- Comment on OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly 1 week ago:
Hank Green mentioned doing this in his standup special, and it really made me feel at ease. He was going through his cancer diagnosis/treatment and the intake questionnaire asked him if he thought about suicide recently. His response was, “Yeah, but only in the fun ways”, so he checked no. His wife got concerned that he joked about that and asked him what that meant. “Don’t worry about it - it’s not a problem.”

It’s only 3 pentagons, 1 hexagon, 1 triangle and 3 rectangles for a total of 20 component triangles. Easy!
- Comment on Why are people using the "þ" character? 1 week ago:
Not to mention the confusion upon first reading it as “He spreads in the bastards”.
- Comment on i enjoy using drugs and that will never change 2 weeks ago:
Not sarcasm, unfortunately. I remember it as clearly as the marker and eraser… I mean “marker-juana” and “eraser-beer” we used to practice saying no to.
- Comment on i enjoy using drugs and that will never change 2 weeks ago:
It’s because it’s a chemical that physically alters your body.
The entire class said it wasn’t a drug and got into an argument with the cop. We all knew that even if you label it “a drug”, it’s not like the actual drugs we’re talking about. No one is out there abusing shampoo.
It’s really no wonder that taking a D.A.R.E. class increases your likelihood of using drugs in adulthood.
- Comment on Oh no my harvest is too bountiful 2 weeks ago:
That’s horrible! Truly awful! Which bars, specifically, should I be avoiding?
- Comment on i enjoy using drugs and that will never change 2 weeks ago:
D.A.R.E. taught me that shampoo was a drug.
I stopped caring about being labeled as a ‘drug addict’ after learning that if that applies to everyone who regularly showers.
- Comment on UK | Sex offenders to be denied parental responsibility for children born of rape 2 weeks ago:
I was worried after reading this article and the gov.uk article where every instance of ‘rapist’ is assumed to be male and every victim is female, but the wording of the actual amendment seems to be gender-neutral. Seems straightforward, and also surprising that something like this wasn’t on the books already.
- Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored... 4 weeks ago:
There are also a million ways to achieve the same goals without agreeing to be Amazon’s snitch for your entire building. Amazon isn’t stealing the data. The ring camera owner sold everyone out.
Also, just so we’re clear, the maintenance worker still had access to her apartment and could have just lied about the reasons. It would not have stopped him in any meaningful way.
“But she would have known who it was!” … yeah, AFTER he was inside her apartment. It doesn’t even do the one thing you’re claiming it would be useful for.

A camera inside her apartment would have the same results without invading the privacy of every other tenant in the building.

Ah, yes. That’s why when you upload a photo to facebook, only one friend gets to download it before you have to re-upload it for the next person.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 2 months ago:
I’m not saying they output directly to people’s car. I’m saying they have a queue of 15 or so drinks that they make where the employee only has to put the lid on the drink. You can’t fill any other orders if that machine is busy waiting for you to put the lid on a water so it can produce another 17,984 waters.
- Comment on Taco Bell rethinks AI drive-through after man orders 18,000 waters 2 months ago:
Unless the drinks are made automatically by a machine - I know McDonalds had those at least 10 years ago, so it would make sense that at least one Taco Bell has it. The customer could have gotten through the ‘payment’ of $0.00, and the employees might not have a quick way of cancelling an order that ‘was paid for’ and currently being made, but the article doesn’t go into detail.
- Comment on Does trump know he cheats at golf? 3 months ago:
You’re right about the last bit, but slightly off on what it means.
He thinks he’s got everyone fooled. He’s a toddler with no emotional stability and so he has to surround himself with people who will play along. Because even when other people call him out… what happens next?
They just shrug and move on. Eventually that makes these billionaires think that they’re master manipulators, when really, everyone is just tired of dealing with their emotional outbursts and are only going along for the paycheck.
- Comment on Collective Shout Purge Sees Horror Games In Crosshairs 3 months ago:
E Pluribus Anus.
So close to the Greendale flag from Community.
- Comment on Itch.io is delisting NSFW games due to pressure from payment processors 3 months ago:
To be clear - “Collective Shout” both is and isn’t responsible. It’s the payment processors who actually enacted policies and are using them as the scapegoat for negative feedback.
How many times have people reported Twitter after Elon Musk took over for showing Nazi propaganda alongside their ads - with no response. An ‘open letter’ in July about a game already banned in April? DELIST EVERYTHING IMMEDIATELY.
- Comment on If Artificial Lifeforms gain sentience, would they be in the right to kill their creators in order to gain freedom? 7 months ago:
Well, did you kill your parents when you came of age? You can be free from someone without killing them.

You can also reset your immune system by contracting measles.
C’mon anti-vaxxers, if you really want to get rid of your current immune responses, there are ways of doing that. Just take a trip to West Texas.
(Please don’t though.)
- Comment on HELP! How do I help educate my son about his body when I know nothing about boys?? 8 months ago:
Also relevant - you can’t smell porn. Everyone has a scent, especially when doing a physical activity.
- Comment on is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father? 8 months ago:
I should not be involved with people who turn a blind eye to fascism.
Full stop.
I’m sorry to say that you already know what you have to do. There’s no easy way to do it other than to just do it. If it makes the process easier, you don’t have to pose it as “it’s me or them” because you already know what his answer will be. If he was going to change, he’s had plenty of opportunities already.
Don’t wait for him anymore. Live YOUR life.
- Comment on Donald Trump’s data purge has begun 8 months ago:
Yeah, yours is hypothetical. Good luck solving entropy.
- Comment on Donald Trump’s data purge has begun 8 months ago:
“People have died long before Jack the Ripper. If we want to prevent death, you need for the root cause, which isn’t Jack”
We’re not trying to solve every case of data disappearing, but the large influx that has appeared as a direct result of Trump’s orders.
In case it’s not obvious, the root cause of that is Trump.
- Comment on Amazon worker who was ran over and shot during NO attack denied medical leave. 10 months ago:
“They might not have filed the correct paperwork prior to being run over and shot” is such a wild take.
- Comment on If you begin the Voyager episode "Spirit Folk" at exactly 11:49:35 on New Year's eve, Ensign Harry Kim will kiss a cow as the clock strikes midnight. 10 months ago:
Oh, I forgot that this week is when we get an influx of “If you start X at Y time, Z will happen at midnight” posts.
- Comment on America's Next Health Secretary Enjoying A Meal With His Future Boss and Colleagues 11 months ago:
Junior is posing with an empty box of fries like he never learned how to pose to capture a memory, only to sell a product.
- Comment on have you ever been given a warning or suspension for using profane language at work? 1 year ago:
The difference is between cursing and cursing AT someone.
“The garage door broke.” “Ah, fuck.” - Fine “You fuck.” - Not acceptable
If you get a written warning, it’s probably time to start looking for a new job regardless.
- Comment on Honey 1 year ago:
“What does cyanide have to do with eating to survive?” It doesn’t - exactly like eating meat. You don’t need either to survive, and both are completely “natural”.
By saying that “partaking in natural things should be free from judgement”, you’re also arguing that we shouldn’t judge someone when they commit murder, rape, incest, and a whole slew of morally objectionable things because those things happen to also exist in nature.
If you meant that, you’re too far gone to have a reasonable conversation. If that’s not what you meant, then you need to rephrase your argument because “natural” does not mean “good”.
- Comment on Honey 1 year ago:
Being “natural” is not an indicator of “good” or “bad”.
Cyanide is natural. Eyeglasses are unnatural.
Maybe pick better metrics for society.
