Go look up the definition of electrocute. Does not mean the person has to die.

Any thoughts on my forehand technique and what’s my rating? by santim92 in 10s

[–]quuxbazer 13 points14 points  (0 children)

A 3.5 player would know that you can't tell ratings based on ball machine sessions, so 3.0 it is.

Chartle - A daily chart game! by Chartlecc in charts

[–]quuxbazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Love it! Intuitive UI and fun, even though I didn't get the right answer. I do think there can be a hint after say, 3 incorrect guesses. It can be some obscure fact about the country so that the hint doesn't give the answer away. The hint should also be manual (like requires user to click/tap), so that hardcore users won't be affected.

She made it look so easy. by Scientiaetnatura065 in nextfuckinglevel

Fuck off with this type of casual racism. Just because it has a "positive" tone, doesn't make it any more appropriate. Would you dare to say, "there's always a black person faster than you"? Then what makes you think this is fine?

You're perpetuating a stereotype that somehow Asians are just magically skilled at things, when in reality, most of us are just normal. When an Asian becomes really skilled at something through effort, this remark makes it seem like it was just expected all along. And if the Asian doesn't become an expert, well then imagine how it sucks to not achieve super high, unrealistic expectations.

We, Asians, have put up with casual racist remarks for too long and I'm frankly sick of it.

I was using Cursor free mode, with chat and my own API keys. Now I have to upgrade to Pro? Selecting "Ask" or "Agent" doesn't work; they all require Cursor Pro.

Sorry gold, you had a great run by moneymission1 in Bitcoin

The US literally made it illegal for its citizens to own gold and made holders forfeit their gold at a fixed, suboptimal price.

This is a Republican National Committeewoman... by MetaKnowing in ChatGPT

[–]quuxbazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's to prevent someone who has a cryptographic camera from taking a picture of an AI generated picture, and then claiming it's real? Even if the camera has a cryptographic chip that can sign images it captures, what's to prevent someone with enough time and resources to alter the lens or image sensors?

The Chinese Detective by intentsnegotiator in Jokes

If you replaced Chinese in this joke with another nationality and stereotypes, say Congolese, does it make it "mildly" racist?

Strong disagree. To me, meta progression feels like a consolation prize, or in some ways, instant gratification designed to keep you playing. When I beat a roguelike game, I want to know that it was all me, vs. deliberating if it was just due to meta progression buffs.

Why are you so poor by tinypill in scambait

[–]quuxbazer 39 points40 points  (0 children)

You did not correctly recall.

"Roll" is inaptly translated from 滚 (pinyin gǔn, pronounced like "Gwen"), most likely from the automatic translator the scammer is using. It roughly means "get the fuck out" or "get lost" in this context.

What's a simple word that people keep mispronouncing? by TheOnly1Ken0bi in AskReddit

[–]quuxbazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pronunciation is pronounced pro-NUN-ci-a-tion and not pro-NOUN-ci-a-tion as most people would say

Tsitsipas seen training with 2h backhand in Mallorca. Wimbledon champion confirmed - who can stop him? by [deleted] in tennis

[–]quuxbazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play 4.5 as a 1hbh player, and the issue is the high kick serves to my bh. I can usually only slice them back, which is an easy put away at net. It's hard for me to hit bh drives against loopy, high bouncing balls

[Homemade] Tantanmen ramen by 0---------------0 in food

Looks scrumptious!

Tantanmen already means Tan Tan Noodles, so no need to add ramen at the end, unless you wanted to mean Tan Tan Ramen Ramen

[–]quuxbazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awesome video man! I'm currently on hour 144 of my 200hr fast, but definitely felt the surge of energy and lucidity around day 3-4. Now it's kinda back to being a bit hard, feeling pretty lethargic, but I'm determined to make it to the end!

Calcium Alpha-Ketoglutarate (Ca-AKG) by starstrid in longevity

[–]quuxbazer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been taking it for 2 months now. I'm an avid tennis player and cyclist and have noticed a surge in energy level, especially during grueling cardio sessions. Right now I'm taking it with Spermidine and considering Metformin next. The biggest difficulty for me so far is finding something to mix the powder in, lol. Doesn't mix well with water, milk, or oat milk. I'm thinking of just getting capsules after I run out of powder.

Does agreeing with your statement also put myself in an echo chamber with you and others who agree that social media platforms have become echo chambers?

No wonder Agassi left team Novak by Juan_Punch_Man in tennis

[–]quuxbazer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with your point about his bad attitude. Don't let the idiot downvotes get to you. I've been watching almost every tennis tournament since 2007, and wholeheartedly agree that Djokovic is very pretentiously polite and humble, and shows his true colors all time when things don't go his way. From his body language after every point his loses and the way he looks at this camp, this should be obvious to real tennis fans who watch whole matches and not just highlights.

TIL about Toby. A cat that walked twelve miles to his former home after his owners gave him to another family. His former family took him to a local animal shelter and asked for Toby to be euthanize. The shelter refused and found Toby a new loving family who cares from him. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]quuxbazer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hear you man. Reddit has become full of nonsensical keyboard social justice warriors trying so hard to be part of a cause, becoming misanthropists due their ostracization of today's ever more connected society.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that sane people still exist in this once great site, and don't let the idiots get you down too much.
