- Comment on 'X' Marks xAI's Spot: xAI has acquired X in an all-stock transaction. The combination values xAI at $80 billion and X at $33 billion. 1 week ago:
I have seen 3 different posts and each had a different value for X. The number sends arbitrary. Who gives a shit what he paid for his own company.

Maybe I’m dumb, but I don’t get it.

People like getting money. You don’t say.

What’s wrong with green Mario?

That’s feels like an accurate description.

I’d pass even if they paid me $1k to use the phone.
- Comment on [Louis Rossmann] Brother turns heel & becomes anti-consumer printer company 4 weeks ago:
Funny you mention apps. I turned auto-update off for all of them on my phone because I got tired of functionality being removed. A couple force updates after you get too far behind. Been alright so far, but it’s been less than half a year ago we’ll see how it goes in the long run. Security is obviously taking a hit by doing this.

Accountability, what is that?
- Comment on The borders are just WIDE OPEN though!!11!! 5 weeks ago:
The problem, IMO, with criminals crossing the border is more about not knowing they are criminals. We don’t just check databases in other countries willy nilly, if they even let us. In some ways it’d be nice to have access to that information across the globe. On the other hand, it means if you ever get in that database you’re kinda fucked. Too many bad faith actors.
- Comment on Reddit co-founder says Meta’s end to third-party fact-checking is ‘very pragmatic’ 5 weeks ago:
It was so untenable that they kept it going for 4 years? Maybe if conservatives lied less they wouldn’t feel like it was targeting them. Classic case of overlooking the obvious conclusion.
And community notes is hardly a replacement. It sounds like it’s little more than a popularity contest. At best you’ll get notes on things that pretty much everyone already knows is false. Better than nothing, but not great. At worse, whoever has the loudest voice dictates “truth.”
- Comment on USAID Sent Millions to Ukraine in Secret Slush Funds, Investigators Found 5 weeks ago:
The secret slush fund that they documented items individually? Not sure they know what secret means.
That said, I do wonder what the purpose of these purchases is, if they are indeed accurate.
- Comment on ABC admits it should ‘never’ have argued Antoinette Lattouf had to prove existence of Lebanese race 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t think it’s a race. It’s a nationality, no?
- Comment on Mecha BREAK Open Beta Hits 317,000 Concurrent Players on Its First Day 5 weeks ago:
DRM is usually known for big games before they are released. You can find articles about how the DRM works online. If it’s a new type of DRM, they usually describe how it works.

- Comment on Nearly 50 percent of Britons favor supporting Ukraine over US 5 weeks ago:
I’m aware of what the number represents. I just find it surprising that anyone would want to side with someone as selfish as Trump. The man doesn’t know the meaning of loyalty. He’ll fuck you over the second you have something he wants.
- Comment on Nearly 50 percent of Britons favor supporting Ukraine over US 1 month ago:
That number is too low.

Honestly can’t tell if sarcasm.
- Comment on Roughly 75,000 federal employees agree to Trump’s buyout offer 1 month ago:
Nothing points to that, but OK.
That said, I have second hand knowledge, from my parents, that people who are federally employed but literally do nothing, actually exist. It was only one person out of everyone they worked with though.
- Comment on "A Certain Scientific Railgun" 4th Season Announced with New PV 1 month ago:
I never finished it. Didn’t feel worth it. Don’t think S4 is going to change that. S1 was the best and it’s been a slow downhill since then. But that’s just my opinion.

Gotta be a bitch if you have tinnitus though.
- Comment on DOGE begins purge of FEMA by firing officials in charge of finances 1 month ago:
That $59 million was spent on housing immigrants. Of which SOME of the money was for luxury hotels. I have not seen an actual amount specified.
- Comment on DOGE begins purge of FEMA by firing officials in charge of finances 1 month ago:
If you look deeper you’ll see it’s only a partial truth, like most things political. The individual pieces are truth, the whole is not.
- Comment on Trakt.tv has set stricter limits for free users and raised VIP subscription prices by 100%. 1 month ago:
Well, glad I never kept up with things on that site. I found TrackSeries more convenient.

Just what a growing boy needs.
- Comment on Uhmm.. WTF? 2 months ago:
I like that MC’s relatives all have beauty marks by their mouth and one more gets added for each new generation.
Also, second cousin might be creepy but is probably far enough removed to not matter much. Not sure where my cut off line would be. I don’t know all of my first cousins and I don’t think I’ve ever met any second cousins. It’s a bit more of a “would I even figure out if they are a second cousin” situation than anything else. I sure as hell wouldn’t be able to figure out any third cousins. I don’t know enough of my family history for that.
- Comment on Honey Lemon Soda - Episode 3 discussion 2 months ago:
I like the concept of the anime but everything just feels a bit too unrealistic. Even the eyes of all the girls are unrealistic. But the eye of all the guys look normal.

Can I get my time back? Not sure why I expected a non-biased article.
