- Comment on Think they talked about this in the group chat? 1 hour ago:
Even if this is true, all it represents is continued demand for the American arms industry. Which frankly could use the work these days.
- Comment on Moar garlic 2 days ago:
I find that garlic flavor is a function of how much it’s cooked, not how much you add.

Say what you want, but that suit is the respect that the White House demands.

- Comment on The window for a convincing UFO video has closed 2 days ago:
They must realize that only confirmation from a trusted authority could be real confirmation.
This is a neat observation because it’s ironic on it’s face. UFO people actively work to discredit institutions and authority. But you’re right, they are desperate for confirmation from the Pentagon, the Vatican, even something on official DMV letterhead would be a blockbuster event in UFO/conspiracy spaces.

You should put a trigger warning on this. Toilets are my Vietnam.
- Comment on Glue used to be rare and magical. 3 days ago:
Of all the technological change I’ve lived to see, glue and tape have improved the most.
- Comment on Unpopular popular opinion - fiat 5 days ago:
Yes, Currency is constructed. Just like laws, sovereignty, borders, human rights, customs, norms, culture, institutions, and government.
Currency isn’t the opposite of bartering, it’s advanced bartering.
- Comment on Google is shutting down Assistant on Fitbit smartwatches 1 week ago:
So they’re taking a shitty tech trend away from the few people who found it useful in order to push the new shitty tech trend.
- Comment on Hot take: Get your game reviews from gamers, not from collectors 1 week ago:
Had a buddy with an impressive vinyl collection and an audiophile setup. Awful taste in music, just dogshit.
- Comment on Maybe it's just a human thing. 2 weeks ago:
No, it’s saying Nye is a good person. He’s an atheist and not an asshole.
But you do touch on something because it would be a challenge to find someone known for being atheist while also being a decent human being. IDK, maybe Daniel Dennitt?
- Comment on At this point I think I would 2 weeks ago:
For safety, never plug an unknown USB drive into your house.
- Comment on Jesus was too late for this guy 2 weeks ago:
Jesus drove a Honda, though he was shy about it. In John it says that “Jesus never spoke of his own accord.”
- Comment on Jesus was too late for this guy 2 weeks ago:
For those who don’t know, that type of tow truck is called a ‘snatch’ truck because the tow arm can get under a vehicle without the driver leaving the cab. Snatch trucks are not for breakdowns, they’re for repos.
- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 2 weeks ago:
after contact, the company acknowledged the problem and removed the accounts
Meta is outsourcing content moderation to journalists.
- Comment on Amazon is testing a Buy for Me button powered by agentic AI that will let users purchase products from third-party websites without leaving Amazon's app. 2 weeks ago:
Since this service is free, I expect Az is taxing the retailers somehow. Perhaps it’s something like the Honey scam.
I’ll bet you can’t pay with an Az giftcard or credit balance.

- Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? 2 weeks ago:
Some of the stuff in the freezer section is pretty high quality. I recently got a shrimp entree on sale that could easily pass for restaurant quality.
Also, don’t sleep on frozen vegetables. The quality is second only to fresh and you can also get “restaurant” versions covered in cheese, butter, and even roasted.
- Comment on Embrace this Truth and enjoy life 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think that subjective means arbitrary. A book may mean different things to different people, but that doesn’t mean that one interpretation is as good as any other. Or that reason is abandoned in the process of forming a subjective idea.
- Comment on Bringing Achievements To The Nintendo Entertainment System 3 weeks ago:
Achievements have made games worse.
I discovered this after buying a steam game that I had pirated. All of a sudden I’m doing boring and repetitive stuff that I don’t enjoy, just to unlock some dumb trophy.
Any enjoyment for the players and creativity by developers has been long eclipsed by the lazy paint-by-numbers boring achievements who’s only function is to artificially extend “engagement”.
They should just sell the platinum trophies.
- Comment on Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio 3 weeks ago:
It’s so gratifying to hear from people on the internet who are older than I am. And this article reads like it came from a Listserv to a yahoo email address.

- Comment on Fascinating and efficient new lamp design 3 weeks ago:
In America, they often cut the lampshade off right after manufacture.
Not even for religious reasons, just some 19th Century health nuts like RFK jr convinced everyone that it was good for your health.
- Comment on Husband needs proof news is censored 3 weeks ago:
E.S. Herman and Noam Chomsky’s book Manufacturing Consent is a great place to start. You can skip most of the book honestly, (it’s out of date), but the “5 Filters” part is like a decoder ring for American Legacy Media.
- Comment on Dr Strange saw 4 billion possible futures and none of them had Thor lopping off Thanos' head on his first shot 3 weeks ago:
Dr Strangelove saw one possible future and it had 10 women to each man.
- Comment on How can I decide on who and how to love? 3 weeks ago:
I think I loved about a dozen women relatively recently tho I haven’t even kissed them
Romantic love is always both ways. Crushes are normal and healthy, but no matter how strongly you feel, it ain’t nothing like when they wanna kiss you back.
When I was young I had anxiety about getting betrayed or abandoned. Well, all that came to pass, but what I didn’t know then was that I am perfectly capable of hurting people who care about me. These days, I regret the harm I did way more than what I suffered.
