- Comment on Who knew genocide wasn't a winning strategy 19 hours ago:
Genocide is clearly a winning strategy. Trump won. Ukraine is dying.
- Comment on Peak Energy just shipped the US's first grid-scale sodium-ion battery 4 days ago:
Can we make them from desalination plants, in part? Or no? I don’t know the science for it.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 days ago:
There’s always a look to it. As long as you keep in mind that it can be wrong and adjust your view of people accordingly if corrected, it’s not super wrong to judge by appearances
- Comment on FBI uses facial recognition technology, online photos to identify and arrest ICE Portland protester 6 days ago:
Surely they will prosecute in a legal manner, surely the fascists will follow the law.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
Why do you think considering someone human is mutually exclusive with wishing death upon them/thinking it’s fine for them to die.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
Yes, it does. Because when you don’t acknowledge someone, you start pretending they shouldn’t have any rights at all, and then you can fall victim, far more easily, when they scapegoat someone, or fall victim to that hatred being redirected to an invalid target
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
Are you incapable of fighting someone you consider human?
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
Acknowledging and understanding they are human DOES NOT mean cowing down or bowing down to them.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
That tells a lot about you that you ever grouped yourself with those people in the first place.

My lord and savior anki. Use yomitan for extra power tooling it
- Comment on [VIDEO] Japan Sanctions Visa after the Censorship of Anime and Manga 1 week ago:
Let’s maybe not include a straight up oligarchy corpo state like south korea in that statement. Better than the usa? Maybe, but they’d even give that a run for the money, and just barely win out.
- Comment on North Korea and South Korea isn't working. Let's try West Korea and East Korea instead. 2 weeks ago:
if China can set an example and take a few steps elevating liberty,
Lol
- Comment on FCC dives in to sink Chinese grip on undersea internet cables 2 weeks ago:
ostensibly that’s the reason. And sometimes it actually is. But many are obtained through bribery and do not give any real benefits
- Comment on Gallium 2 weeks ago:
Because it’s funny as shit.

Aren’t they a charity?
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 weeks ago:
Classic example of calling someone an idiot just because they disagree with you on something that’s primarily about subjective values.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 weeks ago:
A hunting cabin is purely a luxury. There’s nothing authoritarian about having high taxes for luxuries, and no, blanket taxes on luxuries are not inherently authoritarian.
Sure, it could unfairly impact people, but since in this situation there’s no needs, only luxuries, the balance of how increased housing supply fairly easily balances the scale.
And no, the point of my original comment is to understand impact. Realize harms the law could create, and don’t do it blindly. But that’s just to understand what you’re putting on the scales.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 weeks ago:
Progressive taxes are not authoritarian in nature holy shit man.
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 3 weeks ago:
Genuinely, I’m saying this to bring up that it’s an ill effect that will come about. I don’t especially think an exception clause is reasonable, I believe they will just be abused, and it’s simply better to accept some level of negative consequences for the benefits.

They can barely split it because they’re all broke af not because the house is expensive. The house and land are pretty cheap
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 4 weeks ago:
No, it shouldn’t hold up societal progress. But not being aware of how your policies actually affect people is just plain bad. I agree with progressive taxes on multi house ownership, but you also need to understand that will mean people who are less rich than you think losing them, it’s not just people that can afford them
- Comment on Windows 11 has finally overtaken Windows 10 as the most used desktop OS 4 weeks ago:
Governments really should be shifting entirely to Linux. Reliance on corps not to corp is not good practice for a government
- Comment on Grandma is on her own 4 weeks ago:
My extended family in Michigan keeps a hunting cabin that they split costs between 5 people on and can still barely make the mortage… Is that clearly able to afford more taxes?
- Comment on Senators Introduce Bipartisan Bill to Guarantee Military Right to Repair Its Equipment 4 weeks ago:
I mean this genuinely is a good concept.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
Groceries don’t really get more expensive, because the methods for producing food don’t really get less efficient over time; if anything, it’s more efficient. So there’s no real reason for them to become more expensive.
There is reason though. Making them more expensive increases money in flow. Prices aren’t just based on supply
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 weeks ago:
If people who care about climate don’t have children, there will be less people who try to put laws in place the help the situation.

… Are sewers private in your area? Must suck man
- Comment on Breaking the generational barriers 4 weeks ago:
If it’s septic it’s whatever. Bigger issue if it’s not, then tax dollars are required to fix it, and it’s just wrecking infrastructure
- Comment on Study finds smartphone bans in Dutch schools improved focus 4 weeks ago:
It is absolutely relevant enough to be published publicly.
Yet you can already see people calling for phone bans…
Yes, because they should’ve been banned 10 years ago
- Comment on Moving away from physical currency has been very detrimental to the homeless industry 4 weeks ago:
Which is crazy, because those types wouldn’t live in a homeless shelter
