- Comment on Jon Stewart's Debate Analysis: Trump's Blatant Lies and Biden's Senior Moments | The Daily Show 2 days ago:
It’s like when Trump ran campaign ads about police brutality and crimes going up in inner cities…that all happened under Trump with the tag, “This is Biden’s America”.
It is true what they say: truth has a liberal bias.

Don’t cars have carborators? Are carborators edible?
I don’t know anything about cars except they go vroom. I know even less about chemistry.
- Comment on Not to mom shame... 6 days ago:
MIT is obviously is trying to trick us into removing our protection!
- Comment on I’ve been locked out of PayPal for years because of their mistake 1 week ago:
Not in the US. The number of people who trust PayPal absolutely amazes me.
PayPal is not a bank. Regardless of what they write on their site, they aren’t regulated as a bank or insured as a bank.
They have the legal authority to close your account and take your money for any reason. There are countless horror stories of people trying to get PayPal to release their funds only to find out they have no legal recourse.
- Comment on I was explaining to my daughter about the differences between Gimp and Photoshop and saw that Adobe had a page that claimed to compare the two. It never compares the two. It barely mentions Gimp. 1 week ago:
I stopped reading after “subscription-based”.
- Comment on Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else” - Workers stayed remote even when told they could no longer be promoted. 1 week ago:
For my company, food is free as is the parking. But basically the same concept: all that food is being prepared and being wasted (donated).
They tried to justify that coming into the office is paying the salaries of the custodians, cafeteria workers, etc.
- Comment on Julia Louis-Dreyfus Calls ‘Bulls—‘ Over Complaints That ‘Comics Can’t Be Funny Now’ Due to P.C. Culture: It’s Not an ‘Impossible Time to Be Funny’ 1 week ago:
Conan O’Brien had an interview I think with Taylor Tomlinson where they talked about this topic.
Their conclusion was that comics that complain about it being harder to do comedy are just lazy.
It’s always been hard. Even if it’s true that there are less topics that you can touch, it means that you have to dig deeper in the well you can. It’s your job as a comic to do that hard work, not the audience’s job to laugh at your shit joke.
Conan has been doing comedy his whole life and talks about jokes that do great one night and jokes that bomb the next. Comics need to learn to read the room and adjust their jokes accordingly.
- Comment on Russell Crowe on Actors Complaining About Starring in Superhero Films: You’re ‘Here for the Wrong Reasons’ If You Expect It to Be ‘Life-Changing’ 1 week ago:
Personally, I think it was Civil War that really pushed the superhero genre. It was no longer a bunch of good guys fighting evil.
It was good guys can’t agree on what good means and will fight each other to prove themselves right.
- Comment on The current state of auto insurance: shit that belongs on a shady Kickstarter from 2013 2 weeks ago:
But this kind of thing is ripe for unintended consequences at best and flat out bad data at worst.
When I drive I put my phone in the center so I can see the map. If me and my passenger’s phones are in the center, who is marked as driving when I get into an accident?
From there, why stop at one phone? Let’s put several phones in the back seat, including mine. Hell, let’s have a burner phone that I use only for driving that has a throw away account. Or let’s go back to old fashioned maps and GPS devices while our phones are turned off. Meanwhile, at home, I’ve spun up a virtual device where it is very peacefully driving a route. Perfectly. Then I have another virtual device that is driving a different route on the other side of the world driving erratically.
These companies are forgetting that the data from phones are data from devices, not people. If you’re going to spy on me, I’m going to make you fucking earn it.
- Comment on For free for 11.99$ 2 weeks ago:
On the one hand I completely understand and agree with businesses that do this. CC fees take a huge chunk out of your bottom line.
On the other hand, I’m less likely to go there a second time unless I really, really, really like your business.
For my barber, I will gladly pay in cash.
There’s a convenience store that charged me the 3% at check out. I left everything on the counter and went the extra mile or so and went to a normal grocery store.
- Comment on Study finds 1/4 of bosses hoped Return to Office would make staff quit 2 weeks ago:
The only reason I go in is for the free food. It’s pretty good. But I’d rather have my time commuting back.
- Comment on Employees Who Stay In Companies Longer Than Two Years Get Paid 50% Less 3 weeks ago:
Better question: what do you focus on?
- Comment on Corn: Last Week Tonight 3 weeks ago:
His episodes are often available on fmovies by Monday.
This was the main topic two weeks ago and it’s definitely on there.
- Comment on The Paradox of Blackmarket Wired Bluetooth Apple headphones. 4 weeks ago:
Idk…seems like the average apple user to me.
Trillion dollar company Apple is right and can do no wrong.
It’s all those other people who need to do better.

Death by snu snu.
- Comment on This automatic faucet that need the hands to be between the wall and the water to turn on. 4 weeks ago:
LPT: For faucets like this (or if you just want running water to wash something) get a paper towel. Wet it under the water and then put it over the sensor.
Toilet paper also works but it’s messier.
- Comment on Mushroom ID 5 weeks ago:
That’s cheating. Anything will taste great with butter and garlic.
- Comment on Conspiracies 5 weeks ago:
I can’t remember which comedian said this but he absolutely loves talking to flat earthers. Whenever they bring up the moon being too small, etc., he bursts out laughing and says, “You believe in the moon?!”
- Comment on I need to wake up early 1 month ago:
Why does it need to sync with your phone?
What’s the goal of connecting it?
As others have mentioned, I’d look for alarm clocks for deaf people. Many are in the $20 range but don’t do Bluetooth.
- Comment on Marvels Rivals requires creators to sign a contract that removes your right to give a negative review to access the playtest 1 month ago:
If it’s still in alpha, then a standard non disclosure should be fine.
A non-disparagement clause is overkill.
- Comment on blast me off, fam 1 month ago:
The image had me at 100 frosted. I didn’t care after that.
- Comment on What is the Anti Commercial-Al license and why do people keep adding it to their comments? 1 month ago:
The CC requires copyright holders to contact companies that violate the license and give them 30 days to remediate.
I highly doubt:
- people who put the CC-BY-NC license in their comment will troll AI bots to see if their specific comments are being used
- those same people can prove to the company that their comment was used
- the company will actually take them at their word and remove their comments from their training data
- even if all of the above are true, can afford an attorney let alone sustain that attorney through the case
- even if all of the above are true, prevail in a court of law
I think people adding the license is fine. It’s your comment. Do whatever. I don’t think it’s as harmful as sovereign citizens using their own license plate for “traveling”.
- Comment on Anyone else? 1 month ago:
The girl who tried to seduce Jim on The Office has said she gets a ton of hate IRL.
- Comment on Yep 1 month ago:
There was a porn video of a popular French girl saying “Oui” over and over again.
It sounded so funny that I couldn’t nut. Then I did.
- Comment on It's getting hot in here 1 month ago:
Lupus has entered the chat
- Comment on What are the best examples of a director going "all out" to get the best out of their actors? 1 month ago:
In some of the blu ray extras, the director of Up talked about how he coached the kid that plays Russel to get certain emotions out of him.
I don’t think it is as intense as the OPs examples. But it was kind of cool to see the behind the scenes.
- Comment on The University of Texas at Austin has 'delisted' this video so that it's harder to find. 2 months ago:
It’s not about arrests. It’s about sending a message.
- Comment on research 2 months ago:
It goes further than that.
Sargent says something along the lines of, “We can’t tell people about this result. They’ll kill us.”
The entire film sets up the premise that NASA is hiding research about a flat earth. They are guarding the ice wall so people don’t see it.
Then they hide research showing the earth is round.
These people don’t care about science. They care about power.
It’s no accident that conspiracy theorists and conservatives have a considerable overlap.
- Comment on Over 100 staff at Just Cause developers Avalanche have unionised 2 months ago:
Man I remember playing JC2 and absolutely loving it. The rampant destruction. The ability to fly, drive, just about anything. And guns…lots of guns.
I thought about getting JC3 but didn’t want to buy a new console (I think)…or I just didn’t have the time anymore.
- Comment on space 2 months ago:
A time machine, at its very very core, is a literary device. You wouldn’t bring up this nuance unless it was important to the plot of the story.
It’s like warp drives. The point of warp or any FTL travel is to skip the boring parts. You only learn about warp drives when something goes wrong.
