- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 1 week ago:
How very American to worry about the nightmare you’re enduring.
- Comment on Meta rolled back protections. Now hate is surging. 1 week ago:
Ok, but there had been plenty of criticism before that, specifically how readily the algorithm funnels the user into alt-right echo chambers.
- Comment on Meta rolled back protections. Now hate is surging. 1 week ago:
The headline confuses me. Has Facebook ever done something else?
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 2 weeks ago:
Oooh, I didn’t even know it had a sequel!
I wouldn’t say it flirts with the supernatural as much as it’s with one foot into weird fiction, which is where cosmic horror comes from.
- Comment on AGI achieved 🤖 2 weeks ago:
Blindsight is such a great novel. It has not one, not two but three great sci-fi concepts rolled into one.
One is artificial intelligence (the ship’s captain is an AI), the second is alien life so vastly different it appears incomprehensible to human minds. And last but not least, and the most wild, vampires as a evolutionary branch of humanity that died out and has been recreated in the future.
- Comment on Mantis, watch out! 3 weeks ago:
Well, the mother also liquifies her own innards and regurgitates them to feed her young, dying in the process so there’s that.
- Comment on How the US is turning into a mass techno-surveillance state 3 weeks ago:
That’s a capitalism weakness, not a human weakness though.
- Comment on Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift? 3 weeks ago:
Or a serial killer.
- Comment on Y'all ever think maybe the hype around melding your body and mind with an Asari is all bs and their pussy juices are just hallucinogenic? 3 weeks ago:
I really like idea that they only look sexy to us the player because we’re human and that they look Turian to a Turian, Salarian to Salarians and so on because they emit something (pheromones or empathy waves) that alters the perception of other races.

They are real bussies for not leaning into it.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 5 weeks ago:
Also, Tomb Raider. One of the most well known videogame characters is literally an ass-kicking woman.
- Comment on 1955 was as old in 1990 as 1990 is in 2025. 5 weeks ago:
In 2060, people will curse the people of 2020 who did almost nothing to mitigate climate change.
- Comment on The chocolate cake featured in the 1996 film *Matilda* is the canonical chocolate cake for all 90's kids. 5 weeks ago:
More of a general thing, but spinach was popularized as healthy food by Popeye.
- Comment on Company Regrets Replacing All Those Pesky Human Workers With AI, Just Wants Its Humans Back 1 month ago:
LLMs can do a lot of cool stuff that humans can’t but also can’t do a lot of stuff very well that humans can do a lot better.
- Comment on EA employees "upset and confused" at return to office mandate 1 month ago:
As always, it’s just a sneaky way to get people to quit.
All the data and studies on the topic point to the fact that working from home had a positive economic impact. It leads to happier, more motivated workers, which increases productivity.
- Comment on Being single 1 month ago:
Oh yeah, totally. Forgot about that possibility. My bad.
- Comment on Being single 1 month ago:
Yep, a good relationship should just be your favourite person to spend time with that you also find sexually attractive (and vice versa).

Am I out of touch? No, it’s the voters who arw wrong!

Does Scully make an appearance as well?
- Comment on Liquid Trees 1 month ago:
These algae also produce biogas that can be used for heating or producing electricity.
- Comment on Oblivion Remastered Impressions (and Discussion Thread) 2 months ago:
Agreed, I’m also surprised how much more alive the NPCs feel. They start conversations with each other and have their own lifes. It’s feels much more dynamic than Skyrim’s dumbed down version of the same system.

Written by Zack Snyder.

Well, at least there isn’t a narcissistic tech-billionaire around who doesn’t care about human lives and is closely associated with the government.
- Comment on I used to really like that one 2 months ago:
And Jonah Hill’s ex-girlfriend accused him of emotional abuse.

Kirby: Eat the Rich!
- Comment on Is it a pattern that most of Zendaya's haters are right-wing or is it just a coincidence? 3 months ago:
By all accounts, she is a beautiful, intelligent woman of color who speaks her mind. Of course racists hate her.
- Comment on George Orwell’s 1984 as a ’90s PC game has to be seen to be believed 3 months ago:
Probably better than the 2025 reality version.
- Comment on a strong beak, of course 3 months ago:
Yep, especially the alien species in the second book. Which was basically The Thing, but much more interesting.
- Comment on So glad they are reporting what matters and not some mundane thing. 3 months ago:
It’s probably done by unpaid interns anyway.
