- Comment on My boyfriend feels weird about sleeping over at my place because I live with my parents. How can I help him loosen up? 4 hours ago:
The “I’m doing the thing you’re doing but throwing it back at you” and “thanks or whatever” definitely is.

They’re being helpful and assuming you may genuinely not know the word, and are giving you the correct version for the context.
Getting defensive isn’t needed.

Quark, you’ve been warned a hundred times about discussing human hunting techniques with menagerie owners.

- Comment on What to know about the COVID variant causing 'razor blade' sore throats 6 days ago:
now I know for sure covid was going around even before the pandemic was announced.
My friend group was making jokes and memes about it in december of 2019, so 100%.
I wish you a rapid recovery.

Funny Spock
Oh god please no
Give me socially awkward, trying to be funny but not quite getting it yet Spock.
- Comment on Thing makes noise wallet goes empty 1 week ago:
140 (87mph).
I’m sure there are cars where I wouldn’t feel a thing and all that, but mine would shake itself apart.
120/75 is my limit, and honestly my truck shouldn’t be going over 90/55 because it loses the tiny bit of efficiency it has.
- Comment on Thing makes noise wallet goes empty 1 week ago:
New noises don’t bother me. The amount of things that can shake rattle and roll (it’s a mess but it’s all tools and things I need for work) means a new sound pops up every week.
It’s the new slightly different vibration that sketches me out.
Ever so slightly up/down vibration that you can barely feel when you get to 70? Congrats, next week when you drive to work you’ll hit a bump at 15 and the whole
frontbottom falls off. And now you have 3 other problems because drive shafts start flying all over and smashing into things when they break.No, I love vehicle ownership and definitely wouldn’t prefer to relax on high speed rail for 20 minutes with a rolling bag/tool box or literally any other form of mass transit…

It works at the current 93 billion light years of observable universe (46ish in every direction)
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 week ago:
38 digits of pi can get the circumference of the visible universe to within a single hydrogen atom.
10 digits gets the diameter of the earth to within an inch.

Considering the channel owner is heavily left leaning, I don’t think it was them but they may be getting extra cautious about what speech they allow, given the current regime.
- Comment on Day 332 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games l've been playing 1 week ago:
I’ll be honest, they fucked this game over hard in my opinion.
It really does feel like they separated everyone into teams, and none of the teams spoke to each other once. They all just delivered their chunk of the game without connecting pieces together.
Base building was a nightmare, and that’s the primary reason I downloaded it in the first place.
Then I finished the main quest and spoilers ahead for anyone who cares
The concept of “well now you’re out of the universe so let’s go to a new one right at the start of the game again but this time a few things might be slightly different” was fun until all my hard work figuring things out with the bases got erased by “and by the way literally everything except your experience and abilities has been reset and you can either choose continuing the ability tree and maybe solve some mysteries of who built everything or you can care about the current universe but you can’t do both”
Kind of killed literally every desire I had to play the game. Especially when they patched the easily accessed chests that at least gave me a shortcut to some things.
- Comment on As disinformation and hate thrive online, YouTube quietly changed how it moderates content 1 week ago:
I made some comments on YouTube over the last week about LAPD and Israel, and all of them have been deleted without notice. Not even a warning of “hey you aren’t allowed to talk about that” or “you violated a mysterious rule sometime”

It’s weird that a guntuber is where I saw this posted first… Granted he’s very clearly left if you watch some of his videos.
And he just posted a data security video the other day about how DOGE and Palantir are working together.
- Comment on Facebook advertised a professional child kidnapping service to me 1 week ago:
Well yeah, fetuses are the perfect thing to platform.
They don’t make any demands on you.
As far as the US government is concerned at least, they don’t require food, water, shelter, or any assistance. It’s all on the mother. Not “the PARENTS”, mind you. The mother.
Pregnancy complications? Mother’s fault. Never mind that she couldn’t get Healthcare, food, or shelter for herself. Those things are commie-social-Marxism if we just gave them to her.
And when the fetus pops out as a baby after hopefully 9 months, it’s again on the mother to provide. Never mind that she can’t afford Healthcare for herself or her child, or food, or daycare so she can work to afford those things, or, or, or…
And if you think otherwise, clearly you are a spawn of Satan and hate America, something something Jesus.
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 1 week ago:
Oh completely 100% agreed, and neglect isn’t the only form of child abuse going on but CPS has visited them plenty of times and interviewed all the kids and neighbors (before we moved in) over custody battles with some adopted ones. (they’re all related, long story with too many identifying details but some parents died and all the children are cousins and siblings) so they at least aren’t doing anything that CPS cares about.
But holy shit I have never wanted to curb stomp my sister in law a-la American History X more than when I went over one day and I could hear screaming halfway down the 1/4mi driveway, and when I walked in she was in the 6 year Olds face screaming at the top of her lungs about how she’s tired of telling the 6 year old to put her shoes away, four of the kids were slowly doing chores in the living room and kitchen with tears running down their faces, and I could hear the 13 year old sobbing upstairs. Their mother screamed so hard and long that she burst a blood vessel in her eye and detached the retina. As usual though the moment she saw me she stopped and pretended like she wasn’t doing anything.
Since then I’ve had my phone on record in my pocket whenever I’m coming over unannounced just in case I can catch it. Bare minimum it will be something to show the courts when one of the kids becomes a serial killer.
Their dad is no help, he’s an enabler and honestly a broken shell of a person when it comes to his wife.
Grandparents are worse than parents.
My wife watches them whenever she can, and takes them on surprise day trips to get away from their parents and some of the siblings when possible but holy shit they do not make it easy to take them anywhere.
I don’t regret marrying my wife but I can honestly say my in-laws are insane and anyone could understand why I hate them.
Uhhhhhhh what was the topic again? Sorry for the vent.
- Comment on Twenty-seven states and DC sue 23andMe to oppose the sale of DNA data from its customers without their direct consent 1 week ago:
then why is it so popular there
Because like many countries whose inhabitants come from a variety of places, you’ve got lots of people interested in their “heritage”
Since most people in the US can’t say their family has been here longer than a couple hundred years, and depending on the area no more than 100 or so, a lot of people wish to know “where they came from” so to speak. DNA testing is just easier than tracing a family tree.
I happen to be lucky enough to have a family member obsessed with genealogy, who traced down the last 1,000 or so years depending on which parts of the family and what areas they’re from, so I don’t need genetic testing to know 99% of my family is white as fuck with a couple POC from different continents and a native back in the 1700s. I don’t feel any particular draw to any culture, nor do I feel like donning traditional garb or participating in holidays, ceremonies, rituals, or customs. Some people do.
I totally get it if it’s not your thing, especially since that kind of mentality of “ooh let’s find out where our families came from” isn’t present in most other places in the world, and definitely not to the same degree even in other colonial areas. Personally I think it’s part of that whole “melting pot” ideology, but I’m just some rando on the internet.
Honestly even without my relative tracing the family tree, I would never have paid to give my DNA to a company for results with questionable accuracy. Shits weird, yo.
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 2 weeks ago:
In fairness, that’s why I feel like getting a leash.
Plus the oldest is 13 and at least she’s responsible enough for us to look away for a few minutes and she will still be there.
- Comment on How often do you take him for a walk? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve always felt weird about parents who have those backpack leashes for their kids, but now that I’ve been living next to my in-laws for a year, who have 8 children, I understand some of them.
I refuse to take some their kids anywhere unless one of them is with my wife and I.
One would absolutely go sprinting full speed away and hide from us just because he thinks it’s hilarious.
Two would wander off because they saw something shiny and their brains are like an etch-a-sketches where every time a new thought enters, the old one has to get wiped away.
One would do the exact opposite of anything we say just because he figures he can.
And three others would absolutely just wander off, not because they want to but just because kids aren’t always the best at spatial awareness and simply get too far away. And would be terrified if they noticed their adults were nowhere in sight.

Ohio resident for grade school, they did it at 4 different school districts across every grade.
Can’t speak for anyone else.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 3 weeks ago:
Or teacher didn’t even see this, handed it to a high school student and said “grade this stack of papers”
I had that happen several times in science classes in 3rd-8th grade. Eventually I started arguing with the teachers in class, and boy did they not like being corrected.
Sorry Ms Avery, you not knowing that “Pb” is the abbreviation of the Latin word “plumbum”, where we also get “plumbing” from due to its use in piping in rome, doesn’t mean I got the answer wrong. To her credit, she looked it up and changed my grade before the end of class.
Ms hoschouli from 7th grade can get fucked though, a parallel circuit increases amperage load, not voltage load. I knew more about electronics in 7th grade than a college graduate who teaches science class, which in hindsight isn’t that impressive considering it was general science and not electronics specific… But in 7th grade, as far as I was concerned I was hot shit for knowing more than the teacher, and getting detention for calling her out in the middle of class. Never got the grade changed and I only got out of detention because my parents called the school.
- Comment on Kid gave a reasonable answer without all the math bullshit 3 weeks ago:
I once got in trouble with my math teacher for saying “well if we’re just making things up, then sure [I cheated on a math test while sitting in the front of class where the teacher can see but I was using some kind of hidden code on my t-shirt that was a bunch of Shakespearean insults] . But what about all that Crack you were doing in your car this morning?”
Apparently my "making things up"was a slightly more serious than his. I stand by it. If we’re making shit up, we’re making shit up.
For the record, this geometry teacher was convinced I was cheating in class because I didn’t do homework. Homework was 5% of the final grade for the year according to his syllabus, I hated homework, so I figured as long as I didn’t suck at the rest of the class, I could do 0 homework and pass. I was right, passed with a 94%

- Comment on A fake Facebook event disguised as a math problem has been one of its top posts for 6 months 3 weeks ago:
That’s the point.
Set the bar low, but just high enough that tons of people still trip over it.
Sit back and enjoy the comment wars.
The people who are confident but wrong are too proud to admit they were wrong even if they realize it, and comment angrily.
The people who are right and know why, comment for corrections and some to show off how S-M-R-T they are.
The people who are wrong but willing to accept that just have their realization and probably don’t think about it again. So do the people who don’t know and/or care.
But those first two groups will keep the post going in both shares and comments, because “look at all these wrong people”
It’s all designed to boost engagement.
