Thank God the progress understander has logged on to explain why it was good, actually, that the Democrats banned gay marriage
You clearly need to work on your reading comprehension if that’s what you think I was saying.
No, it was fucking horrible that Democrats banned gay marriage. It was fucking horrible that our society was okay with that. The entire point I’m making is that thirty years later we are living in a completely different WORLD on that front.

Microsoft saw people paying for PS+ anyway and copied Sony’s homework. Game Pass is shit too, now.

- Comment on Are Vorons still the best DIY printers in 2026? 6 days ago:
I would argue that Vorons are more capable than say a Baubu, but I digress.
Depends on the Bambu and what capability you’re after, doesn’t it?
I know Bambu is evil, but I have to admit the H2C with its nozzle-changer is sexy. Give it a couple of AMSs and you get 7 materials with no purging. That’s a capability I don’t think a Voron has (though please, correct me if I’m wrong).

And you can only believe that if you ignore every bit of progress that has stuck around in the last thirty years.
Progress isn’t a straight line up. Like anything else it dips and wobbles. But it consistently moves upward.
Yeah there are always going to be things to make progress on. But to pretend that we are not in a better place on some of those issues now than we were thirty years ago is bafflingly silly.
As an example: In 1996, support for same-sex marriage was so low that congress passed and Clinton signed the Defense of Marriage Act, allowing states to ignore same-sex marriage licenses from other states in direct violation of the full faith and credit clause of the Constitution, and this was widely supported by the American people. In 2023, over 70% of Americans supported gay marriage while only 22% opposed. That number has dipped since, but not by much. In 2025, it was 68% support (88% of Democrats, 76% of Independents, and 41% of Republicans) while 29% opposed it.
That is an issue on which the American people have made significant progress. That progress hasn’t evaporated with alternating administrations. It ebbs and flows like literally everything, but over time it has improved.
Most are like this. Not all! Certainly some things consistently get worse, like wealth inequality. But to act like everything simply flip-flops between parties and that the Democrats are simply a ratchet that maintains the status quo and doesn’t let anything change just to let the next Republican make it worse is flat-out wrong.
Are Democrats largely spineless corporate shills? Yeah. But are they just as bad as Republicans? Fuck no. Go vote in primaries. Support candidates who will actually push for change. Giving up is pathetic.

- Comment on Sony-led program offers PS5 rentals starting at $13.50 a month in the UK across 12, 24, or 36-month leases — console has to be returned at the end of the contract 1 week ago:
It wasn’t a bad deal for me. I was going to be paying for Game Pass anyway, and this was when the consoles weren’t always staying on shelves. Managed to snag one of the lease-to-own versions or whatever and never regretted it.

Game company: “People are pirating our game! We can’t have that!”
Rational Person: “Look, there are a lot of reasons people pirate stuff, and some of it we can address, like pricing and delivery. But some of it is just going to be people who wouldn’t ever pay for it anyway. Just make a good product and let the people who pay for it have a good experience and they’ll tell their friends who might also pay for it.”
Game company: “Screw that. Let’s punish the people who buy our game instead.”
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 1 week ago:
Right, I don’t think it’s a very likely feature I would just like it.
(Or I wish I could figure out why the exact same streaming content requires a different volume level depending on which device is playing it on a modern receiver with like, Dolby Atmos support and shit.
- Comment on TV remotes should have an easy-to-find by touch "volume" toggle button that toggles between two volume settings. 1 week ago:
I want two very distinct volume settings. If I watch media through my Xbox (or play games through it) I need the volume around 20-ish on my receiver. But if I’m using the Apple TV, or back when I used the TV itself to watch stuff, the receiver needs to be around 30-ish. Can’t remember which category the Switch and PlayStation fall into, but I know it’s one of the two.
(This might be something I can fix on the receiver, now that I think about it.)

As someone who came to PC gaming from decades as a console gamer it blows my mind how cheap PC gaming is once you get over the initial cost of the PC.
