Or actually sitting in the smoking section because your folks are smokers. Blech!
That smell gets on everything.

And here I am all old-school, just making a list for things.

Both sides of the duopoly are shit
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 2 days ago:
8K would probably be really good for large computer monitors, due to viewing distances. It would be really taxing on the hardware if you were using it for gaming, but reasonable for tasks that aren’t graphically intense.
Computer monitors (for productivity tasks) are a little different though in that you are looking at section of the screen rather than the screen as a whole as one might with video. So having extra screen real estate can be rather valuable.
- Comment on Sam Altman Says If Jobs Gets Wiped Out, Maybe They Weren’t Even “Real Work” to Start With 3 days ago:
I get irrationally annoyed when I hear “create value” or the similar “add value.”
Sometimes there’s already enough fucking value and we don’t need more. Especially in the realm of real estate where “value” gets added to the point that people can no longer afford it.
- Comment on "You exist to make money for us" 3 days ago:
Work supports my life, not the other way around.
- Comment on "You exist to make money for us" 3 days ago:
I think this is one of those “you catch more flies with honey than with vinegar” types of deals.
- Comment on I am always prepared to move into this version of life 4 days ago:
If I couldn’t use onions or garlic, that would be a dealbreaker
- Comment on I am always prepared to move into this version of life 4 days ago:
PC or GTFO!
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 5 days ago:
I’ll probably live in 55+ housing when I’m of age. I specifically want a smaller home since I’m a bit of a minimalist, and of course the lower prices on these is a big draw.
It’s shitty that these are not generally accessible to younger people. But then the age restriction is probably what keeps the prices lower by limiting the market.
- Comment on Another WSJ banger about why the poors aren't doing more 5 days ago:
The housing market is just a big fucking pyramid scheme.
Stocks go up and up and up too, but they aren’t an essential good (e.g. shelter) or even tied directly to any day-to-day utility. They can also be cut into smaller increments by splitting or via fractional shares, so they remain accessible even to people with modest amounts of money to invest.
Real estate as a speculative investment has been hugely detrimental to society.
- Comment on Apparently Palantir can access the content of social media accounts that were deleted a decade ago. 1 week ago:
It seems like these sorts of things can be used against you, but whenever it might actually benefit you they always come up short.
- Comment on coping 1 week ago:
Everyone driving slower than me = doesn’t know how to drive
Everyone driving faster than me = crazy, reckless driver
- Comment on Executions in Florida and Missouri as 4 days of state-sanctioned killings begin 1 week ago:
I’m more concerned about crimes perpetrated by the state than I am street criminals. And history is rather clear on this as well.
- Comment on Executions in Florida and Missouri as 4 days of state-sanctioned killings begin 1 week ago:
Also incentivizes fighting to the death rather than allowing yourself to be taken into custody alive.
The death penalty breaks the social contract regarding peaceful surrender to law enforcement.
- Comment on A young woman was sexually assaulted while out DoorDashing. Two days after she reported the assault to DoorDash, they deactivated her account and she can't access the money she's owed. 1 week ago:
Classic “ESH” (everyone sucks here). As much as people like to pick a good guy and bad guy, a very significant percentage of shitty situations come down to ESH.
- Comment on Buying a best-of-album is like giving the artist/label money for a playlist of their songs they created 1 week ago:
I remember in high school one of my friends bought one of these, not knowing what it was. He was so pissed and called it a knock-off.
- Comment on On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not. 1 week ago:
I run everything I can on my phone, and lots of things on my PC, through web apps rather than stand-alone apps.
- Comment on On January 1st of 2026, Texas will be required to give ID to download apps from the app stores. It doesn't matter if it's NSFW or not. 1 week ago:
Makes one think: if I’m going to deal with the same level (or worse) of authoritarianism as China, I might as well at least get the lower cost of living and better ability to be car-free that China has.
/this is rhetorical, not actually considering a relocation to China
- Comment on Two New Windows Zero-Days Exploited in the Wild — One Affects Every Version Ever Shipped 2 weeks ago:
I was curious about the “every version ever shipped.”
This gets really old school.
- Comment on some days i cant even 2 weeks ago:
How I wish active noise cancellation was a thing for rooms rather than just headphones.
This would be a game changer for people in multi-family housing.

You can stick it up your yeah! Stick it up your yeah!
- Comment on We'll never have anything like the DVD screensaver ever again 2 weeks ago:
Screensavers could still have a place for OLEDs, since they have the burn-in issue.
- Comment on New Rules Could Force Tesla to Redesign Its Door Handles. That’s Harder Than It Sounds 2 weeks ago:
Could they just use regular fucking door handles?
I remember when people kept trying to assert that Tesla is a “luxury” brand, though it seems that this pretense has finally been dropped. Even so, surely they can figure out something that doesn’t seem to be an issue for even the cheapest tier of vehicles available in USDM.

Would color text on color background foil this? Red text on a green background, etc
- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 2 weeks ago:
So you’re denying that iPhone have security issues?
- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 2 weeks ago:
Yes, this is why Androids and iPhone have different security issues.
- Comment on Hackers can steal 2FA codes and private messages from Android phones 2 weeks ago:
Alternately: I was mentioning this to pre-empt anyone marching in here and puffing up about iPhone.
Of course you know and understand the intent of my comment. Your bad-faith response fails to impress.
- Comment on People regret buying Amazon smart displays after being bombarded with ads 2 weeks ago:
For a TV, just don’t connect it to a network.
This doesn’t work for the Amazon Echo Show though, since internet connectivity is required for its core function.

“That giant electronic advertising billboard really tied the room together.”
“And he peed on it.”
