- Comment on French far right wants to reopen brothels and put sex workers in charge 2 weeks ago:
This sounds like something the far left & far right will agree on. They’ll say, how empowering.
- Comment on If you are a refugee, you will be turned away by both close allies and the most hostile adversaries of your home country. 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely, and China is far from perfect. America though will throw trillions to try to maintain a failed economic system while socializing the rich & blaming the “socialists” & “communists.”
When you copyright & privatize everything including the most prominent technology, people can’t innovate & collaborate, nor would they want to. At least in China and I actually give them credit for this, is they don’t have to give a shit about American patents. Whenever most politicians talk about this they act like it is a bad thing. What they’re protecting is actually what is substantially slowing innovation in America, and may actually give China the advantage necessary to win the AI race among others, therefore potentially surpassing America as a superpower & proving that this capitalist agenda everyone is always talking about protecting, is what caused it to fail.
- Comment on If you are a refugee, you will be turned away by both close allies and the most hostile adversaries of your home country. 2 weeks ago:
You’re forgetting the most important part. The reason adversaries prevail in other countries & that we have a large number of refugees is because of American terrorism & regime change, colonialism & imperialism. Furthermore, the reason drug cartels even exist is because of the absolute failure in America to treat substance abuse & addiction as an education/health issue, and instead criminalizing & even lying about many substances for decades. Instead, they used it to fill for-profit prisons with non-violent individuals, mostly black people, while subsidizing & assisting pharmaceutical companies like Purdue Pharma to get richer. Furthermore, if you’re rich & white, you’re almost completely immune from equal punishment.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
People vs most people. Also, like I said… a lot of people don’t even know what they want when it comes to these things or what is fictional. I’m sure if you ask a lot of them if phones should have a ghost scanner, a lot of people will say they should.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
Sir it sounds like you want a laptop phone. Or do you mean small keys but with mechanical switches?
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
A lot has changed in 15 years. I personally liked the keyboard on the Sidekick.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
No thanks. I want actual buttons like the Sidekick had.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
I don’t give a shit what most people want. Most people don’t know what the fuck they want, and if you ask them they’ll start making up even dumber shit because you asked. A keyboard on modern day phone actually has value though for people that know what they want & need. Just because a lot of people use cars doesn’t mean NASCAR should be looking at everyday drivers to design their cars. We’re talking about a triple-fold touch screen here, basically proving my point about what happens when you ask dumb rich people what you should do next.
- Comment on Black Friday spending raises eyebrows over US economy 3 weeks ago:
LOL… Like most things involving the economy they only see what they want to. If companies made things unaffordable for most people 364 days out of the year, but on the one day they didn’t they say record spending, to them they’d say… Look how great the economy is, people spent a record amount of money one day out of the year.
- Comment on Samsung reveals first tri-fold phone 3 weeks ago:
For God’s sake, people want a keyboard on a phone not more folds. Add a keyboard & become a hero.
- Comment on About This Account reveals the scale of Twitter’s foreign troll problem 4 weeks ago:
Did anyone really believe Musk when he claimed to care about spambots, and wanted to get rid of them? I mean, technically he did care & wanted to get rid of the ones he didn’t control.
- Comment on About This Account reveals the scale of Twitter’s foreign troll problem 4 weeks ago:
Remember kids, if you even look at the leaked Ehud Barak’s emails showing Epstein was working with Mossad you’re an antisemite. Also, if you dare suggest the Israeli lobby buys politicians you’re an antisemite. Also now, if you don’t believe X showing DHS location as Israel was because of a VPN then you’re an antisemite.
- Comment on Israeli society is truly gone so outrageously far right that translation from Hebrew is now disabled on X (#Twitter) as of Nov16 5 weeks ago:
Sounds that way. All they’re doing is censorship to protect Israel.

This many be the only instance I partially agree with something Cruz has said.
- Comment on 'America is not happy': ABC under fire for pulling Jimmy Kimmel Live! 2 months ago:
LOL. A strongly worded letter will save democracy. When are people going to wake up & realize they’re government is controlled by the same corporations they constantly spend their 💰 money to support?
- Comment on AP reporting calls into question why and how Israel attacked a Gaza hospital 3 months ago:
I wonder if Israel bombed their kids if they would say it raises questions about the rationale.
- Comment on Nvidia Sales Jump 56%, a Sign the A.I. Boom Isn’t Slowing Down 3 months ago:
The bubble won’t pop. AI has become a national defense initiative. The only thing that will pop NVIDIA’s bubble is another chip designer coming out with something better. Maybe someone will use AI that ran on NVIDIA to build something else, therefore using NVIDIA to kill NVIDIA.
- Comment on ‘If I switch it off, my girlfriend might think I’m cheating’: inside the rise of couples location sharing 4 months ago:
If a partner demand they have it on to prove they’re not cheating, then they should be looking for a different partner.

I mean it does seem to adequately represent the American corpocracy bureaucracy.
- Comment on Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps 5 months ago:
Absolutely not the case… I sense a bad case of Stockholm syndrome.
- Comment on Unless users take action, Android will let Gemini access third-party apps 5 months ago:
Yes, for the amount of hate Google gets… Which I think it is fair to be critical of any product that compromises privacy… I recently tried helping my mom clean up her iPhone, and seriously like 100x worse. Almost everything you do on Apple demands you have another Apple device. One of the worst experiences I’ve ever dealt with.

- Comment on In 6 hours it will be illegal to say "I support Palestine Action" in the UK, with a sentence of up to 14 years in prison. 5 months ago:
This really is a big part of it. A lot of Democrats weren’t upset about authoritarianism & fascism, they were upset it wasn’t their version.

What Israel is doing is very much Nazi like. But saying such will get you banned on Mastodon.social, and probably prosecuted in places like Germany.

I wouldn’t trust them to not randomly enable WiFi, but you can also use their modem but disable any built in WiFi on it & still use your own router. ISPs continue to try to bundle their modem & router, which gives them complete access to your home network. Some lucky people have found fiber providers that let them use their own SFP.

The IDF is a terrorist organization. Prove me wrong.

They’re referring to all the subsidized bureaucratic closed-source monopoly-spyware that they force you to buy for the NSA.

Hm, let’s not forget this gem:

The government also wants you to believe that Hamas is running AI bot farms with fiber ethernet under all that ruble. But what they don’t warn you about:

- Comment on Reddit in talks to embrace Sam Altman’s iris-scanning Orb to verify users 5 months ago:
I think the appropriate headline should be:
“Reddit in talks to embrace iris-scanning Orb to verify users created by man alleged by his own sister to have molested her throughout her childhood beginning at age 3.”
