- Comment on Microsoft reportedly mulls ad-infested free Xbox Cloud Gaming plan — Game Pass Ultimate subscriber allegedly catches ad during game loading 3 days ago:
This is exactly why people stopped using cable television services, in favor of streaming. It seems we need another transition away from commercials, once again.

Once again, Elmo is out in front of the crowd, running with the stupidest idea he can come up with.
- Comment on Is Star Trek Discovery that bad? 1 week ago:
I really liked parts of it…from themes to characters…but found it really hard to sit through, most of the time. They had a really annoying way of rehashing everything that happened, after-the-fact…as if we needed to be constantly reminded about details that were literally from ten minutes ago.
It reminded me of the dialogue formats used in cheesy Mexican telenovelas. You can’t mention someone’s name, without also including a brief description of who they are related to, and what they’ve previously done. No one talks like that in real life. Especially when the person you’re talking to, was right there with you when that event took place.
If you remove all the superfluous dialogue, then the actual length of each episode, was less than 20 minutes.
- Comment on Gabbard Ends Intelligence Report on Future Threats to U.S. 1 week ago:
“A draft of the 2025 Global Trends report was carefully reviewed by D.N.I. Gabbard’s team and found to violate professional analytic tradecraft standards in an effort to propagate a political agenda that ran counter to all of the current president’s national security priorities,” the office said.
In other words…Trump wasn’t going to like what it said.
- Comment on What would happen to the Earth if it got booped by a giant asteroid going super slowly? 1 week ago:
There’s no such thing as “slowly” when it comes to that much mass.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 1 week ago:
Yes. This is exactly where the word “woke” comes from. Now that you are, there is no going back. You can either live with your rage, or do something to fix the problem. It’s up to you.
If you want to know who to trust, look for the ones that are trying to help others, and help them.
- Comment on Lauren Southern accuses Tommy Robinson of lying to protect alleged 'rapist' Andrew Tate 1 week ago:
I feel bad for her. I can’t imagine being stupid enough to believe that you can hang around with people like this, and not get treated like garbage. They are literally living examples of the kind of shit they spew online…and yet somehow, these girls still don’t see them for who they are, until it’s too late.

That settles it, then. Obviously, autism was caused by time travel.

Fuckin’ lightweights.

It only counts if they get shot in the neck first.
- Comment on President Trump suggested people shouldn’t feel sorry for Joe Biden over his cancer diagnosis 2 weeks ago:
Is this in response to the left’s Charlie Kirk reactions…or is he making this statement unironically?

Because you’re not as likely to play games with him, the way younger girls might. Emotional maturity is a very attractive thing, if you’re looking for something stable that doesn’t include a lot of unnecessary drama. It’s hard to find that when you’re in your 20’s.
Most girls you get together with at that age, haven’t even figured out what they want yet. You might get attached, just in time for her to decide she needs something you don’t have. By the time you’re in your 40’s, you pretty much know what you want and what you don’t. There’s a lot less confusion and guesswork going on…and that can be very reassuring.
In the end, it really depends on what you want from him, though. If he makes you happy, fuckin’ go for it. At the very least, you have some fun. Don’t deny yourself the opportunity, just because of his age. There are plenty of real red flags to look out for, without also adding arbitrary rules to the list.
- Comment on What is the difference between pansexual, bisexual, and omnisexual? How do I know which one I am? 2 weeks ago:
Everyone I’ve ever met, has their own personal definitions for the distinctions between these terms. As far as I’m concerned, that makes them all somewhat interchangeable.
Sexuality is a spectrum. Where you fit on that spectrum is as unique as you are, as a person. So, go ahead and choose whatever label you prefer, to describe your position on it. Hell…go ahead and make up your own word for yourself, if that feels like the best way to describe yourself. There are no wrong answers.

To be fair, they do taste about the same.
- Comment on Scottish Government considers quitting X following owner Elon Musk’s use of platform to incite violence 2 weeks ago:
I’m still a little amazed Twitter hasn’t devolved into just another Truth Social, at this point. Why is anyone even still using it, outside of Elon’s muskrats?

Well, that got weird.
- Comment on 'Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' Producers Promise Season 4 Will Be Better 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, the whole wrap up of Batel’s storyline was pretty stupid, NGL.
I don’t understand why they didn’t just go with the moral dilemma of having to choose between her life or the possibly dozens of baby Gorn that were growing inside her.
I mean, if you want to have a heart-wrenching example of how far Star Fleet is willing to go, in the name of peace and the preservation of innocent lives…leaving Batel to choose whether or not to sacrifice herself, in exchange for them…as well as the prospect of continued peace between the Federation and the Gorn? Wow. Now, that would have been a powerful display of compassion and benevolence.
None of this “Universal Star-child” bullshit. Just a good old fashioned moral dilemma, about the needs of the many, outweighing the needs of the few.
- Comment on Washington Post Columnist Says She Was Fired for Posts After Charlie Kirk Shooting | Karen Attiah said she was fired for “speaking out against political violence” and America’s apathy toward guns. 3 weeks ago:
The US mediasphere is 100% falling in lockstep with the Trump administration’s narrative. The US is fucked.
- Comment on Elon Musk is trying to silence Microsoft employees who criticize Charlie Kirk 3 weeks ago:
So, he wants to make it so just criticizing Charlie Kirk is off limits, now?
Lol! Wut? I thought this guy told everyone he was a “free speech absolutist”. What a clown.
- Comment on Why do conservatives define being fascist solely as "being violent?" 3 weeks ago:
Because they don’t want to admit that they’re fascists, so they leave out all the characteristics that would confirm that they are.

Giving your wife a crampie does not automatically make you a good person.
- Comment on Do you meditate? 3 weeks ago:
It actually makes multitasking easier. If you loosen your concentration, you can actually focus on more than one thing at a time. My job is very detail-oriented, and sometimes involves long periods of repetitive manual tasks, that require both mental and physical concentration in order to perform correctly. This type of meditation helps me do everything easily, and without any mistakes.
Once I get in “the zone”, I can use both my left and right hands with the same degree of control, and can maintain focus on several tasks at once without having to “switch” back and forth between them. Timing and precision just seem to melt together, and everything becomes effortless and smooth.
Then before I know it, hours have flown by in what feels like minutes, but I haven’t lost any time. I remember every detail of what I did. It’s like my mind goes quiet, my body goes full-auto, and my entire awareness is just there to observe, record and occasionally course-correct.
- Comment on Do you meditate? 3 weeks ago:
You don’t necessarily have to think about “nothing”. Just think about what’s right in front of you, and then the next thing and the next thing. Be present in this each moment, and then let that moment go, so that you can be present in the next one. Time flies by, but you don’t miss an instant. No distractions. No attachments.

The top ten percent. That’s it.
- Comment on Do you meditate? 3 weeks ago:
Every day, as often as possible. I do waking meditation while I work. It improves focus and concentration, and makes the hours fly by.
- Comment on We are helping 4 weeks ago:
That’s not actually as true as people have been led to believe. If cow farts were really such a large factor, then we would have already been having a climate change issue, based simply on the natural dietary habits of grazing animals.
The majority of the emissions attributed to the meat industry are due to background factors involved in their care and upkeep. It’s a very resource heavy process, that produces an enormous amount of waste. They include everything in their assessments, from their food production, all the way down to heating and electricity requirements for their facilities. Depending on the area, that can be as bad as coal-burning power plants and diesel engines to harvest hay. Nothing about the meat industry is “clean”.
- Comment on We are helping 4 weeks ago:
Most of the problem with meat production comes from the way we produce meat, rather than the amount. Which is inevitably dictated by big money interests, simply being allowed to do whatever they want, in order to maximize profit margins.
