do they really need changing that often though

i don’t go to bed covered in mud so all my sheets get is a bit of occasional sweat at night, i don’t get why we should change them so often. they don’t even smell!

same, i could even do both at once. for some reason my right hand can do everything but effectively give me pleasure

prolly, i guess they said they were trying for a child, not that they’ve been successful at it

oh i thought he was getting pegged

why would he walk around with the everything cops need to arrest and convict him though? the crime was clean, is the same person who committed a clean and well planned crime going to be walking around with the murder weapon and a manifesto placing him both at the crime scene and giving him a clear motive?

few days ago i said “someone will be arrested and tried for this, will it be the person who actually did it, or someone who has the misfortune of looking kinda like the guy”. so far it seems it’s someone who got unlucky because, quite frankly, the evidence seems made up

alright fuckers let’s go over this again (and spread the knowledge please, it baffles me how it’s apparently niche info)

your sleep is on a cycle, each cycle is ~90 minutes, you need from 4 to 6 consecutive cycles to get a good night’s sleep, that’s 6 to 9h (how much you need depends on your body)

now here’s the kicker - if you wake up at the end or the beginning of a sleep cycle, which is when the lightest phase of sleep occurs - you’ll feel nice and refreshed.

but if you wake up in the middle - during the deepest phase of your sleep cycle - you’ll feel like a fucking zombie and are quite likely to promptly turn off your alarm & go back to sleep and not even register that action as a memory because most of your brain is still asleep

this is also why you can’t really have a 40 min nap that leaves you refreshed, you can either have a refreshing <20min nap or a refreshing ~90min nap, anything inbetween will make you feel more tired as your mind now has to wake itself up all the way from deep sleep

so yeah, sleep in ~90min increments, my personal sweet spot is 7:30h

and he maintains a near monopoly because Steam is just a great platform for gamers, as Gabe has said:

Piracy is almost always a service problem and not a pricing problem.

and he’s right! i almost never pirate video games because of their price, i can wait for a sale, there’s a billion other games i can play in the meantime

when shit like Epic takes years to implement a shopping basket, and still have yet to recolour their payment page so it stops flashbanging gamers across the world, Steam doesn’t even need to try very hard to be the best. The biggest changes on Steam in the recent years are what - updating the UI aged ago? adding a points system so people can get silly profile decorations as an additional reward for buying a video game? Steam has created a platform so good all they need to do is sit back relax, and think of what other sprinkles colour to add to the cake pie?

Steam has competitors, but the difference is Steam is for gamers, and most of their competitors is for money

god help us all if that ever were to change, the second Steam enshittifies the internet will implode

you cannot know which one is which when you see a person shoplifting

if you snitch on them, there are two outcomes:

• whoever organised the crime of stealing baby formula doesn’t get their daily quota from the person they told to do it, and either helps or punishes the person desperate enough to go and do the actual shoplifting for them. You helped a corporation avoid theft

• a baby goes without food, and an already impoverished parent is financially, legally, or socially punished. You helped a corporation avoid theft

is it worth it to possibly make a mother cry as her baby goes hungry, to try to help a corporation?

nah, oddly enough biphobia exists even within the LGBTQ community, it’s baffling.

in order of difficulty:

being cis and straight

being gay

being bi

being trans
