- Comment on Ubisoft Confirms a New First-Person Ghost Recon Game is in Development 12 hours ago:
I remember playing Ghost Recon (no tagline) back on the Gamecube, probably not the appropriate game for my age.
It was definitely a slower and more grounded game back then, or at least as much as a mainstream game could be back in the early 2000s. And first-person.

That’s most usable explosives from my limited understanding. A small primary explosive charge setting off a more stable bulk explosive, whether that be ANFO or C4 or something else.
He may have already had dynamite, but not a Uhaul full of dynamite. Which would have been difficult and quite dangerous I imagine.
The same losers come by gun stores and ask how to convert their AR-15s into machine guns. Actual police work is difficult I guess, so they go on these fishing expeditions.

Public stories attract ire and inquisitive noses. Having to put together a story (even a shallow lie) also implies that they have an obligation to answer to the public. They would prefer that not be the case, in fact they would rather questioning their work be a crime in and of itself.

After Oklahoma City I’m pretty sure commercial fertilizer is pelletized with some sort of coating specifically to prevent its use as an explosive.

Legality or lack thereof also doesn’t matter if they’re at the point where they’ll just force-feed you their Glock and throw your corpse into a lye pit in the woods.
- Comment on Algorithmic Sabotage Manifesto. 6 days ago:
Because when people write manifestos, they are often trying to convince the reader that they are highly intelligent more than they are trying to plainly explain themselves. They are usually a product of mania.
- Comment on How are you doing fellow kids 1 week ago:
I think neatly curated propaganda work isn’t quite the same as an internet meme. The Richard Dawkins, Metal Gear Rising definition, perhaps. Internet memes, especially modern ones, have a crude banality if not outright absurdity to them. It’s like saying a funny home video uploaded to YouTube is essentially the same as a theatrical comedy movie release.
- Comment on How are you doing fellow kids 1 week ago:
I imagine Nazi memes would be similarly humorless to normal people, where cruelty is always the punchline.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 week ago:
I was reading it like the big bad government was preventing us from draining ourselves however we please for personal profit, and that’s a bad thing. I am not feeling well and my reading comprehension is clearly lacking.
- Comment on “Donated” plasma today 1 week ago:
Is that not for health reasons? Donating twice in a row like that seems like it would take a real toll on you.
I don’t know why that’s dystopian, if anything what’s dystopian is that people are relying on doing this to support themselves at all.

- Comment on 60% of Teachers Used AI This Year and Saved up to 6 Hours of Work a Week 1 week ago:
Teachers use AI to generate assignments, kids use AI to generate answers, teachers use AI to grade answers.
Yeah, we’re cooked.
- Comment on ICEBlock climbs to the top of the App Store charts after officials slam it 2 weeks ago:
Your wife is going to be grabbed out of your home and thrown into an unmarked SUV and you will never see her again. And you’ll let it happen because you would rather be a slave to a regime than confront the fact that you’re wrong.

I mean this in the most endearing way I can, without a shred of malice.
This is the most autistic thing I’ve read in a hot minute. I can’t help but laugh thinking about the train of thought that led you to post this. Based scalie enjoyer, I guess.
- Comment on Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)... 2 weeks ago:
I haven’t powered on my switch in years, but when I used it, 99% of the time it was docked with a TV, so the battery life and screen didn’t matter to me. I would think that’s the best setup for family gaming anyway.
The cartridge/download code is a step down in ownership of your games, but that’s been a lost battle for years. Steam is widely seen as the standard for gaming, and you are only buying a conditional license when you buy a game on that platform, you don’t own those either. This change only really matters if you, personally, rip games from disks/cartridges.
- Comment on Microsoft pushes staff to use internal AI tools more, and may consider this in reviews. 'Using AI is no longer optional.' 3 weeks ago:
American employers don’t even give you this anymore. You are escorted away by security and someone else empties your shit into a box and hands it to you in the lobby. They are very afraid of sabotage.

- Comment on ‘FuckLAPD’ Lets Anyone Use Facial Recognition to Identify Cops. 3 weeks ago:
Not long at all. Add criminal charges and extradition orders by LA prosecutors against the devs for good measure.

Mismanaged or embezzled?
- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 3 weeks ago:
He means rewrite every narrative to his liking, like the benevolent god-sage he thinks he is.
- Comment on Homeland Security Warns about the Spike in China-Based Technology Firms’ Smuggling of Signal Jammers 4 weeks ago:
Seems like a signal jammer is something someone would want if they wanted to fight back against an occupying force that heavily relies on radio communication.
- Comment on Army gives shady offer to tech bros so they can play soldier 4 weeks ago:
Typically that is a customer-provider relationship, and ideally (but probably not in reality) that relationship is tightly regulated. At best this move is a breach of ethics.
- Comment on Army gives shady offer to tech bros so they can play soldier 4 weeks ago:
Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power

- Comment on Two Days Talking to People Looking for Jobs at ICE - The motivating force behind American career fascism would appear to be wanderlust 4 weeks ago:
I think the motivation is racism, but few are going to admit that in an interview or questionnaire.
I think people should stop trying to rehabilitate the image of these assholes. They’re bad people who need to be held accountable for their decisions, all of them.
- Comment on Is the U.S. Vulnerable to a Drone Sneak Attack? 4 weeks ago:
I think basically everyone except North Korea is. Anyone who allows goods and people to move through their borders with any level of freedom can theoretically get attacked like Russia did.
- Comment on The D.E.N.N.I.S ship 1 month ago:
Too coherent and Trump would never show concern for women’s safety.
- Comment on Captcha 1 month ago:
Those trees run pretty thick, if I were a sniper I wouldn’t set up in the middle of the thicket where my sight line is 30 meters at best all around. I’d be posted somewhere where I could lock down a good chunk of that cleared footpath where people are most likely to travel, like the 6th square from the top left.

- Comment on Developer Builds Tool That Scrapes YouTube Comments, Uses AI to Predict Where Users Live 1 month ago:
Anyone who builds tools explicitly for mass surveillance of the public is a collaborator, no matter who writes their paycheck.
And don’t let the narrative be “MegaCorp built these tools.” No, human beings with names and ostensibly consciences built these tools for MegaCorp. They are just as guilty if not more so.
