- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 5 days ago:
Conversely, there are many other people from his time that definitely did exist and verifiably so. I have a bronze coin minted in Judea by Pontius Pilatus. I can look at it, I can touch it, it’s real. Even as an avowed agnostic, I see no reason why Jesus couldn’t have been a real person (minus the miracles that were almost certainly later additions).
- Comment on Schools in England send police to homes of absent pupils with threats to jail their parents 1 month ago:
The UK really has become an unmitigated shithole ever since the conservatives managed to make Brexit a reality. Nowadays I appreciate the island for having the decency not to touch us, and to serve as both a warning and an example to Europeans about what could happen on the mainland if we let it.
Fuck the UK (gov) and fuck the Tories.

Lol so the fintechbois actually got another one over on the WSB bagholders huh? Who’da thunk it?
- Comment on [Kind of weekly thread] Men over 30, how is your week going? 1 month ago:
Had a serious case of flu that got me midweek. Haven’t been remotely sick in any way since even way before the pandemic, so I guess my 40 year old corp- uhh, body wasn’t entirely up to par when it got that smackdown.
Apart from that, I took a midnight walk last night fully intending on taking my own life. I was stopped by two neighbor cats that walked with me and demanded atrention. This normally never happens. They kept following me until I burst into tears, played with them, thanked them for saving me and walked back home bawling my eyes out. For some reason these two angelic furry creatures just had to show me that, if nothing else, they appreciate my presence and companionship and would somehow miss me if I were gone.
So, nothing out of the ordinary all things considered.
- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 1 month ago:
Oh absolutely. I’m not conceited enough to imagine Valve is developing games for me or that I’m entitled to anything. Just venting my personal disappointment with their choice. I still consider them the cream of the crop in game and hardware development.
- Comment on Images leak of Valve's next game, and it's an Overwatch-style hero shooter 1 month ago:
Whatever it ends up being, I’m not interested. Never cared for competitive gaming. Sad that Valve has decided to use part of their enormous talent pool for, well, this while almost any genre would’ve been better.
Also, this is already a highly saturated niche. I don’t doubt Valve’s technical prowess and knowhow to develop a game that can surpass all the other ones in quality, but a gilded turd is still a turd under that gold leaf, even if it’s technically the best turd in the world.

They can. Raw manpower has never been their problem.
- Comment on OpenAI strikes Reddit deal to train its AI on your posts 1 month ago:
I didn’t delete my comments before nuking my account, but I’m pretty sure the grand majority were shitposts containing ample amounts of smut, gore and other ridiculous over the top shit. So I consider this a win.

I used to as well, but the environment changes so fast that I’ve given up trying to keep up with it.

- Comment on Todd Howard says Starfield's Shattered Space DLC arrives "in the fall", update fixing stupid map "really soon" 1 month ago:
Too late, already played through the game (not paid luckily) after the summer, what a waste of ~80 hours. Not really excited about adding more to the pile.
- Comment on We're all a little crazy 1 month ago:
I posit that the human mind is made up of dozens, or perhaps even hundreds/thousands “smaller agents” that work together to create consciousness as an emergent property of the whole, which makes it impossible to isolate and say “this, THIS right here IS concsciousness”. That does not mean each of those has their own personality, per sé.

Things aren’t much better on the other side of the small pond. It’s arbitrary whether I get my script or not, or what brand (which doesn’t matter really).
- Comment on Carers threatened with prosecution over minor breaches of UK benefit rules 2 months ago:
DWP must be an absolutely miserable place to work. Finding all possible reasons to hinder and charge the people they’re supposed to be helping. Damn glad I don’t live in the UK. I would GTFO if I did.

- Comment on Voting compulsory for 16 and 17-year-olds in Belgium, court rules 3 months ago:
Everything here is preregistered. You get a summons letter telling you which polling station to vote at. Usually the local school or whatnot. The summons include a specific hour so you never really spend more than 20 minutes tops, but I’ve also been in & out in under 5 minutes before.
