- Comment on Newbury: Firearms seized from suspected gun factory - BBC News 3 days ago:
Yeah I’m not saying it’s legal. But its a long way from “factory”
- Comment on Newbury: Firearms seized from suspected gun factory - BBC News 4 days ago:
Also, even if he was making guns, it might have been for a personal hobby.
- Comment on Luigi Mangione, CEO shooting suspect, is a tech worker 1 week ago:
Wasn’t the manifesto (and the silencer) found after searching his apartment?
- Comment on [Même] Which movie was this for you? 1 month ago:
I showed my friends Rubber. It’s a movie about a serial killer tire. I think it’s great. Everyone I’ve showed it to thought it was terrible.
- Comment on The company building former U.S. President Donald Trump Media’s tech has historic links to Iran, Russia, and China 2 months ago:
“here” is beehaw, which is a bit more sane. You’re probably thinking of lemmy.ml
- Comment on Bees 2 months ago:
What pests are wasps and hornets killing? The wasps and hornets *are" the pests to me.
- Comment on Shooting conspiracies trend on X as Musk endorses Trump 5 months ago:
We’re talking about leftists here. The #staged and #flaseflag ideas are conspiracy theories that the would-be assassin was actually planted by Trump to boost his campaign. These are theorized by people that don’t like Trump.
- Comment on I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used? 5 months ago:
Yeah it’s not the best option. But it did popularize the form factor
- Comment on What are your favourite controllers? 5 months ago:
I think most PowerA controllers don’t have gyro or NFC. PowerA is what you’re most likely to find as a 3rd party controller.
- Comment on I asked what your fave controllers are, now. What is the worst controller you have used? 5 months ago:
On the other hand, you can play with your hands in completely different locations which is nice for being lazy on a couch.
- Comment on Dr Disrespect finally shares why he was banned from Twitch 5 months ago:
Has this changed? It used to be that sexting was explicitly just referring to sending nudes and the surrounding horny conversation. If you’re right, the definition has broadened to include flirting or locker room humor.
What should really happen is Dr Disrespect should release the DMs (after redacting any details of the minor) so we can stop speculating about how bad this is.

Let’s say my name is Jerry. I’m a little short but not a lot. My work hired another dude named Jerry and he was absolutely massive. At least 400 lbs. So he became big Jerry and I became little Jerry. I attempted to just be Jerry but they were having none of that.
- Comment on Best BBQ on the block 7 months ago:
I think one of the first commercially viable cultured meat products will be celebrity burgers. People aren’t going to spend a bunch of extra money on regular beef but they might spend $40 on Kim Kardashian’s ass meat.
- Comment on Movie lines people laughed at in theaters despite not actually being intended to be funny? 7 months ago:
In the recent Ferrari movie, there’s a scene with one of the legendary racing drivers. He’s in the lead at the big race and he just needs to bring it home for the win. He’s got a big smile, the shots are serene, the music is swelling. Then suddenly, he wrecks super violently and crashes into a crowd of people. I absolutely lost it. I was the only one.
- Comment on Biden signs TikTok “ban” bill into law, starting the clock for ByteDance to divest it 7 months ago:
You claimed that the government was focusing on this one issue when really it was a small part of a much larger legislation. Whether it’s good or bad is a separate judgement.
- Comment on Biden signs TikTok “ban” bill into law, starting the clock for ByteDance to divest it 7 months ago:
This was part of an overall package including aid to Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan.
- Comment on [deleted] 7 months ago:
Personally, I just find it really disappointing. This Tik Tok issue could have been an opportunity to improve privacy and reduce data collection across the board. Instead, it’s a surgical strike in order to not disrupt American tech companies doing the same thing.
What will happen is that Bytedance will sell the US Tik Tok to an American VC firm and it will continue data hoarding as before. This time, the US government will be getting the data instead of the CCP. I’d rather nobody got it.
- Comment on Got a Switch today, need some recommendations. 8 months ago:
If you’re trying to play with your son, Smash Ultimate is good. It also has a good amount of single-player content.
- Comment on we are but a gravy train in outer space 8 months ago:
I’m no scientist, but there is some debate about whether it’s a fundamental force. Some think it might be like centrifugal force which isn’t “real” but shows up in a certain reference frame. Gravity might actually be a result of thermodynamics and entropy.
- Comment on Activision Blizzard’s ex-CEO Bobby Kotick reportedly wants to buy TikTok 9 months ago:
When I worked in a factory, all the old country maintenance guys and techs were on tik Tok during their breaks.
- Comment on Paul Wall, Slim Thug & Mike Jones Tease 'Still Tippin' Tour As Classic Song Turns 20 11 months ago:
Amen. Slim Thug"s verse especially is just a clean flow.
- Comment on What games do you think are unfairly snubbed when talking about the best games of all time? 11 months ago:
Then, the sequels were so consistently mediocre that the original was more or less erased from history.
I will not have you slander Battlefield Vietnam like this. I spent countless hours on a “heliwars” server after school as a kid.
- Comment on [deleted] 11 months ago:
Theoretically, that would only reduce the price proportional to the amount of new production relative to existing world production. This does little to dampen market turbulence.
- Comment on Drew Barrymore’s 3 co-head writers aren’t returning, even after WGA strike lifts 1 year ago:
Oh. Well what does it matter what we’d say? I’d wager the people in this thread aren’t her core audience.
- Comment on Drew Barrymore’s 3 co-head writers aren’t returning, even after WGA strike lifts 1 year ago:
She didn’t fail to appease the internet. She did something to make 3 of her employees not want to work for her. Maybe they just used the time away from work to re-evaluate their careers and decided to make a move with no hard feelings. Maybe it had been a terrible place to work and the announcement was the last straw. I bet they have a much more nuanced view of the situation than we do.
