- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 days ago:
I heard a similar news report on PBS a couple weeks ago. Aside from the obvious, and already mentioned, don’t have kids. Both for the environment, and to not put your kids through the coming bullshit.
- Comment on In California, plans to move low-income neighborhoods off of gas advance 2 weeks ago:
Don’t know if you’re in California and poor, or not. I am. Gas is way cheaper. Don’t misunderstand me, I think things have to move in this direction, but unless it comes with a big subsidy (something along the lines of the heat pumps mentioned in the article), make no mistake, it’s fucking poor people.
- Comment on In California, plans to move low-income neighborhoods off of gas advance 2 weeks ago:
California has the 2nd highest electric rates in the country. Not sure why they want to fuck poor people even more. I’m for getting things clean, but this is treating a symptom and not the disease.
- Comment on Aging is fun 2 weeks ago:
But then I’m up 3-4 times during the night peeing.
- Comment on Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever 2 weeks ago:
Top comment on that page is perfect:
One wrote their own operating system incorporating others ideas on operating systems, the other’s mom bought theirs.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 3 weeks ago:
I’m often a dick. I probably wouldn’t say anything immediately, and then use that asinine opinion to dismiss anything else the person says later. Forever. They say something about <whatever topic>, “Yeah, but you also think vaccines kill people, so we already know you are an idiot.” Just on repeat on every opinion they voice, until they never want to say anything around me or talk to me.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 4 weeks ago:
“There weren’t any campaigns that had failed after they had achieved 3.5% participation during a peak event,” says Chenoweth – a phenomenon she has called the “3.5% rule”.
Me scatching my head thinking,“10% of Hong Kong protested and still got stomped by China’s boot.” I suppose it could be argued that it’s not the same thing.
- Comment on Front Brake Lights Could Drastically Diminish Road Accident Rates 5 weeks ago:
The couple of times they tried out roundabouts in my area, they didn’t last long because people were too stupid to figure out how to use them. So instead they just bitched until they were taken out.

I guess I’m obligated to go listen to War Pigs once again.

- Comment on Would racism in the USA still exist if humans had automated robots in the 1800s? 1 month ago:
Skin is just a lazy way of seeing “the other”. If we all, worldwide, collectively fucked our way to a uniform pigment, we would just find another way to define “the other”.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The link gives some arguments. It’s mostly stupid right wing claptrap.
Opponents of ranked-choice voting argue that it benefits voters with more time and information, leads to decreased voter confidence in elections, and disconnects voting from important issues and debates. Opponents of ranked-choice voting also argue that RCV winners do not necessarily represent the will of the voters.
It goes on to giving statements for those reasons from such respectable organizations as The Heritage Foundation, so do what you want with that.
- Comment on ‘My Property Tax Went From $15K to a Life-Altering $91K a Year’ 1 month ago:
I’m not who you replied to, but I didn’t, don’t, think property taxes in general go towards the federal budget.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Sleep test -> C(or V)PAP machine. I snored horribly before getting diagnosed with sleep apnea and using a CPAP, although especially annoying for a week or so, made a world of difference.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 1 month ago:
Dude just could have said something like,“Hey, I’m a developer of Plex and have really enjoyed my experience using it. Let me know if you’d like to see something added/fixed.”

For those of you who still remember your college calculus.
- Comment on Pakistan says India fired missiles at 3 air bases inside country. Pakistani retaliation underway 2 months ago:
They both seem to need to have the last word. Maybe they can agree to launch missiles at each other at the same time, and call it a tie.

“New”
- Comment on OMG no please don’t call me. 2 months ago:
I fucking hate people in general, and do all I can not to interact with people if I don’t have to. But if I have to talk to someone, I’d rather drive 20 minutes and talk face to face than deal with any type of phone or video interaction. That said, I’d much rather just have a quick chat or email to get the same thing done.
- Comment on CEOs when an AI agent ($5/hour) can't output the work of five highly qualified human workers (250$/hour) 2 months ago:
In my experience, most workers would do at least as good a job in upper management, but the reverse is not true at all.
- Comment on The Brits had an anthem ready for when Margaret Thatcher died. Americans should also be prepared. 2 months ago:
You worthless bitch
You fickle shit
You will spit on me
You will make me spit
And when the Judas howl, arise
And like the Jesus Jews, you epitomize
I’ll still be here as strong as you
And I’ll walk away in spite of you -bauhaus (Crowds)
- Comment on To whom it may concern 2 months ago:
It wasn’t too long ago that I did it. Maybe 8-10 years ago. I realized nothing I needed came in the mail, so I just stopped checking. At one point the postman literally just took all the junk mail and dumped it on my front step. I raised holy hell with the post office about littering, after jamming it all back into the outgoing mail. I think the way the postmaster did it, instead of dealing with my assholeness, was just setting my residence to unoccupied in or something along those lines. Spam, of all sorts (aside from Spam musubi) is just a fucking drag. Like all marketing and advertising.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 2 months ago:
Yeah, it got so bad I was worried I was going to rage on the delivery driver (for what it’s worth, I support the USPS and have not heard a legitimate argument about why it should be stopped. But fucking junk mail. I know it accounts for a chunk of their income, there has got to be a better way. Like making the price of every single piece of junk mail that is delivered to me is $10. Something. Cut out junk mail and only have delivery 4 days a week. Not consecutively.
But yeah, to get back to your question. I talked to the Postmaster at the local Post Office and they had me write and sign a piece of paper saying,“I DON’T WANT THIS SHIT NO MORE!”. The trouble it caused in my life was absolutely dwarfed by the positive of not having to deal with that shit anymore.
- Comment on To whom it may concern 2 months ago:
USPS got so pissed at me for just leaving my junk mail in the box. I told them over and over I didn’t need trash delivered to my place. In the end, I just stopped all USPS deliveries. I had nothing of importance coming in through the mail.
- Comment on California overtakes Japan to become fourth largest economy in world 2 months ago:
And we keep sending tax money to welfare red states that bitch about us. We also have this great economy, yet can’t seem to build a high speed train network no matter how much money we spend. In addition to a fucking ridiculous housing market crisis that could be addressed with some highly progressive tax structures on dwelling ownership. But, yay us, I guess. Our fast-food workers get at least $20 an hour. I’m not sure why a “liveable wage” is only important to fast-food workers, but they were also considered critical workers during the pandemic, and that minimum wage is still below where it should be, taking historical inflation into place.

That vehicle has already lasted longer, and been more useful, than any of the embarrassing new ones.

- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 2 months ago:
I enjoy Lemmy for the most part, but this popular narrative that you continue to correctly point out gets so tiring on here. The self-ownership, or self-sabotage by these self-righteous, elementary level critical thinking skills having, non-voters is sickening. If I didn’t vote, I wouldn’t take it as some moral victory against a fucked up system, I’d just accept my apathy.

I’ve been using this:

since YT started the “shorts” bullshit. Highly recommended if you are civilized person who is not OK with vertical videos.
