- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 1 week ago:
IIRC, the religion didn’t get anywhere is Palestine after Jesus supposedly died and it wasn’t until decades later that it picked up in and around Greece thanks to Paul, but no one was around that saw any of the events attributed to Jesus - it was all heresay.
I mean the bible is how many pages and how much of it actually takes place during Jesus’s life? And what is the timespan of the small part that does? Like a year? And the 4 gospels that talk about it are all rehashings of the same stories (more or less) and even contradict each other at times.
That’s a story with a lot of gaps and plot holes to base a belief system around - and that doesn’t even include all the baggage and hate that comes along with it.
People nowadays lose their mind and make death threats to the creators of stories that don’t fix or create new plot holes in canon. And we’re supposed to smile, nod, and happily accept one of the worst constructed stories ever just because some old white men that live the opposite way they tell us to live say so?
- Comment on Trump pledges to scrap offshore wind projects on ‘day one’ of presidency 1 month ago:
Fossil fuel companies don’t like renewables for 2 main reasons:
- They haven’t successfully lobbied for enough anti-competitive fees to be placed on them yet that makes it too cost-prohibitive to support
- They haven’t successfully attained a monopoly over production by purchasing the leaders in the industry so that they still receive all the profits

- Comment on Phones have unique phone numbers, why dont computers have unique computer-numbers? 1 month ago:
Except you can spoof an IP address or get another one from the ISP just by asking. You can spoof a MAC address too.
Intel introduced unique processor id’s back in the late 90s.

- Comment on ByteDance prefers TikTok shutdown in US if legal options fail, sources say 2 months ago:
Republicans talk of a completely free market where monopolies are free to flouish. Democrats talk of a free market with regulations to spur competition and keep the consumer safe - like from being sold only rotten meat unless they pay top dollar.
Unfortunately the American gov’t is now just a revolving door of C-level execs to plunder tax dollars for the bottom line and to fuck over they very same people generating the labor and paying the taxes.
- Comment on TikTok's CEO is feeling the pressure and users are freaking out 2 months ago:
There are a million startups chomping at the bit to create or have their existing app become the TikTok replacement in the event it does get banned.
This is the nature of American Capitalism. A monopolistic entity is broken up for this reason or that thereby making way for competition. According to all those economists, competition is good and breeds innovation.
I don’t have a problem with this. Next go for Google, Meta, Apple, and Microsoft too.

- Comment on Israeli tourists attack vigil in Cusco in support of Palestine : Peoples Dispatch 2 months ago:
Childish and pathetic. Who the hell do they think they are? Could you imagine the absolute shitshow if Palestinian or even Syrian tourists attacked a pro-Israeli demonstration?
- Comment on Netanyahu aims to trap west into war across Middle East, warns Iranian diplomat 2 months ago:
Bibi is attacking everyone knowing full well he can force the hand of the West now that he sees everyone bending over backwards to defend Ukraine.
I mean if you’re already getting away scot-free with exterminating an entire race then what’s the harm in manipulating others to pick up the tab and get the blood on their hands while you call the shots exterminating a few more? In true authoritarian fashion go all in and lay those cards on the table you sassy boy, you. Playing it safe don’t get you land.

Maybe once Israel’s stolen enough land, the IMF will lend Gaza that money and they can be in debt like other nations.
- Comment on Gun rights groups ask Supreme Court to strike down Illinois 'assault weapons' ban 3 months ago:
Any decisions made by the federal gov’t that conservatives don’t like should be sTaTeS rIGhtS to decide, but when states use their rights to decide for themselves what they want and conservatives don’t like it all of a sudden StaTeS RiGhTs don’t mean shit and they’re all about it being a decision for the federal gov’t.
Got it. Lol. So hypocritical.
- Comment on Mozilla Firefox is Working on a Tab Grouping Feature 3 months ago:
Shit I have so many tabs open. Bookmarking is essentially the same as closing them because I’ll never find them when I want them let alone remember I bookmarked them. Then I’ll head to a search engine to relentlessly try and remember the term I searched for in the first place but not see any visited links or the visited links were the non-helpful sites and the one I want is gone.
After all that I’ll just give up and some weeks later find the bookmark I was looking while looking for another non-related bookmark.

Who can bothered with silly driving when there are calls to make? They only bought a Tesla to have an electronic chauffeur. Even though it’s not supposed to be used for that.

- Comment on The average American shower 4 months ago:
Well you fuck off because I’m gonna get an AR-15 and shower with it. On one side I’ll have Punisher, thin blue line, and trump 2020 stickers and on the other “This Machine Kills Fascists”, Dark Brandon, and Pride stickers.

But those balls are super smooth now that all the hair was burned off.
- Comment on The average American shower 4 months ago:
That’s because this is an American woman’s shower. That’s a “personal protection” purse gun. If it were a man in that shower his manhood compensating modded fully auto AR-15 covered in Punisher, thin blue line, and trump 2020 stickers would be visible.
- Comment on This coffee shop uses AI to measure the productivity of their employees and the time spent in the shop per customer. Welcome to capitalist innovation. 4 months ago:
Who cares whether it’s old or new or middle school. Who cares whether it’s pattern recognition or an actual learning computer with thoughts and feelings?
It’s all a corporate masterbatory fantasy of executives right now that somehow their company’s OpenAI subscription is going to be the one to unlock the secrets of the universe and they can staff the company with animatrons that don’t need time to shit, piss, eat, talk, sit, stand, sleep, take breaks, take vacations, learn, be trained, or have a family. They won’t strike, get paid, leave the company, go home, have to drive to work, require costly office space, say no, have a need for HR, or social interaction.
So now they throw this bullshit at everything but are too stupid to realize that woopdie-do you successfully got rid of the person that spent too much time on the phone, but your product still sucks and no one who works for you cares.

- Comment on Google Chrome Warning Issued For All Windows Users 4 months ago:
One time I uninstalled Edge and Cortana from Win10. Some time later Windows Updates started to fail and would rollback. This continued for 6 months and by that time I stopped giving a shit since Win10 is malware anyway.
Another few months went by and I was bored enough to follow the usually useless links to MS knowledge base articles that are given after a failed update.
After another week of trying everything I came across or could think of, I downloaded the install for Edge and reinstalled. Ran the Windows Update again and the god damned thing was successful. Apparently it contained an Edge-specific update but didn’t check if it was installed or not and fail gracefully if it was the latter.
