Unless there’s some Tourette syndrome going on I don’t see why anyone should have to tolerate hateful speech.

Saying it out loud you’d have to reduce it, right? But my real problem with the message is how do you know when to sell the bitcoin?
- Comment on In arr stack how to pick indexers? 3 days ago:
I started by picking a lot of indexers, trying to cover my bases, but every search would take forever because it sifts through every match to find the best one for your criteria. In the end I pared it down to just to just a couple big ones that even I’ve heard of and it’s been fine 98% of the time.
I’ve always heard the private indexers are best, but I don’t have experience with them.
- Comment on Discord Users Threaten Exodus Over Age Verification Face Scan Controversy 3 weeks ago:
I assume it’s UK/EU’s expanding social media laws that are driving this, in addition to Discord’s imminent Initial Public Offering coming in March. They’re trying to clean house to show how profitable they can be, the same way Reddit created their walled garden by restricting third-party connections prior to their IPO.
It’s bog-standard enshittification to please the shareholders.

Are they still good? How long do VHS tapes last?
- Comment on Bovino: "Think about it just for a second - what the rape of a child entails" 1 month ago:
I can buy that, I suppose. As press conference material, though? Maybe my bias against him is showing.
- Comment on Bovino: "Think about it just for a second - what the rape of a child entails" 1 month ago:
What context could possibly justify asking people to imagine what raping a child is like?
- Comment on [Episode] Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End Season 2 • Sousou no Frieren 2nd Season - Episode 1 discussion 1 month ago:
I thought the same thing! I just knew they were going to have to go back in, but I was apparently focused on the wrong details
- Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 1 month ago:
My first thought was a gun, that’s pretty American, and if you show them how American you are they are less likely to want to try to arrest you
- Comment on How do you feel about the removal of tokens from arcades ? 2 months ago:
I’m with you, I love arcades but I just wish I didn’t have to buy SpaceBucks (tokens, credits, chips) in order to play. Oh, Capitalism, is there nothing you can’t enshittify?
- Comment on Trumpers are *still* scheming to overturn the 2020 election 2 months ago:
When you start applying logic to these situations they have a tendency to unravel, don’t they?

See what ass-eating culture hath wrought?
- Comment on No it won’t 2 months ago:
I think plasma should just be one of the commonly accepted Christmas decorations, you know? Quit fucking around with those other, lamer states of matter and just give the people what they want.
- Comment on Is there a uBlock Origin filter or extension for LLM slop in search results 2 months ago:
Maybe it’s just my algorithm but I don’t think I’ve been presented any slop videos. Surely not long videos, right?

Walking backward is just walking negatively forward by another name
- Comment on Is it true that one of the reasons VHS beat Betamax was porn? 2 months ago:
I don’t think they posted on Lemmy to get search results
- Comment on Billionaires are extremists 3 months ago:
This is why online discourse is so hard! Beyond the anonymity, which causes its own problems, the absence of nonverbal cues and lack of immediacy in feedback leaves a lot open to interpretation, so anything can be taken in any way.
Opinions become accusations and idle musings become absolute certainty in the vacuum of supporting information that is text-only communication. I worry that the only real solution is for people to–like you–embrace the uncertainty and gracefully admit that their interpretation could be wrong. And it seems likely that the only way to collectively get to that point is to fuck it up a lot for a long time.
- Comment on People who rely on their phones/computers to tell time probably forgot or didn't realize that a Daylight Saving Time-Change even happened, some might've forgotten that DST existed at all. 3 months ago:
Yeah, the US and Europe do DST a couple weeks apart, presumably because of latitude differences but it could also be spite, I guess.
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 3 months ago:
Can you believe they lip synched on live TV!? What fraudsters!
- Comment on Trump Directive Classifies “Anti-Capitalism” and “Anti-American” Views as Domestic Terrorism 4 months ago:
I think capitalism is pretty terrible for bringing us atrocities like the slave trade. I think Christianity is pretty terrible for encouraging children to not ask questions. And I think America has done a pretty shit job of protecting what little reputation remained to us over this last year.
So come and get me, I guess.

Just to make sure I’m understanding you correctly, you’re talking about an exchange like this?
Person 1: It sure is hot today.
Person 2: I know, right?Thinking about some other conversational ways to respond, I think saying, “It sure is, isn’t it?” or, “Don’t I know it!” feel pretty similar. I wonder what it is that makes us ask rhetorical questions like that.
- Comment on 4 months ago:
I’ve been looking into this recently because The Algorithm wanted me to (I don’t always do what The Algorithm wants, but sometimes it’s really fucking spot-on so maybe I’m just institutionalized) and I simply don’t see why this is really any different from anything else available.
Is it really that much better? Is it the same thing just with better execution? As we’ve seen time and again, popular doesn’t always mean good.
- Comment on Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago 4 months ago:
Knowing very little about the national guard in particular, I would argue that the standards are there but the enforcement isn’t.
In the Navy, at least, physical training was never a serious priority except for more specialized commands. The standards were identical, but the commands where PT was emphasized were the only places where a majority of people were fit. There’s way more to it than just standards.
- Comment on Being a noob in heist games 5 months ago:
They’re adding multiplayer, actually. Lots of fun to be had when everything can be destroyed. The workshop mods introduce a lot of new weapons, levels, and vehicles, too.
- Comment on What is the best advice you've ever been given? 5 months ago:
One of my instructors while I was learning how to shoot said, “Just remember: keep breathing.”
I think he was just talking about overcoming my literal tendency to hold my breath while shooting, but man I thought about that one a lot over the years.

In that case maybe the single chopstick was the first utensil…? I feel like a two-pronged stick would be ridiculed at first, much the way heliocentrism was. Imagine being the Copernicus of stick technology, lol
