The cycle of abuse stops here.
- Comment on Explain yourselves, comp sci. 1 week ago:
My university requires two for the CS program, as I recall.
- Comment on Prosecutions of Fake Electors for Trump Gain Ground in Swing States 3 weeks ago:
“there’s no such thing as fake electors.”
My summary: reality is whatever I am feeling emotionally at the time.
- Comment on Shawn Fain, president of the UAW: ‘Workers realized they’ve been getting screwed for decades’ 3 weeks ago:
I’m confused–do you think that $12/hour is a livable wage? It should be more like $25 - $30.
- Comment on I'd just be glad they were happy together 4 weeks ago:
How do you find a trustworthy cleaner at an ok price?
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
You didn’t pre heat the oven, exposing the glove to the oven’s full power. It needed to already be hot before the glove went in.
- Comment on Film preservationist Robert Harris defends controversial James Cameron 4K restorations of Aliens, The Abyss and True Lies 5 weeks ago:
You can’t really compare film and 4k digital video, they are very different things.
- Comment on Film preservationist Robert Harris defends controversial James Cameron 4K restorations of Aliens, The Abyss and True Lies 5 weeks ago:
I’d be ok with the 4k if they left the grain in. This is sort of like hos CBS replaced all the special effects on the original Star Trek series. It’s just not good.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
However when the context is the US, you can keep your edginess to yourself.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
This is and always has been the case. Any resistance to change here is fully based on racism.
- Comment on Why is alcohol legal if it's much more harmful than marijuana? 1 month ago:
They wanted an excuse to lock up people of color and disrupt communities. With the civil rights act, they couldn’t go old school. So they invented the “war” on drugs specifically because blacks and Latinos were stereotyped as being cannabis smokers. This is all about racism.
- Comment on How is surgery safely performed on the rectum and its connected piping? 1 month ago:
TLDR your immune system is heavily present in the area since there’s lots of bacteria and stuff up there.
- Comment on When will the floss stop hurting 1 month ago:
If you’ve never flossed before this could take a while to adjust to. Basically you have to heal and strengthen. If you haven’t been in s as long time, be sure to have a checkup with your dentist.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
10% of 8 billion is still many hundreds of millions. That’s a huge number.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
Scientists are trained to do exactly the opposite. Whatever you are saying here, it is not based on any real experience you have.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
Some people develop extreme skills while never learning how to interact with others.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
I had to scroll down to see what you mean. Shocking that people really still don’t understand how privilege works.
- Comment on degree in bamf 1 month ago:
I think you’re right. People want to believe that humans are good but in reality a huge number sure deeply broken.
- Comment on Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed 1 month ago:
This is one thing I have noticed. Gamers salivate so heavily over every little thing and jump on the bandwagon in such numbers that developers don’t need to do too much to earn money. If people were more selective, the whole landscape would appear.
- Comment on Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed 1 month ago:
Yes, I am precisely the same. I get free games through Twitch that sometimes appear in one of those stores and I redeem them but refuse to actually install their launchers. Only GOG and Steam on my systems.
- Comment on Founder of Baldur's Gate 3 developer blasts publisher greed 1 month ago:
Yeah I’m getting really sick of SLAMMED and other clickbait nonsense appearing in headlines.
- Comment on There is one uncleared level remaining in Super Mario Maker, with 18 days to go before the servers shut down 1 month ago:
Turns out they found the person and they want nothing to do with it. Seems the creator went through something of an addiction which allowed him to gain a super power in just one particular uncommon Mario mechanic, resulting in this level. As best I can tell, he had to get away for his own well being.
- Comment on There is one uncleared level remaining in Super Mario Maker, with 18 days to go before the servers shut down 1 month ago:
I’ve been glued to twitch and YouTube waiting to catch it when it goes.
- Comment on Police face looming staffing crisis with one in five officers planning to quit 1 month ago:
Two things:
- An officer shortage would surely be better for the public;
- They are complaining that they can’t be abusive to the public without repercussions.
- Comment on If the agreed upon age of the Universe is updated from 13 billion years old to 26 billion years old how does that affect Science and Astrophysics? 1 month ago:
I seem to recall hearing recently about results that seemed to indicate that a certain galaxy is older than we’d expect.
- Comment on Trump Spurned by 30 Companies as He Seeks Bond in $454 Million Judgment 1 month ago:
I’m fine with this. Let them go broke, too. It’ll keep them from being able to cause as much trouble.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Worse: the police DO NOT SOLVE CRIME. Think of all the hundreds of thousands of untested rape kits. Think of all the stories about someone being murdered because the police decided that it was a “civil” matter.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It’s because something like 2 mass shooting occur EACH DAY in the US. It’s impossible to keep track and that’s why this has faded away.
- Comment on They say nothing about bedbugs. 1 month ago:
Ooh. Rainy chair!
- Comment on Delicious. 1 month ago:
It’s probably the worst drug slang ever created.
