- Comment on Did "Party time! Excellent!" come from Wayne's World or Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure? Did one copy the other? 1 day ago:
I’m pretty sure “Party time! Excellent!” isn’t in Bill and Ted at all. It’s exclusively Wane’s World.
- Comment on topical 1 week ago:
All the Christians would hate him.
- Comment on topical 2 weeks ago:
I could probably count the things that weren’t mistakes on one hand.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 3 weeks ago:
Well he changed his name to a literally unpronounceable logo, so in that case there was no real other option.
- Comment on How long do you think we'll keep seeing "formerly Twitter"? 3 weeks ago:
In that case Comcast is still the company name. Xfinity is just the brand of the consumer services division.

- Comment on How do I tell Pennsylvania I no longer live there? 3 weeks ago:
Id expect this would be the place.
That’s as far as I got since I’m not in PA. - Comment on Why do cell phones have a data limit but home internet doesn't? 4 weeks ago:
They convinced the FCC cellular is different than landline, and should have different rules.
- Comment on Why hasn't Kamala Harris's record of keeping nonviolent offenders in prison, despite SCOTUS ruling, while California AG been brought up much this election? 4 weeks ago:
It’s literally the right community for any question.
- Comment on Why hasn't Kamala Harris's record of keeping nonviolent offenders in prison, despite SCOTUS ruling, while California AG been brought up much this election? 4 weeks ago:
Because her supporters don’t want her to look like a tough on crime ass hole.
And her haters want her to look like a soft on crime leftie.
So nobody has incentive to push that narrative.
- Comment on How do our brains process reality? I heard our eyes were just low-res cameras and our brains were doing all the heavy lifting in 'rendering' reality. 1 month ago:
People looking at a strobing light, start to see it as just “on” (not blinking anymore) at almost exactly 60Hz.
In double blind tests, pro gamers can’t reliably tell 90fps from 120.
There is however, an unconscious improvement to game reaction time, all the way up to 240fps. Maybe faster. - Comment on What can ActivityPub do that RSS can't? 2 months ago:
Basically RRS as you said, is a one way street. There is no feedback. Its not so much communication, but broadcasting.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
I would liken the Democrats to Megamind, and the Republicans to Hal Stewart.
- Comment on Should we consider Jesus a zombie? 2 months ago:
A point of debate for many Christians.
- Comment on Should we consider Jesus a zombie? 2 months ago:
Classic Vodo zombies weren’t mindless eaters of brains.
They were fully cognizant people raised to carry out someone’s will.
That could apply.

The comma separates the figures, from the costumes.
- Comment on Robert Picardo is joining the cast of Academy 3 months ago:
You had my curiosity.
Now you have my attention. - Comment on What is a stupid question? 3 months ago:
What about now?
- Comment on What is a stupid question? 3 months ago:
I’ve often wondered, and occasionally asked people:
Is this question, as I’m asking now with this sentance, a stupid question?

No
- Comment on If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore? 4 months ago:
Rents will probably go up […] and what’s left won’t be enough to save for any kind of down deposit.
It’s the same capitalism we have now.
Whatever it does to home and rent prices, as well as inflation generally, would be temporary until the markets adjusts. That can be softened by slowly phasing it in, maybe $100/m each year. The standard supply, demand, price balancing act at play. This time with the income floor not being at $0.
- Comment on If everyone is fired by AI, who's going to buy the products and services made by the companies if no one has money anymore? 4 months ago:
It’s the same capitalism we have now; Accept the bottom income level, isn’t zero anymore.
Who would be in what Cast?
Where do you draw the lines? - Comment on Why is the US not considered a third world country? 4 months ago:
Several reasons.
- The US is largely responsible for defining what 1st, 2nd, and 3rd World countries are.
- It has the largest economy in the world.
(I think? That may have gone to China by now. Not sure. But it was true recently.) - Even with everything you said being true. It’s still the wealthiest country in the world, by a large margin. Epically when you compare incomes, lifestyles, and infrastructure to actual 3rd world countries. It’s not even close.

I’ve heard people say a UBI is easy to exploit before.
But I don’t see how.If everyone gets the same payment, with the only qualifiers being citizenship and age; How can it be exploited?
- Comment on How my family got to Star Trek 4 months ago:
It would fall under rule 3 I’d think.
“Never spend more for an acquisition than you have to.” - Comment on Why haven't we figured out monetisation for peertube? 4 months ago:
I’m not sure what your talking about.
None of the major Fediverse projects have real monetization.
Why single out PeerTube?
Why would you expect monetization at this point?
Do you think it should be monetized, or are you just surprised it hasn’t been?
What form of monetization are you imagining?
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
The simple answer is: Because they aren’t same people.
It’s unlikely you’ll to find a single individual complaining about both of those tings. Some individuals that will complain about one, and other individuals will complain about the other. You’ll then even have 3rd subgroup who will complain about any minority actor in a lead roll at all; But that’s a different complaint than the two you’re talking about. - Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 8 months ago:
Until their users found out.

Even an audit is really just someone else saying “trust me bro”. You have some level of trust.
- Comment on We are in Brave's search results! 8 months ago:
My confidence is inversely proportional to any evidence you have to the contrary.
