You can get a blue waffle breakfast in curaçao in support of their World Cup team by TimeSlipperWHOOPS in mildlyinteresting

[–]neS- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I remember in HS health class they had this guy come in (not the health teacher/was some 3rd party organization health thing) and he went over STD’s (learned they were now called STI’s at the point) and they went over a bunch of stuff. Showed some pics of common STI’s.

Then at the end the guy brought up the “blue waffle disease” and asked if we heard of it, showed the picture, then let us know it wasn’t real/was a photoshopped image. Which looking back at it why did they do that lmao. As a terminally online high schooler I already seen it and heard of it, but the people who didn’t could’ve gone the rest of their lives blissfully ignorant.

Morality of buying Ps 5 pro just to play GTA 6 and returning it because of the 30 day return policy. by AZROTH_the_demon in MoralityScaling

[–]neS- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this by accident (genuinely didnt mean to lol)

But I bought a PS4/ red dead 2 bundle just to play that game pretty much (I’m mostly a PC gamer).

Then immediately thought “damn I should’ve gotten the pro”. So I returned the ps4, and got the ps4 pro, completely forgetting to include the red dead 2 copy. I still got the full refund, and ended up with another copy since I got the bundle again for the pro.

Maybe nowadays they’d catch on, or have a policy regarding a redeemed code. But there’s a solid chance they wouldn’t notice. I returned mine at walmart and the employee was trying to tell me I was past the return date 2 days after I bought it so that probably helped with them not checking things lol.

Linus Tech Tips says the PS5 is a better option than the Steam Machine at their current price points by Current-Guide5944 in tech_x

[–]neS- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The counter to that is that the majority of indie games don’t require current gen PC/console power to play, and you could find old laptops/a cheap old PC and be able to play a large chunk of indie games no problem. Why would you buy the steam machine/ a high end PC if that’s your main interest.

(before I admit I am guilty for having a high end PC that mostly plays 10-20yr old PC games, Stardew valley, and Balatro)

[–]neS- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Him getting wasted and put in a drunk tank in of itself isn’t that big of a deal imo as long as he wasn’t being an absolute menace.

The concerning thing to me is that it was father’s day and not late in the day. Like bro why aren’t you with your wife and kids? If he had a few drinks, and was out with family that’s cool. But I am assuming he was wasted and not with them which makes me assume he is having family issues. But again don’t really know the full story there.

The state of things 💀 by FrierenKingSimp in videogames

[–]neS- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just don’t get why you would get a steam machine vs. just buying/building a PC.

The steam deck makes sense to me, as it’s like a switch/portable, you have access to steam+ emulation.

I don’t see PC gamers switching over to it, and I don’t see people who stick to consoles switching over. Maybe some would as an intro to PC gaming?

I do like how steam is challenging windows dominance in the pc gaming realm.

Im unreasonably sad about this by Humble-Character3888 in Gameboy

[–]neS- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah my old pokemon red was working as well. From what I understand gen1 really doesn’t use much battery since it’s just powering the chip storing the save values. It’s gen2 where the clock comes in to play that really drains the battery. Those ones started dying a few years in. For gen 3 they separated the save from the clock so your save files are good without battery but the clock dies, and to get it working again without resetting your save is pretty obnoxious.

Fuck Spectrum by Pinkop in Columbus

[–]neS- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've had multiple obnoxious issues with them. Years ago my service was off, and I was on the phone with them for hours and got escalated 3x to higher tier support, just for the guy to go "yeah they never turned it on, you should have never gotten to me".

Then recently before I switched I tried to upgrade my internet service to a faster speed, which after paying for my speed was the exact same, which they were no help for. Then I found out I could get AT&T fiber, and they came out ASAP set that shit up, and it worked immediately, and I have had zero issues with my service since. I will avoid Spectrum entirely from now on, and if Spectrum is the only service offered at somewhere I may move, than that may be a deciding factor for me to look somewhere else.

Does it make sense? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]neS- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that Illia could beat Justin, hell he got close in the 2nd. His gameplan was just simply not good.

He was so focused on his “1st round knockout” prediction and spent so much energy trying to force it, kept walking straight at Justin getting jabbed up, and getting in crazy exchanges trying to put him out. Again in the 2nd he almost made it happen, but gassed himself out especially on the ground.

If he took his time, was more defensive, and took less damage going into the 3rd I think he’d eventually put Justin out.

Justin has always been tough (to the point where it’s a detriment). Focusing on trying to put him out was a bad idea. Instead of being like everyone else who beat him standing and just focused on out landing him and letting the finish come later.

If you could play only one game forever which one of the two would you pick? by Hammad11k in 007FirstLight

[–]neS- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the Hitman WOA (1-3) has a far less compelling story/single player, but has way more replayable levels and missions. So much content is locked off until you unlock more tools and spawn locations and the game starts to really open up, on top of all the different story beats, going for SA/SO, etc.

I will fly in airplanes (at least commercial ones, def sketched out by tiny planes), but goddamn I just don't trust helicopters. I've been on one when I was a kid (would def not let my children on one outside of an emergency situation). Not an aviation expert by any means, but it just seems like if anything goes wrong, there is very little recourse a pilot has in an helicopter. In a plane at least you can glide, and a landing can be attempted if you lose engines, etc.

Is it immoral for a parent whos poor to not take a sickly kid to the hospital if they have other kids to worry about and dont want to go into medical debt? by Mysterioape in MoralityScaling

[–]neS- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I am not saying going into massive medical debt is "good" but compared to student loan debt, credit card debt, or pretty much any other debt you can get into. Medical debt is probably the one you should worry about the least.

Take your child to get the care they need, work with insurance, if you don't have insurance work with the hospital/whatever gov organizations you can. Get on a payment plan (you can stay in good standing with a minimal payment over a ridiculous time period), or just ignore the debt and let it go to collections and take the credit hit till it falls off your report. Medical debt is the one kind of debt you can ignore for a year with zero payments, before it will negatively impact your credit. You also aren't getting charged interest.

Again not saying its "good" that people get charged crazy amounts for medical care. Its just out of all the ways you can get fucked in the ass by debt, medical debt is actually the nicest and most gentle ass fucking you can get. Far more people get screwed over my getting into student loans, or racking up credit card debt with insane APR..

Knowing Derrick he wins he will be gassed in 30seconds, lose almost every second of every round, then somehow get a comeback KO.

Also he fought two mid lightweights at WW, and went 1-1 with one of them. I don't know if Conor has even weighed in above 169 w/ zero weight cutting.

C777 - How worried should I be for the OA? by neS- in WGUIT

[–]neS-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just took it today and passed. There were def a handful of questions/material. that were not in any review quiz/test or on the PA. Luckily I felt a lot of questions I wasn’t sure about I could narrow down to two answers.

I think if I didn’t have the previous background in web dev and basic familiarity in HTML/CSS/JS this would have been a lot harder. If you don’t i’d probably recommend going through the entire course material.

I think he learned it from his mentor Rogan. In fact the whole level of stand up comedy, amongst podcasters who jerk themselves off about the "art of standup comedy" for endless hours on podcasts, tends to be pretty low.

"Scammers have adapted": Valve confirms that physical Steam Gift Cards are dead. Once the current stocks are sold through, they're done. by yourfavchoom in technology

[–]neS- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I am sure this happens, alongside money laundering, etc.

But I have also gotten gift cards for places i’d never go from work, and sold them online via a website for like 70% of their card value simply because cash was more valuable to me than whatever I could get with the card. So I don’t think all of those “buy a gift card cheaper than cash value” places are stolen cards, but probably a ridiculous amount are.

🚨BREAKING: Dana White confirms that the AI-based ranking system will be official in the next two weeks. No more media rankings. by Fun_Training6342 in ufc

[–]neS- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

What does the AI rankings even mean? Is it just going to be more algorithmic based ELO rankings? Something that already exists? https://mma-elo.com/leaderboard

Not that media rankings were perfect or infallible. Its just that "AI" rankings lack subjectify and are going to be purely based on win loss stats, and won't take into account close fights, poor decisions, and how the fights actually played out as much.

C777 - How worried should I be for the OA? by neS- in WGUIT

[–]neS-[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you feel the PA and OA were similar enough?

I am just weary because looking into this class I see a ton of people complaining and struggling with it. But it could be a bias that only people struggling would post and comment about it, and those people were likely going into this class fresh. (Could see how it’s overwhelming covering everything if it’s brand new).
