- Comment on There's probably some kind of deal between cellphone and pants makers to keep pockets small 1 week ago:
yeah, when i’m working I end up leaving everything but my watch in my lunch pail. Half because it can be uncomfortable squatting with it and half I dont want them broken/flung or what not out.
I lept my wallet once while working…never agian. A Kid kept tapping my wallet in my pocket, repeating “Whats in your pants teacher” over and over. I was busy with other children and so had to live with that for like 30 srconds.

This is why more and more people I know are moving to mens working pants. I can fit my cellphone, sunglasses, earphones, wallet, keys, water bottle, a notepad, pen, pencil, sharpie and meal replacement shake in my pockets (I dont like carrying anything in my hand when walking to work)
- Comment on Anime Fans Score Big Win as Crunchyroll U-Turns on Massively Unpopular A.I. Plan 2 weeks ago:
You would think its hostage negotiations, boogieman sticking up companies to add A.I. or enshitify, so avoiding it is a perilous task and “big win”.
Literally, just not changing anything is now considered good.

Just when dubs were getting to a point of not being too bad. Subtitles, especially CC have felt especially bad recently. I would rather wait an extra week or two for good sub or dub then have it done poorly or flat out butcherd with A.I…

So efficient its making the army blush, makes the “3 people to sledgehammer a hdd, look, even out of context, the pinnacle of efficiency”
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 1 month ago:
Each person has thier own opinion. I have used IE, edge, before it went chromium and have used chrome. They work, and if you get into the ecosystem they work really well, but if you don’t want to be in the ecosystem or try to stop some it, I ran into problems.
When I just accepted all google ecosystem products, chrome worked great, when I needed to use alternate google accounts for school I ran into issues. So I moved to edge and it worked fine, except for with google I ran into issues, then it became chromium.
Then ads, and popups being an ad company, google doesn’t like supporting ad or content blockers, which makes sense but ublock has been so great at blocking unwanted popups and ads and as far as I am aware it doesn’t wirk as well on chromium based browsers, or at all.
So agian Chromium is a solid system and if you don’t care to change it it can work grest for you, but I found trying to change it to suit my needs as been problematic, in ways firefox or some fork of it hasn’t been.
If you are happy with Chrome or Edge or whatnot, great, there isn’t a problem but I want other options, I want more options about how it works, how it runs on my system and what data it collects or shows, things chromium doesn’t support.
- Comment on Firefox deletes promise to never sell personal data, asks users not to panic 1 month ago:
I see it said agian and agian. because its true. Firefox is one of, if not the best of the mainstream browsers. (Not included its many forks) but Mozilla is a horrible caretaker of it. Mozilla does not focus on firefox and they dont care/believe in it nearly as much as its users or devs who fork it.
The motivations of a company are extremely important, and has Mozilla does not care for a lightweight, good, privacy centric browser, the enshitification will and has corrupt firefox.
It’s only a matter of time until it is as bad as chromium or flat out joins it.

Hypocrisy. Bought some lube on amazon, and they sent a print pamphlet ad for vibrators to my parents adress addressed to me but now they want to talk about embarrassing?
- Comment on Why don't Taco Trucks have a recognizable theme song and menu like Ice Cream Trucks? 2 months ago:
Business idea, solve the moving hot food issue and find a way to cook and sling tacos on the move. I don’t go out for ice cream trucks but I would for tacos.

a surprising ammount data can be gotten off surprisingly damaged drives, there is always the possibility, thats why it took a delte/write/delete/write process, a rare earth magnet, 3 guys, a sledge hammer, and a industrial shredder to throw away a hard drive in the army.

As someone who loved the random article feature and will sometimes peruse Wikipedia at random, this is extremely fascinating to me.
- Comment on If you can’t discriminate based on age, how are there 55+ neighborhoods? 3 months ago:
That is for employment/workers, not housing. Under equal opertunity employment you cannot discriminate agianst someone 40 or over.
For fair housing, you must not discriminate, such as refuse familys with minor children, except in a number of cases,
one being if 80% of the dwellings units must have at least one occupant who is 55 years of age or older and the community is made and operates as a 55+ place.

Gotta leave for work soon, but I am in bed, scrolling here at 7am. I feel this in my sould.
- Comment on flouride 5 months ago:
I am still concerned about fluoride, but for different reasons. The federal government says there is too much natural fluoride in our water so we must import water to dilute it. The federal government doesn’t trust us with police officers, or politicians, but surely the public water company isn’t corrupt or incompetent…surely.
But hey, our teeth are really white and no ones died from flouride, far more likely to die from sudden lead.
