Just like the years, he started coming and didn’t stop coming
- Comment on No Vaccines. No Weakness. Only Testosterone 1 day ago:
AI does get trained on a lot of porn. At least the weirdly horny figures are adult here.
- Comment on Where do I go for unbiased news in the world without it having an ulterior motive or kissing ass to the establishment of said country? 2 days ago:
I follow NYTimes to learn what the big money wants to talk about and ProPublica to learn what the big money doesn’t want to talk about. Between the two of them, I think I stay decently well informed. In theory, I could know all things if I read them enough.
No such thing as unbiased news. Even Associated Press and Reuters make decisions about what to report on. Those are two solid choices too, by the way. Pretty flat and even-handed.

This is here to be laughed at, right?
- Comment on Interesting 6 days ago:
The problem is that proper communism is functionally impossible, and every crackpot despot in the last hundred years has wanted to get a little street credit with the working class by slapping socialism or communism on their brand.
- Comment on Why the water to make the medication work? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve found caffeine, and especially whatever they put in energy drinks, only interacts with my body in a helpful way when I’m not dehydrated. A Monster on a sweaty day does not get my ditches dug unless I’m chugging water too. Sorry I have no insight why, but maybe your med is a little like that.
Or perhaps it will cause the buildup of something toxic in your system if you aren’t drinking enough water to flush it or its metabolic byproducts out.
- Comment on Context is for people that read US news 2 weeks ago:
The rape allegation is pretty credible. Unless they’ve fabricated old texts and emails and gotten multiple people to lie about hearing her talk about it, it’s legit. I have been a staunch Platner supporter and fought through a lot of bullshit and bad-faith Astroturfing against him, but this one isn’t setting off my bullshit alarms. And it will kill his campaign.
However, if he drops, there are three solid options. First is Troy Jackson, an older guy who will vote exactly the same but looks like he golfs instead of like he kills people. Or Janet Mills, which would be a little frustrating but honestly pretty good as old-guard Dems go. Forgot the name of the third, but she’s a young woman with progressive stances and would also be great. Odds are Platner will drop out and one of them will get the nomination by some emergency means, likely not a proper election.
I hope it’s Troy Jackson. He did decently in the primary and is the best drop-in replacement for Platner.
- Comment on Context is for people that read US news 2 weeks ago:
It was a skull and crossbones and he got it converted into a celtic knot with dogs on it, very quickly. Then eight billion bots tried to tell me he was a homophobe because he said “All officers are gay, and not in the fun dick-sucking way” on Reddit in like 2012. I really didn’t buy that, and it primed me to get pretty dismissive of the noise pretty quickly.
- Comment on Would it be better to just have a lot of society be underground? 2 weeks ago:
The tradeoff for resilience in emergencies is that the if the ventilation fails hard enough, everyone who can’t get out suffocates. Flooding, as you guessed, is also a serious probelm. Everything that can flood a basement now floods a living space.
Heat and AC are normally going to cost less, but the cost of construction, maintenance, and modification of the structure are way higher and generally kinda dangerous. Not worth it.
- Comment on Take that Aussies, USA #1! 3 weeks ago:
The US was actually founded through a proxy war funded by the French.
- Comment on How come Dems never hit back at the Maga movement by calling them maggots? 3 weeks ago:
Might have been a mistake to stop tbh
- Comment on This has gotten out of hand and I demand satisfaction. 3 weeks ago:
If I play my cards right, I can get the big burrito AND get let off with a warning. I just can’t wear cute shorts while committing acts of mischief, and washing up before hitting the taco shack may be advised.
- Comment on This has gotten out of hand and I demand satisfaction. 3 weeks ago:
As a queer liberal millennial and a professional carpenter who may present very clearly either way depending on context, I would like to point out that the cops also do this but the other way around. You win some, you lose some.
- Comment on What games meet this criteria? 3 weeks ago:
You are asking for Borderlands 2, friend. You’re in for a grand adventure.
- Comment on What game is this? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, sure, but furries are not animals and people who want to fuck actual animals are not well-liked in furry communities.
- Comment on Reality dawns 4 weeks ago:
It’s the best position, which you only get if you’ve been a very good boy
- Comment on Great come back 4 weeks ago:
I’m not into clown girls. Tried it once but found that clussy feels funny
- Comment on How do I get the damn cat to understand I can feed myself? 4 weeks ago:
Cats are anarcho-communist and just share food with their colony. Proving you don’t need it will not stop the cat from letting you have some. They bring home extra not just for the young, but also for pregnant mothers, the sick, the elderly, and whoever might have had a bad hunt that day. They typically eat their fill in the field first before taking one to go, too.

Thought this might be real for a moment tbh, the actual scene is a bit like this already
- Comment on Men against bush 4 weeks ago:
My policy is that if you want someone’s mouth to go there, you should shave it. This applies to all genders and hair features pretty equally.

Who’s this asshole?
- Comment on Do criminals or terrorist measure themselves by how much bounty is put on their heads? Did Bin Laden think he was king shit because he was the top guy on all wanted lists? 5 weeks ago:
Probably more like how much they believe they have punished the wicked or promoted their long-term goals.
I really doubt many terrorists think it’s reasonable or moral to put a bounty on their heads. The difference between a terrorist and a revolutionary is who wrote the book.
- Comment on True or false: reading and studying socialist theory can help unrot your brain from ChatGPT and other AI chatbots. 5 weeks ago:
Reading books in general would work about as well.

I may be a relentless gooner, I will never be a clanker wanker
- Comment on I just realized that I can both make myself sneeze and make myself vomit. If I can do this simultaneously, I could spray partially-aerosolized stomach acid when I feel threatened. 1 month ago:
You’re gonna hurt yourself that way more than anyone else, but yeah, I’m not fucking with anyone who does that. It begs the question of how deep the rabbit hole of crazy goes, and I’ll pass on finding out. Nope.
- Comment on House passes pro-union bill after 20 Republicans defy party, in latest move to bypass GOP leadership 1 month ago:
A veto-proof majority in the Senate seems pretty unlikely, but I’m keeping just enough hope to get mad at them if it fails.
- Comment on Why do businesses and other public facilities have a metal plate where the door knob should be? Is pushing open the door more sanitary or something? 1 month ago:
Doors that push open are a lot more amenable to panickong people who need to get out in an emergency. You may notice that a lot of these non-latching or push-mechanism doors also swing out towards the exit.
- Comment on 🚨 Report: nity nite smooches DLC? 1 month ago:
He actually holds the patent on consent-based matchmaking. “If it’s not consensual, it’s not Sex” isn’t just a slogan, it has real legal backing.

I had a boss named Tim once, so this always makes me smile
