- Comment on An 82-year-old YouTuber grandma was raided by police and SWATs during her live stream last night where she plays Minecraft to raise money for her grandsons cancer. Authorities brought 20 police cars 1 day ago:
I don’t think giving the police more surveillance options is the best option. The main problem is the extreme militarisation of the US police. This amount of force is a ridiculous response to almost any likely scenario they would have encountered.
- Comment on 60% of PC gamers have no plans to build a new PC in the next two years — AI pricing crunch on RAM and other components paralyze enthusiast market 4 days ago:
Devs were incentivised to write more efficient, leaner code because resources were expensive.
AI are the devs now. And efficient code is probably the last thing they are known for doing.
- Comment on gen x 1 week ago:
It’s just “this generation did [nonsense], so now this generation [nonsense]” to start intergenerational strife in the comments. Which seems to have succeeded relatively well.

The ones who killed the king were definitely not the same who submitted themselves to the emperor.

Is it another one, or is it the same which have been reposted about for years now? It would be great if it is a movement in the works, all those shitstains really needs to die horrible deaths.
- Comment on Traffic cameras have caught a white RAM 1500 pickup truck driving above the speed limit or running red lights more than 547 times since 2022. It belongs to an NYPD cop. 3 weeks ago:
If I was American, I would be a lot more than mildly infuriated about the pedocratic police state that is the US. But I am not American, so mildy infuriated fits perfectly for me I guess.

So how did you come about the conclusion that they are “progressives”?
- Comment on Why is Greg, Pastor of the Promised End playing guitar??? 4 weeks ago:
The post is referring to american protestant denominations like baptists, evangelicals, presbyterian, etc. as opposed to capital P Protestant churches.
They are all capital P Protestant denominations.

The Anglican church is technically also a Protestant church.

Cannabis was used until the 20th century as “tobaco for the poor”
No, it wasn’t.
- Comment on Forensic Poetry 4 weeks ago:
The active drug part of the plant is the resin found at the flowers of the female hemp plant, created during pollination season. There is neglible amounts of THC in the rest of the plant, as in basically nothing. So you would only get high if you smoked that particular part of the plant, not the rest. So sailors could have saved on tobacco by using the dried leaves of the harvested hemp plants they imported for rope, but it wouldn’t have made them stoned in the slightest.

Palantir has apparently been posting recruitment ads in trans somewhere. Someone then posted fake palantir ads based on those, but stating the literal truth about what palantir is about instead.
- Comment on North America contains some of the longest continuous decididous forest records on the planet. 5 weeks ago:
The point is Trump will never do anything that isn’t for deeply personal reasons. And he would never do anything solely to save money on the budget, he doesn’t care about that at all. So either he does this out of pure spite, because it is a “liberal” thing, or more likely he does it because he has been bribed by whatever industries are eager to turn all that forest into shortsighted profit.
- Comment on The Struggle 1 month ago:
It does seem like the “drink more water” propaganda which has gripped the US for many years now, has been an extremely succesful campaign for getting more Americans to lessen their sugary drink intake in favour of water. That is objectively a good thing.
The downside is all the Americans preaching to everyone else in the world on the internet about it, even though most of us already didn’t drink excessive amounts of sugary drinks.

Welcome to the afterlife. Here is your white beard and wig and wings. Now if you will please move to that extremely crowded spot over there with the big hole in the middle and look worried with the rest of them. Have fun for eternity.
- Comment on Back to the Epstein Files! 1 month ago:
More like “criminally insane”, because as already been pointed out, US presidents dabbling in a bit of criminality has not been uncommon at all. He is probably the only extremely low intelligence pathologically narcissistic president though.
Even Bush jr. was a literaly genius compared to Trump, and, despite at lot of attempts at retconning him as a smart man these days, he was in fact not very intelligent.

It says something about certain people. It has nothing to do with cat owners.
- Comment on Steam On Linux Use Skyrocketed In March - More Than Double The macOS Gaming Marketshare 1 month ago:
I switched to linux in december 2025, and was part of the steam survey in that month, but unfortunately they did the survey before my switch, so have yet to be part of the statistics.
- Comment on Can we impeach the pedophiles now? 1 month ago:
No you can’t. Because impeachment would mean a semi-functioning US political system. It doesn’t function anymore, because you have got a dictatorship, and the only people who seem to be slow in grasping this are the Americans themselves.
- Comment on We show you how NVIDIA RTX Remix can upgrade your classic games with Quake III - PAX East 2026 1 month ago:
Why should we care? Regular consumers are not going to be able to get their hands on any nvidia products anyway. And also fuck nvidia for being one of the main instigators of this whole AI shitshow in collusion with a fascist US government.

Only once a year? Are you talking about the US, because it seems to have stopped working quite some time ago.
- Comment on Trump in 2029 after removing the 22nd Amendment, watching Obama run again 1 month ago:
I don’t think so. That would only make his wish to run and win against Obama even stronger. I am perfectly sure he thinks he could win in such a contest.

They ate horse dewormer when they got COVID, and unsurprisingly died in droves. So I think you can figure out he answer to your question yourself.
- Comment on don't worry, be happy 1 month ago:
The majority of other specie wont survive or adapt though. And all because of something we caused.
- Comment on don't worry, be happy 1 month ago:
Personally I am not able to get excited about the prospect, with the knowledge that it happens on the back of millions of species going extinct all over the globe.
- Comment on Great Tits 2 months ago:
Tits aren’t herbivores, they eat lots of insects as well. The description in the comic is pretty misleading.
- Comment on German man says american are savages 2 months ago:
Even if they did eventually move out of the way, it would still be way slower than what happens in Germany (and many other European countries). Cars would begin to move out of the way as soon as they notice it approaching.
