- Comment on If donald j trump was replaced with a body double some time in the last 15 years, would you even care? 6 days ago:
I would, because I don’t think this current body will last much longer.
If they replaced him who knows how long he’ll be around?!
- Comment on it's true 6 days ago:
We still have people out in the fields picking vegetables. It’s not a solved problem.
- Comment on it's true 6 days ago:
It’s more labor intensive, especially for corn. You can’t just run a big harvester over the field, someone has to go out and pick it.
- Comment on Starting to think affluenza might be a real thing. 1 week ago:
There are degrees of sickness, right? An asshole business owner who feels entitled to run red lights and speed because they’re white and have a nice car and know the police chief’s son probably doesn’t need life imprisonment or execution.
I mean, I wouldn’t really be too upset if they were executed, but it just seems wasteful.
On the other end, people in the Epstein files might need to be hospitalized for more than a single human lifetime.
- Comment on Starting to think affluenza might be a real thing. 1 week ago:
The “monster” framing precludes the idea that they even can be rehabilitated. Monsters don’t get healing, they just need to be put away or executed. That’s still an improvement over letting them run rampant, but it’s a waste.
- Comment on Starting to think affluenza might be a real thing. 1 week ago:
So what if it is?
It doesn’t change the fact that they need to be involuntarily committed for rehabilitation and have their assets seized. For their health.
- Comment on Why do some users have zero upvotes on their posts/comments? 1 week ago:
skill issue
- Comment on Just say the word 1 week ago:
Naw that’s just rent in LA.
- Comment on send pics 1 week ago:
On the other hand, she dodged a bullet.
- Comment on No, I don't think I will 1 week ago:
We know you have sugar water in there!
- Comment on We could build a solar lazer with a ton of mirrors 1 week ago:
Lasers are coherent, I think you need a lasing medium for that.
You could focus the light into a single point, sure, but that’s not really a laser in the technical sense.
- Comment on The TV industry finally concedes that the future may not be in 8K 2 weeks ago:
They don’t want IMAX in your living room, they want IMAX in the IMAX theater, where you pay a premium for their service.
- Comment on If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat 2 weeks ago:
There’d also be people who refuse to eat human meat and everyone else would make fun of them.
- Comment on Women receive more hatred for defending themselves against violence than men do being pedophile rapists 2 weeks ago:
Women receive hatred for being assaulted.
- Comment on California governor Gavin Newsom accuses TikTok of suppressing content critical of the current US president Donald Trump 2 weeks ago:
It was the exact same motivation under Biden, they just had the self-awareness to know that they needed to pretend.
- Comment on YSK: 1930s Germany used Jim Crow America as a model, which was a resurgence of Antebellum American racist policies — segregation, imprisonment, enslavement, and homicide. 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, Germany simply reproduced colonialism internally. Everything they did was modeled after things settler-colonies had already done, the difference was that it was being done to Europeans this time instead of Africans or Native Americans or Asians.
- Comment on Exclusive: Amazon plans thousands more corporate job cuts next week 3 weeks ago:
Recession.
- Comment on How to vote? 5 weeks ago:
That’s still consistent, normal people don’t want people they disagree with to be seen by other people.
Only debate perverts would upvote something they disagree with, because they want people to see it.
- Comment on How to vote? 5 weeks ago:
I see voting as decentralized moderation, not as an expression of agreement or like or something.
Upvote means “I want people to see this” and downvote means “I don’t want people to see this.”
- Comment on Get on that grindset 5 weeks ago:
I think it’s more like how a rock is immune to being covered in vomit.
It’s still covered in vomit, it just can’t smell or care about it.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 5 weeks ago:
lol i fuckin got em
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 5 weeks ago:
That’s a no, isn’t it?
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 5 weeks ago:
Have you actually read anything that wasn’t assigned in school?
- Comment on Off the Rails 1 month ago:
They didn’t use the common definition, they specified the animal kingdom. That definitely includes humans.
- Comment on Off the Rails 1 month ago:
Possibly the most complex language in the animal kingdom
That… seems wrong.
- Comment on AI Electric Bills 1 month ago:
Make every kWh above the average power draw have a higher cost, that increases further with every additional kWh.

<to the tune of the song of the same name by the Red Hot Chili Peppers> - Comment on The dominoes are falling: motherboard sales down 50% as PC enthusiasts are put off by stinking memory prices 1 month ago:
Your employer already governs your livelihood through your paycheck.
That’s why employers should be elected, not just be rich people that can afford to hire workers.
- Comment on PieFed 1.4 is released - emoji, federated stackoverflow and AI content filters 1 month ago:
“Our clear cut, objectively correct moderation. Their wicked, despotic censorship.”
The fact that the original person you were arguing with got banned just makes this funnier.
- Comment on PieFed 1.4 is released - emoji, federated stackoverflow and AI content filters 1 month ago:
Oh, did it not show up on your end?
I mean the “our glorious kingdom, their wicket despot” comic. That’s what you’re doing. “Our reasonable defederation, their authoritarian censorship” - it’s fine when you and yours do it, but when it happens to you it’s tyranny!
