- Comment on Why dont we say "WWW" in front of website URLs anymore? 1 week ago:
Old people still do. And they also mention capital letters in their email as if capitalization does anything.
- Comment on A Doctor Sued 700 Patients for Debts; 81 Were Arrested. Now He’s a Senator. 1 month ago:
Arrested. The crime? Under 5k of debt? Why are officers wasting their time on this?

They also taught a lion to eat bugs.
- Comment on The prices of these NFL games…nope. 1 month ago:
Private equity has ruined nearly all sports. The only solution is to go see the lowest levels of the sport, before this sort of insane money has entered the conversation.
- Comment on Buying new electrical outlet, and the grounding are just a decoration 1 month ago:
Are you suggesting that a 2 prong power strip/extension cord would be illegal? Because they definitely sell those.
- Comment on Buying new electrical outlet, and the grounding are just a decoration 1 month ago:
If you take them apart like OP, I wonder if they are really grounded.
- Comment on Buying new electrical outlet, and the grounding are just a decoration 1 month ago:
That’s not generally how they are sold. A power strip looks like this. A surge protector is grounded.
- Comment on Buying new electrical outlet, and the grounding are just a decoration 1 month ago:
It’s a power strip not a surge protector.

If the world will collapse in under 12 months, you should go spend all your money right now while it’s still worth something.

- Comment on Is it paranoid to think that the midterms are already fixed for the republicans? And the Dems are just walking into a shooting gallery? 1 month ago:
Yes. Don’t let pessimism stop you from voting.
Fingers are already on the scale in tons of ways, like gerrymandering. But they can’t gerrymander away a massive victory.

- Comment on Small apartment? No problem just maximize space 2 months ago:
Think of the efficiency. You can microwave your hot pockets while on the toilet. No reason to ever get up.
- Comment on one step closer to 100%'ing life!! 2 months ago:
The amount of money spent is the deciding factor. If it was like $10, people waste money all the time. If it was more? Gets stupider by the dollar.
- Comment on Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth 2 months ago:
Just ask people want they want to be called? There’s no list that’s going to be perfect in every situation.

What the cops in NYC do is they wedge a leaf in the plate frame, so there’s always a leaf partially blocking 1 letter.
- Comment on Would hammering websites on black Friday actually cost companies money? 2 months ago:
You’re suggesting the “reddit hug of death” as a weapon. It would have to be something much smaller. Certainly not Amazon, who runs their own web services.

Saw someone the other day describe Portland as 'full of whimsical anarchists" or something.
- Comment on law enforcement partners 2 months ago:
Still, they’re having to call the police so frequently that this parking space made sense to someone. Maybe there’s something about their store that needs to change. If a strip club was having to call the police every single day, they’d probably shut the place down.
- Comment on Baby with heart defect carried by surrogate must receive treatment, Texas court rules, after intended parents request abortion 2 months ago:
Wild story.
- Comment on law enforcement partners 2 months ago:
“Our business has SO MUCH CRIME INSIDE that the police have special parking” is not a message that makes me want to come inside.
- Comment on How come when paying cash for gas, it is not like a coke machine where you can insert your money? And when it hits that limit it clicks off? 2 months ago:
Maybe by forcing you to go inside you’re more likely to purchase something? Or maybe it’s about the potential for crime? They would effectively become ATMs with less security.
- Comment on Is ICE still doing the so-called "immigrant" hardass stance and in the states we don't hear about because "bigger" stories? Kind of like the Nazi's did against Germans about the Jews? 2 months ago:
Yes. They’re still building more “detention centers” and still rounding people up.
- Comment on Is there a point to the Straight Of Hormuz? What is the difference between the Iranians having it than the US? What does it mean for the average joe in either country? 2 months ago:
IDK if there’s a point.
The Trump admin is going wild with imperialism. They did a coup in Venezuela. It went surprisingly well. Negotiations with Iran weren’t going well (over the nuclear stuff), so Trump decide to try that coup thing again. Killed the leader of Iran. With no actual plan for how that was going to go afterward. Now the dead leader’s son is in charge. He’s pissed at the USA. The main/only leverage Iran has is on the Strait of Hormuz. So now that the USA killed their leader, they’re using that leverage. Which is driving up the price of oil and hurting everyone, including the USA.
If the Iranians didn’t have control of the strait anymore, that would probably mean that the regime has fallen.
- Comment on WWE wants to trademark the term 'Vice City'. 2 months ago:
World Wildlife Fund successfully got WWF to switch to WWE. Now they have to blur out their own logo on old matches. It’s quite bizarre.
- Comment on WWE wants to trademark the term 'Vice City'. 2 months ago:
I assume it’s a new tag team, or something along those lines. This makes it so a rival promoter can’t use the same name for a different tag team, or sell competing merchandise. That sort of thing. Someone could still open “Vice City Coffee Co.” and sell shirts and it wouldn’t be directly competing with them at all.
- Comment on WWE wants to trademark the term 'Vice City'. 2 months ago:
It’s only within the context of professional wrestling. Verizon has a trademark on the color red, but it’s only within the context of cell phones.
- Comment on Supergirl 2026 storyline 2 months ago:
Yeah that’s pretty nonsense though. Superman can literally die for days/weeks and come back to life with the sun’s power. Krypto should be able to also.
- Comment on Supergirl 2026 storyline 2 months ago:
Yes! That was plot hole that frustrated me early on.
