You really want me to care about your convinces when you don’t care about the ecosystem?
- Comment on Why is coal and fossil fuels still used? 9 hours ago:
Guess we better just ship fertilizers instead of tvs and phones.
Also, there are concepts for sailing cargo vessels
Also, we could make nuclear cargo vessels.
Saying we have to use bunker fuel to maintain our current life style or that we need to maintain current life style is just a lack of creativity and buys into the dogshit status quo that capitalism has trained into you. We’ve know about climate change for over a hundred years and every time anyone suggests doing anything about it, the cudgel of “whAT aBout tHe eCoNOmy!” gets brought up. I don’t care anymore. I don’t care about your pretty little life style. I don’t care about your 401k plan. I just don’t care.

Good. I want less consumerism. I know it will effect me, but I already do my best to minimize my impact. Hearing the whines up materialistic shits will only make it better.

Ships can use sail.
Also, we don’t really need this much consumption.
- Comment on Nintendo Updates Its User Agreement To Crack Down On Emulation 1 day ago:
Half disagree. They’ve taken a lot of risks in the past with designs that other companies wouldn’t have. Things that didn’t always pan out well and become the butts of jokes.
But yes, they’ve been a litigious company with ties to the Yakuza that people frequently forget as well.

So if I never buy a Nintendo product, I’m fine to emulate? Got it

Being a professional athlete is terrible for long term health, but for different reasons. Sometimes there’s overlap like joint health though.

Disagree. It’s a fun, self contain movie. The mechanical animations in the intro were done Hideaki Anno.
- Comment on What are some good examples of "Where the fuck do you go" kind of games? 1 week ago:
Halo 1 was never difficult with Cortana telling you were to go and the waypoint on screen. Assault on the Control/Two Betrayals has arrows on the hallway floors and I never got turned around in The Library.
If you really want labyrinth level design from Bungie, the Marathon series is were it’s at and completely explains why there’s so much hand holding in Halo CE.
- Comment on Wikipedia sources their information better than most journalists do in their articles. 1 week ago:
They should be teaching kids how to use Wikipedia properly rather then banning it out right. Use it like a search engine and follow the cited sources for real research. Check the authors of the cited sources for any bias. Check the edit history if something seems suspicious.

- Comment on Apex Legends writer gets laid off 24 hours after the character she wrote is revealed, because that's what the games industry in 2025 looks like 1 week ago:
While I feel sorry for her as a worker, I do not feel sorry for her as a writer.
Live Service writing for AAA studios has got to be the most disposable form of fiction. I can find old short stories from magazines that closed close to a century ago, but I can’t play the Destiny series from start to finish today?

There are a lot of reasons to not like Thatcher that have nothing to do with her being a woman.
- Comment on Future apocalypse movies won't have survivors scavaging abandoned cars. 1 week ago:
I rigged up fuel lines so my small diesel generator can run off the heating oil tank. I have about 100 days of nonstop power. If shit looked really bad though, I’d be rationing that fuel on a 50/50 duty cycle or so to keep the fridge chilling while I use power for other things.

Diesel lasts longer then a year. If you can get a commune going, you can grow diesel fuel from seed oil, but only with older diesel. Not that you’d want to direct too much food resources to transportation, but if you have enough farm land, diesel tractors are much more common then electric and easier to work on.
You can also run modified gas engines to run off of Wood Gas and wood could be scavenged from most places. Probably the best option for any fast scouting operations, although you would need to let the system idle. The start up process takes some time.

collect batteries and add it to the solar/battery bank back at base.

- Comment on DRM-Free OnlyFans Downloads See Widevine Project Nuked From GitHub 2 weeks ago:
Is this a pirating tool or a tool for downloading local copies of what you did pay for? I know Fansly has weird settings where you lose access to stuff you paid for if you change your tier or need to lapse your membership for a bit. I stopped paying anyone when the archiving tool I used stopped working.

Wasn’t that a reference to Thatcher? Not women in general.

Money and connections.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 2 weeks ago:
oh, I was never locked in the apple ecosystem. I genuinely liked the OS for a very long time, but avoided owning music on iTunes, using their office suite or owning any iOS device. I was already using linux full time on an ebay Macbook Pro while my desktop was a hackintosh. Dropping support for 32bit apps was the final straw.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 2 weeks ago:
You’d have a point, except in the case of Operating Systems, one of the reasons I bailed on Mac was the reduction in customization of the desktop. They kept removing the colors in favor of a safe for business grayscale.
In the case of trucks, I’d rather have the same grill be used for 20 years so I can cheaply get a replacement from the junkyard if I need one. I’m so frustrated by the commercial options, I’m building a light duty 80’s C10 for my daily. Easy to work on, easy to fix, parts are cheap.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 2 weeks ago:
It’s an excuse to keep your product in the news/review cycle. You can’t just create a useful product and leave it at that. You have to constantly change shit so people are constantly talking about it. Why do you think iPhone keep switching between rounded and square edges? It’s not because one style is better then the other. It’s so reviewers have something to talk about. It’s why commercial OSes keep getting features no one asked for. It’s why car and truck bodies keep changing even though body lines have no effect on driveability.

You’ve summed up every aspect of the Tesla. Especially now that real car companies are taking EVs seriously.
