- Comment on On The Death of Daydreaming - by Christine Rosen 6 days ago:
He’s discussing his book because it’s directly related to the topic being discussed. He doesn’t need to plug his book here, it’s spent much of the last year and a half on the NYT bestseller list
- Comment on Genshin Impact Will Soon Require Age Verification in the United States 1 week ago:
I might be wrong about this, but isn’t age verification only required by a handful of states? Why are they applying it to the whole country?
- Comment on Liquid Trees 1 week ago:
I think it’s because they mentioned trees improve air quality right there in their comment, and then you responded like you didn’t read it
- Comment on Everyone uses 4d chess as the example of more intense gambits when 3d chess should suffice because chess is a 2d game 1 week ago:
We can traverse space because it’s space. Everything in the universe can traverse space. Similarly, the entire universe experiences time in only one direction. Time and space are the same thing. The movie Arrival is fiction and has nothing to do with the physics here

Humans perceive time…

- Comment on Starbucks' new drive-thru in Texas is the coffee giant's first 3D printed store in the US 2 weeks ago:
The more complex the design, the more expensive it’s going to be, even with this construction method. Starbucks is looking to do this as cheaply as possible.

Try including the rest of the sentence in your quote
- Comment on In the United States; is it illegal to use a single serve wrapped slice of Kraft cheese as a postcard? 2 weeks ago:
You’re absolutely right about this. It’s super easy to take a block of high-quality cheddar cheese and melt it with some sodium citrate to make the creamiest cheese dip you’ve ever eaten. And you can make your own sodium citrate with just lemon juice and baking soda

It’s certainly perishable, doesn’t have to be food

This would be prohibited by the USPS:

- Comment on Google wants to make its 2M-mile fiber network fully autonomous by year’s end 4 weeks ago:
What exactly makes me a “sucker” in this situation?
- Comment on Google wants to make its 2M-mile fiber network fully autonomous by year’s end 4 weeks ago:
I’m on cheap Google Fiber. It’s been $70/mo since we first got it about 6-7 years ago. Before that, AT&T and Time Warner had a duopoly in my area, and getting to tell them to go fuck themselves was the sweetest day of my life. They are awful businesses who treat their staff and customers like shit while delivering inferior service. I’ve rarely had a problem with Google Fiber, and if there’s downtime, they give you a prorated discount. Customer service is really easy to access, also, vs waiting on hold on in person in line with the other ISPs.

WTF dude, check the dates
- Comment on Media discovers a unique Russian culture of impunity 4 weeks ago:
I totally get having beef with a specific article, but the Guardian is more than one article my dude.
The language being used to describe Palestinians is genocidal
The Guardian view on Gazan genocide charges: Israel finds itself with a plausible case to answer
- Comment on Media discovers a unique Russian culture of impunity 4 weeks ago:
The Guardian’s always been pretty on point. As far as awful media sources go, I don’t know why you’d select one that’s relatively decent

You just repeated the same two reasons they gave like they were different.
- Comment on Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terrible 5 weeks ago:
I believe Obama didn’t have the confidence to disrupt the military industrial complex as it was operating post-GWB. I also think he feared the political repercussions of seeming “weak” on defense, which I think he misperceived. This was perhaps the most serious flaw in his presidency, which was otherwise great in regards to domestic policy
- Comment on Obama wasn't a hero; he just wasn't terrible 5 weeks ago:
There were some things he did I disagreed with, and a lot he did I agreed with. I’d take another Obama presidency any day given where we currently find ourselves

And here I thought he was about to sign an executive order that it’s spelled “Dow Joans” from now on and Pam Bondi was going to prosecute anyone who disagreed
- Comment on Despite constitutional limit, Trump says he's seeking a way to serve 3rd presidential term 1 month ago:
Stop listening to his words and report what’s actually happening, news media
- Comment on Shower drains and storm drains are the same thing in theory but not practice 1 month ago:
Storm drains usually lead straight to creeks, rivers, or other bodies of water, whereas your sewage goes to a water treatment facility first. Totally separate systems (in most places)
