Mind the shavings
- Comment on We need a new Amazon 4 days ago:
I think he was hoping for something better than Amazon, as opposed to worse.
- Comment on Black Myth: Wukong producer on The Game Awards top prize snub: "I came all the way here for nothing!" 5 days ago:
The comment you responded to covered all that. It’s possible it’s a translation/tone error. No reason to assume face value given the stakes.
If that ends up being not the case, then ok.
- Comment on And there was no on line manual 1 week ago:
This is the dumbest thing I’ve seen…well I was gonna say all day, but I just read about florida sex ed not teaching sex ed and there are levels.
- Comment on Interesting. It's a constant reminder 1 week ago:
“Don’t you dare do anything I say”
- Comment on Funko, BrandShield speak out about itch.io takedown 1 week ago:
We need to compile a list of shitty executives for boycotting purposes. No more “this company did a bad thing”. No. We need exactly this, with “this is David Davidson, who led the enshittification of ABC, Inc”
It needs to be a document, a wiki, of exactly the shitty things those people did so that businesses will have monetary reasons to want to avoid shitty executives.
Let’s help those poor, poor companies from being victimized by those awful greedy people. The poor things.
- Comment on As a human, here is my human take on unions 1 week ago:
I hate paying 10 dollars to get 25 dollars. The worst.
- Comment on Should we create a new political party in the US, specifically for shitting on the rich? 1 week ago:
First past the post is what you’re tangling with.
It makes it so third parties only hurt their closest friend and lose to their least favorite party. Taking that energy into the democratic party itself is probably the best bet. Not good, but best.
In ranked choice, yes a new party would probably be best.
- Comment on Bumper sticker 2 weeks ago:
It’s fine to post a meme without following your orders. Jesus Christ.
- Comment on SAVE THE BEES 2 weeks ago:
I don’t actually know if this is true, so somebody jump in if I’m wrong, but the answer is, because it doesn’t actually help, and may even make the underlying problem worse.
Trends don’t always operate with the level of nuance needed to be an actual solution, but the problem still requires what it requires to be solved, whether or not somebody’s heart is in the right place.
- Comment on Well THAT fucking sucks! 🤬 4 weeks ago:
People would, in general, really love to pay a reasonable subscription to youtube that gets fairly distributed to the video creators they watch the most.
So if there’s ever a way to do that, they’ll probably use it.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
Out of the two and only two choices Americans had (thanks, first past the post), she was overwhelmingly and objectively the best.
But yes she was weak on Palestine and that was bad. Ranked choice for actual third parties, please.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 4 weeks ago:
It’s like not commenting, but with more effort.
- Comment on Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool. 4 weeks ago:
Nazis do this dumb thing where they go “hey that small and therefore relatively defenseless group (badassness of individuals aside) is the cause of all our problems, let’s kill them to solve everything!”
Surprisingly, it never works.
So they do it again with somebody else, and somebody else, and somebody else, until everybody on earth is killed by nazis or somebody stops them.
As for why anybody is dumb enough to fall for it in the first place…it’s anybody’s guess.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
This of the core of the problem. Github energy.
Fine for a hobby. Not good enough for a public-facing product.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
It’s owned by facebook, it’s irrelevant.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
It will, but it still has that countdown timer over its head.
The future is the fediverse, some yet-to-be-invented non-corporate equivalent, or offline.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
The actual center, which never moves even as extremists come and go, would be a little to the right of Elizabeth Warren, though not by much.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 weeks ago:
If the internet has a future, it’s on the Fediverse. We work around capitalism to avoid enshittification, or we let it defer our future further.
In the meantime, the Fediverse needs to get shiny and intuitive. The sign that something is cumbersome and hard to use is people saying “it’s not that bad”.
- Comment on Weekends were a mistake says Infosys co-founder Murthy 4 weeks ago:
They were a mistake.
Take the week off, work for two days on the weekends.
- Comment on Million dollar idea 5 weeks ago:
Stop censoring fucking like a cunty assdick shitbitch, please and thank you.
- Comment on RIP 5 weeks ago:
New is the old new ❤️
- Comment on USA President term limits 5 weeks ago:
He gets two terms, whether they’re split up or not. This is his last term by law.
He’s probably just going to stay anyway, because Republicans have managed to infect government with the kinds of losers who would back something like that.
- Comment on Bowser Defeats Princess Peach in Mushroom Kingdom Election 5 weeks ago:
No.
Bowser is cool and fun.
Does not apply.
- Comment on Iraq to lower age of consent for girls to just 9 years old and allow men to marry young kids: ‘This law legalizes child rape’ 5 weeks ago:
Republicans better catch up, Project 2025 is falling behind.
- Comment on This might blow up in our face 5 weeks ago:
We could have been so much better.
- Comment on I'm surprised it hasn't been taken down yet ...well maybe not that surprised 5 weeks ago:
he could not, in fact, summarize it
- Comment on So this is how liberty dies... 1 month ago:
Wrong energy. Both.
Nazis want to be darth vader. Calling their actions appalling makes them feel like that. Calling them the little baby bitches that they are, and pointing out that fuming and threatening violence in response is exactly what a little baby bitch would do, destroys their cardboard badass theater.
Hell, even Anakin Skywalker–literally Darth Vader–was a whiny little bitch in the prequels! That’s who they are, and people who mention it help everybody see what they’re really dealing with.
Look at the man behind the curtain, folks.
- Comment on Are there opposing institutions to things like the Heritage Foundation? Are there liberal policy think-tanks? 1 month ago:
George Lakoff is practically a one-man think tank
- Comment on Metaphor: ReFantazio's success is further proof that politics are good in videogames, actually—no matter what reactionaries tell you 1 month ago:
This made my dick black and gay and now it lives in Palo Alto.
