Definitely worth the millions of tax payers dollars. And this guy definitely just won a tournament on his own course fair and square a month ago, I’m sure. Our Dear Leader.

I’m guessing he first encountered the word in text without having heard it and his brain guessed it rhymes with “jaguar”, which is understandable.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 week ago:
So on the one hand, I think you are going to find almost nobody agrees with your pronunciation. On the other hand, you should wear your mispronunciations with pride because what that tells me is that you were a reader growing up and likely came about this word the first time in text without any other context, maybe even many times before you heard it spoken. Your brain made an educated guess (I’m guess pulling from the pronunciation of “jaguar”?). It got it wrong, but understandably so, and it has cemented in your brain. Fix it if you care to, but no real need. Either way, kudos for being a young reader.

Sehn-tar, because I am American and that’s how I learned to say it. How am I meant to justify a common pronunciation?
- Comment on Trump threatens 'far larger' tariffs if EU and Canada unite to do 'economic harm' to the U.S. 1 week ago:
Also if they can mostly or completely replace trade with the US, which is far easier when the US is fucking over nearly every trade partner, then they are completely unaffected by US tariffs. So how is this even a threat? “If you don’t buy my whiskey, I will charge Americans triple for your maple syrup!” Cool, I’m definitely not going to buy your whiskey now, and I’m going to sell my syrup to someone who also stopped buying syrup from you while I buy their whiskey. You can sit over there and just pretend like your tariffs are a threat and buy your own whiskey and make your own syrup. IFGAF.

Cute girl: “Oh, Light, you’re so cute. Let me give you my number.” … “Oh shoot, do you have a piece of paper I can borrow?”
Light: “Uh, yeah…” absentmindedly rips piece of the Death Note out “Uh, here you go…”
Cute girl: scribbles number on page “and there you go, cutey” walks away
Light: looks at paper “Oh… Oh no. ‘555-5555 TTYL, Light Yagami’? … Fuck.”
L: *rips off cute girl disguise" “Heh.”

- Comment on He thinks they'll just GIVE him money? 5 weeks ago:
Also, can you imagine the effect on the market of increasing the population by 3 percent and absolutely none of them contribute anything to the production of this country? They are all either costing off of their investment portfolios or running companies in other countries. They would be parasites on the system.
Btw, big numbers are hard to visualize. So for context of how big a population increase 10 million people would be all at once… If they put all of those rich fucks into a hypothetical new 51st state, it would be the 11th biggest state by population. They could build a new equally big and densely populated New York City (8.2 million people) filled to the brim with non-contributing fat cats, and form the remainder in 40th largest state. If they formed a country, they would be more populated than Greece.
Trump is talking about absorbing the population of entire countries. And not the kind of people that will work in fields and factories and pay taxes and contribute to their new home. No. These are the kind of people that will just consume and extort and lobby for more money and power for themselves. This is a nightmare scenario.

It was certainly a waste of my Family Video rental fee
- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 5 weeks ago:
There are 4 sequels. I think I have only seen most of 2 and a part of 3. They’re super low budget and completely miss the point, as I recall.
- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 5 weeks ago:
Sacrifice your body, mind and autonomy to the system. Kill to protect property. Make every waking moment about maintaining and advancing our corporate overlords’ wealth and control.
This is the way.

With only about 34% of his body remaining.

In all fairness, the Starship Troopers sequels forget the point of the first film too. And the fact that movies are supposed to be watchable.

Eh, they could very well have someone that wants to kill them. But it’s less likely that they have someone willing to take the risk of prison to do it though, or the knowledge of how to actually make a bomb

- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 month ago:
I’m all software/data engineer, so for work I obviously use a computer all the time. I also have a very nice personal computer but it doesn’t get as much use anymore as it used to. I play the occasional game on it, use it for tracking our budget/finances and stuff once a month, manage my plex server, and do the occasional random task on it that requires things like typing or photo editing. But it’s not been getting a lot of attention since I finished school, even less since having my daughter.
My phone is my main device for most of my entertainment, web surfing, news reading, banking, etc. plus it keeps my todos/shopping lists, my wife and I’s shared calendar, my alarms, digital coupons for groceries, GPS… all of my regular day to day task helpers. Not to mention is takes and stores my photos, allows me to call and text people, and gives me mobile access to my cloud files and services. It’s definitely my primary device.
But I still love me computer and wish I had more time to do my own work on it.

- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 month ago:
They’ll justify stuff like that by telling you they sold it to you at a discount price because the ads offset your costs. That’s what Amazon did with the cheap tablet I bought for my wife.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 month ago:
You don’t need to be allergic to advertisement to avoid shit like this. The fucking audacity of companies these days. There is no place they won’t get to shove the damn things to the detriment of every product, service, and personal moment. If they could put screens under your eyelids you’d have to watch drug ads one blink at a time and your dreams would be sponsored by AT&T.

- Comment on Hogwarts Legacy Official Mod Support Confirmed For This Week 2 months ago:
Yes, and you can’t divorce the fact that she profits from all official media associated with the Harry Potter and paying for said media inescapable enriches her more. However, it is also true that the team that made this game did an amazing job of a creating a hogwarts/ Wizarding world that feels real and amazing, that they do not support her bigotry, and that included a non-token well-respected open trans character who gets to share her story as part of the main quest line of the game. Supporting the game is not, in itself, support of trans bigotry. It’s complicated.

Sure. It would be personally meaningful. Changing your name is always meaningful, I would hope. But it is not contributing to the the dismantling of the patriarchal norms. Not every action has to be, of course. But the conceit of this post is implied to be that her intention was just that, a rejection of patriarchal naming conventions. If that was her intention, it was misguided and failed to achieve that goal.
