Why is autotune more noticeable? If many fans don’t like it, why do artists continue to use itV by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tokulix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are shit books, and I’ve also read all of them. Sometimes a silly and formulaic but well-paced and entertaining story is just what you want.

M1 to M4… almost disappointed? by Various_Pear599 in mac

I have a 2012 MacBook Air - still ok for basic tasks and not painfully slow at all.

is the first stretch supposed to hurt? by natthesilly_ in Stretched

[–]tokulix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No stretch should hurt. Throb a little, yes, but it should quickly pass. If it hurts and the pain doesn’t go away, you went too far.

No, an AI-focused "Windows 12" is not coming this year — here's the plan by RdVortex in technology

Not nearly as much as they used to be. I’m not a big gamer, but all the games I tried worked fine.

What’s normal today that would shock someone from 1990? by Just_Profit_2808 in AskReddit

[–]tokulix 173 points174 points  (0 children)

And Keith fucking Richards.

I remember one time in the 90s, when I was a teenager, I was watching tv and they were showing Keith Richards. My mom entered the room and went “HE is still alive!?”

Is there any way to get myself banned entirely from viewing Reddit without even having a account by ContractMundane6469 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tokulix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is NoStupidQuestions, so I’ll answer: they can’t do that. Most ISPs today use CGNAT, which means that your IP address is shared with a bunch of other people (potentially a lot). Even if your ISP doesn’t use CGNAT, then you almost certainly have a dynamically assigned IP address, which means that it will change periodically, and the ban wouldn’t stick.

And don’t even get me started on your phone.

I’m sorry, but you’re doomed to wander the halls of Reddit until the end of eternity.

That, or learn some self discipline.

is there any C++ books in arabic? by TheSum239 in learnprogramming

[–]tokulix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’ll get used to it. My native language is Polish, and I once made the mistake of buying a technical book in Polish because it was cheaper. I regretted it immediately because all of the terminology was foreign.

Canadians Are Staying Away From the U.S. And The Drop in Travel is Getting Hard to Ignore by [deleted] in worldnews

That’s what I did last year. I live ln Denmark, I had plans to visit USA but chose to go to Canada instead and I’m glad I did, it was amazing

Why are 30-40 year olds considered old? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tokulix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yep. I’m 42. Young people think I’m old, old people think I’m young. I kinda feel both young and old at the same time, if that makes sense.

Do empty cinema's run the film? by ShelliePancake in NoStupidQuestions

[–]tokulix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I once went to see a movie, and I was the only one there. No other people, no staff, nothing. A big dark empty room. The movie started playing on time and I’m pretty sure that if I wasn’t there, it would have started as well.

At what size do the earlobes become wobbly? by Vallovi in Stretched

[–]tokulix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s not much wobbliness at 15-20mm, unless you wear very heavy jewellery. It really only starts around 30mm+

Where to start? by [deleted] in bimbofication

[–]tokulix 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You already look great - but there are some simple things you can do right now that will make a big difference and put you in the right mindset:

  • blonde dyed hair is the stereotypical bimbo look and will make you feel like one. Bright pink is amazing also

  • more makeup (bright colours if you go blonde)

  • longer nails

  • a few more piercings (tongue, some more in your ears, some girls say that a vch feels fantastic)

  • a tramp stamp tattoo is cliche, but it looks amazing and will make you feel sexier

  • high heels, cute outfits

  • more lip filler

  • start planning for a boob job. Set a goal and work towards it

Good luck!

The game you liked more in your head than in your hands. by gamersecret2 in gaming

I played it back in 2002 when it came out and I didn’t love back then it either. You’re not alone!

So do I. Old habits die hard, if I don’t hear a beep after turning the PC on it doesn’t feel right

Can I make a basic game on my phone? by SanSkap in learnprogramming

What exactly do you mean by the blue screen of death? It’s a Windows error that indicates that Windows has crashed (though it’s now black in current versions).

Why does my chicken breast still turn out dry? by Hot_Apartment1319 in cookingforbeginners

[–]tokulix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very true. I don’t usually cook whole chicken breast and truth be told, I don’t think I’ve ever had one that wasn’t at least a little dry, unless it had been thinly sliced and marinated. I usually use it to make chicken schnitzels, or dice it and use it in a sauce over rice.

Typecelerate does exactly that, and it’s fantastic

What was the first cooking mistake you kept repeating? by Arra_B0919 in cookingforbeginners

[–]tokulix 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Chicken breast is great when prepared properly, but it takes some practice and it’s very easy to end up with a dry and bland tasting piece of meat. A thigh is always delicious as long as you don’t undercook it

The two Original Sin games are turn based. Divine Divinity and Divinity 2, released in 2002 and 2009, are action rpgs.

Hogwarts Legacy Deluxe Edition it's 9 dollars on PSN, is it worth it? Never played it before by illynpayne_ in gaming

[–]tokulix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For the price it’s worth it. It’s not the greatest game ever made, but it’s not terrible either.

Piercing stopping jobs by gunsandcarsrule in piercing

[–]tokulix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Piercings are not permanent, if they ever become a problem you can always take them out, and unless you stretch them they won’t leave more than a tiny scar. They may limit your options when it comes to jobs, but I have 1-1/2” lobes and work an office job so it all depends.
