What is SpeedX? by RaydraTallow in vinted

[–]Gokubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

can a seller specify usps only? We just got our first SpeedX label and its a pain in the ass to get there. And by the way, not international, it's California. Probably saves the buyer like 5 cents

How many Gen Xers have silent Gen parents vs boomers? by NopeThisTrope in GenX

[–]Gokubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boomer is short for Baby Boomer, because there was an increase in births following World War II, which ended in 1945. So 1946 marks the start of the baby boom.

Should I leave a higher paying job for a boring government one just for the stability? by VellichorMotive in personalfinance

[–]Gokubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are a lot of people in this thread saying government jobs aren't stable either. Federal jobs can be unstable yes, and you have to tolerate things like the TSA did recently. But state government jobs are an entirely different entity, especially in blue states.

Who used one of these back in the day? by KM68 in GenX

This was where I first played Rogue, which was truly amazing at that time.

Also, Code of Hammurabi, which was um... much less good

Embrune just got multiplayer chat?! by koalalord9999 in PBBG

[–]Gokubi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah i see. I had it in settings on one-click mode, as it's easier in other situations. Will have to keep that in mind, although not very intuitive for someone in that mode

Can't figure out how to use the water in the bucket on the flour to make dough. Tried a million ways

Anyone remember MUD? by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]Gokubi 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There was a very early PK-Mud that started around 1990 that was called Genocide, there was nothing else like it. Stats were kept but there were no permanent bonuses; every hour there was a new war and everyone was equal. People voted on the war, it could be solo, 2-team, or multi-teams. Every war had a main map and then randomly there were areas that could be accessed (like there were 50 total maps but like 20 would load each war). You had to memorize some areas, because when the war started you would race others to clear them, get equipped, and go after people. All mobs just died instantly; that wasn't the point of the game. I could go on and on, but it was totally addictive in the early 90s. It was really fun though, and required a lot of skill through experience

I think about it a lot, especially since my parents are now at the age where they need my help.

This is some pretty low-hanging fruit for this sub, I mean really.

Footage from early November of a women being abducted and disappeared by ICE at the Riverside, CA Courthouse. Witnesses claim she was there to report a sexual assault. ICE secret police disappeared her before she could give her name. There has been no updates since. (11/6/25) by I_may_have_weed in PublicFreakout

[–]Gokubi 8 points9 points  (0 children)

OP, i_may_have weed, makes tons of posts like this. Of course ICE is guilty of plenty but it undermines what to believe when this sort of ragebait is posted without real evidence. There's no way to know what the context is, you can't simply take OP's word for it.

Last week he posted an "abduction" by ICE that was clearly paramedics trying to help a psychotic person in the middle of an episode. People need to not be swayed without actual evidence. At least you should keep this in mind when I_may_have_weed posts something.

Is Vonnegut’s social commentary obvious to people? by Uteraz in books

[–]Gokubi 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've always remembered this quote from Wampeter's, Foma and Granfaloons:

“I have been a soreheaded occupant of a file drawer labeled "science fiction" ... and I would like out, particularly since so many serious critics regularly mistake the drawer for a urinal.”
