- Comment on Is thinly-veiled political whinging really a question just because you used a question mark? 2 days ago:
No, fuck no. It’s so annoying and I’ve been wanting to call it out, but technically that wouldn’t be answering the question.
- Comment on How do I stop laughing at stupid shit all the time 4 days ago:
It’s the moments they don’t laugh that are truly the most outrageous

- Comment on How much of my sleep debt do I need to pay off? 2 weeks ago:
That’s an apt analogy. I was just thinkin this is loss.
- Comment on How much of my sleep debt do I need to pay off? 2 weeks ago:
So what we’re really talking about here is not sleep debt, but rather, sleep loss.

- Comment on Can harmless viruses be engineered to deliver vaccine payloads for different actually harmful viruses? 2 months ago:
That’s what you call a viral vector. Apparently the Sputnik V vaccine for COVID used this approach.

Perhaps a better question is why aren’t more people shunned. There are some good answers already, but I’ll throw in another reason that seems to come up sometimes.
The US is highly polarized on a lot of issues. If one can frame their shunning as one of those wedge issues, they can probably get enough people to rally around them that they escape accountability.
“I’m being deplatformed because of racism against white people!”
“We have freedom of speech in this country, so if you take everything in the Constitution absolutely literally like I do, it’s obvious I should be able to spew whatever bullshit I want. You don’t hate the Constitution and the founding fathers, do you?”

Are there any instances of a 3rd party making digital copies of games available and paying some licensing fee back to the copyright holders? Something akin to how book libraries handle ebooks?

This would mean that there was more uranium around millions and billions of years in the past so why isn’t there any evidence of prehistoric nukes in the fossil record
- Comment on Intuit possibly succumbs to the Streisand effect 3 months ago:
As another comment said, I also dropped everything and read the article. So yeah I guess that’d mean Streisand effect is coming into play.
Regarding the topic at hand: I don’t care what these companies say at this point. The fact is that in the past, I have used their services, clicked the “free” button, did some things, and then ended up having to pay them money.
Until the day comes that I get a letter in the mail from the government saying, “Here’s how much you paid in taxes, if you’re cool with that then please disregard”, I will not be satisfied.

Klan.
I don’t care the intent or the season or the laws or the lulz. You wear a white fucking sheet to a polling place in a southern state, it looks like the fucking Klan. Fuck them.

- Comment on What do allergies feel like for you? 4 months ago:
As far as I know, I have 2 main allergies: pollen and metals (some metals, not sure which exactly).
Pollen
- It feels like my nose is a leaky faucet. It will run and run and I’ll have sneezing fits for hours. If I blow my nose, it makes the inside feel super-dry and itchy, which just kicks off more running and sneezing. So it basically feels pointless to blow my nose at all, and I usually settle for sniffling instead. But if I do that too much, I start getting mini-sinus headaches.
- Flare-ups. Sometimes I’ll see the plants that trigger it and I’ll start sneezing within 10-20 minutes. Other times I’ll go outside and it’ll start out of nowhere. It’ll last for hours.
- Meds do not seem to help at all. Maybe they shorten what would be a 6-hour episode into a 3-hour episode but who tf knows. I have yet to find anything that kicks in faster than a couple hours after use.
Metals
- I break out in a highly localized rash. It’s red, bumpy, and itches like mosquito bites.
- Flare-ups after prolonged contact (several hours) with a metal. It’ll last anywhere from a couple hours to a couple days.
- No meds. It’s pretty easy to ignore when it flares up, and it’s easy enough to avoid exposure.

- Comment on I'm listening to a motivational speaker at a corporate conference when I realize... 4 months ago:
To me, this says that your workplace has acknowledged and accepted that the way they do business is leading to burnout, at least for some people. But rather than using that as evidence that their business practices need to change, they’ve instead opted to individualize the problem. Our growth projections aren’t unreasonably ambitious, you just need to do more deep breathing.
It’s like how I’m told to take a vacation to relax, only to return to the same (or an even larger) pile of to-dos that I left behind.

Me, looking for technical writing jobs after writing a highly fucking technical dissertation: I have a PhD but I’m pretty burned out on being a try-hard so I’m just looking for a straightforward 9-to-5.
Them: We’re worried you’ll be bored.
Me: Anyone would get bored doing this, at least I’ll be good at it.
Them: No.
