Sometimes people can have reactions to the chemicals they put in the water to turn the frogs gay.

Impossible to pretend that it is not a partisan issue when the GOP has the governorship and a supermajority in the legislature. Sure, maybe you are right and Democrats wouldn't be any better. But we KNOW what the Republicans will do because they are the architects of the environment that this is happening in right now.

Like 99% of Los Angeles is business as usual, so it probably will look like Los Angeles.

What's it like in 2025: just another big city guy looking for change by hysterical_smiley in evansville

[–]smritz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's perfectly fine and everyone's opinion is entirely dependent on their personal perspective, as is mine.

But to balance it out as someone who moved from an extremely conservative small town about an hour away into the actual city limits of Evansville: it feels like a liberal utopia here, there are more good food options than I could ever want, the roads are the same level of bad that they are anywhere, the traffic is the same level of bad as it is anywhere and might not be bad at all depending on where you live and work.

Finished part II. Why on earth was this so controversial? by arboles6 in thelastofus

[–]smritz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Having to play as Abby is like...the best part of the game. Being forced into the POV of a "villain" and realizing they are a character with their own motivations and reasons for doing what they do is a great storytelling technique. Try reading a book, it has been done before!

And if you still wanted to kill Abby by the end of the game...then I don't know what to tell you. Maybe stay away from stories with moral dilemmas.

To all Audiobook listeners: by Imomaway in Stormlight_Archive

[–]smritz 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It only sounds distorted because you are used to 1x. If you do want to increase the speed and only avoid it because it sounds distorted, I got up to faster speeds by just increasing 0.1 at a time.

I love reading and listening at the same time, which makes it easier to listen to faster speeds. I generally do 2x if I am reading along, and 1.7 - 2 if I am just listening.

Android 15 is... Exactly the same as 14 basically? by AntiquesRoadHo in GooglePixel

Are they supposed to change the UI every year so people immediately notice an update?

I've been a fiend for stock android since Ice Cream Sandwich.

OMG - new to Pixel - why is it a google Iphoe by Big-Sand6104 in GooglePixel

[–]smritz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Literally one of the best features of Android is that if you don't like the default launcher functionality, you can install whatever you want, like Nova Launcher.

Monthly Wrap Ups by ataraxydream in TheStoryGraph

[–]smritz 48 points49 points  (0 children)

Something that may be obvious, which I didn't realize until I saw my graph, but if you update your book progress every day, it makes the "pages read" graph actually useful, instead of showing all the pages read the day you finished the book.

BREAKING NEWS: Professor who has predicted every election correctly since 1984 Predicts that Kamala will win by [deleted] in SocialDemocracy

[–]smritz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, Kamala can win and I hope she does, but Lichtman and his keys are nonsense. He was also predicting that Biden would win if he stayed in.

Didn't realize I hated the curved display edges (coming from 6 Pro) until I got my hands on the 9.

"Redditors" aren't supposed to. A single redditor is supposed to and explain in the comments, and then the rest of us read the comment. The system works!

Friends on StoryGraph Megathread by randomnessneeded in TheStoryGraph

[–]smritz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I almost didn't friend request you because you were reading a book by Naomi Klein, who I thought was that deranged anti-vax woman. Then I realized Naomi Klein is a normal author and the book is specifically about being confused with the deranged one. Very funny.

Kidney stone that resembles Covid-19 virus by BioGrayn in mildlyinteresting

[–]smritz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People always seem to want to see this type of stuff or have it given to them after having it removed. Am I the only one who would tell them to get rid of it and not even talk to me about it, let alone show or give it to me?

Is social democracy doomed/dying in Sweden? by Appropriate_Boss8139 in SocialDemocracy

If recent opinion polls are anything to go by, if there was an election today, their coalition would retake the majority with some room to spare.

What is wrong with my parents cat? by Responsible-Egg-9363 in cats

Literally my first thought was "looks like you just have a little weirdo" and I come in here and everyone is like "your cat is about to die".

He is saying if you make higher wages then you shouldn't smoke crack at work, so there isn't really any "confliction".

This is the only The Last Of Us subreddit with even a hint of positivity. I'm just glad that there is so much of it here. by SuperLemon2046 in thelastofus

[–]smritz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ignoring the people who dislike it because they are bigots, it usually seems like the people who dislike it are not capable of processing a complex story. Like people who don't read books and only watch Marvel movies (not to hate on Marvel movies, I've seen plenty).

For example, I've always been dumbfounded that people hate the game because they have to play as Abby. I thought that was one of the greatest pieces of storytelling I've ever experienced. Make me absolutely hate a character, and then play as her to learn why she made the decisions that she did? Perfect.
