- Comment on Cyberpunk 2 is now in preproduction, CD Projekt says 2 months ago:
I don’t know how you one-up the first game.
They could release a complete game that’s playable, with the content they claimed would be in it, for starters.
I mean, honestly, the bar for this sequel to one up its predecessor is pretty low.

I dunno what AI is, do you mean A1 Jesus crowd?

Keep it.
- Comment on YSK that if you lose your Social Security Card (USA) more than 10 times, the Social Security Administration will have to, by law, refuse to issue anymore replacement cards, for the rest of your life. 5 months ago:
I have my paper one in a safety deposit box, with my original birth certificate. I carry around a useless laminated copy for normal BS.
And yes, I say useless laminated, because for some dumb fucking reason, the US issues paper social security cards, and cannot be used officially if you do so. No government agency will accept it, because they expect a piece of paper to last 70+ years like dumb fucks.
- Comment on calibre 8.0 5 months ago:
I’ve been using calibre with my kobo for years. There’s a remote server you can set up, but I just haven’t been bothered to set it up since my kobo has about 100 books I haven’t read yet.
- Comment on Tesla investor calls for Elon Musk to step down as boss 5 months ago:
The one thing I’m getting from this statement from a large tesla investor saying that tesla is in chaos, is that it’s gonna cause even more investors to pull out. You don’t want a major shareholder saying the company you’re both invested in is in chaos.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 5 months ago:
Reddit isn’t government.
- Comment on Brother denies using firmware updates to brick printers with third-party ink 5 months ago:
Just saying brother’s ink or toner is first party instantly makes it sound like other brands are inferior.
No, it doesn’t. Saying third party just means not manufactured by first party, first party being printer manufacturer.
Would you not buy Baldurs Gate 3 cause it’s a third party game? Would you not buy Call of Duty because it’s a third party game? Do you pay more for gas at ExxonMobil, because Costco sells third party gas for cheaper?
You buy third party all the time. Saying third party sounds bad is just stupid.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 5 months ago:
If you’re stupid, yes. If you have half a brain, it’s not.
If you play in the MLB and take steroids, you get suspended, and if you keep taking steroids, you get a lifetime suspension. Steroids aren’t illegal. That’s not censorship. It’s breaking the rules and facing the consequences of breaking the rules.
If you’re stupid and think facing consequences for breaking a rule you agreed to is censorship, that’s on you for being stupid.

Going against an agreement you agreed to abide by is not censorship. If you don’t like the agreement, don’t agree to it.
- Comment on dear republicans, what's the point of alienating every single ally of the US? 5 months ago:
You underestimate how grossly unqualified everyone at the top is in the US. Anyone who’s even remotely qualified to lead the military is being replaced with sycophants. The US has never been weaker, which is exacerbated by the fact that any allies that could provide warnings of an attack, just won’t. Since our intelligence agencies have been neutering any early warning systems set in place, we will not see it coming, or worse, ignore it, because like the parable, an extremely incompetent group of leadership thinks it’s too big to fail, when in reality, wouldn’t take a huge enemy to win.

You have no clue what David v Goliath means, do you.
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 5 months ago:
No. Nothing reddit is doing is illegal. When you sign up for a service like reddit, there is a TOS, which allows them to ban, warn, limit interaction, etc, at their discretion when terms of their TOS are violated.
If their TOS doesn’t allow pictures of butterflies, and you post pictures of butterflies, you will receive a warning. Continue posting butterflies, you’ll get banned, until eventually receiving a permaban. There is absolutely nothing illegal about it, because their TOS specifically states no butterfly pictures.
- Comment on Is it OK for a baby's head to be rolled all the way back on its neck? 5 months ago:
First thing you should do is find a young priest, and an old priest.
- Comment on YSK in the U.S., you can buy produce directly from black farmers and they will ship it to you. It can cost less than your supermarket and will piss off people in power. 6 months ago:
I got one cause of how my friend put it to me when she told me to get one. She asked me “if you get shit on your hand, are you just gonna wipe it off with a paper towel and go about your day, or are you gonna wash your hands? Now when you take a crap, why are you just smearing it around instead of washing it?” And it stuck with me and I’ve bought bidets from then on out. A 12 pack of TP lasts me a year, and I only use it to dry my ass. It’s the best thing in the world.
I laughed at friends and family during covid, cause I had a nice clean ass, and everyone else was fighting for toilet paper.

I would guess it would mildly annoy people in power, but TBH this isn’t a way to save money. If it really was, it would be common practice already.
Bidets are a cheaper, well known, better way to clean your asshole after taking a shit, yet the common practice of Americans is still to choose to smear their own shit around their asshole with dry disposable paper cloths.
The flaw in your argument is that you think people, Americans at that, wouldn’t ignorantly continue to pay more for the convenience of not having to think where to buy their produce, because they can get it from the local Walmart 15 minutes away, instead of saving $20+ and driving 2 more minutes.
Americans are notoriously lazy and stupid, as evidenced this past November.
