- Comment on Brazil condemns US after deportees arrive handcuffed 2 days ago:
Always a good idea to separate trump supporters from the normal americans who hate this stuff as much as the people it happens to.
Even with fascism having an uptick, most people hate this shit.
- Comment on Elon Musk email to X staff: ‘we’re barely breaking even’ 5 days ago:
He doesn’t have any competent people keeping him away from his company at twitter like he does at his other companies.
- Comment on Trump federally renames Alaska's Mt. Denali to mount mckinley, despite the objections from everyone who actually lives there 1 week ago:
It’s not a top issue, but it’s super easy to make trump’s toddlerishness ineffective.
You just use the correct name, Denali. This isn’t a tough one. Denali needs to get said more times than some other propaganda name. That’s all. Its name is Denali, so Denali us what we say.
Same with Gulf of Mexico. Fascists easily defeated on one minor front by people just saying correct things.
- Comment on Trump federally renames Alaska's Mt. Denali to mount mckinley, despite the objections from everyone who actually lives there 1 week ago:
He can’t change the name, he can put some bullshit on some document.
It’s Denali, and we are the ones who decide that. All you have to do is use its name, which is Denali. Just being correct when you say things is all that’s required, and we probably want to do that anyway.
- Comment on Don’t Use Session (Signal Fork) 2 weeks ago:
Thanks for the notice!
Regular Signal for lyfe.
- Comment on Hotel chain ditches Google search for DuckDuckGo — ‘subjected to fraud attempts daily’ 2 weeks ago:
Takes companies a little while to catch up to the times on technology, but a win is a win!
- Comment on Are affordable apartments easy and cheap suicide prevention? 3 weeks ago:
Absolutely. No question.
It’s not a complete solution of course, but it’s part of one.
- Comment on Experts say high food prices are here to stay. Here's why 3 weeks ago:
Normally giving up happens more quietly than this. Almost seems tactical.
If this isn’t you giving up, then let’s get the shit back on track. There are a limited number of people fucking us over. We should work to non-violently convince them to stop stepping on everybody’s necks, if they are up for that sort of thing.
- Comment on Do you play with matches? 3 weeks ago:
That’s cool.
- Comment on bird flu 4 weeks ago:
A) of fucking course
B) always important to say
- Comment on Study finds young people more likely to spend Christmas alone 5 weeks ago:
Why bother with the hassle? If it’s close and fun then fine, but if it’s far and expensive and the people aren’t fun, why go that far out of your way not to have a good time?
- Comment on YouTube ads have ruined the good, old-fashioned Rick Roll. 2 months ago:
You aren’t doing youtube correctly.
PC: firefox + ublock origin, freetube
Mobile: revanced, newpipe
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
This of the core of the problem. Github energy.
Fine for a hobby. Not good enough for a public-facing product.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
It’s owned by facebook, it’s irrelevant.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
It will, but it still has that countdown timer over its head.
The future is the fediverse, some yet-to-be-invented non-corporate equivalent, or offline.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
The actual center, which never moves even as extremists come and go, would be a little to the right of Elizabeth Warren, though not by much.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 months ago:
If the internet has a future, it’s on the Fediverse. We work around capitalism to avoid enshittification, or we let it defer our future further.
In the meantime, the Fediverse needs to get shiny and intuitive. The sign that something is cumbersome and hard to use is people saying “it’s not that bad”.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 2 months ago:
This is dumb.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 2 months ago:
It’s not benign. Long covid can be and often is permanent. You get that shit, and everything you care about in your life is now a distant second place.
What you’re calling “benign” is everybody consciously choosing to ignore it, and act like anyone smart enough not to is somehow weird and wrong.
- Comment on There should be a term for people who never really returned from the pandemic's social isolation 2 months ago:
Some lost their ability to regulate from everybody else being critically stupid, some see everybody still being dumb about it and aren’t gonna play such a transparently stupid game. Some got long covid, the worst outcome of all, the thing you wear a mask to stop.
Multiple causes.
- Comment on USA President term limits 2 months ago:
He gets two terms, whether they’re split up or not. This is his last term by law.
He’s probably just going to stay anyway, because Republicans have managed to infect government with the kinds of losers who would back something like that.
- Comment on I want to feel like a bad-ass wizard 2 months ago:
Morrowind is great and people should definitely play it, but god damn will it not meet the need of feeling badass. It makes you feel like a wooden chess piece and you just get used to it.
Those spells area very cool, though.

It’s amazing how much better this game looks than a bunch of games that came out years after it.

I like the sound of that.

Insect + big + magic as caulking for the highest-level plot holes, then let the geopolitics trickle down.
Bam. World created.
- Comment on Whenever I see someone walking around in clothes with big, visible branding, I can’t help but think they paid a fortune to wear an advertisement. 2 months ago:
They want me to wear that shit, their asses can pay me a monthly subscription.
And then still no lol.
