- Comment on why isn't anyone calling for Trump to drop out. 4 months ago:
How do I blacklist the word Trump so that I don’t see posts like this in my feed?
- Comment on Sex work would probably be less stigmatized in a currencyless society 4 months ago:
It really depends on the culture of the area, but yeah overall it’d probably be less stigmatized on average. It would certainly be stigmatized though—some people forget that many people consider sexual acts in general (that others can see, like posting pictures on the Internet, porn work, etc.) wrong in the first place. A lot of people online don’t interact with these people a lot—not necessarily because they ‘don’t touch grass’ but because these are often the people who chose not to be active in social media. When you consider that they see a woman posting a steamy picture of herself online as wrong, it makes sense why.
Many people have grown up with a very conservative (sexuality wise, at least) mindset, and that’s just the way they were taught to see things.
I think that because of that, it’s not unlikely that a large portion of people would still see person doing these things, even if not for monetary gain, as “sluts” or something similar.
- Comment on TikTok sues the US government over ban 6 months ago:
Important rights of businesses in the US constitution include
Important note regarding a business’s right to regulate free speech: The rules of the Constitution are meant to regulate Congress, not businesses or citizens. Therefore, the right to free speech means Congress cannot restrict someone from speaking his or her mind, but a business may be able to.
For example, a radio show has the right to not allow a certain person to speak on its program or to say certain things. Ultimately, such issues are decided by the Supreme Court, and there may be some exceptions, depending on the circumstances.
- Comment on How rental ‘libraries of things’ have become the new way to save money 6 months ago:
Our library in the last place we lived (Midwest of the US) let you take pans from their large collection of cake pans. It was actually really useful.
- Comment on Republicans are pulling out all the stops to reverse EV adoption 6 months ago:
The weird part is, when you actually talk to a Conservative irl, they don’t care about EVs. Sure they might not like them—they might even think they’re a Political scheme or whatever. But they at least understand that there are more important things happening. Politicians failure to represent their user base’s viewpoint in the US is always astounding.
- Comment on How come liberals dont hate conservatives the way conservatives hate liberals 6 months ago:
If I’m trying to actually be realistic and understand it rather than just insult people—I think this Is due to a lot of different things, but a large one is that conservatives see liberals as “the ones running the world”. They feel oppressed, and silenced, and therefore lash out. This builds overtime. Liberals do not see conservatives the same way.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
Because many people see it as political, or at least moral. And that means they want to “pick a side”
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
I forgot about Chromebooks—granted, I don’t really think of those as what I mean. I don’t generally think that “user friendly = restricted and less control”, though I’m sure others would disagree. I don’t think of Chromebooks as real mainstream Linux.
Oh, and the steam deck has done this I believe, though I don’t own one so I don’t know how restricted that is either.
- Comment on Windows 10 reaches 70% market share as Windows 11 keeps declining 6 months ago:
Recently built a new PC and clean installed Nobara Linux. It’s so much… Better. In every way, except for compatibility—and even that’s not close to as bad as people say it is. Granted, I had used mostly open source programs before (still quite disappointed that Playnite isn’t available on Linux, I do miss that) but I’m using mostly the same software. The pre-done compatibility fixes etc. that the Nobara team has done (huge props to them!) has made it far easier than i even expected. It really is getting to the point that I want a major laptop/PC manufacturer to ship with a polished, user friendly Linux distro, and get the ball rolling.
- Comment on If presidential immunity is absolute.. 6 months ago:
Wait, I’ve been out of the loop for a bit; is Trump actually saying that he should be immune to charges because he was the president??? How in the world could he think that would work?
- Comment on How often do you use the small pocket inside your jeans pocket (if you have it) ? and what for ? 6 months ago:
My biggest test for wireless earbuds is if the case is small enough to fit in that pocket. The usefulness of that is incredible, it’s like they’re not there.

- Comment on House Moves Toward Bundling TikTok Bill With Aid to Ukraine and Israel 6 months ago:
It’s insane that Americans still tolerate this.
A consistent viewpoint I see on America, is the assumption that if we don’t like a politician we can simply say so and they’re out of office. One of the biggest problems here is actually that most people feel lacking in their personal control on the government, even local. Everything is such a large scale, that ‘speaking up’ not only feels like it does nothing—it really does nothing, unless you’re famous or something. No one here is happy about how our government works, we just don’t have control over it. It’s an illusion of control, while the people at the top make the actual choices.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
Really cool article—though I really wish more articles like this included sources. Not that I necessarily don’t believe it or something, but things like this have scientific papers backing them up, and it makes me uncomfortable when they aren’t included
- Comment on Monthly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing? 6 months ago:

- Comment on Games that still need more patience: what games released a year ago (or older) are you waiting for a sale on? Or that need another patch? 6 months ago:
I’m still waiting for Cyberpunk to be cheap enough for me lol, I don’t get enough money to buy a game >$20
- Comment on YouTube’s ad blocker crackdown now includes third-party apps 6 months ago:
Personally, I don’t think a service is in the wrong for trying to protect against ad block, especially when their revenue comes from ads. However I also don’t think there’s anything wrong with adblockers continuing to innovate to circumvent that. I’m rooting for Ublock Origin lol

The spotlight-like search from Windows Power toys is far better, they should just make it the default

I have literally never separated my clothes, and I’ve never had anything get messed up.
- Comment on Microsoft complies with EU's DMA, allowing uninstalling of OneDrive, Edge, Bing, and more 8 months ago:
It’s sweet that you think the average person has an actual effect on the direction our government takes. The only way to get stuff done is mass protest, and we sure as hell aren’t getting people to protest deleting Edge when we have much, much bigger problems here atm.

- Comment on What would be a good glue to repair this spatula with that wont he toxic or come undone in a dishwasher? 8 months ago:
God this gives me PTSD of the similar spatulas my grandparents insist on getting for some reason XD a big reason I don’t skimp on quality kitchen supplies now. I recommend, if it’s available, anyone who wants good kitchen stuff that won’t break easy, try finding an Asian market of some kind with an appliance etc. section. The Korean market near me sells all type of great wooden spatulas, tongs, etc. and also stainless steel, for a great price. Way better than the overpriced trash at the big box stores.
