Possibly, I’m waiting until a motive is confirmed.

Everybody described him as being withdrawn, it seems like nobody but his roommates knew anything about him, but those roommates haven’t talked as much. It’s like none of the people that were physically around him were part of his world, and they describe him as being online a lot.
I think he was more shaped by the internet than the people physically around him. Especially since he was described as being apolitical until after he left his parents’ home.

No, but I also hear that there are a lot of leftists with right wing parents, especially in Utah. Maybe that was why he moved out, I don’t know.
Maybe he was more right wing instead. I don’t know. I’m not the person who was saying he was leftist. I was just pointing out that he wasn’t a registered Republican.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 16 hours ago:
Not on its own, but he’s not exactly a registered Republican either. Just wanted to correct that one thing.

Yes, and the voter registration is for a Tyler Robinson, not a Tyler James Robinson.
The Snopes fact check has a screenshot of the registration of Tyler James Robinson.

By the way, why do you think mRNA vaccines are genetic therapy?
- Comment on Or in 2025. Looking at you, Florida. 1 week ago:
RNA vaccines may be relatively new, but they aren’t genetic therapy. It does not get integrated into your DNA.

I do agree with that, I suppose we probably disagree with the speed reforms can take then.

What would you say are limiting factors on our ability to build then, if you think reducing immigration won’t significantly reduce housing construction?
Why do you say immigration a lever to pull but not the factors limiting construction?
- Comment on In Australia, racist violence is nothing new. But emboldened neo-Nazis form a frightening new spectre 1 week ago:
You seem to be under the impression that we will just magically build and build if people are gone, but that’s not realistic. My point was that reducing immigration would significantly cut the number of houses built under the current housing market. We may be building too few homes now, but I doubt much at all will be built after cutting immigration either.
The problem is not that we have a housing market that’s too big, it’s that we have a broken market. Housing entering the market in this country may be insufficient when demand is high, but it’s straight up not entering the market where demand is low, and housing prices are higher than ever everywhere. We need to figure out why the market is broken and fix that if we even want so see housing prices stabilise for an extended period, let alone fall. Reducing immigration is a distraction at best.

Some people I know who supported the protests do so because they’re upset at the upcoming spare bedroom tax, which aims to bring more homes on the market to lower prices. They don’t care about housing people, they care about profit.
I’m also not convinced cutting immigration would help at all when it would only discourage construction, which is already below what’s needed to support birthrate + people moving in from rural areas. Immigration isn’t the cause of the crisis, so cutting it isn’t the solution.

As much as it’s dumb, many other places (such as Australia, where I live) are similar at this point.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 months ago:
If you want something not Google, I used to have Ubuntu Touch on a Fairphone before Australia’s 3G network was switched off. It would have to be an older Fairphone however.
- Comment on Australian high-speed rail has barely left the station – some experts say a new US project shows a better way 3 months ago:
I find it interesting how often articles come out about how good projects like Brightline West are before they’re built. There’s still plenty of time for more delays, budget overruns and further compromises. The original Brightline in Florida was meant to be the first high speed rail in the US, but after enough delays and increasing budgets they compromised on its speed. The Brightline model is better than nothing, but I’d hardly call better than nothing a model for us to emulate.
Some problems are legitimate, but honestly even if the Australian government cancelled the project and restarted following many of these recommendations, it would be even further away from completion, as we would have to wait years again for new plans to be drafted, and it still won’t be built immediately. In my mind, it is better to commit to a slightly flawed plan than to constantly restart because we think of a better way, as we have been doing for years, decades.
The reason we’re looking at Sydney to Newcastle is that people complained Sydney to Canberra was too expensive/difficult when that was last proposed, and that Sydney to Newcastle is easier and shorter. Grass is always greener on the other side.

I keep hearing that Cities Skylines II has constant bugfixes because each fix reveals new bugs. It’s better, but still divisive. More people continue playing the original, according to Steam’s statistics.

Mammals are just jealous of the long enlightened reign of the dinosaurs, and want to paint the previous dynasty in a bad light to justify usurping the throne.
- Comment on Audiologists raise concern over headphone use in young people 6 months ago:
I’m wondering if the cause and effect are the other way around, people that have trouble with noise (such as people with APD) might want noise cancelling headphones. The rise in cases of APD might indicate otherwise, but with the information provided, it sounds like it might be under-diagnosed anyway.
The first thing many people used to assume is that if you had any problems with listening, you might be somewhat deaf. APD and other difficulties listening definitely aren’t deafness, but I wonder if there is increased awareness of other reasons why someone might have difficulty understanding speech.
