Thanks for nothing, Elliott Prick.
Also, fuck you.

Every day I lose more ability to spot satire. I seriously can’t tell in this case. It could be true. It really could.
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 2 days ago:
Whenever any one of these assholes opens their yap in public, the only response they should hear back is, “You need us. We don’t need you. Shut the fuck up.”
- Comment on CEO of Palantir Says AI Means You’ll Have to Work With Your Hands Like a Peasant 2 days ago:
We “peasants” are the only reason the filthy rich have what they have, including food, and clean water to drink. They need us, we don’t need them.
Fuck these useless leeches. Billionaires should not exist.
- Comment on You are allowed flavor 2 days ago:
My not-a-good joke that I’ll say anyway is, when someone asks my age, I’ll say something obviously too young, like 25. They’ll smirk or roll their eyes, and I’ll continue, “I am twenty-five years old, but I’m also sixty.”
No one has ever laughed. And, that’s why I keep saying it. Someday, someone will laugh, I just know it!

Onion on a grilled cheese? Yes, please. And, some green olives, too.
- Comment on do most people really like the taste and smell of eggs? 2 days ago:
Love them. I’d prefer they didn’t have runny yolks, but I will eat them that way, and any other way.
I could eat a dozen hard-boiled eggs a day, except that would make me sick. I tried to use eggs to up my protein intake several years ago, I was eating four a day, but that upset my tummy. I can have one a day, but usually I only have about three a week, because I don’t really need them, I just like them, so I spend my food budget elsewhere.
- Comment on You won: Microsoft is walking back Windows 11’s AI overload — scaling down Copilot and rethinking Recall in a major shift 3 days ago:
I thought I’d miss Windows more than I do, but there was no way in hell I was going to install 11.
Glad I switched. Literally, the only feature I miss is the big, multi-format preview pane in File Explorer. That was very handy.

Warm in living room, bedroom, and hallway.
Cold everywhere else. So, bathroom, kitchen, garage, and closet.
Warm where you want cozy. Cold where you want honesty.

Nice car. All electric, I see. So, do you, uh, have a girlfriend?

- Comment on So disappointing 5 days ago:
Once cracked, a glow stick only lasts a short time.
I’d suggest that you wouldn’t want that, but… who knows? It would be interesting if we glowed brightly in the visible light spectrum (to short circuit the “well, ackshully” comments), just before we passed on.

There’s no such thing as a true 1st person game.
So, everything is a simulation? I mean, when I play cards with my friends it sure does seem like they’re right in front of me, across the table, cheating and eating my nachos.
- Comment on Can anyone explain why? 6 days ago:
“Fading”, more like jumped off a cliff.
There is no safe amount of alcohol to drink.
Everyone is broke.
They watched their parents make asses of themselves while drunk, and today everyone has a video camera in their hand.

After the divorce, those clothes occupy the vacated half of the bed.
- Comment on 6 days ago:
In typesetting, numbers ten and under are always spelled out, and also numbers at the start of a sentence of any size. Numbers one, through ninety-nine are hyphenated if spelled out, ninety-nine percent of typesetters agree. Also, the “and” is frowned upon. It should be “three hundred and twenty-seven”, if quoting, if that is what was said, but three hundred twenty-seven otherwise.
However, numerals in text is fine, outside of the limitations above, and there are lowercase numerals in many classic typefaces that are less jarring to the eye in body type than the uppercase numerals.
- Comment on Epstein files photos appear to show Andrew on all fours over female 6 days ago:
The most interesting thing to come out of all that was to discover what an absolute fucking moron he is. Room temp IQ.
- Comment on If cannibalism were the norm and human meat was freely available in grocery stores, there would surely be people who prefered to eat only the meat of people of their own ethnicity or only women's meat 6 days ago:
I’m guessing it’s hard to tell what color the skin is once it’s cooked, so they’ll insist on picking the cut with the skin on, like choosing a lobster out of a tank, and then watching it be prepared to ensure “purity”. And, of course, to choose gender, they’d need to see the important bits intact. Also, no tattoos, and as few moles or other imperfections as possible.
This is why our meat sources need to be raised in clean, controlled conditions from birth, you want to know what you’re eating.
(Holy crap, people are fucked up.)

I suppose porn is always the first profitable use for a new tech.
- Comment on I still haven't figured out how to do this 1 week ago:
Illustrator was first, and, like all Adobe products, it has kept a lot of quirks from its past. They have worked to bring them closer, but there are fundamental differences between editing vector and editing pixel images. If you use both tools daily, the quirks they’ve kept sort of make sense.
Adobe didn’t have a page layout program till they bought Aldus Pagemaker, which they kept going until they developed InDesign. They left Pagemaker to rot while they pushed InDesign. So InDesign was made with a similar interface to Photoshop. Same for the others–they came after Photoshop gained traction, so they all have a similar UI.
As a graphic designer, starting in '92, I used QuarkExpress, PageMaker, Illustrator, Photoshop, InDesign, CorelDraw, and even Corel PhotoPaint. I also used Blender. I knew what each could do better than the other, and used the right tool for the job. Out of all of them CorelDraw was the most complete and broadly competent–it’s Illustrator and InDesign combined. I used Corel Draw and Photoshop 80% of the time.
I don’t know if it’s still true, but for many years, Illustrator only had marquee select by touching, and didn’t have marquee select by enclosing. Corel Draw has both, with enclosing being the default. With marquee select by enclosing, the need for layers is far less. Layers in Illustrator are needed primarily to ease selecting of multiple objects. If you wanted to select that collection of small circles that was totally enclosed by that translucent box in front of it, and they weren’t on separate layers, you had a bad time.
- Comment on “IG is a drug”: Internal messages may doom Meta at social media addiction trial 1 week ago:
Disable YT history. Make YT Subscriptions page your home page. Now all you see are the most recent videos from your subscribed channels. You can keep up with them without being distracted by garbage suggestions. It’s a much better experience.
- Comment on I hope hell is like a microwave so if you find the right spot, you're ok 1 week ago:
I think hell is a non-stop party. Think of all the people who are there–everyone who loves rock music, used drugs, and had sex before marriage. Why would Beelzebub torture his own? We all buddies.
Now think of all the people we’re told go to heaven. Do you really want to hang out with them for eternity?
- Comment on Do people eat this? 1 week ago:
“So, you’re saying if you put a slice of bread between two slices of bread, then that’s a bread sandwich?”
“Well, yes, technically. But, you wouldn’t eat it that way.”
- Comment on We really need to be more wary of everything that promises to do more, faster. 1 week ago:
Yeah, it’s always about the rich getting rich faster in the end. That’s why efficiency and productivity are pushed so hard. And, then the poors take that idea to heart as if they’ll gain from it themselves.
- Comment on Gail the snail? 1 week ago:
My now-ex-wife used to let our young son climb into my half of the bed right after school. I’d come home to sand in my bed. It took me a while to figure out she was doing it on purpose. A few years later, I discovered she was cheating on me. Now, I happily sleep alone in a sand-free bed.
- Comment on It still blows my mind how ubiquitous communication is now. I just had someone message me instantly from a ship in the Mediterranean, while I'm on a flight in the US. 1 week ago:
Being out of contact is underrated these days.
Used to be, on a flight or a train, and in many other scenarios, you weren’t expected to work or be contactable. It was time to sit with your thoughts, read something fun, sleep, or converse quietly with someone next to you, often a stranger. That was GOOD, not bad.

Ah, I remember this. Has it really been two years since the tongue-lympics were held in Japan?

Same, and I didn’t understand the teapot one, either.
- Comment on Perceiving AI as a 'job killer' negatively influences attitudes towards democracy— When people perceive AI as replacing human labour, trust in democracy and political participation decline 1 week ago:
Perceiving AI as a ‘job killer’ negatively influences attitudes towards democracy…
Towards democracy, or towards AI? I feel like this is bait and switch.
