- Comment on US small business owner says China tariffs endanger her company: ‘I could lose my home’ 17 hours ago:
She filmed a video of herself “mid-meltdown” over the extreme tariff, posting it on her social media.
Anything for social media clout. These kinds of people get no sympathy from me.
- Comment on Ninja sword owners will be paid to surrender weapons before ban 1 week ago:
Yes, they are literally called Ninja swords in the legislation.
Yes, it is hilarious.
- Comment on Cars will need fewer screens and more buttons to earn a 5-star safety rating in Europe | Euro NCAP will introduce new testing rules in 2026 requiring physical controls for the highest safety score 5 weeks ago:
cars will need to use buttons, dials, or stalks for hazard warning lights, indicators, windscreen wipers, SOS calls, and the horn.
Not enough, in my opinion. I’ve never had a car with these on touch screens, but I can’t imagine why anyone would think it’s a good idea. I’d like entertainment centers to stop being touch screens as well, but this doesn’t go that far. Hopefully they do in the future, though, since this is a good start!
- Comment on Nepal hikes Everest climbing fee by a third 2 months ago:
Climbing this mountain used to be a feat requiring great skill, strength, and discipline of body. Unfortunately, the decision was made some time ago to increase access and feasibility of the climb, and now making the summit is simply a matter of money. No longer does climbing Everest mean a great feat to overcome by determination and will, but simply a problem that can be solved by throwing money at it.
I get it, that costs go up and so must the price to access to fund the tourism. But this is simply the next step in finalizing that climbing mount Everest is no Everest.

According to my math, your dad had you at age 68? Something is off here, even for a shitpost.
- Comment on Day 171 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 2 months ago:
Lol, yeah. I’ve done a few playthrough with some friends and one regularly walked into the fire. Always a good laugh!
There are some storyline things above ground, namely the Crater and sailboat. Those all come along via exploration, but most is underground.
What I really liked is that there’s no character exposition or beating you over the head with the story. It feeds you information slowly, sometimes disjointed. Not until the end does it make it clear what’s going on, so there’s a lot of incentive to find the next piece of story line to see if you were right in what you thought was going on.

This was one of my favorite games. It has 2 layers to keep you interested. The survival is fun, but it’s not primarily a base builder but a plotline game. You utilize your base to maintain supplies before you venture underground into caves to further the story line. Depending on how you play, half of the game or more will be in the caves progressing the story.

As with every time this is posted, someone has to come point out that this picture is completely unrelated. He had 2 prosthetics, both can be found on his Wikipedia page.
Guess I’m the one who gets to be pedantic this time!
