No. We need to get our shit together first.
- Comment on How does this thing work? (wrong answers only) 1 day ago:
The fan draws body heat towards the stove so, in the long run, you use less firewood.
- Comment on If donald j trump was replaced with a body double some time in the last 15 years, would you even care? 2 days ago:
Same shit. Different pile.
- Comment on Did you have one? 2 days ago:
I carried one for years. IT support. Even years later, after no longer using the pager, if I hear a similar sound my heart starts racing faster. I was really Pavloved by that thing.
- Comment on JD Vance Booed at Olympic Opening Ceremony in Milan 3 days ago:
How many television stations muted the boo’s? The media has abandoned truth for money. Thankfully there will always be people who are witnesses and will tell it like it is.
- Comment on The danger of not thinking it out before you act 1 week ago:
Nowadays everyone has a phone to kill time with while the paint dries. Pre-tech this used to be a very bad thing to do. No-one should be left alone with their thoughts for too long. /s
- Comment on Buttcoin 1 week ago:
Does anyone still invest anymore? I thought the stock market was a mere shadow of it’s former self, what with all the manipulation and insider knowledge diddling going on (for far too long). With cost-accounting being ignored all value is applied by using “gut feeling” or 'whatever the rube will pay" gambits.

You’d have to be as low as a snake’s belly to spot that guy.

If I have to shower in gym class I want the mercator-projection showers.

Very cool of you. Thanks!

Someone read “Wind Through the Keyhole” and thinks a Starkblast is real.
- Comment on Retail stores still selling the same overpriced junk since at least 2019 and even pretending it's on sale 2 weeks ago:
General merchandise will become even cheaper once the populace is squeezed even harder for their food money. No one will buy that new tech when they’re saving up for that lettuce they’ve got their eye on.
- Comment on a man of many minds 2 weeks ago:
“I have so many other people’s ideas I can’t even think for myself anymore!”

Smart kids. Bitcoin is a pyramid scam anyway, don’t let all of the fancy “techy” words fool you.
- Comment on Many guess that it's some type of religious symbol 3 weeks ago:
These things were always missing so I centered by eye.
- Comment on If WWIII broke out tomorrow do you honestly believe america would win? 3 weeks ago:
There would be no nukes because then all the “businessmen” couldn’t sell artillery anymore. /s
- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 3 weeks ago:
Sigh…I agree.
- Comment on Being Trans Isn't Normal or Part of Nature...or is it...? 3 weeks ago:
I think being true to yourself is being closer to God than most Christians are.
- Comment on Meta is closing down three VR studios as part of its metaverse cuts 3 weeks ago:
I do like the idea of business people doing business in a VR boardroom instead of flying all over the place and wasting company money on hotels and fine dining. Nothing to do with meta but how a VR tool can be used for things other than gaming.
I bought a Quest 3s about a year ago and am an old school, single-player gamer. Meta sure tried hard to get me to socialize and meet “friends” while VR’ing but I was never interested. Also, because of the whole surveillance layer built into new tech I worry about my interior spatial domicile information being exposed. Not that there is a big secret in a house floor plan but I just don’t like people sneakily looking at my shit.

Nothing counts, unless it sells, I guess.

…with a big customer pool in North America.
- Comment on Has Canada's government done anything concrete to reduce dependence on the US since Trump took office? Maybe even since the first term? 4 weeks ago:
No warning required. I wish for cheap Chinese EV’s, not that fat bloated crap they are producing out of North America nowadays.
The only thing I can think of is that the big car unions are charging too much for dues and the workers are suffering. /s
- Comment on Has Canada's government done anything concrete to reduce dependence on the US since Trump took office? Maybe even since the first term? 4 weeks ago:
Canada is still sucking heavily at the teat of the American auto cabal. As a Canadian I want to bring in those Chinese EV’s and make driving affordable again for most Canadians. $60,000 average price for a vehicle. That’s jumping the shark big time! I do see a lot of positive changes regarding our conscious uncoupling though, as the poster indicates.
- Comment on Switch 2 Sales Reportedly Struggled Over The Christmas Period 4 weeks ago:
Three reasons: 1) It’s too bloody expensive. 2) Most people are scared to spend money right now. 3) The USA as a global superpower, is morphing into something decidedly more sinister.

“How about those comedians that say ‘What is the deal with…’? They’re trite I tell 'ya. Trite!”
- Comment on Ubisoft Closes Canadian Studio After It Unionizes 4 weeks ago:
Got it. No more Ubisoft support and no more money given. I’m not a big fan of unions but with no federal laws to protect the workers I am even less of a fan of union busters.
- Comment on Why in hospitals, is 'gun shot wound' appreciated as "GSW"- 4 weeks ago:
It’s quicker to write/type the abbreviation, so syllables don’t matter. Most common example of more syllables in the abbreviation than the words themselves is “WWW” (9 syllables) for “World Wide Web” (3 syllables). Quicker to type but longer to speak.

Reminds me of that old quote paraphrased by John Lennon…“Life is what happens to you while you are making other plans”. All the best!
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 5 weeks ago:
While we all still talk in “countries” the real world leaders talk in “globes”. Be true to your school, patriots. Eventually I hope you discover your school is one globe as well.
