- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 5 hours ago:
Ah, my favorite kind of poster.
One who posts a self-congratulatory “question” to a group who obviously isn’t going to read it and then never replies to any of the comments.
- Comment on What car stickers say about you 8 hours ago:
Nobody’s breaking in because they know the smell will be overpowering
- Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery 12 hours ago:
I was gonna make a joke about that in my original comment but I checked and was surprised to find that like 30k have been sold in the US
- Comment on Facebook Cybertruck Owners Group Copes With Relentless Mockery 1 day ago:
These protestors in front of Tesla Service Centers need to see what a majority looks like…A couple hundred CTs surrounding them might do it.”
This guy thinks the majority means “whoever shows up with weapons”
- Comment on That's different 3 days ago:
Didn’t recognize him without the crocodile tears
- Comment on This tiny piece of shit! 5 days ago:
Yes I do. But the last thing I was expecting when I clicked a post on c/conservative was an artistic rendition of Trump’s acorn stuck in the mud.
What does posting this do except gross people out? Do people actually want to look at this?
- Comment on This tiny piece of shit! 5 days ago:
This is the second disgusting picture you’ve posted to a not-NSFW community today. Can you like…not do that?
Can’t believe I’m closer to blocking c/conservative now than when it was under conservative control
- Comment on In January, billionaires amassed more wealth than the poorest third of humanity owns. 1 week ago:
… They’d just trade in their riches for the new currency. Billionaires aren’t holding their wealth in cash
- Comment on What do you guys think of rss.ponder.cat? 1 week ago:
I do block them but like I said, they feel like the complete opposite of what social media sites like this are…a social site.
It’s all about the comments section and with a bot, there is no OP to talk to.
- Comment on What do you guys think of rss.ponder.cat? 1 week ago:
I think bots that just repost stuff suck the life out of the platform. It’s not organic sharing, you get EVERYTHING posted by the source website.
I’m actually really shocked at how accepted bots are here when it feels so antithetical to what the userbase generally stands for.
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 1 week ago:
I don’t think people use an ellipsis as a pseudo-line break… They use it for pacing. It’s just a pause within the same thought most of the time.
- Comment on Valve adds "all the Team Fortress 2 client and server game code" to its Source mod tools, letting modders "build completely new games based on TF2" and publish them on Steam 1 week ago:
Ugh, greedy Valve making you spend $0 to buy the base game
- Comment on Who will be the next James Bond? Amazon's tough 007 decision 1 week ago:
100% joking. He’s Hollywood’s answer to every role lately.
I like Chris Pratt. He’s a funny guy. But I’m so tired of him, he’s horribly miscast all the time
- Comment on Who will be the next James Bond? Amazon's tough 007 decision 1 week ago:
Chris Pratt, of course.
- Comment on Amazon is changing what is written in books 1 week ago:
You’re thinking like a techy, put yourself in the layman’s shoes.
The Kindle was a pretty big deal as the first widespread e-reader. My tech-challenged mom got one and she loves how easy it is to get a book and have it there.
Given that this change won’t really affect her, she probably doesn’t care. There’s a lot more people like my mom than you or I.
- Comment on France runs fusion reactor for record 22 minutes 2 weeks ago:
It’s almost as if fusion is a significantly more difficult problem to solve than powered flight
- Comment on Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ 2 weeks ago:
Loved the gameplay, though!
- Comment on Two big Final Fantasy remakes are reportedly still in ‘active development’ 2 weeks ago:
I really liked the story and world aesthetic but the bobblehead character design is sooo off-putting to me. Zidane always reminded me a blond Chucky doll
- Comment on Guy Who Ruined Buzzfeed With AI Now Says AI Is Bad, Launches New AI Platform 2 weeks ago:
Buzzfeed News was half decent but it doesn’t make up for how trash the rest of Buzzfeed was at the same time…
12 Ways Buzzfeed Made The Internet Worse
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 2 weeks ago:
There’s no hard evidence that he’s actively pursuing it nor that he’s abandoned it, no.
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 2 weeks ago:
Trying to make sense of his obsession with making an American WeChat is a fool’s errand
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 3 weeks ago:
It’s been his dream since before Paypal. Now he has a leg-up on the competition and his hands in the treasury
- Comment on Hate speech on X surged for at least 8 months after Elon Musk takeover – new research. 3 weeks ago:
I am an unabashed Twitter (not X.com) fan who continued to use it for a bit after he bought it and I feel like non-users don’t fully understand how fast it changed.
It wasn’t a slow shift to the right, it was nearly instant. I saw the first rightwing shit on my apolitical timeline literally days after he bought it. I stopped using it when I started seeing straight up Nazi shit.
As if I needed any more reason to hate them, Elon Musk, and to a lesser extent Donald Trump, ruined my favorite social media website.
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 3 weeks ago:
Agreed but something being unpopular never stopped him before
- Comment on Subscribe now for your life saving warnings! 3 weeks ago:
Yes, right now you can free weather forecasts. But what happens when the institutions that actually provide the data for these other services are taken over by capitalists? What happens if the current administration kills NOAA and NWS for being unprofitable?
If you’ve been paying attention, this isn’t a far-fetched thought.
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 3 weeks ago:
It won’t but he still wants it bad enough to cling to it
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 3 weeks ago:
Altman sucks but that’s a hilarious burn
- Comment on Elon Musk-led group makes $97.4 billion bid for OpenAI, CEO refuses and offers to "buy Twitter for $9.74 billion" 3 weeks ago:
Wrong. He’s definitely deadset on X.com being Da Everything App.
- Comment on BuzzFeed is taking on Instagram, TikTok, X with a new social platform designed to spread ‘joy’ 3 weeks ago:
Buzzfeed was instrumental in making the internet a worse place with their slop content “listicles”
- Comment on Apple Maps now shows the Gulf of America 3 weeks ago:
Sears Tower
Staples Center
6th Avenue
Gulf of Mexico
I don’t give a shit who thinks it should change, I’ll use the original names forever
