The right potato will work just fine.
- Comment on "A guitarist who's also an astronaut" sounds more impressive than "An astronaut who plays the guitar", despite both meaning the same thing. 2 days ago:
Yeah, but also 2 would never be true. Nobody is a primary guitarist and hobbyist astronaut. Astronaut is always someone’s primary, and the rest is an afterthought. At least “real” astronauts, not space tourists.
- Comment on Wyoming to host massive AI data center using more electricity than all Wyoming homes combined 3 days ago:
I dunno, I’m from New Jersey. I can tell you about New Jersey though. Our two main providers of electric and gas utilities are PSEG and JCPL. Putting aside that they’re both major corporations and those suck, JCPL also sucks at providing the service it basically forces you to get (because there’s obviously no real alternatives), and PSEG is pretty good. I have not had a legitimate (>2 hours) power outage since I bought my home 11+ years ago. Regardless of my good fortune, we experience struggles in presumably the same fashion as much of the country: the hots are hotter and shit is expensive AF.
I’m sorry none of this is relevant.

But it’s not the AI farm’s fault, because they get paid to turn off during times the grid is under a lot of stress. So they make money 100% of the time, don’t worry!

AMEX killing it again. Just sucks they got beef with Costco, who also kill it. I don’t want to be asked to take sides.

And I think social media revolved heavily around people sharing the mundanity of their everyday life with the world, and in my experience, that was very rarely the point of message boards or forums.

“If you can comment on it, it’s social media.”
I can comment on how stupid that is, but that doesn’t make it social media. The term was invented to describe the likes of Facebook, and it’s predecessors and … Postdecessors. Antecedents? No that’s the same. Successors. There we go. Had to work that out.

The complete lack of attention span is staggering. Half a video of slime, other half some girl doing makeup or pretending to be multiple characters in some nonsense scenario.

Five Second Films used to make some great shorts back in the day. I think there is a niche for them, but then everyone’s like, oh, I can be funny for five seconds, and like everything, it becomes oversaturated with shit.

- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 6 days ago:
So I don’t know how true it is (or isn’t). This wiki article gives a list of “all newsworthy” incidents since 2023. Got two (now three) this year. Five last year. Ten in 2023. But newsworthy is the key word. We have an incident like we did in DC, and in the immediate wake of it there were news reports just about anytime someone sneezed on an airplane (hyperbole).
I’ll tell you, my eye test and feelings agree with you, but I just don’t know how true it is. And it’s hard to avoid getting political, but there is a vested interest in certain news circles to paint a bleak picture (don’t take this wrong, I’m in favor of funding government agencies).
So yeah, fuck it, you know?
- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 6 days ago:
As with all statistics, you can make the numbers say what we you want. Planes can carry 500+ people, so an incident risks all 500 of those passengers; similar for rail, but not so much for the bus. And I think about bus and there’s two different kinds of buses, IMO, the inner city bus that’s on the road for hours, but doing few miles while making frequent stops. Not sure what a journey is then, whether it’s stop by stop or from start to finish. And there’s
So yeah, I dunno. If it’s your time it’s your time. I don’t think any of these means of travel are “unsafe,” whatever that means. But I’ll still have a couple of beers before I get on the plane, because I’m not afraid of flying, but having a couple beers beforehand makes it better.

It’s cool, this was their incident, so clock reset. Can’t happen twice in so short a span, no way!

Your response here is an excellent example of shitposting. You are the new moderator. Keep up the shitty work.
- Comment on "Pilot had to dive aggressively to avoid midair collision over Burbank airport." 6 days ago:
Yeah, shitpost needs some better moderation. Shitpost has literally just become post whatever you want. And if that’s what it is, I guess that’s what it is, but the term “shitpost” to me had always been someone coming and derailing serious threads with nonsense opinions, unrelated pics, etc. So silly trolling.
This post is a picture of a tweet about a near mid-air collision. Unless the second plane was just fucking around, shitflying as they say, I don’t know that it qualifies for the low, low bar that is shitposting.

Back in my short-lived restaurant days, we would just take shots from wherever with a cube or two here and there, and they’d always sizzle up good. I’ll be honest, after watching the video someone else posted here, I expected it to be a little more violent.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 6 days ago:
None of the arguments for sharing location relate to cheating. If you are worried your partner is cheating, nothing will assuage your concerns, that is a you and them problem. I don’t think for one second my wife would cheat on me, and not because I’m the greatest thing since sliced bread or anything, she’s just a good, honest person, and when we have things come up in our relationship she talks to me.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 6 days ago:
If I’m doing it multiple times a day every day, why not just keep it on. Do you only leave the house once? I know that for some people that is the case, wake up, go to work, come home, all on a nice schedule. That is not the case in our house, not even close, and so it’s nice to be able to streamline the process of getting our shit together every day.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 6 days ago:
Yeah, my wife has mine and I know she doesn’t use it as often as she could, because I’ll get the text, and I’ll be like hey, just check the location. Both or jobs take us different places every day (that we aren’t home), and so neither of us have a schedule, and so rather than the same texts every day, “When you home,” when we’re trying to figure out the kids, or dinner, or camps, or I have to go to work at night, or she has a book club meeting, or whatever other myriad things happen every day, we can skip that step. Or we have the ability to, and my wife forgets about it.

Made worse, like they had the info before but now they really have it? They always have it, that’s it. If you’re concerned about privacy drop the phone, otherwise it’s a bullshit argument.

I really think you nailed it and that folks here are either kids or never grew out of the high school mentality. It seems like they conflate trust issues with openness, and that you would only share with your spouse because your spouse doesn’t trust you.
My wife has my location. My wife has had my location when I’ve gone to bachelor parties and done bachelor party activities. I doubt she looked at it. When I came home, I told her about things we did because we take an interest in one another’s lives.
It really all comes down to efficiency. She’s an hour from home and I need to start cooking dinner soon? I’ll go grab the kids now and come home and get going. It just helps plan days and nights.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 6 days ago:
I hope you wouldn’t invade her privacy, but I have no problem popping into my wife’s Gmail (I’ll ask her first), because some camp or school only sent something to her related to our kids that needs to be addressed. And there could be ten emails there from dudes names I don’t know and I wouldn’t care because I trust my wife implicitly. I would let her do exactly the same, I don’t keep my shit on lockdown because I’m worried she’ll see my Google search history.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 6 days ago:
These same people who are suggesting you live in fear of your partner dying are also afraid their partner might find their porn collection. It’s staggering. To describe location or password sharing as “vile” just puts into perspective the kind of people you’re talking to.
I knowy wife’s phone password, must have trust issues. Or we go on car rides and her phone is connected and the kids want me to put a song on. Should we pull over so she can unlock her phone? Vile.
Too many folks think it’s to keep tabs on people, because that’s presumably how they’d use it, they’d sit there and watch it.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 6 days ago:
I’m 37 and share my location with my wife. We have kids. It is an efficiency thing that we use to help decide when to begin dinner, who’s grabbing the kids, etc. The whole idea of trust issues is just very high school to me.
I have my mom’s location. She lives alone. She works in the city. Sometimes I like to just be sure she got home but don’t need to bother her about it, or I’m at work late and can’t be making phone calls.
Folks with privacy concerns, I guess I accept that. But if you think the only thing stopping the government from snatching you is your location services being off, you’re sorely mistaken.
- Comment on Everybody gets one [choose wisely] 1 week ago:
I chased this for a while. One was never enough, two too many. Got gifted pillows by my wife a couple times, nothing ever worked. Finally found one, and it’s been huge. We also put a pad on top of our mattress, and don’t know if it’s the combination of that plus the pillow, but for the last few years I’ve used just this one pillow, and it’s been great. I take it with me when we go somewhere for a night.

Are you guys not on the same side of the argument? Not about the buttholes and their expulsions, but about where forums/message boards rank versus Facebook.
If, like all things, it’s a gradient, I’d plop these message boards far left of the likes of Myspace, and xanga, etc.
- Comment on I just shitpost🙃 1 week ago:
Yeah, I came from ebaumsworld forums to Reddit, and Reddit to here, and they all scratch the same itch, which is basically me engaging in meaningless (not always) conversation with people, sometimes seriously, sometimes jokingly. All that’s changed is how it looks and how people talk.
