Not weird to ask. Just don’t invite yourself without asking. That might be a little weird.
- Comment on Age Verification Lobby Pushes For Age Verification Checks For VPN Use 1 week ago:
Ummm…you mean like providing them with a credit card in order to pay for the VPN service? Does anyone actually trust “free” VPNs to not sell your data?

Aah, yes…the ever-popular “Ancient Greek Maid” cut.

Well…that award effectively means nothing, now.
- Comment on UK pornography taskforce to propose banning ‘barely legal’ content after Channel 4 documentary airs 3 weeks ago:
Probably all the same people complaining about this, are the same ones who support “traditional values” like child marriage.

Well, now that is a cute baby.
- Comment on US criticizes French inquiry into social media platform X 4 weeks ago:
It is such a stupid thing for Twitter to “deny” this is happening. Of course it’s happening. Everyone knows it’s happening. The problem lies with, what are they expecting Twitter to DO about it? Ban anyone who posts anti-establishment or non-conforming content?
What twitter should be doing, is banning any and all bot users from the platform. This would solve the majority of the problem. No bot armies…no artificially amplified narratives.
Will twitter do this? Fuck no. That’s why Twitter sucks. France should just ban the whole platform, if they want the interference to stop.
- Comment on You don’t see articles like this about moms with three two jobs who still manage to take care of their kids. 5 weeks ago:
Imagine believing that just thinking about your job, equates to “working”. Give me a break.
- Comment on Donald Trump Said He Promised Ivanka He Wouldn't Date Girls Younger Than Her | “So as she grows older, the field is getting very limited.” 😬 5 weeks ago:
And obviously there was a reason she made this request.

Your floor would have to be supernaturally flat and level for that to happen.

Whelp. Better slap some tariffs on that shit, fast. It’s the only way to fix it. /s
- Comment on My son got Nikes so he doesn't get teased. 1 month ago:
When I was young (in the late 80’s) it was Air Jordans.
But, on top of being teased for not having them, you would also get jumped by kids who wanted to steal them from you.
- Comment on If corporations are the GOP and the GOP are corporations why isn't it assumed that corporations will stem inflation due to tarrifs while the GOP is in power even if its at loss? 1 month ago:
Why would losing money, “consolidate power for the GOP”? The only people that matter to the GOP are the ones that stand to lose money. Their interests come first. The peasants will do as they’re told, regardless.
- Comment on If corporations are the GOP and the GOP are corporations why isn't it assumed that corporations will stem inflation due to tarrifs while the GOP is in power even if its at loss? 1 month ago:
Why would they take a loss, when they can just make their customers pay for it instead?
- Comment on Why doesn't the US government just tax illegal immigrants a little bit more than the Average american? Then use those funds to fix infastructure or a new WPA of the 21st century? 1 month ago:
Because the point isn’t to actually “fix” anything.
- Comment on Do the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few? 1 month ago:
No. Unfortunately, they don’t. But, they SHOULD!
- Comment on How inaccurate claims by Trump were used to justify executive actions 1 month ago:
Isn’t “bullshit” his entire basis for doing anything?
- Comment on ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered 1 month ago:
Compared to the Cybertruck’s design, I don’t think having a LIDAR antenna on top of the car is so bad.
- Comment on ‘Lidar is lame’: why Elon Musk’s vision for a self-driving Tesla taxi faltered 1 month ago:
"LIDAR is so lame! Who needs to be able to accurately map their surroundings, when our cars can get confused by a shadow passing across one of their lenses, just like humans do? It’s so much more efficient to be blinded by fog, or low light conditions."
- Moron Musk, for some reason.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 2 months ago:
Yeah, but in “Arena” there was nothing about using humans as incubators / hosts. That’s the part they added in, to make them more “monster-like”. Without that, their motivation is not much different than our own. With that, they are much more terrifying and alien.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 2 months ago:
To be fair, the old Gorn rationale for attacking the colony was, “You’re in our territory, and we assumed you had hostile intent”…while the SNW rationale is, “We lay eggs in your body, so our young have something to eat when they hatch”.
That’s a significant difference in character motivation.
- Comment on ‘Star Trek: Strange New Worlds’ Showrunners Talk Season 3 Premiere And “Retconning” The Gorn 2 months ago:
“The Arena” is originally the first meeting between the Federation and the Gorn, with Kirk and the Gorn captain fighting one-on-one.
But, in SNW, the Gorn have already been encountered, although little is known about them yet, due to the fact that they leave no survivors and seem to make no effort to communicate.
The recon is to the timeline and initial encounter with the species, as well as adding in a lot of new details that were never part of the original concept.
- Comment on The White House is paving over the Rose Garden with concrete. People are outraged 2 months ago:
Is this just to lower the property value? I thought Trump understood things about real estate.
- Comment on Checkmate, Round Earthers 🌍 2 months ago:
A flashlight still lights up the whole room, even if it’s just pointed at one wall. It’s not like half the room is totally dark, while the other half is totally bright.
- Comment on Checkmate, Round Earthers 🌍 2 months ago:
Don’t forget that it’d be nighttime after a certain distance, because light can only travel a certain distance before it disappears.

- Comment on The D.E.N.N.I.S ship 2 months ago:
As usual, this doesn’t actually make any sense. I genuinely wonder if Trump understands anything people around him are even talking about…or if all of his interactions with others, are just a series of Charlie Brown adults "mwa-mwa"ing at him while he struggles to pay attention.

“Outside” works. So does “the sky”. “It” can also represent “today”, or “right now”.
