- Comment on How to effectively protest outside my House representative's office 4 days ago:
Protesting is a legal right but I’m not sure it really does much anymore. Money is king. People need to realize that using Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, etc is giving these people power.

I would like to blame modern society but since the term “Lone Wolf” exists, I’m guessing it’s older than that.

- Comment on After six years of hardware ray tracing, the best examples of it are modified old games, like Quake and Minecraft. 4 months ago:
I think the tech industry misses the good old days when the upgrade was noticable and exciting. Now it’s just this big media blitz and the upgrades are not that noticeable. Lol, nothin like watching a 30 minute video that they flip back and forth with. “Oh, I can see the difference”

Would a union be able to repeal this lame IT overtime pay expectation? This dumb rule was the $27.63 over ten years ago too. I once worked at a place and a co-worker was told by his staffing agency that they didn’t have to pay overtime.
- Comment on Arch Linux and Valve Collaboration 5 months ago:
Great news! Crazy to think that Valve is hijacking/liberating the Windows gaming library. You would think that Microsoft would be doing more to prevent this.

- Comment on Fallout Show Nominated For 16 Emmy Awards, Including Best Actor For Walton Goggins 7 months ago:
Just watched the 2nd episode and it’s was okay but it the main protagonist goes from desert to forest like 3 times walking. No food, a small thing of water. I’m probably missing something.
