Agreed. I’m American and think American manufacturers make the ugliest and worst cars. Outside of the Corvette, which remains the best spots car in it’s price range.
- Comment on Why Americans Can’t Buy the World’s Best Electric Car 6 days ago:
Wish I could upvote twice. As far as I’m aware there’s about 5 American politicians who actually care about more than just lining their pockets.
- Comment on Take a deep breath and think about it 1 week ago:
Yeah, always seemed so wrong that so many people just stagnate. Like they reach some imaginary milestone and just stop improving and float through life. There’s room to improve almost everything in life, why the heck would you settle?
- Comment on Tesla's European car sales nosedive for fifth month as customers switch to Chinese EVs 3 weeks ago:
Agreed. This system of giving out money and getting what we paid for sold back to us is fucking dumb.

I’ve never worked for a company where the CEO was a value add.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 weeks ago:
Get a filter for your tap water, then get the water cold. Both will reduce the flavor of the water, leaving you with crisp, neutral flavored water. If that doesn’t do it for you, look into an at home carbonation system, there’s guides for making your own if you don’t wanna do premade.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 5 weeks ago:
Yup, this is why the $80 price tag doesn’t bother me. I’ve got a backlog of games I want to play that I probably already can’t finish in my lifetime. This will be $20 a year post release and in two years that $20 will get you all the dlc as well.
- Comment on The Outer Worlds 2 - Official Story Trailer | Xbox Games Showcase 2025 5 weeks ago:
Games at that time were cutting edge technology, distribution networks didn’t exist, physical units had to make it to stores, etc. The environment isn’t the same. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think $80 is terribly outrageous in our modern economy but at that price point it has better provide 60+ hours of entertainment. If outer worlds 2 is as good as #1 it’s worth $40 tops. I played that game end to end and can’t recall a single characters name.
- Comment on Apple just proved AI "reasoning" models like Claude, DeepSeek-R1, and o3-mini don't actually reason at all. 5 weeks ago:
The guy selling the car doesn’t tell you it runs like a horse, the guy selling you AI is telling you it has reasoning skills. AI absolutely has utility, the guys making it are saying it’s utility is nearly limitless because Tesla has demonstrated there’s no actual penalty for lying to investors.

- Comment on Meta shareholders overwhelmingly rejected a proposal to explore adding Bitcoin to the company's treasury, with less than 1% voting in favor of the measure 1 month ago:
I had an acquaintance ask me about my opinion on crypto a few years ago and I explained it only has the perceived value and is highly volatile as a result, and that all but a few coins were basically rug pulls waiting to happen. He was satisfied with that and moved on. About a year later crypto had roughly doubled in value and he gave me shit about bad advice (it was an opinion not investment advice) and proceeded to move $10k into some coin I’d never heard of. About a month later a mutual friend said the other guy had lost like $8k of his $10k investment. Next time I saw the acquaintance there was no mention of crypto.

You can literally wear a mask and just put tape over a couple cameras while it’s stopped at a light and the whole thing will just freak out

Rom hacks can be so good, but why can’t we move past hm’s??
- Comment on Youtuber Geekerwan has find the motherboard of Switch 2 and after reverse-engineer it have simulate the performance on a similar PC 2 months ago:
From what I’ve heard a lot of the same og programmers and animators from the game boy days are still in charge of making the games and they don’t want a large team. They also don’t want to have to work really hard or learn new skills, so basically all the work falls to inexperienced people being led by people with incredibly dated skills. Nintendo still rakes in tons of money so they don’t see the need to interject.
- Comment on You never forget your first 2 months ago:
At this point nearly any device with a screen can emulate SNES games and the consoles that came before it. I have a cheap Chinese retro game handheld from Ali Express and it’s honestly so refreshing to play games that aren’t begging me to spend extra money.
Also, playing fan translations of games that weren’t released in the west like mother 3 and dragon quest monsters is so cool. 10 year old me would be so jealous.
- Comment on More Americans are financing groceries with buy now, pay later loans — and more are paying those bills late, survey says 2 months ago:
My experience is that there’s always a hidden surcharge with DD or Uber eats. Like fries are $3 if you call it in yourself, but are $3.30 or something in an app. A couple years ago I had a $10 off $40 coupon and dash pass from my credit card. Total after fees for pickup was like $55 and just calling it in myself was $45.
Not saying it’s impossible to save using them, but good luck.
- Comment on Religions have some of the wackiest rules 2 months ago:
Let’s clear it up though, it’s the guy who invented the cereal who was a nut. His brother was the one who was like “I’m gonna sell the flakes, not the dick snip bit.” They got into a huge battle when the quack doctor realized his brother was making more money selling the cereal than he was selling religious pseudoscience.

My ad blocker stops all the ads except for the sponsorships that are in the video… Y’all watching YouTube without blockers?

Bof 3 is probably a better game but 4 is definitely solid.

My area introduced tiers for medical forgiveness based on household income, even if I made twice as much there’d still be some degree of assistance. May be worth looking into for your family.
- Comment on Bill Gates Bought His Daughter A $16 Million Horse Farm As A Graduation Gift — But Ex-Wife Melinda Says The Kids Were Raised Very 'Middle Class' 2 months ago:
It’s not. If you can’t afford a dentist you’re not middle class. IDK where dude lives, but I make $100k in a major metro area in the USA and consider myself middle class. My family still qualifies for partial forgiveness from medical bills.

Well how the fuck do we get this ball rolling? I’m ready and it feels like a load of others are ready to fix this too.
- Comment on Suggestions for mouse only games? 2 months ago:
I installed PPSSPP on my phone and paired a switch joycon. Played through a few really good games that way when my kid required being held to sleep. I’d imagine you could pair one to your computer and find some games that you’d like.
- Comment on We're cooked, I'm hooked 3 months ago:
This guy is informed. Socialism got us out of the hole capitalism dug in the depression. Seeing their power slip away, conservative politicians wasted no time in shifting the narrative. The US needs another FDR to equalize things (let’s just skip the prison camps this go).
- Comment on Clean butt 3 months ago:
Exactly. There’s a learning curve but once you’ve got it, you dread wipe only bathrooms. Installed a bidet on one of my toilets six months ago and now that’s the only toilet anybody in the house poops in unless it’s already occupied.
- Comment on Best game ever? 3 months ago:
When it dropped my folks were on a trip and I was staying with my grandma. Rolled into circuit city to get a copy and then dick behind the counter told me I wasn’t old enough (12) to play the game. My grandma had my back though and told him off. Good times.
- Comment on Millennials are watching monthly student loan payments skyrocket from $500 to $5000 under Trump: This will ‘crash the economy’ 3 months ago:
My only hope is that America slingshots back to Roosevelt era policies. Wild that this exact shit happened and what saved us? Oh social programs and high tax rates on the wealthy.
- Comment on PC gamers spend 92% of their time on older games, oh and there are apparently 908 million of us now 3 months ago:
Exactly what I was thinking. While it’s a great headline the article is nonsense. What about early access? Did those players play any new games? How much time was spent afk? Were those old games new purchases? This is a cherry picked statistic and almost certainly doesn’t paint a clear picture or tell any story except “live service games work”
- Comment on Is 33 cents a small amount of money? 3 months ago:
That’s the general conservative mindset. It’s why lies work so well on them, get them to believe the lie and they’ll never let it go.
- Comment on Your all-time favorite game? Let's discuss the best options! 3 months ago:
I’m with you that my favorite changes with my mood but probably final fantasy tactics. Story is great, graphics have aged like wine, great variation in play styles, the death cries of my enemies will always play like music to me.
