Tablet. And the cage was created by me to keep them safe. They’ll get more access and bigger toys as they age.

- Comment on We are stopping shipments to the US - Kiwix 2 weeks ago:
If the person in the US is only willing to pay 70, then the artist will get less than 70.
Sure, the American pays the tariff. That’s not the point. The point is that this person wants to spend X total and wants most of that X to end up with the artist. And that doesn’t happen if they have to spend half of X to pay for the tariff.
The point of saying “the American pays the tariff” isn’t to say that the seller makes the same amount. It’s to emphasize that the seller won’t absorb that cost, which is the lie Trump is selling.

This is a definition problem I think. I don’t use the word “responsible” to mean sole ownership. For example. We are all responsible for the cleanliness of our roads. It is a shared responsibility that we all participate in.
And, I think, we are all responsible for modeling good behaviors for people to emulate.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 2 weeks ago:
It’s how I’ve explained it to myself over the years. Otherwise people are insufferable :-p.
- Comment on How to selfhost with a VPN 2 weeks ago:
Of course it does. You’re only ever responsible for yourself.
And that mentality does not lead to good things.
- Comment on How to selfhost with a VPN 2 weeks ago:
Oh yes. Pushing personal responsibility to the end user has always been a very effective security strategy.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 2 weeks ago:
That’s still part of the job. Building and maintaining relationships allows you to call on those relationships to be productive. Even people that seem useless could be connected to other people who are useful.
It’s also part of the job to maintain a baseline of morale.
If a person is truly a time waster, set a boundary and tell your boss.

I’ll bite.
The risk is training people in bad behaviors, and then having those people do stupid things like type in a password.
- Comment on what does it mean being nice to your coworkers to you? 2 weeks ago:
instead of wasting 30 minutes?
Did the paycheck clear? Did you get paid? Then it wasn’t a waste. It’s part of the job. Do your job. Even the parts you don’t like.
- Comment on XC Running: Does anyone else's parents do this? 2 weeks ago:
feel like I won’t get anywhere in running
Running is the one sport where you’re guaranteed to get somewhere. Sure, it’s only 500 meters away. But it sounds like you’d benefit from distance from the crazy.
- Comment on That's an impressive drop. Any ideas why? 2 weeks ago:
People requiring consent more. Also, people being less likely to lie about sexual topics now.
I’d like to see a graph of consensual sex per week over time.
- Comment on Jeez, it's like there's no appeasing you tyrants 2 weeks ago:
Eh… You won’t catch many people with this. You spelled all your words correctly. You used the Oxford comma. 5/10.
If you want to come off as a properly ignorant bigot, lose the punctuation and capitalize random shit. You also need to say woke at least twice.

It means he showed up and cooked food even while sick, putting the rest of us at risk. But I can’t blame him because the other option is probably poverty.
- Comment on Is it? 2 weeks ago:
Which is worse: greenhouse gas, or people without fresh water? Both :-)
Point is, oat milk doesn’t have either problem. If you’re gonna fuck with non milk milk, pick a good one. There’s like ten options.
- Comment on Breaking The Creepy AI in Police Cameras 2 weeks ago:
In many states, you’re technically not able to alter the license plate or put stickers on it. But cameras don’t know how big things are supposed to be. So put a frame around your license plate with all sorts of crazy.

Their new GPU has a pretty solid price/performance.
CPU is shit though

The sync is weird though. I can’t say “upload this image” I have to say “keep this whole folder in sync”.

Stupid followers that need to be told to hate someone.
Could probably succeed on a “hate the billionaires” ticket, if these people weren’t so programmed with capitalism.

Are you happy now, communists? We’re nationalizing companies.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
And that’s why the incel culture is so popular. Anytime you have a hard problem, and pitch that it’s someone else’s responsibility to fix, people will love that.
Poor people " just need to work harder", immigrants " just need to come in the right way", women " just need to be less picky", and I don’t have to change or help.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
It’s easier to not care about a guy’s mental health when he’s married, even if it’s a shitty marriage. How can he be lonely if he has a wife, after all?
I’m happy for divorces. I’m happy for the increase in male loneliness BEING NOTICED. It used to just be the guy would work all day, or drink himself to death silently, to avoid the issue.
But the next step has to be for guys to be open to make emotional friendships.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
It’s not an issue only now. But we’re not isolated than before because we lost our third spaces and communities. Bunch of lonely wolves.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 weeks ago:
Some is valid. Men aren’t taught how to make and maintain emotionally open friendships, with men or women. It’s seen as weak or weird to cry on front of your bros when you’re sad. This leads to loneliness. This is real.
Some is not valid. Men claiming that they’re not getting laid and it’s women’s fault is bullshit. Or that women have impossibly high standards and are gold diggers. It’s nonsense.
The problem is that the “women hating incels” have coopted the term, and their garbage deserves to be mocked.
