- Comment on College core: you sit in the class for attendance then go home and teach yourself 2 weeks ago:
#1 Spaced repetition, #2 quizzing, and #3 explaining it in plain common language without any technical words or phrases are 3 really good methods to learning something new. The lectures provide #1 if you study the material a few days before or after the lecture. Note taking can help focus on the material during the lecture to stay engaged and focused, and be useful when studying later to target what you have trouble with.

It’s for the pro capitalism form of Animal Farm where a small hierarchy of heroic pigs controlling the farm save it from the evil communist working animals wasting money they don’t have on frivolous things like food and healthcare using Seth Rogan’s laugh as an area denial weapon.
- Comment on Me after 3 shots of vodka 2 weeks ago:
There are many places where signals and speed limits are treated as light suggestions, the law only matters if it’s enforced and rules made in support of some safety or cooperation. Places where speeding is only enforced at more reckless ~15kph and over, or signal lights aren’t enforced if there’s no pedestrians or cross traffic. Maybe it’s degrees of domestication, or greater safety to break the rules if car jackings are common in an area

In my experience it was for old insecure guys who were uncomfortable going to a massage or doing any structured stretching regularly so they’d get an adjustment from a quack a few times a year instead.

- Comment on Why Everyone’s Picking Up a PSP Again in 2026 (my article!) 2 weeks ago:
PSP was great, some stand out games were crush (2/3d puzzle), jrpgs like the final fantasy tactics remake and Joan of arc, rhythm games like loco roco and patapon, and easy to install custom firmware to play emulated games PSP or some others like Gameboy or snes.

- Comment on The difference is real 2 weeks ago:
As one of probably 12 people who actually read the Mueller report it was a list of crimes the president and conspirators committed, and very clearly left it up to the branch of government required to impeach and remove the president, legislative via Congress. That part was the job of Congress, not the judicial branch. But obviously then the US Congress abdicated their responsibilities to uphold the constitution in both the facts of the report and both impeachments, ignoring the facts of reality and their legal obligations under the constitution. Because people like Mitch McConnell whipped politicians to kill any action the executive lied that the report contained no crimes and corrupt mass media propaganda sold the lie to the public as usual.

Does it need to be a full-size bat, or can it be one of those mini replica bats? I bet you could fit at least twice as many of those bats.
- Comment on Why don't my shit and urine stink while they're inside me? 2 weeks ago:
Not smelling like excrement would have been a significant advantage for most of human history where we had predators hunting us and conflicts with other humans where hiding would have been a good defense tactic. Animals that do have strong scent usual are a deterrent for predators or territorial predators marking their territory.

- Comment on It turns out that Juggalo makeup blocks facial recognition technology 3 weeks ago:
I grew up around quite a few as they are pretty common in the Middle West especially middle and low income areas. Aggressively inclusive is a pretty good description of the subculture’s values. There’s some bullshit like anti science and anti education, but it comes from the elitism and exclusivity of those institutions which is a problem in public outreach and inclusiveness in academia. Most of the juggalos I’ve met just want to do drugs, listen to horrorcore rap, and watch wrestling, but I’ve also met some that can’t stand any of those things but just celebrate the stuff they do like instead of degenerating other people and their aesthetics.

Uwe Boll made millions, it’s not a difficult job to do the bare minimum at if you have a gimmick or draw for people to watch movies that aren’t known for good production, stories, etc and can secure funding from producers.

Copyrights over 5-10 years or not held by the creator are stealing from the commons/public domain and there is no moral obligation to follow those laws, and some would say a moral responsibility to share pirated copies of those works to everyone, not just corpo slop machines.

Fear and rage force you to use unreliable heuristics instead of critical thinking and analysis resulting in poorer choices, it’s why so much propaganda relies on triggering those emotional states.

An economy built entirely on buying really expensive hammers says hammers are inevitable and going to be necessary for everything they’re terrible for from wiping your b hole to making important decisions. It’s anti economian to not want to use hammers every waking minute of your life. Oh god why aren’t people buying these hammers.

- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 4 weeks ago:
I have no idea, it might be worth checking with a couple attorneys who specialize in healthcare to see if you have a case worth pursuing as many will at least do a quick consult to see if you have a case without charging. The legal system is setup for wealthy people and organizations though so I wouldn’t expect much without something like practicing completely outside of their area or pretending to be from another state or something more than a lapsed certification or making judgements from a kinda similar but not really the same specialty.
- Comment on Can some please explain to me why it is that your health insurance can deny you medication, even if your doctor says you need it? 5 weeks ago:
The insurance company is going to have a doctor who said you don’t need it. They will try to hide who that doctor is, specifically what their NPI is, which can be used to personally identify the doctor who made the medical judgement against your doctor’s without having to provide further explanation than they’ve already given. Depending where you are they may have to provide more information when directly asked for specific evidences, or will suddenly change their rejection on the claim with a letter from an attorney asking for specific details in writing. They know hiring an attorney is expensive and bank on people not advocating for their rights & people with severe medical issues not being able to afford to.
a list of things to request from your insurer that may cause them to charge their determination
And lastly a video of a surgeon being denied the NPI of the insurance’s doctors who are likely breaking the law hiding behind the idea that insurance doctors are so hated they need to hide their identity even from other doctors to prevent reprisal. She was blacklisted from United claims for this video and others like it.
