  • And I blame shit like sherlock for making idiots online think they can deduce shit based on random shit like this. Even if Sherlock is smartly written, he’s still written to be right and bases deductions on random tiny details. Not to mention, there’s tropes to writing that makes outcomes more easily predictable, and someone picking up on foreshadowing might think they can do what Sherlock can do and apply it to stupid shit on the internet, like if a story is real or if someone is telling an accurate version of the story for AITA type judgements.


  • If you had stuck around because the sex stuff didn’t bug you, it devolves into capitalist propaganda. The evil bad guys follow communism, except the focus is on making sure everyone suffers similarly and talent is kept down (because everyone must be equal, thus anyone with talent are trying to be better than others). Of course Richard changes the hearts of those he comes in contact with by carving a statue so amazing it changes their worldview. Oh and he protects everyone from the evil bad guy boss dream walker by having them swear allegiance and if they truly mean it in their heart, it’ll protect them.

    Near the end, Richard monologues for pages and pages about the greatness of capitalism and became the second book I was reading for fun where I skipped over parts because even young me found the preaching to just be too much and his portrayal of communism so cartoonishly evil that it must be bullshit.


  • It’s even more pathetic than that. They aren’t just expressing their will to play the game, they are asking for approval despite it. It’s similar to the “nothing personal” disclaimer which is usually followed by something with significant personal disruption.

    Most honestly expressed, they’d be, “I’m doing/about to do something that impacts you negatively, please don’t retaliate against me because I don’t like it when negative things happen to me.”

    Edit: just noticed the commenter you replied to reversed the original saying and agrees with you.




  • Shit, you’re right, she’s probably some kind of doppleganger, so it’s important to act natural and pretend you’re not suspicious. And being a doctor, there’s a high probability the doppelganger will want to steal your body even if it doesn’t think its cover is blown.

    So instead of asking period questions, the best thing you could say in this situation is something like, “oh right, I told the nurse to barge in here randomly in the next 30 seconds, but this medical issue requires utmost privacy for at least 5 minutes, so I will go tell the nurse to leave us alone and make sure everyone else leaves us alone until we can properly deshoot your arm.”

    Of course, a doppleganger doesn’t need to kill you to steal your likeness, so it might be in your best interest to have an alibi for the foreseeable future and come up with codewords for your family.

    RAM is a resource that works best when you have more than you need. I always want there to be some unused RAM because then my system can do anything it needs to without spending time swapping out the least recently used pages before it has any free ones to use.

    Shitty programs that take GBs of memory to do things that should only need MBs or KBs of it isn’t “getting my money’s worth out of my computer”.











  • I think it is a joke, though not one we’re supposed to be in on.

    The hint is that that is a very well made map for someone who doesn’t understand how water flow really works. They turned the ocean trenches into rivers. It’s a parody of someone who doesn’t understand gravity but still uses it properly in demonstrating how it should look incorrectly.
