- Comment on To install a new outlet with a dedicated circuit do they have to cut the drywall all the way from the electrical panel to the outlet? 1 week ago:
That would be an absolute last resort. Ideally you can fish a new wire through existing conduit, or run new wiring in attic or basement areas.

Israel needs to be unrecognized as a state, turn occupied by decent human beings

- Comment on Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor 1 week ago:
Yeah, so you completely missed the point. A sales tax is based on consumption rates. People with more money will consume more and pay a higher tax which is appropriate because it’s proportional to not only their income but also they’re spending power. This brings us to our next point a person spending power doesn’t have anything to do with their earned income at least in the United States. If you were born rich and you never worked a day in your life you would never pay an income tax you would pay a nominal 15% capital gains tax on the trust fund that your parents set up for you and then keeping sales taxes low and property taxes low basically just subsidizes you.
- Comment on better paying job dealing with egos vs peace of mind job that pays poorly. I'd be taking a 20% financial hit. Worth it? 1 week ago:
To me, work is a means to money. The ultimate goal is to do the least and get the most. Getting more money doesn’t mean you have to care more about your job. Always take the money

Over here in the US that means that several of your politicians have fallen for an underage sex honey pot hosted by Israel
- Comment on Wealth inequality seems like the only outcome in a system where capital gains are taxed less than labor 1 week ago:
The earned income tax is complete bullshit. Why would people be taxes for earning money through labor? You’ve already spent your time, and earning money through labor is already one of the least efficient ways of generating wealth.Besides you’re still going to have to pay sales tax

- Comment on Trump Tries to Spin Failed Putin Peace Summit as Critics Label It a 'Self-Own' 2 weeks ago:
It was so predictable and hilarious. He’s the perfect representative for the Republican party. A dickless fucktard who’s a bad faith traitor and completely full of shit. Without liberals and blue states this country would be a strip mined prison camp on fire
- Comment on AI experts return from China stunned: The U.S. grid is so weak, the race may already be over 2 weeks ago:
Yeah. Kind of amazing that for all of their America first bullshit rhetoric, Republicans have consistently and routinely neglected our infrastructure to focus time and money on gays, immigrants, and giving out blowies to billionaires
- Comment on ChatGPT 5 power consumption could be as much as eight times higher than GPT 4 — research institute estimates medium-sized GPT-5 response can consume up to 40 watt-hours of electricity 2 weeks ago:
But we get a huge increase in accuracy, from 30% to 30.5%! And it only took 5x the energy consumption!

Sure, go ahead, stand with Israel. See how much they stand by you when you’re own citizens are coming for you
- Comment on IGN Boss Leaving After Six Years Following Latest Mass Layoff 2 weeks ago:
I still have most of my old next Gen issues, with the demo CD roms. I think I have the entire run of PC Accel, which unfortunately was just way too ahead of it’s time. Look up the story if your can find it, it was pulling in more and more subscribers every month but the publisher scrapped it because basically, it was subversive, it was 18+, it was viciously critical of games and the industry when warranted but also gave the best praise to those that earned it. It was the non-douche precursor to Maxim(if you can believe such a thing exists).
It’s a sad story, after they got shuttered, the lead editor and several others put most of their own money on the line to try and restart the company publish new issues, but this was long before the Internet had any social immediacy. Subscribers mostly didn’t hear about them trying to restart, there was no real forum or community where people could keep up on the topic and join the cause. I found out like 4 months after they tried to restart and was devastated, I had no idea and would have resubscribed in a heart beat.
It’s also really shady how the publisher discontinued it. I had already subscribed for the next two years and I think they canceled it with like a year and a few months left and so then I just started to get PC gamer, not even a refund.

- Comment on IGN Boss Leaving After Six Years Following Latest Mass Layoff 2 weeks ago:
Other than being in existence longer than pretty much any other game review platform, ign still isn’t that great, or accurate. Reviews have been meh for the last decade or more.
Now PC Accel, THAT was a fucking gaming magazine

- Comment on Cat soap operas and babies trapped in space: the ‘AI slop’ taking over YouTube 2 weeks ago:
I legitimately want a setting on YouTube to block/remove AI content for my account. It’s all fucking trash. Normally a company would want to introduce features that are desirable to customers, but it won’t happen this time. Billionaires are all in on AI, and they don’t want to lose money if/when it flops, so I’m sure they’ll be no way for people to prevent AI being shoved down their throat
- Comment on No, the UK’s Online Safety Act Doesn’t Make Children Safer Online 2 weeks ago:
It will make kids really good at bypassing the restrictions that get put in place, which will probably require them to go to some of the shadier places on the web, which could put them in more danger.
The people who made these rules don’t understand the fundamental rule of the internet: any online restriction put in place, can be overcome with tools and knowledge that are also readily available on the Internet
- Comment on New study sheds light on ChatGPT’s alarming interactions with teens 3 weeks ago:
Yeah… But in order to make bubble hash you need a shitload of weed trimmings. It’s not like your just gonna watch a YouTube video, then a few hours later have a bunch of drugs you created… Unless you already had the drugs in the first place.
Also Google search results and YouTube videos arent personalized for every user, and they don’t try to pretend that they are a person having a conversation with you
- Comment on If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs? 3 weeks ago:
Wait, this model is paying based off inflation regular wage adjustments, fair market value, experience, AND overall contribution to the company?!?! How are we going to skim and grift when the employees are well paid?!

- Comment on Meet the AI vegans: They are choosing to abstain from using artificial intelligence for environmental, ethical and personal reasons. Maybe they have a point 3 weeks ago:
Stupid title, but in all honesty, now would be the time to create a new religion where there are restrictions on hyper modern things like AI, robotics, etc.
