  Fuck this administration and everyone who supports it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Umm, I’m in my 40s and I do… 😬

  Granted it isn’t like Cheers, I just need the change of scenery since I work from home 10-20 hours a day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Arby's steak bites⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  I tried them the other day. They were fine, but I wouldn’t order them again. They were seasoned well, but the flavor profile is not my style. Almost too smokey and woody.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m just surprised it hasn’t popped up in torrent or usenet form as far as I can tell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Hackers Dox Hundreds of DHS, ICE, FBI, and DOJ Officials⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve searched far and wide and cannot find a place to actually acquire this data.

  I’m beginning to think it doesn’t actually exist. Prove me wrong, for a friend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US regional bank stocks fall amid Wall Street concern over credit markets⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think they meant once a quarter

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See ya.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Hmm, interesting. To be fair, I haven’t read it since HS and that was…decades ago. Based on what you said I might reread and reassess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨See ya.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Can I ask why? It was actually one of my favorites in school, so just curious for a differing opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No one can find him': Trump drops from public view again after 'slurring' military speech⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I hesitated to use that word, lol. But if it were JDV to take up the scepter, I think at least some significant chunk of people would falter and lose step.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think The Boys is an accurate representation if real people had superpowers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If people had superpowers, vats of trauma and ego issues, and megacorps wanted to wrangle it for profit and control… absolutely yes.

  This would totally happen in the US and other countries. 100%. No doubt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'No one can find him': Trump drops from public view again after 'slurring' military speech⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Possibly the only thing I can maybe hope for is that the next person to take the throne cannot command the same MAGA charisma (whatever the fuck that is) to unite MAGAts the same way and it furthers in-party fractioning and infighting.

  That or so many people with their snowflake egos will want to use it as an opportunity to move up that they’ll destroy each other.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For me the beauty of some games is the knowledge of the writers involved in a story or the composers for the music.

  If I know upfront it’s all AI generated I think that’d ruin it for me. But I realize that’s just my opinion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨EA CEO says company values will 'remain unchanged' under the new ownership of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner's investment firm⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  lol values

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As someone who uses AI regularly for software engineering and ~2/3 of the time find it effective…

  …there is no way it can produce quality games or gaming experiences.

  I look forward to watching EA collapse. Get rekt.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you are in the US, and a karen threatens to call ICE on you, what's the best course of action?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kill them and hide the body.

  Or call ICE on them. The last person I saw laughing about ICE activity is literally an overstayed-visa immigrant from Australia.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨US Republicans warn Australia of ‘punitive measures’ over recognition of Palestinian state⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey, don’t insult trash like that. US Republicans are far, far, far, far worse than that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JD Vance backs mass ‘doxing’ campaign to find and harass Charlie Kirk critics⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This won’t end well for him.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨"Every Nazi who remains alive will kill women, children and old folks. Dead Nazis are harmless. therefore, if I kill a Nazi, I am saving lives." - 
Lyudmila Pavlichenko.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Kill one Nazi and people lose their minds…kill tens of thousands of Nazis and it becomes a statistic? 🤷‍♂️

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White mold fungi split their genome across several nuclei, with implications for future gene editing⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Gattaca.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Software Engineers Paid To Fix Vibe Coded Messes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is the only thing that gives me solace for future gigs.

  But it absolutely decimates junior devs and that really sucks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨A month remains.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I could get an RDP solution as seamless and performant as Windows RDP + a window manager that can be controlled without a mouse a la Power toys - I’d probably switch full-time and stop dual booting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Remember beans?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Furbean

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are losing jobs due to social media posts about Charlie Kirk⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well seeing as everyone at some of my jobs are openly calling Charlie a shithead, I’m not too worried

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are losing jobs due to social media posts about Charlie Kirk⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Incarcerate them for cheap labor

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh l I was thinking it’s because people pronounce it Connedicut

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The problem with this is that it will be used to increase violence against non-white cis males.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Postal traffic to U.S. fell 80% after Trump administration stopped exemption on low-value parcels⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  They want to pilfer the USPS coffers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deportation? There's an app for that.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ooo, good idea.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Hm I’m not sure I’d say it’s perfect? I thought 70-80 was?

  My cardiologist said it isn’t really “danger zone”, but if it were like 100+ it might be concerning.

  I have had all the scans done, including a close look at my hearteries, and everything came back (surprisingly) clean.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨WiFi signals can measure heart rate—no wearables needed⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m f’d my resting BPM is like 90.
