- Comment on Bannon Salute, Echoing Musk, Draws Criticism From French Right 9 hours ago:
He didn’t seem that committed unlike Musk. Musk put his heart and soul into his salute. Bannon looked like he was told to do it. Like deep down he knew it was fucked up. Something like “if you don’t do this on stage we will ruin your fucking life” kinda energy.
- Comment on Projected DOGE savings now near $110 billion, or over $700 per American taxpayer. 2 days ago:
And defunding things that help people just because you disagree with it isn’t corruption? Even when you know all this money they are “saving” is just going right back into their pockets? Lemme know when you get your check in the mail and maybe then I’ll believe you.
- Comment on DOGE Claimed It Saved $8 Billion in One Contract. It Was Actually $8 Million. 2 days ago:
Regardless of the amount, that’s all going back to the people, right? And since we’re saving so much money we should have lower taxes, right? Lemme know when y’all get your check in the mail because I’m still broke as fuck.
- Comment on Projected DOGE savings now near $110 billion, or over $700 per American taxpayer. 3 days ago:
And y’all really think you’ll see any of that money? Or that your taxes will go down because of all the new savings? Like I get it, the government wastes money. But if you think this helps the average American in any way you are extremely naive.

Don’t forget the potash.
- Comment on Reddit Sub Ban Wave 2 weeks ago:
They’re making sure the system works for when they need to hit it for real. Just like all the other social media platforms that “accidentally” censored anything that wasn’t pro Trump.
- Comment on My YouTube homepage after I watch one balatro video 2 weeks ago:
I totally feel you but for a different reason. I played Balatro for a few days and literally the only thing Steam recommended to me for over a month was just card based rogue-like games.
Also I recommend the one by RTGame. Probably my favorite streamer. He’s Irish so I never catch the streams but the YouTube videos are great.

Yeah but where’s the actual proof? This is an opinion piece.

I get the sentiment, but I actually want what’s in the image.
- Comment on Sony finally surrenders: PSN accounts will be 'optional' for games on Steam, but they'll give you free stuff if you sign up 3 weeks ago:
And then they wait for everyone to buy their games before they bring it back. Not saying it will happen. Just that it might.

It’s a power move.

Riiiight. If they knew about who they were before, why weren’t they already arrested?

- Comment on Genshin Impact Game Developer Will be Banned from Selling Lootboxes to Teens Under 16 without Parental Consent, Pay a $20 Million Fine to Settle FTC Charges. 5 weeks ago:
As much as I like putting limitations on lootboxes or banning them out right, I’ve seen what developers do when they can’t use lootboxes. $20 to $30 “micro” transactions and predatory menus and game mechanics that make you feel bad for not owning the latest hotness. They will do anything to make that microtransaction money regardless. They’ll just take advantage of a different part of your brain.

I don’t even know what a God of War live service game would be like but I can’t imagine it would be good.

- Comment on Potash 5 weeks ago:
They look like any other mine, really. Only ever been inside the mine once but it was pretty neat. Most of the actual mining is done by machines that are controlled remotely. The big chunks of the pure shit looks like a pinkish orange quartz rock. Most of what they get isn’t as pure though and they need to refine it with crushers and the like.
They got warehouses where they keep the raw ore before it’s processed. It honestly just looks like sparkly dirt at this stage. After they process it they get a few different products out of it and crush it into different consistencies like fine grain or granular. They have these domes that they store them in that have a feeder at the bottom to slowly trickle out onto conveyors for transport or more refining. Pretty much each dome has a different product too with different grains and uses. Most of it by this point looks like the cinnamon crystals on Cinnamon Toast Crunch. That’s the good shit right there where it’s all potash with very little impurities.
They get a lot of different kinds of salt out of it and they keep most of that outside. Some of that stuff is super white and fine. It has the consistency of sand or snow (or even cocaine) and looks the part too. I mean, it’s basically just salt at this point (not the kind you wanna eat) and they sell it off depending on its use. I don’t think it’s the same kinda stuff they’d send off to the evaporation pools but I could be mistaken. Last time I was there they had a giant pile outside that was about the size of a grocery store of that white salt. And one of the salt piles that’s a byproduct is road salt. Not as pure and not very expensive, but it’s just a by product so they refine that shit to sell it off.

I’ve been to a couple potash mine. Those guys were pretty cool.
- Comment on Anon degoogles his Samsung 1 month ago:
It’s honestly such a pain in the ass to say no to everything Google shoves down your throat these days. And even after you say no it will remind you every so many days just in case you changed your mind after the 15th time you said no.
- Comment on Developer of WalkScape (the fitness MMORPG where you progress by walking IRL) here again. We're accepting new players and have a Lemmy community! 1 month ago:
Hey! I almost forgot about this when I left Reddit. I was so excited to see it come to fruition some day. I’d love to beta test but I’ve moved to an office job since then so I probably won’t be able to help much.
- Comment on We need a new Amazon 2 months ago:
Honestly I’ve been enjoying going to stores in person again. It definitely takes some getting used to after the convenience of online shopping has been a part of my life pretty much since I was in highschool , but I think the change is worth it. I’ll just make a list of things that I need and when the list gets big enough I just make a day of it and just go to a bunch of different stores.
I kinda forgot how satisfying it can be to actually go shopping. I got a couple new pillows and some new bed sheet sets last month and it was so nice being able to feel what I was buying before I actually got it. If I’d gotten the pillows from Amazon I guarantee I’d get something cheap and not find out until they show up that they are awful. And I probably wouldn’t return them and just internalize it and convince myself they were better than my old pillows because they are “new.”
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 months ago:
Except the photo they have of him with his face visible isn’t even the same guy. Doesn’t even have the same clothes or backpack. So unless this dude is proficient at changing his clothes and ditching a backpack all while riding an electric scooter down the street in New York, then they have the wrong guy in that photo.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 months ago:
Like I said, making exceptions is always a bad idea. It’s how these fuck heads even get away with it. But at the same time I can’t agree with exceptions even if I agree with the reason behind it.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 months ago:
Exactly. :)
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s kinda my point. The system is fucked beyond repair specifically because these people running the companies get exceptions. These people have basically let thousands of people die for the sake of money. So like I said before, murder is murder and should be treated as such.
- Comment on Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted? 2 months ago:
If he gets caught, then I’d say yes. Murder should be treated as murder regardless of what the reason is. Making exceptions is never a good idea.
I just hope he doesn’t get caught.
- Comment on That's right! 2 months ago:
How do you even find stuff like that? Because I’ve definitely thought of giving that a try ngl.
- Comment on That's right! 2 months ago:
Bro, I’m trying. I work all the time and online dating sucks butt. I think I’ve been on every dating app there is at least twice over the past 7 years with zero success. Like, I know I’m an introvert but it shouldn’t be that hard. Especially when everyone and their mom tells me how great of a dude I am.
I think my problem is that I’m just not built for online dating. My last girlfriend and I met through fucking Reddit of all places… They should make a dating app for introverts where there are no pictures until you match with someone. Because I’m sure I’m not the only introvert that cannot for the life them take a good picture of themselves.
