- Comment on USA | What SCOTUS just did to net neutrality, the right to repair, the environment, and more 1 day ago:
Yes I’m saying that the branch of government whose job it is to craft laws should be the one crafting laws. It’s amazing you can disagree with such a basic statement in such a condescending way and not even question whether or not you’re a acting like an asshole. Take your shitty attitude somewhere else.
- Comment on USA | What SCOTUS just did to net neutrality, the right to repair, the environment, and more 1 day ago:
You’re assuming experts are always in charge of government agencies and I don’t think that’s true. Government always runs at least partially on the honor system, hoping that voters will punish those who abuse the public trust. We don’t do that anymore. They abuse our trust and we reelect them anyway.
- Comment on USA | What SCOTUS just did to net neutrality, the right to repair, the environment, and more 2 days ago:
Technically their interpretation is correct, laws should be explicitly enumerated by the legislative branch which has the most accountability to voters. We’re all just so desensitized to the fact that Congress is a wasteland of gridlock and special interest money that we don’t even expect them to do the job of creating laws anymore. If we had a working legislative branch this would be a gentle reminder for them to be thorough and use detailed language when crafting legislation, instead it’s a depressing reminder that our government quite literally cannot function without outsourcing the central function of one of the main branches.
- Comment on Tesla is recalling its Cybertruck for the fourth time to fix problems with trim pieces that can come loose and front windshield wipers that can fail | The new recalls each affect over 11,000 trucks 5 days ago:
Honest question, what’s there to be hyped about? I haven’t ever looked into its feature set because it looks like ass. Do people just like the Tesla name or what?
- Comment on Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined 1 week ago:
What’s there to learn that isn’t already widely known? Existing (copyright) laws are asinine and all corporations eventually become consumed by greed. That’s America in a nutshell.

Nice, it should be even easier to sneak a chicken past a guy in a wheelchair.
- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 weeks ago:
Except most people don’t give a shit about Dolby. Even audophiles mostly don’t care about them as a company or the fact that they’re involved beyond the games ability to support high end output devices. Put that garbage on the box or in the credits at the end of the game where it belongs
- Comment on Masahiro Sakurai refused to add Dolby Surround to a Kirby game because players had to sit through the logo 5 weeks ago:
They’re so pointless too. What are they even expecting forcing them in our faces to accomplish? You either care about audio or you don’t. Seeing your logo isn’t going to change that

Echo chambers are a lot easier to recognize and ignore when they aren’t filled with your friends and family.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah you can tell by way these sorts of articles are worded that the economy is structured such that good things happening to the general public are considered bad news. Isn’t it wonderful?
- Comment on Over 90% of wealthiest bankers are men, EU figures show 1 month ago:
Are we really so concerned with gender that the problem we see with the ultra wealthy is that there’s not enough women oppressing us? Don’t get me wrong, statistics broken out by gender can be useful in certain circumstances but I can’t quite see how this is a useful discussion to have. We should be talking about what’s in their bank account, not their pants.

- Comment on Google reshapes Fitbit in its image as users allege “planned obsolescence” 3 months ago:
My wife and I both had our fitbits die a few weeks apart after software updates. This is the second time it’s happened to me in the last year. I may not replace it at all as I don’t use it as much as I once did but if I do it sure as shit won’t be with another fitbit product. Support is terrible and they’re clearly up to no good.
Garmin makes a tracker very similar to the one I was using from fitbit, as well as a wide range of smartwatches. I hear they are good quality so that’s likely what I’ll get if I decide to replace it.

What do you mean about the controls? I have no complaints in that realm but maybe I’m overlooking something.
- Comment on A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us. 3 months ago:
They pay more but not 80% of the total cost of maintenance. That’s what the distribution would need to be in order to cancel out the outsized influence they have on infrastructure degradation.

Yes, but you brought up other heavy vehicles not me.
- Comment on A 7,000-Pound Car Smashed Through a Guardrail. That’s Bad News for All of Us. 3 months ago:
18 wheelers and other heavy vehicles are definitely not going to be stopped by a guardrail. They also disintegrate any small passenger vehicle they come in contact with at any significant speed. I’m not sure how pointing out that they are dangerous is a load of shit.
Additionally, heavy vehicles cause upwards of 80% of road wear, which means we are subsidizing private transport companies by not forcing them to fund a proportional amount of road maintenance.
- Comment on The job applicants shut out by AI: ‘The interviewer sounded like Siri’ 3 months ago:
The problem with that is that the people defining what makes the process “better” actually enjoy making it more annoying for you. It’s going to be even more obnoxious than it already is, which is pretty goddamn terrible to start with.
- Comment on US lawmakers vote 50-0 to force sale of TikTok despite angry calls from users 3 months ago:
While you’re not wrong about double standards, anything that discourages the use of vapid social media platforms is a win in my book. Use whatever backwards logic you like to make it happen so long as it’s effective.
- Comment on Good job man 👍 3 months ago:
That is beautiful but it seems like a lot more work than the standard way of dealing with an inside corner like that and for no real benefit other than aesthetics.

Yeah well, your mom’s an autonomous suction device.
- Comment on Tipping culture npcs 4 months ago:
These are reasons why the economy, politicians, and your employer are failing you. Be upset with the people who create and maintain the system, not other people like you who are just trying to escape their own shitty work situations with a beer and a cheeseburger. It shouldn’t be their job to pay you directly. People in other industries don’t accept a pay structure like that and you shouldn’t either.
- Comment on Cocoa prices spiked to an all-time high right before Valentine's Day 4 months ago:
Cocoa isn’t exactly a staple food. If the price bothers you it’s pretty easy to do without. That’s not the same for other types of food that have seen price increases.

- Comment on working at a hospital: should I remain in the room watching a patient until he takes a certain medication? 5 months ago:
Then congrats to this competent adult, they have probably killed themselves. That’s their choice to make.
To OP’s point it’s not their job to prevent someone from doing something stupid but rather to educate and provide an alternative. You can lead a horse to water and all that.
- Comment on Fair is fair 5 months ago:
It already is in many cases via bailouts, bankruptcy proceedings, subsidies, tax incentives, government grants, etc. Plus, employees lose their source of income which is about as big of a financial blow as the working class can receive. I get that this is supposed to be a meme and I’m probably taking it too seriously but still.
- Comment on Solar rooftops gain traction as electric vehicles owners look to skip paying for electricity or gasoline: ‘Solar just makes sense’ 6 months ago:
In many cases the cost of a loan for solar panels is roughly equivalent to your monthly electric bill. I actually spend less on my loan than I did with the utility company. Of course you have a valid point overall, but I bring this up because many people are not aware that the cost difference can be pretty minimal or even to your benefit.

You mean the companies with more money than most countries? Yeah I’m sure they’re really struggling to get enough work out of employees.
