I keep a detailed record of her periods and bowel movements! I’m thinking of putting it online for the world to enjoy.
- Comment on Amid fresh warnings that Russia is preparing “violent acts of sabotage” in Europe and NATO states, experts say there is already a significant uptick in what appears to be covert Russian sabotage 1 week ago:
I’m starting to feel like these Russians are real jerks.

…wikipedia.org/…/The_Man_Who_Mistook_His_Wife_for… is a fantastic exploration of this idea, focusing on people who have lost specific parts of their brains due to tumors or strokes. The human mind is very much like a complex modern website- take Amazon for example, if everything is working, it’s the website where you buy stuff, but if certain specific systems are offline, you lose specific features, like your order history, or your cart, or your recommended products, etc… Missing one or two of of those components diminishes the site somewhat, but it’s still more or less Amazon. Your brain works the same way!
- Comment on Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone 2 weeks ago:
Last week, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in California released a ruling that concluded state highway police were acting lawfully when they forcibly unlocked a suspect’s phone using their fingerprint.
You can turn that and Face ID off on iOS by mashing the power button 5 times- it locks everything down.

- Comment on DJI might get banned next in the US 3 weeks ago:
Unless you live next to an airport or next to a federal building, it’s really not all that restrictive. Only places I haven’t been able to fly were near camp David and a local airport.
- Comment on What a TikTok Ban Would Mean for the U.S. Defense of an Open Internet 3 weeks ago:
Yeah I get what you’re saying- I’m making the point that for an uncomfortably large portion of the world, including people in America, Facebook/instagram/tiktok IS the internet. We can ensure the pipes are clear all we want, but if the application layer is effectively the access portal and is in itself locked down with an iron fist, we’re ignoring the real and more immediate problem.
One of the great tragedies in tech is wikis/forums/message boards being replaced by discord, an unsearchable, ephemeral, corporately controlled platform. Have a discord/slack/whatever to chat sure, but put your docs out in the open!
- Comment on What a TikTok Ban Would Mean for the U.S. Defense of an Open Internet 3 weeks ago:
Open internet- right- even every website forces you to use the app otherwise it nags you to death or disables features, or just sucks and the app is a mass surveillance collection engine requesting access to every service and sensor on your phone or no-bueno. So open, #open.
I’m all for things being open, but what the major social apps force you to do to use them is basically criminal.

- Comment on Russia Is Making Its Own Gaming Consoles 1 month ago:
This will be great, the rusbox 720 where in every game you play as a hulked out Putin wiping out gay, Ukrainian, and American hoards non stop. Buying one and playing it for hours a day becomes mandatory and enforced by law. Putin declares it a massive success and has a photo op of himself “playing” it with a bunch of happy kids while holding the controller upside down. They’re notoriously unreliable and they only ever get 3 official titles, and in the end they are just used to play pirated copies of GTA 4.

- Comment on Hallmark 1 month ago:
To anyone wondering, this is from the lovely movie Misery with Kathy Bates and James Caan. It’s the heartwarming tale of a writer who has lost his passion and a lonely woman coming together in unexpected circumstance to explore friendship and meaning in life. Caan rolls away with a new-found zest for life after unforgettable months spent with Bates.
It’s a must see, a powerful performance and unforgettable story!

- Comment on Can we talk about FF7 - Rebirth? 2 months ago:
Haven’t played rebirth yet, but played original many times. IGN did a play through review vid: youtu.be/5jvBmusBMzo?si=O3qFNeb__PaF7sHl which makes it look both a lot like and very unique from the original at the same time. I dunno how many hours you put in so far, but it looks like there’s easily 35-100 hours worth of content, which is in line with the original. The video I linked makes it look fun, but I’ll reserve judgement until I get a chance to play it!

Then they should count as dependents, grant the parents tax breaks, be eligible for social benefits, receive child support payments, be counted as passengers when in mom driving in HOV lanes, etc.
- Comment on West holds Putin responsible for Navalny’s death 2 months ago:
The way that’s worded makes it sound like everyone not in the west must be mentally retarded. Of course Putin did it, you think the guy slipped in the shower? Why was he in prison to begin with huh? Robbing banks?
