  Yup. It attacks one of their core beliefs and makes them so damn mad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump cosplaying⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Bob Altemeyer explains the phenomenon well in The Authoritarians. It’s literally how their brains are wired. The book is free here: theauthoritarians.org

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Trump cosplaying⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes. Half the country thinks Trump is for the little guy and Harris is an elitist asshole.

  Trump was born rich. Harris grew up middle class and a member of two minority groups. The problem is the democrats are shit at messaging. It’s why Walz calling republicans weird took off. Democrats don’t usually come up with sound bites like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sympathy for their PTSD⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am so sorry for what you’re going through, and for what my country (the US) is paying for. But please don’t begrudge yourself a small break. You can’t help others if you can’t even stand up.

  I’m so, so sorry. I wish our politicans would listen when we tell them to stop this madness.

  This is a joke post, right? Sarcasm? Right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more for things like the batgirl movie that is finshed but will make more money in tax write offs to never release it. But if they lose ad revenue from removing a back catalogue, that may also let them post a loss and claim tax breaks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Beware Hollywood’s digital demolition: it’s as if your favourite films and TV shows never existed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The simple answer to this is to change the tax code to not allow for write offs for completed projects. And to shorten how long copyright lasts (fuck Disney so much for that one)

  Yeah but they’ll hide behind their corporation so there’s no “person” to throw in prison.

  Corporations aren’t people no matter what the supreme court says

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nintendo Targets YouTube Accounts Showing Emulated Games⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I would assume a company such as sony or nintendo lobbied for that law.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m guessing you’re not American.

  Very likely. Every worker is replacable and they may be able to replace you for less money too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This isn’t as easy for immigrants. If they’re on a work visa and lose their job, they can be deported. So many will stay for fear of being fired.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you mean the bridge in baltimore? We lost 6 immigrants on that one, all of them with families. It’s heartbreaking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You'll have to use pto time to drown, but make sure it's approved first⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope the management gets wrongful death suits launched against them

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit is making sitewide protests basically impossible⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This place feels like old reddit. When we could have actual discussions and not just be downvoted by bots. It’s so much better here

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I doubt the saudis will be very happy if Musk doesn’t repay them their investment. I’m surprised they haven’t threatened him into stepping down and handing their investment to someone who can properly manage a social media platform already

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Elon Musk’s X is now worth less than a quarter of its $44 billion purchase price⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  And may it continue to crash and burn. It’s just 4 chan at this point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon tech workers leaving for other jobs in response to return to office mandate⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They may not want them, but with how many people are switching to things like AWS, they may find they need them.

  And it will ultimately cost them more to find new people when they realize that they’re pissing off their customers with their poor new hires.

  I will be happy to watch them squirm when they come to this realization. Karma is a bitch, Amazon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Smart TVs take snapshots of what you watch multiple times per second⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Because that’s a chinese corporation making money.

  It’s fine when a US one does it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI Execs Mass Quit as Company Removes Control From Non-Profit Board and Hands It to Sam Altman⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you can’t make money without stealing copywritten works from authors without proper compensation, you should be shut down as a company

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Don’t ever hand your phone to the cops⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Do you have a warrant? Then sorry officer I will not hand it over per my fifth amendment right.

  From there just say you’re not saying anything else without a lawyer and then just keep demanding a lawyer.

  Yes. The cop will get pissed off. But better him mad then you spending years trying to get out of a bogus charge because of some bullshit they found on your phone. Better to be annoying and demand to speak to a lawyer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk’s plan to axe X's block button is a real win for stalkers and abusers.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  City council meetings are public meetings. But if you go in there and start swearing your head off and using the N-word you will be removed because you are distupting the ability of rational people to have a discussion.

  Twitter has decided to let these freaks scream their heads off. This disrupting its ability to be used as a public forum. It is no longer a public forum. It’s just 4Chan now. Sane people wanting to have discussions don’t use 4Chan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Good to know because the gen zer at work said she never learned it. So it may be up to each school district.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned mine playing a MUD

  You typed fast or you died.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re not even teaching them cursive anymore and they still can’t type? What are they doing in schools?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨stop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Reality is you are not going to convince the entire world to turn to a vegan lifestyle. Period. And if you attack people for not wanting to change, you are going to make them resist that change more.

  We don’t have the economics for everyone to suddenly become vegan - it’s fucking expensive. We also don’t have the nutritional education for everyone to suddenly become vegan. People have to be willing to research that in order to not malnourish themselves. And most people are simply too lazy to do that.

  Not to mention the massive amounts of food deserts in the country that would make finding vegan options for a fully vegan diet impossible.

  Asking everyone in the world to live off vegetables and supplements is insane. We are not there as a society yet. And I have no intention of driving a hummer. It’s too damn expensive.

  Just like eating a proper vegan diet is if you’re actually trying to meet all your nutrients.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨stop⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t hate vegans in general. I hate it when they prostelytize at me and try to shame me into being vegan. And this it the problem many people have. There is a vocal minority of vegans that will attack others for not sharing their lifestyle (I’m looking at you, PETA). I have no interest in giving up meat. I will pick more sustanable meat sources sure, but i will not be attacked for my choices.

  Don’t come after me, I won’t come after you. I likely will even try to bring a vegan option to a pot luck for you.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The US federal loophole that allows food companies to decide what's safe for you to eat⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Spoken like a rich snob who has never had to work 3 jobs to make ends meet.

  Prepping fresh food takes time most Americans don’t have. Our system is set up so only the wealthy have time to cook.

  We need better safety nets and higher pay in order for people to simply have enough time to eat.

  Day one it would be the most popular site on the internet.

  And they are now bringing that problem to Texas. Along with a bunch of liberals.

  Good. Texas is a big enough state it should be blue.

  You can. It would just be the old school version also called theft.
