- Comment on The Tesseract Lemmy app shows a news source ranking from MBFC 2 weeks ago:
I blocked the bot as soon as I learned how. The ratings are a joke - mostly because of its American bias.
- Comment on Reddit plans to lock some content behind a paywall this year, CEO says | Reddit executives also discussed how they might introduce more ads into the social media platform 2 weeks ago:
So, what’s the stage after “enshitification”? “Enspezed?”
- Comment on Master Replicas Reveals New Line of Star Trek Action Figures 2 weeks ago:
I saw it. It is mildly terrifying. Those eyes…I wouldn’t be able to sleep with it in my room.
Tendi as an Orion pirate would have been a nice one.
- Comment on 'Studio Apartment, Good Lighting, Angel Included' Manga Listed to End in 8th Volume 2 weeks ago:
I watched the anime and completely forgot to check out the manga. Thanks for the inadvertent reminder!
- Comment on Master Replicas Reveals New Line of Star Trek Action Figures 2 weeks ago:
No Rutherford or T’Lyn?
- Comment on What is your favorite app for Lemmy? Include Platform 2 weeks ago:
Using Summit on Android. I tried Thunder and Jerboa, but Summit has been the best.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. Sometimes my bank account gets sad but I don’t.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 2 weeks ago:
Thanks! The next car on the list was a 2004 Honda Civic Si hatchback manual.
I honestly would have been happy with either car. Having so much fun with the Porsche though.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 2 weeks ago:
A previous owner mounted one where the cigarette lighter was. I’m going to replace it soon since it doesn’t really fit - I can’t charge my phone in the holder.
Maybe I’ll finally learn FreeCAD and print my own.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 2 weeks ago:
I was looking for a car a few months ago and was looking at newer models, used, but mostly less than a decade old. Then I started reading about all the tracking and such.
I gave in to my inner teenager and bought a 2001 Porsche 911.
The entertainment center can connect via Bluetooth but there’s no Android Auto, no navigation. It has Sirius XM but I never had a subscription to it and never will.
I might add a backup camera but that’s it. My phone is more than enough tracking, even with as much of it shut off as possible.
- Comment on Two AI-powered charter schools could soon open in Pennsylvania 3 weeks ago:
Just when you thought Pennsylvania couldn’t suck any more. If it wasn’t for the Eagles, there’d be no good news from PA.
- Comment on Volume 18 cover (Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms) 3 weeks ago:
Is that what I’m doing wrong? Should I be less useful?
- Comment on UK ‘one of world’s least work-oriented countries’ claims BrewDog founder - as he slams obsession with 'work-life balance' 1 month ago:
I think it’s pretty obvious. The moment you start treating people as resources, putting policy over people, you’ve declared that you have little to no empathy and place little value on human life, aside from your own.
- Comment on "Futari Solo Camp" Anime Adaptation Announced with Teaser Visual, PV 1 month ago:
Yeah, I might watch the first ep if it appears on my feed but I’m not going to go looking for it.
If they change that up, it’ll make a huge difference.
- Comment on "Futari Solo Camp" Anime Adaptation Announced with Teaser Visual, PV 1 month ago:
What about it was off-putting?
- Comment on Hardware recs for newb? Please. 2 months ago:
I’ll look into this. This is kinda my holiday gift to myself.
Any good sites to buy? I’m trying to avoid Walmart and Amazon.

I’m afraid that we’re going to be disappointed.
- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 3 months ago:
Not exactly. I’m eating snacks and such that have more dietary fibre and protein, less sugar and such.
Some of the crackers I snack on look like corrugated cardboard. Definitely taste better though.
A big thing has been removing pop and sugary snacks. I make my own trail mix and snack on that a lot, too.
- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 3 months ago:
Haha. I’m working on that too. Finally starting to lose fat.
- Comment on Disney Said to be Considering a Surprising Replacement for Bob Iger: EA CEO Andrew Wilson - IGN 3 months ago:
Time to emulate one of Disneys greatest heros - Captain Jack Sparrow.
- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 3 months ago:
I dropped Xitter as soon as it became apparent that Elon was going to buy it and started pirating Disney (and everyone else) shortly after. Couldn’t tell you the last time I bought anything IBM but I’ll have to be more careful about it. I’m switching to a local fiber provider so I’m leaving comcast in a couple of weeks.
- Comment on Just finished Doki Doki Literature Club, what a fucking rollercoaster 4 months ago:
Auto-correct or Freudian slip?
Either way, I’ve assed “re-ass” to my vocabulary list.
- Comment on Star Citizen Developer Cloud Imperium Games Imposes 7-Day Work Week Ahead of Citizencon 4 months ago:
I’m sure that this will result in some highly innovative and top notch updates. Star Citizen will surely be the greatest game ever. One day. After the last star has blinked out of existence.

Vista
- Comment on What is your favorite Assassin's Creed game? 5 months ago:
I really want to like AC 3 but I just can’t. I’m a big history nerd and it kinda upsets me that I don’t like the game.
I’ve bought Origins and Odyssey. I’ve started Origins a couple of times and haven’t started Odyssey. I keep getting distracted by new games. My entire library is like that. Started and unfinished or waiting to start.
- Comment on Three Mile Island nuclear plant set for restart on Microsoft AI power deal 5 months ago:
This sounds like the opening animatic for a new Fallout game.
- Comment on Does the GOP Stick Together so tightly to hide the fact that a large majority of them are involved in Pedophilia? 5 months ago:
Most of them are probably not pedophiles - they get off on the manipulation and power trip. Unfortunately, it’s that it’s easier to victimize children. They’ll victimize adults just as readily, given the opportunity.
Pedophilia is pretty rare. These folks are socio/psychopaths and narcissists - they believe that there is nothing wrong with them.
- Comment on Climate scientists flee Twitter as hostility surges 5 months ago:
Well, beehaw is kinda like ml but less hinged at times. I don’t block instances, only users and communities. Some of beehaws communities are quite good and friendly. The politics ones…well, I don’t see those anymore.
Sometimes it feels like there grownups in there who grasp nuance and empathy and at other times it feels like it’s full of ex-4channers who think they’ve grown up.
- Comment on Who had it worse: Enterprise-D or Voyager? 5 months ago:
Then you should probably sit down. It’s going to take a while.
