That’s not how that works. It’s not a DnD sphere of annihilation, it’s an infinitely dense point of matter.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
The wound predates Reagan and goes back to the Civil War. Sherman had the chance to cauterize it, but he held back and let it fester, and here we are.

A lot of Trump voters are horribly uninformed. They didn’t know - and still don’t know - what Project 2025 is. They thought it was fearmongering because they only heard about it from Dems. They have no idea what’s happening right now, nor do they care. All they know is their team won, and they’re otherwise tuned out. Maybe they’ll wake up when they feel the effects, but they’ll probably just blame Democrats because Fox News tells them to.

You won’t even know they’re ads, it will just implant false childhood memories, giving you positive associations with the brand.

Undocumented immigration is not a felony, not even a misdemeanor. It’s a civil infraction, illegal in the sense of illegal parking. Do you support this kind of treatment for traffic tickets?

There is much, much more overlap between them than you may think.
- Comment on The Onion buys rightwing conspiracy theory site Infowars with plans to make it ‘very funny, very stupid’ 5 months ago:
To quote the Onion themselves:
No price would be too high for such a cornucopia of malleable assets and minds. And yet, in a stroke of good fortune, a formidable special interest group has outwitted the hapless owner of InfoWars (a forgettable man with an already-forgotten name) and forced him to sell it at a steep bargain: less than one trillion dollars.

The reason given for hiding them just makes that fact worse. It’s for “aesthetics”.
- Comment on Tradition 5 months ago:
How is a gmod shitpost anything but a return to tradition?
- Comment on Linus Torvalds reckons AI is ‘90% marketing and 10% reality’ 5 months ago:
The worrying part is the implications of what they’re claiming to sell. They’re selling an imagined future in which there exists a class of sapient beings with no legal rights that corporations can freely enslave. How far that is from reality doesn’t matter, it’s absolutely horrifying that this is something the ruling class wants.
- Comment on Half as Hot 5 months ago:
90 F to Kelvin, halved and converted back, is approximately -190.
It’s difficult to find data on what exposure to that temperature would do, the threshold for an extreme cold warning (meaning absolutely do not go outside without heavy protection) is about 150 F warmer than that.

Which raises the question of why he would create a planet with the illusion of age and send you to hell for falling for his own trick.
- Comment on Inside the U.S. Government-Bought Tool That Can Track Phones at Abortion Clinics 5 months ago:
Privacy regulations are to the left of the Overton window. The idea that corporations don’t have some divinely ordained ownership of our personal data is unthinkably radical.
- Comment on hard to argue with 5 months ago:
Kicking is our natural unarmed attack. Still a last resort compared to throwing rocks or whacking with sticks though. We evolved from ancestors who already used tools to defend themselves.

Are horseflies a lie because they don’t eat horses?
- Comment on I love diablo-likes, but they're also really annoying. 6 months ago:
This is why I’m looking forward to the first few seasons of PoE2. It sounds like they’re starting out focused on making the moment to moment gameplay more interesting. They’ll cave to the zoom zoom crowd soon enough and ruin the game with power creep within a year, but it’ll be fun while it lasts.
- Comment on I don't want to call Twitter X out of spite, but calling the travesty that is X Twitter is an insult to the people that made Twitter what it was. 6 months ago:
It was, but now it’s a steaming turd with Nazis and KKK apologists.

Charge the manager with a separate count of murder for every employee that died due to their orders.

Get the fuck out and call the fire department.
