- Comment on in case you wanted a good news, Reddit stock is down 1.99% over the past 3 month 1 week ago:
Oh, it’s more than that. Reddit seems unusually bouncy.
- Comment on in case you wanted a good news, Reddit stock is down 1.99% over the past 3 month 1 week ago:
There’s a ton of that going on now. 20.1 mil $ value was 591,000 shares or so.
All the C-suite officers are selling when the market pops and buying back when it dips. Yesterday the share values jumped over 20 bucks.
There is definitely some gaming of the stock going on.

3D Alligator pectorals! Yikes… Yup. AI.
- Comment on Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy 2 weeks ago:
More to the point that news item came from CNBC, itself a company that is 100% advertiser-supported.
Of course they’re going to claim that people not buying is the doom of the economy.
Their whole existence is tied to hyperconsumption, which, is becoming evident to even the marginally aware of being no longer viable in the long run.
Say after me: “Too bad, so sad…”
- Comment on Ever see something and think maybe you didn't die soon enough 2 weeks ago:
This is disturbing in that it’s either a really bad effort with Photoshop, or AI.
Regardless of which one… Just… ermm.
- Comment on Cloned Gmail with Epstein's emails 2 weeks ago:
Yeah… responsibility, and a crushing need to make rent money for December…
- Comment on Cloned Gmail with Epstein's emails 2 weeks ago:
Oh hell, and here I have to work tonight… :(
- Comment on Gmail can read your emails and attachments to train its AI, unless you opt out 2 weeks ago:
Yup. Kinda why I’ve been using my gmail account as image storage for the last 19 years, and nothing else, since I made it.
That was stated from the get-go, that Google reserved the right to scan for potential ad-words in order to advertise a product you might have written about in a correspondence.

Awwww. So sweet!
- Comment on My landlord partnered with a financing company - I can pay $15/month for the luxury of making weekly payments on my rent 2 weeks ago:
That’s when you reply to the company and tell them that you find their policies rather predatory and not too dissimilar from low-class “payday loan” companies and that you want them to remove you from their mailing list and you will from now on mark any emails from them as spam, and sent straight to the trash.
CC it to the landlord as well.
He has the right to use their services, but you have the right not to do business with them. Your agreement is with the landlord NOT a third party that came in after the fact.
- Comment on Israeli society is truly gone so outrageously far right that translation from Hebrew is now disabled on X (#Twitter) as of Nov16 2 weeks ago:
I think that the folks in the town of Jaba might beg to disagree with you.
- Comment on Screw it, I’m installing Linux 2 weeks ago:
I have a PC that was originally built as a hackintosh, so if I just pull the main Windows drive and install a new SSD in it’s place, and boot to an installer USB, it should work, yeah?
Am ready to try Bazzite as I only game on the PC at this point and my OS (Win10 Pro) is constantly nagging me to update the hardware as my current kit it doesn’t have the TPM 2.0 that the newer OS needs…
- Comment on Is it normal to see this static when you close your eyes? 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, though mine doesn’t flicker as fast - it kinds moves in slow waves.
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 2 weeks ago:
Ehhhh… NMS ia a different animal.
Honestly, it’s got one of the coolest player communities - like NO one grouses at other people over game play, simply because it’s got such varied options. (I’ve been in creative mode for years just building bases and survival shelters with resources left available for others to use if they need help) There’s really no one that is streaming their games and getting into flame wars over this, that or the other…
I mean there’s griefers, but they do shit things like build on other people’s bases or make trap bases that kill players or break into the online space (the Anomaly) and kill newbies that have their game PVP settings on. (I had some jackass strafe at me as I was base building and as I was in creative, the shots did nothing, so I just let him figure it out and he eventually landed and checked my base out - dude must’ve been on Ultra Hard as a cloud of sentinel robots swarmed in with him and left as soon as he did… THAT was surreal as hell, as they’re super rare to see in Creative) but everyone agrees, the griefers are assholes and they get slapped down fast enough and the newbies will be sorted by other players and gifted resources they’d lost.
It’s a great game and a really chill community.
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 2 weeks ago:
Give it time. If there is as much a problem at Reddit as it seems, its only a matter of time before more and more folks make their way here.
One of my co-workers that plays No Man’s Sky was looking for help on the NMS sub and was shocked to find as many deleted posts as he did.
Something is DEFINITELY up there…
- Comment on Watch me go Reddit 2 weeks ago:
Shoulda suggested just keying the cars instead.
- Comment on And ironically the smaller they are the more vicious they are 2 weeks ago:
That is SO true.
The mother of my best friend in high school bred Chihuahuas… They had a bitch named Queenie and it was the nastiest little beast I ever met.
You could not lean down to pick an item off the floor as once you did and the dog was within eyesight, she’d leap at your face snapping and biting at it.
I saw her mom get her hand bitten hard by the animal. Ripped the hell out of her palm. After that, I didn’t go over to their house anymore.
I don’t know if the animal was inbred or what, but it definitely wasn’t right in the head. Foul little creature.
- Comment on How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering? 3 weeks ago:
Mom’s sorta right, but also not… If you blast the headphones, yeah, of course it’ll eventually screw your hearing. If you leave them at a level, where you’re able to hear the outside world around you, you’l be fine.
- Comment on Every playlist labeled 'random' is just a museum of moods you no longer know how to visit 3 weeks ago:
Hmmm. My playlists are random to the eras of my life… SomaFM, Hippy-dippy, (mom’s 60’s and 70’s rock collection) Teen angst (those are cassette rips), road trips, etc…
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 3 weeks ago:
Well, I mean the rest of the fridge is okay, no? More to the point, what would someone do if they didn’t have the internet and bought the fridge…
Just because something is “smart” is no reason to let it have access to the internet.
- Comment on Refrigerator ads are finally here! 3 weeks ago:
A piece of cardboard and some tape will take care of that.
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 3 weeks ago:
Hehehehe. A joint… yaah… the irony meter is off the chart, considering that the state says “don’t drink and drive” yet maintains several state liquor stores that can only be accessed off of the highways.
Oyyyyy…
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 3 weeks ago:
It is spendy here. We’ve been in the same apartment for decades. Place is funky, for sure, but it’s home and husband used to work for the landlords family when he was a kid, so we all know each other quite well. Heck the daughter that’s running the rentals now, used to sit on the tree branch that was right outside my living room window when she was 8 or 9 and we’d talk to each other.
We live on a second floor - She was a right little squirrel as a kid!
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 3 weeks ago:
Perhaps we should create a c/Seacoast community? I’ve been given the heave-ho from Reddit and it’s the local subs I miss the most.
I will look into instgating such a thing.
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 3 weeks ago:
Livin’ Free, in the states most expensive little city by the mouth of the port.
Kill me now.
- Comment on Thank you, Boston 3 weeks ago:
That fits. I live an hour north of Boston and that is one of the most Bostonian thing… esp. the walking away w/o saying a word. It’s just the Northeast flintiness most native New Englanders have.
- Comment on You have to be married to have a mother-in-law or father-in-law but you don't have to be married to have a brother-in-law or sister-in-law 4 weeks ago:
Thank you!
Oh, they are absolutely dedicated to each other, he adores my mom and she loves him fiercely but he is just not willing to consider a will and face his mortality. It’s common, honestly. I am going to be doing a full court press on the matter this coming year. Mom is in her 80’s and is in good health, they both are - but still.
- Comment on You have to be married to have a mother-in-law or father-in-law but you don't have to be married to have a brother-in-law or sister-in-law 4 weeks ago:
My mom is in a similar boat.
She’s been in Hawaii for decades, living with a guy and they’re not married and she’s not on the will for the property that he owns - even though she’s paid the taxes for it on and off over the years…
I have asked her why he can’t set that up to take care of her if anything happens to him and it’s just that he’s lazy and thinks - like a lot of people do - that he’s going to last forever.
I worry about it, and mention it often but the answer is always the same.
Am like WTF mom, he’s no spring chicken - neither are you - what ARE you two thinking?
- Comment on The Guy Claiming That You Have TDS 4 weeks ago:
WRt the menical, it’s more about getting the person t the point of introspection about their choices of who to belive and follow the politics of.
MOST MAGA folks are in need of a single-payer since they don’t have good enough paying jobs to purchase insurance policies through their work (if it’s offered) that have deductibles and co-pays they can afford. The truth of the matter is that the country has let insurers themselves dictate the conversations around access and affordability - as if! - they and they alone have the answers.
- Comment on Killing SNAP benefits now is demanding a Blue Congress next election. 4 weeks ago:
I think the play was 100% Mike Johnson going “Let’s not swear in the newest Democratic Representative from Arizona and prevent the Epstein Files from being released in full…” and him teling the Republican GOP congressmen to leave went further than he expected, and rolled into the ACA tax subsidy collapse and then the SNAP fiasco.
The congressmen are just as blind as the rest of conservative, middle-class America as to how large the demographc of white Americans on welfare really is.
