It is very important to remember as an individual that anybody has the power to completely turn off their empathy, and that some people are particularly well practiced at doing it.
- Comment on Never Kirket, Never Forgrift 2 days ago:
I would say that its a reflection of the sickness of the times but humans have always had a lust for violence. In any case we are headed in a direction where peace becomes harder and harder to stick to.
- Comment on Never Kirket, Never Forgrift 2 days ago:
It shouldn’t be that surprising that a guy who made a career peddling hate would become a focal point for people sick of that shit. The people yearn to shoot more racists in the neck. The meme cycle will subside shortly and the Kirk memes will diminish until next year (or until someone shoots another racist.)
- Comment on Are we at a point in human history where we can get robotic limbs and other things to better our day to day lives? Like a robotic arm where I can pick up 100lbs with one arm and so forth? 4 days ago:
First thing you’d need is a robotic lower back
- Comment on Climate Science Has A Forbidden Answer 5 days ago:
I wonder how much the aerosol from wildfires contributes to cooling too. It was noticeably cooler when the smoke was hanging in the air this summer. When we run out of forests to burn, not only will we have lost all that CO2 storage, smoke wont be contributing to cooling during the hottest phases of summer.

you can see upvote and downvote count on the piefed overlay by hovering over the number.

Have to change the goals to non-concrete ones as time proves the old claims to be lies.

Unfortunately the floor boards are more permeable than a ball of hair, soap, skin and cum.

I set mine to the maximum and then run it all out.

When I see those stupid little lines coming off things, I usually assume AI made it.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 weeks ago:
No, in the same sense that “putting a data center in space” doesn’t make any sense either. If they had decided to put high speed rail above ground in 2013, it could have been done and dusted by now. It could extend the whole coast of California by now. Digging that shit underground? They would be lucky to have 100 miles done. Its completely ignorant of the context, costs and impact associated with its design decisions, something that has become a pattern in the companies this particular manchild collects like playtoys.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 weeks ago:
Im specifically referencing hyperloop. Of course there are some contexts (usually dense urban ones) where trains in tunnels make sense, just like there are some contexts where putting data infrastructure in space makes sense.
- Comment on Why put data centers in space? 5 weeks ago:
Why put trains underground? The question isn’t of practicality, but if the idea would sound cool to a 10 year old.

The dems in America are a lot closer to what conservatism classically is than republicans have been in over 50 years.

Look, just don’t bring your damn politics to my game about war and politics. We are just here to shoot ̶b̶r̶o̶w̶n̶ people and relax. I don’t want to think about the implications behind the media I am consuming.

I have a reputation among my friends for disappearing in the middle of things. Makes it a lot harder to do.
- Comment on China bans AI “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” over addiction and birth rate concerns 1 month ago:
I would argue a capitalist nation is any one that re-inforces private (not personal) property by law, and facilitates the exploitation of those resources through a market.
- Comment on China bans AI “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” over addiction and birth rate concerns 1 month ago:
It is funny to me that china can pretend not to be a capitalist nation while displaying every symptom of capitalism.
- Comment on China bans AI “boyfriends” and “girlfriends” over addiction and birth rate concerns 1 month ago:
That will fix it.
- Comment on What is the hate against Pit Bulls? Everyone I've met are super friendly like my BC. Or are they the new Doberman for this cycle? 2 months ago:
My neighbors had a pit that hated other dogs. My sister brought her dog over and it escaped the backyard and jumped through an empty screen door to attack her. I was right there on the porch though and got the dog by the collar. As soon as I got it away from my sister’s dog, it was wagging tail and happy face. Pit bulls are capable of intense focus when they have identified “prey.” Luckily I only got grazed in that altercation.

Lol, Labradors are not easy dogs. They are very friendly, but they need a lot of outlet for their boundless energy and constant direction or they become misbehaved. Every other poodle I ever met was undertrained and misbehaved too.

According to Wikipedia (I understand the irony here) dogsbite dot org has been accused of publishing misleading and inaccurate information. However, pit bulls are terriers and terriers don’t let go when they bite. Most terriers are small ratting dogs where this doesn’t matter so much.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 months ago:
Maybe it is better expressed as degree of control you have over the data on your drive, disk, whatever. When you choose to buy a game from steam, especially if it is on a website like GOG, you are choosing to have less control over your data. With large companies like Sony moving towards anti-consumer practices, it isn’t wise to believe that valve would never do the same.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 months ago:
Tekinukly. Software might still come with a license, but that license has no teeth without some form of DRM. This is a stupid way to try justifying the DRM steam has.
- Comment on Why the water to make the medication work? 2 months ago:
Yup, that’s my point.
- Comment on As Xbox and PlayStation flounder, Steam is reportedly having another record year 2 months ago:
I have never seen anyone back that claim up, despite it being a very popular one to make. People like to pretend they own their steam games but until that gets enforced by law; you don’t.
- Comment on Why the water to make the medication work? 2 months ago:
Could be that that medicine is (like coffee) a diuretic. They make you pee more so you have to drink more water to stay hydrated.
- Comment on Why the water to make the medication work? 2 months ago:
I can drink 5L on hot days without any increase in peeing. On a cold day I only drink 2.
- Comment on Settle a debate can potato's and noodles go together and taste great with sauce and other things? (I say it can) However my mother says two starches should never be cooked because it's too much. 2 months ago:
There is nothing inherently wrong about that. Maybe what your mother is getting towards is that maybe you should cut the amount of noodles in half if you want to add potatoes, otherwise you will just end up with too much.
