So the American public has the right to know about the president’s every sexual experience?
Frankly, I don’t want to know. Especially with a pervy pedophile like Trump.
- Comment on Age check 1 hour ago:
Why should he be punished? Nothing either one of them did was illegal. It was consensual private behavior that none of us should ever have heard about.

Some interesting suggestions! I’ll get to exploring! Thanks brother!
- Comment on Metal genres 4 days ago:
I’m not really into metal, but I dabble a bit because I like great guitar playing in any genre, but I appreciate your stance. I’m like you, but with other genres like Classical, Jazz, Blues, World Music, and Classic Rock. There are a lot of gatekeepers in those genres, and I like to guide noobs past them, and into new music they can love.

That would be hilarious.

Or killed the right people.

MAGA is going Socialist! Maybe there is a silver lining here.
They should go after Starlink and Space X next. After all, we paid for ALL of it, it really belongs to us.
He can keep Tesla. It will be bankrupt in 2 years anyway.

Of course. He has no use for normal business practices. If it can’t be gamed, it’s no fun.

We’ll have another option soon.

I love Hitchcock, but The Birds is his worst movie.

WW what? Which WW? I HAVE to know!
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 6 days ago:
But can they only access each other in their own “web?” Can they access the World-Wide Web on their private web? Or does that just expose them to all the other stuff anyway?
- Comment on If what they taught us about checks and balances was a lie maybe what they taught us about civil disobedience was a lie too. 6 days ago:
I remember learning about people like MLK with respect and admiration for his methods, but also being taught to not use our first Amendment Rights to stir up trouble. It was definitely a conflicting message, and probably the reason everybody today recognizes that we have an extremely serious problem, but nobody wants to start the trouble that will finally deal with it.
We won’t have to, though. They want trouble, and they will have their trouble, even if they have to instigate it.
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 6 days ago:
Rather than encourage people to leave, we should encourage more enlightened people to move there, and change the political climate. A lot of states are closer to flipping than people think, and Texas is one of them.

I don’t know literally ANYTHING, so take that into account when answering this, but why can’t a single person access the “Internet” on their own, without an ISP. Can’t they be their own ISP? Or can’t small groups of people - friends, family, co-conspirators - create their own private ISP?
- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 6 days ago:
Eventually it will be about restricting what we can access on the web.
- Comment on Been there 6 days ago:
I once quit a job after 2 hours of my first day because my roommate called and told me that the job I really wanted called to tell me I got it. So I said Adios, and left.

- Comment on No weirdo's please 1 week ago:
It would be great if the current GOAT bagpiper (I mean, I don’t know who he is, but there must be one) dressed in a pink wetsuit, and posted a performance on YouTube, without saying a word. People be scratchin’ their heads…
- Comment on No weirdo's please 1 week ago:
Finding someone that can play the bagpipes is going to be the hard part.
- Comment on No weirdo's please 1 week ago:
Well, apparently someone did, and he picked one up for just such an occasion.

Imagine being a fish who gets caught by a human, and gets yanked out of his dimension and into an entirely different dimension, almost an opposite world.
Then the alien tanks the hook out of his lip, and throws him into the air…and he lands back in his own dimension, gasping for air.
Or, perhaps the alien takes him away…
- Comment on This was a real thing and it "makes smoking easy" 1 week ago:
I never smoked because it was just too much effort. This would have made all the difference, if I’d known about it. Alas, all those wasted years without the pleasures of a good smoke.
- Comment on Do people still wear these caps in the water? 1 week ago:
I still see one now and then. It might look odd to someone younger, but I saw them so often as a kid, that it barely even registers when I see one.
- Comment on 80s Nostalgia AI Slop Is Boomerfying the Masses for a Past That Never Existed 1 week ago:
People tend to filter out the bad memories, like the fact that crackheads were breaking into cars constantly, making it nearly impossible to have a decent car stereo. They started making them that you could pull out, and take into the house. It was common to see cars parked on the street with a sign that said “No Valuables in car.”
The crime rates in America in the 80s were through the roof. It wasn’t until the earl/mid 90s that they dropped.
