you’ll never find all the bombs before they go off without me.
- Comment on Going back in time to see how the fishes and loaves trick was done 6 days ago:
I hate AI about as much as you do, but this pic is scratching an itch I’ve had for forty-ish years.
- Comment on How is it possible that some people have stayed awake for so long they died? 6 days ago:
I’ve been awake so long I gave myself a heart condition.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 6 days ago:
I was a poor farm kid and winters were long.
I was still playing our Atari 2600 when the PS2 launched.
- Comment on Players Have Too Many Options to Spend $80 on a Video Game 6 days ago:
yes, because the real problem is too much choice.
fuckin finbro bullshit.
I remember paying $10 for an Atari game. I know it’s not a great comparison, but I got hundreds if not thousands of hours of gameplay out of Qbert. Can any of the leading games in the last decade do that?
It’s funny I mention Atari. They had so many games to play. the choices you had were bonkers. best part was you could take your carts to a friends house and trade or share.
can’t do that today since most games are digital downloads that need 32gb day-0 updates.
perhaps the problem isn’t the gamers, but instead it’s the greedy corporate interests that are poisoning the game industry requesting $80 single owner games.
- Comment on Spotify 30 minutes of uninterrupted... Just kidding 1 week ago:
I used Spotify once years ago. wanted to listen to the Beatles or Bowie or something.
first song was good. then they started playing Sinatra, then Katy Perry, then someone else.
I removed it just because if I told you to play “X” you play “X”.
so glad I still have my 500gb collection of mp3s.
- Comment on Pope 1 week ago:
IDK why everyone is shitting on Katy Perry and frankly, I feel vindicated for shitting on her since I knew she was a cunt.
- Comment on When society completely transitions to cash-less, what happens when the power goes down? End of the world? 1 week ago:
fun fact, businesses operate without power by using battery operated calculators and inventory pads.
every minute a business isn’t in operation is a cost to the business.
I worked at Super Walmart decades ago. power went out for the whole town. the main HV lines collapsed after a tornado.
mgmt marked all the ice cream down 80% and we were still checking customers out on generators.
reduce risk, increase profits, mitigate losses. the only bad opportunity is the one you ignore.
by god we sold almost every tub of ice cream in an hour.
- Comment on FANTER 1 week ago:
good point, I was kind of hoping for a Quantum Leap thing though.
just a near-endless cycle of saving peoples lives.
- Comment on FANTER 1 week ago:
Sometimes I fantasize about using a time machine to top normal people from dying.
go back and stop Elisa Lam, or stop some random person from getting killed in a dark alley, or talk to someone just long enough to stop them from causing a multi-fatality accident.

Pearson directly, not globally.

AIX (Unix) Windows, Powervm?
- Comment on A completely useful compulsion I have. 1 week ago:
now kick your egg balancing autism into high gear to start balancing electrons on atoms to discover new elements.
or balance the number of molecules to create a new type of crystal that cures cancer.
or…you get the picture.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 1 week ago:
they aren’t all. vast majority is Windows Server and IBM.
- Comment on Pearson complaining about using Linux to access my course material 1 week ago:
I had this problem over 10 years ago. change your user-agent, problem solved.
they do it because they are regulations for educational software that must be met, like specific access requirements in order to be used in accredited courses.
it’s not anything specifically against Linux, it’s that they can’t test and validate those access requirements for anything outside Windows due to organizational limitations.
source: I worked for colleges early in my career that used Pearson then worked for a vendor that managed infrastructure and project management for Pearson. they aren’t unique, their competition is just as fucked as they are. most still use waterfall because upper mgmt is old and refuses to adapt.
- Comment on If I snapped you back in time 650 years right this very second, how would you use your current knowledge to succeed? 2 weeks ago:
- establish a new culture in the Americas that will unify and kill European settlers on sight.
- teach the native Americans about the future they’re preventing
- teach them European science, politics, history, economics, etc
- give them a technological advantage that will set them ahead of Europe by 650 years by teaching them manufacturing skills.
basically, I want to destroy white colonialism. we have a toxic culture that honestly doesn’t deserve to exist on a planet it wants to destroy.
I’m also curious to see how North America would turn out after 650 years have passed after I have achieved my goals.

it’s not a crime to fuck a couch. there’s no guilt to be found.
it’s a fact.
he’s never provided evidence that he stopped fucking couches.
- Comment on At last we know all his answers 2 weeks ago:
…as far as we know.
He hasn’t provided any evidence to the contrary, so technically he still fucks couches.

I mean, he’s not wrong. it is something within their power to control, and only they can stop the cycle.
addiction is a hell of a drug though.
companies that prey on the vulnerabilities of humans like that should be regulated no different than drug, alcohol, or firearm companies.
