- Comment on Crews Walk Out on Nashville Tunnel, Claiming Boring Company Failed to Pay Workers and Snubbed OSHA Concerns 1 week ago:
This is how jerks like Trump and Musk operate. They hire locals to do the work, knowing that they hold all the leverage. Then they withhold payment, usually asserting that something was wrong with the work. Then they litigate. Litigation is costly, and it’s easy to spend millions of dollars fighting legal battles, so the little guy is bullied into settling for a fraction of what was owed, because a full-on legal battle would likely wipe him out.

Yes, he’s definitely taking a rip.
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 1 week ago:
There is no need to upgrade devices every two years ago, which used to be the norm. A decade or more ago, each new generation of phone was a huge leap forward. Today, not so much. Maybe a marginally better camera or a touch more battery life, but nothing earth shattering, and the camera and battery life on my “ancient” Pixel 6 Pro are more than adequate for my needs. I’ll probably upgrade in the next year or so, to a used Pixel 9, because the price of them used has plummeted since the release of the Pixel 10, and the Pixel 6 is nearing the end of its support by GrapheneOS.

It worked for me. I rarely touch alcohol these days, as it is so debilitating. A THC gummy or two puts me in a social mood for the whole evening.
- Comment on Wendy’s to close hundreds of restaurants as struggling customers cut back on dining out 3 weeks ago:
No, not at all. I can make all sorts of good, healthy, inexpensive meals for less than the cost of fast food. While it is true that grocery prices have risen quite a bit in the last year, it’s still way cheaper than eating out, and much better for you.

- Comment on The Value of NVIDIA Now Exceeds an Unprecedented 16% of U.S. GDP 4 weeks ago:
Concentration in fewer and fewer stocks is what happens towards the end of a bull market, and we’re currently in a bull market that has been running wild for years. My personal opinion is that we’re going to get parabolic price increases with a blow-off top, with the following collapse coinciding with the collapse of the U.S. dollar and destruction of the U.S. as the dominant economic force in the world. The stage has been set with a shrinking economy resulting from a massive ill-conceived trade war and indiscriminate deportation of our low-cost labor force, along with gross fiscal irresponsibility from unnecessary tax cuts and excessive spending giving rise to unsustainable budget deficits. The final nail in the coffin will be the debasement of the dollar by a corrupted Federal Reserve that has lost its independence from the Executive branch. There is a reason that gold, a hard asset viewed as a safety net, is in it’s biggest bull run in history, and that bull has a lot further to run. Things will likely come to a head in the 4th quarter of 2026, or not too long thereafter, and we will then slide into that I’m calling “The Greatest Depression”. May you live in interesting times!

- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Ragland is a soybean farmer in Kentucky and he has been hit hard financially this year, mainly due to China being the biggest buyer of soybeans. Tariffs have halted the market.
He explained:
- It’s tough when you lose 25% of your market suddenly. And that’s the reality of the trade board and the retaliatory tariffs that have came from China against our soybeans. Soybeans are America’s largest agriculture export. We do a great job producing them and the world uses a lot of soy. China is the largest user. They use 61% of all soy consumed around the world. And here in this marketing year, the soybeans are being harvested. We have not sold a single bean to China, and normally they would be purchasing robustly right now, right in the middle of our harvest season.*
Ah, another farmer reaping what he has sown. Face, meet leopard.

A beard is like makeup for men. If done correctly, your short, neatly trimmed beard can highlight and strengthen your jawline and provide a contrast to emphasize hollow cheeks/cheek bones.

The world is not well-equipped for dealing with people like this. He’s clearly a cluster B personality type, and desperate for attention. Good attention, bad attention, it doesn’t matter. This is reactive abuse, as he’s trying to provoke her to get a reaction. It may sound lame, but the best way to deal with this type of person is to completely ignore them. He is a child begging for attention. Don’t give it to him. Whatever he does should be viewed as trivial and be ignored. As he continues his concerted efforts and gets absolutely no reward for it, it will make him feel insignificant and look for his thrill elsewhere.

- Comment on Can mental health medication change nature of dreams? 1 month ago:
Absolutely yes, meds can impact dreaming and the nature of dreams. I don’t know what meds you are on, but prazosin is a blood pressure drug that is given of label to help people with PTSD. It increases REM sleep, which is when your mind works through issues you’re dealing with, and prazosin basically helps people work through their trauma. In my experience, my REM sleep approximately doubled, and my dreams took on a much more positive spin. Instead of being powerless in my dreams, I became much more of an active participant, “hitting back” when appropriate. It’s a great drug!
- Comment on Deloitte will refund Australian government for AI hallucination-filled report 1 month ago:
It’s ridiculous. The fact that a significant part of the report was clearly fraudulent calls into question the merit of the entire report. How could anyone take it seriously after finding dozens of fraudulent sources? They should sue to recover 100% of what was paid.

- Comment on Samsung Embeds Israeli Surveillance App on Phones Across MENA 2 months ago:
yes, and you have to get one that is from google and isn’t from a carrier so you can unlock the bootloader. Carrier versions have locked bootloaders.

Yet another reason why running GrapheneOS is a great idea. The surveillance state is now.

- Comment on What age gap is too big of an age gap if someone's in their early 30's? 3 months ago:
If they are looking to date younger, I’d say that 25 would probably be the realistic minimum, as that is the age by which the brain is fully developed. If a thirty year old is looking to date older, I don’t really see any real limit. Their brain is fully developed, and they’ve been an adult long enough that they can evaluate the pros and cons of the older person.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 3 months ago:
Well then, you’re already all set. Google edition phones all have unlocked bootloaders. I’m currently running a Pixel 6 Pro with GrapheneOS. It’s super easy to install and use, even if you’ve never messed with your phone before. I’ve been looking to potentially upgrade to a newer phone, because mine is a few generations old and Graphene doesn’t support phones forever, though they do for quite a while. An unlocked Pixel 9 Pro is around $550-650 right now, but I’ll probably wait another 6 months, as the prices will probably fall another $100-$200 in that time frame.
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 3 months ago:
Now that the Pixel 10 is out, the Pixel 9 prices are falling. If you’re going to load GrapheneOS, you need to make sure you get a phone that has an unlocked bootloader, which is different than being carrier unlocked. Any phone that was initially sold through a carrier like Verizon or ATT will have a locked bootloader, as the carriers don’t like people messing with the phone software to unlock features that they may charge for (e.g. hotspot).
- Comment on Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year 3 months ago:
Sure glad I de-googled with GrapheneOS that ironically runs on Pixel phones.
