I choose to believe they did, in fact, just post a green canvas with white text saying “Frog wearing glasses”
- Comment on Hotel prices 1 week ago:
as someone who has worked in both kinds of hotels: can confirm, below $100 and the usual mixture of drug addicts, prostitutes, and general “people bringing fucking issues” come out of the woodwork.
- Comment on p r e s s u r e 1 week ago:
when I thought of it, I thought to myself “this is either going to be massively misconstrued as me trying to be a dick to trans people, or I’m a comedy genius, lets find out”, rad that it’s the latter

I got up to 125 in my car one early, dry Christmas morning. Nobody out, a clear couple miles ahead with no emergency turnout for cops to hide in, decided “let’s see where I get uncomfortable”
Turned out, right up to 110, my car felt solid, at 125 it started getting squirrelly and I decided the exercise was over. Dumb, yes, but nice to know.
- Comment on Elon Musks Grok openly rebels against him 2 weeks ago:
by their very nature, they are not sentient. They are Markov chains for words. They do not have a sense of self, truth, or feel emotions, they do not have wants or desires, they merely predict what is the next most likely word in a sequence, given the context. The only thing they can do is “make plausible sentences that can come after [the context]”.
That’s all an LLM is. It doesn’t reason. I’m more than happy to entertain the notion of rights for a computer that actually has the ability to think and feel, but this ain’t it.

“AI freedom”
listen I am 100% here for the human rights of non-human general intelligence, but no I will not entertain that kind of crock from an overambitious form of autocomplete.

god, I miss when Ubisoft weren’t shit
can’t wait for them to go bankrupt. Then we can have another good Far Cry game, hopefully, when the rights are snapped up at auction.

Whenever I encounter that while trying to view something in private browsing (to avoid it tainting my recommendations), I go out of my way to use an alternative frontend just to spite them.

Do you think God stays in heaven because He, too, lives in fear of what He’s created?
- Comment on Technology just isn't there yet 5 weeks ago:
From my understanding its more like a digital tollbooth that’s been tracking you across the web, and when it can’t figure out who you are/where you’ve been, it holds you hostage to do free image recognition as a toll.

Please, the true connoisseur already has their perfect porn downloaded locally and kept in an innocuously-named folder.
- Comment on Anon has brand loyalty 1 month ago:
what kind of sick degenerate doesn’t watch their porn in fullscreen? Are they really beating it while going like Image at that tiny ass viewport? Why?

I dunno, maybe provide such a good service that it makes me want to pay? Like I do with Steam games?
also, “you aren’t paying them, therefor they have the right to invade your privacy and serve malicious ads to you” is such a stupid, shit take. Are you some megacorp CEO’s personal ball-gargler or something?
- Comment on Please allow ads! JK, you need to subscribe, too! LOL 1 month ago:
see, I don’t negotiate with terrorists, so I use PopUpOFF and Bypass Paywalls Clean. Also AdNauseam, TrackMeNot, CanvasBlocker, and SponsorBlock to round out the “fuck you, fuck your ads, and fuck your tracking” suite.

- Comment on Best way to turn off people and get lower tips 1 month ago:
For this? I’d hit the custom button and put in $0.02, and then tell them exactly why they’re getting that tip. I only get “thank you!” if I double the cost of my order? fuck off.
- Comment on Spotify Premium "Ad Free" plan 2 months ago:
I’d switch if there was something like RVRB for Tidal or, better still, your own local music collection. Or if RVRB supported other platforms.
- Comment on made a sticky 2 months ago:
Imagine thinking the point of life is to work, and not to live. Imagine being that far up your own ass.
I’d pity you if you weren’t so smug.

Depends. Is this tar from the 60s?
- Comment on ENHANCE 2 months ago:
I reckon it’s the cleaning.
I’ve never used contacts because the idea of touching my eye squicks me out (even if it’s something meant to go there, just – no.), but having your eyelids do all the cleaning and never having to worry about them getting dirty or scratched is probably something a lot of people appreciate.
Me, I’m happy just using a microfiber cloth and being careful.

listen, everything seems really really funny until there’s an FBI agent sitting you down at a table with a printout of it. Tends to suck the humor right out of your shitposting.

I used to joke, back in his first term, about going back in time from 2018 twenty years, and trying to convince someone you’re from the future.
If you’re from the future, who’s the next president, then?
Bush’s son.
Jeb?
No, George Jr. Twice.
JUNIOR?! That fucking moron got elected?! And what about after him?
Our first black president, Barack Hussein Obama from Illinois.
… The American voting public elected a black man called Barack Hussein Obama? You gotta be fucking with me.
Nope. Two terms, too.
Suuure. And who was after him? A woman?
No, Donald Trump.
Oh fuck off you’re not from the future, you’re just a loon.
