“Hey no fair! You’re harming my economy!”
- Comment on Tesla is banned from Canada EV rebate program, gov freezes suspicous $43 million in rebates 1 week ago:
Wait what? Can we give more details? What do you mean by stalked?
- Comment on How exactly are people lighting Teslas on fire? 1 week ago:
If I ever got tired of my car and wanted to burn it down somewhere safe and legal to do it, I’d do it the same way as it is usually done for any kind of car: break the window, douse the inside with a flammable liquid and light it up. I’d also have to be very careful while lighting it because if the flammable fumes have time to build up inside before being lit, it could explode and injure the person lighting it.
- Comment on What if there really was a "pee tape"? 1 week ago:

- Comment on Starlink is now accessible across the White House campus, which was already served by fiber cable, after service was “donated”, as some cite security concerns. 2 weeks ago:
In any healthy democracy, this would have been seen as a scandal exposing signs of corruption and would have likely resulted in the dissolution of the government and early election.
But the US is not a healthy democracy.
- Comment on DOGE Plan to Push AI Across the US Federal Government is Wildly Dangerous 3 weeks ago:
McDonald’s couldn’t even get AI to take drive-through orders properly. Musk wants it to run the government.
- Comment on Art of the Deal 3 weeks ago:
He’s creating an environment of financial uncertainty over his trade partners to drive away investors from them.
Except he doesn’t seem to realize he’s also creating uncertainty around his own country as well. Everyone else will still get investments to develop trade with any country that isn’t the US.
- Comment on But DrUgS at The Border!! 4 weeks ago:
It is a pretext to attempt to run Canada’s economy in order to make it easier to annex it.
- Comment on Ex-Amazon VP explains why rich a-holes with helicopters and personal assistants don't get why you hate your commute 4 weeks ago:
I would argue that the fact that they are using labor and resources that would normally serve a large number of people to serve only themselves due to the sheer extravagance of their needs increases costs for everyone else thorough increased scarcity.
- Comment on Why can't we go back to small phones? 4 weeks ago:
One thing that annoys me on the market at the moment is that the majority of folding phones available are like small crappy tablets that fold into a large, impractical to carry phones, and not large, very usable phones that fold into something much more compact that is easier to carry…
- Comment on Trump says Mexico, Canada tariffs will start March 4, plus additional 10% on China 5 weeks ago:
If Teump wants what little and negligible trade imbalance there has been between Canada and the US to be rebalanced, all the US has to do is buy slightly less oil from Canada.
But of course, they want to have their cake and eat it too.
- Comment on Seen in the HUD offices 5 weeks ago:
Great. Now do Musk kissing Putin’s butt
- Comment on Ukraine: Zelenskyy offers to quit in return for NATO entry 5 weeks ago:
Trump is incapable of comprehending this level of selflessness
- Comment on Fingerprinting: Critics say Google rules put profits over privacy. 1 month ago:
Google prioritizing profits over the privacy of its users? Colour be shocked.
Seriously thought, is there anything at all that they do not prioritize over the privacy of its users at this point?

What a dumpster fire that truck is.
- Comment on How Trump Lost His Trade War - The Atlantic 1 month ago:
His mistake was to threaten to annex Canada alongside with it. That threat immediately united and galvanized all Canadians to fight him tooth and nail.
- Comment on Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’ 1 month ago:
And I’m using it against a literal neonazi. Seems fair to me.
- Comment on Reddit temporarily bans r/WhitePeopleTwitter after Elon Musk claimed it had ‘broken the law’ 1 month ago:
If you want to know who really is in charge, just look at who you’re not allowed to criticize.
- Comment on Why Has Trump Gone Soft on China and Hard on Canada? 1 month ago:
Musk is supposedly socially awkward and must be excused whenever he does or say something offensive because he has no filter, according to his fans.
Funny that he has never, ever said anything bad about China. Weird that the filter seems to be working pretty well for that.
- Comment on The Microsoft 365 Copilot launch was a total disaster 2 months ago:
They’re desperately trying to justify the absurd amounts of money they’ve been sinking into the AI bubble.
- Comment on Please advise on this conversation we had over on c/Piracy. Transporters and replicators, basic operating principles? 2 months ago:
The wiring in a house that carries about 2000W could start a fire if it gets damaged. Imagine what would happen if whatever carries the energy to power a replicator gets damaged.
- Comment on "It seems likely Elon Musk has lost over half of the UK twitter daily audience by now" 2 months ago:
Keep going UK! We’re proud of you!
- Comment on New Captcha requires defeating three enemies or you're Doomed to repeat it 2 months ago:
I’ve tried the captcha they linked to. Holy crap. Not being able to strafe completely changed how you ‘solve’ the ‘puzzle’.
- Comment on Microsoft is really serious about giving more products Copilot name on Windows 11 2 months ago:
They keep trying to cram unwanted features down the throats of their customers just so they can justify the insane amount of resources they’ve sunk into then.
Meanwhile people just walk away.
- Comment on Trump trolls Trudeau by promising Canucks he'll lower taxes if Canada becomes '51st state' -- and backs hockey legend Wayne Gretzky as PM 3 months ago:
The cost of private health insurance alone would erase what would have been saved by lower taxes. And we’d still have to pay bankruptcy-inducing hospital bills on top of that anyway.
- Comment on Microsoft wants $30 to let you keep using Windows 10 securely for another year 5 months ago:
Considering that when people paid $100 for that OS they were told that it would be the “last Windows to be released”, shouldn’t there be a class action lawsuit?
- Comment on YouTube tests removing viewer counts — here’s what we know 5 months ago:
They removed the star system a long time ago. They removed the down votes again a few years back.
- Comment on Google is working on an AI agent that takes over your browser 5 months ago:
I’m imagining anything filling text and clicking buttons and it strikes me as an unbelievably annoying and unsafe.
Filing you tax report? Sorry now you’ve committed fraud because the AI sent false information on your behalf. Went in your banking website? Looks like the AI sent a bunch of money to some random account. Going on Amazon? How weird, the AI has ordered a bunch of useless crap on your behalf.
- Comment on Cable companies ask 5th Circuit to block FTC’s click-to-cancel rule | Cable companies worry rule will make it hard to talk customers out of canceling 5 months ago:
I want to cancel. I don’t want to be put in line for over half an hour and then have to have a painful argument with some poor employee who gets punished somehow if I finally convince them to do their job an cancel the account
