- Comment on Voted today. Let's go, Romania! 🇷🇴🇪🇺 1 day ago:
- Comment on There is significant evidence that Grok actually inserted information about “white genocide” in South Africa into prompts that didn't appear to be related to this topic. 3 days ago:
Just like the American Confederacy, there is a sizeable “lost cause” myth surrounding white-colonized South Africa and Zimbabwe/Rhodesia among racists. This is simply an offshoot of that rotten tree.
- Comment on How can you tell 23 subgenres of equally shitty growls and screams apart, but not see the most Metal basics? 1 week ago:
People who elect genocidal, theocratic fascists to power because they think trans people are icky should be driven to the fringes of society, not have their feelings coddled.

Scientists: “Tell me the name of God you fungal piece of shit!”
- Comment on A test on how online you are 2 weeks ago:
Something something “x quantity of dudes could take out a gorilla barehanded if they just committed”
I think.
- Comment on Marc Andreessen predicts one of the few jobs that may survive the rise of AI automation 2 weeks ago:
They expect you to die of starvation, disease, and infighting. If you choose to lunge at them, they hope to have a network of automated weapons to drop the god particle on your peasant ass.
- Comment on Virginia passes law to enforce maximum vehicle speeds for repeat speeders 2 weeks ago:
Feels like sooner or later they’re just going to govern every car to the posted speed limit of the road it’s driving on. The tech definitely exists, and there isn’t really a nonemotional reason not to.
- Comment on Pelicans will literally try to eat anything 3 weeks ago:
That pigeon should definitely be panicking more, there’s an old video out there of a pelican successfully swallowing a pigeon whole and alive.
- Comment on When you go out on your porch to get your grocery delivery you notice that a huge Moose is there 3 weeks ago:
Moose don’t fuck around. They’re dumb as shit and territorial. They kill more people than grizzlies IIRC.
- Comment on Tesla speeds up odometers to avoid warranty repairs, U.S. lawsuit claims: Reuters 4 weeks ago:
I would think drifting runs the odometer higher because your wheels are spinning like in a burnout while moving a comparatively short distance.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 4 weeks ago:
That cuts into Bethesda’s paid re-release.
- Comment on Skyblivion fan project lead reacts to Oblivion remake news with "all love and no hate" 4 weeks ago:
That goodwill can change in an instant, especially if they are releasing a competing product, and especially if the legal team gets in the loop rather than the development staff.
- Comment on Beauty is still out there 5 weeks ago:
The same people made a 500-cigarette version because of that Orville meme.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 5 weeks ago:
That the opps can obtain just as easily.
I’m no Delta operator, but I think it’s generally a bad thing to be outnumbered in a gun fight. Especially if you’re by your lonesome, just means you’ll get outmaneuvered and destroyed if you can’t escape quickly.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 5 weeks ago:
I’m a left-leaning gun owner, and I don’t buy that. “We’re ready and organized…but we’re a super secret dark brotherhood so we can’t show you!” does not inspire confidence.
For every one of us there are probably 6-12 MAGA zealots by my estimation (vibes-based, admittedly).
- Comment on Pro-Israel Group Asks Pam Bondi to Investigate YouTube Star Ms. Rachel - The far right thinks Ms. Rachel should be under investigation for caring about kids in Gaza. 5 weeks ago:
Imagine if the US told France to arrest and deport a legal French citizen because they criticized the Iraq War.
The fact that this sort of influence mongering is normal is fucking crazy. We aren’t in charge of our own national interest because we’re led by a bunch of faithless mercenaries.
- Comment on Pro-Israel Group Asks Pam Bondi to Investigate YouTube Star Ms. Rachel - The far right thinks Ms. Rachel should be under investigation for caring about kids in Gaza. 5 weeks ago:
Canary Mission and Betar should be investigated as (likely unregistered) foreign agents of Israel and be criminally charged as such. But of course that won’t happen.
- Comment on Tariffs Make Repair an Even Better Choice. 5 weeks ago:
I’m afraid replacement parts may not merely go up in price, but many could simply disappear from the American market. Higher prices quash demand, and importers may make the strategic decision to stop delivering less popular secondary SKUs if it doesn’t make financial sense.
- Comment on ZeniMax union "overwhelming" votes to authorise strike if Microsoft contract negotiations break down 1 month ago:
one of their in-house artists, or a furry artist
Probably one and the same.
- Comment on I did not like Pokémon Emerald. 1 month ago:
In that gen at least you kind of have to grind out some XP before each gym or you get schwacked. Whether that makes it a better or worse game is subjective. In the Alpha/Omega remakes this isn’t much of a problem. But when I tried playing through those I stopped because it was trivially easy for that reason and others. Again, subjective.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 1 month ago:
Workers, at best, only get a tiny fraction of “winning” when it happens. Why should anyone destroy themselves for spoils that multimillionaire C-suites take for themselves?
- Comment on Solid voting advice 1 month ago:
Generally no. Bulletproof glass is thick as hell and requires extensive modification to the door, plus it often precludes being able to roll the window down.
Some might opt for kevlar panelling in the door. Anything heavier goes back to “extensive modification” and turns an $80k cruiser into a $400k cruiser.
They buy MRAPs from the DoD on the cheap for armored vehicles.

rock
Clearly a stone.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Man I miss 2012 (or whenever it was) and the “Ron Paul will make anime real” memes.
- Comment on What are some old games that are hard to revisit, because a more modern and superior version exists? 1 month ago:
I started Monster Hunter with 4U on the 3DS. After World, Rise, and now Wilds, I have a hard time justifying crumpling my hands into a pretzel to play the old games on portable. The movesets are comparatively barebones, and there’s a lot of tedium and jank that the new games stripped away. Veterans will tell you that’s the real Monster Hunter and the new games are infantilized arcade games, but whatever. I play games to have fun, not bang my head against a wall.
- Comment on How it feels wandering into different bubbles sometimes 1 month ago:
I find they’re usually just cowards afraid to stand both feet on anything, and/or self-aware of their ignorance so they give the “both-sides” shpheal because it sounds pithy and intelligent.
- Comment on Russian Cybercriminals Are Wondering What the Future Holds Under Trump. 1 month ago:
Its a problem with basically all the post-communist states. When the soviet world collapsed it left a lot of early computer professionals, if not outright intelligence officers, out in the cold, and many of them turned to crime to support themselves. That fostered the environment of hacking and scams that exists today.
The one time my steam account was getting hammered with access attempts, they were from Serbia.
- Comment on This queue for the new swasticar 2 months ago:
That is a lot of manpower that could be used elsewhere, were they actually a public service.
- Comment on Who needs retirement when you can buy an asset that loses value over time? 2 months ago:
Honestly what does retirement planning in America even look like anymore? The next five-ten years are looking to be extremely volatile both financially and politically. It almost feels more risky stockpiling a currency that may lose significant value or even devalue entirely if shit falls apart and/or global war breaks out.
You can’t eat your 401k, buy Mountain House foods by the bucket like your racist uncle! Or something.
- Comment on Killing Floor 3 Delayed (With no new release date) 2 months ago:
I think 2 is technically the better game, but it is marred by its mtx and really half-assed support after the studio got shaken up.
I honestly have no interest in the 100% future setting of KF3. I like the weapons modeled after real ones, not the LED schlock of the HMtech or whatever.
