- Comment on What anime has the best worldbuilding? 28 minutes ago:
Pedo shit.
- Comment on SEC says it will deregulate cryptocurrencies with 'Project Crypto' 5 days ago:
For some, that is the point.
- Comment on No LUFS regulations are the reason you use subtitles to watch TV – Tom Scott YT (7:58) 1 week ago:
You clearly don’t remember the days of live close captions. Hoo-boy, it’s like you could pinpoint the moments the transcriber lost their focus.
- Comment on Watermarks offer no defense against deepfakes, study suggests 2 weeks ago:
There is a solution, but y’all aren’t going to like it.
The solution is blockchain. Actually, it’s even worse, the solution is NFT’s.
Not the scammy, crypto bro, nonsense it has been used for; but the actual technology.
A cryptographically secure digital token that can track where something was made, where it’s being used, who has the rights to it, and ensures that it’s authentic and not some copy made with AI.
Unfortunately, thanks to crypto bros, the technology has become so tainted by scams that most people get upset just hearing the letters NFT, so adoption isn’t likely.

I can hear this
- Comment on I'm setting up a Windows 11 laptop for my uncle. Is there a sneaky way to make it block right-wing bullshit websites? 2 weeks ago:
Your situation just got a whole lot easier. No need to block right wing sites on his PC, just block them on your network.
- Comment on Hotels have developed a new revenue stream: "algorithmic" smoke detectors 2 weeks ago:
You should go on a walk outside. Go find your nearest tree, see the way the bark grows, see the little bugs that call it home and the tiny ecosystem that tree supports. Go to the nearest rock. Spend some time admiring its strata, think about how it got there over millions and millions of years. Feel the sunshine on your face. Feel the wind ripple through your hair.
Do all this, then come back and re-read what you wrote.
- Comment on Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials 3 weeks ago:
I think the question is, why are you bringing up millennials when the issue of microplastics did not start with them, nor will it end with them.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 4 weeks ago:
From a selfish perspective, why should the entire populace be forced to give up small luxuries in their increasingly difficult lives just so that a handful of large corporations don’t have to make any changes?
Why isn’t it that these large corporations should be forced to change, thus removing the need for everyone getting rid of their small luxuries?
Just seems ridiculous that the message is “everyone should give up their creature comforts and live as simply and tediously as possible so that billionaires don’t have to change”.

You’re standing next to a factory next to extremely loud machinery and complaining about the guy whispering next to you.
- Comment on Desperate search for missing girls as Texas flood death toll rises 4 weeks ago:
What in the actual fuck is wrong with you? Go say that, out loud, in front of a mirror and think about your life.
- Comment on The Prime Reasons to Avoid Amazon 4 weeks ago:
I have yet to see a single item have a significant discount on prime day, it’s not even a sale.
- Comment on PSA for those in America 4 weeks ago:
At this point. I just block anyone I see using the em dash. Will a few false positives slip in? Sure, but I’m confident that I’m blocking more bots than nots.
- Comment on On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android. 4 weeks ago:
Pixel has a built in feature that screens my calls and sends spammers to a bot. Graphene has no equivalent to this.
- Comment on Here is another cozy co-op game recommendation 5 weeks ago:
Explore, gather, craft, and build
Pass. Such a tired genre at this point.
- Comment on A very curious situation indeed 5 weeks ago:
Wear pants.
- Comment on Get Back! 5 weeks ago:
You know what’s awesome about humor? Out of all the positive emotions, it’s the only one that is never fully eaten by depression. I think that’s kind of awesome about the human mind, that even in the deepest darkest pit, there is always some laughter to be found.
- Comment on It is what it is 1 month ago:
I really don’t have the time, or the interest, to explain it to you; but all of the things you linked are either hyperbole, misinformation, or straight up fabrications; a very small amount of digging will show you why. But hey, I don’t work for Brave or care if anyone uses it or not. At the end of the day, use whatever browser you’re comfortable with.
- Comment on It is what it is 1 month ago:
Yes. That is in fact what I’m saying. Brave has built in blockers for ads, trackers, and cookies. It’s default search engine is DDG instead of Google. Considering Firefox defaults to Google for searches, you’re likely giving more data to Google through Firefox than you would using Brave.
- Comment on It is what it is 1 month ago:
Firefox is also a web browser.
Oh sorry, I thought we were making meaningless comparisons.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 1 month ago:
Yea, this one isn’t an issue. If you are dropping off passengers, you are allowed to stop in a fire lane because that is not parking.
- Comment on What are your favorite Tactical RPGs? 1 month ago:
Oooh, I got you OP. If you liked the dense micro-maps of Into the Breach, check out Bad North. Defend small islands from waves of invaders with limited troops. Not an overly long game, but very satisfying for what it is.
- Comment on What's an absolutely medium quality game? Not great, incredible or terrible or any single ended extreme. Dead medium quality 1 month ago:
Ubisoft wishes they could make a game that good.
- Comment on Always nice to have a guest room 1 month ago:
I love reposts, it lets me know who I can block for posting tired old shit because they’re not creative enough to contribute anything on their own, but would still like the validation and approval as if they did.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
I’ve also never seen a fellow engineer simplify pi to just 3, although I have seen a rise of memes from people who think they do.
I would slap someone if I saw them try that, it’s unnecessarily sloppy. 3.14 is the default, and trivial to work with if you’re using a calculator (I would also slap someone if I saw them not using a calculator). Unless you just LIKE having all your calculations be off by almost 5%. Then you’ll come back wondering why so many of your parts are out of tolerance.
- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 1 month ago:
By many definitions, reasoning IS a form of pattern recognition so the lines are definitely blurred.
- Comment on Rule 34 rule 2 months ago:
Comment section full of idiots thinking this is real.
- Comment on Interview: Kerrice Brooks And Bella Shephard On Why ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Is Not A YA Show 2 months ago:
…is she bleeding in her mouth?
- Comment on Hamas slams Israel for ‘horrific massacre’ of Palestinian physician’s 9 children in Khan Younis 2 months ago:
10 children?! This doctor had 10 children?!
- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 2 months ago:
I always liked the Dresden Files take on technology and magic. It’s not that they can’t exist in the same universe, it’s that magic causes absolute haywire with circuitry. So you can use technology, or you can use magic, but not both.
