- Comment on BBC News - BBC senior staff told to 'step back' from duties following row 1 week ago:
Their problem is that this event broadcast things which totally contradict the narrative they’re trying to build about what’s happening in the world.
- Comment on Too Many Cooks 1 week ago:
The best part of it was how they released it. I wish I caught it when they aired it, unannounced, in a random time slot on Adult Swim late at night.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 3 weeks ago:
You’re not wrong. I still remember the day I picked up a newspaper and saw the headline “video games earn more than movies for the first time ever,” and I immediately knew where the industry was headed. In retrospect, I was 100% correct.
- Comment on Nier creator Yoko Taro reveals the sad reality of modern AAA game development, “there’s less weird people making games” 3 weeks ago:
Weird people were forced out of the industry over the past decade or more.
- Comment on As ChatGPT Linked to Mental Health Breakdowns, Mattel Announces Plans to Incorporate It Into Children's Toys 3 weeks ago:
I was certain that headline was from The Onion.
- Comment on Jason McBason - Men can't grasp what women are attracted to apparently 1 month ago:
Was Magic Mike just a flash in the pan?
- Comment on The Telegraph has deleted the seemingly made-up article 1 month ago:
“Almost overnight, the school fees went up from £55,000 per year to £70,000. The increase was shocking, but not entirely unexpected,” Moy says. “Ultimately, I believe, the education provided and the sacrifices we will have to make are worth it.”
So they readily admit it’s a fair price, but still felt the need to complain to the media?

I hope you can understand how extenuating circumstances such as yours aren’t the norm.

An indoor cat wouldn’t stand a chance. The lack of experience is an absolutely enormous barrier to overcome, and indoor cats really struggle a lot if they ever get lost outside.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." 1 month ago:
I feel like this is going to be highly variable depending on individual personalities, industries, and even specific employers.
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 month ago:
Dude. Power seekers have been doing this shit since ancient times, and you’re getting your panties in a twist about people who fight back against them?
- Comment on What techniques do bad faith users use online to overwhelm other users in online discussion and arguments? 1 month ago:
Here is a great piece someone put together a while ago which goes through many of the techniques bad actors use.
- Comment on Instead of Orange Man doing Tariffs would it not have been better for him to talk about shopping locally and so forth. And giving more tax breaks to companies that stay and sell in the US? 2 months ago:
I mean, all I can say is that 5 years ago we were trying to get people to buy local because of China, and now Trump has managed to get all the people who didn’t listen back then to become really hardcore about buying local now, thanks to his tariffs.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 2 months ago:
I vaguely remember reading that some dude created 8chan because he thought 4chan was too heavily moderated or smth, which considering the little I saw while perusing 4chan ages ago, makes me wonder the depths to which 8chan can go.
You’d be surprised how uptight people can be about certain things, even while being extremely liberal with others.
- Comment on 4chan Is Dead. Its Toxic Legacy Is Everywhere 2 months ago:
4chan in the past years was mostly known as a FBI honeypot.

Oh great. Nothing is safe from the Trans Am agenda.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 2 months ago:
Because ‘Left’ and ‘Right’ are concepts used to split the voting population into two roughly equal groups which can be placed against each other to balance the other out. Where the divide needs to be made in order to achieve two roughly equally sized groups is different for each population.
- Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore? 2 months ago:
Because irrational hatred is so ubiquitous that it goes entirely unquestioned (and even defended as you’re likely to see in response to this post), almost nobody seems to be aware that the scientific method was actually developed by the Catholic church as the religiously approved way to explore the mysteries of our world. The view that the religion is rigid and exclusionary just plain isn’t supported by reality. You can certainly find bad examples and pretend you’ve “proved” something, but there are far, far more good people who aren’t brain dead zealots.
- Comment on Ubisoft says you "cannot complain" it shut down The Crew because you never actually owned it, and you weren't "deceived" by the lack of an offline version 2 months ago:
I think someone calculated the time it would take to read every single one you’re expected to agree with in normal every day life, and it worked out to needing 76 work days to read everything you “agree” to in a typical year.
- Comment on Why do people insist on not answering ALL the questions in an email or text message? 2 months ago:
I was taught in college to only include a single question in one email unless you can’t get around it, because many people will only see the first one.
- Comment on Is this picture idea immature? 2 months ago:
It’s totally immature.
If that’s something you think you’ll have fun doing, I fully recommend it!
- Comment on Seeing a lot of copium but am I fucking crazy? The market would have to do more than just recover for people to recoup their losses? 2 months ago:
Am I taking crazy pills? The charts I’m looking at are still showing the markets substantially above where they were 10 years ago.

Could he have any interest in taking on other roles, like management? If he’s doing great in school, and has a direct connection to learning the ins and the outs of the industry through you, he could have a significant leg up.
- Comment on What art style you want to reproduce? 3 months ago:
I’m not certain if there’s actually a name for it, but I’m rather partial to this style I see all over the place in which a human artist uses physical media to create something which evokes emotions in the audience.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 months ago:
Ask yourself what you think your country would look like if the Internet was hyper fixated on every single bad example anyone could find within your borders.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 3 months ago:
How does followers of a religion equal to respect
Christianity isn’t like Islam where you’re disowned (and often murdered) for the crime of leaving. People who were born into a Christian family but don’t respect the religion can simply choose not to follow it anymore (with the notable exception of a few cults, but they hardly make up the whole). And once again, even many non-believers still have respect for the message of love and peace which Jesus championed.
- Comment on We Shouldn’t Have to Work This Hard 3 months ago:
I’d be working much harder if it wasn’t illegal to do the things I actually want to do with my life, like building my own shelters.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 3 months ago:
We’re talking about how many people respect the Bible, not whether or not it’s legitimate.
- Comment on The Tesla Backlash Is Biblical 3 months ago:
I’m sorry, but social media does not give you an accurate picture of the real world.
