Users are getting dumber by the day. The people arguing back to me about “this is a you problem” when I mention reasons why device ownership is important is way too fucking high.
This is why you gatekeep hobbies. Keep the dipshits out so they don’t become the masses that ruin what you enjoy.

Nah, they just moved them between 9-5, so now your work day is twice as long as your personal time is twice as short.

Wow, a Zombo reference in 2025? Hell yeah!
- Comment on Modern Windows in a nutshell 5 weeks ago:
Windows is horrible at informing in general. The event viewer is a terrible mess to get through, too. I wish I could get paid as much as Microsoft to deliver products as bad as Microsoft.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 weeks ago:
The problem is the massive gap between the two. Once again, advocating murder and mass suicide because “we all die eventually”
I’d much sooner advocate just living as much of a full life as you can, and doing what can be done to fight back.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 weeks ago:
Well, creating posts and content that suggest both side is only going to throw more people into the uneducated/uninformed bucket.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 weeks ago:
Nah, it’s just a modicum of critical thinking. “Would I rather have things stay the same, or maybe get slightly worse; or have things rocket to the bottom as fast as possible?”
To say the Democratic party is just as bad as the Republican party is so incredibly stupid. Like, look at the track record of the two and tell me that the dems have caused as much damage as the Republicans, or that on a global scale right-wing politics has brought about more positivity than left-wing politics.
I don’t think Kamala would have made things better than they were, but I don’t think anybody would. But I so think she would have made things significantly better than they are right now under Trump… But all those people trying to say “tHeYrE bOtH the SaMe” got what they wanted, and hopefully they’re enjoying what they’re getting. I certainly don’t think they’re anywhere near the same.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 weeks ago:
Make it make sense… You are telling me that citizens would have the same quality of life right now and no more to fight for than they currently do under the current administration, had Harris have won? I find that incredibly difficult to believe.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 weeks ago:
This doesn’t answer my question.
Do you think change will be easier to make when a party is in power that is slowly chipping away at your freedoms, or when a party is in place that is going to go full-tilt authoritarian and do as much damage in as little time as possible?
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 5 weeks ago:
Times haven’t changed, and vertical videos are still a pointless waste of time and space.
Dancing I guess might make sense if the person is dancing in place, but realistically if it can be shot vertically you should ask “is this really even worth recoding?” Chances are the answer is “no”.
There is almost 0 need for vertical videos.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 5 weeks ago:
The real question should be: why are vehicle manufacturers inclusing features that they can’t afford to maintain after they have sold it to us? Maybe stop making everything internet-integrated. Nobody in their right mind should be forking over a subscription for something they just spent tens of thousands of dollars on.
- Comment on VW introduces monthly subscription to increase car power 1 month ago:
Kia has a subscription service for the ability to set remote start options. They can get fucked, too.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 month ago:
Sure, but we’re not going to pull off the bandaid by continually voting in the party that is going to fuck us over fsstest. Is it not easier to work with a slow decline than a turbocharged rocket into the ground?
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 month ago:
Wierd, I fing it equally comfortable to hold the phone in either orientation, but way easier to record when holding the phone horizontally since I can get more in the shot st once. As an added bonus, I can also enjoy it just as well (or more) on a regular screen. Again, vertical videos are a waste.
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 month ago:
Is it that people enjoy it, or is it that these shit platforms are shovelling it en masse so people are forced to adopt it? There is nearly 0 need for vertical videos
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 month ago:
No positive change is surely still significantly better than seeing a massive downturn and an uprising of a second Nazi regime… I don’t get your point.
We’re all gonna die eventually, so should we be advocating for more murderers?
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 month ago:
So by your logic, had Harris won the last election we would still be watching the fall of the USA and the rise of a second Nazi wave?
- Comment on When Americans Fly Economy, They're Actually Paying for Someone Else to Fly Private 1 month ago:
When I watch videos on my phone, I rotate my phone so the videos are oriented in the best way for videos to be oriented.
Not only are vertical videos trash, they often come packages with modified players that are equally trash. Thankfully (for now at least) you can fix YouTube by switching /shorts/ to /watch/ in the URL.

How does putting slow-moving bikes into traffic somehow fix congestion? Some dipshits are under the same impression in Canada, too… Like, have they all forgotten how much a single cyclist can fuck up traffic?

I don’t get why the countries don’t qll join forces to push wealth taxes at the same time… Suddenly the loop holes close and either the countries get huge funding to fix their economies, or the wage thieves take their money back and pay it all back to the workers they stole it from.

Isn’t the constant ignorance of global warming and tunnelling money into fossil fuels basically “weather modification”?
