Then you should have said “35 presidents” so people can deduct what you’re talking about.

Pro tip: If you’re wondering, it does.
- Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 week ago:
Except this time we’re so far along that the natural world itself is a victim.
It gets harder and harder to reject the system and “live a simple life”.
Rural areas are food deserts claimed by give factory farms. Cities force you into the grind through high rent. Alternative livestyles are criminalized. Emigrating requires lots of money and there are no frontiers left to live the rugged way. - Comment on What's the endgame when the rich have all the money? 1 week ago:
They’ll happily lend you money to keep buying stuff. So you end up in perpetual debt. It loops back to feudalism and serfdom in a deliciously ironic twist.

- Comment on AI-Generated Fake War Images Passed Off as Real 1 month ago:
But what you could do is hold the companies that make AI accountable for its output, same as with any other software.
“We don’t know what it does” shouldn’t be an excuse when your AI distributes misinfo, libel and slander, and you profit from it. - Comment on Funny how uniting this is somehow 1 month ago:
Probably rolled into a gutter.
- Comment on Why Is Printer Ink So Expensive? 1 month ago:
Printers are cursed abominations unleashed upon our world by Those No One Dares Mention.
One of the secrets of the printer “manufacturers” is that they don’t actually know how printer ink is made.
They just know they have to chant the incantations written down by hands unseen on scrolls bound in human flesh, sacrifice a sysadmin, and a new shipment will materialize in their warehouse. - Comment on Most people's first arguments are fighting with their parents. When someone is getting emotional during a debate they are most likely dredging up emotions they felt towards mommy and daddy. 1 month ago:
Yet somehow, saying “calm down, I’m not your dad” rarely diffuses the situation when my wife is mad at me.
- Comment on The best Linux distribution for gaming in 2025 1 month ago:
If your proficiency is one step above clicking “next” on an installer, I recommend Debian.
- Do a default installation. (Or if you’re motivated, do a minimal one and install only what you need to get a GUI and Flatpak running).
- Activate the backports repository and install
linux-image-amd64
from Backports. That’ll give you a newer kernel with newer drivers and support for newer hardware. - Then install all user software you need from Flatpaks.
That way you get a rock solid Debian base, current kernel, and fresh software.
- Comment on Joe Biden issues 'full and unconditional' pardon for son 1 month ago:
This implies that the Democrats are now convinced Trump can control the Judiciary.
Which means they don’t believe the separation of powers works anymore.
So in essence, the US democratic system is now dead.
One party killed it, and the other has already given up their belief in it. - Comment on More World Central Kitchen workers killed by airstrike in Gaza 1 month ago:

Depends, actually.

I mean, if someone lets me into their house, points me to a whiteboard with a pen and tells me to write whatever I want so the other people in the house can read it…
Do I own the whiteboard? Or the pen? Or have control over any of it?No. The owner of the house can lock me out and wipe off or change what I wrote at their leisure.

It sounds fake, to be honest.
- Comment on Just a little guy 1 month ago:
mating behavior
The initiation of physical contact is completely independent from sex, size, or residency status.
However, sperm is only released during sexual interaction with females but not with males,
which indicates that upon copulation, the male can distinguish the difference on whether to inseminate or not.Huh, neat.
- Comment on Pluto's Orbit 1 month ago:
How can we even know it’s a planet when we haven’t observed a single orbit, yet?
Maybe it’s just a really big comet. - Comment on Mars' Leaky Nipple 1 month ago:

- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 1 month ago:
The US has had presidents who were literally more evil than Mr. Burns.
They haven’t been a real democracy (where the will of the majority influences policy) in decades, if ever.Climate change is still the thing that’s most likely to fuck us all, and it’s not like the US were actually helpful in that regard under Democratic leadership.

We evolved in the Savannah.
Rain means the watering holes are filling up, which is obviously good cause we need water, but it also attracts prey animals. - Comment on At what age do we switch from measuring a human by length to by height? 1 month ago:
And at what age do boys start to measure length again?
