Announcement Banned posts on this subreddit

0 Upvotes

Attention all Dogtown residents, this is Kurt Hansen.

The mod team has cleared out about 300 items in the queue in the past few hours. Between that and the modmail, that was pretty exhausting. A lot of them associated with a topic we normally shut down.

Going forward, here's our updated list of banned topics

  1. Anything to do with Claire
    1. Claire hate or appreciation posts. This seems to bring the worst in people out of the woodwork. And I think I can assume why. Rule 4.
  2. Hanako at Embers
    1. Yes, we know you're putting off meeting Hanako at Embers. Rule 4.
  3. Dollchips
    1. We get it. Maiko has a dollchip. Deal with her accordingly without posting about it. Rule 4.
  4. Talia and NSFW content
    1. This is a touchy topic because this (her approximate age and attire) is what we were presented with by the people who made Edgerunners Season 2. While we don't have a problem with discussions about her, or fanart of her, sexualizing her beyond what's already presented will be shut down under Rule 6 or 7. And this is subject to each moderator's individual discretion.
    2. As long as the context is appropriate, it's fine. If you have to ask yourself if this is appropriate or not before posting/commenting, don't.
    3. For now, deeper Talia discussions should stay in the megathread. Otherwise they will be subject to a Rule 3 violation.

Violators will be dealt with accordingly.

That will be all.

"Klassisches" Dating Hot Take - Männer sind meistens selbst daran Schuld das ihr Datingleben schlecht ist

7 Upvotes

Ich weiß, der Titel wird einigen nicht gefallen. Aber ich glaube mittlerweile wirklich, dass viele Männer ihr eigenes Datingleben unnötig schwer machen.

Ich habe mich vor ungefähr einem Jahr von meiner Freundin getrennt und date jetzt seit nem halben Jahr wieder. Und ehrlich gesagt läuft es ziemlich gut.

Ich glaube, das liegt weniger an irgendwelchen Datingstrategien, sondern eher daran, wie ich mein Leben grundsätzlich führe und wie ich anderen Menschen begegne.

Ich habe irgendwann aufgehört, Dating als etwas zu betrachten, bei dem ich möglichst viele Frauen von mir überzeugen muss.

Stattdessen habe ich mich gefragt, was für ein Leben ich eigentlich führen möchte. Unabhängig davon, ob gerade jemand an meiner Seite ist oder nicht.

Ich mache viel Sport, habe meine eigenen Interessen, kümmere mich um meine Wohnung und verbringe gerne Zeit mit Freunden. Ich mag es, wenn mein Zuhause gemütlich ist und man sich dort wohlfühlt. Ich probiere gerne neue Dinge aus und bin grundsätzlich neugierig auf Menschen.

Klingt jetzt nicht besonders spektakulär. Aber ich glaube, genau darum geht es.

Was ich damit meine: Ich brauche nicht ständig Bestätigung von Frauen, um mich gut zu fühlen. Ich muss niemanden überzeugen, dass ich ein toller Typ bin. Ich versuche einfach, ein Leben zu führen, das mir selbst gefällt.

Wenn ich dann jemanden kennenlerne, der mich interessiert, kann ich mich auch wirklich auf diese Person einlassen.

Ich schreibe nicht parallel mit zehn Frauen, nur um mir Optionen offenzuhalten. Wenn ich jemanden spannend finde, möchte ich herausfinden, wer sie wirklich ist.
Und hier kommt etwas, das ich bei manchen Männern wirklich widerlich finde.

Ihr redet davon, eine Frau kennenlernen zu wollen, aber eigentlich wollt ihr nur Zugang zu ihrem Körper.

Man merkt es daran, wie über Frauen gesprochen wird. Daran, dass eine Frau plötzlich uninteressant ist, sobald sie keinen Sex möchte. Daran, dass jedes nette Gespräch nur als Möglichkeit gesehen wird, irgendwie im Bett zu landen.

Natürlich ist Sex etwas Schönes. Und natürlich darf man jemanden körperlich attraktiv finden. Darum geht es mir überhaupt nicht.

Es geht darum, ob man in der Lage ist, eine Frau als vollständigen Menschen wahrzunehmen. Mit eigenen Gedanken, Unsicherheiten, Wünschen, Humor und einer Persönlichkeit, die vielleicht ganz anders ist als das, was man sich vorher vorgestellt hat.

Ich finde es ehrlich gesagt traurig, wenn ein Mann stundenlang darüber reden kann, wie schwer es ist, eine Frau zu finden, aber kaum etwas darüber sagen kann, was er an einer Frau als Mensch interessant findet.

Was mag sie? Was beschäftigt sie? Was bringt sie zum Lachen? Wie geht sie mit anderen Menschen um? Was möchte sie im Leben erreichen?
Das sind doch die Dinge, die jemanden wirklich interessant machen.

Und ja, ich finde es auch völlig legitim, wenn man nur etwas Lockeres sucht. Aber dann sei ehrlich. Niemand schuldet dir Sex, nur weil du nett warst, Geld für ein Date ausgegeben oder Zeit investiert hast.

Ich höre zu, stelle Fragen und merke mir auch mal Kleinigkeiten, die sie nebenbei erzählt. Ich zeige Interesse, ohne daraus irgendeine Taktik zu machen.
Wenn ich jemanden mag, darf die Person das auch merken. Ich spiele keine künstlichen Spielchen mit Antwortzeiten und tue nicht so, als wäre mir alles egal.
Ich lasse mir und der anderen Person trotzdem Zeit. Ich muss nach zwei Dates nicht wissen, ob das die Frau ist, die ich heiraten werde. Aber ich spiele auch nicht den Unentschlossenen, wenn ich eigentlich weiß, dass ich jemanden kennenlernen möchte.

Ich glaube, viele Männer machen es sich unnötig schwer, weil sie Dating als Wettbewerb betrachten.
Wer bekommt die meisten Matches? Wer hat die meisten Optionen? Wie wird man möglichst begehrenswert? Wie bringt man eine Frau dazu, einem hinterherzulaufen?

Dabei vergessen sie, dass es im Idealfall darum geht, jemanden zu finden, mit dem das eigene Leben noch schöner wird.

Du musst kein Model sein, sechsstellige Beträge verdienen oder der interessanteste Mensch im Raum sein.

Aber du solltest dich selbst mögen. Ein eigenes Leben haben. Zuhören können. Interesse zeigen. Und Frauen als Menschen betrachten, nicht als eine Art Belohnung dafür, dass du alles richtig gemacht hast.

Vielleicht ist das Datingleben vieler Männer nicht deshalb so schlecht, weil Frauen heutzutage so schwierig geworden sind. Vielleicht sollten manche Männer erstmal hinterfragen, mit welcher Einstellung sie überhaupt daten.

Complaint I just realized we've been shipping AI slop :(

0 Upvotes

I primarily use Opus 5.5, and our team has an agent that reviews code automatically.

Today it created two temp variables for an expression I would've inlined. Such a basic thing even an intern wouldn't do.

Tbh, I don't pay much attention to readability in AI-generated code because we're working on a tight deadline, and it's tight even without code review.

But since this was a small change, I paid a few seconds of attention, and damn, so many best practices were violated.

A separate way to practice this kind of scrutiny is a Pinterest SWE question on reviewing AI-generated LRU/LFU cache changes, which asks you to check invariants, tests, and benchmark assumptions. For readers applying to AI engineering roles, application autofill can reduce repeated form entry.

Now I'm truly disappointed that we've been shipping garbage for months :(

Forever PvE Balancing Is the Root of Homogenization

Post image
0 Upvotes

Spicy one for you. Prepare the downvotes.

People keep saying not to balance the game for PvP because that's how you end up with homogenized classes. Those same people will beg for their hybrids to do within 5% dps of pure DPS classes and then demand that each class bring it's own unique raid buff because otherwise "they won't get invited to raid".

When the first raid is out, people are going to beg for nerfs and buffs based on parses and overall damage. "B-b-but it's not fair that rogue has no AoE when the hardest boss is an AoE fight!!" another class will say "I have ZERO mobility! I can't keep up with bosses anymore I need heroic leap or something" and so on and so forth. People will go on and on about how they need the same tools as X class because they don't get invited to raids or they get passed up for on loot. These will be massively upvoted threads. This is why PvP in retail feels like a M+ cleave fest now where everyone has a heal, a defensive, and a "go". Not because of PvP-specific balance, but because of PvE balance.

^^ This is what causes homogenization in the game btw. Not PvP. PvP is the one area of the game where a reduction in homogenization actually makes classes stronger and stand out more. Warrior gets stuck in roots? Get a paladin to cleanse them. Fine tuned DPS numbers don't matter when a class is using it's entire kit in an fight.

Why would speeders bother anyone?

• Upvotes

Once they pass you, they're out of your life forever. If you didn't intentionally block them, they won't ever care that you even exist.

However, I've noticed a lot of people online posting that they internationally camp in the left lane to punish speeders, causing passing on the right and more traffic for everyone behind them.

What difference does it make to you if they speed if they simply want to pass you?

Edit - I've surely learned a few things in this thread. Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful answers. This is my take away.

  1. The given reason most are giving is they don't want the speeder to cause an accident to others. While physics makes it obvious that higher speed crashes cause more damage, many people seem to think lots of speeders can't handle their speed and will inevitably cause more accidents. My thinking is that most people know what they can handle and don't go above that. I can see that argument and never really thought of that angle, even though I still disagree.

  2. I think the other major thing that I missed was the amount of people who think the speed limit is the absolute fastest speed you can ever drive safely. On a clear highway in good conditions, most cars can generally go 10-15 MPH faster than the speed limit safely. I've always assumed that speed limits are artificially low due to government agencies wanting to collect ticket revenue and city council meetings tend to draw more elderly than younger constituents and that's a group that generally wants a slow speed limit.

Most unprofessional email i've ever gotten from a company

0 Upvotes

Context for the fuckwits in the comments, orders two courtside combos with whopper juniors and asked for no ketchup on both burgers since I can't eat their ketchup without giving me the shits and got ketchup on both, making the whole order unedible, also it's not a "free" whopper junior since i'd have to spend more money to get it, also not complaining about the "not so refund refund" I was simply saying how this is the most unprofessional email i've received from a business

edit: for the people thinking i'm "ungrateful", this post is about the unprofessional nature of the email, not about the singular burger "compensation" I got for two fucked up ones

This is a really really controversial topic, but ive heard quotes by Hertzl saying that his project is a colonial one or things of that nature. How did infulencial early zionists such as hertzl and ben gurion view it, as a colonial project or a nativist one?

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse (2026) The game does not have difficult platforming, you're just bad.

33 Upvotes

There are so many people complaining about the platforming when it literally isn't that bad. Like it is way easier than any of the platforming in the classicvanias, play castlevania on the NES or play Rondo of Blood and then get back to me, this complaint is so tired.

Some of you have never played a game that had actually difficult platforming and it really shows.

I’m 25 and I’ll be taking a 130k euro, mortgage loan (against my apartment) to buy and hold BTC. Any thoughts?

0 Upvotes

Edit 26.10.26

Sincerely thank you all for the critique and advice. This is my first serious reddit post and I'm amazed of how many different perspectives I got and how that can change ones thinking.

Pre story- In 2023 I advised my parents to Invest in Bitcoin, they made 5k -> 15k in a year. Then they gifted me the sum to invest. Through 2024-2025 I gambled/traded them away in crypto chasing bigger returns and trying to justify my time without a job. From then till now I have a stable and well paying job and have created a small foundation in my life (discipline and independence).

A brief of my situation now: I got a pretty good life- a great job, gf from 7 years, close with parents, a couple of friends and time and freedom to pursue what interests me (apartment, car, garage). The only thing missing is a true career/competence in a field (which for a man is important).

Brief of the loan: 130k. 3% interest, 30 years; After 1st year you could repay without costs; taxes are really low and legislation is pro crypto.

The overall Pros of the plan: in purely rational terms whatever you make above 3% a year is profit, you're leveraging an asset to buy an even harder asset, I've already be burned and think I know how to hodl now, you will have to take a loan for something at sometime in life, why not on Bitcoin?

Overall Cons: not worth the strain on your life, gambling your future, gambling your only safe haven, bad risk reward, DCA-ing the monthly fee would earn comparable returns in 30y.

There is so much more to life than Bitcoin- purpose, emotion, contentment, happiness, progress- not just number go up.

However, I'm too much ahead in the loan process and tomorrow I'll be signing the contract and from November I'll have the funds.

Based on everything I read I plan to: allocate the amount in parts carefully, don't rush and buy as I would DCA, see if my conviction about life and the plan is after 1 year and decide if to continue.

Again, thank you all for the help and support, you opened my eyes :)

Louis is trying to track down how pervasive signing people up for services trials is in Apple Stores. I am also curios if this is some isolate incidents or if it's every store. I was in an Apple Store recently and wasn't asked to sign up for anything but I also subscribe to a few services already.

Discussion will olivia rodrigo's fanbase last?

0 Upvotes

DISCLAIMER: I love Olivia Rodrigo. Have done since Driver's License. Drop Dead will definitely be my top song and I think YSPSFAGSIL is album of the year no question. On top of that, I admire her balls for being unapologetic about her stances. Do not take this as me slandering her because I think she deserves a better fanbase.

All that said, I think a chunk of her fanbase, at least online (which I know is not a 1-1 reflection of real life), aren't as much fans of her as they are haters of Sabrina Carpenter and Taylor Swift. You open a video of the Unravelled tour and it's not uncommon for one of the top comments to be "Taylor Swift wishes she could do this!" or variations upon it. It's also not uncommon for Livie accounts to be the loudest when it comes to Sabrina Carpenter backlash (after the wine moms ad dudebros have had their fun). And I am not saying you have to be a fan of every artist in the world or even every pop girlie. But if your fave is on tour and your first thought it about another artist, you do have to ask yourself how much of a fan you are.

I think this part of Olivia's fanbase are trying to position her as the anti-Carpenter/Swift. The one who is In It For The Music, the One True Pop Girl who's just not like the rest. And I am not sure how long this can last. As Megan Thee Stallion said, "they're ot pro-you, they're anti-me".

I believe Olivia will go on to have a long and successful career, she's clearly only going from strength to strength. But I do wonder if this part of her fanbase will crumble away with nothing to sustain them, or worse, turn on her.
