There’s a reason an insane number of the people who publicly attack pedophillia are in fact pedophiles.

- Comment on They said the packaging would be discreet! 1 week ago:
Really still just sounds like you’re coming from a place of bigotry to me. I really think you will be a happier and healthier (and better person) if you learn to find joy in the things that are the same in other cultures rather than focusing on the things that are different. It is a picture of a silly sign making a silly joke about a common frustration in some bodies profession and all you can think about is how awful you think the people behind it are. The joke is not denigrating anybody, it is not othering anybody, the audience of the sign does not feel unsafe or threatened by it. You are finding issues with it because of the context. Because you have other issues with the culture displayed.
- Comment on They said the packaging would be discreet! 1 week ago:
So you agree, the only difference between the jokes is that one is high brow and well said, and the other is low brow and written on a sign at a truck stop. I don’t know how you can read what you wrote and not see that you obviously have a chip on your shoulder regarding the types of people associated with the setting rather than some intellectually honest issue with what’s in the picture. Just say “I can’t find this funny because I fucking hate blue collar Americans”
- Comment on They said the packaging would be discreet! 1 week ago:
Tongue in cheek threats are in fact funny to a tremendous number of people since time immemorial. I’m sorry you don’t approve of the way some people enjoy being silly.
- Comment on They said the packaging would be discreet! 1 week ago:
The ability to make a silly dumb joke about a minor occupational annoyance is a window into being able to laugh at yourself. Your inability to look at someone making a silly joke without making political condemnations about their character says more about you than about them.

ITS. A. JOKE.
- Comment on After 50 million miles, Waymos crash a lot less than human drivers 1 week ago:
Human drivers are unbelievably bad at driving, it’s only a matter of time, but call me when you can do it without just moving labor done by decently paid locals to labor done remotely in the third world.

Cyanide is legendarily fast acting. Among the fastest known poisons.
- Comment on What are some slow acting poisons? 1 week ago:
Thallium was pretty famous for this until its mechanism of toxicity and antidotes were better understood. Slow acting, tasteless, odorless, colorless, symptoms weird and mimic other things. Used to be used for rat poison but the risk of accidental exposure was too high. Requires late 1800s technology.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 4 weeks ago:
No, stop, let us have single player games, with 100-10000 players in an MMORPG you are suddenly diluted and weak, your ability to influence the world and be heroic and become powerful is suddenly dependent on competing for time investment and skill with 100s to 1000s of other people. THATS WHAT I ALREADY DO IN REAL LIFE. If I want to feel mid and not very powerful without putting in a ton of extra work, I’ll go outside. Especially when doing that extra work would actually allow me to spend EVEN LESS TIME on myself in the real world.

Less flash, more passionate people allowed to create. Shocker.

- Comment on Is there a way to watch DS9 whole skipping the prophet & pah wraith plotline 5 weeks ago:
I mean, yeah it’s possible to watch a show and only watch the “MOTW” style episodes that don’t deal with the central overarching plot. I wouldn’t recommend it in DS9 though.

Sorry, I didn’t mean it can’t be done, I did it plenty in the 90s/00s, I meant that the resulting image tends to be noticeably less sharp. But perhaps analog->digital converters got better?

- Comment on New thermoelectric generator converts vehicle exhaust heat into electricity, boosting fuel efficiency 1 month ago:
We already do this at every steam based power plant in the world (basically everything but hydro, PV, and wind) and it’s done much more efficiently. Doing this stuff with tiny gadgets on micro generators like ICE vehicles is a pretty inefficient implementation, especially as it adds weight to already heavy vehicles, decreasing efficiency and safety, and increasing tire and brake wear. The only place I can imagine this being useful is very heavy vehicles that for some reason still have to be using diesel like long haul trucks/busses, diesel freight trains etc and the like. And EVEN then you’re looking at major issues with economy. If you increase the weight of a truck by 2 percent to give it a 2% increase in fuel efficiency, you are hurting not helping. 2% comes off of your GCVWR margins and suddenly you need 51 trucks instead of 50 trucks to transport a given load, not only increasing your fuel use by 2% but also increasing vehicle maintenance and tire and brake pollution by 2%

- Comment on Brazil condemns US after deportees arrive handcuffed 2 months ago:
I uh, think they were talking about Brazil… Also it’s not exactly novel that governments care more about how other countries treat their citizens than they do about how they treat their citizens.
- Comment on Brazil condemns US after deportees arrive handcuffed 2 months ago:
That link seems to suggest they then immediately caved and are now doing the opposite. Also, why would it be right to not let your own citizens back into the country after they get sent home? What, they’re supposed to say we don’t want them just put them into ghettos I guess?
