- Comment on If you record yourself talking to someone and then watch the video... it feels very weird... like a bizzare out-of-body experience... 11 hours ago:
I used to find myself kind of floating above the meeting or whatever I was in. Just observing, while also still participating. I wonder if that’s similar. I don’t think I’ve ever filmed myself talking to someone.
- Comment on YSK: listening to audiobooks and reading books both activate the same language related areas of the brain 12 hours ago:
According to this page, that is just not true.
When you read, your brain is working hard behind the scenes. It recognizes the shapes of letters, matches them to speech sounds, connects those sounds to meaning, then links those meanings across words, sentences and even whole books. The text uses visual structure such as punctuation marks, paragraph breaks or bolded words to guide understanding. You can go at your own speed.
Listening, on the other hand, requires your brain to work at the pace of the speaker. Because spoken language is fleeting, listeners must rely on cognitive processes, including memory to hold onto what they just heard.

Hey thanks. I found 3 claims and almost $200.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
Huh, I didn’t know that about China. TIL.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 1 week ago:
Russia invaded Ukraine and was immediately under many sanctions. I don’t get why the world doesn’t treat the US the same way. Aside from greed.
- Comment on Meetings 1 week ago:
Most meetings, in my obviously limited experience, are held by people who don’t have anything else to do. And all the people who need to get shit done are pissed about having to sit through a meeting that could have been handled with a short email.
- Comment on When I was a kid, computers expanded your mind and your freedoms, bringing power to the individual. With AI, now it does the thinking for you, takes your job, gives power only to a few billionaires. 1 week ago:
I haven’t read Strauss in so long. I need to go back and reread them. His books were always a lot of fun.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 1 week ago:
Ah, I thought that Hillary ended up getting more votes. I must be wrong. I’m in no way denying the fuckery that went along with it, from the DNC to media doing everythign they could to keep Bernie out, but in the end, voters are the ones who vote. Tell me again about how it’s not ultimately the voters.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 1 week ago:
How does/did Schumer, Grassley, Graham, Pelosi, McConnell, Feinstein, and so on, stay in power? I always get downvoted and naysayed when I say this, but American voters fucking suck. Just the absolute worst. People will blame the two party system, and they do have a point there, but those same people don’t show up in the primaries to make a difference. They’re too scared to vote for change, as they’ve shown over and over. Just a bunch of ignorant, self-satisfied, cowards.
- Comment on Rare Earth 1 week ago:
I’m wondering at the couple downvotes. What am I missing?
- Comment on Why do Interstate highways exits post the nearby jail/prison/detention center? 1 week ago:
I’ve only noticed them at the prisons that are out in bummfuck Cali. Off the 5 in the Central Valley, like OP said, or out in the desert off the 10.
- Comment on Why do Interstate highways exits post the nearby jail/prison/detention center? 1 week ago:
So you won’t pick up escapees hitchhiking.

Saw them live 3 times before that shit. Never listened to a single song since.
- Comment on Word. 3 weeks ago:
I thought Typst looked interesting, I just have too many years of LaTex mental patterns and Vim shortcuts to be bothered to try it. I’ve suggested Typst to a couple of friends who later said,“thanks.”
- Comment on Word. 3 weeks ago:
How does gnumeric work for you? That’s my spreadsheet goto, but to be fair I have very simple demands.
- Comment on it is legal to keep a kangaroo as a pet in oklahoma 4 weeks ago:
Now I’m off to see how they are as pets. Awful would be my guess.

- Comment on Two survivors of Brown University attack escaped other school shootings 4 weeks ago:
I suppose we could do something about gun violence here, but for now I’m just making sure that I don’t go to school with Tretta and Weissman.
- Comment on Pentagon Unveils New GenAI Platform, It Immediately Starts Flagging Pete Hegseth's War Crimes 4 weeks ago:
I know someone in the DoD who said that system requires you to login with your gov’t id to use. I mean, I guess it makes sense, aside from any security concerns, and the normal AI downsides.
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 4 weeks ago:
He also says that he has backups, so “lost” seems a little apocalyptic. Hard to feel too bad for someone who is that invested in a corporation though.
- Comment on It will trickle down any second now 4 weeks ago:
In the past, the owners and/or aristocracy, lived in the general area of workers. Not the case anymore. I would love it if people started Luigi-ing aggressively.
- Comment on It will trickle down any second now 4 weeks ago:
And don’t forget to get rid of the Dems who have been there. Replace them with actual leftists.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Right wingers are freaking idiots. I wouldn’t let anything that comes from that bunch of xenophobic, racist, strong-man-loving turds. Asking a right winger to explain their viewpoint will just make you feel dumber. Why are you even caring what some stupid, inbred, shallow-thinking bigots think or say?

- Comment on YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 1 month ago:
OK, let’s be “generous” and agree to that figure. Or twice that. It doesn’t change a thing I said, and nobody will ever find me defending Stalin, unless their lenses are crazy colored.
- Comment on YSK Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, diplomats, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 1 month ago:
Nope, you asked the question and I gave a decent answer. Never ever said Stalin was other than evil. Goes down in history with Hitler and Pol Pot. Again, you are the one who asked. And…you keep using that phrase. I do not think it means what you think it does. You can’t be bothered to give a reasoned response, so I can’t be bothered to get dumber reading anything else you have to say. Or as you seem to gargle out yip yip (Avatar rocked. The animated show, not the movie) and whaddabout whaddabout whaddabout. Which was the original freaking discussion ya dummy.
