Well I certainly have been on dates where men treated me like garbage but at least my husband treasures me.

Well can you run fast in your new shoes?

If we solve zero point energy, we don’t have finite resources but rather infinite resources but yes spreading out into the stars would eventually result in different problems but that is the human cycle. Each solution to current problems creates the next set of problems to solve.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
Having billions of thinking minds is only ever going to be an asset. If we solve the zero point energy problem; then infinite population will be viable but the greed of the billionaires never will be.

Hopefully they get greedy enough that the number of flights drops significantly

misoprostol is prescribed for medical abortions and for Ulcers in horses.
- Comment on Iron 2 days ago:
Or throw $5 into a shared horse who is prone to ulcers. Suddenly no issues getting abortion access.

Load goes up with the number of users. So spikes in usage are effectively a distributed denial of service attack. Be sure to support your instance.
- Comment on Citing “market conditions,” Nintendo hikes prices of original Switch consoles 3 days ago:
Yeah, some people just love throwing their money away into a fire pit; never understood why but nonetheless; the horrors persist and so do I.
- Comment on Citing “market conditions,” Nintendo hikes prices of original Switch consoles 4 days ago:
Here is a market condition for Nintendo: no more buying of any of their products or giving them money for any of their services.
Boycotting until they no longer exist
- Comment on Warren Buffett Said Buying 'Distressed' Homes With 30-Year Mortgages And Renting Them Out Might Be The 'Most Attractive' Investment Available 4 days ago:
He is suffering from a severe form of mental illness (clinically diagnosed as a hoarder).
Unfortunately we celebrate people with mental health issues that make the world worse because they currently have the highest “score” in the game called money.
Funny enough recently passed laws could be used to “rehabilitate” billionaires by helping them free themselves from their hoarding disorders….
- Comment on Halp 4 days ago:
Well yes, proper care is rarely scalable. And always requires thoughtful consideration for others and the reasons for why things are done in a particular way.
- Comment on Halp 5 days ago:
The best way to manage pain is to understand the causes and manage those.
Is that chronic work stress causing an ulcer? Either reduce how much you work or leave to a less stressful work environment.
Is it chronic inflammation? Ibuprofen and Tylenol and determining what foods and environmental conditions produce the most inflammation response (then reducing exposure) (artificial preservatives are pretty common cause and eating less heavily produced foods is probably a good idea)
Is it emotional pain due to isolation? Find/spend time with your hug group.
Is it emotional pain due to embarrassment? Find someone who you can joke about it with and laugh your ass off.
Etc etc
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 1 week ago:
So to match the fraudulent government, the USA is going to have an entirely fraudulent market and soon after an entirely fraudulent currency.
- Comment on Im an unworthy Fraud when it comes to Tech 1 week ago:
Ok (forgive my paraphrasing but)
Listen modern computers are running on billions of lines of code. No one knows what the fuck it is doing.
Modern CPUs, GPUs and other specialized processors have billions of transistors. No one knows what the fuck it is doing ( read the errata if you don’t believe me)
So given that you are working on a steaming pile of crap running on a steaming pile of crap. Why the fuck do you think anyone knows what the fuck it is doing?
If you want to know what a computer is doing get a 6502 or 6809 and flash an eeprom. Otherwise accept things you don’t know about will show up while working on the fuck pile.

You want to use the Metadata Anonymisation Toolkit not trust Microsoft to not fuck you
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
And that is why credit card companies get to rip off stores on every transaction; which makes them pools of money.
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
Well, can you survive 1 month without buying anything online?
- Comment on Back in my day this MF was .29 cents and was THICK with INGREDIENTS 1 week ago:
It also was vegetarian because it was corn pretending to be beef
- Comment on Looking for a BMP picture that was common on Windows 3.1(1) (woman wearing hat) 1 week ago:
Perhaps one of these
- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 1 week ago:
Honestly, a swarm of O’Neil cylinders would have more surface area than the planet Earth and need less mass than one of Mars’ moons. That would be vastly superior to even a duplicate Earth of nothing but nature preserves
- Comment on Payment Processors Are Pressuring Major Gaming Vendors to Pull LGBTQ+ and NSFW Titles 1 week ago:
Well if we wanted to pressure payment processors. We need only stop using them for about a month. Just use only cash.
- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 1 week ago:
But the moon itself supports life just fine (we contaminated it back when we landed on the moon); we have grown plants on the moon successfully. Are the sci-fi writers explicitly ignoring what we have known for decades to justify a poorly thought out plan to do a search and replace movie?
- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 1 week ago:
A planet with air they can’t breathe and with life forms that want them dead…
- Comment on Avatar (the one with the blue aliens) is such a weird franchise 1 week ago:
Given that they could accelerate masses to relativistic speeds. It never made sense to me why they bothered to do anything other than shatter the planet (a Chevy engine block could do that job at those speeds) and then collect the now more readily available unobtainium from the vacuum of space with no fighting required or any loses of any kind.

That already exists
- Comment on Pharmacies shouldn’t give pill bottles 1 week ago:
You are correct; child care requires a much more complex subject than just put drugs up.
Locked medicine cabinets don’t stop kids that figure out lock picking. Two year old children figure out child proof packaging. That is why as a parent you actively care for your children and teach them the why and how of the world.
- Comment on Pharmacies shouldn’t give pill bottles 1 week ago:
Well some medicines are so cheap that the manufacturers sell them in 2000 to 50000 pill bottles and the pharmacy just counts out 30-60 pills and sells them to people for $1 or $2
- Comment on Pharmacies shouldn’t give pill bottles 1 week ago:
perhaps concrete examples from the world of materials science might help lead the conversation in a more productive direction.
aluminized paper is a better oxygen barrier than plastic and just as effective for keeping moisture out.
And I am not trying to solve a problem, I am exploring the idea space around a shower thought.
