Lot of things congress supposed to be involved in they they don’t seem to care about recently
- Comment on X and TikTok algorithms favour the far right at the expense of moderate parties 1 week ago:
And any resistance to those policies is met with more rage from the right, its a self propelling cycle.
- Comment on Valve Sued By The Performing Rights Society Over Music Rights in Games Valve Doesn’t Make or Own 1 week ago:
Theres also the factor of suing steam is like getting to sue all the ofenders at once without actually putting in the work to sue each individual studio that used the music.

Possible false flag attack to persuade Europe to support more war against Iran.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 weeks ago:
I think part of why the cameras don’t have such scrutiny is the city often has signs stating they use the cameras and will list their locations. This gives a somewhat implied consent from the driver, idk if it holds up in court but its similar to a sign at a store saying you’re on CCTV. The sign doesn’t say the CCTV could be used to track and monitor you but its implied.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 weeks ago:
The system required to make them hard wired would be immensely over complicated to allow the wheels to still turn. Where ever the wire exits would also have been additional point for leaks to occur.
- Comment on Your car’s tire sensors could be used to track you 2 weeks ago:
However, the researchers found that these tire sensors also send a unique ID number in clear, unencrypted wireless signals, meaning that anyone nearby with a simple radio receiver can capture the signal, and recognize the same car again later
Its not quite the same ball game. Sure its not great that the government can track easily with ALPRs, but this type of tracking if available to nearly anyone and could be used for significant crimes like stalking or human trafficking. It can also be done without a sightline of the car, unlike a camera system.
- Comment on Pissing in the shower is better in every way than pissing in the toilet. 2 weeks ago:
I sometimes piss in a jug in the back of the work van. When its cold out it gets pretty steamy and stinky.

My issue is my poop is often not in a throwable state
- Comment on Pissing in the shower is better in every way than pissing in the toilet. 2 weeks ago:
Some foods/drugs can make it stink no matter what. For example i can always tell when I’ve had caffeine as it has a distinct smell in my urine.

Truly powerful men would have strong armed the government into paying it for them. Smdh its like modern men aren’t even trying to be CEO.

New cars gonna come with used zyns trays and air pod chargers instead of ashtrays and cigarette lighters.
- Comment on Trump touts bill that could make voting harder for married women 4 weeks ago:
Any woman that supports this is a disgrace to the women that suffered and fought before them to gain that right. If you want to vote the same as your husband or just not vote you don’t need a law enforcing that.
- Comment on PROTIP 5 weeks ago:
It does depend on the district and general vibe of the school. A big city school may have a different reaction than a rural one. Mine had a mix of city kids and country kids as the school was on the edge of the city. Our school also offered an outdoor education program that included things like fire starting and canoe tripping so students enrolled in that would have a valid excuse to have a knife on them. The student’s history of getting into trouble and reaction to getting caught is also a likely factor.
- Comment on PROTIP 5 weeks ago:
The closest i came to getting caught is in biology i etched some notches into a toothpick to work an experiment easier. Another student asked how i altered the toothpick, i offered him my knife and he said something along the lines of “just notch mine and i won’t tell anyone what I saw”.
- Comment on PROTIP 5 weeks ago:
Yes these days it may have been different. We barely had camera coverage. For one of my birthdays a friend gifted me an 8" hunting knife in the stairwell at school. I thanked him but did ask to maybe at least wait til the end of the day or a weekend next time cause that knife is harder to justify carrying than a folding blade.
- Comment on PROTIP 5 weeks ago:
I carried a pocket knife almost everyday in high school and never once had a problem. If you aren’t waving it around, threatening people, or overall being an idiot most people never even notice.

In my experience men are much more clear when they like someone than women are. Men are less likely to make it a “game”. Men are more likely too push it even when rejected I won’t deny that, but women have done the same as well.
My buddy recently got a new gf. He offered to go outside and start her car and clear the snow off of it. She no please don’t do that you aren’t even dressed yet. So he didn’t do it then she came home and expressed she was upset he didn’t try harder to do it anyway. They took that as a lesson and he pushes a little more on stuff like that but he also asked her to not say no directly like that and make it easier for him to insist.

I really hoped any mention of clean coal aside from a right wing politician would imply sarcasm

He wouldn’t have canceled them if they would just let him develop clean coal

- Comment on It Turns Out That When Waymos Are Stumped, They Get Intervention From Workers in the Philippines 5 weeks ago:
I doubt you could legally remotely operate your car on the streets. If an accident happens, do they blame the human driver or the tech in the car? Depending on how often the humans are intervening, you could make an argument that it eliminated local taxi jobs and outsourced them somewhere with cheaper labor.
- Comment on 2 North American 4 you has been created 5 weeks ago:
Same with the argument of “we need to deport them to preserve our culture”. America has always been mix up of cultures and has a vastly different culture from state to state and city to city. New york wouldn’t have been the world renowned city it is if it didn’t have its diversity.
