- Comment on No looky for you! 1 day ago:
A grammar Nazi takes time out of their day to give someone crap about a comma splice or argue about whether or not it’s appropriate to capitalize the first word after a colon. OPs like this are not “Grammar Nazi” fodder, it’s just language anarchy normalized by terminally online brainrot.
- Comment on what language would be best for me to learn? 6 days ago:
The language of wherever you want to spend substantial time. Probably not Russian I would think, but you do you

There’s some kind of newfangled joke meta here, that I guess I’m too old to understand.

FuckThank you, Genie - Comment on Is Duolingo the face of an AI jobs crisis? 3 weeks ago:
Seems like a misnomer to call it an “AI jobs crisis.” LLMs just made it much more visible that CEOs and shareholders are greedy, shortsighted, and don’t know how anything works. Duolingo was already mediocre. Now it’s going to be completely useless.

I’ve heard good things about Pimsleur
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 4 weeks ago:
Look. He had the stupid tariff idea. He liked it because he likes the thought of getting his way by punishing people who defy him. That’s how he sees tariffs. It wasn’t a good idea. People told him that. So, being a stubborn narcissist, he wanted to do it more. Now here we are.
- Comment on Consumers make their voices heard as Microsoft's huge venture flatlines in popularity 4 weeks ago:
I’ve agreed with that for years. But I think there’s going to be a last straw soon. Microsoft is practically abandoning support for most of its products in favor of milking a relatively small number of mega corps for all the license fees it can get away with. If anyone ever takes privacy seriously again, Recall could force an exodus from which Microsoft might not recover.

You’re thinking of Recall
- Comment on Intel CEO announces layoffs, restructuring, $1.5 billion in cost reductions, expanded return to office mandate 4 weeks ago:
I almost feel bad for Intel. They gave us perfectly fine CPUs that lasted for years without needing upgrading, and nowhere to go from there in a world that demands infinite exponential growth.
- Comment on What are the best options for computers that explicitly support linux operating systems? 1 month ago:
Linux has traditionally been a “hands-on” OS. So there’s not a big market for hardware that ships with Linux pre-loaded and everything “just works.” People who seek out Linux are generally tinkerers. But obviously there is a big market for computers that just work out of the box. Honestly, I’d say this is the biggest thing holding back mass adoption of Linux: no over the counter Linux boxes to just buy and run with.
- Comment on Panic! on the trade floor 1 month ago:
The 2038 problem is going to be +3C global warming, ensuing wet bulb temperatures and mass starvation due to breadbasket failures. (debbie downer sound)
- Comment on Big Marijuana don't want you to know... 1 month ago:
What kind of weed helps concentration? The kind I’ve had makes me lose interest in my own sentences halfway through.
- Comment on Why aren't there mass protests in the USA? 2 months ago:
Don’t they understand what’s happening?
No. Overwhelmingly, no, they don’t. The MAGA crowd is stuck to their pants with glee, the liberal crowd is going “oh well, we’ll get em in the midterms,” and about another third of the country is just brain-dead clueless about all of it. Maybe a few thousand people in the US actually understand just how close we are to cascading systemic collapse.
