Gary? hahaha Gary! Gaaaaary
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
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. :(
- Comment on Internet email for dummies 1 week ago:
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? 1 week 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.
- Comment on 2 weeks ago:
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 "I’m Canceling My Subscription": Xbox Players Call to "Boycott" Game Pass "Hard" Over 50% Price Increase As Microsoft’s Website Crashes from Mass Cancellations 3 weeks ago:
This is the endgame of all subscriptions. I have not one. Purchase where they will let you purchase without DRM, for the rest: 🏴☠️
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 4 weeks 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?
- Comment on IF YOU TAKE ENOUGH YOU CAN SEE *THE PATTERN* BRO 1 month ago:
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 1 month 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.

You laugh, but it’s worse than you might think.
- Comment on No Man's Sky: Voyagers update releases today, introduces customizable "colossal, fully furnished, completely bespoke Corvette-class starships" 1 month ago:
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.
- Comment on anons brother has some strong opinions 2 months ago:
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 What’s even the appeal of Linux? 2 months ago:
An Emacs clone.
- 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.

It is Schroedinger’s Stochastic Parrot. Simultaneously a Chinese Room and the reincarnation of Hitler.

People who still use Facebook: “don’t judge me how else would I keep in touch with meemaw and peepaw I only use it a teensy little bit 😭😭😭”

These days? Shit, you can’t swing a dead cat without hitting a new Star Trek property. I thought he had a chance tbh.
- Comment on Microsoft CFO calls for 'intensity' in an internal memo, after blowout earnings 2 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 2 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.

Maybe you belong on reddit? ¯_(ツ)_/¯
- Comment on Hertz' AI System That Scans for "Damage" on Rental Cars Is Turning Into an Epic Disaster 2 months ago:
And I will take this opportunity to mention that Hertz, Dollar and Thrifty are all the same company and they will each of them take every opportunity possible to fuck you.
- Comment on What is piefed? 2 months ago:
Comments with -10 score are collapsed by default. Voting is private.
I don’t particularly care for these two items. I used to think user-curation was a good thing, but comparing Lemmy to Reddit, I have to say I no longer feel that way. Voting matters less on Lemmy and I think it’s better for it, all things considered.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 3 months ago:
Because it’s about to affect big money so they sic their bots on it to shape public opinion and stomp it, like everything else.
- Comment on LibreOffice calls out Microsoft for using "complex" file formats to lock in Office users 3 months ago:
And now Microsoft is supported in every thread by an army of stan bots.

And here I am, I don’t really like pop and I don’t really like metal but put them together and I’m in heaven.

Showerthought: mf is mezzo-forte. ff shouldn’t be fortissimo, it should be fezzo-forte.

I came here to post a screed a bit like this, but you did it so eloquently I don’t have to, so thanks! A perfect take, imo.
- Comment on Can't fool me 3 months ago:
Interesting to note that this granite is actually called Galaxy Black with the name dating back to its first commercial discovery and quarrying in India long about 1982-1985, and yet the Hubble Deep Field image was taken in 1995.
