- Comment on The Intricate history of Camel Semen extraction wasn’t really something I expected to dedicate my weekend to… 13 hours ago:
Yeah, my thought was “Man camels fuck so slowly thst poor dude has to live inside the fake camel.”
- Comment on The end of uBlock Origin in Chrome is now weeks away, not months 4 days ago:
Yeah, people call me stupid, but I have been complaining for a while about Google using its market power to bully standards that only benefit itself.
The one I got flac a lot for was the https thing. Like yes, https is good, but it also ads an often unneeded layer of complexity for small time web stuff. It also makes it slight a pain for local stuff since you can’t https an IP, it needs a domain.
On top of that, it harms one of Google’s main ad/tracking xompetitors, ISPs. Now, we can debate if tracking is good or not (its really not), but beside that point, Google has a zillion other ways to track you, ISPs, less so, they are not embedding tracking pixels and shit or backdooring your browser history. And Google gets to kneecap them by penalising anyone not using https.
They tried to do the same thing to other competition by pushing to kill cookies, but backed off. Once again, is tracking good or bad? Not the debate here. But Google tracks you other ways, many of their competitors in the ad space use cookies. Or track traffix on their networks (ISPs).
Tracking good or bad is debatable, but lack of competition in pretty much anyspace is bad.
- Comment on "We made a series of mistakes": GOG apologise for emailing Nazi symbols to people in newsletter about Slavic fantasy game 1 week ago:
As much as I hate it, some.business entities kind of feel they need to be there to spread news.
On the other hand, I hate when its the only/primary way.
Like Fortnite news is all posted to Twitter. Fucking stop that, I blocked Twitter for a reasn.
- Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 1 week ago:
I love how he mentions Pluto like… once.
- Comment on Pluto is still a planet, just a dwarf one 1 week ago:
Not just an American, one from Illinois. And Illinois passed a law so Pluto is legally still a planet.

- Comment on It was a lot easier to get a job back in the day 1 week ago:
Yeah, there is a conspiracy argument to be made that the shit job market is intentional to drive young people to join the military because basically everyone has realized that dying for corporate interests is stupid as fuck and that is all the military has become.
- Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek? 1 week ago:
I mean, it was like 100 years later. A lot could have changed.
- Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek? 1 week ago:
Well, at least continuity wise, the Discovery thing works. Because of these shows, it wpukd be Disco -> TOS -> TNG -> Academy
- Comment on What are some of the biggest continuity errors in Star Trek? 1 week ago:
The one that gets me me, and its a bit of a “its different” complaint. Apparently the interior designer for the original Enterprise was Vukcan, because its all white and huge.
- Comment on Online Privacy [Does It Count If You Lose Your Virginity To An Android?] 1 week ago:
Oh god I hate this shit. Like I have several emailnaddresses, sometimes I forget which I signed up on a service with, but then these sites thst just “ok, we made an account” and it doesn’t even look like a create account it looks like a sign in and fucking hell I had an account, just tell me “invalid user account” and ask me to fucking try again. Tell I fucked up and I am happy to keep fucking up until I get it right.
- Comment on Which is why I NEED this wrapped, I’m just paying homage to a time honored tradition, see? 2 weeks ago:
I assumed it was so when your rowboat out for some private time you have something to look at while fapping.
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 3 weeks ago:
And my time is just as valuabke, probably moreso. I don’t need to wait for some fumbling cashier to ask how my day was.
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 3 weeks ago:
Yes, also these are the times when the people self checking in front of you are all the people in town who haveliterally never seen a barcode before in their life, so they spend 5 mimutes puzzling over each item.
Like shit man, shoce all your shit across at once, the checkout will get it. Moce move move.
- Comment on The way "self-checkout" has been pushed on us is nothing short of injustice 3 weeks ago:
Was this at a Kroger or related store? Their stupid self checkouts are over tuned and constantly bitch about not scanning even if it scanned. The Walmart ones, for example, do not, ever. Not vocally anyway.
- Comment on these people are the worst 1 month ago:
Yeah, I try, but unevitably the ELO just gets wider and wider as the game sheds players becsuse the devs refuse to hardware ban smurf cheaters.
- Comment on William Shatner And ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ Actors React To News Of Series Ending 2 months ago:
Academy is honestly less “woke” than Discovery, or even SNW.
Basically though, these jokers HATE the gay Klingon.

Dude out here doing cable management on his breadboard.
- Comment on Epic Games just laid off over 1,000 people 2 months ago:
I will agree with that. Its just the best comparison I can personally make for buying digital assets. But while my total Fortnite spend is like, maybe $200, my SL spend is probably $1000+ at this point.
- Comment on Epic Games just laid off over 1,000 people 2 months ago:
The best comparison I have is Second Life, which I have played pretty regularly for 20 years now. I will impulse buy so much digital cosmetic shit when it cost the equivilant of $1. I think Indid the math once because its easy to pull your fransaction history there, and I have spent like 4-5x what I spent on Fortnite, and thats including the passes in Fortnite because they tend to be an excellent value compared to everhthing else bringing everything in it down to that “$1 range”
- Comment on It's sad that people completely misunderstand what Star Trek is about. 2 months ago:
They DESPERATELY needed more episodes. Like they had this whole War College thing (don’t get me started on the stupid name), and then suddenly it was just kind of gone.
- Comment on Epic Games just laid off over 1,000 people 2 months ago:
Sweeney said it’s due to the "downturn in Fortnite engagement that started in 2025 means we’re spending significantly more than we’re making,
As someone who used to play a lot of Fortnite, I basically stopped because theybrefused to fix all of the glaring problems with the game. I am sure dumping devs will help with that.
- Matchmaking is complete ass.
- Just add the ability to play vs bots with no humans
- Stop trying to optimize experience gains for fucking making me have to play 20 hours a weeknto unlock the battlepass I already bought within the 3 month window. Seriously, fucking stop, I have other things to do in life too.
- Constantly raising prices on everything. Its digital, supply is infinite, charge like $5 max and I would buy 100x more. As is, I buy nothing, because $25+ skins and $8 Jam tracks are a rip off.
The main one is the third one though. They don’t respect my time, I stop playing. The shit matchmaking would be solved by the second point.
