    Is anyone NOT steaming their Music?

  • I use an air fryer

    No actually I've used physical media since the 90s and haven't had a reason to change

  • Been playing the entire Battlefield franchise since 1942

    Note to readers: 1942 is the name of a game, not the year of release

  • How do I stop sleeping through everything?

  • Increase the volume on your alarm. Set it to a ringtone that is less relaxing. Set multiple such alarms, a few minutes apart.

  • Still a lot of toxicity on BS as well, and I only see that increasing

  • So...how the fuck do I trust anything?

  • You don't need to trust consensus to observe global average temperatures and infer that we're in uncharted territory in regard to the climate.

  • It's the bare minimum. For you to lambast the suggestion of doing the bare minimum would imply you prefer doing nothing, not doing more.

  • You're touching on the idea of a "truth baseline" as I call it. How do you know what's real vs bullshit?

    My truth baseline is that maintaining the habitability of Earth is good. From that, I can deduce the following:

    • excessive carbon dioxide in atmosphere is bad
    • reliance on fossil fuels is bad
    • clean renewable energy is good
    • people who rail against renewables are bad
    • political part(ies) that do the same are bad
    • news figures that normalize that are bad

    Etc. See where this is headed?

    The ambiguity of whether someone is good or not is due to goodness being a subjective quality. There is no such thing as objective good. The closest thing to objective good we can attain is sustainability.

    The same can be said about truth. If you want something objective, that's called fact. Truth is a subjective perception of facts. Thus... there is no one correct truth. Just an openness to adjust to new information while dismissing those who are opposed to your truth baseline.

  • You either vote against fascism or you don't.

    You can call me insane if you like. But at least I'm not a fascist.

    Are you?

  • What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly?

  • Guessing you mean the speed of a truck relative to the speed of the Earth, as the Earth is traveling around the Sun much faster than a truck

  • Everyone thinks the Deus Ex remaster looks awful and they're right: 'They really turned those 1999 graphics into 2003 graphics'

  • -esque* fyi

  • Should you copy a person's accent when pronouncing their name?

    Jump

  • I try to say it exactly like they say it.

    I had a coworker named Mahmoud, and all my native-English-speaking coworkers heavily anglicized the pronunciation, removing the throat-clearing sound of the h, and changing the first vowel to like the a in "math" rather than like the a in "mall". Whenever I spoke to him, I tried to copy his inflection as best I could, and and he seemed delighted, but I never clarified if it was about my pronunciation.

  • Not at all. That customer was hunting for something to complain about so they could negotiate freebies from your boss. Sounds like your boss fell for it.

    Harris on Trump: ‘We’re dealing with a communist dictator’

  • Oh, well, if a group trying to take over the world says they're the good guys, they must be telling the truth, right? Why would they lie?

  • U.N. escalator stops as Trump, first lady get on; White House demands firing if deliberate

  • If it was deliberate then it was probably well-intentioned, i.e., give them a moment to stabilize

  • Why do people call it “woke”?

    Jump

  • Only douchecanoes use the term unironically, so it follows the person they are criticising is likely doing something morally right.
