On first look, no.
On second look, also no.

- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 3 weeks ago:
He is not.
A tariff is a tax that increases the price of imported goods.
Tariffs are used to push people toward domestic alternatives to imported goods.
However, today, there are no domestic alternatives to most important goods.
So, all it’s doing is increasing the burden on the average person.
Companies are not going to invest in domestic production. They are going to spend that money lobbying to have tarriffs removed. Because guess what? Once tariffs go away, consumer prices are not going to go back to what they used to be. Instead, megacorps are going to pocket the difference as profit.
- Comment on am i insane? 3 weeks ago:
That does sound like potential bipolar disorder.
Either way, there are medications that should be able to help with your symptoms.
Good luck!
- Comment on am i insane? 3 weeks ago:
It’s not true that you can’t be given a diagnosis.
It’s good that you’ll be speaking to a psychiatrist, because those could be signs of certain disorders. For example, you could have bipolar disorder.

- Comment on What exercises should i do at the gym to correct winged scapula and rounded shoulders? 4 weeks ago:
In addition to exercises, remember to focus on your posture when sitting, standing, and walking. Stronger muscles won’t help if your posture is still bad.

- Comment on Sadly, Athena toppled over on the moon. With a lunar eclipse coming shortly, why didn't they design in a secondary power source over solar? 1 month ago:
Yes, and eggs have weight.
So they couldn’t use eggs as a power supply.
Therefore, the only alternative was to rely entirely on solar.
- Comment on Questions about putting an lcd on my game boy color 1 month ago:
There aren’t. I’ve read up on it, it seems to work really well. And the firmware is upgradable, so they will probably release updates occasionally.
FPGA systems aren’t like software emulators. The hardware itself emulates the original circuits, so the cartridges think they’re talking to original hardware.
- Comment on Questions about putting an lcd on my game boy color 1 month ago:
Yes, that basically sums it up.
I haven’t handled one of those things myself, but they seem pretty excellent for total Game Boy replacements.
Depending on how much work you want to put in fixing up your old console, it might be worth considering one of those.
For example, you’ll want to replace all the OEM capacitors on your old motherboard. Even if the system works now, a modern screen will put a greater strain on the power circuit. So if the 30-year-old capacitors don’t get replaced, they could quickly start to fail.
Also, laminated screens need a full shell replacement.
So, including the capacitors, you’re talking about around $65 in parts.
If you’re comfortable working on small electronics, it makes sense to pay the $65. But if you’re not, the $99 becomes more appealing.
- Comment on Questions about putting an lcd on my game boy color 1 month ago:
Most kits ship with screens that are a multiple of the original Game Boy resolution. So the displays aren’t distorted.
Look up Funnyplaying. They make some of the best kits on the market, I’ve used several of them myself.

You have a table with five Nazis.

So… maps?
- Comment on What’s an acceptable gender neutral replacement for “techbro”? 1 month ago:
By their nature, techbros are exclusionary toward women/other genders.
So, no gender-neutral term is necessary.
- Comment on What is the number one reason why we do not have peace on earth like on other planets? 1 month ago:
Well, for one thing, Earth has people, and as far as we know every other planet doesn’t.
- Comment on Is it OK for a baby's head to be rolled all the way back on its neck? 1 month ago:
What you need to do is take a sharp knife, remove the head, then stitch it back on in place more snuggly.
- Comment on Can I Just Reinstall F-Droid? 1 month ago:
Go into Android app settings, find F-droid, and clear all data + cache. That will reset the F-droid config.
If it’s a config error, clearing app data should get it to start again, and it’ll still see the apps you have installed.
If that does NOT fix the problem, the problem is probably the app itself, and not the configuration. Manually download and install a previous version of F-droid, and turn off auto update.

- Comment on If a mysterious force secretly changed EVERY clock worldwide one minute forward, how long would it take until people notice, and how would people/governments react? 2 months ago:
Since we’re speaking in pure hypotheticals here:
I would just go back and fix the clocks. Every single one of them.
- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 2 months ago:
Speaking as someone who did similar:
You will never be able to make him understand why you’re cutting off contact. You may not see that now. Spork knows, I didn’t for a few years. But it’s true, if you try to explain he will simply try to debate or he’ll push you off as immature.
To save your own sanity, all you can do is cut ties completely.
Other people here may offer differing advice. Some of them haven’t been through this situation, so they can’t know the torment you’re going through.
I can only speak from my experience.
Cutting them off was the best thing I did for my mental health. Cutting them off was not easy. I still think of them sometimes, of what might have been. But I’m comfortable with my decision, I’m confident I made the right one. Through plenty of evidence-based psychology, I now understand the reasons.
Getting back to your first question: sometimes, it’s good to be selfish for the right reasons. Maintaining your own health and well-being? That’s the right reason.
Your father’s desire to hurt people is far more selfish than making him discuss something. But if you make him discuss it, he will only act threatened and refuse to see your point of view.
You will only begin to heal once you cut him out of your life. I don’t say that lightly.
Again, if someone hasn’t lived through a situation like this and had to make the same hard decisions, they can’t understand. So don’t be afraid of the naysayers.

- Comment on Regarding a US Government Shutdown: What's stopping Musk from continuing to fund DOGE with his own money and continuing to tear apart the government while all the federal workers are put on leave? 2 months ago:
Sadly, they are hoping for a violent revolt from the people, because that means they can call the military in to murder civilians
- Comment on Regarding a US Government Shutdown: What's stopping Musk from continuing to fund DOGE with his own money and continuing to tear apart the government while all the federal workers are put on leave? 2 months ago:
That’s something. By which I mean it’s not nothing.
- Comment on Regarding a US Government Shutdown: What's stopping Musk from continuing to fund DOGE with his own money and continuing to tear apart the government while all the federal workers are put on leave? 2 months ago:
The problem is, there are no good options.
The coup perpetrators aren’t doing it for federal money (at the moment), and they would be happy to have more of the money not be spent.
At the same time, Democrats can’t see idly and do nothing.
