Deception isn’t the only reason to filter information, it’s just wasteful and redundant to constantly be transmitting the entirety of all of the input processes of an individual. If individuals are similar within a species to a certain point, they don’t all need to constantly be reporting to eachother all of the similarities. We also don’t only make use of our own consciousness or filter for language purposes, there’s a million different processes that exist subconsciously not because we’ve blocked them out but just because there’s no reason for our self to be aware of them.

As long as you’re using and plugging in your steamdeck reasonably often(every couple of days) the suspend mode is fantastic and there’s little reason to ever do a full shutdown or reboot in my experience. Boot into desktop mode the first time, and then just use the suspend mode to stay there, switching to gaming mode only when you want to play games. It also doesn’t take very long to switch from gaming mode to desktop mode or vice versa, I find the main time killer is the initial boot up into gaming mode the first time after shutdown.
Or you can just load games out of desktop mode, a recent update fixed a lot of the issues I had with the steam overlay not working in desktop mode and denying access to the powerful steaminput configuration options. That all works flawlessly now in desktop mode as well. I haven’t actually switched back to gaming mode for some time, since I use desktop mode to install games anyway and test the installation, it’s easier just to stay in desktop mode now.

I mean if you’re only using 2 digits then 1926 is gonna read the same as 2026, and there’s lots of people over 100 years old…

I mean I just have a shelf high up in the shower that I put my phone on and play music out of the speaker. The acoustics are great in the shower, why would you want earbuds?

This is good advice. I would also suggest that if you’re currently paying rent and don’t have a car, but are reasonably certain you won’t be able to pay rent in the future, it’s maybe better to stop paying rent now (or as soon as you can to avoid an eviction) and use that money towards a car instead so you also have somewhere reliable and safe to sleep. A car and a gym membership might not be an ideal living situation but that will allow you to stay clean and presentable and potentially work to save up enough for rent in the future.

Sometimes I make it jelly side down if the jelly is really watery, and I let it sit for a couple minutes so the jelly soaks into the bread, but then I always flip it for eating. This helps prevent all the jelly from splooging out all the sides when I bite it, because I like my PB+j LOADED.

I mean, if done properly it is effective, it’s just not 100% effective, but no birth control is. But combining the pullout method with an IUD is going to be much more effective than an IUD alone, even though they’re already near 100%. Same with both control pills. Hell even if you’re raw dogging it with no birth control, it’s definitely a hell of a lot better idea to try to pull out than to just nut inside.

I mean lots of old ladies think it’s perfectly fine to touch other people’s children, tousle their hair, etc. and idk that I necessarily disagree. It’s not something I’d ever do, but aside from making some awkward kids potentially a little uncomfortable it’s not hurting anyone. Intent matters a lot, and if someone was having sexual intentions towards kittens I damn well hope people would stop them.

Also Marilyn Manson’s. And not just piss.

I’m not sure where you got this information, but I’d be interested to see a source. As far as I know in the middle ages beers and ales were brewed using the same mash multiple times leading to varying strengths ranging from 10-12% for the first batch to very little alcohol ~1% from the third batch. And of course there were also various types of wines available. Children drank only the weak beer, but there was definitely high alcohol content drinks available.

If this becomes widespread, I just won’t use any websites that require it. There will always be ways around it or alternatives for people opposed to losing their privacy. There already are at least 2 Internets. There’s reddit and Facebook and Twitter and all the corporate news sites, and then there’s Lemmy and archive.org and the dark web and dev pages and independent websites and piracy. I find I rarely care about the former anyway. It’ll just mean being blocked off from all the corporate slop, which may be a blessing in disguise.

Because they don’t have to read the magazines in the waiting room? They would have to suffer through a shitty flight though. They spend money on things that affect them personally, I feel like it’s not that hard to understand.

But its worth it because you get to drive 2 giant cars. Those things are like 30ft long and 10ft wide. You’ll be king of the road. Also who doesn’t want back to back bathrooms.

Make them breakfast, what are you just sitting around for, they gave you a place to stay it’s the least you could do.

No, you’re wrong. This weekend means the next up coming weekend. Next weekend means the one after that. Unless you were talking super early on Sunday morning and you were confused whether he meant that afternoon. But like, critical thinking skills are important in communication.

Just stick a finger up there, just do it in private, this isn’t kindergarten.

The story mode in San Andreas and GTA IV were incredible. GTA V’s story was still pretty amazing too… Not sure how you could’ve played enough of it in 30 mins to even be able to judge it.

Yeah fuck food or clean water, let’s read

Having an NPC go in front is way worse lmao. I hate little semi cutscenes where it zooms in on some NPC jumping across platforms or climbing up ledges, that’s way worse game design than having a subtle visual cue for ledges you can grab onto. I mean it doesn’t need to be as blatant as yellow paint, but just recognizable distinguishable feature if you’re gonna have a jump and hang mechanic on some ledges but not others

Unless he follows road Runner rules and now she’s just given him a bunch more houses to choose from.
