I’d stay in a kruschevski tbh but I’m also weird and find them fascinating

lol

I’m talking about this genre post in general
- Comment on Bet y'all are very familiar with this 3 months ago:
Oh I see how that reads now. That was not a dig at you. I was just saying I hate those types of posts. Seeing as we are on shit post I just kind of assumed you were throwing it out there in all of it obnoxious glory

Planting means to root firmly
- Comment on Bet y'all are very familiar with this 3 months ago:
Do you not plant your feet?

I hate magic internet point farming like this. It’s so obnoxious.
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 4 months ago:
Gotta do it eventually dude or this will be our grave.
It’s hard to me that you can have the foresight to see the existential threat that is climate change, but not the risk of having all of our eggs in one basket.
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 4 months ago:
You’re missing the forest for the trees and way over estimating how much pollution rocket launches put out.
We have to leave the planet, which means we need to practice so to speak, and those rockets are the only way we are going to get out there right now.
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 4 months ago:
lol yeah I guess
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 4 months ago:
Rocket launches are not why climate change is occurring.
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 4 months ago:
I am against Starlink just fyi
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 4 months ago:
I’m not saying SpaceX isn’t without valid critiques, but if you don’t see the value of reusable rockets and can’t even give them credit for spearheading that, I’m not sure what else to say. Make no mistake I think Elon Musk is a bigoted piece of shit, but I can also acknowledge that SpaceX has done important work
- Comment on Elon Musk says SpaceX HQ officially moving to Texas, blames new CA trans student privacy law 4 months ago:
I’m sure there are plenty of people who started at SpaceX before we all truly knew the monster is. Also, the work they are doing is incredibly important. It’s hard to give that up. It shouldn’t be this hard to empathize with people

Similar to why many men wear boxer briefs

Yes sorry you are correct, forgot that critical piece. They often service multiple “places”
- Comment on Restaurant in NYC offshores cashier job to Philippines so they can pay below minimum wage ($3/hr in Philippines) 4 months ago:
Ghost kitchens for those who don’t know are basically “restaurants” for online takeout orders. They don’t do in person service.
- Comment on Microsoft is not done yet: more ads spotted in latest Windows 11 build - gHacks Tech News 4 months ago:
Windows OS is not the product.
- Comment on Microsoft is not done yet: more ads spotted in latest Windows 11 build - gHacks Tech News 4 months ago:
You could say that about any product or service. The issue here is windows famously charged until very recently (and still sort of does) which distinguishes it from those that don’t charge.
- Comment on Microsoft is not done yet: more ads spotted in latest Windows 11 build - gHacks Tech News 4 months ago:
That’s not really a good description either. Advertisements are pretty clear: the deliberate promotion of a product or service to an audience. Saying “I like this app” in natural conversation doesn’t mean I don’t stand to benefit.
- Comment on Microsoft is not done yet: more ads spotted in latest Windows 11 build - gHacks Tech News 4 months ago:
Microsoft is the only company that charges for an operating system so frankly I don’t understand why they feel entitled to that income anyway
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
Let’s kind of refocus here because there are 3 things at play.
- What do you think we need downvotes for, 2) do you think that’s how they’re being used, and 3) are there better tools to accomplish #1?
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
I didn’t do anything of the sort, I made an inference. I am happy to admit it was incorrect. But if you want me to only take your words exactly as written then this conversation is about to get way more annoying.
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
Self moderation clearly isn’t working if you ask me
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
that’s nota agree/disagree, that’s filtering for offensive and unwanted content, which you seem convinced only the downvote option can solve and that it does so effectively
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
That’s not really the question either. The question is “why do we have a downvote button and what do we hope it accomplishes?”
If your goal is to have an agree/disagree button, then power to you because that is how it is used. But a lot of people, not just myself, don’t want that.
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
That’s already a problem. We see that stuff all the time. The only way to stop that behavior is comment/post removals and bans. When have downvotes ever deterred troublemakers?
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
I don’t really agree but I appreciate you’re laying out your stance and giving me something to consider anyway :)
- Comment on X weighs adding a downvote button to replies — but it doesn't want to emulate Reddit 4 months ago:
Believe it or not I actually want to create forums/communities where the cream does rise to the top and everyone feels safe/welcome at all times, so I have a lot of opinions on how they should be run. Voting systems (or lack there of!) are critical for how things operate and meaningfully impact everyone’s experience, so it matters to me.
And at the end of the day, why shouldn’t I care?

I can see we’re well past the point of productivity then. Have a good weekend.
