- Comment on If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will we party like it's 1999? 2 days ago:
That might actually be the most suspicious possible scenario you could have come up with.
- Comment on If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will we party like it's 1999? 2 days ago:
I don’t think people would take it as anything else, regardless of what the media might say.
- Comment on If Orange Dickhead dies before taking his oath again will we party like it's 1999? 2 days ago:
Well if the second president who has openly opposed the CIA is also assassinated, people might be a wee bit ticked off.

I don’t think you’d be in a very good mood for very long if that happened.
- Comment on Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe 3 days ago:
There is a certain, disturbingly large, segment of the population which doesn’t even appear to attempt to think for themselves.
- Comment on Petition calls to ban Elon Musk's X in Europe 3 days ago:
Petition calls to ban hurt feelings

Talked to a mason once who informed me that one of the first rules they have is to never watch TV or listen to the radio.

- Comment on A guy just got arrested in Houston US for allegedly being an ISIS member. I grew up in Reagan and 911 era are these people just saying this or are they actively buying bombs? 6 days ago:
I’m talking about how the united states would gather AMERICAN CITIZENS who have comitted no crimes whatsoever, send them to camps, and have them mass killed
User name checks out.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Because society is so terrified of the technologies we have created that it has adopted the ideal that everything needs to be perfect right here and now, and so any deviation from acting out that Utopian fantasy is met harshly, even though it’s obviously not true to any rational person.
- Comment on Fingerprints on ancient terracotta figurines show men, women and children worked on figurines 2 weeks ago:
Wow. So men and women are so distinct that you can even differentiate between them by their fingerprints?
- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 3 weeks ago:
We know such an infinitesimally small amount about what is actually happening in the universe that any claims to be capable of predicting it’s end are patently absurd.
- Comment on Typing monkey would be unable to produce 'Hamlet' within the lifetime of the universe, study finds 3 weeks ago:
It also makes a pretty bold claim about us actually knowing the lifespan of the universe.
- Comment on Court Orders Google (a Monopolist) To Knock It Off With the Monopoly Stuff. 3 weeks ago:
Or they’ll be fined 0.005% of their revenue for the quarter.
- Comment on Internet and smartphones have increased people sitting in their cars for extended time, but people suspicious why someone is sitting in a car for an extended time has not decreased proportionally. 3 weeks ago:
While some people may sit in their cars alone for long periods, there are many more who never do, so it’s still strange behaviour to many.
- Comment on Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children 3 weeks ago:
You can care about both issues fyi. Frankly pretending those things aren’t a serious threat makes me wonder about who you are.
- Comment on Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children 3 weeks ago:
Care to use words to express why you think having a problem with that is laughable?
- Comment on Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children 3 weeks ago:
Well I have a massive fucking problem with giving the KGB, MS13 or ISIS access to my children online.
- Comment on Norway to increase minimum age limit on social media to 15 to protect children 4 weeks ago:
That’s like putting a bandaid on a sucking chest wound.
- Comment on Mexican TikTokers have code words to report on narco-violence without getting banned. 4 weeks ago:
It’s amazing how many people will self-censor and add disclaimers when speaking irl these days.
- Comment on Mexican TikTokers have code words to report on narco-violence without getting banned. 4 weeks ago:
This is the kind of shit many of us have been trying to warn about when we push back against language police. It may be an easy argument to swallow when examples of actual bigotry are held up for you to see, but the systems which are created for such a purpose can and will be used to hide serious matters.
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 4 weeks ago:
You would be correct.
- Comment on Windows Recall is secretly installed on non-Copilot+PCs (Privacy Nightmare) 4 weeks ago:
They “trust me” dumb fucks
May not have been Gates that said it, but it embodies an attitude which appears prevalent throughout big business.
- Comment on The Tech Coup: A New Book Shows How the Unchecked Power of Companies Is Destabilizing Governance 4 weeks ago:
That’s unironically a very interesting topic. There was actually a landmark court case which insisted that a CEO must prioritize profits over human welfare.

Best I can do is more hats.

That’s all you had to say.
- Comment on Is there a name for the trope where a story is high fantasy at first glance, except for it's not fantasy and is actually set in a post-apocalypse dystopian future? 1 month ago:
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. is my personal favourite of Bruce Campbell’s work. Starts off as any ordinary western, for entire seasons, before getting very, very weird.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 1 month ago:
Come home, chill, chop some trees, level some skills, be a mage and kill some bad guys Well, that sounds a lot like what I found in Albion Online, though I can’t speak for how it’s changed. From what I understand, it has some extensive guild/clan systems too, where you can work together to build larger projects and wage war with rivals.
- Comment on Corporate greed is killing RuneScape. What do people play instead? 1 month ago:
Bit of an interesting game, when I tried it a long time ago, but it was too much of a grindfest for me. Then again, I never got into Runescape either for similar reasons.
- Comment on Big Tech’s Promise Never To Block Access To Politically Embarrassing Content Apparently Only Applies To Democrats 1 month ago:
If you think this is a partisan issue you are woefully naive to the nature of those people who seek the sorts of powers that big tech promises.
