things you can only do with boys
  • No word feels great which is pretty sad considering how many child-friendly euphemisms there are for a penis. With my daughter we try to emulate the same vibe as 'willy' combined with some anatomical accuracy by using the word 'vulvy'. Sounds gross to many, makes sense to others. Your mileage may vary haha.

    Looking for new Site Admins
  • Honest question; why does this have to be a volunteer role? Is there any room in the Open Collective fund to pay towards renumerating someone for something like this?

  • [Meta] Did we drop the "what are you playing" monthly thread? Also, mods haven't been active for a while, should someone take over?
  • Jumping on this to second it and also be shamelessly elitist. Factorio is the automation game. Nothing tops it. You may think other games look more beautiful, exciting, or engaging, but they are not. Factorio is also one of the cheaper automation games out there with one of the best developers in the industry. Definitely give it a go!

  • What a CASHLESS society REALLY means
  • Possibly with the exception of the domestic violence example, the examples that directly reference 'cash' make the least sense. Of course you can't give cash to your grandchildren, there's no more cash!

  • heh heh heh
  • Unpopular opinion but I can be this way and I honestly hate games for it. I'm a big Last of Us fan but I despise how you're supposed to have this cutthroat realistic adventure but at every junction they just goade you into picking the obvious route that goes against the narrative. There's no reason to follow that path except the meta element that you know there's going to be some bullshit coin there. And if you maintain the atmosphere and ignore it, at the end of the level in some games you'll get a whiny 'oops! You only got 4/8 coins you dipshit!' that makes you feel like you're not playing the game right.

  • I'm writing this from a crappy laptop with 2GB of RAM and a dull screen.
  • Reminds me of the UK's Government Digital Services, who want to digitise government processes but also have a responsibility to keep that service as accessible and streamlined as possible, so that even a homeless person using a £10 phone on a 2G data service still has an acceptable experience.

    An example. Here they painstakingly remove JQuery (most modern frameworks are way too big) from the site and shave 32Kb off the site size.

  • Spotify is raising the cost of Premium subscriptions, again
  • For anyone who hasn't checked their Spotify subscription for a while, I recently discovered a new basic tier created underneath the premium one that is a little cheaper simply by not including the 'free' 15 hours of audiobooks. I've never used it and don't intend to. YMMV.

  • Trudeau says housing needs to retain its value
  • That makes sense. The cost of housing is rising faster than pretty much anything else, so it's inevitable that any well intentioned scheme to help first time buyers will ultimately become completely unaffordable unless something else changes. Thanks! Such schemes exist in my country, so I'm curious now to look up some of the reasoning behind those schemes and see how they argue around or attempt to compensate for this.

  • Trudeau says housing needs to retain its value
  • I'm not saying you're in any way wrong, but for my own understanding, are schemes to help people onto the housing market not effectively the same thing, while still retaining value for those who expect to do things like funding retirements with their existing properties?

  • What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?
  • Sounds about right. I would connect this action to my jaw, not anything with my eyes like some others have said. When you say short, do you mean the sound doesn't last very long? I can keep it going more or less as long as I want.

  • What's something weird and mostly useless that you can do with your body?
  • I can do this! I forget the name for it but I can rumble my ears, and then I can also 'pop' them if I go a little further. I'm so grateful for it if I ever go through a pressure change, I can't imagine how people cope without being able to do it.
