- Comment on Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff? 2 weeks ago:
Because we can’t agree on needs and trusted software due to liability reasons.
The brightest minds in the field can come together and give standard recommendation for use cases using free software, but they don’t. We have billionaires who could fix this problem with a snap of a finger, but they won’t.
Problems are profitable. You can’t sell a solution to a boring mature field.
- Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 3 weeks ago:
Have you tried enacting change and getting third party elected? Are you seriously blaming the voters as if they ever had more than 2 choices?
- Comment on Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this? 4 weeks ago:
I’m going to go on a less extreme take. They’ve been told from childhood they live in the land of opportunity, yet they work in dead end jobs or working fields.
They see money flying away every paycheck they live week to week on while being pumped propaganda (that people in suburbs and urban areas don’t see) that shows people who look different from them getting gov’t housing and getting programs funded with their tax dollars.
The same party they now demonize supports ridiculous looking gay parades that show a mentality they don’t understand, so they begin to hate. They wake up morning after morning in the same place with no change, and they stew and stew and stew.
So now they basically give up and see a hyper-masculine wannabe saying all the things against those who are different, and the long encrusted anger starts spewing out.
Most of the comments here are ignorant and hate filled against the wrong people. It’s not the MAGA supporters that did this, it’s the system. We need to stop polarizing ourselves with hatred and point the finger at those truly responsible. Not the poor (literallly) voters who are so dejected and living in decay that they just don’t give a rats ass anymore.
The more you hate the other side, the less you see the truth. The goal is to make you hate them. The goals is to make them hate you. You can’t define an entire person in a paragraph.

It’s real. I’ve seen it happen with the high concentration dabs. Ended with a hospital stay.
- Comment on Has the USA turned into an oligarchy? 2 months ago:
I think it’s worse. I think we have noble houses fighting for the throne again. The Bush family, the Clinton family, they wanted Michelle Obama… In what sane democracy does the family member or wife of the last elected leader make sense as being the best option? Forget oligarchy, we have a straight up monarchy brewing with a nice democratic paint job.
- Comment on Why is it a common insult for someone to say they slept with your mom? 7 months ago:
Don’t discount the double effectiveness of simultaneously reinforcing their deep-seated beliefs that their mom was a ho and they may not know their true father. While also evoking the white knife deep-seated defense of honor to defend their strong held belief of their mom as the Madonna, and them as Jesus resultingly.

Don’t discount the 30 millions lives lost that day.
