Let’s make the internet weird.
- Comment on Microsoft sneaks ads into the new Outlook for Windows 9 months ago:
Honestly convenience. It’s easier to use for work. Also just found it easier to for gaming. At least that was true when I first started using Linux 5 or so years ago. I was dual booting on my old build and haven’t taken the time to partition a Linux distro on my new build. I run Kubuntu on a 2011 MacBook Pro for a smart home setup and I love it. The machine was almost useless and now runs about as well as any other laptop I’ve got. So I guess the short answer is I need/like having the option.

Well no. It was the red like for outlook though. I already used Thunderbird on my Kubuntu setup. Outlook was fine before the top email became an add. It was also easy to integrate with my work email.
- Comment on Microsoft sneaks ads into the new Outlook for Windows 9 months ago:
Yeah this was an immediate no from me on my home PC that I run windows on so I went and downloaded Thunderbird and have been happy ever since.
- Comment on China Tries To Censor Data About Nearly 1 Billion People in Poverty 10 months ago:
This was my first thought. Seems unlikely. I’d see this just as likely being propaganda.
- Comment on Elon Musk gives X employees one year to replace your bank - ‘You won’t need a bank account... it would blow my mind if we don’t have that rolled out by the end of next year.’ 1 year ago:
This guy wants to be SBF round 2. Watch. People are going to put their CASH on X.com with no regulation or anything while promising crazy returns if you jusf deposit your funds and “stake” your US dollars as a quasi-investment in X, only to have a total rug pull job with X filing for bankruptcy and all the money being unaccounted for. He will sell it as, “we have to have this money because the ADL forced all our advertisers off the platform”. Fortunately, all that’s left of the people on X.com are stragglers and the far right/nazis, so they will just lose their money.
If you are still on X, you’re supporting an anti-Semite ultra powerful billionaire plain and simple. Musk pushing all the same talking points. White genocide, Jews are the cause of their own persecution via ADL, etc. Quit giving this guy your money by engaging on his site.
The other possibility is that it’ll be like Tesla’s self driving tech that has been coming “by the years end” since 2016 and it’s just meant to drive investment. Both are equally likely. The guy is a fucking grifter to the max. I can’t believe I used to think the hyper loop was a cool/realistic vision for the future. Fuck Elon Musk.

What kind of games do these run?
- Comment on Why do sports commentators talk soft bullshit? 1 year ago:
It is really frustrating. I blame Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless. Kidding, but seriously. That style of commentary is absolute crap. Yelling is not an affective way to get your point across.
- Comment on Tech workers react to UPS drivers landing a $170,000 a year package with a mixture of anger and admiration 1 year ago:
Complaining about this is dumb. Someone else’s gain isn’t your loss. Everyone outside the top tier earners should be paid more. Period. I’m happy a union had the national stage representing UPS workers and showed why unions are important.
- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 1 year ago:
A long vehicle (truck, SUV, some crossovers) is MUCH easier to park with precision by backing up in my opinion.
- Comment on People who back into parking spots: Why? 1 year ago:
Arkansan here. Can confirm.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
No one talks about if, but I think the underlying cause is feeding the capitalism machine. We have an aging workforce and people aren’t having kids at near the rate needed to replace them. If people won’t have kids they want, force them to have kids they don’t won’t. It’s fucked up, but I think there is some truth to it in addition to virtue signaling to their base.
