At this point, I’d even be willing to forgo the punishment, if they’d just stop fucking doing it.
- Comment on Trure 23 hours ago:
Yes, I understood some of those words.

Is there any other universal icon that is at all related to throwing things away? The recycling icon might just be a win by default.
- Comment on It improves the morale of the future worker. 2 days ago:
How it possibly be “bog standard” when it’s the only developed nation on the planet where it’s true?
- Comment on It improves the morale of the future worker. 2 days ago:
assuming she has one
Aaaand there’s the rub. Poor and pregnant? You can just go fuck yourself.
- Comment on Might not be efficient, but at least it... Uhhh, wait, what good does it provide again? 4 days ago:
Every once in a while I try to use it at work. It has yet to actually provide me with anything useful.
- Comment on Maybe they should double down and blame trans pedophiles. 1 week ago:
That’s a new one. Don’t think I’ve ever heard of a narrative where Democrats blamed anything on trans people.
- Comment on Scandal 2 weeks ago:
Doesn’t have to actually be on the island to acquire the pictures.
- Comment on Read the Jeffrey Epstein Emails That Mention Trump 2 weeks ago:
Most of that is standard corporate email signature stuff these days. I think it’s meant to help if you decide to sue someone for leaking private emails. Might keep people from being able to use the “I didn’t know it was confidential” defense.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 3 weeks ago:
Slightly better for the teeth maybe? And maybe a slight benefit if heartburn is an issue.
- Comment on It's OK to just like lemon water. 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but with lemon flavour. I think the idea is if you started with plain water, then added lemon, you’d now have lemon flavoured acidic water. If you start with alkaline water, you’d end up with lemon flavoured neutral water.

What about tomato soup?
- Comment on #environmentalist 5 weeks ago:
Yes, because nobody ever took their drink to go after finishing their meal.
- Comment on Great Depression: Part Deux 5 weeks ago:
It could still be very much middle class. Parents make it out of nostalgia from when they were kids, instead of making it out of necessity.
- Comment on #environmentalist 5 weeks ago:
The odd time I end up eating fast food and getting a paper straw, it’s the fact that it goes mushy before I finish my drink. I think that’s the texture issue people are talking about.
- Comment on I'm too stupid for this 5 weeks ago:
The problem I had is that taking one assortment of numbers that had no meaning, doing a bunch of operations on them (never actually finishing the operations though, because the last steps were “obvious”) leading to a different arrangement of numbers that also meant nothing, was not a good method of teaching. The pass/fail rate of that course relative to all the others reflected that. Every other teacher/professor I had before or since would include context when introducing an entirely new concept.
- Comment on I'm too stupid for this 5 weeks ago:
I had a linear algebra professor who did that all the time. Never did figure out what an eigenvector is not why I would want 14 ways of finding one. Brilliant man, terrible teacher.
- Comment on one bright second 1 month ago:
The chances of me living long enough to actually be effected by it are so slim that I’m completely unconcerned about it.

The last stars will burn out in 120 trillion years
We think. We still haven’t solved things like the dark matter/energy problem. The answer to that alone could drastically change what we estimate will happen in the distant future.

True, but most consumers aren’t doing bulk storage. Most people just have cell phone and laptop
- Comment on Some are too young to understand 1 month ago:
Gotta keep them on their toes.
- Comment on Some are too young to understand 1 month ago:
Hard drives are going to be one of those in between things that Gen x/millennials will understand, but were already obsolete by the time Gen z rolled around.
- Comment on Which one and why? 1 month ago:
What’s stopping you from using it for soup?
- Comment on Harsh 1 month ago:
Why limit yourself to Apollo velocities? We’re trying to shoot the moon, not land in it.
- Comment on Amid EA's unpopular $55 billion buyout, Baldur's Gate 3 director takes time "to remind people that making games faster and cheaper while charging more has never worked before" 1 month ago:
One of the biggest parts of the problem is that corporate management types can’t quantify experience and skill. This leads to them thinking of projects purely in terms of man-hours, and they cannot comprehend that not all man-hours are equal. It’s an issue that plagues a lot of industries.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 1 month ago:
I used to use Spotify, but then I learned that YouTube premium cost the same amount, and came with access to YouTube music, so I switched. Got tired of playing YouTube ad blocking whack-a-mole.
If Google starts enshittifying Premium too much, I’ll go back to sailing the high seas for stuff I’m not going to/can’t get on vinyl.
- Comment on True staple of the format 1 month ago:
Except, when you Google something, the best answers are (or at least used to be) most often Reddit comments provided by people who aren’t douchebags.
- Comment on Uh oh lol 2 months ago:
If something is red shifting, it’s accelerating away from you. If something is blue shifting, it’s accelerating towards you. An entire galaxy accelerating towards you is somewhat concerning.

Does anyone make a 65"+ monitor though?

I think “Last Kiss” by Pearl Jam is next on this hyper-depressing playlist.
