- Comment on EBay used to be a wild place 1 week ago:
It was also known for people buying IPHONE ~boxes~.
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 3 weeks ago:
Sounds like your basing this on a new tech vs. old tech? Not looking at safety rates?
You can achieve airspeed at 35 mph in a small enough craft. A propeller plane is simply slower. Airplanes as a whole are extremely safe.
- Comment on “It’s impossible to live in California on these wages”: Healthcare workers on 5-day strike at West Anaheim Medical Center 3 weeks ago:
It’s infuriating that medical care costs so much and yet the employees are broke.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Are we only comparing the best of the best in each? Because both can be great in their best form.
But if I had to pick one and lose the other, for the good of society, I can’t imagine the videos are helping more than the written word is helping.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
Videos can be misleading, unhelpful, and fail to paint the whole picture. Look no further than the society we live in today, where loads of fake videos get pumped out and then we need written articles to explain all the things wrong with the video.
Obviously fake info can be written down too, but we have a much bigger problem with fake videos.

You’ll be at work, walking opposite direction as a co-worker who you are seeing for the first time that day. You can’t stop to talk, so you only have time for a 1-3 word answer max.
- Comment on Unconditional support 4 weeks ago:
My parents don’t tell me I’m living wrong, but it seems to be the basis of every religion someone tries to sell me.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 5 weeks ago:
Because the app seems to think “ad free” can include ads as long as they carry a “skip” button. Which are still ads.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 5 weeks ago:
Yeah ad blockers are great for that. I know from experience Peacock with ads will all be blocked if you have an ad blocker. But that only works on my computer not my Roku.
- Comment on Netflix puts AI ads in paid tier: pirate EVERYTHING at this point... 🏴☠️🏴☠️🏴☠️ 14:55 5 weeks ago:
It clearly says it’s on the paid tier only?
Not that I care much one way or the other. I’m still frustrated with HBO Max selling me “ad free” and then putting a skippable ad at the start of every video. It’s not ad free if there’s a “skippable” ad!

Wow you’re what a meme would have looked like in the 80’s.
- Comment on "You should probably just throw it away" 3 months ago:
Shows how untrustworthy the big companies are these days. We’re in JD Rockerfeller era Pt. 2.

So probably phishing attempt that OP thinks is actually from Windows?
- Comment on "You should probably just throw it away" 3 months ago:
Where are you seeing this? Doesn’t seem like a typical Windows prompt.

Seriously. Fuck lawns. They’re so dumb.
- Comment on Roku TV requires internet connection to EDIT THE HOMEPAGE 3 months ago:
Somewhere in the settings you can have it boot to HDMI1 and you can skip that whole stuff.
- Comment on Unsubscribe 3 months ago:
I don’t think they mean they’re spending $250. Like they feel the need to earn $250 every working day, otherwise they can’t pay rent or whatever. Equates to an income of $65k.
- Comment on The price breakdown of my flight is kinda funny, 80% taxes and fees 4 months ago:
Most businesses to chase the whale customers.
- Comment on The price breakdown of my flight is kinda funny, 80% taxes and fees 4 months ago:
It would make more sense in the opposite order. The first tab with that headline breaks them down. Just under half of the total ticket price is a non-refundable ‘carrier interface charge.’

Yes, though it wasn’t a surprising result.

The AI is definitely going with the favorite.
