If I was a child of god, I’d probably take that money, and buy a baby to rape.
but seeing as I’m not a child of god, That I’m just a bog standard decent, normal person, I’d probably turn it in… and perhaps be elated if I get the call that no one claimed it after 30 days, so I can have it…Would do wonders towards bills.
- Comment on The Republican Party used to be very big on smaller government. What caused them to turn into the party of big government over reach? When did it happen? 1 week ago:
They were never for small government.
Their idea of small government is a government that only has republicans in it.
- Comment on If the US Military can offer free money for college education..and is part of the government then why does the average Joe have to pay back a small student loan? 1 week ago:
Yes.
But don’t worry, the socialism you get in the military is really bad.

Which is probably one of the many reasons why its been a good while since his last cooking challenge video.
he still does cooking videos, just not like " feed 2 people 3 meals for 1 dollar" videos.
- Comment on Need to lose 15lbs in less than a week? I got you. 1 week ago:
I’ve seen videos of people like Atomic Shrimp post videos of 1 dollar a day meal challenges and stuff, and I was always absolutely gobsmacked by how cheap vegetables, flour, etc were in the UK, even when the price is converted to USD.
They’re paying pennies everywhere I pay dollars.
- Comment on If the US Military can offer free money for college education..and is part of the government then why does the average Joe have to pay back a small student loan? 1 week ago:
because america needs fodder for the grinder. and its not filthy woke liberal socialism when its going to military, its god given patriotism /s

i think ever since covid ivermectin has become a magical cureall for idiots, and the more the betterer as far as the dosage goes.
- Comment on What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)? 2 weeks ago:
It only gets better, and don’t hesitate to make any decision, its a choose your own adventure, and nothing you do can ruin your current playthrough (but does open doors for different choices in your next playthrough :D )

No one?

He never directly harmed children as far as we know
I absolutely loathe the entire apologist view of “They never directly harmed a child, they just had 45tb of pictures of children being harmed”
Buying/trading CSAM material IS directly harming children, because your activities are actively creating and furthering a demand for children to be molested and raped, Which very much means your hand is actively causing the harm, whether its directly against the child, or every other activity that creates the market that encourages molestation and rape. everyone participating in it is actively and directly harming children.
- Comment on Being poor is expensive 2 weeks ago:
Its ultimately the lack of economic flexibility.
When us poors run into trouble, we have to deal with it immediately, without a chance to plan for it or save up for it or make other arrangements, so we have to buy the cheap boots, because we don’t have the financial buffer to absorb the impact of the 50 dollar boots on our budgets, even knowing it will save us money in the long run.

until they start having drone malfunctions that result in concussions, sliced throats, and decapitation.
- Comment on The land before time 3 weeks ago:
Yep. There were many wrongful death lawsuits as well, i think which resulted in millions of dollars of payouts to families, and all the coverage really hit domino’s reputation to the point they finally dropped the half hour guarantee in the mid 90s because of the financial blows from reputation loss and settlements.
Though I wouldnt be surprised if they try to bring it back via drone deliveries.
- Comment on The land before time 3 weeks ago:
and the reason they stopped delivering within 30 minutes was cause it led to reckless driving and many, many, many traffic accidents and losses of life.
- Comment on Killing ownership is the method, killing the secondary market is the objective. 3 weeks ago:
Thats bullshit.
Gamestop killed physical stores. They bought out who they could, and did everything they could to crush the rest and push them out of business, until nothing but gamestop was left. and gamestop is an awful fucking company.
So, of course, perpetually online idiots decided to worship it and turn it into a meme stock that brought in unfathomable amounts of undeserved money.
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 4 weeks ago:
Yes, thats my point.
You have maybe a year, if you’re lucky, on a flash drive… and very few’d probably make it that far, and the ones that did would be egregiously expensive.
on optical media you have time that can be measured in decades, possibly even a century if proper storage practices are used.
That is a significant difference in stability
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 4 weeks ago:
you used to get all kinds of really cool and amazing shit when you bought games, maps, manuals, pewter figures, and more.
- Comment on GOG seemingly shares that they are considering physical PC 'big box' games. Maybe? 4 weeks ago:
You do realize that flash drives are not near stable enough for long term storage, much less archival storage, right?
- Comment on US Energy Secretary Chris Wright: “I'm thrilled to report that after 35 years, on July 4th, we will end the subsidies for wind and solar projects” 4 weeks ago:
Yep. Wind and Solar will generate power for the next 30-50 years.
a lump of coal will generate power for…what? 15 seconds?
- Comment on End of an era? 4 weeks ago:
No, this is just playstation continuing to hate their customer base.
They’ve always hated their customers. Between Sony, and Nintendo, I dont know who hates their customers the most… but they both certainly try.
and it doesnt matter, because they both have enough fanboys that strip off their clothes and gleefully dance naked and joyous in the rain of shit both companies sputter out of their assholes and down onto their customers.
- Comment on Newsflash pal 4 weeks ago:
Exactly the same thing.

And fiber really needs to be recognized as the essential nutrient that it is.

Every time you cook in a cast iron skillet.
- Comment on "influencers" are setting us back 4 weeks ago:
No, don’t just blindly believe professionals either.
Cause some of them a assholes who try to sow discord for their own personal profit.
Like Andrew Wakefield, who started the whole “Vaccines cause autism!” fraud, because he wanted to sell his own brand of vaccine and thought undermining faith in existing medicine would be a great marketing ploy.
and theres been tons of famous, formerly reputable doctors since, that have put down their ethics and picked up the snake oil since then. Like Mehmet Oz.

Now I heard about Alex Trebek. That one made me sad.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
free advertising that they’ve been paid to make, cause that second hand game wouldnt exist if they hadnt already gotten their pay from someone buying it.
Used games are basically the companies getting paid, to advertise their games to others, who then… as long as they are a half decent company, would more than likely pick up more customers in the future than they would have had otherwise.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
True, but, and I dont want to be in this position, but its a little bit different having their game on their service, and epic going out and paying other companies to drop their games off steam before release so they can have timed artificially exclusivity on epic.
Those are two entirely different piles of bullshit.
- Comment on 5 weeks ago:
Hence GTA Online, where whales can keep spending hundreds of dollars for shark cards because they cant hope to play the game enough to stay infront of FOMO with all the new cars and other shit they constantly release.
- Comment on GTA 6 Price Finally Confirmed, Features a 'Single-Player Experience' at Launch 5 weeks ago:
Yep.
Preorder the most expensive version, then cry about the state of gaming that they helped create.
We already went through this with videocards, where idiots paid scalpers ridiculously insane amounts of money for scalped cards cause they could not go without new shiny for 5 minutes… And anyone with a brain said its going to hurt gaming and video cards in the long run, because its showing amd and nvidia that people are willing to spend 2000 for a 500 dollar card.
and wouldnt you know it, card prices magically skyrocketed as soon as stock stabilized, and suddenly now the prices are unfair and insane.

i doubt very seriously someones gonna pay 100 dollars for a 128gb ssd thats read only, to try to make it usable, when they can go on amazon and get one for 20 bucks
