- Comment on ‘California sober’: marijuana may help you drink less, study finds 3 days ago:
Very tiny slices of gummies help me greatly with minor aches and pains, I can use it instead of stuff like Aleve. But if I get even 1/4 of a gummy in me it drives me mad. I’m wide awake, my eyes are burning fire, I can’t stop eating and my brain starts doing repetitive loops. It’s incredibly unpleasant to me and I really wish it wasn’t.
- Comment on Is it gay to have pleasurable sex with your wife? 5 days ago:
Yeah, was gonna say - this guy is another one of the “always, in every context, thinking about gay sex” closeted Republicans. Religion does this to them, the systematic and merciless repression of sexuality causes it to become an immense burden.

- Comment on Valve reveal the new Steam Frame, Steam Controller and Steam Machine with SteamOS 6 days ago:
Yeah, if it’s really under 1K, I’m going to get one as immediately as possible. I’m still rocking my OG Vive.
I haven’t seen anywhere, and maybe this is a stupid question, but can you use it with Steam Deck? I’m guessing not, and that’s not a problem, I switched to Linux from Windows recently and this was such great news to hear because I’m losing my Vive with Windows.
But it would be crazy cool if you could.
- Comment on Love’s a two-way dream 6 days ago:
Well. Robin Williams, a (hilarious) American comedian and actor, gained much of his early fame/notoriety on a TV show called Mork and Mindy circa 1978 in which Robin played an alien named Mork.
The show was actually a spinoff of Happy Days, where the “Mork” character first appeared.
“Bjork and Bindi” is clearly a play on words that leverages this.

- Comment on Fox star trashes Trump’s 50-year mortgage plan: ‘I do not like this idea’ 1 week ago:
If 25% of the available buying pool was disappeared, it would create a glut that would probably crash the market. Just like in 2008, people would give their keys back to the bank rather than accept that their formerly $750,000 house was upside down to the tune of several hundred thousand dollars. This is particularly true now because in 2008, so many people did it that the banks couldn’t properly hold it against their credit. They were essentially forced to let them re-buy much sooner than they would have been able to in a normal world (and they were enabled to do so by government bailouts - they’re too big to fail!). So people have been trained that they don’t have to accept their house values crashing, and rightly so tbh. But it means the next crisis would be worse.
We’d go full RoboCop.
We’re going to, because money doesn’t know what to do other than attempt to further itself.

Cyberpunk has a city that actually feels like a real city to me.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
In the age of LLMs, it’s pretty well guaranteed that it’s going to be far worse than described in a study from five years ago. Anecdotally, it feels to me like closer to half if not more of the responses I get are engagement bait. It’s not just corpo, a lot of it is government trolls trying to shape opinion, our government and foreign governments. I don’t post anymore at all - just read - and that only in my very niche communities that aren’t likely to be targeted for this kind of bullshit.

Totally normal, just out of curiosity what was the song?
I had a guy whose name I did know help me out in a bad situation about 30 years ago. But about six months later, I moved across the country and never saw him again. I just recalled him to mind a few weeks ago and… I can’t remember his name.
It felt kind of like a betrayal, I should have remembered, he was a huge help to me when a lot of people hung me out to dry. But such is the imperfection of meat memory. :(

I have a copy of the first edition of “The Internet for Dummies.” It’s worthless, just like the Internet.
- Comment on Does anyone else notice an up tick in hostility on Lemmy lately? 5 weeks ago:
Pretty sure Lemmy got on the influence bot radar some few months ago. Comments are now deeply negative and constantly drumming the 2FA and guillotine remedies to every complaint. Interactions outside of this kind of content I still find Lemmy users to be magnitudes higher quality than Reddit.

The President can do anything he wants if the Supreme Court and Congress won’t do anything about whatever it is he does. That’s the end of this discussion that we keep having over and over again anyway.

- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 1 month ago:
Lauren Southern was touring English-speaking nations in 2018 and working with local far right figures. In this early part of her career, Southern was linked to the ‘alt right’ and accused of ‘tiptoeing at the precipice of outright white nationalism’. A year earlier in 2017, she released a video promoting the ‘great replacement theory‘, which is a white nationalist conspiracy theory.
Am I supposed to feel sorry for this person? I’m asking a serious question: am I being asked to spend empathy on this person who clearly spends none of her own empathy on anyone else?

Don’t forget the sheer, mind-destroying size of the universe, and its age.
I mean, if it’s really a simulation, all of that would be… simulated.
- Comment on Social media platforms including X, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, WhatsApp have been restricted in Turkey 2 months ago:
Ironic that the only way to get a government to put the screws to billionaires and their shit platforms is to threaten the hegemony of the party that used the very same platforms to ratfuck their way to the top.

First I’d heard of Light No Fire, wow yeah, that looks great. Honestly, I think their style lends itself more to fantasy than SciFi, this could be great.

It’s a lovely street made of brick pavers that has been paved over with asphalt because it provides a smoother ride for vehicles and pleasant aesthetics are for losers.

- Comment on makes more sense than this shit 2 months ago:
Yeah but in 2000, I still felt like shit roughly made sense. We entered clown world long about the time the LHC fired its first high energy collisions.
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) was first “fired high energy” when it achieved its first high-energy particle collisions on March 30, 2010. On that date, proton beams collided at a combined energy of 7 TeV, setting a new world record and officially beginning the LHC’s research program.
I remember hearing that that was going to happen and, you know, being mildly concerned. Then it came and went and I forgot about it. But I distinctly remember 2012. A series of truly bizarre things happened in my personal life. I sold a condo I owned at the time and moved away to try and put some distance between myself and what was happening. It was pants-on-head stupid, like I just couldn’t believe what was going on, but it was personal, not earth-shattering, just truly, deeply bizarre.
Shortly thereafter, Trump happened, then covid - and the whole world began being truly, deeply bizarre. Now things have progressed so far that where I used to think I knew a bit about how the world works and where it’s going, I am now utterly adrift. I don’t even try to make sense of it anymore, just to accept it and roll as best I can.
I’m not saying correlation is causation but when I first heard the LHC theory it made me stop and think.

- Comment on Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings 3 months ago:
I mean, I don’t disagree that that’s historically what it’s been. But increasingly, it seems like record profits just keep going through the roof no matter what. And record stock market numbers. And record everything. Nothing goes down, not substantially. Negative news seems to have no (net) effect anymore.
- Comment on Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings 3 months ago:
At what point will we look at these numbers with skepticism? When not one worker is left who can afford their services nor one customer left who wants anything to do with their utterly shit “products” - but they still blow out the quarter with 100 billion? At what point will society recognize that this money can’t possibly represent anything actually real? Will it matter if all of us starve to death and only billionaires are left if the Microsofts of the world will still be able to post 200 billion dollar “profits”?
I’m actually curious. Because I personally think that’s increasingly what all this is. Fake as shit. Some combination of algorithms, cryptocurrency, dark pools and I dunno, the Illuminati I guess.
