- Comment on Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more 1 day ago:
The truth is the winners have already won, and no one else ever will. They do not intend to make the American Dream obtainable for anyone but Those Approved.
It’s a big club. You aren’t in it. I’m not in it. everyone you or I know isn’t in it. You know when your in it, because you benefit from this. If you will likely lose benefits, like all of us will, you aren’t in the club.
How do you fight those in power uninterested in giving up that power?
You take it from them.
- Comment on Life pro tip: Maybe give her some pointers if it's her first blow job. 2 days ago:
And then there’s me. Who has been with one woman, who was actually appalled by the whole attachment thing, but controlled so much of my life that I became permanently awkward, uncomfortable AND stuck with super low self esteem.
I don’t know if I suck at sex, or just suck in general. If I survive this divorce I’ll take that win right now.
- Comment on How long would it take to create a Pyramid today? 6 days ago:
If anyone wants to understand the pain of fissile uranium production, play factorio. Gives you a little tiny fraction of what it’s like to produce enough fuel for a powerplant. You need a lot more for a bomb.
- Comment on YSK: Using dairy milk after being tear gassed or pepper sprayed doesn't provide more relief and has slightly increased infection risk. Use water or saline instead 1 week ago:
Wait wait wait wait.
How did you end up getting tear gassed in the military? How did you end up getting tased in the military? Why? Who would think that was useful or necessary?
- Comment on First human brain implant malfunctioned, Neuralink says 1 month ago:
My aunt and uncle are Deaf and contentious is pretty accurate.
I get why cochlear implants are shunned, but I don’t get why it’s such a hot button to even consider. We give paraplegics wheelchairs y’know
- Comment on They say your body is the only instrument that doesn't require any lessons 1 month ago:
The only thing I can explain how uncomfortable this is to read is that it’s like trying to imagine scraping your nails on a old timey chalkboard
- Comment on There it is 2 months ago:
Hah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running
- Comment on ByteDance won't sell TikTok, would rather pull it from the US 2 months ago:
It’s pretty weird that they’d admit it.
The smart move would have been to sell it and take the L, and use the new money to build the next thing.
- Comment on Showing appreciation for hard work. 2 months ago:
It’s almost like Nazis were naturally unkind people.
- Comment on Guess I'll die 2 months ago:
Look, I’m just saying I’d enjoy the fireworks, better than dying of radiation sickness
- Comment on Please hold 2 months ago:
From memory it was anything with an exposed heat source or high wattage- Toaster, hot plate, personal space heater, microwave, toaster oven, hair dryer, fondue fountain are what come from my memory. (At our desks mind you)
We had at least 3 microwaves in our floors break room, a few toasters, fridges, etc. Thinking about it, it was less about disturbing others or personal injury and more about fire hazards.
- Comment on Please hold 2 months ago:
My employer had a policy written for this scenario and warned office workers about non- approved appliances in our cubicles. Anything to cook/heat was spelled out, several examples given. But never an electric griddle, which to me should sort of be the first thing that comes to mind
- Comment on YSK there is a condition that makes your armpits smell worse called trichobacteriosis that is common and easy to treat 2 months ago:
How do I unread that last sentence
- Comment on Asking a girl out for comic book store date? 3 months ago:
Ok, so for your confidence:
Had I asked my ex wife on a date when we met, I probably would have lost my virginity that night. Just to give you an idea of how good of an idea it is.
Now, your results may vary, so don’t expect that. But if she likes comics the answer is hes
- Comment on Fuck it 3 months ago:
That will help do things and get through the day, but then imposter syndrome hits like a train and there really isn’t much left in the gorey explosion
- Comment on The later books are really something 3 months ago:
Which is sad, but it’s a good concluding point - Paul is blinded by the Stone Burners, and leaves the crusades to it’s end, and as a fremen follows the fremen tradition of being blind, and leaves into the desert.
But then if he decides nah he wants to answer “what next” would be fantastic too
- Comment on The later books are really something 3 months ago:
Dune gets weird toward the end. Then each book is progressively weirder and simultaneously awesome.
Don’t think we’ll get anything beyond God Emperor though :/
- Comment on The later books are really something 3 months ago:
He can’t even see in front of him
- Comment on Jensen Huang says even free AI chips from his competitors can't beat Nvidia's GPUs 3 months ago:
Free?
I’ll take free GPUs, where can I get some?
- Comment on Microsoft's draconian Windows 11 restrictions will send an estimated 240 million PCs to the landfill when Windows 10 hits end of life in 2025 3 months ago:
So does anyone have a good strategy for transferring non giant things? Like I have a ton of unorganized pictures, documents, videos dating back to my 2009 1TB HDD that still works.
I think I want to run Debian mostly because I don’t know any other build well. Well CentOS, but I want to keep it similar to the Steam Deck as I can
- Comment on As more developers confirm, it looks likely that ALL Adult Swim Games titles will be removed by May 3 months ago:
Because they got theirs.
Look at Boeing. So what if people die in preventable crashes, stock to up
- Comment on AI Prompt Engineering Is Dead 3 months ago:
You know, I had gotten frustrated using it because it wouldn’t understand me, but now I’ll use the approach to find out how it understands me
- Comment on Researchers jailbreak AI chatbots with ASCII art -- ArtPrompt bypasses safety measures to unlock malicious queries 3 months ago:
Not that I know much about it but generating images is pretty easy on any modern GPU. Stable Diffusion has a ton of open source stuff, so long as you have like 6+ GB nVidia you can make a lot of that stuff yourself.
You can do it with AMD cards, but I don’t know how that works differently as I don’t have one.
- Comment on Watching F1 races with the subtitles on is wild 3 months ago:
I had a good double take when I read the title. “What on earth would be in F1 subtitles?”
- Comment on Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter 4 months ago:
That’s what ROTC pretty much does. You need to have relevant education in something the military wants, then they pay for your education, and do some prep work for you to do well in officer candidate school.
- Comment on For those thinking of going back to reddit. Gaze upon this comment section and reconsider. 4 months ago:
Oh God
Were we that cringy?
- Comment on Reddit has reportedly signed over its content to train AI models 4 months ago:
I can only assume they are training some specific model for something appearing more human like.
As useless as that will be considering how fucking wildly different we type
- Comment on Fox show hosts said Taylor Swift "should be conservative" given her background, because to them it's an identity. 4 months ago:
Damn right.
