- Comment on Treasury Secretary Bessent says it's up to China to de-escalate trade tensions 21 hours ago:
Lol China gonna sit back and watch Trump twist in the breeze while they put Putin further into debt.
- Comment on FBI issues warning over scammers impersonating agents to steal your money 6 days ago:
True, but the FBI does hate competition.
- Comment on What should I store in a 1 Gallon (3.7 liter) Pickle Jar? 1 week ago:
A mixture of honey, water, a cinnamon stick, and yeast. Capped off with a relief valve.
- Comment on Look at conservative who cares about merit now. 2 weeks ago:
Sorry, too many cases to know wtf this is referring to.
- Comment on A 'US-Made iPhone' Is Pure Fantasy 2 weeks ago:
They already are, prison labor expansion would be at the expense of existing companies.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 3 weeks ago:
Right wingers have, or cause, trouble in open forums, so most social media that isn’t operated as a walled garden, tends to be more left leaning.
- Comment on Not just crumbs in the CPU socket: Over 100 AMD 9800X3D chips are now reported to have gone pop and the most by far have died in ASRock motherboards 3 weeks ago:
Are over 80% of them going in to ASRock boards in the first place?
- Comment on Replit CEO Amjad Masad says learning to code is a waste of time, citing Dario Amodei's prediction that AI may generate essentially all code by next year. 4 weeks ago:
As a coder, the majority of my job isn’t writing code. It’s translating the bullshit management says and the broken specs we’re given into what they both actually want, not what they said. There is never going to be an AI that fixes that
- Comment on Best doctor advice to stop falling in the shower 5 weeks ago:
Like anyone can afford to talk to a doctor any more.
- Comment on US retailers haggle with suppliers after Trump tariffs 5 weeks ago:
Totally agree, and it’s a major problem for every business that works with them, as well as the entire market that buys from them.
- Comment on US retailers haggle with suppliers after Trump tariffs 5 weeks ago:
A lot of the time you can, but it’s a challenge to go and find them, and a lot of the time they simply don’t, or can’t, sell to the public. Hopefully the latest backlash against big tech will cause some adjustments in the market. Maybe someone can come up with a decentralized way to offer direct sales services for manufacturers.
- Comment on US retailers haggle with suppliers after Trump tariffs 5 weeks ago:
Fuck that, raise the damn price. Making cuts now will only hurt your business more over time. Never let a distributor control so much of your business that you can’t drop them.
- Comment on Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars? 1 month ago:
Exchange it quick and get out.
- Comment on Trump’s past speeches to Congress asked them to pass his agenda. Now, he’s willing to go it alone 1 month ago:
Dictators don’t ask to do things, they tell the legislature what to pass, and eliminate those that disagree.
- Comment on Elon Musk shocks the country as he reveals the 'biggest Ponzi scheme of all time' he's unmasked through DOGE 1 month ago:
He’s calling supporting your country a ponzi scheme. He has no patriotism, and has no respect for America. He should have his citizenship revoked.
- Comment on Trump says he’s confident Putin will ‘keep his word’ if there’s a deal to end the war in Ukraine 1 month ago:
Hey Trump, I’ve got a billion tons of gold hidden in an under sea mine. I just need some cash to start the expedition to recover it. $500 million should cover start up, and I’ll give you half the gold. We’ll be the richest the world has ever known! Trust me!
- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 2 months ago:
Part of the problem is Medicare is already taxing for healthcare. A state creating their own system would have to tax on top of that, and duplicate the administration of it.
It’s kind of like states trying to stop using daylight savings on their own. Technically they can, but only after getting all of congress and the president to agree.
- Comment on COVID Mortality Risk Was Nearly Nonexistent, New Study Finds 2 months ago:
Covid deaths saved Social Security over $200 billion alone. So only a hundred years of everything Elon has done to break things.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 months ago:
He wasn’t against gay rights, would probably be the best description. He specifically avoided the topic while campaigning in order to avoid his earlier controversy entrapping men from the Navy by sending men out to have sex with them. Not because he hated gays, he was just given a job, and wasn’t against over doing it. Eleanor took a lesbian lover later on, and he hired a known gay man to serve in his cabinet. For the time, that’s about as progressive as it gets. In modern times, Gore was to the left of Obama and Biden socially.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 2 months ago:
Bernie was more liberal, FDR ran and won 3 times on a more liberal platform.
- Comment on Politico Dealt Blow by Trump Admin - NewsBreak 2 months ago:
Foreign offices were paying for Politico subscriptions, not a subsidy. Also given every other mistake Elon has made, it’s more likely to be $8 than $8 million.
- Comment on Kevin sounds nice! 2 months ago:
The choice was, be a friend, or be pig food. Kevin chose wisely.
- Comment on Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing? 2 months ago:
Shorts covered with quartz sequins would scatter the image enough to blind the scanner. Make sure they’re mounted with glue instead of metal mounts, or they’ll fail the metal detector.
- Comment on Size of an adult Moose. And they are not as friendly as Bullwinkle 2 months ago:
Everyone involved in that picture is too close to that moose.
- Comment on Deepfake videos are getting shockingly good | TechCrunch 2 months ago:
I still think Ilhan should sue Musk for slander. At least 100mil in damages.
- Comment on Trump tariffed Columbia in response to not letting a plane of deported illegals in. 2 months ago:
He’s putting himself first, and America last. He’s so weak he couldn’t deal with Colombia before trying to sneak abused prisoners into their country.
He got played by Brazil putting the last plane load all over the media. Leading to Colombia stopping flights in the first place. Because his pea brain only sees making more people suffer as the next step to isolate America from the world and destroy our alliances.
- Comment on Trump Begins Selling New Meme Coin Days Ahead of Inauguration 3 months ago:
So bribery is now an alt coin. Got it.
- Comment on CBS News’s Margaret Brennan Compares Illegal Aliens to Einstein | Headline USA 3 months ago:
Heisenberg almost destroyed his chances of admission because he wanted to point out that the constitution had a path to totalitarianism built into it. Einstein told him to shut up and pass the test.
- Comment on Fossil Fuel Interests Ramp Up Their “Solar Makes Electricity More Expensive” Falsehood 3 months ago:
Ukraine cutting off Russian oil has helped with that a bit. I’d say it could start a trend if western oil companies had enough influence they could also shut down Russian exports to India or their ghost fleet to help support prices. But I seriously doubt Putin will let Trump do that.
- Comment on Jimmy Carter was the end of an era in presidential politics 3 months ago:
Tomato tomahto, he was the last normal president before our politics were hijacked by the right.
They lost their damn minds over Nixon, and didn’t have a plan in place when Carter won.
