- Comment on Comcast, Disney, and IBM Are Among Advertisers Returning to X After Ad Freeze 7 hours ago:
There nothing to counter. You just pulled this stat out of your ass and demand I debunk it. No one knows the demographic of the blank ballot voters but to not vote for Harris while still voting down ballot for other Dems suggested it was motivated by a very strong conviction.
And no misogyny and racism don’t explain it considering how many female candidates den voters elect, how even Hilary performed better, and how Obama was elected.
I really don’t care if you believe me. You liberals are controlled opposition and will continue to field right wing neoliberals and never see the white house again.

No they were not largely older white men. And the Gaza issue has a ton of support on the left which would be more readily apparent if it wasn’t so viciously censored by the media and Harris’ own administration.
- Comment on Why BlueSky Isn’t the Alternative to X (Formerly Twitter) You’re Looking For — and Why Mastodon Is the Better Choice Over X, Threads, and BlueSky 17 hours ago:
I think the bigger problem is that there’s no universal search that will find something on any of the instances you aren’t blocking.
Search is not authoritative like it is on centralized social media.

- Comment on Constellation Energy plans to invest $1.6B to revive the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania and sell all the output to Microsoft for AI energy demands. 1 month ago:
No it’s true. During clean up they were about to use a crane inside the reactor to lift a steel lid that had not been inspected that was damaged during the meltdown. The FBI stopped them at the last minute. Had the core touched the water during a meltdown it would have spread a radioactive cloud over DC and New York with enough Fallout to force them to be abandoned like Chernobyl

Wow Bethesda is really going all out to promote Fallout.

This plant, had it exploded in the 1970’s, would have made New York and Washington DC uninhabitable.

They’re going to lose. It’s only in the style of Pokemon. I know a handful of them look really similar but you can’t copyright cartoon dragons.

Yeah, being an incel isn’t an ideology. It’s a material condition.

Nope, she’ll lose the black vote for putting them into the chattel slavery prison system. She’ll lose the youth vote for supporting the Palestinian genocide. She’ll get a lot of heckin’ blue no matter who Redditors just like Hilary!

It’ll expand but it will take 5-10 years. Just like Web 1.0 and 2.0.

It’s open source nature protects against that. People mistake Linus as being in the same boat as Stallman but Linus was only open source by circumstance, he kind infamously doesn’t seem to appreciate the role open source played in his own success.

- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
It desperately needs this. Very inflammatory tweets can get widely circulated by brigading with no real way to stop it even if it’s a wildly unpopular sentiment.

I’d prefer a filter for blue checkmarks.
- Comment on People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are 4 months ago:
All you got is ad hominem attacks and its pathetic. I’m talking about a public live stream where a lot of people would see it and potentially catch predators.
Let me counter with my own ad hominem attack. You sound like a square that doesn’t go clubbing. Social people want to club where the most action is at. Not intellectually masturbate online about privacy absolution.
You act like there’d be a camera covering every square inch. A few cameras looking at the bar and dance floor would be enough. You do realize clubs and festivals broadcast live all the time right. Whoops no, no I guess you wouldn’t.
- Comment on People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are 4 months ago:
They’re not the majority but there’s certainly a lot of footage of just how packed a club is.
- Comment on People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are 4 months ago:
I’m not a tankie. And clubs already do their own closed circuit TV surveillance. And no my argument is not reducto ad absurdum. There is a growing and pervasive problem with drugging drinks in American bars. I only brought it up as a side benefit anyway. I’d really like the convenience of seeing how hot a bar is instead of having to pay to get in only to see that it’s lame and leave.
- Comment on People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are 4 months ago:
You’re out of touch, just visit nearly any page on Instagram to see hours of footage of clubbing and bar hopping.
- Comment on People in San Francisco Are Mad That a New App Lets You Spy on Bars to See How Busy They Are 4 months ago:
Filing you in public is not a violation of your privacy especially in a limited scope like a single club. That’s not at all equivalent to saying I should be able to read your emails.
Public safety needs to be weighed against civil rights. I don’t think women should be drugged because of a extreme fundamentalist a paranoid interpretation of privacy rights.
Also people want to club where it’s happening. Even if a club has a lot of people they could still not be dancing.

No way this is real. The brain looks like a gyro rotisserie.

No, but I’d prevent that by not having drunk antics. It’s not like other people in the bar can’t see you.
