lol isn’t he the asshole who doesn’t let you turn off the terrible music? get fucked bro
- Comment on VPN firm says it didn’t know customers had lifetime subscriptions, cancels them 1 day ago:
lol some people who bought a “lifetime” sub really just bought another one from the people who just diarrhea’d all over them?
i’ll never understand people
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 2 days ago:
my amusement at people getting argumentative over someone having the gumption to reject flying altogether doesn’t mean i “don’t want arguments or downvotes.” on the contrary, that makes the whole thing even more amusing to me. there seems to be this attitude of “flying is just something people do” regardless of all the ridiculous news articles—monthly at least, sometimes weekly—about some terrible thing airlines are doing, or boing planes falling out of the sky, or someone’s cat arriving dead, and people who put up with it can’t seem to stand that i don’t. “a different opinion” indeed.
- Comment on [Opinion] Unending ransomware attacks are a symptom, not the sickness 2 days ago:
my state mandated some minimum security standards for state-run orgs, like MFA etc. which are on the whole woefully inadequate. but also the budgets for IT depts haven’t gone up. so the same handful of underpaid IT guys (who regularly and rightly get poached) are saddled with an extra mountain of work while they’re already stretched to the limit. this is all YOUR data that’s housed in a straw hut surrounded by huffing and puffing wolves
- Comment on End of 10 is a campaign to move people over to Linux with Windows 10 support ending 2 days ago:
the copilot nonsense really irked me, but it was then they had the gumption to force this absurd recall bullshit on everyone–that’s when i said i’m done, no more windows, no more M$
it’s obviously a “feature” they sold to senior executive board members so that middle managers could spy on their cubicle drones, but to have the gumption to try and convince the world that this was something we wanted? get fucked microsoft

its called “a different opinion”
yea. that’s what i have. you should be explaining this to the people who are arguing/downvoting
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 4 days ago:
lol there’s always at least one who simply can’t comprehend it
Most of those issues are easily avoided anyway
yea. i avoid all of it by NOT FLYING. i’ve seen enough of the world that i don’t need to see anymore, certainly not by flying there. we all make decisions about what we’ll allow to be a part of our lives, and flying is not one of those things for me. i’m glad you’re fine with all the insufferable bullshit associated with it. and you get paid to do it. good for you. i don’t know how much money it would take to get me to ever get on a plane again, but i can guarantee it would be a lot more than you’re getting
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 4 days ago:
you mean other than the delayed flights, canceled flights, overbooked flights, luggage limits, luggage fees, lost luggage, destroyed luggage, airport “limos,” airport parking, absurdly overpriced everything, hourslong layovers, tiny seats that are filthy with dried up mystery condiments, screaming infants, and whatever else i might have left out? there’s also the people who, for some reason i can’t begin to fathom, seem to feel the need to come to poor flying’s rescue and “but…the time you save by flying!!!”
nope. if i can’t get there in time by driving, then i’m not getting there. sorry not sorry
- Comment on Did you know? 4 days ago:
i get it: you’re making a generalizing statement about generalizations being wrong, which makes the statement wrong
- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 4 days ago:
it’s amazing to me how the list of reasons i’ll never fly again just keeps getting longer and longer by the day

you don’t “lose” a meta account. you’re liberated from it
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
what’s hilarious is they could be out on the street freezing and starving to death and they STILL will bleat their praises for dear leader trump, rather than admit that maybe they’ve been completely utterly 100% conned by the con man everyone’s been calling a con man for the last several decades
- Comment on Things are getting really crazy. 1 week ago:
it’s like that south park episode where prof chaos is trying to come up with an evil plan for world domination, but can’t because the simpsons already did it
except it’s real life
- Comment on Why does it seem like everyone is so good looking and beautiful nowadays? 2 weeks ago:
believe it or not, there is such a thing as looking “good enough” in any situation. spending this much time comparing yourself to everyone else-- you’re in for an exhausting life

- Comment on US small business owner says China tariffs endanger her company: ‘I could lose my home’ 4 weeks ago:
“No one deserves this. No one. Regardless of who they voted for,” she said. “Trump said he was going to do tariffs. We knew that. Yes, we knew tariffs were coming. I would have never in a million years guessed it would be like this.”
A) yes. yes, trump voters absolutely fucking do deserve every bad thing that happens to them
B) there are a LOT of people who are 0% surprised that a con man’s bullshit lies turned out to actually be bullshit lies - Comment on 7th-inning stretch 1 month ago:

- Comment on The System Shock 2 remaster comes out June 26th 1 month ago:
lol i share the unpopular opinion, as well as the downright hated opinion of despising infinite. everyone fell in love with elizabeth while i was thinking “this is the most annoying npc in history.” aside from that the game was meh af
- Comment on The System Shock 2 remaster comes out June 26th 1 month ago:
amazing game. bioshock was supposed to surpass it but none of them did imo. prey came close much much later. funny though, how the wrench is pretty much the best weapon in all of them

- Comment on The Tesla protests are getting bigger — and rowdier 2 months ago:
fair enough. i still say fuck’em. there are many more people much more deserving of my sympathy than fucking tesla owners
- Comment on The Tesla protests are getting bigger — and rowdier 2 months ago:
i’m gonna lean on the side of “fuck that shit” on this one. buying a tesla is a choice. maga are terrorizing people for things they didn’t choose like skin color, gender, sexual orientation, etc, and that list will only get longer
fuck tesla, and fuck tesla buyers. unlike their holy godman idol musk, i value empathy. but not for people who pridefully show none of it themselves
- Comment on Every morning when I read the latest news 2 months ago:
do yourself a favor, take a week off (at least) from the news. you can safely assume it’s going to be bad and there’s nothing being done about it, but you’ll notice an improvement in your mental health. nothing in the world changes when you stop doomscrolling, only changes in yourself
- Comment on Day 231 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing until l forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
i’m still amazed every time i see shots of this game from 2018. everything else, even other great games, seem halfass by comparison
