- Comment on How do I deal with a very negative inner voice/second conscience that's constantly loud? It's like I have two different people in my head but they're both me, telling me opposite things endlessly. 3 days ago:
I’m going to tell you what I did. Don’t take mental health advice from some asshole in the internet.
I had two extra voices in my head. One would wait for me to be alone, and then bring up all the minutia in my life I was embarrassed about. The other would bring up my most depressing moments and just groan in my ear and distract me.
The first one I built a cabin for, and put him in it. Whenever I would think about one of those embarrassing moments, I’d put it in a plastic garbage bag, open the door to the cabin, and throw the bag as hard as I could into his face. Gradually I needed him less and less. Eventually he disappeared, so I just put the garbage bags in a can outside the door. Nobody lives there now, and the cabin has decayed into just a rough mound of dirt. The flowers from the window-box are growing in the mound.
I was more viscous with the other one. Every time he showed up, I imagined grabbing him by the neck and just pummeling his face bruised and bloody. Eventually he disappeared too.
I can remember those embarrassing moments or the causes of my depression without hurt now. They don’t have power over me anymore.

I fucking hate Microsoft search. Microsoft controls the OS, they control the file system, why the fuck do they suck so bad at file search?

Not when the lab and the hospital are owned by the same company. Promedica (local hospital) sent my sample to Promedica (lab) and I got a bill from the lab. Because Promedica (lab) didn’t have my insurance information.
- Comment on Even in space it's possible to get hit by a self-driving Tesla. 3 weeks ago:
I would argue that one is driving much better than one in self-driving mode, because it can remain on course.

- Comment on Cold Callers phoning during work hours and then not accepting your at work and can't spend 30 mins listening to their script. 1 month ago:
They don’t necessarily want sales, they want call numbers. These poor dipshits sit next to a phone with an auto-dialer and just talk to whoever is on the line. They probably get paid by the number of calls they can make in an hour.

If you don’t dabble in Switch modding or anything like that, then you have absolutely nothing to worry about…
I shouldn’t be worried that Nintendo can remotely brick my $500 console. For any reason. Or accidentally.

- Comment on Why Homeowners Choose Heat Batteries Over Heat Pumps; Those wanting a green replacement for boilers often consider heat pumps — but heat batteries are another carbon-free option that also store energy 3 months ago:
Is this really “green” though? Heat pumps are efficient because they’re transferring some heat energy from one place to another. Heat pumps don’t generate all the heat internally. This just seems like saving money by using more electricity when it’s cheaper

- Comment on ‘Bear with me,’ Trump says as both farmers and consumers brace for tariff effects 4 months ago:
Yeah, it’s sarcasm. One reason there wasn’t a depression during COVID was the stimulus checks that went straight to consumers. Turns out that when you give money to people that need it, they inject it directly into the economy by buying stuff they need. There’s nothing a corporation can do that’s as effective as that.

How about we give ALL the money to corporations to expand employment, with no checks or penalties?
