- Comment on School pickup lines are wild 18 minutes ago:
You can ride any vehicle you want, but will also be opened up to criticism in your decision. No need to drive a massive dodge ram thats 5’ lifted. There was a study that shows those type of trucks cannot see pedestrians in front of them, posing a risk to school children and distracted drivers.
The real issue is Big Auto circumventing laws to make these massive vehicles to avoid paying additional taxes on fuel efficient cars.
At my kids school, there’s quite a few lifted vehicles with pristine paint jobs, letting others know that they never take their car out on trails let alone use it for what it’s made for. Pathetic pavement princesses.
- Comment on card game shop 22 minutes ago:
I would love to support my LCS, but unfortunately they’re in the scalper business as I caught the owners wiping out inventory at the Big Box stores.
- Comment on card game shop 2 hours ago:
Some LCS’s (local card shops) are more Magic focused, some are more Pokémon focused, as well as Yugioh focused. They’ll still sell other product, but most likely have a core group of players who show up to play one type of game.
The LCS I used to go to sold everything, but it was largely known to be the spot to play MTG/have tournaments consistently versus their Pokémon days.
- Comment on US government uses Halo images in a call to 'destroy' immigration, Microsoft declines to comment 1 day ago:
Beneath the layers is Microsoft allowing a fascist regime, that Microsoft donated money to, to use their IP in facist promoting material.
I look forward to the day Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Apple get broken up.
- Comment on Man Alarmed to Discover His Smart Vacuum Was Broadcasting a Secret Map of His House 1 day ago:
These arricles are meant to be rage bait for the techno-illiterate. As you said, cell phones mapped your house long ago as well as your smart TV, or any appliance that requires an internet connection.
People traded in their privacy for convenience.
- Comment on From the outside looking in 3 days ago:
Germans were normal people who turned a blind eye to concentration camps as they continued on with their lives.
Just like how the majority of Americans turn a blind eye to the modern Gestapo rounding up anyone who is brown, and sending them off without due process.
- Comment on From the outside looking in 3 days ago:
You speak from privilege to think there were good times in America. If you’re a minority, you knew that was bullshit. If you knew US History, then everything is a facade.
- Comment on Corcoran Group CEO says Gen Z’s housing market struggles mirror what boomers faced 30 years ago: ‘Stop buying Starbucks coffee,’ she advises 4 days ago:
I try to sell my excess produce below grocery store pricing, but people at the meet ups always tell me how they dont have enough money or got no money, if I can give it to them for free.
Now I just give it to a food bank
- Comment on Banana 5 days ago:
The trick is to get the green/light green bananas as they begin to ripen. Buying yellow to slightly darker yellow bananas will shorten their shelf life tremendously.
I’m not a fan of freezing them as they’ll still continue to ripen. Your best case scenario if you start seeing them browning out is to make some banana bread or mix it in cupcake/cake mix.
Or stick it up your butt.
- Comment on Big Brother just got an upgrade. Starting December, Amazon’s Ring cameras will scan and recognize faces. Don’t want to be in their database? Too bad — walk past a Ring and your face can be stored... 3 weeks ago:
I really don’t care what Amazon does with Ring’s facial recognition. The populace doesnt give a fuck and trust me, I tried to give a damn but its like going up against a tide of stupidity that keeps smashing. No one bats an eye with Costco/WalMart/Target facial recognition software, let alone caring enough how companies like Apple sell your data or manipulate your wants/needs down to the pervasive marketing tactics that are threading the line of psyops.
Idiocracy came a lot sooner than expected and there is no closing that Pandora’s box. I still try to refrain from and mask my digital footprint, but sadly with how how easily our data is passed around like a ladyboy aboard a navy ship, we’re doomed
- Comment on Abu Dhabi royal family to take stake in TikTok US under Trump deal * It will become platform owned by different bastards 4 weeks ago:
Hate to break it to you but the media as ALWAYS been rightwing; the outlets are owned by Oligarchs who benefit the most from in-class fighting among citizens as long as theyre distracted from the wealth inequality.
- Comment on Come back to this post in 2030's 5 weeks ago:
It’s as non-corpo until the big bucks start swinging here. Enjoy it while it lasts, or until all freedom of speech is gone
- Comment on Mods react as Reddit kicks some of them out again: “This will break the site” 5 weeks ago:
I was permabanned for saying fascists need to get curb stomped like one forefathers did.
I like how Reddit hosts the most hateful, vile, racist subreddits and bans people like me for not condoning it. That doublespeak is chefs kiss
- Comment on Australian anti-porn group claims responsibility for Steam's new censorship rules in victory against 'porn sick brain rotted pedo gamer fetishists', and things only get weirder from there 2 months ago:
McCarthyism back on the menu, heterosexual boys!
- Comment on Steam Users Rally Behind Anti-Censorship Petition 2 months ago:
Consumers punting the accountability and responsibility of their demise to the next generation of consumers. I hate how feeble and weak willed we are all as a species.
- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 6 months ago:
Lmao you said it makes no sense in regards to the material being used to groom children. I don’t need to hold your hand in that thought process on why it can potentially groom or foster that behavior. Go eat curb
- Comment on Instagram Is Full Of Openly Available AI-Generated Child Abuse Content. 6 months ago:
Found the guy who watches said content. I hope you never plan on having kids.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 months ago:
I applaud her for fighting against the ocean tide. Our clothes are made from slave/child labor as well as most of our electronics. Expecting fellow Microsoft employees who are very comfortable in their position to give that up because of AI killing people?
I absolutely hate how apathetic the world is. It should never be “that’s the way it is” because we, humans, let it get this far. Are corporations to be blamed, consumers, or both?
Who’s turn is it to pass the hot potato?
- Comment on Reddit could soon punish users for upvoting violent content. 7 months ago:
I was banned for saying fascists need to be hung, appeal rejected. While you got that r/conservative sub and others like it being well, fascist and calling for Liberals demise.
Seems to me Reddit is a OK with hate speech as long as you hate the right kind.
