I think an alarming number of Gen Z internet folks find it funny to skew the results of anonymous surveys.
- Comment on Here’s an idea 3 days ago:
I agree that this a colossally stupid idea.
However, it has the virtue of not being every other word I read online. For the novelty of it, I thank you.

Why, you didn’t even post this!

I mean aside from the glass eye, he seems relatively healthy.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 1 week ago:
Very much this.
I was hoping to imply that with the phrase “road users” but I wasn’t explicit about it.
Cyclists too. If you can’t keep a cyclist safe you shouldn’t be allowed in a car.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 1 week ago:
Yes. Don’t listen to people who tell you not to.
The indicator is for communicating your intent to change the position (which lane you’re in) or direction (turning in or out of a road, parking space, etc.) of your car.
The safest thing you can do as a driver is to be PREDICTABLE to other drivers. The indicator communicates necessary information for other drivers to predict your actions.
Not using one when changing the position or direction of your car is inconsiderate and dangerous to other road users. It is also illegal.
Use them. Please.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 week ago:
You mean to tell me that not bashing children’s heads against a rock is a uniquely christian value.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 week ago:
You, specifically, possibly. I don’t know you and I certainly don’t care who “your people” are. But if you rely on a sky fairy to tell you it’s bad to bludgeon children to death rather than having basic compassion to tell you, signs aren’t good for you. All you’d need is for a charismatic sociopath to tell you the magic cloud genie changed its mind and then it’s all of our brains bashed in. History has proven that.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 week ago:
And this is why religions are so dangerous and terrifying right here.
If you can’t answer that question on your own, you are frightening.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 week ago:
Sin is defined is an act in defiance of god. There is no god to defy.
Your question presumes that harm can only come from sin. That presumption is nonsensical in the absence of a god.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 1 week ago:
Sin is a myth. There is no god to judge you.
Consider the harm your actions and beliefs cause. The rest is bullshit.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
It’s important to note that even in that scenario, he’s limited to a total of 10 years. If he would take over from a VP position, he could exceed 10 total years as POTUS.
Whatever “limited” means in the current state of things is another question.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 weeks ago:
If we’re being real, it’s not likely at all. He’s probably safer than Biden was.
Not only does the secret service impose incredibly tight security (not perfect, mind you), but Trump doesn’t go anywhere except the White House and his shithole golf course.
In order to assassinate him, it would probably have to be an inside job. That seems exceptionally unlikely.

Is he good enough to be a coach? Or a trainer? Or work in sports tech? Media?
Maybe he can find a way to be invoked without being locked in on being a player on the field at the top level. If what he loves is the game, he can be a part of making the game better or safer or reach more people.

You are incorrect. The republican party is the party of bigotry and cruelty. To vote for them is an explicit endorsement. Adults are accountable for their allegiances and their actions, and we have had decades to learn.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
When you need to resort to “but I have black friends” to defend racism, you’ve lost.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
Electing republicans is in itself blatantly racist.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
I certainly hope your turn to fight it never comes.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
People said everything you’re saying 30 years ago and used it to justify letting fascism grow unchecked. Now we’re here and you are still afraid to be firm. You are why they’re in power.
No more compromises. No more chances. No more conversations. People are being abducted. People are dying. There’s no time left for patience.
They change NOW. Or they can fuck off.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
I’m not interested in the reasoning behind bigotry.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
I am being clear. This debate is over.
- Comment on So this is it, is trump god? Will Republicans sacrifice their own well being to own the libs? 2 weeks ago:
Incontinence isn’t much of a put-down at this point. Trump has literally been in diapers for over a decade.

Blocked.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
Nope. They’ve had plenty of time to see the results of their actions. They’re complicit at this point.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
Zero irony. Nothing funny here. Nazis fuck off. Republicans fuck off. Trumpers fuck off.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
Don’t apologize.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
Same with smallpox.
And we’re capable of better now.
- Comment on The best thing *you* can do for the fediverse is *just be kind* 2 weeks ago:
Unless you’re a republican or other type of nazi. Then you can absolutely go all the way to hell.
Tolerance got us here.
- Comment on Anthropic has developed an AI 'brain scanner' to understand how LLMs work and it turns out the reason why chatbots are terrible at simple math and hallucinate is weirder than you thought 2 weeks ago:
Don’t tell me that my thoughts aren’t weird enough.
- 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? 3 weeks ago:
I hang myself with the seatbelt.
