- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 1 week ago:
My financial situation means that if that phone fails to work or breaks rapidly, the loss of that $200 is extremely consequential. Odds are lower that an unused phone will break within the 5 years i need them to last

Nope this is just run if the mill bullying again
- Comment on What Phone do you guys use? 1 week ago:
Well google just renabled automatic app updates and it broke a bunch of my apps because I get the pre adware/spyware/buyout version of apps. So ive been in the market the last week for a graphene phone. Seems pretty likely ill get a stock android phone thats supported by grapheneOS and flash it myself, im uncomfortable with buying a pre used $200 phone.

You do? That doesnt really seem like a very good reason to make fun of him.

- Comment on Console Commands and Mods Shouldn’t Disable Achievements — Consoles Are Holding Players Back for No Good Reason 1 week ago:
Yeah, i assumed this was the default for pc as well. Admittedly, i dont know much about steam achievements though as my frist playthrough of a game is normally obtained… elsewhere 🏴☠️
- Comment on I feel like half the time someone is accused of being a bot, the accuser is the bot. 1 week ago:
Take a look at my post hostory, i love writing essays that are normally very technically oriented. I think the occasional typo is the only reason i havent been accused of being a bot tbh
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 1 week ago:
You have to understand that most humans are really fucking stupid, or at least illogical. Take every interaction with a grain of salt, because the person you are arguing with at the end of the day is a barely functional slab of meat that nature trained to think, as a joke.
- Comment on What's the weirdest argument you've gotten into with someone? 1 week ago:
I like to just respond with “Oh… ok.” And then stare at them for a massively uncomfortable amount of time. Really let them marinate in it. Even if they dont realise theyre being stupid, it makes them feel very awkward and hopefully pavlovs them into saying less dumb shit around me.

Js, i love reading anything fiction. If you want to either just to share your work, or constructive criticism, let me know. Ive been wanting a writingprompts community here, but i dont want to start one because of personal issues.
- Comment on Has the scientific community ever reconciled with the fact global warming is going to happen and there is no stopping it? 1 week ago:
Yeah, if they were in one place. Not 5000 remaining survivors scattered all sround the world. Also, keep in mind that this would be an ongoing catastrophe, not something the world will just bounce back from once the humans are gone.
- Comment on What happens to flies when you let them fly out the window of a car at 75 mph? 1 week ago:
The acceleration over time(g force) is determined by the balance between the size and shape of the wing compared to the momentum of the flies body, as long as that proportion is extremely small it would fall below the material strength of the wings connective tissue. Seeing as their wings are extremely small and their momentum is extremely small, the only real variable here is the shape of their wings(technically im referring to its aerodynamic drag versus lift both with respect to the vector of motion, but were just gonna say shape{also when i say “wing” im referring to the area exposed to oncoming atmosphere, which would include the body}). As long as the shape isnt too big in comparison to the momentum, it should be fine.
Tl;dr/eli5: if it tucks its wings it will survive. At that speed if it untucks its wings they get ripped off and the fly becomes a walk.
- Comment on ChatGPT’s ‘Adult Mode’ Could Spark a New Era of Intimate Surveillance 1 week ago:
If you dont like how a tool is going to be used, remove the social impetus to use it that way. People dont turn to these chat bots because its fun, they do it because they are lonely. And until that loneliness is dealt with, there will always be solutions like this and society is going to become more fractured and corrupted. While I agree that this is horrific and not a good thing, I also recognise that without tackling the actual issue here discussing the morals of this chat bot is pointless, at best.
Tl;dr if your ability to care begins and ends with “ai bad” without understanding the human cause for why it is being used, then you might as well save your breath.
- Comment on That's how the world works. 1 week ago:
Then it would take one more at that point. Solve enough problems and eventually people will realize they need to stop creating them. Or solve your neighbors. As long as someone is ACTUALLY DOING SOMETHING against the biggest problem, the rest of them can wait until someone is ready to solve them. When the biggest issue is dealt with, then we can start solving the smaller ones.

America, where there is an actively sitting known pedophile president protecting a group of elite pedophiles
Well, we’re not trying that hard. Seriously, it takes one person to put an end to all this misery and yet we don’t. Until there’s real progress in the US, it’s safe to say that each and every American supports our presidents actions if nothing else through refusal to stop him.

When we first meet bill, he’s working on a teleporter that pretty clearly digitizes you, transports you down a wire, and then reconstructs you at the other end, so there’s that.

- Comment on He was a perfect hire — until a U.S. company exposed him as a likely North Korean operative 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I don’t generally take anything as fact without checking it out, but that gives me some stuff to look into. Also, it doesn’t contradict anything I know to be true, so that’s immediately a good sign as I can easily sniff out bullshit typically. I appreciate your discussion, hopefully your education goes well for you and you have a nice day.

This is wildly pedantic, but ufologists must love aeronautics. I’m personally more interested in what’s in the ufo tbh.

Ah, using modern Photoshop to look like fake people, tale as old as time. It is kinda funny that in showing that ai is crap, you showed that humans are crap too.

Ok, not sure why you would do that but that’s on you buddy.
- Comment on He was a perfect hire — until a U.S. company exposed him as a likely North Korean operative 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t an accusation, but from your comments I’m guessing you’re what they call a tankie. I don’t personally care, as I don’t make judgements on things I know I’m not educated about. But I do have a question for someone who is not immediately opposed to North Korea: it’s undeniable that there is an ongoing and long time food shortage. I’ve been told this is due to poor internal policy, and that it is due to sanctions. If you are willing, I’d like to hear your thoughts on why this issue exists and what could realistically be done by North Korea to solve it, whether it be via some external influence or hopefully something they could do internally.
As for your comment, yeah. That’s completely true, and I don’t really have anything to add to that, other than your enemy being wrong doesn’t make you right.

- Comment on "Can You Paint Yourself This Colour" Tier List 2 weeks ago:
I think it is in Germany. I follow a lot of naturism stuff, and it seems they hold yearly events there where everyone does body paint. It makes me really sad that we don’t have those types of communities in the US.
