There’s no way lawmakers stop this, so anyone know a way to wear a mask in public without looking like a lunatic?

- Comment on Gearbox's first Risk of Rain 2 expansion gets hammered on Steam as developer admits the PC version 'is in a really bad place' 2 months ago:
Or even a decade ago. Dark Souls 2 had some enemies’ attack animations tied to frame rate, like the Alonne Knights. So they attacked incredibly fast on PC compared to console.
Weapon degradation was also tied to framerate :(
- Comment on Banning TikTok Won’t Keep Your Data Safe | Pompous billionaires, authoritarian regimes, and opaque oligarchs are hoarding our data. Only an alternative online ecosystem will stop them. 2 months ago:
But then they have to pay, it’s not all free to them. And data brokers sell large data, whereas with TikTok they could just say “Give me everything that exists about @AmbiguousPoops” and know your whole life because they agreed to it in the terms of service.

I think what they’re going to do is to change the price based on how much they think you can afford.
Say “I got a bonus today” while your phone is listening? Guess eggs just went up 20%.

The only people claiming UFOs are disproven are feds or patsies.
Two eyewitness and a whistleblower testifying seeing nonhuman craft under oath to Congress: www.c-span.org/video/?529499-1/hearing-unidentifi…
If UFOs are so disproven, why is congress trying to declassify projects involving them?
I’m not saying believe me, I’m saying that if you take a serious honest look at the phenomenon it’s very plain that there’s something there

I refuse to vote for Sanders…
Because I don’t live in his state so I’m not allowed to.
He’s done great work convincing progressives that the best way to change the Democratic party is from the inside, and I hope it continues.

They figure no one person will have the means to sue or the ability to prove that their data was scraped.

- Comment on Math question: how do we get an irrational number pi from the ratio of circumference and the diameter of a circle? 9 months ago:
It’s not that it can be measured forever, it’s just that it refuses to match up with any line on the ruler.
For a line of length pi: it’s somewhere between 3 or 4, so you get a ruler and figure out it’s 3.1ish, so you get a better ruler and you get 3.14ish. get the best ruler in existence and you get 3.14159265…ish
- Comment on Pentagon ex-UFO chief says conspiracy theorists in government drive spending 9 months ago:
As Kirkpatrick described in his own words, the extent of his investigation of whistleblower claims amounted to asking the government’s secret-keepers if a certain illegal program existed. Kirkpatrick’s approach, as astute observers have noted, is roughly akin to asking a mob boss if he is engaging in illegal activity, and subsequently being satisfied with a “no.”
