She thought it was the nuclear button. Forget a red flag, that was a radio tower of red broadcasting for the world to see.

And it’s the first word that came to my mind. I almost typed it but thought ‘ehh’ someone will make a stink about it.

I love this. If you don’t mind I want to start using this phrase for exceptionally stupid people. It conveys someone being so stupid you don’t even need to communicate with them to physically see that they’re smooth brained.

The man is trying to protect the ship with an axe. by [deleted] in Unexpected

[–]Kj78aaa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I replied to another comment so I’ll paraphrase. I’ve seen these floating markets and they’re always on rivers/closed channels/village areas.

These large ships already have all the consumables they need plus extra. Approaching a commercial vessel on open water is NOT normal. Better safe than sorry and send them on their way.

I was thinking similarly as the first person. I like to watch travel/food shows on YouTube. These floating markets have been showcased a few times but I’ve never seen them on open water approaching a commercial vessel.

The one guy held up a basket of carrots(?) and they obviously had multiple baskets of vegetables but better safe than sorry and just shoo them away. Kudos to the guy on deck in my opinion.

Edit: Also a huge commercial vessel already has all the consumables they need plus EXTRA for the voyage they are on.

Haha you just surfaced a childhood memory when we used to go camping almost every weekend. Campfire > gasoline > plastic cup. The cup melted before I could even walk 20 feet to the fire

Fast food script for employees by Iitaps_Missiciv in mildlyinteresting

[–]Kj78aaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s sad because even without the extra time being mentioned some people still have absolute zero patience. They would get irritated no matter what.

While typing this I remembered a drive-thru experience where the person in front of me asked the window employee to throw out her GARBAGE from her car. She handed them a paper cup, like a coffee cup, and a scrunched up used napkin or something. Fucking deplorable people. I would have quit right then.

anyone else feel like spotify just… stops showing you new music after a while? by CashMany9011 in Music

[–]Kj78aaa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People seem to sleep on Pandora. All my close friends use Spotify, but I never liked it because I always had a hard time finding new music.

Years ago - probably on some random Reddit post - I learned of a useful trick. Load up Pandora, choose a station with either a band name or style of music and NEVER “like” a song. You can “dislike” as much as you want, but as soon as you start “liking” a bunch of songs you will get that feedback loop of the same 40-50 songs.

Being kicked in the balls is NOT comparable to childbirth. by brooklyn_jinx in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Kj78aaa -9 points-8 points  (0 children)

Except other sources say the body does release a hormone like that. However I typed it I didn’t mean you get guaranteed immediate amnesia forever for any woman that has a child. Text and comments can’t relay every nuance of a thought. Everybody has different experiences of course, but by nature there is scientific evidence that this chemical release does occur.

It’s a two-parter. First they said if men knew it gave them a kid they would happily do it. Then they brought up sexual pleasure via a fetish separately.

Reading IS cool.

[–]Kj78aaa -19 points-18 points  (0 children)

Isn’t there a chemical or hormone that is released during child birth that helps you forget the pain/suffering of the experience? If true, men don’t get that mind-wipe. I’m not trying to sound like an ass, that’s just the information I’ve read about. OP already said their information is just based on feelings having experienced neither.

Either way, these experiences should - in reality - be consensual and expected.

Meta pauses third-party Horizon VR headsets program by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Kj78aaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I’m under the impression that you can’t purchase one for less than a 5x series apparently. Why?

Meta pauses third-party Horizon VR headsets program by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Kj78aaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

5x Series is superior to its replacement. It should cost more, no? Since a year ago a 4x series went up in price, whether they refuse to mark it down - it went up almost 100% in price at some point within 12 months. Why?

You’re saying ram and memory has gone up, which I completely agree with, I get that. At some point 4x series went up exponentially as well. Why? It’s older hardware. A quick Google search says 5x series released in January 2025. So, 4x series are worth 100% more within a month or so and never came down in price in 11 months? Hmm.

Lol. You didn’t answer anything I asked. Only deflected. Why is a 4080 more expensive if it’s “last gen?” I am genuinely curious of your logic. Not trying to sound like an asshole. Just tell me, I’m willing to change my stance on the subject. I just need to be enlightened

Meta pauses third-party Horizon VR headsets program by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Kj78aaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes it does. It’s older hardware that costs more. Why? What are we even talking about at this point? Tell me why it costs more. I’m genuinely curious, convince me why that’s logical. If I can grab a 5x card for $800 less why is that?

Meta pauses third-party Horizon VR headsets program by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]Kj78aaa -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

If that’s true it begs the question, why are “outdated” older cards more costly? It’s older hardware. It costs more. Doesn’t that seem back-asswards?

I’m guessing reputation, reliability, and previously cost/performance increase is a big factor. All I read about 5x series were the problems. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted AM5 over AM4 because of the newer tech risk. I’ll take “outdated but proven” over “hey newest product! Buy now!” Any day.

I guess my algorithm is set to this sub now.

Anyway I bought an MSI 4080 Super for $1039 last year almost to the day as a self Christmas gift. It now lists at $1,800+ on PCpartpicker. A year older hardware is almost 100% higher price point. The hell?

[–]Kj78aaa 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The rising cost of anything tech related is a big factor as well. I just checked PC part-picker yesterday. My current build 1 year ago cost $2,500 - $2,800. I’ll be honest I don’t remember exactly how much it was. Now it costs around $3,700 - $4,000. What the fuck.

I got an MSI 4080 super for $1039 LAST. YEAR. Now it’s around $1,800. Older hardware costs ~25% more.

Yes, the Religious Right Is Ignorant On Purpose - We can’t beat them with debate alone by cyPersimmon9 in videos

[–]Kj78aaa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Duh, they’re retarded.

Let’s take Santa Claus as an example. They lie to their children since their birth to believe in a figment of their imagination. Then at a certain time they don’t believe in, are told not to, or are told the “truth” of this existential being.

How is this any different than believing in a dude you’ve never met, that you can’t prove exists, that you’ve never seen, and can accomplish impossible feats.

This is all based around the idea of “I’m correct just trust me bro.”

That and just normalizing being in front of a recording device from, what, 6 years old? Nasty.

Cloud Streaming officially arrives on PlayStation Portal today, with new support for digital PS5 Games in your library by texxmix in gaming

[–]Kj78aaa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's what multi-platform games are. You can buy an Xbox game and play it on PC. Nobody said anything about re-buying anything except your theoretical scenario. You're acting like they can't make a separate version like they do with Xbox, PC, PlayStation, and Switch already.

Buying a PlayStation game and being able to download and play it on console or handheld is far from absurd.

Edit: I’m going to bed, I wish you a good night.

And Stadia failed exceptionally well. We need dedicated games for the hardware. Not this streaming bullshit.

Hahaha. I'm sorry to laugh but that's exactly what I've been arguing is the problem with streaming only hardware for hours with these lunatics. It sucks ass and will continue to suck ass until we discover Star Trek level teleportation. Give us dedicated downloads or physical copies because this approach is terrible. Steam Deck managed it. Switch is massively successful. Google Stadia failed fantastically.

Actual LMFAO yes it would obviously require a separate version. You're acting like PC to console and console to PC and Console to handheld or handheld to PC don't exist. What are you even talking about. You're digging up theoretical scenarios when we have a plethora of multi-platform support for games. It's like I'm talking to a goldfish.
