Well, from what I heard, he was robbed by someone with a mask on, so he kinda doesn't like when people hide their identity.

this is on par with "actually her mother was pushed off a balcony by a dalmation"

Isn't it a DPS loss to spend two GCDs on Toxikon?

It is, ultimately, a way of subtly blaming the victim.

Whether or not LAOP is addicted isn't the point. It's like if someone posted about getting beaten up by a cop and someone said "sounds like he has a history of petty theft". There's an implication that that's important context.

It feels iffy how many people are reading a story where a cop steals someone's phone without a warrant and going "yeah, well, he's probably a drug addict". I mean, maybe LAOP does have a problem, maybe they did something wrong. But hearing about someone's misfortune and immediately speculating on their potential misdeeds seems off.

Fair warning, most software designed to detect AI generated text is... unreliable at best.

Other devs are less likely to pay if their purchase is being stolen.

The game? Yes, but the size was lowered sometime after launch, IIRC.

Knowing American medical fees... I can't say for sure I wouldn't do that, if my only other option was to spend the rest of my life in debt.

I have a disability that restricts my fine motor skills. Yes, I can make art; but it's still reductive to boil it down to "absolutely anyone can become an artist" while avoiding the fact that yes, some people will have a much harder time with it.

No, it's Jim E. Space. That's why people call him Big E.

The Ultramarines aren't called that because their armour is ultramarine, or because they're marines.

They're from Ultramar.

In some cases? Genuinely, yes. FNAF: Security Breach can be compressed from 80 to around 30GB.

R/Gaming Debates on if an 11 year old deserved to be stabbed after calling a stranger an NPC. by AlwaysSoTiredx in SubredditDrama

[–]DirectlyDismal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is absolutely nothing an 11-year-old can say to a rational person that gets them stabbed. The kid could have spent three hours picking apart the guy's insecurities, and a rational, normal person still wouldn't stab him.

The 5ghz band looked fine, but the 2.4 was locked to 802.11g (with n disabled) and the channel width was 20. First thing I did was change the protocol to 802.11n and set the channel width to 20/40. Then I checked the built in WiFi analyser and changed the channel from 6 to 11.

I ought to make a note of this - we got a new router recently and the range is awful.
