- Comment on Fundies, fascists, and fundie fascist feelings don't care about your facts 3 days ago:
Being short isn’t a problem in and of itself, given the assignment, it just makes it more embarrassing how frequently it repeats itself. It’s one thing to have to repeat the same point to pad out a 20-page paper, but not being able to think of anything else to say for 650 words?
- Comment on Would it be weird of me to send friend requests to old friends I knew in school 15 years ago? 5 days ago:
I remember when that was all anyone did with Facebook.
- Comment on Is there an actual picture of Mohamed or painting that we can view? Without pissing off all of Islam? 1 week ago:
There are no surviving depictions of Muhammad made during his lifetime. Although there are surviving descriptions of Muhammad’s appearance, these are not detailed enough to create a perfectly accurate image of him. Because of this, no image of Muhammad can be perfectly accurate, meaning that any image that purports to represent him is, in some way or another, deceptive.
That’s quite a contrast with White Jesus.
- Comment on No one else in the world matters but me 1 week ago:
That’s a much more rational mentality. Driving is absurdly dangerous. If you’re killed by a human, it’s overwhelmingly likely that it will be because they hit you with a car.
- Comment on Framework stops selling separate DDR5 RAM modules to fight scalpers 1 week ago:
You might have gotten the better deal. I was tight on money, so I got a $200 B650 board. I was worried about the ASRock voltage issues, but no problems so far.
- Comment on Unethical Life Protip 1 week ago:
As long as it’s right next to the real posters, I can’t imagine that it would actually hamper the pet’s return.
- Comment on No one else in the world matters but me 1 week ago:
I think the people with this mentality are probably the same people who refuse to ride buses under any circumstances.

- Comment on An entire PS5 now costs less than 64GB of DDR5 memory, even after a discount — simple memory kit jumps to $600 due to DRAM shortage, and it's expected to get worse into 2026 1 week ago:
Yeah, I still can’t quite believe that I got 2x32 of 6400CL32 for $135 late last year. I had ordered 6000CL30 for $190, but it was taking a long time to ship, and then I saw the deal and cancelled the old order. Used up all my luck for this decade.
- Comment on Snapdragon X1 Elite Linux laptop cancelled due to performance concerns — Linux PC maker says Qualcomm CPU is ‘less suitable for Linux than expected’ 2 weeks ago:
I think they mean RISC-V, not RISC in general.
- Comment on Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang complains about stock price slide during all-hands meeting — says market did not appreciate company’s ‘incredible’ quarter 2 weeks ago:
ARM too. RISC-V or bust. The whole Nuvia thing means that SoftBank can’t be trusted.

A halfway decent SEC would be torching them right now, but I’m sure Trump has appointed people who are for sale for very cheap.
- Comment on Why isn't it considered vegan to harvest animals who die naturally? 2 weeks ago:
If you don’t make a moral distinction between humans and other animals, it seems difficult to justify scavenging with any logic that couldn’t also be used to justify grave robbing or even necrophilia.
- Comment on My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent 2 weeks ago:
Report the emails as spam, especially if they’re from the loan shark directly.
- Comment on challenge 2 weeks ago:
Wood glue won’t hurt (though you do have to wait for it to dry), but friction alone is often enough to do a decent job.
- Comment on challenge 2 weeks ago:
Otherwise known as a drywall anchor or wall plug. My parents also call them mollies, but those are different (though also often used for screwing things into drywall).
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 3 weeks ago:
I’d be worried about either compromising the insulation or having to charge my fridge camera. Remember, this is me going to great lengths to be lazy.
- Comment on The moment we've all been waiting for: you now can have targeted ads on your 2k smartfridge 3 weeks ago:
I’m all in favor of smart appliances… as long as they don’t connect to the Internet. Give me a local HomeAssistant integration. That way, I can check what’s in my refrigerator from my bed without worrying about it showing me ads.
- Comment on Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially? 3 weeks ago:
They just added ads :(
- Comment on Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially? 3 weeks ago:
For now. I’m just hoping that the Pixel lasts until Fairphone brings back the headphone jack and the car lasts until I can move somewhere where I don’t need one.
- Comment on Breaking: Google is easing up on Android's new sideloading restrictions! 3 weeks ago:
Not enough cooling. A better idea would be to release a Steam Deck 2 with the same form factor as the 1 and a Steam Deck Mini with a phone form factor and the same performance as the original Deck.
- Comment on Do you have a flagship phone or a car that's 2021/newer but are struggling financially? 3 weeks ago:
As of a couple of months ago, sort of. I have a Google Pixel 8 and only recently got a reasonably well-compensated job. I got the phone in 2023, shortly before I was laid off, and it was on a fire sale in anticipation of the Pixel 9 released, so I’m only paying $4/month for it, $100 total plus the $70 up front.
My car is a 2007 model year that I could only afford because it was in an accident previously, though.
- Comment on AI country singer Breaking Rust tops Billboard with ‘Walk My Walk’ 3 weeks ago:
9/11 ruined country music.
- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 4 weeks ago:
Not quite. Round 33 will have 2^32 people, or a bit over half the population of Earth. Remember, round 1 has one person, 2^(0), not 2^(1).
- Comment on 2³² will get interesting... 4 weeks ago:
But once you get to round 33, everyone on earth is tied to the track, so there’s no one to pull the lever. That means that the trolley safely passes by, giving everyone ample time to free themselves. Eventually, the trolley stops due to friction with the track and air, plus brakes if it’s using them, and then we all stop getting tied to tracks.
- Comment on Are you friends with any AI bots? 4 weeks ago:
Not a modern program, but I don’t see anything that makes me think that programs will never be capable of metacognition. LLMs won’t, but they aren’t the be-all end-all.
- Comment on We always hear/read about Goverments cencoring the internet. What is something that the US is not knowing is being censored? 4 weeks ago:
You know what? I’m kind of OK with bringing anti-Catholic conspiracy theories back for a bit. Takes some heat off the Jews and Muslims, and the tradcath movement produced such wonderful people as Brett Kavanaugh. Plus, they never really answered for the whole systemic child molestation thing.

If Japan is going to catch strays, invading people is a pretty good reason.

But hey, at least it gives you a new hat.
- Comment on Would one run faster without arms? 5 weeks ago:
You do have more momentum to counteract the drag, though. I wonder if the decreased mass would be offset by the decreased surface area.
