It’s a more formal way to dress. I had to wear uniforms with tucked in shirts as a kid in school. It’s also a normal requirement at jobs. Becomes habit.

I’m joining you at the Horror House tonight. I’m free tonight, so I’m joining you at the Horror House.
- Comment on Online ‘Pedophile Hunters’ Are Growing More Violent — and Going Viral: With the rise of loosely moderated social media platforms, a fringe vigilante movement is experiencing a dangerous evolution. 6 days ago:
Nazis: If you support LGBT you’re a pedophile. And we’re already coming for you.
People, for some fucking reason: Pedophiles get fucked, do what you want to them, erase them at any cost!!
“Please hold this paper target in front of your face while I shoot at it.”
“Sounds dangerous but I see you are aiming at the paper so I should be fine.”
- Comment on Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account 1 week ago:
I’m making fun of the juxtaposition of people that express frustration/animosity for Windows with the need to stay on Windows in order to consume cutting edge video games.
It gets to be comical. Something about the “height” difference. Like you have the giant “They’re taking away my ownership of my data and my very computer!” standing next to little old “But I like my raytracing.”
“My data is being exposed in the name of corporate AI!” next to “But I can’t play games with anticheat with my friends.” It’s funny. I’m going to laugh.

Everyone knows women are good at sex and any awkwardness is because men are bad at sex. Duh!!
- Comment on MAGA Republican Logic 4 weeks ago:
These sick liberals need to stop defining themselves with sex.
Have sex within your race! Have sex in a way that Harry Potter would approve! Have sex with underage mothers! Save your virginity for an old man in an authoritative position in your life!
And for the love of God Almighty, stop bringing up sex! Sex! SEX!!
- Comment on You knew it was coming: Google begins testing AI-only search results | This version of Google won't show you the 10 blue links at all—Gemini completely takes over the results in AI Mode 4 weeks ago:
That’s weird – we water our soil with nutrients like “there’s no point in voting”, “they’re all out to get us”, “politicians are shit”, “nothing changes”, “governments are bad”.
I wonder why people haven’t been motivated to fight. Whenever they express faith in our leaders, or institutions, or have any positivity, we’re quick to shut them down. But still.
(Why would people motivated to fight hang out online where everyone has a reason why trying is pointless?)
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 5 weeks ago:
I was thinking more along the lines of “install and play this free unity game while it siphons personal data off your computer and sends it back to epic servers”
They’re specifically getting something of value in return for the good or service and then claiming it’s free and that customers are not customers, merely “users.”
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 5 weeks ago:
I don’t get how something is allowed to be labeled “free” when the terms of usage make you barter your data.

Looks like tiktok engagement bait. That will never work here! Oh…
- Comment on If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods? 2 months ago:
There’s a law called HOPA that says it’s legal. You can have white only neighborhoods if you have the laws, until someone challenges them, changes them, etc. There’s a specific allowance for old people and nobody wants to take it away enough to have changed it.
- Comment on Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior' 2 months ago:
Police could already use drones operated by humans to chase people. It’s already possible and already safer. For some reason the police don’t seem to give a shit about that. Their leaders don’t care, and their leaders’ leaders don’t care. But go ahead billionaire man with AI, change the world.
- Comment on This is in a small convenience store where you can buy food things and heat them up while in the store 2 months ago:
Walmart sold kits for beating drug tests that included a heating pad and elastic band to strap it to your thigh.
- Comment on Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD." 3 months ago:
Fable
As a kid you get your village burned down but you’re rescued at the last minute by a Hero.
You’re raised in the Heroes Guild and become one yourself. You help people, kick some chickens, and learn magic.
And then you fight a god, twice.

Growing up I watched that conservative dad rant about diversity hires from American History X. They haven’t grown at all as a culture.

I tried googling ‘jimmy fallon vulcan’ and couldn’t find that picture, just him joking about a statue. It’s spot on though

They’re unaliving censorship, or however younger generations say it.
- Comment on I don't trust like that. 5 months ago:
I like the wasps around my house, they’re Apache wasps I think. I’ve shooed them away, worked next to them, they just watch me or fly around. Seems I need to really try to anger them.
Mud daubers are cool too but their life cycle is nightmare fuel, I feel for the spiders.

My favorite part of Transformers was when my government had the script changed to include Marines being heroic. We really needed good PR after that whole Afghanistan and Iraq thing.
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 5 months ago:
If you smoke weed you’re more likely to wear converse. It’s aesthetics. When someone says they’re anti abortion I usually see it as aesthetics. They want others to see them as being anti abortion. That’s what they get out of it.
It isn’t a literal belief. Democrats reduce abortions, much better than cons. Being anti abortion should mean voting for Democrats… IF you were still taking things literally. It’s not misinformation or lack of education, it’s misaligned priorities.
They’re just trying to be a tribe and signal allegiance. To have literal beliefs that you live by regardless of “your side” is a completely different game to what they’re playing.
