl poor) poor and really irrelevant (and thus completely ignored and not famous at all) would be the best punishment ever for him, even better than prison.

  • Parrying Is The Worst Thing In Video Games

    Jump

  • Yeah, I know about the sound. I've watched multiple videos with guides how to parry. Somehow my brain refuses to get it

    It's a me thing, I couldn't get the hang of parrying in elden ring, and not even in botw can I do it. But put me on e.g. Interrupt duty in wow, and I won't miss a single interrupt. I could time the bonus jumping attacks in Mario rpg games without any issue.

    I'm not a bad gamer by any means, but for some reason I can never ever get the hang of fucking parryibg.

  • Parrying Is The Worst Thing In Video Games

  • I hate parrying so much. I can never get the hang of it in any game. I can play twitch shooters at a decent level, I can play the most challenging platformers without any issue, my reaction time is OK for someone of my age, but give me a parry mechanic and it all falls apart. For some reason, my brain cannot handle video game parrying.

    I ended up downloading a mod that extends the parry window by 500% in Claire obscure. I still fucking fail at it at times. It completely ruins the game for me :(

  • How long do I need to exercise for before I start seeing a difference?

    Jump

  • I started at 35. From skinny fat to visibly "are you lifting" took me about 1 year. Looking "big" took 3-4years. I gained about 15kg of bw, probably about half fat and half muscle. The hardest part now is trying to diet down a bit again. Much harder than actually working out imo.

    I did workout using a squat rack at home.

    Still the best decision I ever made.

  • Those of you that back your vehicle into parking spots, why do you do it?

    Jump

  • No, because when you drive out forward, you can start turning the front of your car faster. Hard to put into words.

    I asked AI to explain. It can do it better than me

    [r/NoStupidQuestions] Q: Is it better to back into a tight parking spot or drive in forward? Won’t you get stuck driving out?

    A: Backing into a tight spot is almost always better. Here’s why:

    More control: When backing in, your front wheels (which steer) are free to pivot, giving you tighter, more precise control. Your back wheels just follow.

    Better exit: When it's time to leave, driving out forward gives you better visibility and a wider turning radius—no more blind reversing into traffic or trying to edge out slowly.

    Why you won't get stuck driving out: The same space you needed to back in is more than enough to drive out. Your front wheels can turn sharper, and you can see what’s coming. Even in tight spots, driving out is usually quicker and safer than reversing.

    TL;DR: Back in now, drive out easy later. Your future self will thank you.

  • Reversing in is actually easier. As your car can turn tigther reversing than going front in.

    Guess it's a non issue if you have massive parking spaces, but when space is tight every little bit helps.

  • Heritage Foundation and Allies Discuss Dismantling the EU

    Jump

  • While I agree that Europe is strong, we should be careful not to make the same mistake as Democrats made twice during their elections and downplay the threat of right-wing strongmen,l and populism. They're very clearly on the rise in Europe. Everyone has to come out and vote against them. Make it very clear they're not welcome. I truly hope Europeans won't take the lazy option. But I also believe they're smart enough to go out and actually vote against evil.

  • YSK: If you want faster and less buggy User experience, move to a smaller instance that is hosted close to you.

  • All fine and dandy, but don't just pick a random one close to you. Don't forget that the admin basically has all your info. So do your due diligence and make sure to check you agree with all their policies etc.
