Hello! My name is Cobalt Swiftpaw. I’m here for memes and art.

- Comment on You have hell yeah! friends 1 week ago:
Don’t be Reddit. It’s obviously a joke.
- Comment on Academic writing 1 month ago:
That also sounds odd to me. I’ve been consistently taught in school to avoid passive voice and it was a huge struggle for me for a long time (case in point). I’m attending a college in Canada for the record.
- Comment on Amazon CEO wants his staff back in the office full time • The Register 2 months ago:
I thought it was for real estate value
- Comment on i need an rv, and lab equipment, and a helper 2 months ago:
Hi.
- Comment on Big Penny! 2 months ago:
They actually raised it in recent history and people still get tin canned regularly.
- Comment on Big Penny! 2 months ago:
This is a defense that nobody needs or asked for. If you don’t understand the very, very simple concept of clearance you shouldn’t be driving a vehicle and especially not a truck.
- Comment on Misinformation: Russian money was funneled to U.S. right-wing creators through a pro-Trump media outlet, prosecutors say 2 months ago:
Just in case anyone was curious, the media group is Tenet Media, who is associated with Tim Pool and some other folks.

Nothing as long as it’s not out of a beaker :)
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Oh yeah, not the person you replied to directly, but it’s insanely obvious to me that this is YET ANOTHER PR stunt to make Elon look like he’s being targeted.
- Comment on Happy Weekend boiz 2 months ago:
Even if i was modeling I don’t think I could do this.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
The law doesn’t function the same everywhere. When you start/run an international business, it is necessary to understand this. When you don’t, things like this happen.
- Comment on Peeble streamer on Doop 3 months ago:
Not a millennial but I will always argue that the modern internet is inherently worse for people than the internet even of 15 years ago.
- Comment on Noise 3 months ago:
You also need to have a sampling rate that’s equal to 2x the highest frequency.
- Comment on Anon's coworker is a flat-earther 4 months ago:
Anon wouldn’t have gotten anywhere with that argument anyways. If your goal is to make them stop believing then you have to ask questions without seeming like you’re leading him to a certain conclusion in any way.
- Comment on Why does it feel like too much effort just to go from sitting around looking at garbage online to simply watching a film or playing a video game? 5 months ago:
Weed made all my days disappear. No matter how harmless it might seem I’m not recommending mind-altering drugs to anybody.
- Comment on Windows just changed the desktop wallpaper and re-added the search bar without my permission after an update 5 months ago:
They didn’t say they deployed it, also enterprise operating systems are generally expected to not suddenly change manually-set policies for users…
- Comment on Try it this summer 5 months ago:
I wonder if there might be some ulterior motive to this article? I’m sure WaPo being owned by Bezos has nothing to do with it though.
- Comment on Hey kid 6 months ago:
Anyways that’s why I’m a dog
- Comment on The way my daughter's middle school health class classifies drugs is insane. 6 months ago:
Not really true at all in Canada. Once again this is just the side effects of weed being illegal being mistaken for the fault of the substance when it’s not.
- Comment on Come on, science! 6 months ago:
Shitty Samsung Tab A8, it’s a random XDA developers AOSP ROM that I’ve removed Google garbage from. I don’t like the Samsung skin, it’s slow and has a ton of bloatware. Because I don’t need push notifs on it, there are no gapps replacements installed on it either. So I just use all F-Droid apps since I just browse the internet, read books, and read manga with it. Newpipe for YouTube.
- Comment on Come on, science! 6 months ago:
This has to do with all the services running in the background. Modern phones are actually extremely efficient, providing you’re not connected to push notification services and don’t have apps running in the background all the time.
Problem is that Google and Apple loooove user data and so it’s very hard to do this, impossible in the case of iOS. I have a fully google-less tablet and that things lasts many days on 1 charge.

I think it’s a stretch and I don’t appreciate being painted as a racist.
- Comment on bath time 6 months ago:
It was already deleted, you probably just have it cached. 1000005407
- Comment on bath time 6 months ago:
They just threw racist on there, it’s not referenced in the text whatsoever.
- Comment on bath time 6 months ago:
I’m inclined to believe that it’s not just “not respecting the proportions” but rather manufacturers putting a fake logo to create the appearance of safety.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
Because most people don’t engage with art critically. See Marvel movies. Maybe others are fine with remixed slop but I am not.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
I’m talking inside the context of capitalism. Yes it would be nice if we had a UBI to support people but we don’t. I agree that art is fundamentally human.
Outside of the context of capitalism I’m not sure AI art would be found very useful at all because its main point at the moment is remixing the same shit everyone’s seen before for profit. To make mass produced lowest-common-denominator slop.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
CONSOOM THE SLOP. I LOVE SLOP SO YOU MUST TOO
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
It’s so impossible in fact that the CIA spends millions destabilizing countries that are even threatening to become socialist.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 7 months ago:
Spoken like someone who doesn’t understand why people engage with art in the first place.
