- Comment on Airlines Are Selling Your Data to ICE 3 days ago:
That’s because Congress defunded Amtrak years ago while giving subsidies to airlines. We’re rebuilding a rail world. Cities and even suburbs are revitalizing. It’s a question of time before there is movement here.
- Comment on We have reached the “severed fingers and abductions” stage of the crypto revolution - Ars Technica 4 days ago:
Yeah that’s probably the single most useful comment in reddit history
- Comment on Reddit CEO Steve Huffman says Reddit will work with “various third-party services” to verify a user's humanity, after an unauthorized AI persuasion experiment 5 days ago:
#2 is the most likely outcome
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 6 days ago:
Also these first impression moments are good because you can predict how they would treat you if you worked there. I walked away super annoyed and didn’t care that I didn’t get called back in. I was way overqualified for the position but was also desperate for one since I had just moved back to the country and needed to sponsor my spouse for residency.
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 6 days ago:
Based on the context and my own personal experience as a person who has interviewed hundreds as a hiring manager --not syaing I do this, just that I understand-- they said “HEY FRANK WE NEED YOU TO SIT IN THIS INTERVIEW IN 30 MINUTES. K THANKS” and Frank showed up and tried to pretend that he knew what was going on.
- Comment on Not difficult to understand 6 days ago:
An idiot asked me that once when I had just finished my masters. Like did you read my resume?
- Comment on Reddit Plans Extra Verification Steps To Detect The Human-Like AI Bots 1 week ago:
Sounds like Reddit wants to ensure that 90%+ of all traffic gets blocked.
- Comment on Feds Threaten Wikipedia After Right-Wing Media Uproar 1 week ago:
It’s not that there is no danger, but I don’t see anything immediate.
- Comment on Feds Threaten Wikipedia After Right-Wing Media Uproar 1 week ago:
Does Wikipedia receive federal funding? If not, people can shut right up.
- Comment on N the digital age, it's going to be harder for ICE agents to hide their identities than it was for Nazis trying to evade justice post WW2. 2 weeks ago:
They did it during Black Lives Matter. Would cover their faces, remove their badges, and use rental cars to pull people off the street and disappear them. It’s happening now with ICE.
- Comment on In a Boon for Tesla, Feds Weaken Rules for Reporting on Self-Driving 2 weeks ago:
It won’t help Tesla one wit. They are going to collapse.
- Comment on Instagram is using AI to find teens lying about their age and restricting their accounts 3 weeks ago:
My point was more that they will believe they have created a scalpel but it’s actually a cudgel. They aren’t as clever as they think they are and will mess up here.
- Comment on Instagram is using AI to find teens lying about their age and restricting their accounts 3 weeks ago:
I hadn’t considered that, but looking at Elon as an example, yes, this is likely.
- Comment on Instagram is using AI to find teens lying about their age and restricting their accounts 3 weeks ago:
I have no faith in their AI efforts. They are going to flag so many random accounts.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
It’s a high-crime high-drug use area. This policy is on purpose. His needs are secondary to their security.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
Maybe the manager has no choice and my brother is an insecure idiot who made his insides become other people’s problem.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
My question was rhetorical. The point is that many people have very poor financial decision making skills.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
You remind me of my brother. He was taking a medication that caused some intestinal issues. While going to my sister’s wedding, he stopped at a Safeway and asked to use the bathroom. The manager said that it is closed after 9:00 so my brother went back to his car, got a roll of toilet paper, then went back to the entrance of Safeway and pooped inside. He needed to project his internal feelings at other people or the places and was actually proud of himself. This is one of many reasons that I keep a polite distance from him. There are far better ways to interact with the world, and that starts with figuring out what triggers feelings of insecurity and working on them.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
No. I want you to feel better.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
Again where are people getting that sort of money?
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
I know that you feel insecure. I see you. It’s ok, but you can get through life without lashing out.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
LOL I love this idea that some men with guns can stand up to some dude in a mountain flying a drone.
- Comment on Americans Are Preparing for When All Hell Breaks Loose 4 weeks ago:
Where do people get the money to stock up on guns? They are friggin expensive.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 5 weeks ago:
Yes. They will also sacrifice their own children and their wellbeing.
- Comment on People giving swags 5 weeks ago:
LOL at that first person taking the bait (or being a bot).
- Comment on If restaurants just microwave their food can I just get the frozen version and cut out the middle man? 5 weeks ago:
The ones sold in supermarkets are not the same as what are distributed to restaurants. Plus, you don’t have the right equipment to make it the same way as the restaurant.
- Comment on Important information about compatibility of Nintendo Switch games with Nintendo Switch 2 1 month ago:
The ones that require you to insert the switch into them make sense. There are no excuses for the remainder.

Aren’t you enjoying your lower egg and gas prices? Thanks Daddy Trump.
- Comment on Roman numerals could be based on what your hand looks like when you count. 1 month ago:
Masters in classics here. They literally are, even the number 4. Look at a watch with Roman numerals and notice that the 4 is “IIII”.
I = 1 finger … V = open hand … X = two open hands next to each other
- Comment on Trump threatens 'far larger' tariffs if EU and Canada unite to do 'economic harm' to the U.S. 1 month ago:
Someone like 40 years ago told him what they are. He did not understand and keep repeating the mistake.
