- Comment on Dragon Age veteran says scrapped Anthem Next "could have been" up there with No Man's Sky's legendary turnaround 3 days ago:
I think the worst thing BioWare did was ban people for loot exploiting when all they were doing was flying around in a loop collecting chests as they spawned. The players weren’t doing anything the game didn’t allow and banning them really created vitriol in the community. When added to the lack of end game, the player base just never got any growth momentum. It was really sad, because I was a huge BW fan and that game plus the loss of the Doctors really wrecked them (thanks EA /s). You could see the potential in Anthem, but it felt like a a great game engine waiting for the game to be written for it (honestly similar to pre-Forsaken Destiny 2, but even that had more content).

So we should make Alex Jones and Stephen Miller missions to train people for the sequels?

- Comment on US | Supreme Court takes case that could strip FCC of authority to issue fines 3 days ago:
So IRS cannot fine individual taxpayers without a jury trial? Or does this reasoning only apply to our corporate overlords?
- Comment on 19 'mass extinctions' had CO2 levels we're now veering toward, study warns 2 weeks ago:
I am imagining “hunters” swarming into the forest and exterminating everything edible within a couple of weeks like a plague of locusts. Even if they were hunters, it wouldn’t help them.
- Comment on Why Are Cars Getting Rid Of Android Auto? 2 weeks ago:
They think they’ll get more money, but they don’t realize that people won’t even consider their cars due to lack of integration. I recently bought a used car for my kid. One of the nicer ones I looked at didn’t work with his phone, so we eliminated it from consideration.
- Comment on Are we deprogramming empathy in the US? 3 weeks ago:
I have no empathy nor sympathy left for the right. I would like for them all to bleed out through their eyeballs.
- Comment on Palestinian shot dead at close range by IDF in West Bank; IDF says he threw a brick 3 weeks ago:
I suppose it is anti-Semitic to ask why he might have thrown a brick? Do they even have proof that he threw a brick?
- Comment on Burger King now selling "Mystery" menus 1 month ago:
Yeah, baseball cards are a thing. My Dad had them as a kid in the 40s and 50s and they were not new then.
- Comment on PIGS GONNA PIG 2 months ago:
This is just the beginning. Facial recognition rolling out. Your doorbell cam probably already supports it. Outstanding warrants? They’ll know where you are. Overstayed you visa? The facial recognition found you.
You weren’t home when the crime was committed, and we don’t have any camera records of you being anywhere else, so now you are a suspect.
Hope I am just being paranoid, but I’m too cynical to be optimistic at this point.
- Comment on Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises 2 months ago:
Boomers were buying houses 45 years ago. Buy 30 years ago they were on their third or fourth move. I think the struggle of buying a $35,000 house on an annual $12k salary was a little different than the fantasy of buying a $500k house on a $36k salary.

- Comment on New Study: Global Fertility Rate Decline Now Linked Directly to the Commodification of Housing 2 months ago:
I have a single child and I regret bringing him into this hell hole planet. I strongly believe that we are on the verge of ecological ruin. The oceans are overfished and becoming dangerously acidic. Drinkable water is being depleted. Soil nutrients are declining. Fascism is rising rapidly. We’re on the wrong side of the Hubbert curve, so everything is going to get progressively more expensive. Food production will drop as we lose the inputs for the Haber Bosch process. The decline will not be linear and some of the tipping points are already in our rear view mirror.
The cost of housing is just one of many reasons why people might not want children, although normalcy bias hides the truth from many.

- Comment on Nearly 50% of Gen Z Say They’re Too Burnt Out to Work 2 months ago:
Just wait until they are Gen X age. Decades of this beating, still no real political power, and it seems to be getting worse rather than better. I can’t wait to lose my job to an AI that can’t actually do what I do, so that I can starve to death like some pathetic Dostoevsky character.

8,000 species of termites survived the flood, implying that Noah had them on his wooden boat. Of course, Noah is an idiot.
- Comment on Nearly 3 in 5 American workers say they're behind on retirement savings. The other two are working until they drop dead 3 months ago:
I’m doing both. Hope I die young at my desk to demoralize my coworkers, especially the young ones. Can really harm productivity long term that way.
- Comment on Australia’s under 16s social media ban could extend to Reddit, Twitch, Kick, Roblox, Steam, GitHub, YouTube, TikTok, Pinterest, Discord and even dating apps 3 months ago:
Can we keep me safe from Pinterest? I would really like to exclude it from my search results on a permanent basis without having to explicitly filter it in my query.

- Comment on Trump Admin to Withhold Disaster Aid from Any State or City That Boycotts Israeli Products 5 months ago:
Waiting for “you said starving children is evil,” so we’re cancelling your social security for anti-Semitism.
“I didn’t say anything about Jews or Israel.”
“Bullshit, we all know Israel is starving Palestinians children.”
“I was talking about defunding free and reduced lunches for American school children.”
“Doesn’t matter, anti-Republican comments also warrant a cancellation of your social security.”
- Comment on A cancer diagnosis can cause out-of-pocket costs to surge, even for those with insurance 5 months ago:
From the department of duh?
My employer has over 100k employees, and our insurance is pretty typical for a big US company. I hit my out of pocket maximum ($7500) two years in a row after my wife’s cancer diagnosis. I am certain that I am in the minority in being able to afford an unexpected $15,000 expense. It sucked for me and changed a bunch of plans. Many people would probably find themselves servicing an additional difficult debt at one of the most difficult moments of their life.
If you don’t have insurance, I don’t know what you would do. The total bills were hundreds of thousands of dollars.

- Comment on What's the best way to respond to a family member who says the COVID vaccines are being used to depopulate? 6 months ago:
One of the reasons i don’t make policy decisions: my solution yo the antivax problem is to develop a bioweapon and a corresponding vaccine. Secretly add the new vaccine into all other vaccines for two years. Warn people that the coming flu season is going to be bad and that a new dangerous strain of covid is spreading to increase vaccination rates. Then deploy the bioweapon. No more antivaxxers.
