I used to have the same issue with condoms, but closer to 1 in 3. It might be worth shopping around for condoms with a better fit

Unfortunately companies like ea and ubisoft have these "indie support programs". Where they offer funding for indie devs, who often grow dependent on that funding. Then they threathen to pull the funding unless they develop what the publisher wants.

This is how trail out started amazing, then quickly got destroyed by ea. They never got to the point of properly polishing the game before they started pushing tons of mindless dlc's. In the end the rushed bug fixes and forced extras caused the game to run like garbage.

They took a good game we paid for, ruined it and tossed it aside. Unfortunately though, this problem won't be stopped with legislation as easy as the "stop killing games" thing

This thing of moving everything to a cloud service. It all gets more expensive, interdependent, less reliable and your stuff is taken from you on the whim of some ceo.

It's part of why I want more support for stopkillinggames.com. It's not just games that are dissapearing after you buy them. It's heated seats in cars, cloud subscriptions for security cameras, etc.

But even worse than that, why does everything need to be an app on my phone?

How many people around you don't own a computer and only use their phones for everything? in c/[email protected]

I taught my current girlfriend to use a computer. She used to be rather frustrated every evening trying to do minor tasks on her phone for hours on end.

Also what the heck is up with the absolute garbage being sold as "flagship"

Lab grown meat is so expensive and small in quantities that it is inconsequential alright

Oh no, the overpopulation problem is getting less of a problem, how will we survive with more to go around for everyone?

Reducing meat dependence, looking for better options (reddthat.com)
 

TLDR: I am looking for more diverse non-meat options than your average restaurant or supermarket provides. Because they don't quite work for me as well as I'd like.

I am not a picky eater, I enjoy vegan food and non-vegan food alike. I've noticed most "vegan" advertised products are just meat imitations that taste like seasoned cardboard.

Too darn often do I see cooks and stores trying to replace the visuals of meat, rather than finding something that tastes satisfying in it's own way. I'd be eating more vegan food if the options available had a similar convenience and filled me up properly.

Which may sound stupid, but I've tried going vegan and I did not feel great. I guess beans and tofu are not for me. Now I realise I may sound like an uninformed dingus who doesn't know how to find decent ingredients and recipes... That's because I am.

But I would really like to find some options that work for me. And I'm fine with trying 20 things over the course of a month and deciding only a few work for me.

Does anyone here have any advice?

Why do farms have such tall roofs? (reddthat.com)
 

Cows aren't super tall, nor is the occasional tractor. Why do barns often have roofs three stories high?

Recyclable materials (reddthat.com)
 

This may be a stupid idea, but to my knowledge metals is are some of the best materials when it comes to being easily recyclable.

Ignoring the cost and reusability, wouldn't recyclable disposable cups made of metal be a better deal than the largely incinerated plastic cups?

How do you find content to consume on social media? (reddthat.com)
 

Do you just go to the home/feed and let it be fed to you? Do you have things you follow specifically and nothing else? Somewhere in between?

What positive things do you expect from Trumps upcoming four years? (reddthat.com)
 

Maybe this question seems stupid, so be it. But I've seen mostly bad news, and I struggle to get away from it.

I want to know this: What do you think is going to be good and or great in the upcoming four years of us politics?

Why is the term "bloodline" often used instead of "family tree"? (reddthat.com)

edit: The reason I find it an odd term is because human ancestry literally doesn't follow a line. It always branches off, even if only to just include two parents. It's a tree like structure, a line would misrepresent it

Having to pay for giving solar energy back (reddthat.com)
 

it's weird, but legal for some reason. Giving back energy to the grid can cost money. Shy of just stacking a bunch of batteries, what could I do with the spare summer sunlight?

This should be a pretty basic feature, just not having a private message be there anymore. But for some reason that does not work here?

I tried searching for this. I found a year old open issue on GitHub and some reddit users complaining about this very issue.

Talking with some people in the comments here, it seems like some people don't understand that one might not want a message to be in their face. Or the idea that just because something could be recovered doesn't mean we should treat it as an absolute
