You just made me remember that book that came out in his first term reassuring everyone that there were “adults in the room” protecting us from certain doom.
What a crock of shit that turned out to be.
- Comment on Lead 1 week ago:
My dumb brain interpreted “lying about” in the sense of “with” or “around” and I was momentarily confused by the thought of CK lying with his head resting on a trans person’s chest. I need to get off the internet.

New conspiracy theory: Tylenol actually does cause autism. But China figured out that autism is the key to a better society and they are pushing RFK to ban it so that we remain self-destructive neurotypicals.
- Comment on TikTok To Be Sold To Trump’s Right Wing Billionaire Buddies And Converted Into A Propaganda Mill 2 weeks ago:
I’m pretty active on there and my entire feed is academic and thoughtful left-leaning commentary. Granted I had to work at curating it. Day one was all thirst traps. But now I really enjoy it. I will actually be sad when it becomes unusable.

And Kansas. I had to sign a document acknowledging it. I have no intention of honoring that contract.
- Comment on Google: 'Your $1000 phone needs our permission to install apps now'". Android users are screwed - Louis Rossmann 5 weeks ago:
BT 6.1 introduced Randomized RPA (Resolvable Private Address) which should help with some of the security issues. That said I wouldn’t expect to see headphones implementing 6.1 for quite some time. It just came out in May.

I inherited it from my grandfather 12 years ago.

I have a dead cat. 🤷♂️
- Comment on Crypto mogul Do Kwon, known as ‘the cryptocurrency king,’ pleads guilty to fraud charges 1 month ago:
I’m up 192% for the year, so I’ll take the tiny dick jokes. Admittedly the signal to noise ratio is pretty awful, but the assets themselves can be smart investments.
- Comment on PARTY TIME 1 month ago:
Same. We threw a big college party and made “trashcan punch”. A couple hundred dollars worth of fruit, several big containers of koolaid, everclear, and a garden hose. Everyone was wasted and we still had to pour out over half down the sewer drain the day. Worth it.
- Comment on Perplexity offers to buy Google Chrome for $34.5 billion 1 month ago:
The CEO also said in an interview that he would use Chrome to mine endless amounts of user data. As the dead internet becomes a problem, he wants to use Chrome itself to detect when it’s being used by a human and scrape all the data they produce. I instantly uninstalled the Perplexity app after seeing that.
Sorry I can’t find the link.
- Comment on Some heroes don’t wear capes 1 month ago:
Within days of Maxwell’s complaint, Batman – a career criminal convicted of being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm – was moved to a different cube.
Epstein’s madam didn’t fare much better with her replacement, however, as the newcomer quickly kicked off about avid jogger Maxwell failing to take showers and stinking out their cramped living quarters with her sweaty sneakers.
Maxwell would come straight off the running track and not wash. It’s something you often see with sex offenders, they are worried about being attacked in the shower,’ added our source.
Eventually they had a huge argument – this time over a clothes hanger – and it got so heated that the new bunkie threatened to beat Max with a padlock.
Of course, Max complained, and this girl was also removed. Max seems to think she will eventually get a cube all to herself if she keeps stirring up trouble.’
DailyMail.com revealed last month that Maxwell earned her 'prison Karen’moniker because of the 400-plus petty complaints she has lodged while behind bars.
- Comment on New executive order puts all grants under political control 1 month ago:
The other option is to boycott everything — bring the entire economy to a halt. Don’t show up to work, don’t shop, block the highways, stop paying taxes, etc. I guarantee the entire situation would be fixed in under a week.
Of course, this requires critical mass. And everyone is so conditioned to get to work on time and not endanger their next paycheck, that it’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Things will have to get worse before they get better.

- Comment on YSK De-banking is often how the US first declares you "homeless" 2 months ago:
That’s what scares me about the government trying to switch to crypto. It’s a whole new way to track and trap people financially.

It started in earnest under Regan. It’s just been difficult to see where all those changes would lead until all at once it smacked us in the face.

Unix and lawnmowers are nothing new or exotic either. I’m not stupid for not knowing how to repair a lawnmower, and I wouldn’t presume you’re stupid just because I can run circles around you at the command line.
I would, however, question your intelligence if you lack the ability to perceive the reasons behind different people knowing different things. It’s not that complicated.

It’s happened directly on Google before. Advertisers aren’t vetted except in specific industries. It could happen on any site, trusted or not.

I was even okay with images. It’s when the images started moving, making it difficult and distracting to read text that I realized if they are willing to sacrifice the core purpose of the page for ads, it’s only going to get worse.
Remember the target that would move back and forth really quickly to try to get you to click it?

I know surgeons who can’t start a zoom call. Being uneducated in a particular area is not stupidity. If you avoid dating someone over their lack of adtech knowledge, I would assume they are the one that dodged a bullet.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 2 months ago:
Is it a level playing field? In China workers rights are pretty non-existent and there’s no OSHA equivalent, at least not to the degree we have in the US. Then add in government subsidies, lower worker pay, reduced R&D costs because they pilfered the engineering from a US company, and you end up with a very lopsided market.
To be clear, I am in no way defending the US auto industry. They have little customer loyalty for a reason – low quality, overpriced, subscription dependent vehicles with terrible warranties, expensive service requirements, and invasive telemetry. They need more competition to force them to make more consumer-friendly decisions, but China is hardly a fair competitor.

True (and happy cake day) but the star looks most like an A to me, which I think is why I write it the same way.
