- Comment on Slay The Spire 2 Getting Review-Bombed Again After Latest Update 2 days ago:
The multiplayer turned out great for me. It ended up being a big draw. My wife and best friend plays, and we have played together.
- Comment on How come they don't make generic drugs for cats and dogs. I love my sisters buddy to death. Its just weird that all my meds are generic but animals are name brand. I just hate spend 250 every 3 mon. 5 days ago:
My pets have always used generic drugs.
- Comment on Is there a chance America one day will elect a Progressive? Or will we keep going the elder dipshit route? 6 days ago:
We just need to end the filibuster.
Americans need to feel the consequences of their votes and stop relying on gridlock to save them.
- Comment on Confirms to Marxist theories regarding the proletariat. 1 week ago:
People created art and music for no profit as far back as the records go. If there was no profit motive, people would still make porn. There wouldn’t be as much porn, but there would totally still be porn to be found.

Until the US military gets fried and the dollar collapses the rest of the world will care.
That day may not be far off, but it not here yet.

They will be fucked for exactly 2 election cycles. 2026 and 2028. 2030 will be a red wave year. Calling it now.
Voters have memories worse than goldfish. Dems will be a shoe for the white house in 28 but will be lucky to hold it in 32 unless something historically tragic in the scale 9-11 or COVID happens in 31.
- Comment on Why is 'Philippines' spelled with a PH, but 'Filipino' is spelled with an F? 1 week ago:
Philip is the English spelling of the name.

I assume Houston Street is named after a man that pronounced his name House-ton. Houston the city was named for Sam Houston, the first President of the Republic of Texas. He pronounced it Hews-ton, so that’s what we call it.

Solid logic
- Comment on He has become a felon 34 times over, impeached twice, is there anything else anyone can do to get Trump out of office besides a storming the gates? 5 weeks ago:
Fixing what trump has broken will be a generational project, and nobody will be given the time required.

We thought we couldn’t do worse than Bush, but here we are. I’m not holding my breath for the future. I’m expecting 4 years of someone not a total asswipe and then we elect mecha hitler or someone somehow worse.
- Comment on God bless the Midwest 1 month ago:
The northwest territories were north and west of the original thirteen colonies, more or less. They are not more north east of the country as a whole, because westward expansion continued.
- Comment on bold words 1 month ago:
If I know it’s me, “mine some Bitcoin” if I don’t necessarily know it’s me? “You transitioned… Me”
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 2 months ago:
Hard disagree. Their base will believe anything.
If we set up gas chambers in Florida some people would be insisting they were harmless showers while they were being forced into them.
- Comment on Would the United States actually risk a Tiananmen Square incident? 2 months ago:
Yep, there is no organization capable of staging armed opposition to the government. A series of mass shootings and maybe some explosives is all we are going to get.
Given the number of incidents, I wouldn’t be shocked if historians decide later we are already living through it. Political assasinations in Minnesota, the attempted murder of pelosi’s husband, attempted trump shooter, charkie Kirk, the car bomb in Memphis that didn’t go off a few years ago. The United Healthcare CEO hit. Attempted kidnapping of Gretchen Whitmer.
There is plenty of violence to go around, but nothing that would rise to civil war.
I have imagined a scenario where a debt crisis degrades the capacity of the federal government and polarization leaves citizens and national guard more loyal to their state than the federal government, but we are a long way away from that.
- Comment on Wokeness ended, check mate leftists 2 months ago:
Both. Definitely both. Our minds can experience two emotions at once.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE raids? If an ICE agent breaks in without a warrant or holds you at gunpoint, what do you do? 2 months ago:
That’s a calculation each of us has to make personally. If you are white, a citizen, have people that rely on you, and are wealthy enough that they can fight a legal battle for you, maybe don’t resist and hope for the best. If you are none of those, and you think you might get sent to a concentration camp or Africa, maybe defend yourself as best you can.
Good luck to everyone.
- Comment on Anon thinks about wheat 3 months ago:
Wheat is a bit of a weed so it’s grown on more marginal land while more profitable (finicky) plants are grown in the better land.
This weirdly makes wheat more vulnerable to climate change.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 months ago:
World leaders are doing things. Europe has committed large sums of money to building out their defense industries, China has been building out it’s military capabilities for decades, Canada has used tarrifs to strategically punish the US for it’s tarrifs on Canadian goods and joined the European defense partnership, presumably to gain access to the aforementioned defense industry build out in Europe. Japan is increasing it’s military spending and moving to amend it’s constitution to remove the restrictions on military force.
Sanctions against the US like those on Iran are possible, but for a country as large and wealthy as the US with such a diversified economy, even if the entire world sanctioned the US it would plunge them into desperate poverty.
It would wreck the US economy, no doubt, but most world leaders are not willing to even suggest their people should endure that level of hardship over Nicolas Maduro. And the US would still have most of the world ability to project military power, so driving us into a corner like that would be incredibly dangerous.
Make no mistake, every world leader and especially every head of state in Latin America is considering the chance that delta Force could pull them out of bed at 3 AM, I imagine Sheinbaum in Mexico, Lula in Brazil, have a few new grey hairs and especially Cubas head of state is sweating bullets. They don’t have the power to prevent it.
I am personally reviewing my options for how to protest this action.
- Comment on I am so scared of nuclear war, how do I cope with it? 3 months ago:
Yeah, Israel was able to launch a shit ton of Missiles into Iran, and some of the Iranian Missiles hit Israel, even through the Iron dome, the tightest missile defense system in the world.
- Comment on I am definitely a bird me personally 3 months ago:
This is the real reason. They want us confined to basements, closets, or graves.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 3 months ago:
Credit scores should not matter to housing.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 3 months ago:
Housing should be free. If you want something nicer then you can pay for luxury.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 3 months ago:
Then borrowing money is something you should, in fact, consider carefully.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 3 months ago:
Paying other people money on a predictable schedule raises your score.
Did what I do, pay your bills and don’t think about it.

My employer had fheir last Christmas party the year I started working there in November. I wasn’t comfortable going to a company party 3 weeks in still in training. Little did I know I would never have another chance.
