- Comment on why do some straight people deny their loved ones’ homosexuality? (keyword: SOME) 4 days ago:
Mostly bigoted indoctrination they are either unwilling or incapable to deconstruct

The real crime should be not seeding after downloading, have some common courtesy

But I got mine and this free ladder
- Comment on why do transphobes mention pedophiles/compare them to pedophiles when most trans people (as do most people) hate pedophiles? 1 week ago:
It’s projection they don’t want to remove pedophiles from their own ranks, and demonizing a scapegoat minority group they can blame their own failures on.
They really wish these articles were about trans people instead of clergy

- Comment on I'm doing my part! 1 week ago:
It’s May 2024 data from 2022 respondents, biased towards people willing to respond to pretty long consumer surveys. I have similar suspicions you’d see a higher % from a larger sample size or reporting from video game platform and store owners who can differentiate that better than your average consumer.

Signatures as a form of authorization I think held up the facsimile tech way past it’s best by date

Yes, the survey summary below shows no exceptions for physical hardware vs emulation in the question
- Comment on How does this pic show that Elon Musk doesnt know SQL? 2 weeks ago:
This is it, relational databases are normalized under forms, deduplicate is usually a term used when talking about a concrete data set from data sources like a database, not the relational data model in the database itself.
- Comment on New Bill to Effectively Kill Anime & Other Piracy in the U.S. Gets Backing by Netflix, Disney & Sony 3 weeks ago:
Even if it passed making piracy super extra illegal+ it’s targeting google and cloud flare to block access to sites within 15 days that could still easily be reached outside their boundaries. It’s political theater for mpaa riaa etc industry association lobbyists to show they got something for their bribes.
- Comment on Why I am not impressed by A.I. 3 weeks ago:
I’ve already had more than one conversation where people quote AI as if it were a source, like quoting google as a source. When I showed them how it can sometimes lie and explain it’s not a primary source for anything I just get that blank stare like I have two heads.
- Comment on Are there any better mechanical keyboards that don't break the bank? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve got a pair of vortex pok3r 60%'s that I’ve used daily for around a decade with no issues, each were under 100 USD, they might have inexpensive keyboards with the features you’re looking for. Before that I used a keytronic that was built like a tank but not a mech.
- Comment on Should I get a drum kit, or a pressure washer? 1 month ago:
Don’t buy a pressure washer, rent one. You won’t need it very often, and if you do consider a business it’ll let you try one or two first before committing to a purchase. Also learning a musical instrument is really fulfilling for a lot of people.
- Comment on what was the last game you played in 2024? 1 month ago:
To the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day Hardly spoke to folks around him, didn’t have too much to say No one dared to ask his business, no one dared to make a slip For the stranger there among them had a big iron on his hip Big iron on his hip

I’ve listened for over 21 years and they have an obvious bias against unsubstantiated claims.
- Comment on It's pretty cruel, particularly for non-native English speakers, that 'lose' and 'loose' seemingly switched spellings, meanings and pronunciations with each other when no one was looking 3 months ago:
Lowe’s loose lows lose loss.
- Comment on If Nintendo went belly up today the retro community would have a field day 3 months ago:
They don’t have to stop selling their work after the copyright expires, it’s just they no longer own a legal monopoly on it after they’ve had time to get the first to market purchases. Publishers, streamers, etc all carry works in the public domain currently.
- Comment on If Nintendo went belly up today the retro community would have a field day 3 months ago:
Copyrights should be max 5 years

You’re right, I thought it was hold not elected.
- Comment on USA President term limits 3 months ago:
If they followed the law as written it would go to the next person in order of succession, the congressional house speaker, because he would be ineligible to hold the office after the second term.
- Comment on Has Fast Food Gotten Worse, or Am I Just Getting Old? 3 months ago:
Not just fast food, chains and franchises in general. Local only may be more of a quality gamble when trying things out but when you find that unassuming diner or small restaurant that takes pride in their daily soups, and doesn’t do delivery or apps, and closes at reasonable times for their workers, and is usually packed on weekends, you’ve found something special.
