- Comment on If trump is really implicated in Epsteins pedo-ring what is your theory as to why this wasn't leaked by an opposition leader? 8 hours ago:
Bullshit.
Hilary Clinton divorced Bill
*Hillary. And that never happened.
Your whole “both parties equally complicit” is such a load of horseshit, too. Russian asset much..?

The advantage with filtering keywords, Snot, is that you don’t have to waste any time at all curating communities.

My lady, I’m afraid you’ve got more problems than even YOU suppose. Whew, laddie!

In which case, I hope for your sake that you don’t have or take care of a pet dog. You know, so as to avoid their butt-Olympics and pure love of… excrement.
- Comment on Even if you're living in a hot country, cold showers are disagreeable. 1 week ago:
I guess I’m one of those weirdos in a cold climate who likes finishing off my hot showers with cold water for a couple more minutes. I find it super-refreshing, and can almost relate to the ‘polar bear’ crowd, who seemingly like to finish their saunas off by jumping in to icy water.
I said “almost,” right?
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 1 week ago:
No one is even hinting at changing that for the future.
That’s not really true, though. AOC, Sanders and others have been ceaselessly vocal about these matters, directly influencing change. And unless there’s systemic, nationwide fraud at the voting booths in November (I mean, much more than the usual), then the so-called “GOP” currently in charge is going to be in deep trouble from that point on. At least going by precedent and current rules, which of course might be somehow subverted by the Orangies, such as a declaration of martial law, etc.
No one in a nation of pussies will stop him.
The people manning the actual equipment are still military lifers, far as I know. From what I understand, it’s those types of folks who’ve historically prevented global nuclear war every time there was a chance of it happening.
- Comment on We used to have TV repairmen who would come if dad couldn't fix it with the tube from the grocery store kiosk. Weird. 1 week ago:
I remember those, but for tape deck heads, not TV’s.
Anyway, Scirocco came with the very likely correct analysis, if you can see the other comments in this chain.

Ah shoot, I’d completely forgotten about vacuum tubes. Everything fell in to place with that reminder, but it was fun reading what you had to say about these things. Thanks for that nice writeup!

On 24 August 2024, Durov was arrested by French police on criminal charges relating to an alleged lack of content moderation on Telegram and refusal to work with police, which allegedly allowed the spread of criminal activities. –WP
Did they maybe have a point with that one?
…letting war criminals fly unimpeded through their air space.
I mean, the heads of state of the three most powerful nations in the world (plus various others) arguably hold that status, and collectively they must have flown over dozens of different nations. France may not exactly be heroic in that regard, but it’s a crowded field, far as I can tell.

I’m both bemused and curious what in the world that might mean.
- Comment on Is ice heavier than water? 1 week ago:
Well, that’s the answer in terms of comparative density, but in terms of comparative weight, I’m wondering if the ice would indeed be heavier since it commonly traps additional gases in the freezing process.
So yeah, I’m not entirely sure if OP was talking more about weight or density.

- Comment on Cannot get genesis cart to work 1 week ago:
One thing you can try is DeoxIT.
Just adding on that I’ve found white eraser to also be very effective on contacts, altho getting the right size for the cart can be somewhat of an issue, depending. But they’re cheap, last a long time, and are very gentle on contacts. You might think of it as a first or second-line cleaning tool, before breaking out the DeoxIT.

If you wrote dialogue that way it would just be harder for audiences to follow and waste precious screentime.

- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 2 weeks ago:
From what I understand, global nuclear war was an ongoing concern by the mid-50’s, when the nuclear arms race got in to full swing. Along the timeline of the ensuing Cold War, there have evidently been a shocking number of close calls, with global war being averted by a single individual in some cases.
Now one note of interest might be that the USSR’s cache of nuclear arms may not have been well-maintained over the years, so modern Russia might be sitting on a far more limited amount of live weapons than exists on paper. FWIW… which of course probably isn’t much, in the end.

- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 2 weeks ago:
Yes, there’s a point to what you’re saying, but to paint with the same broad brush upon them both is not only delusional at best, but in real-world terms, actually toxic in terms of influencing voting bases. Shame on you.
Just look at the public voting records of Congress going back ages, and see how Dems (warts and all) actually do the right thing most of the time. Decade after decade…
When people bang their drums upon ‘money playing a part of politics’ being outrageous, unexpected and ‘breaking the system,’ what they’re really saying is that they fundamentally don’t understand capitalism… the very system they grew up in.
“Both sides being the same” is beyond an idiotic, false narrative, and any decent history or political scholar can tell you just that. It’s the message of dictators and oligarchs really, upon close examination.
- Comment on How does Chuck Schumer still have a job? 2 weeks ago:
They’re also owned by big money as much as the Republicans.
Idiotic takes like that are as much of the problem as anything else.
Holy hell, the number of know-nothings who upvoted that nonsense…

DisengageI’ll just tell you hwat, though– I’m open to talking to you in other circumstances, in which you’re not so incredibly hot & bothered as you seem to be upon AI. I mean, I’m sure you have interesting things to say upon lots of matters.
No offense intended, but you seem like a young man, spittin’ fire, which is… pretty much on point, right? And I don’t mean that as a put-down, mate… I mean, we’ve all kinda been there, yeah.

- Comment on What happened to lem.ee? 2 weeks ago:
That depends on the layout of duties for any particular site / instance.
When Sunaurus spoke of “vile content,” I got the sense that yes, he had to deal with too much of that horrible shit, plus much more.
- Comment on What happened to lem.ee? 2 weeks ago:
A well-constructed site also has a huge amount of work put in to its design and functionality. Its a job that requires a lot of discretion, compromise, and adapting to the best interests of the users… all things which aren’t necessarily obvious. So really, there’s at least three absolutely vital job areas:
- Backend and maintenance
- Ongoing site design
- Moderation and PR
It’s so, so easy to underestimate how much and varied the work is going to be when you’re high on enthusiasm.
