- Comment on European police say KidFlix, "one of the largest pedophile platforms in the world," busted in joint operation. 1 day ago:
I’m sure many of them numb themselves to it, and pretend it isn’t real in order to do the job. Then unfortunately, I’m sure some of them get addicted themselves.
Similar to undercover cops who do drugs while undercover, then get addicted to the drugs.

Self driving vehicles should be against the law.

I just find it better, to do a little research on formulas, and figuring it out yourself. You’ll become better at spreadsheets. I’d have to try it though, it would depend on the actual implementation of it.

Exactly.

Microsoft Office is adding in AI? Spreadsheets can take a lot of work to create, I can just imaging an AI tool going in the messing one little thing up, and it being near impossible to find the error. Or not even know your calculations aren’t being done the way you want.

Agreed.

Or maybe a cult of personality has you captured, preventing you from being able to see it from both sides point of view as I am doing.
You don’t have to agree with the other side in order to see it from their perspective.
- Comment on Teslas have been consuming a lot of gasoline lately. 1 week ago:
You know what, the first time, I totally read your comment completely different than how you meant it. So my previous reply would have been different.
Even so, my comment was not disgusting, it was just using logic.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
lol, okay that’s funny. But there are people on both sides I’d give it to.
- Comment on Teslas have been consuming a lot of gasoline lately. 1 week ago:
Everyone acting like its okay to burn up teslas of uninvolved people because you disapprove of what Musk is doing. Then you should have no argument against pro-lifers burning down abortion clinics because they disapprove of what the doctors there are doing. Just saying.
- Comment on Internet forums are disappearing because now everything is Reddit and Discord. And that's worrying. 1 week ago:
Web rings still exist, you just wouldn’t know it because search engines don’t show you the types of sites that use them, which is usually personal sites.
I sometimes use excite.com (oldschool) for searching, and get better results than the major ones, sometimes not. Most people have no clue its even still up. I haven’t dug much, so I don’t know much about its current state. Like tripod sites, how they still exist but are full of hidden junk.

There are tons of forums out there, the search engines just won’t show them to you. The search engines are the real problem.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 week ago:
Well, non-citizens aren’t protected under the first amendment. I agree though, he should be able to express his opinions without getting in trouble for it. But from the articles I read, it sounded like physical things happened at the protests. Maybe not from him specifically (I don’t know), but because he is not a citizen, he does not have all the same rights as a citizen. As it has been since before the current administration, if a non-citizen is suspected as a possible threat to the country based on speech alone, then the government deals with them, first by investigating the situation. The few articles I read were all general and not specific so I don’t know the full reason, or what he actually said at the protests. So I try not to make opinions on these things without plenty of info.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 week ago:
To start, he is not a US citizen. Yes, he is here legally. But when you are not a citizen, you have to be more careful what you say, this is how it’s been since way before Trump became president. You do not have all the same rights as a citizen, when you are not a citizen. I read a couple articles about him, but I am not aware of what all happened with the previous protests, sounds like others got in trouble as well.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 1 week ago:
True true! But there’s a reason why I’ve only bought used.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’ll read it.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Guess I haven’t heard about that one.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve seen similar options, but haven’t heard of this one. Looks like my 17 yr old comp might be compatible. I wonder how compatible though, since most of my USB ports already don’t work with my supported OS.
Anyway, thanks, I’ll look more into it.

I guess that’s true. But both are acting everyone just has money to waste.
- Comment on Microsoft tells Windows 10 users to just trade in their PC for a newer one, because how hard can it be? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not using windows, but apple does the same thing. My OS is 9 versions old because they won’t let me upgrade without buying a new computer.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Are you referring to illegal aliens?
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 weeks ago:
Protest for what? Not sure if you are referring to something in particular, or just in general.
The majority of people were tired of the democrats, and like what the republicans are doing. Under Biden for the past 4 years, I saw way more people who were democrat become republican, than I saw republicans become democrat.
I’ve seen one protest where I live, and there were maybe 30 people there.
- Comment on Multiple Tesla vehicles were set on fire in Las Vegas and Kansas City 2 weeks ago:
And to go and take it out on people who aren’t involved, just because they own a vehicle. Childish brats.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
But it did, more than once. Its been years since it happened though. I cant remember the amount of OT I worked that caused it.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
Well, it has happened more than once. Of course it would depend on the amount of overtime I worked. It probably happened if I only worked a little OT.
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve had jobs (more than one), where working OT would result in my paycheck take home pay being less than if I had not worked the extra hours. And that’s because it moved me into the next bracket, and more taxes were taken out. So why waste my time working OT?

Yes, at least an acre. .25 is nothing.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 weeks ago:
I would be more okay with property tax, IF once you reached a certain age (or disabled), you were not required to pay property tax.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 weeks ago:
That’s the part that upsets me the most. If you save up the money to fix up your house, the gov charges you more for it. How aggregating. Makes me not want to “own” property.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 weeks ago:
If you own something, and someone takes it from you, its called theft. If its not theft when they take it from you, then you didn’t own it.
