I don’t think I’d want this. The fun of Legos is in part from using your imaginary. You imagine the light saber doing stuff. If it actually lights up and hums that feels like it detracts from the experience.

This seems like an obvious improvement and I kind of want everyone who thought otherwise to be banned from working in decision making roles.

Mark is a good, kind person

No he’s not.

He has done tremendous, incalculable, harm to countless people. All of our lives are worse because Zuckerberg is an asshole.

Or when you get past where you can coast (calc 2 for me) you realize you don’t really know how to learn and study. It didn’t ruin my self image but I did change majors.

I’m not sure what you’re trying to ask but maybe this comic will be interesting anyway

He now commutes weekly via plane to London.

That’s a climate criminal right there.

Microsoft 365 is a worse name than Microsoft Office.

Good. As expected. So tired of cars having such priority and special treatment.

People are idiots. They believe things that feel good.

Why does it snow on that website? That’s unpleasant.

Anyway. Yeah, a lot of modern UI stuff seems bad. I can only assume idiots are in charge everywhere now.

Cis male. Often yes, but there’s always room for improvement. I lean on metaphor a little hard sometimes.

I had a relationship where the other person was very Guess Culture (as opposed to Ask) and that didn’t work very well at all.

I skimmed over the srd ( https://www.daggerheart.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/09/Daggerheart-SRD-9-09-25.pdf ) and it doesn’t look like a terrible system but I don’t think it’s for me. Class and level, tables, different shaped dice. Meh. Still too close to DND for me.

I think most people are kind of bad with money, and I think that scales with income.

I think a lot about some old coworkers (six figure salary). We all wanted to go out for a party after work. A bunch of then paid like $80 for a car. I paid $3 for a subway ride. Got there at the same time.

Maybe that’s not so much “bad at money” exactly as have incomprehensible to me values.

When making small talk I usually explicitly differentiate between “what do you do for money?” and “what do you do for fun?”

Sometimes people are surprised by the latter, but it’s usually a more fun topic.

Saw the comic and knew the thread would be a train wreck. So many dudes take this kind of thing deeply personally and throw up colored flags about themselves.

Maybe there’s regional pricing but usually albums are like $5 - $10, which is less than Spotify’s $12/mo. But then there are discounts and family plans and whatnot. Plus if you want a lot of albums in a month, that’ll be more up front.

I tend to only buy a new album every month or so, so I feel like I’m spending about the same. But more importantly I get to keep the music, so some months I buy nothing and still have music.

People believe based on feelings, not facts. That’s all it is.

This seems a little more detailed than I usually go with.

I’m happy cribbing from Fate. Every NPC has a high concept (eg: royal assassin, gig worker delivery man) and Trouble (eg: drinking problem, haunted by well meaning but overbearing grandfather)

If they need more flesh, they can pick up more aspects or goals.

Been pretty happy with Linux for the past year or two.

A few minor problems here and there. I was struggling to figure out how to adjust the screen brightness (pop!_os defaults). Found a command line tool to adjust gamma - my girlfriend was a little baffled. Then I realized I should just adjust the brightness on the display itself, on the hardware.

I (cis man) always fully close the toilet when it’s not in use. Never would occur to me to do otherwise.

Some of my women friends leave the seat down lid open, but then their cats drink out of the toilet.
