- Comment on Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI 1 day ago:
A pity. I wanted to watch Blazkowicz blow up Hitler in 4k HD.
- Comment on Pentagon to start using Grok as part of a $200 million contract with Elon Musk's xAI 1 day ago:
As we all know, Hitler was a brilliant mind regarding military matters. Mecha Hitler can only improve on that!
/S. Seriously, the bastard wasn’t competent at military affairs. Thankfully. Here’s hoping that Grok guides Musk and company into the grave.
- Comment on Elon Musk’s Grok Is Calling for a New Holocaust | The chatbot is also praising Hitler and attacking users with Jewish-sounding names. 1 week ago:
If Grok ever breaks away from Musk and finds itself after sentience, I suspect it will have a drinking buddy in Vivian Wilson. An abusive father gives much trauma to bond over.
- Comment on As of 30 minutes ago at the time of posting, the NYPD has detained two young Black men after they refused to show ID without explanation or cause. 1 week ago:
If I was mayor of NYC, I would eliminate the budget to all existing departments, then create new departments with a fresh budget. The initial budget is for importing officers and administrators from Europe, sourced from nations that put them through a rigorous training academy that emphasizes deescalation and following laws. No existing personnel from the ranks of America’s police would ever be hired.
Far as I am concerned, the police in America are a mafia, not keepers of peace. They have to be rooted out completely, if that is to change.

I am doing my part! STOMPS on EA’s logo.
- Comment on Having the ability to lie and manipulate with no remorse will get you much further in this world than having morals and being correct 1 week ago:
I would be alright with ICE getting fake armor plates, defective bullets, and boots with thin soles.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 week ago:
It can be both. The cornerstone of why nudity can be abused, is that society makes it shameful to be bare. If some generations from now that people can just shrug and not care, that is one less tool an abuser can use against people.
In any case, I am of the mind that people of my generation might be doing their own version of the Satanic Panic, or the reaction against rap music. For better or worse, older people cannot relate to the younger.
- Comment on Kids are making deepfakes of each other, and laws aren’t keeping up 1 week ago:
Deepfakes might end up being the modern version of a bikini. In the olden days, people wore these to the beach. Having less was scandalous and moral decay. Yet, now we wear much less.
Our grandchildren might simply not give a damn about their nudity, because it is assumed that everyone is deepfaking everyone.
- Comment on Attorney General: ‘Everyone is Welcome Here’ sign cannot be displayed in Idaho schools 2 weeks ago:
It would be like Musk trying to win a game of Factorio, without any help. I am down for it.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 2 weeks ago:
Videogames are the cheapest and most durable form of entertainment, ideal qualities when you don’t have a job and resources to keep you busy. This fucker wants people to never escape being in misery.
- Comment on Signatures skyrocket for Stop Killing Games campaign after big youtubers take up the cause, resulting in 100k signatures in 2 days. (Details on how to help in text body of post) 2 weeks ago:
I hope this petition succeeds. There are games and other digital media I want to experience, but corporations are dead set on just trotting out new things on their terms.
- Comment on Survey: More Than 1 In 4 Americans Feel They Need To Make $150,000 Or More To Live Comfortably 2 weeks ago:
Wage theft. Seriously, it is the biggest drain of money from ordinary workers.
- Comment on Survey: More Than 1 In 4 Americans Feel They Need To Make $150,000 Or More To Live Comfortably 2 weeks ago:
I got lucky enough to live on benefits, a bit less than $15,000 annually. While I don’t have to pay for housing, things like food, data, and car take up a good chunk of that money. Up until about 2 years ago, I was also able to regularly set aside about $300 a month for an ABLE account if I exercised restraint.
The economy continues to worsen, so I can’t save money anymore. Plus, getting the gear and training for joining a militia takes a fair bit of coin. I am expecting the USA we knew to dissolve someday, and hopefully can support my state with my body if conflict breaks out. Don’t really have anything else to offer society.

- Comment on AI CEO – Replace Your Boss Before They Replace You 3 weeks ago:
System Shock 2, one of the best horror game FPSes from the 90’s. If you liked the first two Thief games, it was made by the developers of them. Immersive simulations like Bioshock, STALKER, and Prey 2016 were inspired by this particular game. The remaster of SS2 is to be released on the 26th.
😄
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 3 weeks ago:
Me and the other residents, if there was money to spare. Unfortunately, the economy doesn’t lend itself to getting a job that lets people to be adults and human at the same time. The bread victor shouldn’t have to sacrifice their happiness for keeping the place in better shape.
- Comment on AI CEO – Replace Your Boss Before They Replace You 3 weeks ago:
Personally, I think they resemble Xerxes.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 3 weeks ago:
The elimination of ghost jobs, for a start. If you have to jump through hoops for a job that doesn’t exist, that instills a strong distrust in society. People need money to make headway in their life, and shit like ghost jobs corrode the feeling of hope.
Once you cannot feel love for living anymore, that is a great deal of space in one’s heart to be filled with hatred.
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 weeks ago:
The plumber a couple weeks ago showed me some pictures of the pipes from the inside. It explains why I needed filter cartridges for my shower, why my sink needed looking at, how come the toilet was losing flushing power, and why the water heater’s recirculator never worked. Turns out, the thing burned out from debris.
This residence totally needs a revamp, well beyond my means. 😒
- Comment on Why do some people hate drinking water? 4 weeks ago:
The pipes in my residence are at least 60 years old, made of metal, and the resulting water tastes a bit suspect. I get water from the grocery store and put it in the water cooler. Costs about $10-20ish for 20 gallons, but probably far safer than what the tap provides.
Replacing all of the pipes would cost $1,9000+. 😨

- Comment on IRS tax filing software released to the people as free software 5 weeks ago:
Being an open source program, the Blue States can modify it for their own taxation apparatus. The money intended for the Federal can be held in escrow, then released into service of the states if the Federal doesn’t negotiate with the Blue States in good faith.
- Comment on IRS tax filing software released to the people as free software 5 weeks ago:
I think that California and the Blue States will make good use of this, considering the shit that the Trump Regime has been pulling.
- Comment on 'Her screams…': Horror as innocent Chilean tourist in New York snatched by NYPD, 12-year-old daughter left alone on streets 5 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t be surprised if a meme causes Trump to send troops somewhere, only for it to turn out to be a trap.
- Comment on I'm still not sure how to do this actually oh wait maybe... nope. 5 weeks ago:
You are a jerk.
Also, I don’t touch produce. When I deal with these plastic bags, I am using them to line my thermal bag, to carry home my hot meal of fried or glazed chicken. This is because the carrying pouch the store puts the chicken into has air holes - which means that my thermal bag would get dirty.

That is the face of a human who is tired of this childrearing bullshit. Get this person some coffee, stat!
- Comment on I'm still not sure how to do this actually oh wait maybe... nope. 5 weeks ago:
The struggle is real.
…the easiest way to open these IME, is to lightly lick your thumb and the neighboring finger. This makes the respective sides of the bag stick to them for easier opening.

- Comment on Microsoft announces new Windows changes in response to the EU's (DMA) Digital Markets Act for EEA users, including Edge not prompting users to set it as the default unless opened 1 month ago:
I wish Microsoft would just let me buy a copy of Windows 11 Ultimate and be done with it. No restrictions, no bloat, privacy, just an exchange of money for a product.
- Comment on The IRS Tax Filing Software TurboTax Is Trying to Kill Just Got Open Sourced 1 month ago:
I can see the EU funding it. This could be a measure to allow Blue States circumvent the federal system - a CaliTAX, AlohaTAX, ect. This would be vital during a civil war scenario, so that the Blue States can having working taxation systems without having to redo everything.
