- Comment on Happy Day to all who celebrate 2 days ago:
I’m out of the loop. Context please?
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 3 days ago:
The best part about this is it’s an ad for Pluribus, where without spoiling anything, a message like that would absolutely work in the show.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned 3 days ago:
They’re gonna use AI to detect the use of AI.
- Comment on If we ever find a planet with life in it, we could never set foot on it, because the interaction of the two biologies can have unpredictable consequences 4 days ago:
We won’t even be able to reach it until we can figure out FTL travel or technology that can support multi-generational passengers to get there.
- Comment on Thank me later... 1 week ago:
Heroin? I’ve read about people describing it as even better than an orgasm.
- Comment on Always sounds like fun but after 10 minutes you are ready to leave 1 week ago:
Not until I’ve had food. THEN it’s time to leave.
- Comment on Maybe "CAESAR STABBED IN BACK BY BRUTUS AND CASSIUS" was just a metaphorical clickbait headline, and the actual event was a minor policy dispute instead of a literal assassination. 1 week ago:
“CAESAR SLAMMED BY SENATE OPPOSITION”
- Comment on Mullvad Leta shutting down 1 week ago:
No way! Is that why it’s been timing out a lot lately? Oh man, I like Leta. I’ve been using it for several months now. Sigh, I guess it’s back to startpage (and ddg).
- Comment on You just had to ask that question 1 week ago:
Oohh we have a guy similar to this at work. When you ask him to document what he wants to do so it can be officially approved, he would rather spend several days arguing back and forth on email with essays (multiple paragraphs) explaining why it shouldn’t be his responsibility to document it, instead of spending 10 mins to type in several sentences in the documentation.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO says the company doesn't have enough electricity to install all the AI GPUs in its inventory - 'you may actually have a bunch of chips sitting in inventory that I can’t plug in' 2 weeks ago:
These guys are openly admitting that all these investments are going into hot air. Altman has also already admitted we’re in a bubble. But it doesn’t matter because the line goes up anyway.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is the best rated 18+ anime you've seen? 2 weeks ago:
Of the ones I’ve seen, probably Berserk. And that’s without an actual anime adaptation that gives it proper justice.
- Comment on [Discussion] The 20 Scariest Horror Anime of All Time 2 weeks ago:
Glad to see Mononoke on the list. It should have equal mention as Ayakashi where it was a spin-off of.
- Comment on U.S. agencies back banning TP-Link WiFi routers, citing national security risk and ties to China. They have between 30 and 50% market share in the US. 2 weeks ago:
You’re probably underestimating the amount of people that don’t bother going into the Settings menu of the devices they own. It’s “most” rather than “some”. The percentage of the population that knows technology beyond the surface level of using it is tiny.
- Comment on In your culture do you call it a teapot or a kettle? 2 weeks ago:
Cockpot.
- Comment on The Chainsaw Man Reze Arc movie's theme songs are being released as a limited-edition vinyl 2 weeks ago:
Jane Doe is amazing!
- Comment on Chainsaw Man Movie Dominates Opening Night Box Office in Major Anime Win For Sony 2 weeks ago:
Saw it in IMAX last night. It was great! Better than Infinity Castle, because it actually felt like a movie instead of a couple of episodes mashed together. Much better paced.
And no lengthy backstories! When the Angel Devil had a quick flashback, I was about to groan about having to interrupt an action scene with a backstory, but I’m glad they didn’t. In fact, having Makima and Kishibe just say a couple of lines about Angel’s and Reze’s histories was enough to give you their backgrounds, instead of doing a 30-minute flashback.
The music was amazing. The action scenes were not hard to follow even with so much happening.
My only minor gripe(?) is the change of art style. I get that the director wanted it to be faithful to the manga, and it should be, but I’ve grown to like the grounded and realistic animation of S1. Not a dealbreaker though. Also, why bother censoring when it’s an R-18 rated movie already? It just makes it look weird. Either show it or don’t at all.
- Comment on Why would a company force you to use a rental car instead of your own for a drive to the office/Christmas party? 2 weeks ago:
This is the correct answer. I once found training that was a 3 hour drive away. The company was still penny pinching so I offered to drive myself so only the hotel needs to be covered. They denied my request because of the liability problem. They HAD to be the one to shoulder travel.
- Comment on ‘There isn’t really another choice:’ Signal chief explains why the encrypted messenger relies on AWS 2 weeks ago:
Yes, but you can have redundancy though. Obviously it comes with a cost, and I don’t know if Signal can afford it.
- Comment on When HR has to even ruin the company Halloween Party 3 weeks ago:
The dedication to bring an entire wheelbarrow to the office is commendable though.
- Comment on One Punch Man S3 Director Shinpei Nagai deletes his twitter account due to the pressure, calls out people who took his tweets out of context/exploited the staff's struggles for "rage-baiting" 3 weeks ago:
I haven’t seen it yet because I have yet to watch S2, but people calling it One png Man or One Slide Man gave me a chuckle. Shouldn’t be harassing anyone fot it though.
- Comment on Amazon to replace 600,000 US workers by 2033 with robots 3 weeks ago:
It’s insane to me that you also get charged for pulling your data out. And it’s not cheap.
- Comment on What was I thinking? 3 weeks ago:
Same with putting air in the tires, especially with the change of seasons.
- Comment on How, and why, are there so many AI-generated videos of incredibly obscure/niche topics? 3 weeks ago:
Just guessing, but maybe content creators that focus on those niche topics are generating those for their videos?
- Comment on And I'm not sorry. 3 weeks ago:
Also wasted a lot of time, fuel, and manpower having an entire boat and crew looking for a jewel she had on her the entire time.
- Comment on What's the deal with breakfast in bed? 4 weeks ago:
I’ve read that it helps protect your teeth from all the acidic food you’re gonna eat for breakfast, not necessarily for “hygiene” purposes.
- Comment on I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles 4 weeks ago:
Yeah but the statement wasn’t saying anything about where their income comes from, just that bringing your own snacks to the movies is like bringing food to a restaurant. Cinemas deliver movies as their primary product if we’re looking at it from the customer’s perspective. So following the logic, bringing your own food to a restaurant would equate to going to the cinema to watch a movie on your phone.
- Comment on I'm not paying $8 for a pack of Skittles 4 weeks ago:
Putting aside the real reason is they don’t earn much from the movies themselves and profit more from concessions, his logic doesn’t even make sense lmao.
- Comment on Has anyone noticed these new spam techniques used by music channels on youtube? 4 weeks ago:
Using their own music, as in songs? Just guessing, but they’re probably using the videos to get people to click, and they earn money from their music being streamed.

Just wait for it to turn up in some billionaire’s wall.
