- Comment on Would I get banned here for being over active? I got banned from reddit because they thought I was a bot. And don't want to repeat the same mistake here. Thank you ahead of time. 3 months ago:
We can have this talk if you ever pass Kolanaki’s comment total
- Comment on How might a public flogging of an authoritarian ruler in 2024 impact the world? 8 months ago:
Besides the immediate threat of mass rioting and an armed resistance no matter who you’re flogging, public torture as entertainment is a very, very bad precedent to set, and only serves to build up a culture of antipathy. Imagine how the wider justice system would change once that’s normalized.
- Comment on I'm at a roulette table. I only bet on red. When I lose I triple my bet, when I win I restart. Is this a roulette strategy? 9 months ago:
Congratulations, you’ve invented the Martingale betting system and are well on your way to becoming an adept probability theorist
The short answer is that casinos account for this by changing the profit returns and the odds of making a profit at all so that catastrophic losses are much more likely
- Comment on Why would I want to use the multi-desktop functionality in Windows 11? 11 months ago:
Nitpick: the proper term is “virtual desktop” or “workspace”, as “desktop environment” is already a common term for the software composing the entire user interface.
I enjoy using this feature on any operating system since it lets me quickly scan through and declutter open windows, and place categories of windows in their own workspaces. I might have only productivity windows on one, and leisure and socials on another. It’s especially effective if you learn the keyboard shortcuts for navigating inside and between workspaces. All this improves my productivity and keeps distractions away.
- Comment on Snot rocketing is gross... but if you don't have tissues, what are you going to do? 11 months ago:
Every time I sneeze I redirect all the air into a cough. If I actually need my sinuses cleared (e.g., at the end of a cold germ) I just blow my nose. Am I in the minority?

Try hanging out in philosophy-focused spaces, some of them are pretty close to the “civil discussions on hard topics with moderation good enough to toss out manipulators and build everyone else up” sweet spot I’m always searching for

- any organization found to be using human meat in their product would be massively and permanently screwed, except maybe north korea
- human meat is a bad choice economically because farm animals have centuries of selective breeding behind them to make them ideal for consumption (pretty horrible but that’s how it’s worked out) and humans put all kinds of toxic stuff in their bodies which makes eating any human a gamble
- I don’t eat veal so my risk of eating a person by accident is further diminished
- Comment on Why not just let people use opioids? It's cheap. People like it. Arguably healthier than weed, alcohol or tobacco. Addiction isn't an issue if you can stay supplied. 1 year ago:
Check this fella’s post history. Pretty sure this is a serial baitposter
