A yacht full of NFT owners is just about the last place in this universe that I’d want to be.

Exactly!

username checks out
- Comment on What do you think might happen if Luigi Mangione isnt found guilty? 2 weeks ago:
The extra-judicial nature of our society favours the rich. They get away with murder every minute of every day? Why not Luigi?
- Comment on Instagram says it will alert parents if their teen repeatedly searches for terms related to self-harm or suicide in the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia 2 weeks ago:
Just push them to darker parts of the internet why don’t cha?
All this “for the kids” shit is directly at the expense of the kids.
- Comment on Race for AI is making Hindenburg-style disaster ‘a real risk’, says leading expert 3 weeks ago:
No!
Fire BIG. Big fire bad!
Run away!
- Comment on What was your social media path? 3 weeks ago:
Yup. I still post tabs on there every once in a while. Did a bunch of Enslaved tabs in the past couple years.
- Comment on What was your social media path? 3 weeks ago:
In order: IRC (very briefly), MSN Messenger, Ultimate-Guitar forums, Facebook, Reddit, Lemmy.
MSN and U-G forums was peak internet era for me.
Deleted my FB account in 2017, migrated to Lemmy with the mass Reddit exodus when they fucked with the API. Permanently deleted my account that day.
- Comment on EVE Online - the Ikitursa Haeav Assault Cruiser helping clear out a wormhole 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on ChatGPT is down for many users in major OpenAI outage - 9to5Mac 5 weeks ago:
It’s definitely not me. I don’t use that shit for anything. I hope it stays down forever.
- Comment on De-Escalating Social Media 1 month ago:
Huh, that’s an interesting one. I’m glad I’m not the only one hearing something weird.
- Comment on De-Escalating Social Media 1 month ago:
Haha! I’m so sorry. Plz don’t hurt me lol Also, you gotta let me know what you hear when you get around to it! I’m very curious.
- Comment on De-Escalating Social Media 1 month ago:
I have tried to hear that instead of “Hot pickle!” for years and I just can’t. This feels like another of of those blue dress/yanni things to me.
- Comment on De-Escalating Social Media 1 month ago:
I heard “Hot pickle!” in a completely unrecognizable accent and have been confused ever since. Was it Mario that said that? Lakitu? Whose voice is that if not Mario’s and if it is Mario… What the hell? Lol
He says it when you select a level to play.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 1 month ago:
A summary of what you need to know about the state of “business” in 2026.
- Comment on Majority of CEOs report zero payoff from AI splurge 1 month ago:
Its not like there are zero uses for AI, its that the use cases they’re trying to shove down our throats are the worst ones.
I’m a certified AI hater, but I still use it on occasion to help with spreadsheet formulas.
- Comment on Do these murderers or mass shooters or hostage takers do they actually commit suicide more often than not? Or does a cop take a good shot and blame the offender as suicide? I would do the latter 1 month ago:
I think the police would LOVE to take the credit…
Are you sure? They didn’t seem interested at all when that fuckface chose Robb Elementary in Uvalde, Texas as an ideal target for his rage.
They had all the opportunity in the world to make a name for themselves and let a bunch of kids die instead.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 month ago:
Prohibition of AI does indeed prevent Bandcamp’s servers from being overwhelmed by the storage needs of slop “artists” and the gruel they call their “music”.
I’ve been re-reading LOTR lately and I like to put on Middle-Earth ambience in the background. Do you have any idea how much LOTR themed ambient slop is on YouTube? There are channels with over 100 videos, each exactly a 3-hour slopfest of sounds with HD/4k resolution slop art playing on screen.
Considering the vast majority of real artists might put out 5 hours of music in their entire careers, why the hell would bandcamp want to host hundreds of hours of fake music from a single source and pay for all that storage?
AI is a plague upon humanity. Bandcamp is on the right side of history and I’m happy to have my music on their platform.
- Comment on Bandcamp bans purely AI-generated music from its platform 1 month ago:
Major labels have a presence on there too though.
- Comment on "Not A Single Pixel" Of The New Ecco Game Will Be Generated By AI, Insists Series Creator 1 month ago:
This actually made me laugh out loud. 😆
- Comment on I have seen a lot of movies where the Catholic School Nuns smack a students hand for being disruptive or something is this a trope or a real something? Like most notable in Blues Brothers 1 month ago:
Dude, the nuns at my dad’s elementary school beat him and traumatized him so much that he has PTSD.
Its pure evil to abuse a child. No surprise that agents of the church took no issue with such evil behaviour.
- Comment on Dell says the quiet part out loud: Consumers don't actually care about AI PCs — "AI probably confuses them more than it helps them" 2 months ago:
They want their greasy tendrils all up in your PC’s guts. Every bit of info flowing in your system can be monetized. All they care about is money and dominance and their “AI” in everyone’s devices is their wet dream.
Cancer is preferable to tech bros as cancer doesn’t know its killing the host. Tech bros know full well their actions are killing the planet and its inhabitants. Their actions are willfully vile and toxic; completely at odds with the needs of humanity.
Don’t expect them to ever do the right thing for anyone but themselves.
- Comment on Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal 2 months ago:
Mainly just the satisfaction of supporting a project we like. IIRC, my Mom’s PC is on the version they’re sunsetting too. Pretty sure we’re gonna need to update it anyway.
- Comment on Linux Distros Designed for Former Windows Users Are Picking Up Steam | Linux Journal 2 months ago:
My mom loves Zorin OS! We’re strongly considering the pro version now.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 months ago:
Rust is repairable unless the frame’s structural integrity has been compromised. That much rust is an oddity, even in the rust belt. Many owners undercoat their vehicles which significantly prolongs the life of the vehicle.
If you’re really against purchasing a modern car, as I am, you still have plenty of options.
A new car is going to cost you thousands anyway. Why not just invest that money in a car you already like?
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 months ago:
There’s plenty of older cars sitting in used lots. You can avoid newer cars if you buy one of those or simply keep up with the maintenance on your vehicle. Even if the engine dies, its replaceable.
- Comment on The Global Rise of Low-Quality AI Videos: new research shows that 21-33% of YouTube’s feed may consist of AI slop or brainrot videos 2 months ago:
I wish Youtube operated like a PiHole where you could upload a list of channels and block them all in one fell swoop.
- Comment on Is laying on your stomach every once in a while good for you? 3 months ago:
I’ve always wanted a massage table so I could lay flat on my stomach with my head in a neutral position and read by looking through the hole.
- Comment on Google CEO: If an AI bubble pops, no one is getting out clean 3 months ago:
More like we juiced the bubble so good trying to make a trillion dollars that you (world governments) better not let it pop.
- Comment on Is it weird that i talk to my pets more articulately than i sometimes talk to actual people? 3 months ago:
You’re not alone. I have very detailed convos with my cats all the time. I think its easier because you can say whatever you want and they won’t judge.
It’s almost like its own little mini catharsis sometimes.
