Or like the death ray!

- Comment on He's taking some deep drags on that Marlboro as he considers what to do 1 day ago:
Jesus didn’t flood the earth right? That was God. His dad who is also him but not but yes. I dunno, I don’t get it.
- Comment on That's different 2 days ago:
I don’t listen to any conservative news but I’m assuming they’re skewering Zelensky?
- Comment on They seem to turn a blind eye to many things as long as you have a (R) next to your name and promise to hurt the right people. Must have missed that bible verse 1 week ago:
They called Michelle Obama a man. I don’t know why that pisses me off. Like, there’s nothing wrong with being a transgender man or anything. But like, she’s not. She’s a proud and beautiful woman. The fact that their own base doesn’t turn their backs on them for that tells me enough about them.
- Comment on Why Are People Surprised When Trump Actually Follows Through? 1 week ago:
It absolutely can happen anywhere and that’s the “The Wave” movie was about.
- Comment on AI Killed The Tech Interview. Now What? 1 week ago:
Oh really? That’s new (to me) I didn’t know that! Cheers!
- Comment on AI Killed The Tech Interview. Now What? 1 week ago:
I think it’s cronyism more but it could be nepotism too.
- Comment on Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke 2 weeks ago:
Here’s Louis CK’s joke on it: youtu.be/r6x3e8MurQY?t=72
Yes, I know he’s cancelled and all that but I don’t know I still love his comedy. Like … I cut out a lot of comics like Joe Rogan (just kidding, he’s barely a comedian) so I dunno I just remembered this joke.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 2 weeks ago:
Remember the:
Personal computers were “bicycles for the mind.”
I guess with AI and social media it’s more like melting your mind or something. I can’t find another analogy. Like a baseball bat to your leg for the mind doesn’t roll off the tongue.
I know Primeagen has turned off copilot because he said the “copilot pause” daunting and affects how he codes.
- Comment on Technocracy is here 3 weeks ago:
Tech bros never wanted to make the world a better place. They’re the 10% and they want to be the 0.1%. Where THEY get to be the boot on our necks.
- Comment on Tech Execs Plead for Great Firewall of America to Protect Them Against Scary Chinese AI 4 weeks ago:
The citizens need them against the companies for AI really but it’s always “get used to it” and it’s all capitalism and stuff.
- Comment on What are patient gamers thinking about Marvel Rivals ? Looking for a game to replace League of Legends 1 month ago:
Yeah I think I can invite people if you want to send me your steam handle.
- Comment on What are patient gamers thinking about Marvel Rivals ? Looking for a game to replace League of Legends 1 month ago:
I’m playing it, I really enjoy it and I never played Overwatch. I was and am still a Heroes of the Storm player, which is fun and I like.
I think at the end of the day it’s just fun. 6v6 and you get to mess with your ults. There’s characters that you don’t need good aim for and need to be strategic instead. You can also go ham like Wolverine, Iron Fist and Cap. It’s just fun to dive in and go for it. There’s only three classes: tank, DPs and healer or Vanguard, Strategist and Support. You’ll pick it up quickly and the help menu is just F1 so you can read about the abilities at any point.
If you prefer a third person game that’s more MOBA, there’s Deadlock. It has multiple lanes and minions to push. Marvel Rivals is more like ARAM and people using their ults to do insane cheating-like moves.
- Comment on Billionaire Larry Ellison says a vast AI-fueled surveillance system can ensure 'citizens will be on their best behavior' 1 month ago:
Can we apply it to tax cheats first?

You get to punch someone if you make someone look at a circle you made. Here’s a Malcolm in the Middle demonstration: youtu.be/fbKu_diqAto

It’s a great listen and conservatives as usual can’t stop being fucking retards.
- Comment on McDonald’s posts biggest decline in global sales in four years 4 months ago:
It’s only “fast” now. If you need to get something quick, it’ll do, but you’re paying far more than you should for the quality you’re getting.
The hubris of these guys to raise prices as high as they did and to keep it there is for the type of food they produce is silly.
- Comment on Stress 4 months ago:
For those like me that had never seen this before: vogue.com/…/paris-hilton-debunks-stop-being-poor-…
This apparently never happened.
- Comment on Microsoft CEO earns $30.6 million more despite laying off over 2,000 employees in 2024 — salary package represents a 63% raise from the previous year 4 months ago:
When CEOs say they feel it when they need to do layoffs, I think they mean in their wallets.
- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 4 months ago:
I also like the absurd amount of permissions it required. Meta couldn’t let their guard down for a moment.
- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 4 months ago:
I deleted Twitter as soon as Space Karen took over.
However, my friends and so many people I follow on other platforms still link their Twitter profiles.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 5 months ago:
I just got my pro fold, I haven’t used it that much as a tablet to be honest. It is nice to do when I need it.
Did you get the Google insurance thing that’s quite pricey with it? I have a few days to get it.

A Shell of their former selves.
- Comment on God of War Ragnarök released and Steam Deck Verified, needs a launch option for Desktop Linux 5 months ago:
I think they could be referring to requiring a Sony PS account to play this game much like HellDivers 2.
- Comment on Windows Media Player and Silverlight are losing legacy DRM services on Windows 7 and 8 5 months ago:
I convinced my parent company like 10 years ago to stop the push to Silverlight. We were a .NET shop so it made certain sense and we were basically writing apps, but I had to tell them that MS was killing it and it was better to stick to web apps.
- Comment on US can’t ban TikTok for security reasons while ignoring Temu, other apps, TikTok argues 5 months ago:
Oh I use the website on my phone. Keeps asking me to spin Some stupid wheel though.
- Comment on Apple told to pay back €13bn in tax by EU 5 months ago:
But like, what financial benefits do they get from this? Like the country itself. I’m really bad in this area. Like, do they buy property or set up a thin business? Does that pull in enough?
- Comment on Thank you! 5 months ago:
I thought they were making a joke, in that latte means milk and that it’s “cafe latte” in Italy or something.

Drown the swamp …?
