- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
There exists a massive, global network of websites that are all easily searchable through various means.
I look up and view similar topics to you and never use YouTube for them.
Try searching the internet as a whole!

Unfortunate that the chosen url is a .zip url.
.zip is ripe for malicious actors. I block access to all .zip TLDs on my home network.
- Comment on Reddit sues Anthropic, alleging its bots accessed Reddit more than 100,000 times since last July 2 weeks ago:
Basically nowhere on the internet does delete mean delete. Nearly everywhere it means archive or hide.
- Comment on There's a noticable influx of trans kids in my job. Are there any topics I should avoid or considerations I should take into account when training them? 3 weeks ago:
As expected, a complete lack of empathy
You’re right. If that dude works with you, I’d also suggest them to brush up their resume.

Those are not the only words you utter at work. Don’t be ridiculous.
You are completely and entirely missing the point of this post.
When new people from different cultures or backgrounds assimilate into a new work place, being culturally sensitive is expected and the standard.

Someone that lacks empathy?

This is the way.
On reddit, I use RES to hide user names.
- Comment on YouTube's new ad strategy is bound to upset users: YouTube Peak Points utilise Gemini to identify moments where users will be most engaged, so advertisers can place ads at the point. 5 weeks ago:
Wow. Fuuuuuuuuck YouTube.
Also, Firefox plus Ublock Origin makes ads on YouTube go away.

No, but thank you!
- Comment on Why I don't use AI in 2025 1 month ago:
Absolutely agreed all around.
For me, in my job, AI has been a fantastic tool. It feels like I was using a plain screw driver and now I have a cordless, light power drill. It really is doing “grunt” work for me so I can focus on the more complex tasks.
- Comment on Why I don't use AI in 2025 1 month ago:
AI is the evolution of tools. Like any other modern tool, either learn it and use it or be left behind.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 1 month ago:
At that time, my view of the feature will change to unacceptable. Until then, it is acceptable.
- Comment on Microsoft rolls Windows Recall out to the public nearly a year after announcing it 1 month ago:
Good! In my opinion this entirely changes the feature to acceptable.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
If you ask 10 questions and I know the answer to two of them, I’m going to answer the two and respond expecting someone else to answer the other questions.
If they are all directed at me and I’m the only person in the TO, then I’ll answer what I can. The times I don’t answer is because I either don’t have an answer or don’t want to answer it right now.
Instead of immediately blaming the other person, reflect upon your words. If someone sent you the same message with different but similar questions, how would you respond? Were the questions clear and concise with reasonable answers or do they need discussion? If yes/no is asked, is the question really a yes or no question?
Remember, as busy as you are, the other person may be busier or dealing with emergencies and they are at least attempting to respond rather than just no response at all.

Do not take mental health advice from social media.
- Comment on Maybe time travelers actually exist and this mess of a timeline is the result of their interference... 2 months ago:
Yep. I keep thinking all the mysterious drones being spotted are time travelers coming back to watch the fall of the American empire.
- Comment on Projected DOGE savings now near $110 billion, or over $700 per American taxpayer. 4 months ago:
Does anyone actually believe these numbers?
Musk has told lie after lie to the public and now he isn’t even “leading” DOGE.
These grifters are not doing what they say they are doing. They won’t let anyone audit their actions.
You’d have to be 5 years old or have less than half a brain to believe anything coming from these kids.
- Comment on Why was there a pro-Hitler, Holocaust-denying ad on X? 4 months ago:
How does this article not include a picture of the ad?
- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone's Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court Filing 6 months ago:
He does. Same with any other platform you do not “own” your account. You have credentials to login to an account you created.
This should not be news to anyone. This applies to all social media, all entertainment, and every other account you use online.
- Comment on Google reacts angrily to report it will have to sell Chrome 7 months ago:
Good. I want them to be angry about having to break up search and ads so they have to compete like everyone else again.

- Comment on New data reveals thousands of Australians who own 10 rentals or more 8 months ago:
Yes. Many. Here’s the first: mobility.
In my 20s, I didn’t live in the same city for more than a couple years at a time. If I had not been able to rent, I’d have wasted tons of money.
- Comment on "Would U.S. tech workers join a union?" survey average: 67% likely 8 months ago:
While I agree it is absurd, it absolutely happens. See the Las Vegas convention workers union. I was told that one worker could not plug-in an extension cord that had been previously plugged in because it wasn’t his job. There were numerous other instances exactly like that, while working a convention center floor.
It does happen.
