Oh there wasn’t any doubt on my part that he knew about it, just that he may or may not have “participated”. Now I’m quite certain.
- Comment on Epstein died by suicide, did not have 'client list': govt memo 1 week ago:
You know, when Elon said Trump was on the list, I figured there was about an 85-90% chance that was true. Like, given all the photos of Trump and Epstein together, I found it a very plausible claim, but I was also quite aware that Elon is a ketamine addicted narcissist and pathological bullshitter, so I figured there was at least some chance he was pulling it out of his ass just to fuck with Trump.
Now, however, I am 100% certain that list exists/existed, and that Trump is/was on it. Unfortunately, chances are good we’ll now never have proof.

- Comment on How do you safely film a group of masked armed men while they are in the process of committing a crime, without them knowing that you are recording? [USA] 1 week ago:
fair enough, goes to show the gaps in my knowledge – but after seeing one guy desperately trying to crawl away with his legs blown off before being blown up by a second drone, I decided that was all the Ukraine footage I needed to see.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but: has anyone in Ukraine actually tried a shotgun?
I generally try to avoid watching anything that’ll scar my psyche, but, as far as I’m aware soldiers in the field don’t usually carry shotguns, but rifles, in the anticipation of dealing with enemies wearing body armor/at some distance. And hitting a moving drone with a rifle, yes absolutely that’d be a bitch – one projectile is not enough, especially for a moving target.
Police (and I’m assuming ICE as well), generally dealing with people not equipped with body armor, tend to keep a shotgun handy for a multitude of reasons (breaching doors, not overpenetrating through walls, etc), and skeet shooting is already a thing (though admittedly it would still be harder if the drone was moving erratically).
All this is to say: I don’t know anything for a fact, because I’ve tried to avoid watching anything that’ll scar me, but has anyone in Ukraine on either side had access to a shotgun or two before getting turned into gibs? because I can absolutely believe that soldiers with rifles would fail to shoot a drone, but I wouldn’t be so quick to discount a couple people with shotguns unless that’s already a solution the Russians tried before the cope cages.

That sounds like a fine way to have your (presumably expensive) drone carrying your (presumably also expensive) camera hit with buckshot.
I’m not saying don’t try anyways. But there’s a good chance the gestapo just starts blastin’.

ah, so now instead of China spying on TikTok users, it will be Russia spying on TikTok users.

“no guys it’s totally not an echo chamber, we just ban and/or relentlessly attempt to troll anyone with a differing opinion than ours!”
I’d say it’s an impressive level of cognitive dissonance, but then, you’d already have to be to believe China is a socialist utopia.

- Comment on Google is launching Offerwall, A new tool for publishers /websites to paywall their content. 3 weeks ago:
a paywall I am sure will be exactly as effective as google’s attempts at ad-blocking on YouTube, for exactly the same reason: a dedicated group of pissed off nerds who spend their time getting around it as a service to everyons. Bypass Paywalls Clean is already a thing.
- Comment on How do I use Firefox and block YouTube ads? 3 weeks ago:
uBlock Origin probably just needs its filter lists updated, you can update them by opening the extension, hitting the gears icon, clicking on the “filter lists” tab at the top and selecting update next to any that are outdated.
Personally, I use the nuclear option because fuck google – I have AdNauseam (which includes uBlock Origin), SponsorBlock, PopUpOFF, DeArrow, Return Youtube Dislike, and CanvasBlocker.

you apparently missed the word “net” in my comment. It does show downvotes on my app/instance. Ergo, his posts are still reaching people just fine, because again he has several hundred net upvotes, and many comments, meaning whoever was trying to limit his visibility has failed.

oh yeah, I’ll bet OP feels very unseen right now, with their nearly 500 net upvotes and ~70 comments on this post.
Point being, said loser has failed miserably to do anything other than make themselves look more like a loser.

It will never not be funny to me that some people are so chronically online they think everyone else gives as much of a fuck about made up internet points as they do, and more, will go to such an extraordinary effort on a site which doesn’t have cumulative karma like reddit did. these guys not only need to touch grass, they need to go and become one with nature for a few weeks.
lastly, ow, fuck, my sides!
- Comment on Trump Taps Palantir to Compile Data on Americans 1 month ago:
I’ve always liked guns, never wanted one in the house because of depression. now, it’s looking like eating a 12 gauge sandwich is, in fact, probably going to be the better way out, eventually. I’m trying to put it off as long as possible until my choices are “get a gun now or you won’t be able to later, at all”.

yeah I’m gay and am on the autism spectrum, between that and being a leftist “parasite” (food stamp recipient), I’ve largely resigned myself to my fate as well. But I’m not going to going to fucking El Salvador or any other memory hole he shoves people into. I’d rather die on my front lawn.

- Comment on AI cheating surge pushes schools into chaos 1 month ago:
I guarantee you that would not work, because I went through cyber schooling as a kid long before covid was a thing and they tried the same with me when I procrastinated and played games instead of doing my work. They locked it down progressively more and i kept breaking out until finally, they gave me a computer so locked down you couldn’t open task manager, command prompt, safe mode had a password…
I was back to full access in <3 days. At the age of likr 12. And apparently, the school’s IT department basically said “we can’t lock it down any more or else he wouldn’t be able to do work on it, either”. And then they gave up.
In short, that will not stop a crafty enough, stubborn enough kid. Guaranteed.

I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2’s community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai’s videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately.

Almost every antidepressant I’ve tried has side effects I don’t like, but especially the way they fuck up your libido is incredibly frustrating to me, and every antidepressant that has had any effect on my mood has also made my dick useless. The only one I’d tried that didn’t was Wellbutrin, and that just didn’t do anything.
Oh, runners up prize for “worst side effect” goes to Prozac, which made me grind my goddamn teeth unconsciously, in addition to my dick not working. that got seriously painful after a few days.
