I wish I didn’t ever need google but unfortunately sucksuckgo has been getting worse and worse.
- Comment on Google begins requiring JavaScript for Google Search 1 week ago:
Seriously, that’s such an absurd statement. It implies that the client-side affects the actual results.
I think their system just makes more money with sponsored gimmicks they might be enhancing.

“Look it up” is not an argument, it’s a suggested course of action. I explained my point and then suggested you look it up in order to see it more elaborated and supported.

It’s all greed. It’s been a while since this was discussed as far as I know, but wasn’t there talk about making Internet service into a utility and be regulated like the power and water companies? There should be a flat fee and that’s it. None of this tiered or capped bullshit. It’s alllllllll pure insatiable greed.

- Comment on Elon Musk Says He Owns Everyone's Twitter Account in Bizarre Alex Jones Court Filing 1 month ago:
You mean rich spoiled man-children who are nothing more than insecure adolescent tweens going through puberty and having sexually frustrated tantrums because girls just laugh at them, and their narcissism is so all-consuming that their only emotion is disdain and goal in all the world is more and more self-gratification and the insatiable pursuit of total control of everything, because they know deep down they will never ever be the recipients of genuine respect or admiration.
Yeah that’s what I thought you said. Slight faux pas.
