- Comment on Misogyny is thriving in our schools. Why aren’t we doing more? 7 hours ago:
Why do you blame teachers, apparently because they’re women, and not their parents?
This is the result of giving “conservative” misogynists a platform instead of a black eye.

- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 1 day ago:
It looks like the cumulative total of plastics produced by the 80’s was around 2-3 trillion tons, whereas now it’s probably more like 20-30T.
- Comment on Australians could cut power bills by 90% if they made their homes more energy efficient, report finds 4 days ago:
Just another example of the externalities of capitalism. Because housing is focused on maximizing profits for the few, instead of housing quality and security for the population, renters spend 10x more on energy, which also means dramatically more e-waste for bespoke/temporary appliances, and greenhouse gas emissions.
- Comment on Holy sh*t: Jack Dorsey just Announced Bitchat(A secure, decentralized, peer-to-peer messaging app for iOS and macOS that works over Bluetooth mesh networks) Licensed Under Public Domain. 5 days ago:
In the context of the US fascist dictatorship and Apple being the dominant smartphone there, starting with Apple makes sense.
If it can be done within Apples curated monopoly, it will be technically possible on Android (probably).
- Comment on China’s Next-Gen TV Anchors Hustle for Jobs AI Already Does: The rise of AI in broadcasting is pushing China’s top journalism schools to rethink what skills still set human anchors apart. 6 days ago:
The AI anchor will never die, grow old, or grow a conscience. It can remain the perfect propaganda operative, A/B test in real time, etc, forever.
- Comment on Most people's earliest memories are at around 3 or 4 years of age, which correlates with the age kids start asking "why" for everything. Kids start asking why when they become self-aware. 1 week ago:
It’s probably more related to how the hardware stores the software; the strength of a memory depends on the strength (complexity) in the interconnectivity of neurons related to that memory. The more some piece of information relates to other information, the physically stronger the connection of neurons that make up that information become.
Prior to 3ish our brains are focused on the foundations needed to form memories; sensory perception, language, etc. Once we start converting collections of senses and language into experiences it probably reaches a threshold where those pathways are complex enough to last, and continually reinforced or built upon, for a lifetime.

At this point I just don’t click any links in emails related to my accounts. I go directly to the website and login to perform the action. Emails are just a notification.
- Comment on AI Robots Could Fill $10 Trillion Labor Gap as World Ages 1 week ago:
Whoever commands the killbots will genocide the 99% and rule humanity, forevermore… until whenever general AI is achieved and the remaining humans are eliminated; they will have proven they can’t be trusted.
- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 1 week ago:
Louder for the people in the back!
Zionists = religious nationalists / colonialists / fascists
Anti-zionists = anti-all-of-the-above
The Jewish ethnic/religious part is completely irrelevant. There are many thousands of non-jews who support Israel’s genocide, as evidenced by this batshit draconian illegitimate law.
If you just hate jews you’re some flavor of fascist or religious nationalist, so no better than zionists.
- Comment on Eight sunscreens that failed their SPF claims tested by same overseas lab 1 week ago:
Instead, it relied on self-certification by sunscreen manufacturers that their products met all regulatory requirements.
Fucking clown world corporate dictatorship masquerading as “democracy”.
- Comment on Big Tech CEOs Spent Millions to Influence Trump and Republican Lawmakers, Attempting to Secure Billions in Tax Handouts Paid For By Ripping Health Care, Food From Families 1 week ago:
It’s every billionaire and the corporations they own, and probably a majority of people with 50+ million. Basically the 0.01%.
- Comment on UK | Children should not be strip-searched or detained unless a last resort, say MPs 1 week ago:
Epstein didn’t kill himself
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 1 week ago:
Everyone who downloads this app will be shortlisted for the gulags. Big tech is working hand in hand with fascism.
- Comment on FCC chair decides inmates and their families must keep paying high phone prices 1 week ago:
Corporate dictatorship, doing corporate dictatorship things, because it’s a corporate dictatorship.
- Comment on Truth-telling inquiry finds Australia’s indigenous people faced genocide 1 week ago:
I’m almost positive that the vast majority if historians consider every instance of colonialisation an act of genocide against the indigenous population. How is this any different? Does this change anything?
- Comment on IDF soldiers are sad about new orders to stop massacring Palestinians at aid sites 1 week ago:
Not only will America go to your country and kill all your people. But they’ll come back 20 years later and make a movie about how killing your people made their soldiers feel sad.
- Comment on IDF soldiers are sad about new orders to stop massacring Palestinians at aid sites 1 week ago:
How can a soldier in a tank, backed by an entire army of ethnic cleansers, defend themselves from starving unarmed civilians trying to acquire morsels of food?
Jesus himself would shoot first and ask questions later… like 50 years from now… after the final solution is complete… in documentaries about the genocide… titled “never again, for realsies this time”
- Comment on Israel | Benjamin Netanyahu corruption trial delayed on diplomatic and security grounds 2 weeks ago:
Corporate dictatorships doing what corporate dictatorships do.

This is an ad, and bullshit.
- Comment on Australian police beat an opposition politician so badly that she might lose an eye -- simply for being at an anti-genocide protest. 2 weeks ago:
Many western “democracies” have turned protesting into a crime over the last 2 decades under the guise of “national security”. Only a small percentage of the population took notice at the time, and the other 95% are surprised that their rights were taken away when they weren’t paying attention.
- Comment on One Of Hong Kong's Last Opposition Parties Says It Will Disband 2 weeks ago:
Let this be a lesson on the viability of “peaceful protest” against an authoritarian dictatorship.

I understood that reference
- Comment on Australia risks losing ‘war on nicotine’ in same way as war on drugs as illegal tobacco sales explode 3 weeks ago:
The tax on cigarettes is basically just racketeering; the government extracting a cut from drug addicts. The tax went well beyond the burden on the healthcare system a long time ago, and they don’t even use it on the healthcare system, so fuck 'em.
They were stupid to think they could increase it forever without a black market filling the gap. Neolibs have learned nothing.
- Comment on Google killed Maps Timeline, so I self-hosted a better one [OnTracks] 3 weeks ago:
Lol. The only thing this setting does is hide the information from the user. Google, or a thousand other data brokers (many probably created by Google for this purpose) still retain that data indefinitely.
- Comment on US | Trump Reportedly Greenlights Plan for US Attack on Iran Without Congressional Approval 3 weeks ago:
Special military operation
- Comment on Australia has ‘no alternative’ but to embrace AI and seek to be a world leader in the field, industry and science minister says 3 weeks ago:
And we’ll do it all with hopes and dreams
- Comment on Pentagon suspends Israel adviser from Joint Staff after discovering posts calling Israel a 'death cult' and the country's 'worst ally' 3 weeks ago:
Woah. There are still sane senior officers at the Pentagon? Gotta remove all of them for the fascist coup and dictatorship to achieve its final solution.
- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 3 weeks ago:
100%. Half the time I get blocked due to VPN or whatever I just close the tab and go with my life. The rest of the time I try all known workarounds. If those fail, I just go with my life.
My hatred for monopolisation and enshittification is stronger than my desire to watch content on any platform.
