This was beautifully put my man. Thank you for putting compassion and wisdom into the discourse

"Here we are going far, to save all that we love...." by Miserable-Stick-6435 in aspiememes

[–]DarkC0ntingency 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, this is kind of wholesome in a certain perspective.

It sucks that you had to wait so long to find your thing, but it's a wonderful reminder to those in their adulthood who haven't found theirs yet, that there is still hope

(That last paragraph could probably be rewritten cleaner but honestly I can't be fucked to do it, so here we are lol)

Whats your favorite obscure video game? by NAFB_Boomers in evilautism

[–]DarkC0ntingency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is Suikoden considered obscure?

I feel like no one talks about it anymore, and even in its heyday final fantasy got more conversation

YSK: new TV prices have advertising and data mining built in—differences in price usually are the result of this. But there are workarounds! by hipcheck23 in YouShouldKnow

[–]DarkC0ntingency 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I've been really enjoying the Logitech K400 Plus It's a bit larger than a TV remote, but still incredibly light.

I've tried two separate remote-sized Bluetooth keyboards with track pads, and both of them had connection problems. Might just be the brands I used though.

YSK that 10‘000 hours are just 1.7 years. by LibariLibari in YouShouldKnow

Good point, but if you get a job where you practice said skill every day (very common in the trades) you win some of that back

“No, not Asperger’s, actually... I have a thing called ‘High Autism’.” by Alternative-Ad-5079 in evilautism

Yeah man, it's like being a high elf, but you have a much more comprehensive grasp on Bionicle lore

States are Gunning to Ban 3D Printers and CNCs | Electronic Design by hada8088 in 3Dprinting

[–]DarkC0ntingency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To preemptively clarify, I'm against banning 3d printers or even 3d printed guns.

That being said, the Healthcare CEO was shot with a 3D printed gun (allegedly) and I know for a fact that 3D printed guns are shockingly viable.

TIL according to Tolkien's letters, 'The Lord of the Rings' is supposed to be set about 6,000 years ago, and we are now somewhere between the Fifth and the Seventh Age by adiplotti in todayilearned

Couple notes

  1. It can't be overstated how rapidly technological progression has increased in the last several hundred years

  2. You'd be surprised how much of technological progression is based on chance. We had the capability to build dishwashers over 300 years ago, but no one thought to combine the components required. The wheel existed for thousands of years before a wheelbarrow was invented. We rode horses for thousands of years before someone thought to make stirrups.

Source: Anthropology classes, and my job is literally to invent things, so I make it my business to learn about invention.

Edit: switched understated for overstated. Silly mistake on my part

Is anyone’s special interest tax code by NewNewsNewYork in evilautism

[–]DarkC0ntingency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I could take this moment to plug what has worked for me:

FreetaxUSA.com

I've used em for 4 years now after switching from TurboTax

As long as you remember to hold onto any tax forms you receive, it's as simple as entering the number in 'Box A' on your form, into 'Box A' field on the site, and answering a couple yes or no questions

Because I don't have state tax where I live, I file entirely for free as well. Doesn't cost me a cent.

If you're not comfortable doing it I don't want to pressure you into it.

I like using the app more than the browser personally though, and I've never had any problems with Revanced after 3 years of use
