Oh well. Shouldn’t have made home ownership impossible for the next generation.
- Comment on VC behind ‘996’ work culture debate says 5-day weeks won't build billion-dollar startups 2 days ago:
Well not everything needs to be worth a billion. Certainly no person should ever be that rich.
People with insatiable greed have a mental disorder. They cannot even conceptualize the idea of working a reasonable amount, and being happy with a modest profit.
Maybe we should stop letting the most sociopathic & insatiable people set standards that can never be satisfied.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 1 week ago:
The end goal of all of that is to sell software. If they can do that without supporting a massive pipeline for selling custom hardware, that makes sense.
- Comment on 'Xbox Hardware Is Dead,' Says Founding Team Member, 'It Looks Like Xbox Has No Desire — Or Literally Can't — Ship Hardware Anymore' - IGN 1 week ago:
Why should they be focused on it? Xbox is now just a slimmed down Windows pc. You can play the exact same games on a pc, with access to the same storefront.
What’s the problem exactly?
- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 2 weeks ago:
Human productivity alone warranted a 4-day workweek. With AI benefits added in, we should be going down to 3.

‘Disobedience is what they want! We must obey, or they win!!’
- Comment on No Kings Protest, USA, 2025 3 weeks ago:
This many people could easily just physically remove the criminals from office. Why gather this many people to just stand around for complaining? You’re already there. Just fix the problem.
- Comment on Make it stop 3 weeks ago:
So you’re a technocrat fascist who opposes democracy.
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 5 weeks ago:
Sure, I’m making some assumptions based on patterns I’ve seen.
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 5 weeks ago:
Well when these things get posted, you’ll see an unnatural flood of downvotes & angry comments come in. Definitely seems like some kind of coordinated brigading. Or could just be one asshole with a bot farm.
- Comment on Why do some people say "I wouldn't want a government to dictate what I eat"? This would mean they'd be against food safety regulations, would it not? 5 weeks ago:
I really don’t get it. There’s definitely a group of ideologues that are pushing anti-meat on here, and flood any post on the topic. Something like that either needs funding or volunteers coordinating. I’m guessing either extremist anti-meat groups, or big ag astroturfers trying to make them look bad.
- Comment on Brazil sues China carmaker BYD over 'slave-like' conditions 5 weeks ago:
Seizing a worker’s passport should be an automatic life sentence. And it’s not just a problem with these big companies. Tons of wealthy individuals in the US do this with their immigrant workers.
- Comment on The Democrats’ One and Only Union-Busting Governor: Jared Polis 1 month ago:
“One and only” my ass. Every single Democrat governor will send in strike breakers just as quickly as any gop governor. Both parties serve capital.
- Comment on Anon describes past 1 month ago:
They left out ‘be white.’ It was a horrific time for anyone else.
- Comment on Bingo 2 months ago:
Yes, the people are supposed to hold politicians accountable. This attitude of ‘I don’t want to have to pay attention to politics’ from liberals is fucking wild. This is exactly why they don’t know the Dems were supporting most of the same Trump policies, but quietly.
Just go back to brunch.
- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 2 months ago:
Sounds a little unhinged dude.
- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 2 months ago:
It’s not hard. Just state facts that are kept off the news, and they’ll come rolling in.
- Comment on A bit of salt makes it taste more savory 2 months ago:
If you haven’t been called a “Russian bot,” you’re not really challenging western imperialism yet.
- Comment on Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it? 2 months ago:
Good call. They couldn’t have been enforcing. Amnesia had a sanity meter, and it came out in 2010.
- Comment on Zuckerberg had a 'crazy idea' to boost Facebook's relevance: Make everyone start from scratch 2 months ago:
That would be a quick way to clean house of all the users who are stuck out of habit or lock-in. What a dumb idea.
- Comment on Eternal Darkness' infamous sanity system patent has expired - so can anyone now copy it? 2 months ago:
I don’t understand how they successfully patented this without challenge. Call of Cthulhu has a sanity system, and it came out in the 80’s.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 months ago:
Guess you haven’t been keeping up with the new document releases. Or you’re a hasbara bot.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 months ago:
I don’t believe he’s a billionaire. I think that’s why he refused to release his tax returns, because it would reveal he’s wildly unsuccessful and destroy his billionaire image.
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 2 months ago:
Many of us have been doing this from the beginning, but it represents a fundamental misunderstanding of how gacha games work.
Most people do not pump loads of money into these. Many don’t pay anything at all. But those people are not the audience. These companies are going after the whales. Basically gambling addicts who will destroy their entire lives to pump everything they have into it.
Which is exactly why these games either need to be illegal, or the law needs to put caps on how much individuals are permitted to spend on these.
- Comment on I had no idea y cunt was this powerful 2 months ago:
It’s true. Effeminate dudes are getting more pussy. Been trying to tell people for decades.
- Comment on How likely is it that Trump will be the first President assassinated since Kennedy? 2 months ago:
Well, it’s pretty likely that Kennedy was assassinated by Israel. And Trump is infinitely loyal to Israel. So if it happens, it won’t be in the same way.
But if people really want to make the world a better place, they’ll start with the billionaires who are pulling the strings.

Does this sound like a man who had all he could eat?!
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 2 months ago:
We still pay for subsidies. Those don’t come out of thin air. Better to nationalize, and much more efficient.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 2 months ago:
Neither do. Import bans and nationalization do.
- Comment on How can you oppose tariffs, while supporting a hardline against China on Taiwan? 2 months ago:
We’re not talking about zero trade. We’re talking about nationalizing industries that are critical for economic or national security. There are plenty of countries who have done that, and the neoliberal west tends to retaliate against them for it.
