I like to shower in as dark a possible a bathroom. I find it enhances the creativity effect by a huge amount. Also the slight risk of an accidental, life altering fall from not being able to see keeps it spicy!

I think they've lost about the amount of troops that Napoleon lost in Russia funnily enough.

Why do they keep going? Sunk cost fallacy? It's mind boggling...

Hey there chief, got any sources for your comment? Like any kind of peer reviewed references to the links between oxytocin and loneliness, romantic relationships and orgasm? Would be interesting to read.

The kind of people who stick around because you pay them aren't the people you want to stick around.
Coincidentally I notice that Conagra Brands, Inc. (CAG) is trading down at the moment (28.01-0.28) so if you'd like to buy some shares in one of the biggest producers of popcorn in the world now's a good time lol

Thanks, that was actually really interesting and I learnt stuff I didn't know beforehand. The thing is your comment seemed to trigger quite a few people (me included) because it seemed insensitive. Thankfully you later commented that "For some people (like all the ones in the article) they want it fixed. Others are perfectly happy the way they are, and both are fine and none of anyone else’s business" so you obviously get it. It's funny how easy it is for people to misunderstand each other in forums like this. This has been a learning experience for me.

I'm a reddit refugee and as a non technical person I actually prefer kbin to reddit. It's nice and simple and I get all the content I need easily. The only thing I wish was 1 click less is viewing images/videos. At the moment I seem to have to click on a post to go to that posts page and then click on the image/video in that post to see it full size. I wish I could just go through my feed expanding and dismissing images and videos with 1 click without having to load a separate page. Kbin is awesome though and definitely my home for the foreseeable :)

Hello, here's all the things I'd like to argue about today.

They're two, they're four, they're six, they're eight
Shunting spaceships, hauling freight
Grey and black and speedy too
They're the awesome pew pew crew
All with different roles to play
'round planet Daro far away
Down the hills and round the bends
Thomas and his pew pew friends

I wish I'd known how nice a place this is ages ago! After 10 years I was so institutionalised to the way reddit was, it was really hard to imagine using anything else and having anything like as nice a user experience. So many times over the last few days I've suddenly realised that for hours I've been browsing Kbin and not reddit. It's a nice feeling. Also, now I've replaced all my reddit bookmarks with Kbin ones which makes it feel a lot more permanent.

You forget a thousand voice chatbots every day, how about you make sure this is one of them...

Can I hazard a guess that you're an ex redditor? People try to be nicer to each other here. I'm a reddit refugee myself and it's sometimes hard to change habits but this place is nice and it's worth it. To me this whole migration kerfuffle seems like a rare opportunity to be more thoughful in my interactions with people online. So far it's making for a much nicer experience.

It's so strange how AI always struggles with fingers.

Oh my goodness! Thanks :D

I'll always boost/upvote a solid Malcolm Tucker reference :)

This whole sudden march on Moscow by Prigozhin really took everyone around the world by surprise didn't it? It seems to be making a lot of governments re-assess the timeline of this conflict. I wonder what the next big development will be?

I recently re-installed The Crew 2 because I wanted to start a new character and start the story again from scratch. Unfortunately I'd forgotten that YOU CAN'T START AGAIN (Jackie Chan Confused Meme). Because of these ridiculous shenanigans of theirs your progress is inextricably tied to your online account. They have literally built a system that limits replayability. Bravo.

Step 1 - Putin doesn't like a thing.
Step 2 - Putin says that if you do the thing you'll get nuked.
Step 3 - Putin's little cyber puppets flood social media with posts "concerned" about the risks of him launching the mighty nukes. Oh noes!
Step 4 - Putin hopes you believe him.
Step 5 - Nobody believes him.

...some times passes...

aaand we're back to Step 1...
