- Comment on YSK that Joseph Stalin created the Great Terror. He started killing people randomly including artists, generals, doctors, scientists, government officials. Everyone was terrified. 2 days ago:
Any actual notes?
- Comment on That one time when he made cheese and it broke the ship 6 days ago:
There’s so much comedy in the Quark/Odo relationship that’s played perfectly and isn’t at the expense of either of the characters.
The uptight lawman/morally good criminal will-they-wont-they frenemyship is one of my favorite dynamics in the show and is up there with Garak/Bashir or even La Forge/Data.
- Comment on Can to many hits to the head make a person the R word in animals? My bc loves to run around the house and hits his head constantly but shakes it off. He acts normal and everything exceept4 zoomies? 2 weeks ago:
Regarded, they’re curious about the animals social status if they keep running into stuff.
- Comment on Gen Z males twice as likely as baby boomers to believe wives should obey husbands 2 weeks ago:
I’m a man, I do a lot of solo hiking and camping.Ii usually carry when I go into the woods and it’s not for wild animals.
The last thing anyone wants when they’re “alone in the woods” is finding out they’re not alone. I’ll take a wild animal experience over a wild human experience every time.

Maybe car dealerships are part of the problem.

They were joking.

Oh look a different kind of propaganda people are eager to lap up with 0 follow up.
- Comment on Are users data protected on the fediverse? 2 weeks ago:
I’d be willing to bet there’s archiving going via software/servers that don’t obey deletion requests.
Anything federated is public information.
- Comment on Game over 3 weeks ago:
MSG only enhance umami and has a distinctly salty flavor. Try substituting a bay leaf for a fuller, richer flavor. You may want to remove the leaf before serving.

I roll the nickles!
- Comment on 3 weeks ago:
It’s just a convenient loophole for fascists to pretend they’re not fascists.
“Oh no I gave them a fully refundable $100 to pre-order it, guess I’m locked into giving this seig heiling, election interfering, pedophilic elite illegal immigrant $100k.”
There’s a bunch of defenders in this very thread.
- Comment on W for Uncle Ted 4 weeks ago:
That’s exactly what he was. He spent half of Industrial Society and Its Future railing against the left and arguing that it was a psychological phenomenon linked to a “need for power”.
He liked the environment, that was about the only “left” thing about him.
Yall need to do more research before you jump on a bandwagon.
- Comment on Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month 5 weeks ago:
Because Discord wants your data, any excuse they give is just a rationalization to get it.
- Comment on Flock CEO calls Deflock a “terrorist organization” 5 weeks ago:
Hi I work in an adjacent industry and paintball guns are very effective in (temporarily) blinding these cams.
Also harsh cleaning chemicals like Windex with Ammonia will degrade the IR/anti-glare coatings horribly and will lead to unusable shots within a season or two.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 1 month ago:
Collared shirts aren’t even as bad a jeans for me. I can unbutton a little and be just fine, the jeans are pretty thick and have seams though. They can get uncomfortable quick.
- Comment on Man posts his incorrect opinion online 1 month ago:
For what? Sounds like they’ve found a solution that works for them.
- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 1 month ago:
Same, not a fan of the smell but I love the taste.
I even get farm eggs from my mom, still kind of farty.
- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 1 month ago:
Hollandaise is so fucking good I could drink it by the cup.
- Comment on YSK that everything the New York Times about Donald Trump actually happened 1 month ago:
Our current situation really is the culmination of almost 70 years of rightwing efforts. It’s a long listen but worth checking out How Conservatism Won by Robert Evans. He lays out in a clear concise way “how a consortium of rich failsons got together to fund a network of right wing think tanks and shift American culture in a fun new direction. (note: it was not actually fun at all).” They’ve been very successful and those think tanks are now pipelines used to funnel ideological purists into powerful positions like our current Supreme Court.
The shadowy cabals the rightwing says are behind everything is classic projection again, they’re controlled by shadowy cabals of rich people. One of the primary ghouls/traitors responsible for the attempted overthrow of our government on J6 was Roger Stone, the same traitorous ratfucker who began his career working for Nixon and has a fucking Nixon tattoo on his back. It’s really impossible to overstate how bad these people are and they’re winning.
The coup was successful, they’re in power and if they don’t want to give it up they won’t.

- Comment on Is it possible to reverse pit a copcar before they pit you? Like if you know a cop is going to pit you on their right side, can you use your left back end to hit them first? 1 month ago:
Turn into the skid and accelerate is how you’re taught to evade/counteract a PIT maneuver.
- Comment on Slay Girl 1 month ago:
Just hopping in to say that the RDR franchise is great and worth the money.
I’ve spent so many hours just riding around hunting or collecting herbs. One of the few games you can genuinely turn off your brain off and immerse yourself in the world.

Counterpoint:
Obviously all the good breads already been invented.
- Comment on YSK that no form of United States ID, no matter how valid, guarantees protection when ICE decides you look like an immigrant. 1 month ago:
For now.
- Comment on Shower Thought: The man, the legend, the one-man show 1 month ago:
Absolutely a horror legend outside of Star Trek. The Re-Animator trilogy , The Frighteners, Doctor Mordrid, Trancers, I Still Know What You Did Last Summer. He’s been in a lot of really successful/cult horror movies, has avoided any metoo/political missteps and is pretty well beloved by fans.
You could have a con just cornering him and getting him to sign merch from all his work.
Truly the man, the legend, the one man show and the franchise is lucky to have him
- Comment on Digg launches its new Reddit rival to the public 2 months ago:
I loved the Screensavers! Those were good times, Call for Help, the Screensavers, TechTV News. It was a very transitional time between Cable TV and the Internet becoming connected in everyones homes. Probably very influential on me career-wise and I’m glad to have experienced it.

Idk learning Chinese could be really beneficial, especially over the next 50 years.

If you actually want to know, fediverse votes are public and you could see everyone that voted either way here.
- Comment on Vienam Bans Unskippable Ads, Requires Skip Button to Appear After 5 Seconds - Saigoneer 2 months ago:
They didn’t say stop participating in society they said stop using Metas plaforms which is actually a really easy thing to do.
Unless you think Facebook/IG are society.
- Comment on I've never been in a situation where me having a gun would have made things bettter. 2 months ago:
I’m most worried about magat goon squads in lifted F250s rolling up in my inclusive small blue city neighborhood in a sea of red. Which I assure you I’ll “do shit” about. But if you have some brilliant tactical plan feel free to lead the charge.
Buying into antigun rhetoric is one of the biggest missteps “the left” has made in recent decades.
We have an authoritarian fascist state coalescing as we speak and there are still leftists advocating gun control. It’s a losing argument in the U.S. right now. I tell people as often as I can, especially my trans and bipoc friends; now is the time. Get a couple guns (a long one and a short one) and learn how to use them. Learn some basic first aid, you really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Start networking with like-minded people in your communities. The police will not protect us, they’ve proven they’ll happily club senior citizens to the ground and shoot any protesters in the face with rubber bullets while escorting a rightwing murderer to safety. Iran was a secular, liberal state until almost 1980 when they (mostly legitimately) elected an Islamist theocracy; it could happen here.
