- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 days ago:
Yes, thw differences are night and day. Every time I want to watch one of the few movies I own on Blu-ray, I turn my old PS4 on and remember how shitty a controller is for media playback and I download the movie and watch it on my Raspberry Pi with Kodi and a proper media remote.
So again: if I just want to watch Netflix, why should I add a console that has no advantages, but uses more power and forces me to use a controller that is nice for many games but shit for watching movies?
- Comment on Is it possible to install my own OS on a "smart" TV? Is that a thing? 5 days ago:
Your smart TV is a computer of some sorts. You can do shit like watching Netflix with it. If that is all you want to do, why should you use another device with it, that brings no benefits but uses more power?
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 2 weeks ago:
You are citing one subject here, Palestine. Yes, maybe under Harris nothing would have been different in regards to this. But it is pretty obvious, that under the orange shitstain’s regime, many people all over the world will suffer a lot. The point in participating in this election was to prevent that. You didn’t vote the special representativefor Palestine or some shit, but the president of the most influencial country in the world. Your actions have consequences. All Americans who voted for Trump or did not participate fucked not only themselves, but also so many millions of other people over, so I really thing, they should go fuck themselves.

So you know that really neat trick, where you don’t buy the newest games and you can get most of them for a few bucks?
- Comment on How come people who are against abortion are in favor of the death penalty? Kind of seems like a contradicition/ 4 weeks ago:
A (human) mother that carries a growing fetus is a living being a pig, dog or a cow as well. They feel physically and emotionally and can be hurt.
A fetus is, up to a certain point, just a slab of meat.
As a vegan I don’t care about slabs of meat, I care about living beings.

No wonder Ashley died with Jesus’ cum in her heart. What a sicko, that guy.

- Comment on Legacy of Kain Soul Reaver 1 & 2 Remastered announced for PS4 and PS5 – WGB 1 month ago:
Don’t worry, the Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver remasters are also coming to PC
I played the original for a few hours when it was still fresh, but lost interest. Maybe with better controls …
- Comment on I like reading them 1 month ago:
Two things:
- This is pretty funny
- Why is it censored? Are the platforms doing that or the creators themselves, because they fear (rightfully), the post will be deleted/demonetarized/delisted or whatever? Fuck that!
- Comment on PS5 being used by scammers because it's so expensive 2 months ago:
Why? In the past, consoles where their own, distinct thing. Nowadays, they are just locked-down PCs.
- Comment on Horizon Zero Dawn Remastered confirmed by ESRB rating 2 months ago:
After the tutorial area the game opens up and becomes really great. A bit like with The Last of Us which had some really bad first hours.
- Comment on stop 2 months ago:
Sure, but maybe they would, if you instead of liking ate their body parts and would pay an industry to kill them for that purpose? We can only speculate.

Ducky One 3 TKL + Logitech G305 or the 8BitDo Pro 2, depending on the genre.

Oh man, wanted to play AW2 someday. I didn’t know it was only on Epic. Fuck those guys.
- Comment on Happy Birthday 2 months ago:
A small correction and „fun fact“: there is no year zero. 1 BC is followed by 1 AD. Consequently things like the turn of the millennium happen a year after we celebrate them. But people found that weird.
- Comment on Bumble 2 months ago:
Sure. And the Rothschilds were never never ever a synonym for „the Jews“ that is used by anti-semites to sell you the old fucking story that jewish people secretly control the world with their amassed money and influence. 🙄

He, funny. Why the anti-semitism, tough?
- Comment on Chrome will block one of its biggest ad blockers 3 months ago:
Meh, Brave is still Chroium. Even if they continue to support manifest v2, even today the are selling „good“ ads to the users. That and the Crypto bullshit they tried a while ago makes them untrustworthy in my eyes.
Firefox is the only real alternative.
- Comment on Is there any real physical proof that Jesus christ ever existed? 4 months ago:
That doesn’t work. Either there is physical proof or there is none. Afaik the latter is correct.
- Comment on Objectivity 4 months ago:
If you really think that the core of capitalism is what you described, you have no clue what you are talking about. Funny, that you ended that by calling other peoples claims stupid.
- Comment on Objectivity 4 months ago:
We seem to be talking about different things here: science and the scientific method. Science is a process involving many different institutions and individuals with their personal worldviews, problems and interests. The state of the scientific method is a whole other discussion, I am not able to lead.
- Comment on Objectivity 4 months ago:
The process of science is not corrupted but deeply flawed. It is like that, because we as a species are as well. Science is the best method we have to create secured knowledge, but it is far from perfect. Things like predatory journals, lazy to non existing peer reviews in established publications, reports about scientists who are under pressure to create positive results even if their research had none of those etc. show us that .
Capitalism plays a big part in this problem. To plainly reject that is simply naive.

That is lovely. Ticks are far worse then wasps. Thanks for the info.
Can’t they also start to annoy ticks and fly around their faces?
- Comment on non vegan pizza time 5 months ago:
Interesting. I was a triggered vegetarian and didn’t like those guys calling me a cheese breather (I’m still ambivalent towards them). When I became a vegan it was because of the non-drastic stating a fact people, not because of the jerks.
So maybe we need both – and many more forms of activism?
- Comment on non vegan pizza time 5 months ago:
Look at it like that: Many people become vegan because they realize that there is no magical difference between humans (or dogs, cats and so on) and the animals who are raised to be slaughtered. We all feel pain, fear and grief. So a society that kills sentient animals and eats or wears parts of their dead bodies is not too different then one which does that with their fellow humans. How angry would you be to live in such a horrible society?
The only reason to not being angry all the time is, that I needed more than 30 years to realize those things myself. How we are handling most animals, how we are torturing and killing them is normalized. It is really hard to get from “steak yummy” to a vegan world view. How can I expect that other people change their ways just like that?
It is still fucking sad and I totally get, why some vegans are so angry. Live and let live is the most cynical shit one could say in this situation.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
The problem is: most times it works the other way. You are at a barbeque and bring your own stuff. There are always people who feel obliged to talk shit about you – or worse, cannot shut up about their own meat consumption, how they only buy the „good“ meat and only seldom, but how hard it would be without cheese and so on.
Yeah, there are some preaching vegans, but those few are not the reason why some people are hating on us.
