Trying to get my family to use signal and its like pulling teeth. “Dont you want to be on the same messaging app as everyone”, “sure but you’re the one with a problem”
Mate, I only have a problem because of you!
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 2 weeks ago:
My problem with forums is that they spiral out of control. Forum lovers see this as a huge plus but I’m not reading 1700 pages of bullshit across three posts just to get to the current info.

- Comment on Mozilla is already revising its new Firefox terms to clarify how it handles user data 5 weeks ago:
Tor Browser doesn’t include uBo (on Android at least) and their ad blocking is abysmal. Its great that no one can trace your IP but completely useless since it doesn’t do anything to block trackers.
Anything short is freely giving your data away.
Misinformation.

Haha yeah. Websters dictionary is the sole arbiter of political upheaval and is the singular source of authority on all events, past and present.
Its not like there is an organization that catalogs and studies such events or anything. That would be ridiculous! Oh wait

Honestly democrats have been spouting off about how dangerous republicans are but when push comes to shove they serve up the same bills but somehow even worse and them drink tea with the fascists.
The dems better get real fuckin lefty real quick if they ever want to win an election again. But they wontt, they’ll just emulate dump even more like they did with Reagan.

They literally attempted a coup when they lost the election, so no, everything was not “fine”.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
The constitution was created for the sole purpose of containing a tyrant and mitigating any damage they could do.
Its never been tested on a real tyrant before though, so I guess we’ll see how well it accomplishes that. It uh, isnt looking too great though.
- Comment on Wheel of Time - for both the book and show fans 1 month ago:
Meh. WoT is my favorite overall series but there are probably entire books worth of material that can be dropped. I bet a competent editor could tell the story in 7-10 books without really changing anything.
Do we seriously need to spend 15 chapters watching Perrin formulate a plan to save Faile, again?
Ebou Dar was really cool. I didn’t need to spend four books there.

After watching the entire first and second seasons my wife still didn’t understand what the dark one is, what it wants, or who Rand is, why he’s important, or who the forsaken are and what they want.
I think that says a lot about the shows inability to convey even fundamental foundational information about the series.

Let’s go save Faile for the fourth time, except this time we’ll spend two and a half book on it!
