- Comment on Threads spotted exploring ads, but says 'no immediate timeline' toward monetization 2 months ago:
It’s an awareness thing. Everyone uses it because everyone else uses it, because it’s the main one people know about, because Meta has unlimited money to market it and scale it, which are exorbitantly expensive.

He only uses it once a week though, so just catch him after his weekly kill

Hey get a load of this guy, can’t even expose one lousy US war crime. He’s basically complicit
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 5 months ago:
You’re forgetting one important thing - Bezos needs more money! Line must go up. Always. At any cost.
- Comment on Prime Video subs will soon see ads for Amazon products when they hit pause 5 months ago:
I was a long time subscriber as well, but canceled right before Christmas 2022. I missed it for about a week and then I realized most things I “needed immediately” from Amazon I could either 1) drive across town to purchase from brick and mortar or 2) actually just wait for it.
The end result has been me buying less things I don’t need, and buying the things I do need from local retailers (and of course big box stores), or ordering them from other online retailers since the shipping is comparable to Amazon.
2 years in and I don’t miss it at all, will never go back. I do want to watch the Fallout series though.
- Comment on How does South Park get away with trashing identifiable people? Are they sued often? 6 months ago:
If it’s all stuff he really does in real life, how could he sue over it? If it’s factual, you can’t sue. Well you could but you’d lose because South Parks lawyers would say “show me what we said that wasn’t true”
If it’s its fictional and they clearly state at the beginning of the episode that it’s fictional and you should not assume it’s true, it’s going to be really hard to convince a judge that they were trying to trick people into thinking something was true.

Sorry to hear that. Can I interest you in some Taylor Swift gossip or the latest news story about what Elon pooped out of his mouth this morning?

- Comment on Tesla driver who killed 2 people while using autopilot must pay $23,000 in restitution without having to serve any jail time 10 months ago:
Solely? No. But if the airbag, seatbelt, or self-driving autopilot feature that they created contributed to someone’s death, they are partially responsible and should face consequences or punishments. Especially if they market it as a safe.

May I ask what expertise you have on this that makes you know more than doctors and psychologists who use the term intrusive thoughts, and specifically use that term to diagnose people with mental illness or neuro-divergence? Or are you just pontificating to feel smarter than everyone else? We don’t need a new word for something everyone (except you) clearly already understands and uses properly.

I think a good term for what you defined in your edit might be “intrusive thoughts”

- Comment on Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia 1 year ago:
Wikipedia as an organization does this?? News to me so I’d love a source on that. I would not be surprised if people that work at Wikipedia donate to charitable causes or speak out about social issues, but that’s a very different thing called free speech
- Comment on Elon Musk Offers to Also Ruin Wikipedia 1 year ago:
The first one that Google literally highlights, if you click it, it says that verbal contracts are binding but purchases of goods over $500 is an exception.
If you’re not talking about the first search result, maybe link to an actual source instead of the search results.

By making the free version worse, aka making the paid version more valuable

- Pay $0 to use a product from a business that is losing money
- Business makes a policy change to try to convince you their product is worth paying for, but still let’s you use a version of it for FREE
- Wow this company sucks, I’ve given them nothing and they’re taking everything away
In a capitalist society you speak with your money. It’s the only language businesses speak. If you’re not giving a company any money they’re not going to cater their product to you, plain and simple.
- Comment on If number of undiagnosed neurodivergent people proves to be significant potion, neurotypical means just people who won the standards war of communication protocol 1 year ago:
And in a way there is no “normal” to begin with. No one describes or thinks of themselves as “normal” when asked. Everyone in some way or another wishes they could just be Normal. “Normal” is what everyone else is, but not who any one specific person is - it’s generally unachievable in a literal sense.
