- Comment on Self-Hosted AI Girlfriend is technically Incest. 1 day ago:
AI is not a person. It does not have thoughts, dreams, or emotions. It is not a sentient being of any sort.
It is not incest in any way.
- Comment on YouTube just quietly blocked Adblock Plus — the internet hasn't noticed yet, but I've found a workaround 1 day ago:
The time to learn would still save time wasted from watching ads.

Did you just make up a scenario and then try to shame them for not using the critical thinking you just invented?
- Comment on YSK: US Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem publically bragged about killing her puppy 4 days ago:
How they’re “put down” (that’s a very kind euphemism) is only part of the problem. It’s how they’re forced to live
That’s their entire life.

Not anymore.

- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
No one is one dimensional. Everyone has good aspects as well as bad. Churchill was definitely a flawed man (look up what he did in India to feed the war effort) but he did see the allies through to victory.
However the idea that Churchill caused WWII by resisting and fighting back is bullshit revisionism aimed at stopping people standing up against a bully. And coincidentally that’s exactly what MAGA would love for you to believe.
Trump is the bully/rapist today and they want you sit down and accept it. So far the American people have done it, but there’s still some resistance out there. They’d like that to stop so they’re rewriting history to make resisting fascism a bad thing.

- Comment on Funny 1 week ago:
No, but they’ve tried the reverse. They’ve tried and tried convincing gay people to be straight and it doesn’t work. That’s not how it works.
If you think you have a choice to be one way or the other, then you do. Because you’re bi.
- Comment on Funny 1 week ago:
I believe everybody is bisexual at first
Then you’re bisexual. If your “first” instinct was that both genders could be attractive, you’re bisexual. But societal pressure convinced you to only seek out heterosexual relationships.

Birds: A 360° turn is a complete circle so they’d keep going in the direction they’re going in.
- Comment on Did you ever use your Toe to turn one of these on or off? 1 week ago:
It actually clocked the processor down rather than speeding things up.
In the early days of PCs games usually just ran as fast as the processor ran. As the processors got faster, games started to run too quickly to play. The turbo button slowed down the processor speed so you could still play those older games.
Now games use the clock to determine how quickly things happen, not the speed of the processor, so we don’t have that problem.
- Comment on Google has sharply reduced its support for nonprofit groups devoted to DEI, in what appears to be another sign that the company is falling in line with President Trump’s anti-DEI crusade. 1 week ago:
People wonder how the Nazis were able to do the things they did. This is how. Cowards fell in line and obeyed.
We’re repeating history, and Trump and his allies have only just begun. We’re not even seven months into this nightmare.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

If you don’t control the device, you don’t own the device.
- Comment on Is this the end of Bootloader Unlocking in the EU? 1 week ago:
It’s like forcing a PC to only run the OS it’s delivered with.
That’s coming. Everything else has been locked down.
- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 1 week ago:
Sounds good. Why don’t you lead the way?
- Comment on Humanity will likely survive climate change, but the vast majority of humans won't. 1 week ago:
Yep. It doesn’t count any of the other huge problems we’re creating.
- Our farming techniques deplete the land and turn it to desert
- Over-fishing/hunting have led multiple animal populations on the brink of collapse. Even a small change could end it.
- We’re very close to depleting aquifers all over the globe. Once those are gone we don’t have anything to drink or to water our crops.
- We’re poisoning the skies and waterways with toxic chemicals, plastics, and forever chemicals.
- We’re breeding antibiotic resistant germs and modern travel allows viruses to spread worldwide in hours/days
We’re rushing towards our destruction in multiple ways. Any of those alone would result in massive deaths. And as resources get tighter, disputes and wars will break out over what’s left.
All of these together will nearly certainly lead to our destruction. And this is going to start hitting hard within 5-10 years.

- Comment on UK households could face VPN 'ban' after use skyrockets following Online Safety Bill 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on Lately, a great many people who used to say they didn't care about privacy because they had nothing to hide must be realizing what a flawed conclusion that was. 2 weeks ago:
Or visiting trans or other LGBTQ reources. Or aborion, mental health, autism, or whatever else they decice to persecute next.
This isn’t just a threat to what they don’t like now. We’ve seen how Trump turned perfectly normal things into targets. It’s a threat to whatever they decide they don’t like in the future.
