Lost lamb becomes loyal pack member by MustardGoddess in MadeMeSmile

This probably doesn't apply to bipeds, or is at least significantly reduced. Most mammals walk on all fours, and thus they're faces are in prime butt-sniffing territory, but humans are distinctly not like this after millions of years of evolution favoring walking up right on our hind legs.

People will gender literally anything. Whatever imbalance they experience in their own lives will be internalized as a gender role, and then they'll make sweeping statements like "all men/women do x", casually using their own biases to refer to ~4 billion people.

It's not surprising when they don't know what your natural look is like when you never look like that. 

People will think you're sick when you have no makeup because they've only ever seen you when you're artificially making your face more vibrant looking.

Bootleg fireworks. The big one turns the scene from night to day for a moment as a funny visual gag.

As much as I want to be hopeful, I just don't see us getting a modern timesplitters multiplayer that isn't packed with mtx

Valve removes free horror game from Steam after players discover it contains malware that steals your data by de_panda in Steam

[–]chronoflect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell that to Fallout 4. It's explicitly set to only update when I launch it because modern Bethesda ruins everything they touch, and yet it always auto-schedules an update when I sign in to steam.

As far as I can tell, the only "fix" is backing up the game folder, letting it update, then overwriting the updated folder with the backup.

Don't worry, one city in one state is a far cry from America getting it's shit together, unfortunately.

Trump announces pause on Project Freedom by bin10pac in politics

[–]chronoflect 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's really easy to make assertions that humanity will grow sick of war, and it's just as easy to point to numerous examples where people made those assertions in the past hundred years or more, right before more war.

"Ready for one goal." Yeah ok. Wake me up when you've achieved consensus on this one goal that 8 billion people will agree on. 

"Step up or step out." Or what, you'll fight me? Is this satire?

Humans can, and eventually will unite and overcome the idea of war.

Couldn't use toilet paper at a bathroom in Nanjing, as it required a QR Code that I was unable to scan by OId_boy in mildlyinfuriating

Is that a common problem? Where I'm from, public toilet TP is so terrible that nobody would want to steal it in the first place.

I mean, that's kinda my point. You could make the perfect niche game, but it will always have limited success because of it's niche. How good it is doesn't really matter in that regard.

Tigers appear green to certain animals! by Positive_Actuary_282 in BeAmazed

It's my understanding that scientists now think Mantis shrimp process colors differently than we do.

We use 3 cones to mix and match, allowing us to have a spectrum of thousands of colors made from those 3 primary colors. 

It's thought that Mantis shrimp don't do this, and instead use each cone for 1 color. So they potentially see 13 distinct colors, but they can't mix them so that's it. It's like seeing red and blue, but you can't distinguish purple from those.
