Who wants to hear a DIY tiling pro tip that the experts won't tell you

[hazelriver74]

Yes!

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Do not drop your phone into the bucket of tile adhesive. This step is actually completely unnecessary and massively complicates the tiling process.

[fueles]

You say this but my uncle is a tiler and he swears by the “drop phone in putty bucket” technique. I think you’re just posting this for clout

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Your uncle is caught up in a tradition that he was taught as an apprentice that he never questioned. Modern putty doesn't require phone, the formula has changed.

[perfectly-disfigured]

MY uncle says some customers still demand the phone putty technique because it "doesn't look right otherwise"

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

Drop an empty phone case in and those customers can't tell the fucking difference because there is no fucking difference.

people with bad political opinions are cringey and weird about sex, just like everybody else

[karcatgirl-vantas]

people with bad political opinions have lots of gross sexual fetishes, but they have bad qualities too

if you click through to the blog of someone saying dumb stuff online you will always find a lot of esoteric pornography, but unfortunately you have to scroll past all the dumb stuff to find it

i definitely think the 'games discourse' around VNs could use a wider exposure to "interactive fiction" in general. but it's interesting to see people assert facts about what "real games" are that preclude the eponymous predecessors to entire genres.

[eta-reduction]

pissing everyone off by saying my Inform game isn't a video game because it's meant to be played at a teletype.

[machine-saint]

wikipedia says that

The term "video game" was developed to describe electronic games played on a video display rather than on a teletype printer, audio speaker, or similar device.[14] This also distinguished from handheld electronic games such as Merlin, which commonly used LED lights for indicators not in combination for imaging purposes.[15]

therefore, nethack is a video game on a modern computer, but not on a teletype

Boss tries to fire me for poor performance but I punch the ground and spit out blood and say "No... this isn't how this ends" while my leitmotif plays

Two dolls whose witch is long gone, so it's just been them in the house. They miss having her, so they've established a system where they each take turns being The Witch and The Doll. It's been decades though (and their understanding of human motivations was always vague at best), so the The Witch is essentially just wearing a pointy hat and babbling nonsense stereotypical orders (heavily overusing the words 'I' and 'me'), which The Doll cheerfully carries out

i think that it's true that the unfortunate death of the 3.5mm jack has led to more people listening to music/watching videos on speaker in public but also like. you're still as asshole if you do it.
