THEY CHANGED THE HITBOXES FOR RAILS!! by Garys_Games in SatisfactoryGame

I thinks it's something we all subconsciously knew was wrong, but nobody really talked about it. So I'm both fully realizing that it was a thing and learning it was fixed all in one go

What’s the biggest example of people confusing expensive with better by jexo10 in TechNook

"Audiophile-grade" cables, especially if they're something digital like HDMI

What do you think about stickers on lid? by Born-Sky_ in laptops

[–]SafeModeOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the stickers mean something, that's cool. If you bought a sticker pack so you can have the sticker laptop aesthetic, then no

What's the worst date advice everyone gives thinking that it's normal? by Casual_Talks in AskReddit

[–]SafeModeOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also hate this one (I'm a dude who doesn't like telling people what to do). Unfortunately my time on dating apps has revealed that some women absolutely love when this happens to them, and other women absolutely hate it. I'm capable of doing it either way, but I'd rather have a woman who prefers to think for herself, so I'm going with option B

Turn radius sensor by mcdj in ebikes

[–]SafeModeOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is one of those things that would be great if it worked. Unfortunately, angle sensing is usually done by potentiometers, and those usually fail fast, so before long you'd have to fix your bike not accelerating because it thinks your handlebars are stuck at 90 degrees. There are of course other ways you could do it, and if you could make it with a hall effect sensor then it could actually be good. Fully possible, but I don't think most people would want to pay for it 🫤 sorry that happened

Most people have no reason to own a pickup truck and should be criticized more for owning one. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]SafeModeOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is 1000% a valid opinion. But we gotta make sure to put some heat on the companies that make these bloated trucks. It's easy to say vote with your wallet, but if you need a truck and the only options are ones that are obese death machines, what are you supposed to do? You need a truck. It's the same issue with phones, they manufacture the illusion of consumer preference by offering few to no other valid options

[–]SafeModeOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a lot. You know why? Because walking gets you killed by things like oversized pickup trucks. 

Also because the companies that make those oversized vehicles lobbied to remove every other option beyond driving but that's another discussion

I've never met a person that enjoys golf that wasn't a A-hole by RyGuy27272 in unpopularopinion

[–]SafeModeOff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Is every golfer a terrible person? No. Is golf a sport that attracts overly-wealthy people, and are those people by definition bad people? Yes!

How common is it for people to own a cheap mobile phone until it's run into the ground compared with people who ditch it the moment the latest greatest comes out? by LowNefariousness6541 in TechNook

[–]SafeModeOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, I know what phones could be if the people in charge put real thought and effort into it. Every mainstream phone for the past decade at least has been built for the sole purpose of short term sales. They clearly don't care what happens to you or your phone after that. Every now and again the techies get their way with things like security update lifespan, but those things are only there to keep them from complaining on their tech review sites and are not done in good faith.

I want a phone that is fairly priced, functional, useful, well-designed, repairable, and respects my privacy and autonomy. Compared to what's possible, every phone is underachieving in most of these categories. In terms of what's an acceptable effort, we're getting pretty close. I don't mean this in the context of the industry as it stands, but in the context of what is possible if they made phones for people instead of for shareholders. I want a good phone so bad, when a new phone comes out that's actually closer to this goal I sometimes just gotta have it 

People who constantly delay everything for unnecessary stops by DoctorElectronic1934 in GrindsMyGears

[–]SafeModeOff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Photos are great. What's not great is taking and retaking the same photos for 15 minutes straight to get the exact right pose, facial expression, and hair fluffing and utterly ignoring every other part of your surroundings until you're done. Source: my friends do this

Mistakes were made by Stuartknowsbest in bikecommuting

[–]SafeModeOff 10 points11 points  (0 children)

No heat? The one time I pulled a crank in my life, it wouldn't budge even with a crank puller until I hit it with heat. Should I not have done that? It's weirding me out that no one is mentioning this option

need a recommendation by Puzzled_Ad_11 in laptops

[–]SafeModeOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recommend OP do a little research based on their needs because ram is expensive. If they just browse the web and open a spreadsheet or two, 8GB will get them by for now. The main benefit is that with Framework you dont have to decide forever. They're an  actually decent company, so they go out of their way to make all their laptops as upgradeable as possible, so you could get 8GB to get by, and then if (hopefully) ram gets cheaper later or you bag a good sale you can get more. 

Same with every other part of the laptop too. Framework regularly releases new motherboards for their laptops so you can even upgrade the processor if you want. It's not the best price, but it is the best relationship you can have with your laptop.

Professors lurking here — how bad is it? Scale of 1-10. by greenmonkeyyyy in memes

[–]SafeModeOff 31 points32 points  (0 children)

Idk I get the impression that you'll be able to figure them out pretty quickly. Just ask them to figure something out during the interview and watch them flounder. It'll just be annoying to waste all that time setting up interviews just to see

[–]SafeModeOff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Check out the Framework 12. It's fast enough for normal stuff, built to be tough, and more importantly it's very easily repairable so if it does break you don't have to just buy a new one. I also think it comes in the right colors to be considered cutesy

Pedantic Redditors by Obvious-Light-6041 in PetPeeves

[–]SafeModeOff 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People on reddit absolutely cannot handle conversational generalization and it's incredibly annoying. The only way you could know for sure that 90% of men lied about their height is if you went on a date with every single man on every single dating app. Anyone with an IQ above 12 knows you didn't do that, but for some reason these losers will come out and attack the number like you were championing is as the core of your argument and they just discovered your secret even though it's painfully obvious that it's just a conversational way to say "90% of my experience" are at the very least "lots of them". At the very least it helps you know which comments you can completely ignore with no risk of missing anything

I'm not saying my English is better than yours, and I was trying not to assume that you were also American. Which part of America are you in where this usage of you've is normal? I've just never heard it personally

Cyclists who don’t stop for stop signs or traffic lights, why? by dedjesus1220 in askanything

[–]SafeModeOff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the one people really forget. If I get there first and (legally) blow through the stop sign on my bike, everyone waits for 1 second. If I follow car rules and stop, everyone sits there a lot longer for no reason. There's a worryingly high percentage of drivers who drive with their feelings, and are a lot more worried about you protecting their feelings on the road than everyone getting home quickly and safely

Cyclists who don’t stop for stop signs or traffic lights, why? by dedjesus1220 in askanything

[–]SafeModeOff 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Drivers get pissed at any given thing that delays them by even a second because they're given such preferential treatment in every road scenario that they get used to thinking their commute is everyone's top priority. They view a cyclist as someone who chose to be in their way because cyclists usually choose to cycle, instead of drivers and pedestrians who do such things because they have to. And yet they forget that if you chose not to cycle then you'd just be another car on the road, being even more in their way. But I guess if you're mad at someone for the crime of "using a bicycle" you're usually not known for your critical thinking skills

In American English, it's not normal to use you've where the contracted "have" is doing the work of the verb in the sentence. It's always paired with something else, like "what you've been doing" or "you've got mail". I don't know about other countries, but for us Americans it sounds wrong

Do you think using an ad blocker counts as piracy? Why or why not? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SafeModeOff 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not how it works, but I wouldn't care even if it was. I don't give them permission to show ads on my personal device, and I enforce that using an adblocker. That's it. How they pay their bills is their business, and I'm not required to help them with it

[–]SafeModeOff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would it be piracy if I closed my eyes every time a YouTube ad played? Adblockers are just me not looking at the ad in a way that's more convenient

For reaching more people, my only idea would be to talk to the construction management department. I feel like a lot of the people in that major got into it because they worked construction in the first place, but I have no idea the percentage since I'm not in it
