I think that goes without saying

My retirement plan is assisted suicide (in Canada, of course). Feels weird to be saving for death, but this is the reality we live in. What else can I do? Wait until I can’t work anymore and can’t pay my mortgage and hydro bill? And then what, hang myself in the barn? Fuck that, I want to go out high af and feeling no pain.

She controls his agenda. She sometimes takes decisions on his behalf.
… what exactly does “takes decisions on his behalf” mean? I’ve never “taken” someone else’s decision, afaik… but I don’t really know what that’s supposed to mean, so whatever

- Comment on YSK: NASA’s Moon landing relied on Nazi scientists — and a secret U.S. program brought them here 1 month ago:
isn’t this something everybody knows already? it’s been common knowledge since like, forever. even if you’re a middle school dropout, live in willful ignorance and never pick up a book or periodical, you’ll still accidentally learn this fact from TV and movies

Let’s see if this link works. It’s just as fast-paced and exciting as a peewee soccer tournament
Actually, they should’ve pitted the robots against little kids. That would’ve been hilarious.

I sure would like to read this article, it seems fascinating, but it’s paywalled.
- Comment on A 3-tonne, $1.5 billion satellite to watch Earth’s every move is set to launch this week 2 months ago:
… I think I agree with your sentiment? honestly it’s hard to tell because everything you just said is delivered in this ultra-cringe meme language. I guess this is so the average middle schooler can understand what you’re saying? or is this how robots think humans communicate, so when they want to pretend they’re an “average human internet user”, they talk in this ridiculous idiotic meme codec? idk, whatever, it’s peak cringe, but ok cool comment

I’ve been meaning to check out this “nature” thing, or whatever it’s called. It’s basically like, just lakes and woods and the sky and all kinda weird shit like that. Supposed to be pretty cool I guess, idk

I’ve been ad-free youtubing since it came out in '06 or whenever that was. It’s a shame that they disabled uBlock on Chrome, I used to really enjoy my chromebook before it became spam cancer
- Comment on Palantir may be engaging in a coordinated disinformation campaign by astroturfing these news-related subreddits: r/world, r/newsletter, r/investinq, and r/tech_news 2 months ago:
this is usually when I would say something conceited like “lol glad I don’t live in the US” but then I realise that I’m just as fucked as the rest of the world and we don’t have a future
hopefully microplastics will invade my colon/heart/kidneys/liver/brain soon and remove me from this living nightmare, I can’t deal with this shit anymore

on top of that it’s just a repost from another karmafarming account who posted it to uplifting news
- Comment on autofocus glasses 2 months ago:
eventually they’ll come out with a device that charges you while you wear all of your chargeable items. you just plug yourself into a USB outlet and all your shit gets charged simultaneously
- Comment on Google's AI now listens to your English language phone conversations 3 months ago:
so basically you communicate through a string of auto-generated usernames. clever. do you have a rotating cipher? that’s the way to do it if you want to stay ahead of the Nazis
- Comment on A family of 5 downsized to a one-bedroom apartment to escape feeling 'house poor.' Saving money hasn't been the only benefit. 3 months ago:
Don’t forget about their income as TikTokers… which is still something I can’t understand. Collecting money for posting inane, self-fellating horse shit to social media? That’s a job? Ok whatever
- Comment on Kawasaki is developing a robot to be ridden like a horse - Asia Times 3 months ago:
I’m waiting for the laser sword as a standard option. It’s always a bad idea to buy the first model anyway, and you know it’s coming. I mean who in their right mind rides a robot horse without a light sabre?
- Comment on The federal minimum wage is officially a poverty wage in 2025 3 months ago:
Isn’t that what servers make in the US? when I lived there in the 90s, minimum wage was 4.25/hr, but the servers in the restaurant I worked at were making 2.35/hr, and that wage hadn’t changed since like the 70s or some crazy shit.

according to the article it’s a tiny smattering of brain cells grown from stem cells derived from his blood, which he donated before he died specifically for this experiment. it is in no way conscious.

Dude, Peg was so hot, why didn’t he ever want to bang her? Cyclops Peg was arguably hotter though.
- Comment on The US Secretary of Education referred to AI as ‘A1,’ like the steak sauce 4 months ago:
My question, if I may ask it, is that HP is better than A1. Wait no I mean is HP better than A1? I’ll go ahead and answer that for you: yes. Yes it is.
Followup question: ketchup is a vegetable. Source: Minister of Learning
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 details: Screen size, controllers, storage, microphone chat and games 4 months ago:
as a Canadian I’m used to everything being expensive as fuck, but I have to draw the line somewhere. this is why piracy exists. I’ll probably break down and buy one at the next major Zelda title launch, because I don’t get a choice in that. my heart wants what it wants, and I’m getting too old to say no at this point.

- Comment on YSK that in the US, denaturalization, the process of revoking a person's citizenship, does not require proof "Beyond reasonable doubt" 4 months ago:
I bailed out. Fled to Canada, where after 16 years of happiness it now looks as if I might lose my country and be forced to become American again… fuck that. I’d rather die. I’ll disappear into the Shield and survive on bass and pickerel for the rest of my life, living like Rambo. Yeah John Rambo was American, but he would’ve been much better off as a Canadian.
- Comment on Israel publicly announces genocidal intent 5 months ago:
it’s about hurting the right people. whomever you need to hurt to push your agenda through, that’s who needs a whoopin’, but once that’s been accomplished, you can go back to hurting the people you really want to hurt. that’s “Freedom”, American Style
