  • Is there a good place to share modern Xmas songs across the Fediverse? (I'll lead off with a couple...)

    Why is porn watermarks a thing?

  • I'd assume it's the same as any other watermark; to mark content as being made/owned by the entity associated with the logo.

    Honestly, we're just looking to go in a new direction with different positions.

  • My mom did this in high school when a guy who was stalking her threatened to kill himself.

    He's still alive, over thirty years later.

  • Even if we discovered that plants feel pain to the same extent as animals, a vegan diet would still be the moral option seeing as an omnivorous diet requires more plants (via animal feed) than a vegan one.

    Efficiency of energy transfer is lost very quickly at higher trophic levels.

  • What game is a guilty pleasure of yours?

    Jump

  • The update from CS:GO to CS2 made the game unplayable on my aging hardware which is the only thing that got me to stop playing.

    I'm in a single-player game phase now, and I have to say it's nice having gaming sessions where I don't get called every slur imaginable. That being said, Counter-Strike scratches a very specific gaming itch for me, I'll definitely come crawling back one day.

  • How do I explain my reluctance to use generative AI in good faith?

    Jump

  • Explain how AI haters or doubters cross over with Veganism at all as a comparison?

    They're both taking a moral stance regarding their consumption despite large swathes of society considering these choices to be morally neutral or even good. I've been vegan for almost a decade and dislike AI, and while I don't think being anti-AI is quite as ostracizing as being vegan, the comparison definitely seems reasonable to me. The behaviour of rabid meat eaters and fervent AI supporters are also quite similar.

  • The Cassette to 8-Track Adapter - Technology Connections

    Jump

  • The phone to Bluetooth/cassette adapter to cassette/8-track adapter to 8-track is crazy and I really hope someone is actually rocking that in an old car with an 8-track player.

  • What game or platform has the best character creation setting?

    Jump

  • It's admittedly been a while since I've played Skyrim (probably over a decade), but can't you just make a save right after the character creation? Or does it not let you save during the escape sequence at the beginning?

  • I do believe I have been changed for the better

  • My highschool geography/criminology teacher. He'd routinely make us discuss current events in class, and really make us analyse the points we brought up. It really helped guide me into making my own opinions rather than just accepting things at face value.

    Shout-out to great teachers. Thanks Mr. Robin!

  • If every video game was to be destroyed but you had the chance to save five games, what would you choose to save?

  • The testing elements in Portal 2's maps are technically Turing-complete, and people have made very simple "computers" with them. Here's a video from 2012 of someone building logic gates.

    There's also VScript which PortalRunner on YouTube used to port an NES emulator and make a web server. Their channel is really good if you like this type of silly hacky fun.

  • two guys and their enby buddy

    Thank you, I will exclusively refer to the Holy Spirit as "enby buddy" now.

    Oh and this is how I imagine they look like:

  • I hate these people

    Jump

  • Seriously! I get that we're in a severe housing crisis, many people can barely afford rent and the homeless population is ever expanding, but won't anyone think of the cars?

    Anyways, if you can't afford an apartment, you can always sleep in your car! You can't drive an apartment, checkmate liberals 😎

  • Please help me under stand my spouse's gift and their hurt

  • If this is your reaction to someone describing cute things they've done with their partner, I honestly feel kinda sorry for you.

    what's the most mundane hill you're willing to die on?

  • Fun fact! The word milk has been used for plant-based liquids and saps since at least the 14th century.

    Die away upon your hill, but historical and popular usage disagree with you :P

  • What minor, everyday inconvenience, if magically removed for everyone on earth, would collectively save humanity years of cumulative frustration?

  • For junk mail, it might be worth checking if there's any way to opt-out with the postal service in your jurisdiction.

    I know where I live (Canada), you just have to place a notice on your mailbox that reads "No unaddressed advertising".

  • It's important!

  • French is my first language, Parisians were still assholes who switched to English because they didn't like the way I spoke French.

    Everyone outside Paris was cool, but I totally get the stereotypes about Parisians. I don't entirely blame them, living in a city that gets that much tourism must suck, but I am still salty at the guy working in a pizza place who served our party entirely in broken English despite us only speaking French to him.
