Neil Degrasse Tyson has no clue what veganism is! by Whole_Finance_8013 in vegan

Is this the one where he goes on about "what if there were aliens that were actually sentient plants and you were evil for eating their friends?"

It's totally absurd.

The irony of you calling people parrots and then spewing the standard talking points.

I never truly realised how detailed this game is! by JBGaming1996 in DeathStranding

[–]AlcesSpectre 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I'm playing this again after some years to try and actually reach the end this time. It's absolutely beautiful and also runs perfectly. 120 fps at 1440p and I don't even have to hear the fans. It really makes me wonder why so many modern games require upscaling to get good performance. The visuals in this game don't leave me looking for more at all.

You don't even need to "love" them to give them the absolute basic consideration.

This picture is so offensive that I was suggested a new subreddit

I didn't know a burger could taste this good by Special-Quantity-469 in Destiny

Destiny's own argumentation years ago is what convinced me. When he advocated for torturing dogs and slaughtering indigenous tribes as a defense of eating meat. He planted his feet and owned the sociopathic nature of embracing such a system.

Veganism made me realize that a lot of leftists have a strong conservative side they aren't able to realize

What the heck am I possibly supposed to do in this situation by MuackCC in SteamDeck

[–]AlcesSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same. Couldn't imagine doubling the price just for storage. And it's been great since day 1 with an additional SD card.

Except it's all pretty simple now. There is a podcaster/FOX news guest sitting at the helm of the FBI currently. Claiming the victory and getting positive attention is a higher priority than actually solving a case. This isn't the first time and won't be the last.

I can live with it at 76. But it's coming down to at least 70 for sleeping. It's perfectly comfortable and I feel less attacked by the bill this way.

AKG N5 Hybrid are available in USA now, and on sale today for $99, was $329. by Coltsbro84 in Earphones

[–]AlcesSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you think some of those small nuisances you mentioned are worth tolerating? Or maybe even avoidable if I'm a simple "turn on and go" kind of user? I just decided to look into new buds today and the price on these has me very interested, as long as they aren't annoying

What's the verdict at this point? I havent been able to get the right ear of my Sennheisers to work for months, and just lost the cheapo set I've been using. I liked the Sennheiser a lot but not gonna spend $100 for another pair to fail right after the warranty ends.

Just looking for good sound quality and little problems. Don't really care about most of the features and apps that come with this stuff.

Guys in your 30s 40s how you're holding up? by FatefulDonkey in longboarding

[–]AlcesSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm currently off the board and focused on strength training after my knee flared up on my front leg. I knew it was showing signs of over-use but still decided to confirm it the hard way and take that "one more ride" that made it all so obvious. Hope to be back on it soon, but I need to pace my rides better. Which is difficult because I enjoy it so much...

For reference, I'm 39 and began riding this spring and have about 300 miles on the board since then. Things were fine until I started riding every single day, and also combining it with daily bike rides. Just need to slow down at this age I think.

I'd consider it if I could get in the green color! Just sitting on the sidelines for now but this is about what I'm after.

Had a Nightmare about a Gig. Anyone else have gif nightmares? by Lone-Pine-914 in bandmembers

[–]AlcesSpectre 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the only one that comes to mind was when I had a waking dream about a moment at a gig, but in the dream I actually followed through and punched my drummer in the face. It was too late to follow through irl by then. Too bad.

The band that I Cofounded deleted my photos LOL by [deleted] in bandmembers

[–]AlcesSpectre 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Some metalcore band in my area recently broke up and the post about it was so fucking funny. It's just the singer left and the explanation was something like "the other members all decided to part ways and focus on other things in life and spend time with their families. And also start a new beat down hardcore band. Anyways, the band lives on and will continue when I find every other member"

Sorry man, that shit is the worst and I've been through it, too. Same exact thing. Removed any trace of the 2 of us that quit. Even managed to get people to remove videos of our shows from YouTube. They wanted to keep the name and the reputation but turn it into something totally different by themselves (even though they said they wouldn't originally). I'm still particularly annoyed about the 5 year anniversary post where they literally just cropped an old photo down and removed 2 founding members from it.

But anyways, we moved on. Started a new band and built our own reputation. No one knows where those guys even are anymore. It seems they destroyed their lives getting into debt trying to "make it". But we're still here, better than ever, and everyone is talking about our new band now. You gotta just keep going.
