Topic | Why do people hunt for fun or sport? |
polopili 09/24/22 3:38:37 PM #15 | I feel like it's a remnant of an older time when we had a different relationship with nature. Like it was something that had tons of resources that you could go and grab. |
Topic | In general, why are most African countries so poor? |
polopili 09/13/22 5:09:45 PM #27 | Coal was a key factor to enable an industrial revolution. Nations that had easy access to it were able to industrialize much faster. Also colonisation. |
Topic | anyone have any favorite youtube chefs/cooks they like to watch |
polopili 09/07/22 5:06:47 PM #3 | The Pro Kitchen. Excellent Korean-inspired cooking. MiddleEats. Has some great middle-eastern inspired recipes that made it into my regular rotation. Chef Michel Dumas. Very popular french chef from Canada. Souped up Recipes. Chinese food with American influence. No Recipes. Japanese food from a skilled home cook who lived in America for a while. |
Topic | Command & Conquer - what are your thoughts on the series? |
polopili 09/05/22 8:38:56 AM #10 | I loved those games so much. Generals with zero hour was delicious |
Topic | Why did the Klingons ally with the Federation again? |
polopili 08/31/22 11:39:47 AM #2 | Wasn't their homeworld almost destroyed by an explosion so they couldn't afford war anymore? |
Topic | does isolation/long term depression cause permanent brain damage? |
polopili 08/30/22 10:35:31 PM #9 | My brother in law had a severe depression for several years and turned into a hardcore neet. His therapist is supposedly specialized in neet treatment and she says some people never recover from this stuff. |
Topic | Just taught some kids some crap they'll never use. |
polopili 08/30/22 9:44:17 AM #15 | Dunno. I work in engineering and use that stuff all the time. Never seen anybody use lines like that though. The thing with math is that it's the kind of stuff they people will never learn by themselves outside school. Like they can google their way out of a lot of stuff but math you just need to be forced into it. |
Topic | Anyone here played any Escape from Tarkov? |
polopili 08/27/22 2:12:06 PM #14 | I kinda like tarkov for it's originality but I hate it for how sweaty it is. Like there are no functional map in the game and your character is wounded when you die so you have to wait like 30 min to heal. There's also apparently a huge hacker problem. |
Topic | Post lesser unknown movies that were really great |
polopili 08/16/22 10:36:00 AM #49 | The Adventures of Baron Munchausen |
Topic | Omori is about the most mid game I've played |
polopili 08/14/22 10:56:18 AM #8 | Playing it right now. Might not finish it. The game feels heavily padded. Like all sidequests feel like a total waste of time. I feel like the entire combat system could be stripped off the game and it would be an improvement. |
Topic | Buying a house - Any flaws in this logic? |
polopili 07/26/22 6:46:36 PM #22 | Real estate is not a bad investment, but you need to know about houses. Like you must be able to tell which one is a good deal and will earn value. The plan also relies on the housing market being still somewhat affordable in a few years for the next house. You will be a landlord, which means you will have to either invest time and money for maintenance at the first house. The tenants might constantly complain about stuff or start trouble with the neighbors. |
Topic | What's a cuisine you're interested in and want to eat more of? |
polopili 07/22/22 2:32:32 PM #20 | Questionmarktarius posted... Quebec. Pudding chmeur is a simple yet excellent dessert made with maple syrup. Cipaille is a rustic meat pie mostly made during holidays. Everything else can be skipped imo. Maple syrup related dishes and poutine are the main appeal. |
Topic | Has any Canadian/American here done a Europe trip? |
polopili 07/12/22 12:20:34 PM #8 | For a 2 week trip for 2 people, it used to cost me around 3K total per person. Sleeping in cheap rbnb, rent a compact car and eat at a few restaurants. |
Topic | Anyone play The Ascent? Diablo-like shooter |
polopili 06/08/22 6:25:16 PM #3 | Played 20 minutes before uninstalling |
Topic | Anyone here have job advice? |
polopili 06/05/22 12:27:40 AM #8 | You could ask the manager in of the accounting side if he thinks new positions will open up soon. Maybe there's some older workers that are close to retirement. |
Topic | what is the dark souls of dark souls side scrollers? |
polopili 06/04/22 8:33:30 PM #4 | I was about to make a suggestion but I can't, all of these are so derivative and forgettable. I dunno, dead cells maybe? |
Topic | REMINDER: Cyberpunk 2077 launched with the worst AI in modern open world gaming. |
polopili 06/01/22 10:45:58 AM #11 | ColonizedMind posted... Never forget, never forgive them. Boycott CDPRGamers rise up! |
Topic | Elon Musk says Americans are trying to avoid going to work at all unlike Chinese |
polopili 05/13/22 10:04:17 AM #15 | WingsOfGood posted... But Elon claims he works really hard. I read his biography and apparently he worked really hard when he started X.com in 1999, pulling all-nighters and sleeping on a matress next to his desk. He only did this for a year before the company merged and he didn't have to do programming anymore. He's probably still stuck in this mindset that he got rich enirely because of that one year of long work hours. |
Topic | What aspects of Western culture would other cultures find disturbing? |
polopili 05/10/22 3:20:13 PM #39 | I'd say car culture. Like people who waste most of their income on their vehicle or those who modify it to make it more noisy. |
Topic | Does the south have any redeeming qualities? |
polopili 05/08/22 9:58:45 AM #32 | As long as you are in a city it's not that bad. Except for some states like Mississippi and Arkansas where even the cities are awful. |
Topic | Undeclared and Undergrads. |
polopili 05/04/22 2:59:05 PM #6 | Undergrads has a full-length film in the works by the original creator after a successful crowdfunding effort in 2018. They post updates every few months on their FB page |
Topic | Elden Ring General #8 |
polopili 04/23/22 4:10:12 PM #205 | I just finished the game. Got a few questions about the story. |
Topic | I wish Elden Ring had better writing |
polopili 04/16/22 11:08:56 AM #10 | Flame of ambition |
Topic | What's your go-to weapon(s) in Elden Ring? |
polopili 04/15/22 1:43:56 PM #43 | Double spiked spears with arcane build. Just poking away all my worries. |
Topic | Huh, Americano coffee is actually pretty good |
polopili 04/14/22 11:03:44 AM #22 | I drink americano every morning for breakfast. Lasts longer than straight espresso and you can make as strong as you like. |
Topic | My boss has put forth a 4 percent raise should I sign another year's contract. |
polopili 04/13/22 4:08:10 PM #19 | NeonOctopus posted... 4% is better than me. I only got a 2% cost of living raise last year >_> Same for me. Corporate announced 2.8% but middle managers took it down to 2% for everyone because nobody performed good enough apparently. Gor a new job lined up with 20% increase. |
Topic | Home owners. What are things you wish you new before became home owner. |
polopili 04/12/22 4:38:48 PM #4 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Truth! neighbours in a condo are game changer. Karens are everywhere and will ruin your life. |
Topic | 6 ÷ 2(1+2) = ? |
polopili 04/04/22 5:07:59 PM #47 | This is an old trolling math problem from the last century. I still like 1 better. Why not use a * sign before the first parenthese? you used the obsolete sign before so why intentionnaly skip the * sign? to me skipping it always acted as a shortcut to adding a second set of parentheses. And why not put the (1+2) part first? Like if it's meant to be the top part of the fraction, why put it after the sign? |
Topic | Anybody else not care for museums? |
polopili 03/22/22 2:55:21 PM #8 | I really like museum. I love art and history. I don't really like the science-themed ones though. Feels like they are mostly for kids. |
Topic | The next Down the Rabbit Hole is a 5+ hour video on EVE Online |
polopili 03/21/22 10:40:22 PM #10 | There's no spreadsheet involved, it's just the old timey UI that makes it look like spreadsheets. It's still really boring. So boring that most players keep multiple instances of the game open at once on different monitors to farm faster. The game devs even promote this type of gameplay. |
Topic | why did you leave your last job? |
polopili 03/21/22 10:30:01 PM #30 | Job was boring and a dead-end. |
Topic | What gamepass game should I play? |
polopili 03/14/22 1:12:22 PM #2 | Solasta. |
Topic | Fucking dumbass cat attacks me every night when I get into bed |
polopili 03/12/22 10:23:46 AM #9 | It's probably not attacking, just high energy play. It probably gets hyped up when it sees your feet moving under the sheet and goes into play mode. |
Topic | World's largest cargo jet destroyed in attack |
polopili 02/27/22 4:32:50 PM #16 | No! I live next to an airport and it was a big event when it landed here last year to ship medical supplies. |
Topic | Hot Take: If you torrent music/movies/games in your 30s, you're a bum |
polopili 02/21/22 12:28:16 PM #15 | Bro there's plenty of older stuff that is not available on steaming platforms. Same thing for non-english dubs of a lot of older movies. |
