- Comment on Everyone Cheering The Social Media Addiction Verdicts Against Meta Should Understand What They’re Actually Cheering For 2 weeks ago:
The author reads like he doesn’t understand context or the legal idea of a rationale actor. What users are going to purposefully upload boring content?
Here’s a thought experiment: imagine Instagram, but every single post is a video of paint drying. Same infinite scroll. Same autoplay. Same algorithmic recommendations. Same notification systems. Is anyone addicted? Is anyone harmed? Is anyone suing?
Of course not. Because infinite scroll is not inherently harmful. Autoplay is not inherently harmful. Algorithmic recommendations are not inherently harmful. These features only matter because of the content they deliver. The “addictive design” does nothing without the underlying user-generated content that makes people want to keep scrolling.
- Comment on Why do pot or other drug dealers "lace" their drugs knowing full well it will pretty much kill their customer base and rep? Is this not like a retail store telling customers everyday FUCK YOU and hope 2 weeks ago:
Almost every real world case of weed being laced was from an end user doing it on purpose or it was a simple contamination error.

Adrian Tchaikovsky has some sci-fi books that make use of this idea.

Patrick?
- Comment on Sitting in traffic 2 weeks ago:
What kind of dumb argument is that? If you worked from home you could still take a morning and afternoon bike ride. And you could actually go some place new or run an errand.
- Comment on Samsung's latest update is a serious gut punch to Galaxy power users 4 weeks ago:
Probably stock unless I find a reason to mess around.
- Comment on AI’s hidden bias: Chatbots can influence opinions without trying, study finds 4 weeks ago:
What I find fascinating is that most of our boomer parents warned us about bias and not trusting the internet for this exact reason. Like Wikipedia was an extremely controversial source for a while. Now a lot of them have seemingly forgotten that advice and completely trust these LLMs as if they were absolute authority on any subject.

What would you get for a new phone nowadays?

- Comment on 18-26 year olds, How do you plan to dodge the draft? 4 weeks ago:
They will waive that if they have to, plus RFK wants to get rid of those along with SSRIs.

Wouldn’t it realistically be some guy with a backhoe digging out a fresh grave? I would assume he would go to the graveyard site and just tell his manager that one of the graves was unmarked.
- Comment on FADED. 🥴 4 weeks ago:
Because it’s more proof Israel is infiltrating and extorting the US government.

She thinks Israel killed him.

No idea, they skeeve me out. Maybe they smell a bit like ground coffee.
- Comment on Team turns DNA into a rewritable hard drive 4 weeks ago:
That’s why you have millions of copies stored.
- Comment on spoopy figs 4 weeks ago:
Its specifically cockroaches they are talking about and ground coffee. If you grind your own beans and don’t see any cockroaches or bugs, then your coffee is roach free.
Humans get allergies to cockroaches really easy. Living in cockroach infested areas will eventually create allergies, people who handle cocraches get allergies, it’s not a question of if it’s a question of when.
So if you have developed cockroach allergies you risk going into anaphylactic shock if you go anywhere where ground coffee is in the air like a gas station or coffee shop. If you aren’t griding your own beans, there is some roach in your bean soup.

The funny part is that the people who can afford to by the products in the ads are the ones paying to not have ads.

Perfect time for some foreign company to eat Oracles lunch.

- Comment on Sad News! AI's RAM Hunger Finds a New Victim in the Orange Pi Neo Linux Handheld 5 weeks ago:
Yup. It’s not real. The vast majority of GPUs delivered in 2025 aren’t plugged in. They still have some 2024 GPUs sitting idle.
This is all a shell game of fraud.

It may be time for Trump to rethink tariffs
LOL. It’s his only trick

Just checked eBay. ~200-250 for used M1 Air 8gb RAM and ~300-350 for used M1 with 16gb RAM.
- Comment on Apple introduces Macbook Neo - cheaper Macbooks starting at $599 5 weeks ago:
If this is the regular price, schools can probably get them for $550 or less on a bulk contract. They seem to give 10% discount on any large school purchase.

Oh my bad
- Comment on Senators demand investigation after ninth American killed by Israeli settlers or soldiers in West Bank 5 weeks ago:
I somehow doubt that so few Americans have died. They attacked like umpteen bases and a few hotels that they evacuated to.
- Comment on Polymarket Takes Down Betting on Nuclear Detonation After Backlash 5 weeks ago:
It just adds another complexity to the bet that there has to be enough apathy of that happening to an Arab country.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
Idk. I have still had problems with white shirts going pink or baby blue. Everything else doesn’t matter.

Bring items to self checkout. Scans as fast as possible. Walks out with a 20% dynamic discount.
- 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:
Capitalism and actuarial science. Their models likely show that you are still young enough for them to keep you fat for a few years while the cost of GLP1s go down.
- Comment on A product of his environment 5 weeks ago:
Depends how much revenge you need. There is a sliding scale between pooping on his doormat to planting creeping bamboo to planting an IED.
