- Comment on Bees don't have lungs. 2 weeks ago:
My yard is surrounded by pine forest, nature does a good job of keeping it from spreading too far. No flower beds, decorative plants in pots.
It’s low maintenance and looks good enough for the backyard and I don’t have neighbors close enough to complain about rhizomes.
- Comment on Bees don't have lungs. 2 weeks ago:
I certainly agree that the texture of Poa Pratensis is much more pleasurable. However, being in zone 8 and not wanting to seed my entire lawn every year, I’m more familiar with E. ophiuroides and Zoysia japonica.

Some commenters here really need to go and come into contact with Eremochloa ophiuroides

He tweeted once and is therefore canceled because social media doesn’t understand nuance or context
- Comment on Proton 3 weeks ago:
It’s literally a nothing situation that social media, in its drive to find outrage in every single thing, has blown completely out of proportion.

- Comment on What is anti-propaganda? 3 weeks ago:
I started using anti-vaxx propaganda tactics satirically.
The goal is to show how the tactic is manipulative by applying it to something obviously not dangerous.
Water is easy, start insisting that “dihydrogen monoxide” is dangerous:
Celebrity just died? “They had dihydrogen monoxide before they died, maybe it killed them”
“All traffic fatalities in the last 5 years were link to people using dihydrogen monoxide”
“Dihydrogen overdoses kill people every year”
“Why is dihydrogen monoxide in everything? Why is big dihydrogen monoxide putting this in everything, what are they trying to do?”
“I bet Trump was on dihydrogen monoxide when he thought of his tariffs plan”
Etc

Social media users love to clutch their pearls.
Treating it like it’s exploitative let’s them get their little dose of outrage, it doesn’t matter if it matches reality or not.
Despite the fact that, as you pointed out, to do so often requires that they assume some pretty offensive things (like, “a 19-20 year old is only good for sex and housework”).
- Comment on Why Do Sites Keep Shoving Features We Don’t Want Down Our Throats? 4 weeks ago:
It’s the power of defaults.
1 person will hate the change but 100 others will be affected by the default and not care. The net result is more as revenue even if the first user cancels their account.

Exactly this.
You’re not the customer. Google is an advertising company, their customers are people who buy ads.
People who watch shorts watch more videos so there are more slots to put ads in. So, you’re going to watch shorts.

- Comment on Hamster 4 weeks ago:
A magnet that was strong enough to keep the hamster in place would be applying enough pressure to the flesh between the magnet and cage to destroy the tissue, due to lack of circulation, over 3 days.
If this was even remotely true the hamster would be seriously injured and severely dehydrated, not walking around normally. This isn’t even considering the damage that it would do to itself while trying to escape.
It’s a fake story

I used Netflix for years when it came out.
Now there 20 different services and they all are shit.
Jellyfin gives me the service that I want at a cost I can afford.

- Comment on Roku TV requires internet connection to EDIT THE HOMEPAGE 1 month ago:
Dang, that sucks.
My OSMC box doesn’t do any of this, is completely open source and is just Linux under the hood so I can customize anything I can imagine.
Roku has been shit since inception, they’re only now starting to become obvious in their shittiness. In a few years it’ll be right in the “scam purchase” territory.
