If there was any connection between an author’s work and their actual life, I’m grateful that Cormac MccArthy has been stopped.

- Comment on Tor Project received $2.5M from the US government to bolster privacy 2 days ago:
The TOR project in it’s entirety was created by the CIA for secure communications. It’s public because no matter how secure, if only spies use TOR, then it would be easy to catch them.
I don’t mean to imply that TOR is insecure, it’s open source and the Government has an interest that it be secure. But if you’re going to annoy the US government, you better have good opsec because they understand TOR better than anyone.
- Comment on How did far-west era US dealt with "Male loneliness" 2 days ago:
Everybody understands that men have issues. The problem is that the people promoting this use it as a stalking horse to oppose feminism.
Because that’s what they believe. The male loneliness epidemic, to them is explained by female autonomy and civil rights. Most of them won’t come right out and say this, so they bitch about suicide rates and the draft instead.
- Comment on Almost 30 years later, Fallout 1's depth of choice, chance, and consequence is still an RPG gold standard 3 days ago:
For anyone looking for the classic Fallout experience, the Wasteland series is better than anything you’ll get from Bethesda.
- Comment on The Stock Market is Just Financial Fantasy Sports 3 days ago:
Ever since stock buybacks became the bog standard default, and P/E ratios are between ‘significantly elevated’ and ‘completely fucking delusional’…
At what point do we start to consider that capitalist economies aren’t broken, but that they never worked in the first place?
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 3 days ago:
Alex Karp’s behavior is much better explained by cocaine. He may be neurodivergent, but he was still high as Giraffe pussy.

This is like when your a kid and run into a teacher at the grocery.

The constituent parts of gunpowder are sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate.
- Comment on Typeframe 5 days ago:
That keyboard looks really nice, but the placement of the R CTRL would cause me fits.
- Comment on In the US one can graduate *cum laude, magna cum laude, and summa cum laude*. There should be another honor added if you survive a school shooting. 5 days ago:
I think graduation ceremonies should include a speech from the lowest ranked graduate. Let’s hear from both sides.
- Comment on happy fuck cops day to those who celebrate 6 days ago:
My favorite cop jokes:
-
how many good cops does it take to change a lightbulb? I’ll let you know when good cops change anything.
-
The cops are like a box of chocolates. They’ll kill your fucking dog.
-
Cops be like: You can’t call me a racist! Look, my wife’s eye is black.

- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 week ago:
AI doesn’t exist. This is like asking an atheist why they hate god.
If you’re talking about LLMs and the like, they’re unpopular on Lemmy because tech people are over represented here and tech people understand how these technologies work and why all the hype isn’t just false, but malicious.
- Comment on The ability to be massively efficient with todays computers would have probably made you $250k/yr 25-30 years ago. 1 week ago:
You know how you right click something and can choose “save” or “copy”? That used to be two hole jobs.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom!
Do you really believe that markets and competition creates better products and services? How do you square that with basic observations about how the world is? If success was linked to quality, then Subway would be the worlds best food; Clash of Clans the best video game; and Tesla the best car.
The markets of the world say that Nvidia is worth more than the Pharmaceutical Industry.

Isn’t this the reason Epstein and Trump broke up?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
If we don’t make sacrifices to the Dragon, it’ll eat the village!
That’s what you sound like. AI doesn’t exist, but it’s going to take your job anyway. And it doesn’t matter if you support it or not. Your devotion and support will not be rewarded.
- Comment on A Developer Accidentally Found CSAM in AI Data. Google Banned Him For It 1 week ago:
LOL, You mean the letters C and P can stand for lots of stuff. At first I thought you meant the term “child porn” was ambiguous.
- Comment on Language 1 week ago:
This is a lie. America produces ~15B gallons of Alcohol from our precious corn every year. We just put it in our cars, that’s all.

- Comment on Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch 2 weeks ago:
Do digital store fronts play-through all the games, expansions, and DLC they list on their stores? This doesn’t seem practical.
- Comment on The possible regret of having gotten a divorce 2 weeks ago:
Anybody who laughs at this joke has a Yahoo email address.
- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, I’m programed to respond to dumb comments to increase engagement.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok Says It Would Kill Every Jewish Person on the Planet to Save Him 2 weeks ago:
Slavish devotion to Musk? Utilitarian ethics? Grock is just the average reddit user in 2013.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You’re talking about several different technologies when you say “fireworks”. You need a powder that’s safe to handle, a barrel that’s strong enough to contain the explosion, an ignition system, and a projectile that does some kind of damage.
- Comment on Is there an actual picture of Mohamed or painting that we can view? Without pissing off all of Islam? 2 weeks ago:
There is a fresco in the SCOTUS courtroom with a theme of “lawbringers” of history. Mohamed is featured.
- Comment on People who trade their time for money without saving up to buy back their freedom and time should be called voluntary slaves, not employees 2 weeks ago:
This sounds like some kind of hyper-libertarianism where even slavery is a individual choice or a personal failure.
You may not like it, but in England, this is what peak corn looks like.
