Also a fair point.

Fair point
- Comment on Work from home 19 hours ago:
It’s astonishing.
The capitalists know full well we’re more productive working remotely, but their need for control has proven to be stronger than their insatiable greed anyway.
- Comment on Born from the tragedy of gun violence, this program teaches children how to stop a wound from bleeding out | CNN 5 days ago:
As with bulletproof backpacks and multiple security doors in schools… another thing that shouldn’t exist in the first place, and it’s only necessary because dead kids aren’t enough for Americans to reconsider how convenient it is to kill people here.
- Comment on See New Images from Star Trek: Prodigy Season 2! 1 week ago:
This is gonna be so good. I loved the first season.
- Comment on This is going to set back medical trust for years 1 week ago:
Agreed. Handing over personal info is not unlike handing the wrong person a loaded gun.
- Comment on This is going to set back medical trust for years 1 week ago:
I dunno, man. Texas is a human rights violator through their prison system. I imagine it won’t be a picnic.
- Comment on 38% of webpages that existed in 2013 are no longer accessible a decade later 5 weeks ago:
Or on a server hanging out in a landfill.
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 1 month ago:
Partisanship is a hell of a drug.
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 1 month ago:
It’s almost scary to think of how bad it would have to get in order for voters to tick the boxes for Greens or Libertarians.
Like, how badly do these fuckers have to fail before you’re willing to shed your partisan jersey and vote to your own benefit?
- Comment on Texas power prices briefly soar 1,600% as a spring heat wave is expected to drive record demand for energy 1 month ago:
Correct.
Didn’t the state basically re-elect everyone who oversaw that shit show?
- Comment on Netflix Windows app is set to remove its downloads feature, while introducing ads 1 month ago:
Canceled mine.
Sailing the high seas works just fine.

Ooo, that’d be fun!
- Comment on Instagram and Facebook under EU investigation for causing child addiction and harm 1 month ago:
Hard downvote.
This is an institutional problem, not an individual one.
FB markets its platform as safe and respectful of security, but it’s exactly the opposite on both fronts and that is a proven fact. It’s deliberately addictive, has led to widespread radicalization and mental illness in its users, and steals people’s personal information.
It’s the digital equivalent of marketing cigarettes to kids, only more harmful.
FB absolutely needs to be investigated and held accountable.
- Comment on Instagram and Facebook under EU investigation for causing child addiction and harm 1 month ago:
That requires one to acknowledge there’s a problem and then summon the will to change it, which isn’t a hallmark of radicalism.
- Comment on Instagram and Facebook under EU investigation for causing child addiction and harm 1 month ago:
The US (well, at least our legislators) are getting paid a lot of money to look the other way, and couldn’t care less how children are affected.
- Comment on A literal depiction of how capitalism invades all aspects of life 1 month ago:
It also helps that they took out a huge litigation (read: rape) insurance policy.
- Comment on The cost-of-living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming homeless 1 month ago:
Going immediately ad hominem doesn’t do you any credit, nor does your unconditional support for neglecting your countrymen in the name of unchecked war.
- Comment on The cost-of-living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming homeless 1 month ago:
Your warmongering virtue has been noted. Thank you.
- Comment on The cost-of-living crisis is so bleak that some Gen Zers genuinely fear becoming homeless 1 month ago:
Homelessness jumped 12% last year alone.
This ia a very real threat, but don’t worry, Genocide Joe has his priorities in order and will make sure any money that might be used to help you stay housed goes instead to Israel and Ukraine.
- Comment on The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO 1 month ago:
IMHO also the pinnacle of LOTR-related video games.
- Comment on The RTS genre will never be mainstream unless you change it until it's 'no longer the kind of RTS that I want to play,' says Crate Entertainment CEO 1 month ago:
As far as I’m concerned, the genre peaked with Battle for Middle Earth II.
- Comment on Renters need to make roughly $20,000 more a year to afford the typical rent than they did 5 years ago 1 month ago:
This is the stuff I think of whenever someone says “America is the land of the free”.
We’re really not. We’re the land of working paycheck-to-paycheck. It’s been eight years since we learned that 40,000,000 people can’t afford a sudden $400 expense.
It’s a shame. This is what’s going to get a legit fascist elected in November.
- Comment on 54% of young Americans say food costs are the biggest strain on their finances 1 month ago:
My monthly grocery bill doubled between 2020 and 2024. As you’re all aware, wages haven’t changed much at all for most of the country, so the massive increases in rent and grocery bills are going to be a huge problem for the incumbents this election season.
- Comment on V Rising has launched out of Early Access! 1 month ago:
It looks so good!
- Comment on Amazon Customer Service has become awful 1 month ago:
I canceled my sub when they announced that paid Prime memberships would still have to view ads.
I use it exceedingly rarely now, thankfully, and without a sub you have to wait a week for something to arrive anyway, so I just expect it to be shit service.
- Comment on 85,000 Police Officers in the USA have been investigated or disciplined for misconduct over the past decade 1 month ago:
I mean, we tried.
Even burned some towns down a few years ago.
Protesting doesn’t work.
- Comment on Is Boeing in big trouble? World's largest aerospace firm faces 10 more whistleblowers after sudden death of two 1 month ago:
If we had a functioning government they’d already be bankrupt or in the hands of a legit oversight authority, rather than allowed to continue to run a blatantly corrupt and dangerous enterprise.
- Comment on USA: The Minimum Wage Should Be $24 per Hour Not $7.25 1 month ago:
You say “should” like we don’t keep electing all the politicians who don’t give a crap about wages.
- Comment on PSA: Do not approach the wildlife. 1 month ago:
True, but on the plus side, it does help cull stupidity from the species, so that’s a plus.
