- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 1 day ago:
Decent buds are as good as earplugs where I work. I seldom crank the volume. If I’m on my tractor no one is around or I don’t use anything. It’s a quiet little 25 horse diesel so that’s not bad. I’m a musician and very protective of my ears, but thanks for the concern.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 2 days ago:
I like the sound of what’s going on around me. I enjoy catching little snippets of random conversations, the birds singing, the exhaust notes of passing vehicles. I prefer to be aware of my surroundings instead of insulting myself from them. At home, I’m very literally in the woods, and occasionally feral hogs may cross my path, but they make a lot of noise. When I’m in town the variety of sounds is novel and entertaining to me.
I wear earbuds at work, or if I’m running my tractor or lawnmower. I do drive, but I don’t always have the radio playing in my car. Sometimes quiet is just nice.
- Comment on When Xfinity has an outage, I don’t pay for those days. The government’s been shut down for 39 days so can I pay 39 days less in taxes? 3 days ago:
The fuck does that even mean? I’d like my taxes to pay for healthcare and education, at yeah food and housing for folks that need. I don’t mind spending my money or my time on worthwhile things.
Border control is horseshit, the war on drugs was lost before it even started, and bailing out companies that made bad, selfish decisions is stupid and benefits me not at all. Blowing up other countries, likewise, does not a goddamn thing for me.
A government isn’t supposed to save money, it’s supposed to spend it, but it should be spent well, in ways that benefit the people it serves. I’m not a tankie, but I ain’t no shitlib centrist either.

Psh, we don’t do anything but kill brown people with that money, well, and pay for Trump to golf.

Ya otter shut up if you really don’t have anything to add to the conversation.
- Comment on Chavs are a British mythical creature that only snobs are scared of 6 days ago:
Fair enough. The racism isn’t a necessary component to being a redneck but it is fairly prevalent. Rednecks don’t outgrow it typically either. Thanks for the straight reply.

Eh, we could do with a few less of the yacht class.

This needs to happen.

Hey, ignorant Yank here, and I’d like some clarification. Is chav the bri’ish version of redneck?

I thought it was George Burns.

I just build on Veroboard.
- Comment on With how shitty some Christians are, you really have to wonder if Lucifer or Satan is truly "evil" 1 week ago:
Lucifer was just unionizing the angels. God is just the first union buster and ran a smear campaign against the organizer.

Pizza dough cooks with its toppings. Toast it bread that it cooked a second time.

Ok, boss
- Comment on The answer to the question posed in mobile game ads 'think you can do better?' is always 'yes'. 2 weeks ago:
That’s how they get you to download it. They show it being played absolutely terribly and the 4th or 5th time you see thead and the obvious mistakes and you’re like I’ll show you how to fucking do it, and you download it and it’s fucking Farmville dressed different and the ad was only showing a sidegame you get to access exactly once.

That’s just a casino. You could just buy one of those.

I’d love to let money have a chance to change me, though I do identify as a hedonist and a silly man of poor character.

I love using the new slang. It makes my kid turn red, which I find hilarious.

The only reason people voted for Trump was to hurt queers and brown people.
- Comment on Don't fix the problem just change the parameters 2 weeks ago:
Clock reading was covered in kindergarten and cursive writing taught in 1st grade. These were some of the first wrinkles pushed into our little growing brains in the early 80s by school. That these things are no longer being taught so early explains why so many people are willing to immediately accept the Google AI overview as gospel and are wearing Crocs everywhere they go.

Why the fuck would your notes be any of the teacher’s business?
- Comment on The history of soup 2 weeks ago:
Empanadas is one I might disappoint you on. I frequently cheat and use plain old pie crust, sometimes homemade, but often store bought. Once built, I chill them to not quite frozen and fry them in my fish fryer. Baked empanadas are just hand pies, by my reckoning.

It is, but they used to be NB.
