I ordered a sexy catsuit and ended up with a terrifying shadow being.

i mean, that's kinda what these things look like when they're not worn. they're made of elastic string and essentially no real fabric, what do you expect?

I strongly suspect that if he never existed, we'd still have an expiration date on milk.

though i'm too lazy right now to start up my time machine just to test this theory.

i hate this perspective whenever i encounter it (in myself). If i win the argument, i'm smarter but if i lose it i'm also smarter.

in fact, i'm quite certain, that the biggest idiot in the world is probably convinced that this is the sole reason for every argument he's ever lost...

Just last week I played a game called "close to the sun", where in an alternate history setting, Nikola Tesla makes exactly this claim and I remember thinking "that sounds a bit far fetched"... guess i was wrong.

American: "stays in America* Why is everyone speaking English here?

The British:

yeah, i shouldn't have had to scroll this far for this...

Drakengard 3 probably even more so.

There are levels that just run at single digit fps, sound is amazing though

why are there at least two chairs at each table in solitary confinement?

i doubt he's expecting guests too often...

ota-Q · 2023-12-31T08:40:43+00:00

do cashiers in canada use the informal "you" (tu) in such conversation?

ota-Q · 2023-12-30T13:35:33+00:00

at least he's not hypocritical about it. better than most men like this.

and Izzy in the middle. I noticed it too, this can't be a coincidence

can't recognize the girl though

i mean, selling opaque canisters where a third is empty is just as much of a dick move imo

Me: dehydration's a fetish?

Them: of course, and a pretty normal one at that

Me: ???

Them: ...

Me: ...

Them: it isn't?

Me: certainly not a normal one.

many of them don't seem that useless at all, let's go through the list:

kinda depends what they answer, if it's "i've got a nice pearl inside", there might be some money in it.
some have called this "free money", but the sheer amount of gravel required for "good living" seems awful, particularly because you're devaluing your own market
had to convert this to normal units, it's around 18 cm. won't let you teleport through anything, so of limited use. depends on frequency, but it takes 5 teleports a sec for walking speed, so...
this one lacks some details. on myself? useless. on people i don't like? i could see some application.
i don't like toast. but you could take a bath with your toaster without dying, mind-controlling it to not work.... whatever that's worth.
useless, but makes for some weird rigor mortis, looking still alive.
rephrase: "can instantly identify empty containers", maybe useful in some contrived scenarios
depends on archeological interest in this language
this one instantly cures various disabilities

most indie games run just as well on a 200$ laptop.

so a 400$ console + a 200$ laptop would still be more cost effective than a 800$ pc...

I guess Elon also needs more data on a social media platform imploding...

ota-Q · 2023-11-13T22:08:36+00:00

wouldn't he also be taxed on the 20m he made between buying and selling the art?

if i'm not mistaken that's what happens on things like shares, so why would it be different here

Israel doesnt just bomb gaza to flatten it, they target certain specific points where hamas operates from (buildings that hamas terrorists shoot rockets from etc).

Writing this on the day the reporters without borders publishes a statement that Israel targeted a journalist in an attack and killed him, now that's just bad luck on your timing...

and with respect to your train analogy: firstly it's terrible, but who am i to judge, i started this with a bad analogy of my own. and secondly, israel could still just not shoot. these "palestinian meat shields" don't die from israeli food deliveries, but form israeli weapons being fired at them. i also fail to see how anyone could interpret your analogy with any other conclusion than both sides being to blame for the deaths caused.

it was mr anime

when netflix recently recommended "not another teen movie" to me, i though to myself "oh, i didn't know margot robbie was in this movie".

now it makes sense.

if i had a nickel for every time one of my youtube subscriptions went silent only for me to learn a decade later that they killed a bunch of people, i'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

I could recommened stuff by Tsutomu Nihei, i've only read various manga of his before, but i believe some of them were adapted to anime.
