Same energy.

Sorry. Going to have to ask her to politely leave.
No God no kings (or queens).

I have one! It goes from 2 ppl to 6 people by extending. Found it while thrifting.
- Comment on Mom with the real questions 6 days ago:
My wife’s grandma offloaded her fancy china on us. When we brought it to Goodwill, they went “Parents or Grandparents?” And they told me this is like their tenth donation this week.

- Comment on Another social event, another ultragigagigantic mistake. 1 week ago:
We played Jackbox and a gen Z guy did the trifecta - homophobic pedo rape joke.
It was so uncomfortable that he chose to quit two weeks later.
- Comment on Day 533 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 1 week ago:
Today’s game is Subnautica. After hearing the news about Krafton i was really disappointed. This was a big game to me when i was younger, and i’ve kind of been trying to figure out how to play this without budging on my morals. The answer seems kind of obvious, but it was hard to pull off for me for some reason.
I haven’t kept up with the news. What’s the issue?
- Comment on What is the difference between an American liberal and a liberal outside the USA? 1 week ago:
For clarity: The Democratic party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered right wing in much of the world. The conservative party in the US, based on their talking points, is considered far right wing in much of the world.
In the US: We have “actual” left wing politicians, who frequently are shouted down and forced to align themselves with Democrats to get any sort of movement.
The two party system works to keep those two teams going.
- Comment on How much money should one person realistically make or have? 2 weeks ago:
This is a difficult question because we don’t have an agreed upon baseline of what “living” looks like worldwide.
Some countries may say, “living a long life.” Other countries may say, “And a roof over your head.” And Other countries may say, “That and a yearly vacation.”
Also, it’s sad to say that million dollars isn’t even “dick around” money anymore. My wife’s retired grandparents retired on a million at age 70. They’re living okay, very modestly at age 90. Medicine is fucking expensive, hip surgeries, paying for physical therapy, etc. No brand new cars or fancy trips. Just coupon clipping and finding lunch deals.
- Comment on "But why? You can just do that with a <big tech company> account." 2 weeks ago:
Someone complaining about ads? Welp, better explain pihole and then slowly go into a rabbit hole of degoogling. Getting off of Microsoft and apple, moving your data out of corpo hands etc.
- Comment on Do Costcos usually have an ATM machine? 2 weeks ago:
I have five of them near me and yeah.
I also just searched and found out that apparently there’s Bitcoin ATMs as well? Can’t say I’ve seen them.
- Comment on Been a long time since I smoked but if I opened the door to my fireplace and tossed in a kilo of pot and just let the smoke fill up the house will everyone in my house get high? 2 weeks ago:
Well damn.
2.2 lbs (1kg) can cost roughly $1,500 - $6,000.

I recall seeing signs of an ounce being sold as low as $40, (making it $640 a lb) which is probably terrible quality.
If the question is: “I am trying to make everyone in my household hallucinate, whats the cheapest thing I can do?”, now we’re having fun.

- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 2 weeks ago:
A few pieces of history here
- The credit system didn’t exist until around 1989.
- Back then, your “trustworthiness” was vague. So if you were black in America walking into a bank, they can easily reject you. And they’d pass this information around like “So-and-so was rejected because
he was blackwe at the Ku Klux bank believe he is untrustworthy” so now banks all over the US has that information and will auto reject you. - In 1970s, they push laws to deny credit based on gender, religion, race. You know, because women couldn’t have bank accounts.
So, the credit system fixed a few problems.
Now, there’s a few other issues. Credit score + education + zip code easily tells people more about you. Lots of data loopholes.
Im disgusted by the credit score system for the points you laid out. And it’s a imperfect system that did solve some big problems.

Here you go my good sir, and keep up the fight.
- Comment on True of mine but he more than made up for it 2 weeks ago:
I feel like people assume parenting is everyone is doing everything.
As a dad, I cook and clean. I wash dishes. I organize.
My wife wash clothes, fixes things around the house, and shops for goods.
So yeah, she buys all the presents, because she loves doing it. I’m making Christmas breakfast and dinner, because that’s my thing. We can do both.
- Comment on True of mine but he more than made up for it 2 weeks ago:
No offense taken, as a dad.
My wife LOVES shopping for the kids and finding deals. I love helping the kids figure out what they want, and translating it to my wife.
It’s a partnership.

I mean DOGE hired dozens of high school and college students running amok with AI in critical systems. It was a pretty coordinated attempt at culling professionals.

This is a really important part of the CIA guide to sabotaging Fascism. www.cia.gov/static/…/SimpleSabotage.pdf
Don’t encourage good people to quit.

I’m laughing at the idea!

Yeah, in don’t think many of us touched a Phone Bo. They’re impossible to find after we started making bo staffs out of better material like wood.
- Comment on ‘Baldur’s Gate 3’ Maker Promises ‘Divinity’ Will Be ‘Next Level’ 3 weeks ago:
All these promises can quickly spiral into the No Man Sky/Cyberpunk issue where on release, it’s a shell of what peoples expectations were.
You might say, “Well they fixed it.” But only after running their staff ragged to meet broken promises.

- Comment on Chop 💥 Chop 3 weeks ago:
Having a private fleet of building-size yachts wasn’t to kill the ecosystem. But it does.
Imagine getting rid of “the problem” that made all these yacht fleets exist.

Excuse me. There’s a sign at Ramsett Park that says “Do not drink the sprinkler water,” so I made sun tea with it, and now I have an infection. Sir? Sir, are… are… are… are you listening to me, sir? Sir, I’m talking to you! Sir! Sir, are you aware that there is waste in your water system?
