- Comment on Why are there so many Christmas songs, yet hardly any New Year's ones? 1 day ago:
Nope, it was written for a minstrel show, to mock black folks. The songwriter later moved south to join the confederacy.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 2 days ago:
Yeah, his photos and other content he generated may be retrievable via personal backups, but if he bought media or apps from Apple, those are unavailable if he’s not authenticated via Appleid, and if his devices can’t authenticate he is basically unable to use them for anything.

Sorry, let me clarify: your tattoos won’t look cool when you’re older. This dude isn’t you.
- Comment on Hmm 1 week ago:
“Hmmm,” as in “hmmm, is there already a dontputyourdickinthat community?”
- Comment on Would it be weird of me to send friend requests to old friends I knew in school 15 years ago? 2 weeks ago:
I think it would be both normal and probably welcomed by a lot of them (as long as you’re not pushing an MLM.) Worst case scenario, they decline your friend request, but it’s not “weird.”
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
I was mostly joking about apple’s rule that they don’t show villains in movies using Apple products.
- Comment on Israel’s IDF Bans Android Phones—iPhones Now ‘Mandatory’ 2 weeks ago:
Odd, I thought Apple didn’t want villains using iPhones.
- Comment on Waymo Forced to Halt Overnight Operations As Punishment for Causing Nonstop Ruckus 2 weeks ago:
Using “ruckus” I the title and not referencing Wu Tang in the article? Straight to jail.

I’m not diabetic and the situation with insulin fills me with a white hot rage.

Who am I? There’s a sign outside says Lou’s Tavern. I’m fuckin Lou. Who the fuck are you?
- Comment on Microsoft AI CEO pushes back against critics after recent Windows AI backlash — "the fact that people are unimpressed ... is mindblowing to me" 4 weeks ago:
Pro tip: when your customers don’t like your product, it’s not their fault. It’s yours, and the appropriate response is not complaining or incredulity that people don’t like it. The appropriate response is to change the product or scrap it completely.
- Comment on They Wylin' 4 weeks ago:
Listen, slick Willie might be a child raping scumbag, but he knows a DJT blowjob is going to be all teeth and self-aggrandizement. No one wants to have oral interrupted every 10 seconds by the person giving oral talking about how great they are at giving oral.
- Comment on Reddit mod jailed for sharing movie sex scenes in rare “moral rights” verdict 4 weeks ago:
Seems like this was based on the people whose images were being exploited complaining to the court, so their view of what infringes their reputation.
- Comment on Reddit mod jailed for sharing movie sex scenes in rare “moral rights” verdict 4 weeks ago:
Except a remake would not use the original actor’s image, a trailer is part of marketing the actor agreed to, and parodies are covered by fair use.

I hadn’t, but I also meant this guy:

But so has Bubbles.
- Comment on grindr dump (in post body) 5 weeks ago:
The point is, if 10% of guys in a given population are unspeakably awful, that’s the 10% who you will hear from on a dating app. You don’t get that from fems because they are typically being pursued on all dating and social media apps, because we still largely hold to the cultural norm that men/masc presenting people are responsible for asking the other person out.
It seems worse on Grindr because the majority of users are cis men-the very people who have been told since birth that it’s their job to pursue sexual connections. Of course that leads to poor behavior.
- Comment on They even do Price Discrimination on video games now 1 month ago:
The base game is $60 on the PlayStation store for me 😭

Remember kids, Juggalo makeup defeats facial recognition. Woop woop!

- Comment on Google pulls the plug on first and second gen Nest Thermostats 1 month ago:
If you can point out to republican voters how the DMCA fucks them too, you can bury your shitty GOP rep in calls and letters which might make them change.
Maybe.
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 1 month ago:
That’s in the comics. We’re talking about the movies, where the personification of death is not a factor.
- Comment on Why did Thanos, with the power of all the infinity stones, never think to try doubling the amount of resources in the world? 1 month ago:
Because it’s a pretty dumb story at its core. Because they wanted the “worst villain” but couldn’t come up with something more interesting or intelligent than “misguided environmental terrorist.”
- Comment on I don't think so 1 month ago:
Yep. Much like the swastika was a Hindu and Buddhist symbol (that Hindus and Buddhists have largely given up b/c Nazis) “volk” is one of those things the Nazis tainted for good.

🤢🤮
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 1 month ago:
I never played RDR2 because I played 1 and GTA 4 and I just don’t like how Rockstar games play.
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 1 month ago:
Honestly impressive for a 20+ year-old game to still inspire hot takes.HL2 remains undefeated.
- Comment on They say word-of-mouth marketing is the most effective form of marketing. What games did you (not) enjoy that came well-recommended by friends to you, and why did they recommend it to you? 1 month ago:
This is kind of tangential to the question, but an incredibly irritating former friend would not shut the fuck up about Elden Ring for months after it came out and kept telling me to get it. I told him I didn’t like souls-like games and he said ER was “different” without explaining how. I still haven’t played it, even with recommendations from other people I trust. Same guy ensured I’ll never play Death Stranding, too.
- Comment on Framework supporting far-right racists? 2 months ago:
The issue with that is the toxic/racist/homophobic/transphobic people will by their behavior push out people who would otherwise contribute to development of projects. To have a big tent you can’t tacitly accept bigotry.
- Comment on You might be proud but she is disgusted 2 months ago:
Same. On the handful of occasions I’ve been asked I still don’t want to do it.
