It is incredibly easy to buy likes / posts / etc, if it was entirely bots, that’s only like $50.
Kinda worrying that you can push basically whatever narrative you want very cheaply on any social media.
- Comment on Would you ever call your son a disappointment? 3 days ago:
This is some really heavy parenting. I hope I’d never have to, but if it was warranted it would be very important that it was actionable. I.e., I’m disappointed in you because you’re doing [x] and you need to do [y]. It’s my job as a parent in this situation to communicate why and how to do better.

Not a wearable, but I have an air quality monitor hooked up in my office and those usually trigger VOC alerts.
- Comment on Alternatives to unmanic & tdarr? 1 week ago:
There isn’t anything else I’ve found beyond those two that is adaptive. From what I’ve seen, you’ll have to give up a lot.
Unlike Tdarr though, Unmanic does have a proper open source license. If you take that to it’s logical conclusion, any freemium options are a bit optional.

Pretty sure it’s Hannah Owo.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
I do the same. Putting the most calorie dense food on the least. It’s just an edible spoon at that point.
- Comment on It's all SO simple! 1 week ago:
People should be wary of voluntarily fasting for more than a day or two. Can be fine, but can also lead to lasting complications, may be too late by the time you feel bad. Ramadan/etc usually only involve intermittent fasting spread out over a period of time.

Celery is probably the best we got and it kinda sucks and I think maybe I’d rather die.
- Comment on Dear Faith II 2 weeks ago:
Haven’t been able to locate the definitive source, but there are several of these out there with Faith and Professor Kutaywa.
Believe it originates somewhere on LinkedIn, but very rare for a LinkedIn meme to escape the platform.

Maybe just a little now my friend, even super discounted, you could find 5 cars that would net you over 100 million.
- Comment on I'll take 4 and 8 2 weeks ago:
You’re seriously underestimating the potential value of 7.
The most expensive car ever sold was a 1955 Mercedes Benz coming in at around $140 million.
- Comment on Netflix's $82.7 billion deal to buy Warner has been dramatically gazumped by Paramount, to the tune of $111 billion 2 weeks ago:
I kinda feel like having it all fall apart might be the best case scenario for everyone.
- Comment on The script is mysterious and important. 3 weeks ago:
Back in the late 90s, I have no idea how you’d pitch that any other way. It’s a miracle that movie got made.
- Comment on Amazon Change Means Wishlists Might Expose Your Address 3 weeks ago:
Thousands of Onlyfans girls crying out in terror. Hopefully there’s an opt out, but I don’t see how that would make sense for Amazon.
Someone is going to make some money with a packaging forwarding business catering to that market.
- Comment on Cows are magnetic and it's about time we accepted that 3 weeks ago:
So, you can actually use cows as a compass to a point.
Cows pretty consistently tend to align themselves on a north-south axis when resting. I don’t believe anyone has ever figured out why.
- Comment on We All Know This Guy 3 weeks ago:
I looked him up a bit, not enough out there about his early life for me to definitively say it was his birth name, but looks like it’s likely at least his real legal name at the moment.
Nominative Determinism strikes again.

Ghost sharks, they could have been anywhere when they were alive.
- Comment on Beast Mode 3 weeks ago:
Mr Beast chooses to do his charity through the medium of sociopathic reality tv games.
It is weird when you notice that every game he sets up eventually boils down to either ‘Betray your friends’ or ‘Sacrifice your dignity’.
- Comment on HAIL HYDRA! 3 weeks ago:
I’m speaking from experience, im that guy who said you might have to get out every root. Maybe we were special or maybe it was just the right environment but I started finding it in random patches coming up all over my old back yard. We tried digging it out, burning it, someone suggested tar, but nothing ever quite got ours.
I’m in a new house now, but never again for me.
- Comment on We're just scanning for the bear... 3 weeks ago:
Was going to say nearly the same. We’re conditioned to always fabricate a guise of confidence and the body language you give off ‘scanning the periphery’ comes off as the opposite of that.
- Comment on HAIL HYDRA! 3 weeks ago:
If you haven’t had bamboo before, can also spread unpredictably and it’s more difficult to get rid of than you expect. The varieties that tend to grow smaller are worse.
- Comment on This MF is quadrupling down and dropping Alien files before dropping the full, unredacted Epstein Files. GODDAMN. 4 weeks ago:
Back around… 2020 or so we had a release of files that were basically ‘There are some weird flying things and we have no clue what they were’. After that we had that some coverage a few years back confirming that all of that led to ‘No definite evidence of aliens’ but I feel like I remember just last year we had a congressional hearing with some guy who worked for the DoD saying Aliens did exist and we had captured some of those UAPs. However, then again… I do think said guy who was most vocal on those hearings had a book he was trying real hard to sell.
Who wants to take the bet that Trump is going to take a financial interest in some guy selling books on this and prop him up as ‘the’ expert.
- Comment on Texas Republican Primary having a normal one 4 weeks ago:
It’s a matter of semantics. Yeah, you could stretch it, but everyone is going to look at you weird if you try to put America in the same bucket as some of the countries that are really known for this stuff.
- Comment on In hindsight why was/is america upset they elected a leader who constantly lies while making fun of politicians literally and figurativly for years that they lie there ass off? Y B Shocked? 4 weeks ago:
A lot of people are assuming that Americans are regretting their vote… And some are.
But, important to remember that a tremendous amount live in an entirely different media echo chamber and don’t believe anything negative about Trump and have no regrets. Everything negative we’ve seen is positioned so it seems like a good thing for them and anything bad that happens is someone else’s fault.
Also, important to remember that a lot of us have ended up in an echo chamber of our own just with a different agenda. Trust no one.
- Comment on Thursday: AMA with Karim Diané! 4 weeks ago:
Still a new actor with limited following and I know it could just blow through, but I wonder if we’re ready for the traffic you could see from a real AMA.

This just makes me realize how much I want an open world star wars racing game.
- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 5 weeks ago:
Garnishment percentage is calculated based on income after taxes/social security/etc.
- Comment on Why didn't the mother just use her private doctor on her yacht? 5 weeks ago:
Federal law should cap that at 25% and that should be after taxes and related items are taken out. It’s also shared between all garnishments, so if you have 2 or 3 garnishments it shouldn’t exceed 25% overall. This is still a huge amount, but that should be as high as it can go in the US. Some states do have lower limits, but a 35% rate should be illegal in the US.

If you’re telling me that’s never ended up in you ordering Doordash from like 3 places at once when you really shouldn’t have, I don’t believe you.
- Comment on 'What a great way to kill your community': Discord users are furious about its new age verification checks — and are now hunting for alternatives 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t even heard about it on Discord itself.
Anecdotal obviously, but I’m not sure it’s a big news story on corporate media sites.
