Topic | Do you think Dan Schneider is going to be accused of inappropriate behavior? |
Wetterdew 03/30/18 11:00:00 AM #1 | He's left Nickelodeon but neither him nor anybody tied to Nickelodeon has said a word about the rumors of his inappropriate behavior one way or another. It's not just a 4chan meme any more either since I've seen major news pundits bring up the rumors. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Topic | people who purchase meat and/or dairy - how do you justify it? |
Wetterdew 03/28/18 5:59:20 PM #116 | I know it's wrong to raise and slaughter them so brutally. However, I don't think there's anything wrong with eating meat if the animal is raised properly and killed humanely. That said, I eat it anyway because I like it. I try to buy meat that wasn't so cruelly raised. thronedfire2 posted... It's already dead and packaged when I buy it If you don't buy it, then they stop producing it. If fewer people bought it, they'd make less of it. If everybody stopped buying it, they wouldn't make any of it. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Wetterdew 03/28/18 4:17:49 PM #9 | And it means you have freedom within your house. You don't have to station yourself in front of the TV. You can play in bed or in the kitchen. With a switch you can play lying in bed on your side, with the screen turned onto its side in front of you. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Wetterdew 03/26/18 10:35:45 PM #6 | 4. Christian rock is extremely generic 5.

Topic | Example of the data Facebook gathers |
Wetterdew 03/26/18 9:50:30 PM #3 | This also means that even if YOU personally don't use Messenger, Facebook still has logs of calls you have made to anybody who DOES have Messenger on their android phone. As well as texts. For every phone call you've made to somebody with Messenger on their android phone, Facebook knows when the call was made how long it lasted whether it was picked up by them/how many times you tried calling That it came from you Your name and whatever other info that person wrote for you in their contacts Maybe more--I wonder if they get access to photos people use for you in their contacts And they also know every time you sent a text to that person. So even if you don't use Messenger or even if you don't use facebook, they can still know who you're calling and texting, and how often, and what your name and phone number are. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |
Topic | Example of the data Facebook gathers |
Wetterdew 03/26/18 9:38:33 PM #1 | https://twitter.com/dylanmckaynz/status/976368845635035138 Read the twitter thread This is just some random guy who decided to download an archive of the data Facebook had accrued on him. They have records of all of his phone calls, including who they were with, when they were, and how long they lasted. As well as incoming phone calls he missed, and who they were from. He didn't make these calls using a facebook app, either. I'm downloading mine to see what they have for me. Apparently they collect this data if you use Messenger on an android phone (which I don't but I'm curious what they have). Facebook says it's something you opt into when you use Messenger. But I don't think anybody really knew they were storing all this until now. Even without the call audio and texts content, you can still learn some big secrets from looking at who calls whom, and for how long. For some people that data could contain very sensitive secrets. --------- "It's very unusual for apps to collect call log data, since the vast majority of them have no clear purpose in doing so," said Jason Hong, an associate professor of computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, who studies app privacy. He said Facebook may have been doing it to help with "friend recommendations" or to better calculate which friends should appear in your feed. https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/social-media/facebook-confirms-it-records-call-history-stoking-privacy-furor-n860006 --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Wetterdew 03/26/18 8:43:13 PM #22 | Not only is he good at puppets, he's also hilarious and one of the funniest and most charming improvisers I can think of. Watching old videos of him improvising as Kermit, whether he's riffing against Miss Piggy in unscripted bloopers or playing with kids on set, he's always funny and witty. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Wetterdew 03/26/18 8:17:04 PM #22 | Also it's Square Enix, so having a bad title is part of the contract. It's still not as bad as Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days or Bravely Default (Flying Fairy) or Kingdom Hearts HD 1.5 + 2.5 Remix. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Wetterdew 03/25/18 8:00:29 PM #21 | The avengers theme is awesome. Though it does totally sound like a ripoff of this song from Kid Icarus Uprising: ![]() ![]() But it's just coincidence. They both came out at about the same time. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |
Topic | woah moviepass down to $6.95/mo |
Wetterdew 03/25/18 2:12:02 AM #24 | The customer service is fucking awful. Also to say it's $6.95 per month is deceptive. It's more like $90 a year, because that's how much they make you pay. It's not a monthly thing. And there's a $5 extra "because we feel like it" "activation fee" that they separate from the rest of the price so that they can claim it's $6.95 a month instead of $7.50 It does work, but I've never recommended it to anybody just because their CS is sooooo bad. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |
Topic | Come to think of it, BotW doesn't really have any memorable music, does it? |
Wetterdew 03/25/18 1:55:53 AM #16 | There are some really great songs in BOTW but the thing is, most of them are only heard once for a minute or so, and you spend the other 96% of the game in an overworld with ambient piano coming in and out. There are a few tracks with strong simple melodies that become earworms like the ocarina songs in OoT, like Kass's theme, but I think most of the soundtrack's best songs are a different style. To say it has no good tracks is just wrong. Example of a beautiful theme you only hear once: ![]() The divine beasts have lovely music that ramps up as you activate more beacons: ![]() The main theme of the game: ![]() ![]() --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Topic | After 3 days of dieting I'm officially down 10 pounds |
Wetterdew 03/22/18 11:09:04 AM #47 | That's 90% water weight. The same thing happens to me in the first few days of cutting/bulking. It used to scare me to suddenly gain/lose 8-11 pounds in a few days, but now I know it's not muscle or fat, it's just water. You are quite obese, so at first you should be okay losing weight more quickly than most, but not 900 calories a day. 2 pounds a week should work at first, but 900 calories a day is still too little IMO. It reminds me of my dumbass brother who fattened up to 200 pounds last year and then ate 500 calories a day in January-february to lose 40 pounds really quickly. He got a bad skin rash and it affected his mood. Good thing I don't live with him any more --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |
Topic | On a scale from 1 to 10, what's average? |
Wetterdew 03/22/18 1:53:49 AM #14 | 5.5 is average unless your scale included 0. If it had 0, then 5 would be smack in the middle. The reason 7 feels like a rating for an average game is that we already have filtered out the shovelware crap that lands on the lower half of the scale. Sites like IGN don't review games like Wreck-it Ralph for Nintendo DS, because we already know it's like a 2/10. For the most part, the games that are reviewed in games are generally at least 5/10. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Topic | $100 million, but you're stalked by a killer monster forever |
Wetterdew 03/21/18 6:47:23 PM #89 | 008Zulu posted... I would buy a house in Rio Grande, Argentina. And another house in Anchorage, Alaska. Since the only body of water is the Panama Canal, the Monster would have to walk the entire length of the Americas, which is 14,663kms (as a straight line, doesn't take in to account winding mountain roads). Which at normal walking speed would take the Monster just over 203 days to complete. Hopping back and forth once a year, this would be a feasible way to live. No. It would just teleport across the Pacific ocean and you'd be dead for misreading the original post, which says it goes in a straight line toward you and teleports across bodies of water. In fact, if it goes in a straight line toward you, it would just bore its way through the earth. But I'm guessing OP meant on the surface of the earth. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

I'm gonna take it a step further and say that I actually DO think Switch is the best console. I've played all the consoles back to the Gamecube/Xbox/PS2 generation. It has the best console design ever, and if it continues to pump out games like it has been so far then it'll cement its status as far as I'm concerned. Its biggest problem IMO is its poor online infrastructure, but that hasn't bothered me so far and I think it will be updated this year to be improved. *Preparing for hostile CEmen to tell me my opinion is wrong because Switch has X problems* --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |

Wetterdew 03/20/18 12:37:53 PM #13 | I think it's worth discussing. Facebook is not innocent. It's a huge political player at this point whether it likes it or not, and it also manages and sells lots of personal information. It's absolutely worth it to be wary of them. I still have a facebook account but I don't really post anything to it. To dismiss concerns about Facebook so casually is short-sighted IMO. --- Touch fuzzy get dizzy. |
