- Comment on Am I going crazy, or has people's spelling gotten awful lately? 14 hours ago:
Not sure about the trend but I know my absolute bottom tier skillz are language related. in school low grades in spelling, then grammar, then foreign language. At the end of college I swapped transcripts with a friend and his comment was something like. Wow you get pretty good grades, oh. except in spanish. Basically the only reason I stopped getting bad grades in something like spelling is that it stopped being a class.

- Comment on Your future AI Assistant still needs to earn your trust. 3 days ago:
this is what I was looking to say. I sorta am hoping for a resurgence of ai assitance in linux that is like the audio gui and completely local with even ai assist installation the way gui installation became the norm. I would love to talk to my laptop the way folks in star trek talked to the computer but not if it relies on internet services.
- Comment on Pressuring Migrants to ‘Self-Deport,’ White House Moves to Cancel Social Security Numbers 4 days ago:
so stupid. those numbers were for paying taxes. we used to not give them out but they wanted the tax income because despite best efforts it was still happening. Many of these are likely numbers for legal migrants to. Here specifically to work.
- Comment on Why does Britain feel so poor? 1 week ago:
Its worldwide and it all comes down to wealth disparity. Just look at the disparity in even the top ten or 100 lists of wealthiest people and corporations. Musk is like double the person below him most of the time. That is why he can fuck things every which way and stay on top. The numbers are insane. Over a hundred people for people and market caps in trillions for corps while regular folks are trying to get by and thousandaires.
- Comment on When did movie credits move from the beginning to the end? 1 week ago:
From my youth im used to some credits at the start. The big stars and such, but then the comprehensive list after. I have never known the comprehensive list to occur before the movie.

Thats just the two parts of enshitification. take away things you like and push things you don't. I still can't believe how bank sites can be so limited in what you can do but hey heres a useless feature we give so all good.

I have often said lawyers are the warriors of the modern age. A well functioning democratic societies battles are fought in the courts.
- Comment on Do animals think we're cute? 2 weeks ago:
Dolphins seem to be infatuated with us. I mean like the recent splashdown they did not come to the surface until humans started showing themselves out of the vehicles. My dog loves humans and pretty much all animals she meets but gets more excited the younger they are and just goes bananas when an adult is holding a child. Two for one.

this is pretty much it. if it all collapses it won't matter.
- Comment on Why are we taxing working people more than billionaires? 2 weeks ago:
It seems to me they stopped encouraging less hours of work and thus a larger membership for bookoo overtime. They should have been pushing for a 35 hour work week in the 70's.
- Comment on What is happening with Tesla (TSLA) stock currently? 📈 2 weeks ago:
Since the end of febuary the whole market dropped such that it lost about six months of value and then stablelized and is going up keeping about the 6 month loss. This is why articles about modern dips crack me up as they are nothing compared to real one. The market is completely unhooked to any actual value. The crash in 2000 lost about 5 years of value and the 2008 one lost about 7 years. 2000 took two years to fall while 2008 took one. The great depression lost 19 years of profit and took about 3 years. If what we have not is like then we will know by end of year as it takes a series of drops while folks with the money to do so buy the fake bottom.
- Comment on What movies have you watched this week? 2 weeks ago:
Ugh. I have the unfortunate situation that my favorite superheroes are doctor strange for marvel and green lantern for dc. I had sorta forgotten I had picked up multiverse of madness to watch. I was sorta meh on the first movie and was hoping the second would redeem it. To make matters worse I was sick of meh media in general and had finally decided to rewatch the firefly series. Firefly and lord of the rings are basically my two favorite things. I was putting off rewatching as long as I could. I had watched the broadcast and then rewatched when I bought the dvd (seeing the unaired episodes for the first time). I then did not watch till I broke down recently. Anway it was just after I noticed I had gotten multiverse of madness and was like. Oh boy I should watch that. It was so not better than the meh first. I had not watched a marvel movie since avengers endgame outside of deadpool and guardians of the galaxy. Sooooooo disappointing.

I recall quite a bit of people taking issue with it. Goes back further with carradine in kung fu. Plenty didn't but same with assasins creed.
- Comment on My sister’s AMAB friend likes to look like a girl and even said she wanted to be a “Japanese woman”, why would conservatives think using she/her pronouns for her is forcing an agenda? 2 weeks ago:
These are bs issues they use to keep people away from noticing how they are tearing everything apart and selling it off to go in their own pockets. Nobody is forced to use prefered or proper gender terms. Source. High school. Including gym teachers.
- Comment on how do they decide where to put bus stops? 2 weeks ago:
Were I am at they have some busses that stop at the next intersection if you ring the bell and others that will only stop at designated stops. I always thought they put stops at places they predict people will want to get on and off like government buildings and major private areas like malls and then strewn ones in between at approximate set distances (every mile or two or several). Then I figure they adjust based on if people ring the bell to get off often.
- Comment on We Shouldn’t Have to Work This Hard 3 weeks ago:
Oh im totally not going to do that. You are aware of what oil comes from what regardless of if you use olive, peanut, canola, sunflower, etc. There is skill in the pressing of anything efficiently but its not rocket science to to it inefficiently. Getting oil from seeds is not the hard part but im not writing up or even looking up documentation on it for you.
- Comment on Is it better to leave a country, or stay behind to fight for it? And what about the ethics of fleeing instead of staying behind? 3 weeks ago:
I would flee if I could. Its not like the current stuff came and it was like hey im going to start fighting. We have been trying to change course and despite this its been going in the wrong direction. I mean will fight to the last but if my back was not against a wall I would be gone.

- Comment on One-handed games? 3 weeks ago:
Not really helpful in terms of gifts as they are free to play mmo's and they use keyboard and mice but both have some script capabilities which allow for one to be able to play alternating between keyboard and mouse or not use mouse at all. Its the cryptic games champions online and star trek online. One thing you could do is play them yourself and learn the scripting and then gifting them useful scripts. with champions online turning the block to a toggle is the big script thing and with star trek online its making an emergency power to spacebar one (this is reference to a script where tapping space works through all the abilites put into a shorcut area that can be swapped out). really basic ones will dump everything into spacebar but more nuanced ones will have a key for low cooldown abilities and one for long cooldown offense and long cooldown defense. there really is no limit to the messing around.
- Comment on Why is a two-party system considered democratic? 3 weeks ago:
I mean maine is the only state with possibly enough time to possibly have any effect. Remember that the senate only turns over every 6 years for a position. They have two senators and two reps and one is independent, but that was the case before. What we see there is incumbents continuing to win but given their reps I don't see this as surprising. It will make a bigger difference when its more contested. If it came to illinois it would give duckworth difficulties because of her military and security voting. Honestly given our executive ignoring the courts im not sure if its going to matter much unless we get back to a somewhat working system in general.
- Comment on Would it be a bad idea to show up at a protest outside a Tesla dealership with a sign that says "Deny Musk, Defund Doge, Depose Trump"? 3 weeks ago:
Given they made that up whole cloth they can decide anything you have is terrorism and don't forget they are saying aggression against tesla is terrorism and they are pretty vague on terms like aggression.

I think rank choice will result in third party but it will take some time. Our republic system does make it slower though compared to parliamentary systems.
