  • Literally anything. Even the things I still have that use AA and AAA batteries (of which the newest things are my VR controllers which is so stupid...), I have rechargeable lithium ion AAs and AAAs for so I don't have to constantly buy batteries.

    As a kid, tho, I loved 9volts because they had the best connectors. I could take a little battery powered motor apart, glue it to some legos and use it to make machines that moved or did stuff. I almost killed myself once wondering what would happen if I took the cord from a busted fan, wired it to the 9volt battery motor and the plugged the cord into the wall outlet.

    It blew up the motor and started a fire. 🀣

  • Just DuoLingo, watching Japanese stuff without subtitles (including cultural guides for further understanding) to force myself to listen, and then looking up words I don't know when I come across them.

    My goal was never to learn how to speak or write anything; just understand it well enough to watch Japanese media in the original language. I still often have to rewind and play back stuff to get it all. Especially if they are saying a long sentence really fast.

    It also probably helps that Language itself is one of the things that tickles my autistic brain.

  • If it was a sign on a broken escalator, it'd be okay.

  • Still bleeding internally and will die soon, but he isn't worrying about it!

  • Find someone you know who smokes weed and ask them to hook you up with a dealer. Become friends with them. Smoke at their house.

    That's how it worked for me, when I was a teenager, anyway.

  • "I once spent an entire year talking through a fan to make my voice do the thing."

  • I've been doing daily lessons on it for almost a whole year with the goal of being able to watch anime without subtitles.

    I have achieved my goal almost completely. I just need to learn more vocab because DuoLingo has only taught about 150 or so words. Gamifying learning works; if you can stick with it. Which is the whole point in making it like a game: so you stick to it.

    Whether or not that will continue to be the case when everything is handled by AI has yet to be seen. I am doubtful, considering how fucking God awful LLMs are at providing ACTUAL info and not just creating a madlib with what it has been trained on.

  • I live in the city now after years of living in the country, and I definitely wanna go back to the country. The only good thing about the city is that I can just walk across the street for groceries which are way more expensive here than where I moved from. City has more pests, too. Once in a while I'd see a field mouse get into the kitchen when I was living in the sticks. In the city, cockroaches and big fat fucking rats all the time, everywhere, the minute the sun goes down. It's gross.

  • Don't know about 5E but 3.5 at least allowed a fresh corpse to be brought to a cleric and revived for a fee, if your own party had no means of True Resurrection. The DM could always be a dick and claim they don't want to come back, I guess. But if they are truly important to the campaign, surely that would be counter productive.

  • AI imitation of Soldier from TF2: "I have done mostly just generating Bender for the last 5 days."

  • It's really easy if you simply buy a ton of them all at once and just keep them in a cupboard or something.

  • Use thunderbolts and lighting,

    I hear they're very frightening!

  • Wake up being yelled at by a lawyer for interrupting his masturbation session during "Ow! My Balls!"

  • I know I am normally recognizable, but currently if someone doesn't have display names or avatars visible they probably won't know who I am on this account since it's my old username, from Reddit.

  • Having a pfp greatly increases my recognition of other users. So you're already proving more recognizable than most users who have none.

  • I feel I have a better understanding of written words than film. All my education taught was how to recognize things in literature; not any kind of visual medium. If a director of a movie uses a subtle visual element as a metaphor, I am probably not going to recognize it as such, compared to a similar metaphor used in a book, through text.

    If a game adds or changes content outside of extra add-ons like DLC (such as a free update) does that content have to be reviewed by ratings boards and risk changing the rating of the game?
