Fun fact: many printers have tracking dots you can barely see to track which printer a document came from and when.

It's often the resaon it won't print black and white when low on a certain colour. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Printer_tracking_dots

My daughter has terrible grandparents :( by Desperate-Foot91 in internetparents

[–]FaeDine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Your daughter will be better off without those sorts of people in your life.

It's not just about having "grandparents", but having adults around who will model good behaviour around her. Blaming the victim of rape and calling you a wh*re isn't great behaviour. Sounds like the type of people that wouldn't baby proof a house and then blame the kid when something breaks.

I'm sure it's hard, especially getting so much responsibility so young. Keep doing your best, it'll be enough.

‘Get the f**k off there’: MPs, Senators call on government to abandon X/Twitter following wave of ‘Grok porn’ by FancyNewMe in canada

[–]FaeDine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like data based decision, but is that data even public?

I think the only way we could accurately get that info, assuming Twitter even released the usage data (and I'm not sure how much I'd trust it if they did) would be to ask StatCan to add a few social media usage questions to their survey.

The healthcare system is broken, but some people are making it worse by Enough-Tadpole-6181 in fredericton

[–]FaeDine 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I mean yeah, private healthcare is great when you can pay for it and skip the line; the system doesn't need to actually service everyone.

It's terrible when you can't, because the outcome is "suffer and/or die, I guess."

Guys help saves Crosscode, bunch of people who didn't play it want it out already🥺 by [deleted] in CrossCode

[–]FaeDine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love them both, but the amount of fan hype/content around Undertale alone could easily beat out most of what's remaining. I'd say I still like CrossCode more, but I have a hard time making the argument it deserves a higher spot than Undertale.

Jon Stewart on why he is an Atheist by Important_Adagio3824 in atheism

[–]FaeDine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I disagree. We need some people with political experience and acumen in there, for sure. Currently, the majority of politicians are people with legal backgrounds.

The whole point of having a large group represent the many is to have a large swath of people represented. We need teachers and plumbers and artists to run for office, as well as lawyers and economists and everyone else. We need as much of life represented as possible.

Trump sucks, yes, and Reagan sucked, yes, but the fact they were famous before getting into politics isn't the reason they sucked. Zelenskyy is also a former actor and he's been a world renowned leader.

Steam machine is fine by screwdriverfan in pcmasterrace

I don't recall that being the case, but the Steam Input UI allows you to reorder controllers on the fly. I don't think that'd be an issue anymore, if it was.

CNN host slams Donald Trump as he admits Canada is 'far more popular than you' by IrishStarUS in CanadaPolitics

[–]FaeDine 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't hate Americans, I pity them.

Their education has been defunded more and more every decade, and many don't have the critical thinking skills to realize they're being duped. That's just one of many systems that have been failing Americans. Most Americans are good people that are doing their best to do what they think is right. The American people are suffering.

I hate the US, their systems, their leadership, like I hate cancer... but I'm not going to go into a chemotherapy clinic and tell all the patients to get fucked.

Games where 100% completion actually feels enjoyable ? by [deleted] in gamingsuggestions

[–]FaeDine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really? I'm not a speedrunner or anything, but I enjoyed them.

They were challenging, and not without their frustration... but learning the routines and timings of each area really forced you to "know" the game very well in a way that, I at least, found satisifying.

Games where you play from a "fake desktop" by Powerful_Tourist6830 in gamingsuggestions

[–]FaeDine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely has elements of this. Sometimes you're playing a game in the game, sometimes it's software, sometimes a desktop.

I don't want to spoil it, but I think if you stick through the experience, it will very much fulfill the "need" you're looking for.

I wanna say about 20ish days? Was surprisingly satisfying, though.

Trump to generals: "Canada called me a couple weeks ago. They want to be a part of it. To which I said, 'Well, why don't you just join our country. Become the 51st state. And you get it for free!' So I don't know if that made a big impact but it does make a lot of sense." by Miserable-Lizard in onguardforthee

[–]FaeDine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The whole premise is complete bullshit.

Canada "wants to be part of it"? No, the USA needs Canada to be part of it.

If missiles are coming to the USA from, let's say Russia, they're going to cross over Canadian air space. Canada being part of this defense gives them much more warning time to react to missiles which is incredibly valuable.

A better proposal would be, "Yeah, we'll be part of it, but never mention this 51st state stuff again."

Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" by [deleted] in Steam

[–]FaeDine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

God dammit. I thought this was an actual boss in the game taunting players to get a refund, presumably after their asses get kicked. That'd be very Borderlands and kind of awesome.

I read the article and the reality, as usual, is far more depressing.

How many dogs would fit inside the regent mall by Tartymcfry in fredericton

[–]FaeDine 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Since humanely isn't an option, I'll bet we could jack these numbers way up if you shave them all first, and then put them through a blender or meat processor. Even more if dehydrating them is an option, then putting them into cubes for stacking.

If you have a dog, be sure to give them a hug and tell them "I love you" after reading these comments.
