- Comment on Duolingo CEO tries to walk back AI-first comments, fails 1 week ago:
crazy how fast they ruined the reputation of this company. just a couple months ago, duo mascot and Duolingo streaks were cool and fun. they had a good thing going. but now it’s just another shit tech company again. they lost all the good will in like a month.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
you’re quoting yourself but you never said that. you said maybe Gabe could be entering his villain phase, as if he’s not there yet. thus implying you meant he’s not a villain, so we shouldn’t assume the worse. I get what you say now, but you did not say what you meant in your original comment.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
nah. you need to be pretty fucking terrible to build a business where your share of it is worth a billion dollars. you do so by cheating your customers, employees, and competition. valve is no exception.
there are plenty of companies out there that pay their employees decently, make good products, and compete fairly. those companies usually aren’t worth that much and their leaders aren’t making a billion dollars from it. you’re right that the tax policies are shit, but it’s not like you ever accidentally become a billionaire. you do so by cheating the tax system too and screwing the general public.
and nobody said anything about killing people.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
I’m not. your post is literally saying we should be nicer to him because he’s not Elon. you’re saying we should be easy on him because he might be doing some good. I’m saying we shouldn’t.
- Comment on Valve CEO Gabe Newell’s Neuralink competitor is expecting its first brain chip this year 1 week ago:
let’s not circlejerk and have a soft spot for a billionaire just because you like video games. why give gaben the benefit of the doubt just because you think steam is a good product? if they’re a billionaire doing this, we can assume this is a money making venture.
if you’re a billionaire, you’re already way into your villain phase. he’s not musk, but he’s one of them. you don’t make a billion dollars. you take a billion dollars.

nah, it’s usually hand moisture that causes this. if you do a lot of stuff that dries your hands out, you’ll get it too. climbing chalk can do that. I also said 95% is hydration. vitamins can also help.
- Comment on Anyone? 3 weeks ago:
I’m positive 95% of your results came just from drinking more water. when your hands look like the picture, it’s almost definitely because you’re chronically dehydrated.
- Comment on Tesla confirms it has given up on its Cybertruck range extender to achieve promised range 3 weeks ago:
that’s been tech as an industry for the last decade. product releases, then all promised features come as a half baked update a year later… if at all. phones, games, cars, etc all use this strategy now unfortunately.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 5 weeks ago:
agreed. not needed in most cases but absolutely needed in some. exactly what I meant in my original comment
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 5 weeks ago:
nah my nephew had to get one because his foreskin wouldn’t grow. it literally was cutting off blood flow to his pecker, so they give him a circumcision. sucks but kinda had to happen.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 5 weeks ago:
not really… they said any. they didn’t give any indication they might have an exception to that. sounds like they’re talking about a blanket ban.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 5 weeks ago:
I think religiously mandated circumcision is as dumb as the next guy does but c’mon now… there are legitimate reasons to do it and getting it done does not have that terrible health outcomes for the kid company to FGM. I think society as a whole should start to think of it as a bygone practice, but putting doctors on pikes over it is extreme.

- Comment on Boarding passes and check-in could be scrapped in air travel shake-up 1 month ago:
TSA in the States has already pulled it off. they use sources they already have like your current and past passport and ID photos for verification and do not store the pic they take when crossing TSA. that’s what the signs say at least. I guess it’s good enough for them already…
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 1 month ago:
I love linux too, but linux is absolutely more complicated for a typical computer user

I didn’t know they changed what they do! I used to go there for free Counter Strike hacks

you’re right. no arguments here
- Comment on Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank 2 months ago:
most BYD cars have a gas generator that can power its electric motor. you can still fill a tank and you can still huff gas.

oh for sure. if I’m gonna sell out humanity, I’m gonna make sure to give you guys the respect you deserve by making sure I’m paid in full.

ngl I’d turn against my fellow man if I, exclusively, was offered a couple mil untaxed income instantly from a billionaire
- Comment on Reddit hints at expanded AI-powered search 3 months ago:
I met Steve one time waiting in line at rite aid and he told me he hates dessert and hugs. that’s weird I thought. I was holding a drink and he smacked it out of my hand. then he pointed at something on my shirt. I was concerned I had an embarrassing stain or something, but I went to look down at it, he fucking hits me in the face. I hate Steve man.
- Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit 3 months ago:
pretty elitist thing to think imo. some people just don’t want to concern themselves with certain things. I’m honestly envious of those people. I wish I could care less.
- Comment on Yeah, let's stop with this "don't judge people for their poiltics" bullshit 3 months ago:
I’ve lived all around this country and I think the biggest bucket that you exclude is “people who grew up their whole lives in Republican communities that also don’t care about politics nearly as much as chronic Internet users”. these people go to the booths and go ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ before voting for whoever’s campaign banner they saw around town more or whoever they heard a relative mention. these people are everywhere. they aren’t even bad people or misinformed dummies, per say, just willingly uninformed. for a large swath of Americans, being Republican is just the default unfortunately.
