- Comment on Doge reportedly using AI tool to create ‘delete list’ of federal regulations 2 days ago:
Because DOGE is still running on Elon Musk’s strategy of “move fast, break things, and don’t fix anything until shit’s on fire”. People won’t be dying in concentration camps because of DOGE, they’ll just be homeless and probably half-dead of starvation (because of the repeal of the PFDA).
- Comment on Itch.io deindexes NSFW games after becoming the latest target of skittish credit card companies and anti-porn group Collective Shout, catching an award-winning indie and more in the crossfire 2 days ago:
Except Collective Shout is Australian (which is unsurprising, considering that AUS is also a hotbed of hate groups).
- Comment on They're completely serious 5 days ago:
Yup. It’s not that soft tissue DOESN’T fossilize, it’s just that the conditions to do so are much rather, and soft tissue is obviously much more susceptible to degradation before fossilization.
- Comment on Yes, salesperson. Please fondle my underwear before I buy it. And judge me for what I choose. 1 week ago:
Remember kids, if you see someone shoplifting food/clothes/necessities, no you fucking didn’t.
- Comment on Mass Effect 5 is "still in pre-production" says director as BioWare shifts full focus to the sci-fi RPG amid dev reshuffles and reported layoffs 1 week ago:
Nah, media companies have been doing this for years now, and now the gaming industry has figured out the “cancel something and claim the potential profits as a tax writeoff”.
- Comment on pocket knife 1 week ago:
Why bother disposing of the corpse when they can just tell the media you were resisting arrest. Interesting fact: corpses can’t press charges.
- Comment on Missouri AG: Any AI That Doesn’t Praise Donald Trump Might Be “Consumer Fraud” (No, Really) 2 weeks ago:
Shortest was actually James Madison. 5’4".

Mechahitler*
- Comment on Future teachers in Oklahoma! 2 weeks ago:
This is just most education systems in America. You’re autistic or have other learning disabilities? Fuck you.
Unless you’re in a wealthy school district without easy access to a specialized school for “those people”, your options are limited if you’re in public school.

Benny Hinn?
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 4 weeks ago:
Also, unless you’ve got a way to pay rent or a house you own, good luck getting on housing assistance. Most cities have a waiting list months or years long - I know last time I had to look into it for myself, it was something like 15 months of waiting for a potential open slot anywhere in the city.
- Comment on 'Technofascist military fantasy': Spotify faces boycott calls over CEO’s investment in AI military startup 4 weeks ago:
I switched to Tidal and love it.
- Comment on Minnesota Shooting Suspect Allegedly Used Data Broker Sites to Find Targets’ Addresses 5 weeks ago:
Arguably, the list alone, plus the customized police vehicle and police outfit, would be enough premeditation.
- Comment on Trump Mobile launches $47 service and a gold phone 1 month ago:
I think he’ll try bigger and simply try to nationalize or end licensing for the big 4.
- Comment on Trump May Launch Wireless Phone Brand 1 month ago:
You’re missing the point. The admin has full control over spectrum licensing. This means Trump could easily have the FCC just revoke all other spectrum licenses for cellphone comms, and just forcibly seize those towers. Don’t look at it like it’s going to operate like a corporation, because I promise you it won’t.
- Comment on Trump May Launch Wireless Phone Brand 1 month ago:
See, here’s the thing when you’re the President. You can just have your FCC chair shut them down. You can actively quash literally any boundaries to being a monopoly, and nobody can do anything about it (from a legal or regulatory standpoint).
- Comment on ChatGPT will avoid being shut down in some life-threatening scenarios, former OpenAI researcher claims 1 month ago:
Yup. It’s just engineers telling it to concoct a scenario in which it would avoid being shut down at cost of human life.
- Comment on Facebook advertised a professional child kidnapping service to me 1 month ago:
They also close down and rename all the time for exactly this reason. It makes it awfully hard to do anything when the court records say We Fuck Up Your Kid LLC hasn’t existed for 3 years. There’s also often layers of legal shells that need to be peeled away too - a lot of them hire teens and young adults partly because they don’t know the law and are easy to throw under the bus when someone DOES die, and they’re easy to threaten into silence. That also doesn’t get into the complicity of local LEOs, town and state governments, and just outright lying - my former boyfriend wound up in one before he killed himself, and to everyone on the outside, they were just told it was a mental hospital for teens, thus, anything they told you was a lie.*
- Comment on The Los Angeles Police Department shot an Australian reporter with a rubber bullet while she was live on TV. Zero provocation. 1 month ago:
Especially since you can see the cop in question pointing his weapon directly at her and her news crew.
- Comment on Southern Baptists target porn, sports betting, same-sex marriage and 'willful childlessness' 1 month ago:
The same thing Russia is doing. They want to make it illegal to choose not to have kids if you’re a married woman (and then they’ll start penalizing not being married).
- Comment on British photojournalist hit during Los Angeles protests to undergo emergency surgery 1 month ago:
Sending war journos would definitely send a message.
- Comment on Take a shot of vitamin M and keep fighting, Soldier! 1 month ago:
Or you get a way to craft them and can make the most broken bullshit imaginable (Skyrim).
- Comment on Someone should convince Trump to wear colorful robes or a uniform and a fancy hat. 2 months ago:
Nah, he’s not that kind of dictator. He doesn’t need to feel like he’s in the military - he needs to feel like he’s above them, on top of them as it were. The big military parade isn’t for him to feel like a general - it’s so he can copy his authoritarian friends without actually having the military cred himself to back it up. It’s cargo cult dictatorship.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 months ago:
You would be incorrect. Many wealthier high schools put a ton of money into their sports facilities and equipment. Several HS in my state operate 10-thousand-plus-seating stadiums that look a lot like collegiate or semiprofessional facilities.
- Comment on The USA spends $15k/student annually which is 30% higher than the global median. Why do U.S. schools have "fundraisers" where kids are incentivized to sell stuff to people? 2 months ago:
- The schools that aren’t underfunded have millions of dollars in funds earmarked for sports usually.
- Comment on There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic. 2 months ago:
No no, don’t try to boil it down to “they want us fighting each other”. Those wealthy people, and a good chunk of those poorer people, actually truly believe in the things they are saying. A lot of them TRULY, DEEPLY BELIEVE that they have to shout this and spread the word because the stakes are nothing less than literal life and death.
- Comment on GOP sneaks decade-long AI regulation ban into spending bill - Ars Technica 2 months ago:
Does this not directly, nakedly violate the sovereignty clause?
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered or something idk 2 months ago:
I was gonna say “or like 10 minutes to Falkreath,” but Falkreath has nothing either.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 2 months ago:
I think I managed to get the Earth and Fire Crystals and couldn’t figure out how to get to where the Water Crystal was. All of THAT was from literal wandering.
- Comment on More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says 2 months ago:
Actually, yes. Donate what food you can, but I promise they have enough cans of beans, bags of rice, etc to last until Jesus comes. Especially because different areas have different people - one local pantry might just need a little bit of everything, while another one on the north side of your city needs a lot of vegetarian and halal options because of the people it serves in that area. Especially, donating money lets that food bank get things that aren’t strictly necessary, but can make life that much more bearable - pastries, cookies, candy, snack foods, etc. Sure, it’s not healthy and I can hear you all sighing from here, but imagine this is your sole source of food for the month. Having a package of shelf-stable Little Debbies or whatever can seriously make your day just a little more bearable, instead of going “oh boy beans and rice for the 23rd time this month.”
