- Comment on Arizona ‘VPN’ searches surge amid Pornhub ban in state 1 day ago:
The key with a VPN is to buy long term. I got a black friday deal for Proton last year that comes out to two dollars and pennies a month.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 2 days ago:
It’s a manufactured famine, which is a war crime.
But try telling that to an Israel apologist.

IDF themselves designated for evacuation dozens of times
LOL, telling people to evacuate when there’s no real infrastructure to do so… does not absolve them for committing a genocide.
I could sail out to the middle of the ocean, put you on a rowboat, and tell you that you’re free to go “safely” and it’s still going to be my fault when your ass drowns.

why do you guys wear uniforms and operate openly and build military bases away from schools and hospitals
Two reasons: First, they actually have a military, generously funded by the US taxpayer. Second, you’re right, it’s so rude for Palestine to directly place their schools and hospitals in the path of
AmericanIsraeli bombs.See also: It’s your fault for putting your face in the way of my fist.

Totally.
Hamas should not have put their hospitals in the way of
AmericanIsraeli bombs. - Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 3 days ago:
Palestine doesn’t have an army, a navy, or an air force.
But, enjoy all the excuses you will undoubtedly see in this thread from
genocideIsraeli apologists.Hell, Palestinians can’t even go to a designated aid station for food without getting massacred by Israel.

- Comment on Ford CEO on his ‘epiphany’ after talking to his Gen Z factory workers: ‘They were saying [they] had to have three jobs’ | Fortune 1 week ago:
Reminds me of the old reality show ‘Undercover Boss’, and the whole premise of the show was CEO’s realizing how tough their workers’ lives were, and the people they interacted with got prizes in the form of gifts to demonstrate the CEO’s empathy and how caring they supposedly were.
Disgusting stuff.

Oh, there are also some helpful mods now.
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 1 week ago:
There is some difficulty, yes, but you can read the guides on Steam to get some help in mitigating that. I’ve died hundreds of times playing it, but some of them are legit funny, like the time I used a wand to summon a black hole, not considering that it might suck my wizard in too.
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 1 week ago:
I find it to be great fun.
- Comment on What Are Ya'll Playing? 1 week ago:
Finally playing Silent Hill 2, which is scary as heck. (Try playing it with the sound off and your controller vibration on for a bit.)
Still playing Noita a lot.
Also DMing weekly campaigns on Neverwinter Nights.

- Comment on Can you think of any now? 2 weeks ago:
Not sure it’s provable, really, but the idea for T-Rex having movement-based vision is (if I’m remembering correctly, forgive me as it’s been a while) something that came from the Jurassic Park story, and more specifically how frog vision works, since they used frog DNA to birth their dinosaurs.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 2 weeks ago:
I could be wrong, and if I am, it’s just an opportunity to learn a new thing.
Have a great day.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 2 weeks ago:
I can think of a few.
- That T-Rex’ vision was based on movement.
- Feathered dinosaurs are a thing.
- What we were taught as the ‘reservation’ system more closely resembled concentration camps, and indigenous people were given a choice between death marches and war. -That the US military was actually on the wrong side of nearly every civilian movement for greater rights, from suffrage, to labor, and now freedom of speech.

- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 2 weeks ago:
It’s true.
No one can time the market. If I opt to move into a money market at the end of the year, I’m likely giving up some short-term gain, but the flip side is that if this bubble does burst then I can buy back those shares at a massive discount.
It’s all a risk. Everyone has to evaluate the info we have and make the best choice according to their risk tolerance.
What really gives me the heebie jeebies are two things:
-The tremendous greed and valuation of so many of these companies, many of which haven’t delivered anything except bold promises. AI can do simple things well, but its output can’t be trusted without human validation, and that’s after training on all of the accumulated knowledge of humankind, which is why I tend to think that this bubble is eventually going to pop in dramatic fashion.
-The absolutely massive gains in the market over the past two years. My own retirement has had legitimate gains over the past two years that are above and beyond what ponzi schemes promise to deliver, and that’s simply unsustainable over the long term, so the question for me becomes when to take the profit and hold for a major event.
Anyway, that’s my reasoning around the choices I plan to make.
- Comment on 5 Signs the AI Bubble is About to Burst 2 weeks ago:
I’m actually planning to move my retirement into a money market because of the bubble and stock prices ballooning at a speed that just makes me anxious.
I’m waiting until the new year, though, so as not to miss dividends and because Christmas is coming, and with it, likely elevated spending in the US economy.
But I fully expect it to burst and think it’ll be uglier than 2000.
- Comment on Roblox, Discord sued after 15-year-old boy was allegedly groomed online before he died by suicide 3 weeks ago:
I don’t think screening is the answer, but with Roblox and Discord, the follow-up on reports of predators is lacking and should be punished severely by the courts. I don’t care if your profits go down a percentage point or two, you need to improve your product.
