- Comment on Hesitating getting a Switch 2 (1st game console in 15 years)... 11 hours 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.

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. 4 days 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 6 days 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 1 week 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 1 week 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.

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 1 week 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? 1 week 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 3 weeks ago:
Too coherent and Trump would never show concern for women’s safety.
- Comment on Captcha 4 weeks 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 4 weeks 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.

Developers like this should be considered collaborators with fascist elements.
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 4 weeks ago:
I said “weird.” Furries are weird, those people who plaster their cars with bumper stickers are weird. That doesn’t mean that they’re bad or we have to do something about them. “Deviant” probably wasn’t the right word because what you insinuated with
I can’t even begin to fathom what your mind is like
Is much worse.
Hence, I said that last bit to make you mad, not because I actually believed that. Why should I just take your bullshit on the nose and move on?
There is nothing wrong with casual sex. There is something wrong with liking casual sex and simultaneously berating people for being horny or casting unwanted gazes.
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 4 weeks ago:
There’s a hell of a lot that separates us from other animals. Throw your smartphone in the trash and go frolic in the woods for the rest of your life if you are so convinced that thousands of years of human socialization is a mistake.
I don’t like being called a deviant…because I like that wearing clothes is the norm? Maybe in return I’d posit that you’re actually a bunch of perverts who enjoy casual sexual encounters, and all this talk about normalization is bullshit?
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 4 weeks ago:
I suppose I could see that. I’m assuming you’re a woman or female-presenting cause that’s not something I can fully empathize with as a dude. But you do have the choice of dressing how you want to be perceived, no? I’m sure there are other options beyond wearing a trash bag of a top.

I’m not surprised since your OP is boilerplate nudist justification and not really any exploration of paraphilia.
I think there’s a mile in between puritanical shame and thinking the body isn’t and shouldn’t be considered sexual and is fit for public consumption. Why is it important to desexualize the human body? What’s the benefit?
- Comment on I hope i don't get downvoted for this 4 weeks ago:
Nudists are weird people and I wouldn’t accept what they have to say about sexuality at face value.

- 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. 1 month 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.

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.

- Comment on Marc Andreessen predicts one of the few jobs that may survive the rise of AI automation 1 month 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 1 month 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.

That pigeon should definitely be panicking more, there’s an old video out there of a pelican successfully swallowing a pigeon whole and alive.
