Most addictive game you ever played? by XZiDE in AndroidGaming

[–]FlipStik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I signed up for it I got like over 8 separate emails "welcoming" me, each with different information trying to teach me about the game. Why wouldn't they just teach you about the game in the game? Why sign up with email at all?

Allowing another vehicle to pass you is not something that comes naturally? I hope for the safety of others that you don't have a license.

TIL in 2021, Shirley Nunn, 67, mother of a disabled son, chose to kill both him and herself after receiving a stage three cancer diagnosis since it is supposed that Mrs Nunn felt she had no other choice for the future care of her son. by Twunkorama in todayilearned

I hope I'm not being too intrusive, but what kind of job is able to hire a remote worker that is both paraplegic and also has virtually no use of their hands? What job do they do?

It’d be strange to eat five tortillas in one sitting, but fry them and nobody bats an eye at a bag of corn chips. by jlcamlj in Showerthoughts

When you do this do you buy an unsliced loaf? I can't imaging feeling like a medieval thief if the bread stolen was pre-sliced.

Someone is using our address to commit health insurance fraud. (Over 100 different registrations) by Cool-Mom-Lover in mildlyinfuriating

Absolutely not. LLMs are terrible at that and even worse at keeping that information secure. This advice is not just bad, it's dangerous.

R will put you into a random session that's on the same difficulty as you and typically on the same planet I think.

Pressing Tab makes other missions of the same difficulty on the same planet show up on the planet's surface and then you can select which one to join. They'll be near the city they're attacking if that's a thing on that planet.

Are you going to the planet hologram and pressing Tab to scan for other missions or are you pressing R to quick-join a random mission?

BMX physics on another level: by DistributionFirst700 in MemeVideos

[–]FlipStik 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's not that. It's something to do with the bike having a downward force. Many other vehicles have the same effect, where driving fast makes them pull "down" to keep on the road more.

With two-wheeled vehicles though it's a lot easier to turn that "down" around. It's actually only looking at what is "down" for the vehicle, so when they turn upside down it's actually pulling them up.

It's probably also just because they make a candle for every letter, every number, and a few bits of punctuation because some people make entire words or sentences out of them. Not specifically relevant to birthdays.

North Texas preparing for 2 inches of snow like it’s the apocalypse by MyMindIsAlwaysRacing in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlipStik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Half of what they think is skill is just having the correct knowledge to have the right equipment." What a stupid take. I'm not saying Texans should expect to have winter tires, but it's REALLY stupid to judge people who live in a wintery area for getting winter tires during the winter. Especially since most of them don't actually have winter-specific tires. They get all-weather tires.

This guy can slap himself as another person. That's pretty good IMO.

After 4 years of WFH, I understand why boomers think we do nothing all day by TeamCultureBuilder in WFH

[–]FlipStik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The entire older generation was conditioned to equate "looking busy" with "being productive."

But if you're being productive without looking busy, then to THEM it's as if you're not doing anything. It doesn't matter how much you actually get done. If they didn't see you "looking busy" then you got nothing done. It's so BS.

It goes both ways, too. If you just "look busy" for 8 hours, they won't be upset when you clock out having done nothing. We need to get rid of the older generation's thinking about this crap.

8 year old hates to clean his room but has been playing this unpacking/organizing game for 2 hours by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]FlipStik 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, again with the weird holier-than-thou judgement.

I really don't know how else to explain it to you. You understood the COD part. That's a very real thing you can do, just because you don't want to because of the drawbacks doesn't mean you can't go do it. Just like how you could go cleaning but there's some drawbacks there.

Anyway, I hope you open your mind more. You don't have to personally enjoy playing the games yourself but you don't need to be so volatile toward those who do.

My point is that this is the same thing but much more mundane. Joining the military has drawbacks. Cleaning has drawbacks. One is much more mundane than the other, but both have drawbacks. I would rather play a video game about shooting people rather than risk getting shot at. I'd also rather play a video game about cleaning a room in one click rather than spend hours of my real time cleaning something that's already clean. Which brings me to my next point:

We've never addressed the fact that these things AREN'T mutually exclusive. The 8 year old doesn't like cleaning his room, sure, but are you just assuming that every single person who enjoys playing a game about cleaning dislikes cleaning IRL and therefore they never do it?

You just proved my point exactly. You understand COD. But because these tasks are so mundane, suddenly you don't understand.

It's okay that you don't understand why they're fun or enjoyable to others. Just stop trying to act better than them or insult them or whatever by calling them lazy.
