- Comment on Most minimum wage studies have found little or no job loss (2024) 21 hours ago:
I remember some news article back in the '70s or '80s that came to the same conclusion. It’s kind of irrelevant though. If you don’t get paid enough working to pay for living, then the pay is too low. Livable Wage, you wage-setting mother fuckers.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 21 hours ago:
I agree. It’s one of those nerd pedantic facts that people throw out.
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 22 hours ago:
Captain Christopher Pike was played by Jeffery Hunter in the first Star Trek series, but was only in the pilot or something before Shatner took the reins. If you were sincerely asking.

Oh dear. The years are going too fast. Thanks for correcting!
- Comment on Rent inflation across 30 major US cities (2020-2026) 3 days ago:
At least our caring representatives, sensitive to the needs of their constituents, have pushed through an increase to what is considered a livable wage. Wait…what…they haven’t for 13 years. Well fuck.
- Comment on billy 5 days ago:
I don’t know if you saw this posted earlier. Really demoralizing to see only 18% of Americans think being really rich^*^ is immoral.
^*^ Full response: “Being extremely rich (for example, having billions of dollars)."
4 out of 5 Americans are fine with billionaires. This country is so fucked.

All these tossers just standing around watching? What the fuck?
- Comment on Drivers could get licence points for fly-tipping 1 week ago:
Seems like it would be cheaper and more efficient to just establish a free public waste drop off place.

Glad to read that it’s not just me.
- Comment on This Fall, Florida Students Will Be Forced to Take “Anti-Communist” Classes 1 week ago:
I had a two exchange students from Germany one time. I, and a couple students, stood up for the pledge of allegiance. I asked the German students if the whole thing felt a little Heil-ish. They both sighed and nodded, they told me they had talked about it, but didn’t want to bring it up and make things awkward.
And I don’t think anyone should say “thank you for your service” to mercenaries.
- Comment on This Fall, Florida Students Will Be Forced to Take “Anti-Communist” Classes 1 week ago:
DARE did a little program in our cafeteria. There was a cop at a table with various drug things on it, including a big bag of weed. My friends and I walked by can I commented appreciatively,“Now THAT is a big bag of weed!” And the cop, in full serious cop mode, said in a dead serious voice,“Yeah. That’s enough to KILL YA!” We laughed and walked away. The whole thing was so stupid.

- Comment on US presidents ranked by how much of a soul it looks like they have behind those eyes 1 week ago:
I think it’s just old, but it’s still missing 2 presidents if I didn’t count wrong.
- Comment on OpenAI on Surveillance and Autonomous Killings: You’re Going to Have to Trust Us 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, should have been “Trust us…or not. Doesn’t matter, we’ll do what we want regardless.”
- Comment on People who grew up with Vietnam and the Cold War, is Iran going to be the new vietnam or just a semi cool war? 2 weeks ago:
I think that’s a completely valid concern.
- Comment on People who grew up with Vietnam and the Cold War, is Iran going to be the new vietnam or just a semi cool war? 2 weeks ago:
Neither? After Vietnam, the US doesn’t have the stomach/naivety to put up with that again. The US isn’t on a war economy. There aren’t two other massive countries supporting and supplying Iran. War isn’t waged that way anymore. It’s not going to be Vietnam, and it’s not even a semi cool war. It’ll go down as as distraction (hopefully not the distraction) from the criminality and depravity of the Epstein class. Iran will remain a power in the region and the world will have yet another reason not to trust the US.
- Comment on Linux 7.0 File-System Benchmarks With XFS Leading The Way 2 weeks ago:
I look at these types of comparisons and have to remind myself,“Self, you won’t notice the difference”. I guess it’s pretty important for high traffic sites.
- Comment on update 2 weeks ago:
Must have gone back in time as well. It’s been many decades since a nuclear weapon was used in an attack.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 2 weeks ago:
Had the same experience. I ended up having my doctor write a prescription for wegovy pills and am just paying $200 out of pocket. I figure I’m at least breaking even by eating less. Only been a month so far.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
Some have been good for individuals, some have been bad. Like any decision made by the unwashed masses over decades long time frames. I mean, at the end I’m living in a capitalistic hellhole, if that’s what you mean.
- Comment on Arabic document from 17th-century rubbish heap confirms existence of semi-legendary Nubian king 3 weeks ago:
Not really related, but I’m embarrassed about how old I was before realizing “Nubian” wasn’t just a term regarding attractive women with an abundance of melanin.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it’s a language issue or what, but you sure seem to be coming at me with a strong attitude for something or other, and I can’t really figure out what you are trying to accomplish.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
Direct acts, as in voting to drive from here to there, or build a building someplace? Or acts, as in legislation that determines how gov’t is run? I think we are/were on a semantic parallel or something.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
I think you replied to the wrong person.
- Comment on the two party system is just one big party 3 weeks ago:
On the federal level, that’s not what or how a representation democracy works. On the state level, my state usually has quite a number of direct voter initiatives.
- Comment on Pissing in the shower is better in every way than pissing in the toilet. 3 weeks ago:
Toilet is easier to flush. Unless I’m actually showering at the time, I’d much rather use the toilet than the shower.

Not worth it.

OK, seems like quite the law breaking. Someone’s head will roll, right? RIGHT?!
