• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And if anyone calls them out on it, they’re immediately branded as “pedophile sympathizers” if not actual pedophiles themselves. So, not only do they get to be violent monsters, saying that they shouldn’t commit horrible violence without any sort of legal oversight (or at all, really) makes YOU the bad guy!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t assume anything that happens with Tesla stock actually has anything to do with the value of the company. It was WILDLY overvalued for a long time and now it’s going to be complete chaos for a lot of obvious reasons. One day it may bounce up considerably only to crash hard the day after.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨IRS braces for $500bn drop in revenue as taxpayers skip filings in wake of DOGE cuts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can’t wait for everyone who talks shit about President Musk to get audited. It wasn’t their plan but this is absolutely going to be a trap to catch people who resist the nazi takeover.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I live in a small town in Alaska, more than 300 miles from the nearest decently sized city. It’s been more than two years since I’ve given Amazon a single dime. You’ll manage if you care enough to try.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You just listed things that you can pick up at any number of local stores. That stupid convenience of ordering crap instead of just adding it to the shopping list is why people think going a week without using Amazon will “disrupt the system.” This is exactly the problem.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you guys really rely on Amazon so much that one week without feels like a protest? Seriously?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Asteroid’s chances of hitting Earth in 2032 just got higher – but don’t panic⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  By the time it gets here? How about right now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah because they were showing such restraint before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I cannot tell you a way my life has genuinely gotten better since the advent of "smart" phones.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sucks to be you, bro, but that’s not a universal experience.

  I grew up when cell phones weren’t common, then flip phones were the thing. I didn’t get my first smartphone until I was already out of high school. My life was improved immensely. Not just the connection that allows me multiple vectors of communication to the people who matter to me, and the ability to plausibly ignore communications from those who don’t, but the absolute plethora of utilities now at my fingertips.

  Do you even know how to balance a checkbook? Have you ever had to do it? In less than a minute I can see not only my bank balance, but all transactions going back months.

  My teachers all told me I wouldn’t have a calculator with me all the time. Turns out that was not to be.

  If I need to know something, anything, ever, I have a device on my person that allows me immediate access to the sum total of human knowledge. Whether it’s a question of what time the hardware store opens, how to fix a cracked pipe, or what rocket fuel the Saturn V used, the information is right at my fingertips.

  I don’t ever have to be lost again. First time in a city? I can get directions to anywhere, from anywhere, any time I want.

  I even have a freakin flashlight at all times.

  Yeah, it sucks that some people get stuck in a narcissistic spiral on facebook or obsessively doomscroll to the detriment of their own health, but that’s not the smartphone’s fault any more than it is just the invention of electricity’s fault.

  So to be clear we don’t want a president with obvious mental decline issues? I wanna be sure we’re on the same page here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This is one of those cases just begging for Jury Nullification.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘Do not pet’: Why are robot dogs patrolling Mar-A-Lago?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Because time travellers keep appearing with guns?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨M4 Mac Mini Power Button Has New Bottom Location⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll still NEED a power cable, it just won’t COME with one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Russian court fines Google $20,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  And the fact that Google didn’t pay them more money than exists in the world will be why Russia blocks Google’s operations in the country and seizes every bit of property they can get their hands on that they say was even vaguely related to Google’s operations. They didn’t even bother with a realistic number, because in the end they don’t really care who does or doesn’t believe them.

  Actual clown shit.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Researchers find solar panels increase city temperatures and wind speeds⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure nobody is going to use THIS is bad faith. What could go wrong?

  At the same time, these larger temperature swings result in higher wind speeds and potentially greater pollution.

  The greater pollution they’re talking about is:

  Also, greater pollution is possible due to the higher temperature differential between the ground, rooftop, and sky above that mixes smog, dust, and other pollutants into the air.

  Pollution that already exists, just possibly spread around a little more.

  I also didn’t see anything about their assumptions about solar panel-less roofs. Going to be pretty big differences if they’re assuming the Un-paneled roofs are all painted white, vs black, for instance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Archons doubles the chaos of Vampire Survivors by giving you two characters to control at once⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay but “The chaos” wasn’t what made Vampire Survivors so good, and having to control two characters in “double the chaos” just sounds like a headache.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 42 year old new hire at your job confesses to you that he has had 48 different jobs in his life. What is your opinion on that?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My opinion is only that I’m not going to get attached, guy’s probably not going to be here long. That’s all.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Elon Musk’s greatest personal achievement has been his tireless work and incredible effort toward disproving the myth of Billionaire Exceptionalism.
