My 6 year old has never played or seen a video game.
I take her to the beach, playdates at the park with friends, we go mountain biking, etc. Hearing your stories makes my flesh crawl
- Comment on Extreme sports are weird 4 months ago:
Before we figured out tools and became apex predators we were prey animals… we’re SUPPOSED to be nervous and scared because that’s what kept us alive. Some people have speculated that this is why in aggregate humans are prone to being spiteful, destructive, bored, and shitty
- Comment on Dating apps are as if someone turned the job application experience into a pastime activity 6 months ago:
I logged into OKC after not being on there for years.
What the actual fuck? It doesn’t even make sense now
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 6 months ago:
By choice, dingus.
I don’t have that option. Big Ole difference. Maybe give everyone Lyme disease so they develop red meat allergies and we can talk
Okay. You want me to double down? I won’t eat at vegan places most of the time. Here’s the thing: vegetables are delicious. So why?
Vegans will support a vegan place no matter what and will talk it up as being amazing even if it sucks. I’ve been burned being told, “oh. That place is so good” and it’s just a matter of vegans circling the wagons and propping up a place that serves a lazy impossible burger with fake plastic cheese on it. Y’all ain’t accountable and it makes it difficult taking vegan food seriously. No wonder y’all’s food has an inferiority complex

I and others are over here with soy, egg and gluten allergies that restrict pretty heavily what I can eat. But go off since you have it all figured out, king.

Yes, then they become toddlers and anything besides pizza or chicken nuggets is you trying to poison them

Babies can eat knives if they’re brave enough

“What could a banana possibly cost Michael? $10?”
- Comment on Tesla’s in its flop era 6 months ago:
It’s really not that difficult to not buy from Walmart and Amazon. I’m not saying any retailer is ideologically pure and chill across the board but mom and pop shops sell 95% of what they do and the money stays in your community
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
JIS is more common on Japanese machines, ie Japanese cars and motorcycles. When I was a bike mechanic you used JIS for Shimano derailleur adjustment screws. Even tho a Phillips “fit” it would destroy the screw.
I actually can’t tell them apart from sight truth be told, but I’m also not wrenching anymore (not to mention the cycling industry largely moved on to hex and torx)
- Comment on acceptable screws 7 months ago:
No mention of JIS which is yet another “fuck Phillips” argument

The Dulles Brothers were pieces of shit too… plus you’d end up in Dallas if you flew there no matter what it’s called.

I travel through Boring Oregon (just outside of Portland) who’s sister city is Dull, so I guess that’s me
- Comment on The later books are really something 8 months ago:
These… weren’t Brian’s books
- Comment on The later books are really something 8 months ago:
Messiah is good Children is decent but spotty God Emperor is essentially a fever dream. I was like WTF while reading it but I love how off the rails it went.
The last couple are kind of forgettable.
The immediate prequels (house books) are a fun read and plotted well, but his kid isn’t as good of a writer
The legends books are garbage
The last 2 books that tie up the original series (hunters and sandworms) are not good and are infuriating in that elements from the legends books are reintroduced as deus ex machina bullshit. I saw the twist coming halfway through the last book.
I never read any of the other gap filler books that have been written in that universe. It got tiresome
Everything up until God Emperor is worthwhile with the prequels being a fun appetizer. Read the synopses of the others if you need to know what happens

If you have principles, yes.
Sorry that activism is inconvenient sometimes

- Comment on TikTok Is Destroying Itself From the Inside Out 9 months ago:
Instagram is absolute garbage compared to how it used to be. It’s still massive. Once people are hooked, it’s hard to wean them off. People were livid at reddit, but only a fraction of those who spoke up are here

Illini? As in what the University of Illinois sports teams are called

How shitty a parent are you to either not know how to work parental controls or better… to talk to your kids about healthy attitudes towards sex?*
*besides abstinence

I got my “early” invite code a couple weeks ago and it was pretty cool finding accounts I’d previously followed on Twitter… and seeing how they haven’t posted in months

Hook one of these up to a Sybian and let the machines fuck one another. Metaphors abound

- Comment on You're Supposed To Be Glad Your Tesla Is A Brittle Heap Of Junk 10 months ago:
I mean, probably because musk has been so insufferable and publicly injects himself into the DNA of his brands. Musk and Tesla are deeply intertwined.
I think walmart and Google overall are worse than Tesla, but Sam Walton and the Google CEO I’d have to… ahem, Google, don’t slather their ids all over every aspect of those companies. That had the sense to keep their mouths shut and not hog the spotlight
