Exactly. More specifically, I’m not afraid of how people vote, I’m afraid of people choosing not to.
- Comment on Well, it's officially over. Tom Hardy says George Miller’s "MAD MAX: FURY ROAD" prequel "THE WASTELAND" is no longer happening. 1 week ago:
This take is like being mad at supercars for not being practical daily drivers.
It’s a pure action movie. Why would you ever be expecting anything deep?
- Comment on How typical 3 weeks ago:
Here’s a thought: do electric cars count as automatic or the most manual cars possible? On the one hand, there’s no clutch or stick shift, but on the other hand, if you want to change gears, you have to disassemble the transmission and change out the gears.
- Comment on Lmao this one hurts 4 weeks ago:
What’s the pay at those regional schools and community colleges? Is it enough to cover massive student debt?
What research opportunities are there at those colleges? Could it be that teaching was just a necessary evil required for the job they actually want to do?
- Comment on U.S. to Stop Buying Russian Uranium, Cutting Cash to Moscow 1 month ago:
None. There’s other sources of uranium in the world.
- Comment on Don't Let Your Thoughts Wander 1 month ago:
There is no “they”. Manufacturers respond to whet people are buying, and try to predict where that trend will go. If that trend went towards different keyboard layouts, they’d do it. None of them have any actual vested interest in a given keyboard layout.
- Comment on Don't Let Your Thoughts Wander 1 month ago:
Yeah. It’s one of those things where while a different solution is technically better, the benefit doesn’t come close to outweighing the effort of changing for the overwhelming majority of people. And so the status quo remains.
- Comment on Don't Let Your Thoughts Wander 1 month ago:
I’d say it’s got less to do with making money off the status quo, and more to do with lack of money in any of the alternatives. Most people can’t type fast enough for extra layout efficiency to matter, and even fewer people care.
- Comment on A healthy life goal 1 month ago:
Nope. Those are the “purebred” ones. You know, the kind of purebred that actually means inbred to the point of barely being able to survive and yet somehow “worth” more.
- Comment on evangelism 1 month ago:
I think this pretty much applies to all fields. Everything looks complicated and hard to outside people, but once you get into the field, you realize that most people are just average.

The joke really doesn’t work as well when neither the spelling nor the pronunciation match.
- Comment on Amazon's Fallout TV Series Renewed For Season 2 2 months ago:
That’s what I do with all TV/Movie adaptations. Is so much easier to just sit back and enjoy when you aren’t constantly comparing it to something it’s not.
- Comment on A bad influence 2 months ago:
Wait, so me saying that Teams is not that bad relatively speaking is a toxic mindset? You do see the irony of flying handle at me to say that, right?
- Comment on A bad influence 2 months ago:
I’m talking software/firmware in general, not just chat clients/protocols. As I said, you seem to need some perspective.
- Comment on A bad influence 2 months ago:
Everything is relative. Teams is a shining beacon of competency when compared to a lot of the utter shit software and firmware that I end up having to deal with.
- Comment on A bad influence 2 months ago:
Honestly, I think that anyone who is this angry about Microsoft products needs to spend some time working with the types of industrial software that makes the manufacturing world go round. Just to get some perspective on what truly God awful software actually looks like.
- Comment on Look for the warning signs 2 months ago:
One example does not prove a trend.
Plus, I’m just talking about perception, not the reality of the actual political leanings of every single Carhartt customer.
- Comment on Look for the warning signs 2 months ago:
Wait, Carhartt is a stereotype of the left wing now? I’ve always associated it with very blue collar, outdoors type work. The kinds of jobs that you wouldn’t typically associate with left wing extremism.
- Comment on this one goes out to the arts & humanities 2 months ago:
I think one thing you and many other people misunderstand is that the image generation aspect of AI is a sideshow, both in use and in intent.
The ability to generate images from text based prompts is basically a side effect of the ability that they are actually spending billions on, which is object detection.

- Comment on Anon buys an air fryer 2 months ago:
Oversized fan. A lot of toaster ovens already were able to do convection cooking, just need to move more air and provide a basket to call it an air fryer.
As a side note, I highly recommend a good toaster oven to everyone. It heats up so much faster than the normal oven, and when reheating things, it doesn’t ruin the texture like a microwave. And I don’t have to store separate toaster and air fryer.
- Comment on I still don't get why people spend money... there's tons of it for free 3 months ago:
I think you’re really overthinking it. I’d say the vast majority of people paying simply came across something they wanted to see, and paying for it is faster and easier (and safer) than trying to search it out for free.
