- Comment on You must take a long road trip with Donald Trump and no one else in the car. Security is everywhere; no one is in danger. You drive and control the radio, but can only play music. What's the playlist? 4 days ago:
I hang myself with the seatbelt.
- Comment on Why don’t brands make simpler names? 6 days ago:
PC component makers used to. They found it hard to swindle people into buying what was most profitable over what was best performing, so they deliberately made their naming schemes incomprehensible.
- Comment on Why A Record 8.9 Million Americans Are Working Multiple Jobs 1 week ago:
Because wages are too low.
Next.
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 2 weeks ago:
I’d construe that as a threat.

Nobody said that doing what’s right would be easy. Or safe. Only that it’s worth doing.
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 2 weeks ago:
100% of all of it. You have the RIGHT. Not priviliege, not favor, not permission. RIGHT.
- Comment on How likely is the US government going to identify and arrest every online user who have disagreed with the current administration? 2 weeks ago:
The logical conclusion is that absolute suppression is not as effective as the authorities would like us to believe.

I have the RIGHT to freedom of speech and expression and I will not waive it for Trump or anyone else. Without it, there is no United States.
Fuck Donald Trump. Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck the Republicans. Fuck the oligarchy. Fuck authoritarianism. Fuck this fear, and fuck advance compliance.
I serve no fucking king.
- Comment on Windows 11 will soon let you know why your PC hardware sucks: Windows 11 will be able to explain why your PC needs more RAM and a better GPU. 2 weeks ago:
Now that you mention it, yes. I’d forgotten because I barely used Vista. I ran it as a dual boot with XP and wound up staying on XP most of the time. Didn’t really switch over till 7.

Maybe if you were fluent in English you could have said what you meant in one attempt.

It makes me uncomfortable when people suffer so I just pretend their suffering isn’t real when it challenges me.
FTFY

Oh you mean like Windows 7 did
- Comment on How Tesla blew its lead. 2 weeks ago:
For sure.
A Model 3 from early 2024 really feels 5-10 years behind a 2026 Kia or Hyundai at this point.
They lost the plot big time somewhere around mid-2022 I think. Would be interesting to learn if Elon started some new designer drug or something around then.

The fact that it’s bad doesn’t make it impossible.

Oh hey it’s the same corporate troll line again cool

With no DOE employees to process defaults?
Nobody should be paying a red cent.
If your choice is draining your entire bank account to the point you can’t afford to live or suffering a credit score penalty, then the credit score should be sacrificed.
“but they can…”
Stop. Nothing they can do is worse than starving. Don’t pay them. Use your money for your own needs.

- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 3 weeks ago:
You mean shitposting on reddit or not caring about their agenda?
- Comment on Reddit will warn users who repeatedly upvote banned content 4 weeks ago:
Well, you are certainly entitled to that opinion even though it’s wrong, and I do think banning you for it is also wrong.
There’s a big difference between having ideas and taking actions. Ideas cannot be allowed to become illegal. Even disgusting ones.
The correct response to unconscionable ideas is social, not institutional.

Nah, just circumvent with revanced and poison the well.
- Comment on Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content. 4 weeks ago:
I got banned from r/politics in 2019 by replying to
We should treat Trump exactly how he treats immigrants.
with
What do you mean, shoot him?
Appeal wasn’t ignored. Instead, it was mocked.
So yeah I’m going to get banned. But not before I poison their AI data pool as much as I can.

Because you are not the main character of the universe.
You will leave behind consequences for your actions. The consequences of the actions of others gave you the world you have lived in, as will the consequences of your shape the world of the future.
There is nothing after death and we all know that, so all there’s left to plan for after you die is the legacy of what you did while you were here.
Speaking for me, I value the idea that the consequences of my life wind up being more positive than negative for future generations. I also value feeling like I’ve changed things for the better now, and so when I have a platform or any influence I aim for that.
If you don’t care about any of that, please seek counseling. The rest of us will be better off with fewer narcissists.
