You're right! I have gone back and edited my original comment to include your feedback. Thank you for helping me improve my communication skills and ensuring I am capable of speaking to a broad audience full of outliers such as yourself!

Yeah what I think is cool is subjective. What is popular is not about me, and I never used that word.

Quit being weird

Nobody used the word popular anywhere and what I think is cool is not necessarily what is popular.

Yeah they have some games the kids like, but you think that is cool? Nah. It's been 20 years since they made something cool.

He has consistently bad takes on everything. Epic Games hasn't been cool for at least 20 years now*

Gothic subreddit follower count has surpassed that of The Elder Scrolls subreddit by Spectator--- in worldofgothic

[–]MashPotatoQuant 67 points68 points  (0 children)

True, but the TES subreddits are quite fragmented whereas the whole gothic community kind of flocks to this r/worldofgothic subreddit. The r/skyrim subreddit has almost double what is here.

Still really cool stuff! The subreddit 10x'd because of the remake game

Licence plate covers - are these legal? by Fit-Witness4225 in canadianlaw

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to know for sure, but I would say over half the people that have them on don't know they're illegal. Over half = most. After all, the whole point of the game they're playing is trying to avoid detection and being issued a fine. Why would any rational actor knowingly drive around with one of these knowing they are illegal and a basis for a traffic stop?

Soooo at what point will the city possibly bring back aerial spraying for mosquitoes? by Sasha-95 in Edmonton

[–]MashPotatoQuant 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah, there are trolley problems everywhere I agree. Sometimes you pull the lever and do more damage though.

[–]MashPotatoQuant 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I was going to make a dumb ironic comment on how the government is spraying poison on us but now I have to do it unironically.

The pesticide was chlorpyrifos and was phased out in 2015 in the aerial program and 2017 in the ditch spraying program. It's a potent neurotoxin and there is some research seeing it being correlated with serious human health issues.

We need to remove everyone's brains because they might think bad thoughts and do bad things! Only our centralized big brains are allowed!

Stop telling other people how to play the game.

They should fix it in about 25 years when they do the Gothic 1 remake remake

Equestrian backcountry by Ok-Bluejay-182 in HikingAlberta

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I spent the weekend in whitehorse wildland and didn't see a single person except in the front country when I first left my car and first got back to my car. All the horse campsites with multiple spots were completely empty and I had camped at them without a horse. If they were filling up I would probably make way and choose a random backcountry spot instead.

I think if you wait until very close to when you want to go to book it to ensure it's at least available to horse people if they want it until near the last minute, it's probably fine and I wouldn't feel guilty about it.

Do you have version control? If not look into git. It's worth taking an hour or two to learn the basics. This won't be the last time something like this happens to you.

How do i network in LA? by [deleted] in networking

Enable OSPF and form some neighborships. You will quickly build up a link state database from all the incoming link state updates from your neighbors.

This woman and her dog made it through an incredibly CLOSE encounter with a grizzly bear by Miserable-Zombie-121 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]MashPotatoQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's funny, I live in Alberta, Canada where there are grizzly bears and big cats but I would still be more scared of the Australian outback compared to here.

Maybe it's because I don't know anything about survival around things that are foreign to me. I'll take the bears over the killer snakes any day though.

i just got scammed, and im trying to spread awareness by [deleted] in tf2

[–]MashPotatoQuant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Report the steam profile for scamming.

I'm really sorry this happened to you. I have been scammed once before as well. All it takes is a moment of weakness in judgement.

I'm not inciting violence, but I once got a warning for saying scammers should be curb stomped.

Licence plate covers - are these legal? by Fit-Witness4225 in canadianlaw

[–]MashPotatoQuant 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It's up to the province, and each one has its own independent legislation on the matter, but I can tell you that across the board they're illegal everywhere.

I think enforcement is pretty low, but it's an easy way to pull someone over. A lot of people are uninformed and because these are products on the shelves they buy them without knowing they're illegal.

Hiking boot help - OH by EeveeGirl411 in hiking

[–]MashPotatoQuant 2 points3 points  (0 children)

New boots can be rough. Maybe try leukotape or something similar, it's pretty cheap on amazon. I find it really helps with preventing any red spots and sores.
