I just pick at them with my finger while in the shower.

Picking the mineral deposits out of ones that have become clogged is so satisfying.
- Comment on I watch the first Star Trek Discovery episode, I didn't like it. 3 days ago:
Mariner in Lower Decks is far more immature and makes far more questionable choices, but she is a beloved character. I think Burnham’s issue is that she has the emotional stability of a high schooler. You can have immature characters, you can have characters that disrespect the chain of command, you can have characters who make lots of mistakes; but you can not have characters who have a mental health crisis every other week.
Discovery is like a Star Trek show if nearly every character was some version of Lt. Barclay; crippled by their own insecurities and forced to overcome them again and again without ever seeming to actually grow out of them.

Exactly. It has to be at least 6 figures.”

Make a ring in your mind, have it spin.
Make another ring inside the first, have it spin on a different axis than the first.
Make a third ring, put it inside the first two, have it spin on a different axis than the second.
That is as far as I can go, it’s hard, but I can make it look right if I concentrate. I absolutely can not get a 4th ring into the mix, the details get fuzzy and I can’t get it to move right. How far can you go?
- Comment on If evolution is real, then why isn’t it happening now? An anthropologist explains that humans actually are still evolving 1 week ago:
Yes, but being an anti-social, shut-in can contribute to not procreating. There are definitely both physical and psychological characteristics in humans that have a better chance of procreation than others. Even if people aren’t dying from nature, Darwin will get his due.

- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 2 weeks ago:
I’m pointing out a major, physical, sign that someone is, or has, struggled with poverty and knows first hand how hard that is.
I see way too many “hot takes” on how poverty works from people who don’t have the scar, or even know what it is. To me, that’s a big red flag that they don’t know wtf they’re talking about as they haven’t experienced it.
- Comment on People who say 'the rich get richer, the lazy live for free, and the middle class pays for it all' don't realize how expensive it is to be rich and how close middle class is to being below the poverty line. 2 weeks ago:
Opposite of that. People who have been in poverty for a long time know that plasma donation is one of the ways to keep the lights on or be able to afford food that week. After repeated donations, you are left with a buildup of scar tissue.
Those who haven’t suffered in poverty may donate occasionally for a few extra bucks, or just for the sake of doing it. But only those who are doing it constantly, twice a week, every week (that’s the maximum) for a long period of time will develop a scar.

If you don’t have the poverty scar on one, or both, of your arms, I don’t want to hear shit about what you have to say on the topic of poverty.
If you don’t know what the poverty scar is, and you live in the US, then I will just assume you’ve never struggled, nor been around those who do.

- Comment on People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues 2 weeks ago:
I’ll keep telling this story as long as it remains relevant:
A few years back, I picked up AC: Black Flag in a steam sale but never got around to playing it. Well, recently I’ve been trying to clear my backlog so I decided to install it and give it a play through, because honestly the game seems like it would be right up my alley.
Unfortunately, if you have not played the game on Steam before, there was an update at some point that makes the game unplayable. And I don’t mean it’s lagging, or there are graphical issues, I mean the game won’t fucking launch. It will ask you to log into your Ubisoft account, and then once you do, nothing happens. If you launch the game again… It will ask you to log in to your Ubisoft account. Apparently this is a known issue with no fix. If you’ve previously played the game on the PC you’re using, it will remember some settings and launch. But if it’s your first time? You are SOL.
Thanks Ubisoft!

I was ready to dismiss it all as a joke, but Epstein’s brother came out and said it wasn’t about Clinton… But, pointedly, did NOT say it wasn’t about a blowjob.
So while I’m pretty sure he didn’t suck off old Bill, it’s potentially true that he did give someone a blow job.
- Comment on Red Dead Redemption Coming to Netflix, iOS, Android, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2 3 weeks ago:
Only for the small percentage of people who follow news about gaming companies. Vast majority of people haven’t heard anything negative, let alone so they give a shit. They might have ruined their reputation for you, personally; but they’re going to do just fine. Nintendo has shown that it doesn’t really matter what your company culture is or what practices you engage in; if you make fun games that are fun, people will buy them.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 3 weeks ago:
Here’s a little thought experiment: If someone offered you a magical pill that could keep you healthy and fit and you never had to work out again, would you take it?
If the answer is yes, then it’s because while you may like the results of working out; deep down you know the actual act of working out fucking sucks. If such a pill existed, you wouldn’t keep lifting weights or running on a treadmill just for the hell of it.
It’s fine to like the results of working out. Hell, I like the results. I like being healthy. I like not having heart problems. But I’m not going to fucking delude myself like a gullible idiot and say that what it takes to achieve those things is somehow enjoyable. Because it’s not. Working out is fucking awful. Just because it’s the only option doesn’t mean I have to pretend to like it.
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 3 weeks ago:
Golly gee, you’re telling me that the reason I dislike the shitty activity that sucks and make me feel terrible is only because I’m forced to do the shitty activity that sucks and makes me feel terrible? You’re saying that if I trick my brain into thinking that the shitty activity that sucks and makes me feel terrible somehow isn’t shitty, doesn’t suck, and doesn’t make me feel terrible; I’ll somehow believe it? Sorry, my brain doesn’t work like that. It tends to reject blatant fucking lies, especially when they come from myself.

This is a fucking lie. I work out to keep my blood pressure down and I HATE it. Every fucking day I hate it. “IT wIlL feEL WeIrD NOT tO HiT tHe gYm-” fuck off. No it doesn’t. Every second I’m at the gym I wish I could be laying down relaxing. It also doesn’t get easier. Oh the workouts do, but the motivation to go? The awful post-workout routine of being exhausted and needing to shower but STILL having to do all the household chores. The desire to do ANYTHING else besides go to the gym. That does NOT get easier.
I’m so fucking tired of working out. If I didn’t have blood pressure issues, there is no way in hell I would subject myself to that BS 5/7 days of the week. There is no enjoyment from this activity. People talk about post-workout endorphins and I feel like they have to be bullshitting because I’ve never felt anything of the sort. Just a vague relief that it’s over… At least for that day.

Next year, Voyager I will have traveled 1 light day. It will also be over 49 years old at that time. Think about that for a moment. Almost 50 years to travel the time it takes light to travel in a single day. Our closest star is Proxima Centauri is 4.25 light years away. To reach Proxima Centauri, Voyager I would need to travel ~77,500 years. Voyager 1 is one of the fastest man-made objects in existence and it would take longer than the entire history of civilization to arrive.
