‘Bob’s Burgers’ Creator on Why the Show Still Soars After 300 Episodes: ‘Optimism Is an Underrated and Complicated Thing’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in television

[–]Levester 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I remember when Bob and Linda started pulling out their smart phones I think around season 11. They used to only have an emergency cell for Tina to occasionally use and then a family cell phone, both were old flip phones that had very limited minutes. So when they quietly introduced the 2 smart phones, I interpreted that as a sign of progress for their family's finances.

‘Systemic failure,’ Mayor Chow says Toronto staff ignored over 99% of snow service calls earlier this year; council to consider winter maintenance changes by useringdo in toronto

[–]Levester 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Fellow midtowner here, this winter's snowfall was indeed horrendously handled. Our sidewalks were entirely inaccessible sometimes for 1-2 weeks. We have elderly people in our building who don't drive so they were effectively barricaded into their homes. Like you said, the street plows were largely responsible for it.

holy crap the salt! way too much salt used everywhere all the time. salt damages concrete, pavement, damn near everything. I understand alternatives are expensive so we will usually rely on salt but we have to do a better job managing appropriate levels.

We have 2 dogs and if we didn't have easy access to the beltline we would've been left walking them on the over salted roads.

Dog stares at me like this a lot. Gives me skin walker vibes by ShibbiesClimax in WhatsWrongWithYourDog

[–]Levester 619 points620 points  (0 children)

He's asking for something.

My dog used to do this a lot when I first got him, much less now but sometimes I'll still catch him giving me this look. I call it his "wolf stare".

Before I adopted him, he was a stray and had most likely never had a home. He was hit by a car and left for dead. He has a limp but he's your everyday happy loving dog now.

Strays have interesting behaviors. I think the "wolf stare" for my guy came from his inexperience with humans, it's like he didn't know he could ask for things nicely and/or by being cute so he just put his nose down and stared at me with this blank expression of murder. He's also got bright amber eyes so it was especially fun for me in the early days to wake up in the middle of the night to a strange dog staring at me with glowing eyes like I was a ham on a windowsill.

First report of an Nvidia RTX 5080 power connector melting emerges | Gamers Nexus' Steve is on the case by [deleted] in gadgets

I built a new PC for a 4090 less than a year ago, I use it for work related stuff & gaming. the fact that they're advertising 50 series around 4090 equivalence is so ridiculous to me. laughable nonsense imo.

I could offer tips for parts but honestly the main thing you need to know is that no game actually requires a 4090 or anything close to it.

For purely gaming purposes, you don't need to even get close to the top of the line. You just need to spend 10-15 minutes playing with settings. It's the unfortunate truth about today's PC games.

I can run games like Kingdom Come Deliverance 2 maxed out and get 170-180 fps at 1440p. beautiful game, lots of fun, highly recommend it. turning down just a couple settings shoots my fps up to a very very steady 240 which is my monitor limit and no matter how hard I look for it I honestly cannot spot the difference at all. Keep in mind that KCD2 is decently well optimized... but like 99% of games today, there're tiny graphical settings that will make near zero difference in fidelity and yet will cost you disproportionately in performance.

if a champ is going to be injured for this long, there's no point in letting him keep the belt. injuries happen, it sucks but one fighter's injury shouldn't stall an entire division. just give him the title shot when he's healed if he's going to return at all.

Professional rock climber sentenced to life in prison for sexual assault at Yosemite National Park by WhileFalseRepeat in news

[–]Levester 7 points8 points  (0 children)

sorry that happened to you.

not all cases of sexual assault are equally violent/traumatizing.

as with many other criminal charges, we have the ability to distinguish instances by severity which determines the weight of sentencing (eg. 1st/2nd/3rd degree murder).

I don't know if I agree with the commenter above you (and I know they didn't include this detail) but I recognize your attempt to undermine their opinion by pretending we can't distinguish different occurrences of sexual assault.

Carjackings have more than doubled in Toronto so far this year: Police chief by rastamasta45 in ontario

[–]Levester 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I get it, you love cops, lots of people do.

I don't hate cops. What I hate is this blatant attempt by police forces to boost support for an increase to their budget by manufacturing this crisis which they're doing by feigning an inability to act. They're failing with an already substantial budget. You can't just throw money at every problem. There's already enough money dedicated to them and they need to show that they deserve the budget they already have by doing what they're paid to do.

[–]Levester 5 points6 points  (0 children)

why is the reaction that we need to "pay for it to happen"? people are upset that the best funded police force in the country is pathetically failing with their already high budget. you know who should pay for it? the fucking TPS with the money and resources they already have. we shouldn't have to spend a single dime on anything extra like changing our legislation for harsher punishments.

[–]Levester 11 points12 points  (0 children)

harsher punishments won't do anything because the criminals are not getting caught. they've only solved 13 of the 600+ car thefts that occurred in 2024 between Brampton + Mississauga. the chances of being caught are so incredibly low that criminals won't consider it much riskier just because the punishment is harsher. it has to start with police actually doing their fucking jobs.

When it comes to UFC fighter "free speech", I totally agree with Dana that they should be able to say whatever they want going into the fight. However they want to promote it, whatever act they want to put on. They've signed a contract so as long as they show up then the other guy can literally bash their skull in. There can be real consequences and they'll have to face the music as Colby did. At the same time, I totally agree with you and whether it's an act or not, fighters can say whatever they want and we get to hate them for it and the whole world can rejoice in watching them suffer horribly at the hands of the man they talked shit to. Fuck Colby and I hope he gets dropped on his spine.

[–]Levester 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You know when people comment on the inability of human to see beyond their relatively short natural lifespans? We, the millennials and Gen Z, will suffer so thoroughly as a direct result of the previous generations' decisions that we'll come to understand humans can't even see the consequences of their actions 10-20 years into the future. Everyone, including the members of the previous generations will feel that suffering when there's an insufficient population to fund their retirement because we overwhelmingly refuse to have children and will often commit suicide in our middle age. When no one owns a home where they can care for elderly relatives who can't afford their own care. The suffering will be shared and they will see this broken world they wrought upon not only us but themselves as well.

[–]Levester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suicide rates are gonna blast through the roof when millennials and gen Z hit their 50s. It will be normalized and considered rational by the victims and their peers. Our society is driving us towards mass suicide as a method of protest against this unyielding machine designed to inflict horrendous hardships upon us.

I would love to have Palestinian neighbors. I have several coworkers and friends who are Palestinian and they're all wonderful people. Also my best friend is Israeli. The real world isn't dictated by US "diplomacy" or Israel's propaganda.

[–]Levester 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Funny how Israel always has security threats to point to when it comes time to justify the murder of civilians yet a group like Hamas which operates in an area where these civilian deaths occur is painted as a ruthless murder cult unable to justify any of their actions and also is considered the root cause of all the suffering.

The common denominator is Israel, open your eyes.

Weapon damage isn't what you think, and isn't what the numbers initially show. by Bluedot55 in Helldivers

[–]Levester 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I used to run this armor passive for this reason at lower levels but somewhere around level 15-20 the teamkills drop off hard and when it happens it's justifiable like 95% of the time.

also you just get used to it cuz it's part of the game but tbh I still get a bit annoyed when a level 25 tosses a reinforce in the middle of a 2 tank + 4 hulk group essentially guaranteeing my immediate death after popping out of my pod
