I’m not actually losing sleep over the penny lol

Hell yeah, when people offer me interest free loans I take it.
One time I misunderstood something as an interest free loans when it wasn’t so I paid it off entirely in the first bill. Sadly, I had to pay $0.01 in interest. How will I ever recover?

A trans woman interested only in men is heterosexual. A trans man interested only in women is heterosexual.

Why do you think I’m advocating for getting rid of CSS and not being silly?
- Comment on It's a tragedeigh 19 hours ago:
There are straight trans people in the LGBT community. It’s not as simple as “not straight”.

Separate you layout from content so hard that you have no opinions about the layout.
- Comment on The "We Tried" Award 1 day ago:
That’s what fucking pisses me off when people say this. I was born in 1991. As a child WE ALL KNEW PARTICIPATION TROPHIES WERE SILLY. Nobody was like “Oh fuck yeah, that’s right, I won!” We’d all joke about them being participation trophies. When showing my room I’d say “but these are just participation trophies.”

I know how to brat, don’t worry. I know how to get what I want.

No, definitely not.

Depends on how you’re defining proof reading I suppose, but I agree, I don’t necessarily think it would. But maybe seeing it a second time might jog a memory. Who knows.
- Comment on With all the animals that die in the sea, is it possible they get pickled in there? 2 days ago:
Isn’t that just what a fossil is? If you get a little creative about how you define pickling?
- Comment on Socialism is the actual teaching of Jesus 3 days ago:
No, because socialism is when bad thing! /s obviously
- Comment on HAAAAAAAANNNNKKKK 3 days ago:
If you have a 1% error rate in tweets, even if you proofread that’s still a .01% chance to make a mistake. With the volume of tweets it shouldn’t surprise you that some people make mistakes even if they proofread.
- Comment on I have searched far and wide 3 days ago:
I remember learning about it in school around Thanksgiving because it’s often associated with the holiday. (I’m in the US.)

Training an AI model on AI output? Isn’t that like the one big no-no?
- Comment on Zelda Tears of the Kingdom - it finally got me! 4 days ago:
So? It has way more content and features than BotW. Saying it’s BotW 1m5 frames it like DLC. It has entirely different mechanics though and you play it extremely differently.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 4 days ago:
I fly the original pride progress flag on my house and I really like it. If it is shocking to you that not everyone agrees with what makes a flag look good look no further than the US’s state flags. They’re a mess. They’re all over the place. People have different tastes. I think the “state seal on blue background” is bad but clearly enough people in those places don’t dislike it enough to change it.
- Comment on After Israel and USA's bombing, wouldn't any supposed nuclear bombs go off if there were any? 4 days ago:
Nuclear bombs are not like conventional bombs. It is very difficult to make them explode. They aren’t volatile. The way the ones dropped on Japan detonated was something like two halves of a core hit each other super super hard and were propelled by a bunch of shot gun shells. Compare that to things like black powder where it’s just fire.
I don’t think fires or bombs on nuclear sites are good, nor do I necessarily believe there were nuclear weapons, but I don’t think they’d detonate like what you’re thinking. Like how a fire at a fireworks factory causes a horrible chain reaction where everything blows up. Nothing like that.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 4 days ago:
Don’t think for a second that I’m approving of Andrew Tate types lol. I’m just saying if there wasn’t incentive then they wouldn’t be able to profit off of it. Maybe we’re using different definitions of incentive. Or maybe you mean to actually make a true working long term fix for men as opposed to just content that monetizes off of it.
- Comment on Why is the progress pride flag so poorly designed (especially the intersex progress pride flag)? Will it be redesigned? 4 days ago:
What annoys me about takes like this is that it seems to be appealing to some sort of council of gays who are in charge of the flags. Nobody is. There’s no “official” flag. If you don’t like the progress flag or the intersex version of it then just don’t fly them or design your own that you do like. Nobody is stopping you. A ton of the pride flags in use today are just designed by random Tumblr users in the mid '10s. Which is fine, not hating on them, just making sure you know there is nothing stopping you from making one you like or flying the ones you prefer.
- Comment on Why is the manosphere on the rise? UN Women sounds the alarm over online misogyny 5 days ago:
Is there even an incentive for solving men’s problems?
Uh, yes? Obviously. If there wasn’t then “manosphere” content would never be monetized.

Anytime people say things like high IQ my opinion drops.
- Comment on Apple to Australians: You’re Too Stupid to Choose Your Own Apps 1 week ago:
Is there a way to send and receive SMS and send/receive phone calls through a computer? Like if I wanted to ditch a phone for a cyber deck could I? And just use like a mobile hotspot for Internet?

Test comment, please ignore. Jerboa doesn’t recognize that and I’m curious if the punycode version would be.

- Comment on Google is intentionally throttling YouTube videos, slowing down users with ad blockers 1 week ago:
Yeah, I’d genuinely rather watch whatever amount of seconds forced ads are of black, silent screen than see an ad. It sucks and is awkward, but whatever.

SSL or the comment? The comment is annoying because people use TLS and SLL interchangeably in colloquial speak.
