- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 weeks ago:
You’ve done nothing to instill any confidence in me about Chinese state sponsored social media apps and only supported my original point that I trust a US state sponsored social media app LESS than one from china at this point.
- Comment on Trump says TikTok should be tweaked to become “100% MAGA” 2 weeks ago:
There are multiple reasons for me. First and foremost is the data collection that they’ve been accused of; I know American companies do the same thing, but there’s something more nefarious about a state run data collection scheme than a public company collecting data to sell you ads, which I’m also trying to avoid as much as possible. Next, I don’t support their labor practices - using child, slave (Uyghurs) and cheaper labor is a big deterrent. I realize that some level of that is unavoidable with the way our society is based, but I don’t really need another social media outlet in my life anyway, so it’s a really easy cut for me.

I never used it because of the Chinese government affiliation. I’d feel even less inclined to use it with maga affiliation.
- Comment on Spotify is finally launching support for lossless music streaming 5 weeks ago:
I agree that the vast majority of people will not be able to distinguish one from another, but the company is the biggest streaming service and they’re behind their competitors in this aspect. They also have been promising this for years and not delivering.

- Comment on Trump is building ‘one interface to rule them all.’ It’s terrifying. 1 month ago:
We need to start saying they’re adding people who own guns as a table in that database and either get conservatives onboard with stopping it, or more likely just be able to call them hypocrites for one more thing.

It’s only socialism when democrats do it.

How many sports cars were in the CEO’s garage during each era though?
- Comment on President Trump calls on Intel CEO to resign 2 months ago:
He’s definitely not conflicted with how he’s going to handle the situation until people forget about it, but he’s got a pretty severe conflict of interest in that he’s likely a party to the criminal activity outlined in those files.
- Comment on President Trump calls on Intel CEO to resign 2 months ago:
Trump is highly conflicted on the Epstein files and needs to remove himself from all influence over the case.

He may have deleted it, but you know he printed it first and hung it on his refrigerator.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 3 months ago:
Yeah, totally agree on this. If you put the last two names in front of me and asked which was newer, I’d have no idea. The new one has multiple versions too so it makes it more confusing.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 3 months ago:
Yeah agreed, he’s absolutely going to demand a military response to any attacks on his business, but maybe that’s enough to divide the republicans in congress and they’ll start to rein him in. Still going to take a lot for them to develop the balls to stand up to him, but might be good for us if Iran just goes after his businesses.
- Comment on Trump social media site brought down by Iran hackers 3 months ago:
Might be smart for Iran to just attack trump’s businesses as retribution for the bombings; if they attack the military, we’ll surely get pulled into another war, but just going after trump’s businesses will probably avoid a military response and maybe will make republicans come around to the fact that he should have divested himself from his businesses when he became president.

We need to be taxing the companies for every job they replace with ai and use that to pay for it.

I’m a childless man and I don’t miss the sense of community one bit.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
I’d much rather receive either of those than something that I don’t need, want or even like that I have to pretend that I really wanted, then either attempt to return it or store for a while in case that person comes over before ultimately throwing it away. Most of the presents I have received on birthdays and holidays fall into that category.
- Comment on Seattle Sets the Stage for Automatic Traffic Camera Expansion - The Urbanist 5 months ago:
They just stopped using the traffic cameras in my county this year. I’ve been pulled over twice this year now after never getting a camera ticket and not being pulled over for the last 15 years. I guess they have to make the money somewhere. I’d prefer the cameras.

I bet you make incorrect assumptions about people you don’t know regularly.
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 year ago:
I never get the first one and rarely the second one. If it says to click all the squares with motorcycles and it’s just the one big picture, am I supposed to click stuff like the tire and mirrors? I always do and never get it right. Then most of the time they ask me to identify motorcycles, they show me motor scooters and what am I supposed to do then? I think I just need to get one of these bots to do it for me.
