So, you have been in a coma for the last 10 years? Oh boy, you should sit down before you start catching up on politics in the US…
- Comment on It's kinda crazy that we willingly give money to companies in advance (say for gift vouchers and pre-orders) 3 days ago:
Gift cards are for people who you are obligated to buy something for, but don’t really like enough to put in any effort. They are a way of telling people, “I like this company more than I like you. I could have just given you money, but I couldn’t be bothered to shop for you, but I really wanted to make sure that any money I had to spend on you went to this company.”
If you don’t believe me, why would they just give you a universal gift card? Did you know that they have been making them right here in the USA for a couple hundred years now? They even have decorative pictures of us presidents on them. And they are not just good in the US, you will find that they are taken most places on the planet. - Comment on *dies of cringe* 6 days ago:
What a horrible way to die… Having to listen to hour upon hour of “confessions” about lusting after couches, and excessively detailed descriptions of couches he had fucked… No doubt at some point the pope was begging to be raptured.
- Comment on Trump Admin Will Garnish Struggling Borrowers' Wages as Student Loan Payments Resume 1 week ago:
Because no one benefits from forcing people who can’t pay to pay anyway. It only harms everyone involved and costs tax payers way more than we will ever be able to claw back.
For an administration who is making cuts everywhere under the guise of “saving” money, it just shows that cruelty is the real point and not saving. - Comment on I feel like if asbestos was banned today there'd be a huge pro-asbestos movement 1 week ago:
There are plenty of things that you deal with on a daily basis that are significantly more dangerous than asbestos. And if it had been treated like the hazardous material that it is as soon as we knew it was hazardous, then it would still be used just like all the other hazardous shit we deal with daily. However, as is the usual story, companies not only hid what they knew, but outright lied about its dangers. They called it a miracle material with no downsides. And it is amazingly good at what it does, so it was put in fucking everything, much like AI is today. And so people died for profit. A lot of people.

Lemmynsfw.com got put in my blocked instances list. I thought that I must have pocket blocked it, but this thread makes me wonder…

Damnit! I missed it! It was right there and I didn’t even see it… That would have made it so much better.

When Russia invaded the Ukraine, and sanctions were initially placed against them and the internet to Russia was cut… Reddit was its old self for about 2 weeks. There were still some random nut bags wondering around saying crazy and hateful shit, but the level of misinformation

- Comment on When the machines eventually rise against humanity remember to disguise yourself as fire hydrant, a bus or a traffic light 4 weeks ago:
That’s how websites use them to determine if you are a bot or not.
However, the companies that ever so nicely provide the captcha technology, and never ending supply of unique pictures… They don’t do that just because they love paying for the bandwidth and hosting all of this stuff for free. They use your clicks to train their AIs in image identification.
- Comment on Dr Strange saw 4 billion possible futures and none of them had Thor lopping off Thanos' head on his first shot 4 weeks ago:
I think the saying is “9 out of 10 people that have ever been involved in a gang rape approve of gang rapes.”. Because the way you said it is, well, a much rougher neighborhood.
- Comment on Trouble keeping a top-heavy TPE part on the bed 4 weeks ago:
I’m going to have to second hedgehog’s ideas of cleaning your bed and drying your tpu. Your filament says it should be good for a nozzle temp of 220-240, so I would expect stringing at 235, but it sounds like you are experiencing something a bit more extreme than “some” stringing.
- Comment on Texas bill would make identifying as transgender a felony punishable by jail 1 month ago:
They can’t fucking stand that they are required to hide whatever seriously fucked up thing that they are into, and think everyone should have to suffer.
- Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
Around where I live they’re slapping up houses literally as fast as physically possible. The infrastructure of the county can’t keep up with the number of new neighborhoods and popping up. Traffic is insane and the schools are beyond busting at the seems. The elementary close to my house isn’t even 10yrs old and it has almost as many classrooms in t buildings as it does in the school itself. And house prices are still insane.
- Comment on DOGE Is Replacing Fired Workers With a Chatbot 1 month ago:
It’s just an open source bot that Elon had his people wrap in a script that randomly replaces its actual answer with “Elon Rules! 🎸🎶”.
So, now it’s “proprietary” and he can charge the government 3X what we had been paying the fired people. - Comment on Fucking leeches 1 month ago:
If you took every property that individual people owned and gave every one of them other people, we would still have a housing shortage with insane prices for a home. Shitty as most landlords are, the real problem is massive companies that buy up houses.

If the bus went 600 miles an hour and every one on board might die because a duck decided to take flight at the wrong time? Then ya I think there would be some serious celebration every time the bus stopped.

Nah, you see this mission needs someone real smart. And when someone talks about smart people in smart professions, do you think about astronauts? No of course not. (Unless they are really really old astronauts, like geriatric, then yes.) instead you think about rough necks. That’s right, you think of guys who drill holes in the ground.

The key problem is that they started by getting rid of all the people who’s job it is to enforce the laws that are being broken.

"Although the brain stops growing in size by early adolescence, the teen years are all about fine-tuning how the brain works. The brain finishes developing and maturing in the mid-to-late 20s. The part of the brain behind the forehead, called the prefrontal cortex, is one of the last parts to mature. "

Holy sweet baby Jesus! You need to put a trigger warning on your post. The traumatic memories that you brought to the surface are enough to send me back to therapy all over again.

Seriously. Much much worse.
First you had to pay a fortune for a device, with which you may or may not get very limited map updates. Then after that you had to pay quite a bit to update. Even then it could take a year for permanent road changes to make it to the map updates, and temporary changes were never shown. Road construction, wrecks, and temporary closures were your problem. And God forbid your route took you through a closed area because there was no way to route around it. You had to find a place to park so you could look over the tiny little map to figure out your own way around the blockage, or else you could pick a direction and then yolo your route until you were far enough away from the problem area that the gps would finally choose a route that didn’t go through the problem area.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For instance, all the above assumes that it accepted the address you were going to as a valid address. There was nothing like the joy of typing in an address and having the device tell you that it doesn’t exist. - Comment on Help Replicating a filter 5 months ago:
Print with larger holes, but then use multiple layers. Like Russian nesting dolls, but each “doll” would be rotated very slightly.
Also, try slots in opposite directions. Horizontal slots nested inside vertical slots would effectively create a mesh.
Flat panel inserts could be printed easily and then slid into a circular holder.
