- Comment on Guardian reporters wins investigative journalism award 17 hours ago:
It’s quite obvious who funds it. The media companies. Bit of cognitive dissonance going on between the two, eh? Go watch a commercial, buy a product and hate somebody should not be a mission statement. Some good folk out there pursue the truth regardless of the “very expensive” façade but they don’t live in the corporate/capitalistic structure of “very expensive”.
- Comment on Guardian reporters wins investigative journalism award 1 day ago:
Good news. We need more journalists and less “media companies” in this day and age.
- Comment on Scientists have been studying remote work for four years and have reached a very clear conclusion: "Working from home makes us happier." 4 days ago:
My non-sciencey group of “experts in the obvious” said the same thing.

Driving a manual is a bit tricky to start with but minimum practice and you’ll learn everything you need to know. Everything else is experience. Once you’ve driven it for a while, especially through various weather conditions, you’ll find that you have more control of the vehicle when driving a manual stick shift. Even three on the tree makes you more free.
- Comment on We gonna fight 1 week ago:
This meme reminded me of all the different flavours of Christianity.
- Comment on The road they drove to dump this trash literally takes to the landfill 1 week ago:
I balk at the idea of paying to dump your junk in a landfill site. I pay myself but that silly system only leads to broke people having to dump elsewhere.
- Comment on Showing your ID to get online might become a reality 2 weeks ago:
I preferred the pre-tech “phonebook” stage where all you had was your name (and whatever else was attached to it based on one’s own behaviour).
- Comment on Showing your ID to get online might become a reality 2 weeks ago:
I don’t like the idea but look where anonymity has gotten us. Lots of hate and false bravery hiding behind an alias.

Shady Vance’s not whole.
- Comment on Choose one 3 weeks ago:
Came here looking for a masonry hammer as I need to buy one and don’t know what it is. I still don’t, unless it’s “brick”.
- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads 3 weeks ago:
Fuck that guy sucking my time with his ads. If I want to buy a ladder I’ll go online, or go to the store and buy one. Once all this world ending shit dies down let’s get rid of “advertising” as an economic concept. We don’t need any more socio/economic engineering, we need humanity and ecology.
- Comment on What's a cancelled game you really miss? 5 weeks ago:
The Original Lawn Darts. Life is no fun without a bit of risk.
- Comment on What's with "*checks notes*" everywhere? 5 weeks ago:
They used to say that prior to the computer phones. Now it is an antiquated saying that people use for fun.

When the rule of law has been abandoned then frontier justice makes an appearance.

“On The Air”
- Comment on I'm looking for a no frills, physical key EV. Am I looking for something that no longer exists? 1 month ago:
Not only that but make it cheaper and give me the option of power windows or not. I can crank my own windows up and down, I don’t need it “motorized”. Let’s make cars available to the masses again.
- Comment on I'm leaving the US for good, anything I should do before I leave? 1 month ago:
Close the door firmly after you leave.
- Comment on Meta: “We're Still Investing Massively In VR Gaming And Don't Plan To Stop” 1 month ago:
That’s where I’m at. I got one for Christmas and then learned about all of the politicization after the fact. Now when I play Walkabout Mini Golf I have fun, but also hate myself for not throwing it all away.
- Comment on Be honest and tell us what you see 1 month ago:
That looks like what they used to call a “Displaced Person”.
- Comment on Bravery 2 months ago:
Some good stoic advice and then it took a dark turn.

Hitler didn’t murder Tesla. Elon did.

Lots of groupings here. Applying current generational words as well. Good work!
- Comment on Starbucks continues to be terrible 2 months ago:
Shop local. It’s just coffee. Don’t let the marketers tell you any different. For sweet creamy syrupy treats go to the ice cream store. Let’s not support the current system of the bigwig at the top who does very little and reaps most of the rewards.
