Yes, ignore false history.
- Comment on How screwed would one be if their email provider shuts down? 4 days ago:
I recently lost my oldest email and I didn’t plan accordingly. Roadrunner email. It’s still a pain in the butt. I’ve managed to change almost everything (that I can REMEMBER) to my newer email, but there are two that haven’t been changed because they require an email to the old email first… It’s gone.
That email was probably 20 years old and I have no idea what services I had signed up through it.
The moral of my story is to read emails from your email provider. Apparently they sent out warnings 6 months in advance, but I always ignored their emails.

Reducing the budget of the IRS yielding a 42% reductions in audits from 2010 to 2017.

Unless of coarse if we’re taking about military funding, or tax credits(see defund) for legacy corporations
- Comment on YSK the full scope of the recent US presidential immunity decision 4 months ago:
Early in the morning of July 8, 2025. Seal team 6 begins operation Orange Julius. At the same time, all around the country, under executive orders, sovereign citizens are rounded up and placed in immigration detention centers (you know why).
Maga Americans were swift to respond, but were no match for the US military, Joe Biden declared martial law, and made it a crime to wear red hats or raise the front of your truck only, even listening to Toby Keith could land you in prison.
…it could happen, to you
- Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term? 5 months ago:
Joe Lieberman was his name, while he did not act alone, I’ll always remember he took the public option from us.
Also he founded No Labels, the “Unity” party that does not have a platform, but does have billionaire donors

Looking for this comment, I’m still running my craftsman 19.2 volt tools, but with a 20v DeWalt adapter, saved my from throwing away 1 reciprocating saw, 1 light, 1 1/4" impact, 2 drills, 1 90° drill, and a circular saw.

I love to hate on the Pontiac Aztec as much as the next guy, it wouldn’t be caught dead with a cyber truck.
- Comment on Bad Bots Account for 73% of Internet Traffic: Analysis 11 months ago:
It just means automated search, like a search engine does constantly to stay relevant. Yes ai’s do it, but also tons of websites and businesses.
Bad bots do it too, but they are bad
- Comment on Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games 11 months ago:
How about the example of Transformers(2007) where GM very gently shoehorned their product into nearly every character.
This movie killed the movie theater for me, I felt like I paid to watch a commercial

Dune II is super fun, if you want to play the same old game, but with more modern rts features you should check out dune legacy.
- Comment on in the future a voice actor will probably be a person who provides a library of voice clips to train an AI on 1 year ago:
Val Kilmer lost his voice to throat cancer and made his own.

Also the article points out the controversy in using these, specifically using Anthony Bordains clips to generate things he never said.
- Comment on Fable Studios created an AI-generated episode of South Park... during a Hollywood strike over AI. 1 year ago:
"Fable started in 2018 as a spinoff from Facebook’s Oculus (how times have changed since then), working on VR films — a medium that never really took off. Now it has seemingly pivoted to AI, "
I wonder how much of the ai hype is just huge investments into hardware, looking for profits.
