- Comment on Marlow: Musk Thinks Half of Government Is Waste and There’s Proof Backing Him Up 7 hours ago:
I know I should not expect much from Breitbart, but even I expected them to at least to go into some detail on the claim of there being proof. Just something perfunctory at the very least.

Does it though?
- Comment on Trump and Musk aren’t the first to make deep cuts. Clinton-era Reinventing Government saved billions 5 days ago:
I don’t know if tying yourself to a Administration that deregulated to the point that it caused one of the most devastating and massive Financial collapses in American history is really a winning strategy.
- Comment on Is it a pattern that every time a movie, show or animation that doesn't have a white person as the protagonist is attacked by right-wingers? 1 week ago:
We can quibble about whether or not a second character merits the title lead or not, however it’s still inaccurate to use it as an example of a counter to the raised point. The show’s main lead was a white male character. That’s inarguable.

Isn’t the dragon Prince’s lead a white guy? I’m almost positive. Also a lot of these are probably too obscure to really raise a stir. I’m kind of shocked even brought up dragon Prince much less the Gundam show you mentioned.
Also your ability to wall yourself off from the Star Wars “controversies” is rather impressive.
- Comment on How did people end-up agreeing on the name of rivers/mountains and seas ? 2 weeks ago:
Typically starts by wiping out the people that had other names for it.
- Comment on Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy? 2 weeks ago:
I mean I kind of disagree with this. Pokemon games got slower. Not that the first couple were speed demons or anything, but they got progressively slower. Gen 3 is when it started getting noticeable I think as op is mentioning here, Generation 4 was downright excruciating.
- Comment on Why is Pokémon Emerald so grindy? 2 weeks ago:
Biggest tip I have is playing an emulator so you can up the speed. Pokemon games as they progressed got slow. And I don’t mean just the grind I mean like the game play itself like shit took longer. Move took longer to happen. Jesus Christ does HM moves by like the Gen 4 were just excruciatingly slow I had to stop playing. Absolutely emulator double or triple speed helps tremendously.

I’d say anything before the PlayStation era.

It wouldn’t be so sure about getting that refund
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 3 weeks ago:
To your point though diminishing returns. When is it worth it. You’ve just a conceded that enforcing said laws don’t actually prevent the crime. I would say enforcement never prevents any crime and enforcement is about punishment not prevention. So when is it worth it? What level totalitarianism an authoritarianism is worth it? How much abuse and Injustice is necessary to assuage your fears about the other? Surely you’re not going to sit here and tell me only fear of punishment is what stops you from murdering people?
- Comment on What do you think of anarchism? 3 weeks ago:
They’re enforced now but murder still happens.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
To put it very simply and probably too broadly, capitalism. Our whole system is built around taking advantage of people.
- Comment on Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’ 5 weeks ago:
I mean honestly the Reddit boycott of Twitter might actually be pretty significant if the major sports Subs keep it up.

Why change parties? He gets to do everything the Republicans wanted to do and the fucking idiot Democrats will keep backing him.

That is so perversely funny
- Comment on Can you see yourself cutting off by a generation of gaming? 1 month ago:
I think we all do that naturally a little bit, just like we also do it for music, and to maybe a lesser extent movies. But completely cut off? Probably not

It would cause the dissolution of the monarchy.

Mount and Blade Warband. Or maybe EU4.
- Comment on "Cancel Me... I'm For America": NYC Mayor Eric Adams Hints At Switch To Republican Party 2 months ago:
I think a lot of people would be shocked to find he isn’t already. The why Republicans would want him is a better question. He’s a lunatic who’s taking on water at an alarming rate.

I’ve seen other a few other articles by this ‘person’ and I’m positive it’s not.
- Comment on Pronoun-Wielding Jaguar Boss Goes On Damage Control After Cringeworthy Woke Ad 3 months ago:
I’m sorry it’s just the irony of somebody calling something cringeworthy but going by the byline of Tyler Durden. It’s just perfect
- Comment on If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will sucession still be applicable? Like Vance the new pres and Johnson the new VP? 3 months ago:
I think you’re missing my point. That would be true after they are sworn in. The hypothetical in question here was before they are sworn in. We have no precedent for this scenario.
Also Ford would have received the votes as vice president from the Electoral College. The College votes for both the president and the vice president.
- Comment on If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will sucession still be applicable? Like Vance the new pres and Johnson the new VP? 3 months ago:
Johnson doesn’t just move up into a new job. They’d have to pick a new vice president. In the middle of they could pick Johnson I suppose, I don’t know why he would want to be the vice president when he is Speaker of the House though. Now the question is how they pick a new vice president, because I don’t believe there’s any precedent to guide that. Would they have to nominate one in Congress and have them vote on him? That’s what they would do if the vice president already been sworn in, but since he wouldn’t have been at that point I don’t know there’s any real way of knowing. You can make an argument that the RNC would be able to just name one, but again there’s no precedent.

I’m going to recommend you get some of those sticky things for your shower floor so you don’t slip and hit your head again.
- Comment on If a leftist ran for president, would liberals support him? 3 months ago:
You know when conservatives post pictures of counties being all one color thus showing significant voting support most people speak up about how land doesn’t vote and explain why those maps are kind of useless. Just food for thought.
- Comment on You Pay For It, We Own It - Sony's $7.9B Lawsuit 3 months ago:
Do we need to wake up to that? Or do we need to say that’s bullshit? Which one sounds better? Maybe companies need to wake up to the fact that they shouldn’t be able to do anything they want. Why can’t we wake up to that reality?
