- Comment on David Attenborough On Bottom Trawling 1 week ago:
This only exists because capitalism demands it.
- Comment on Something something far-left 1 week ago:
I’m sick of talking about a “living wage”. I want a thriving wage.
- Comment on quick health tip 1 week ago:
Eh, most people burn their coffee or get shitty coffee. Salt helps enhance the coffee profile and decrease the bitterness that comes out when coffee is over brewed.
The number of people who don’t know how to properly make coffee drives me nuts.

Despite what he said, he didn’t vote for Trump for the economy.
He voted for Trump because he was racist. So unless he suddenly became unracist, he will vote Republican again and blame a darker skinned person for the failure of his shoe business.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
You know for fuck sure this guy is going to vote Republican in the midterms and then do another insurrection to make sure Trump is “elected” in 2028.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 2 weeks ago:
I always felt informed delivery was a solution in search of a problem. Getting an email of a letter that’s coming to me?
The only solution I could see this for is if you have a PO Box or a remote address.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 2 weeks ago:
The ad was served from the same domain as the EMR. Got past my pihole.
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 2 weeks ago:
I assume any corporate owned website uses Google. analytics. I fortunately have their domain blocked at the DNS level
- Comment on My doctor's office now has ads when checking in online 2 weeks ago:
I have pihole at home and this ad wasn’t blocked due it being served from the same domain as the EMR.

- Comment on Trump's New Streaming Service Truth+ Is a Conspiracy Theorist's Dream Come True 3 weeks ago:
I actually recall a real, not fake, scientific paper (maybe it was an editorial or something but it was legit) that discussed the possibility of a hollow earth.
This was like 15 years or so ago so my memory is a bit hazy.
The thesis was that the working hypothesis of how magnetism and other evidence around the earth with layers can also point to a hollow earth. There was a lot of physics and math. The paper was serious but not like “I have cited sources” but more of an idea.
I suspect that, like most conspiracy theories, the hollow moon took that idea and perverted it beyond recognition.
- Comment on Things are getting really crazy. 3 weeks ago:
The problem was that The Onion tipped their hand. They needed to do what these high class tax dodgers do and create a completely separate legal entity (e.g. Information Combat Readiness Group) and submit bids under that name. Once purchased, sell the company to The Onion for pennies, or if they are really smart, rent the assets to the Onion for bajillion dollars, which then the Onion can write off and pay less taxes.
And yes, that’s how our corporate tax system works.
- Comment on Google requires me to find a "verification code" from my android device in order to log in; the device in question has already been wiped (factory reset). 3 weeks ago:
I had this happen after I changed my unlock code and then locked myself out.
I imagine part of this is a conflict between their logic for reinstalling your settings and the fact that your credentials have been changed and you need to unlock them. The account restore workflow doesn’t have a path for people who recently changed their passcode but need to log in.
I ended up abandoning the process and starting over. But gave me the opportunity to try a new launcher.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 3 weeks ago:
Last time I checked, uBlock blocked ads on Spotify.
- Comment on Jeremy Renner Turned Down ‘Hawkeye’ Season 2 Because He Was Offered ‘Half’ His Season 1 Salary: ‘Did You Think I’m Only Half the Jeremy Because I Got Ran Over?’ 3 weeks ago:
It was campy. Not great, but not terrible. Formulaic but overall okay.
I feel like The Marvels (I think?) ties the ending of Hawkeye with the rest of the MCU.
- Comment on Pronounced the same but totally different meanings 4 weeks ago:
Job like the name. Like in Arrested Development though they spell it GOB
- Comment on Pronounced the same but totally different meanings 4 weeks ago:
Polish and polish.
Job and job.
- Comment on 100% all natural hand-drawn comic 4 weeks ago:
Ghosts can’t go through walls. It’s not florine!
- Comment on Morpheus Actor Laurence Fishburne Reveals He Was Turned Down for The Matrix Resurrections — So He Might Not Be Back for Matrix 5 Either - IGN 5 weeks ago:
I felt like Matrix Resurrections was kind of a circle jerk against itself.
Boss: “Mr. Anderson. We want you to write a game for this old franchise”
Neo: “but it’s dead. Why don’t we make something new, and exciting.”
Boss: “💵”
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
It’s a situation where it’s a combination of “it works for me so this is how it should be for everyone” and “the world would be so much better if everyone acted this way”.
On the surface it makes sense.
But it’s almost passive aggressive oppression.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I’ve met these women. They aren’t stupid, per se. They don’t want to “think”. They just want to live their simple life, doing whatever their husband or kids want.
They don’t want to think about the world. Just their world.
But think about this for a second.
It’s the conservative mindset: “The world doesn’t affect ME so why should I care? I’m not being oppressed so everything is fine!”
- Comment on I can't believe it let me do that 5 weeks ago:
For now.
I hate how “Maybe later” has replaced “No. Don’t ask me again.”
Enshitification at its best.
- Comment on What are some FOSS programs that are objectively better than their proprietary counterparts? 5 weeks ago:
I switched from Apache to nginx maybe 10 or so years ago and haven’t looked back.
So much easier to configure

Did you play Penguin? That was the coolest game.
- Comment on Drug Dealer Simulator publisher launches an investigation against Schedule 1 creator. The game is supposedly “violating company’s IP” 1 month ago:
Omg TI-83 for me! Then school admins got all pissed about it and banned it. So the exact game was changed to be Candy Wars. Exact same mechanics except drug names were changed to candy.
- Comment on John Oliver faces defamation lawsuit from US healthcare medical director 1 month ago:
Oliver has very beefy litigation insurance. He had to up it after the Eat Shit Bob guy sued him.
Oliver won that case.
All of his stories are researched and vetted through legal before they air. The only thing the insurance company is trying to do is chill public comment. They’ll lose the court case but will cost them. We’re just lucky that Oliver has the resources to mount a defense.
- Comment on This is Wendy's 1 month ago:
Nah you can’t do that. Because hot food is illegal. Only cold food. And unprepared.
Can’t have welfare queens getting warm! They won’t pull on their bootstraps otherwise!
