it’s a play on the super bowl (American football championship). it airs every year right before the super bowl. animal shelters send a bunch puppies to play on a mat with toys. the hosts act act like it’s a sports game, and the shelters get some free advertisement.

- Comment on What type of laptop do you recommend for simply browsing the internet? 4 days ago:
I’m not sure in what world you think a desktop system is easier to use than “just push the button”.
- Comment on What type of laptop do you recommend for simply browsing the internet? 4 days ago:
a cell phone. if it was a teen who actually needed to learn an operating system to be able to be employed later in life, ok get them a gaming laptop, but for a random old person who doesn’t care mobile is way more simple to use and less addicting.
- Comment on How come decades in the 1900s look fairly well differentiated but from like 2004 on feels like a giant run on? 4 days ago:
Buildings have become significantly more expensive to build, so only rich people build them in planned formats to make as much money as possible.
- Comment on What powers does the Secret Service have and exhibit to protect the POTUS? 6 days ago:
They’d be limited by things like private property rights or a person’s right to life and freedom, but other than that I wouldn’t assume their powers are limited in any public place. The president has inherent power to do certain things (like maintain the army) that isn’t derived from congress, and it’s fair enough to conclude that maintaining the president’s personal safety is necessary for him to be able to execute presidential functions.

why yes, attempting to solicit someone to murder on your behalf is a crime.
- Comment on Why is Minecraft able to be forced to put restrictions on online servers, but web browsers aren't held accountable for providing access to the web? 1 week ago:
I don’t really know what a browser does, but that sounds analogous to punishing a tv manufacturer for someone playing a pirated film on their tv.
- Comment on Why do horses allow humans to ride on their backs? 1 week ago:
We bred them to be amenable to it and we teach them to do it from the time they are babies.
- Comment on If the government raided your house and found a bunch of .mkv files but you insist its all legally obtained, how do they ascertain if they are actually pirated or not? 1 week ago:
I’ve only ever seen people prosecuted where the copyright holder was tracking downloads on specific sites and requested the prosecution. So, the proof would be where you downloaded the media from, not on the media itself.
- Comment on If if the subtext of america has always been government as 'Donald Trump' imposes, where did liberals go wrong? 1 week ago:
That’s the thing. Liberals didn’t go wrong. Liberals won in the marketplace of ideas and achieved mainstream dominance. It’s just that, liberals won so hard that the only way the wrong could win is by lying and cheating, because they’re objectively wrong. So, naturally vicious people naturally backlash viciously.
- Comment on What would you do if you knew your neighbor was an ICE/DHS agent? 1 week ago:
He might just have resting douche face but otherwise be harmless. But yeah, I’d definitely start putting up signs in my windows/around my building. I’m just like that.
- Comment on Should longer hair be handled by salons or male barbers? 1 week ago:
A good male barber can do long male haircuts or short. I wouldn’t expect a woman’s salon to be as familiar with men’s haircuts. I’d go on instagram and check out the barbers in my area.
- Comment on Question for the Americans. If Canada, Venezuela, Mexico, or Greenland dropped a nuke on Washington DC, would you be angry at the bomb dropper, or would you think we had that coming? 1 week ago:
To be clear, mass killing civilians is always wrong. We learned that from World War II. Not just the US, the entire world. If any country starts mass killing civilians, then nuclear weapons may be an appropriate strategy.
- Comment on Are there any women here who felt they didn't deserve to be called women? 1 week ago:
Personally I grew up being taught by a bunch of older 2nd wave feminists, so the messaging I received was a lot of “A woman is anything she wants to be.” Cue picture of Rosie the Riveter repairing a truck or something. I wonder if you maybe didn’t have the best relationships with the women around you growing up? Because personally, I’ve just always felt more comfortable with women. When I was a kid, women were more inclusive with me and easier to talk with, and I think the moments where women segregated from men, where it was just me and a group of grandmas in the kitchen or something, were really formative for the development of my feminine identity.
- Comment on I consider myself as a left-libertarian who supports limited government and direct democracy. Can left-libertarians support limited government? 2 weeks ago:
That doesn’t really respond to the dilemma. If there isn’t a strong system to stop abuses, there aren’t going to be personal freedoms and economic equality.
- Comment on Why are americans taking health advice from a former heroin addict ? 2 weeks ago:
This is very much a “You don’t know what you don’t know” kind of situation.
I once read a case about a physicians assistant who worked under a bariatric surgeon for 15 years. After completing thousands of bariatric surgeries under the surgeon, he started his own clinic and hired a “supervising surgeon” who was retired and never there. Meaning, even though he was not a doctor, he was acting as the only surgeon. He botched botched dozens of surgeries, he caused pain and suffering to dozens of other people. He had no idea what the surgeon was doing that he wasn’t, because he wasn’t trained to perform that role. Instead of recognizing he couldn’t do it, he just assumed he knew anything necessary.
People take that approach to a lot of things. Very common in the law for people to look something on chatgpt and get mad at their lawyer for not following completely non-sensical advice.
- Comment on I consider myself as a left-libertarian who supports limited government and direct democracy. Can left-libertarians support limited government? 2 weeks ago:
I’m a little confused on what basis you mean left, because without strong government there aren’t going to be any checks on capitalism, discrimination, abuses, etc.
- Comment on What do you think is the opposite of Kiwifarms? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not a social media site, but the Special books by special kids YouTube channel is centered around people with special needs or disabilities. Sometimes it’s kids or teens, sometimes it’s adults.
- Comment on Why do some car lovers oppose bike infrastructure, when more bikes would mean fewer cars on the road? 2 weeks ago:
obviously they don’t know that, but also it’s an individualist society. people aren’t taught to think about how an entire community works together. they’re taught that they’re the only person that matters and everyone else should inconvenience them as little as possible.

Hopelessness protects you from disappointment.
- Comment on Jamelle Bouie OPINION The Cruelty Is the Point for ICE 2 weeks ago:
but now, the lawlessness is also the point.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
That’s so ridiculous. I bet the warning didn’t even tell you that you couldn’t use another account in the interim.
They don’t seem interested in unbanning these kinds of banned. You can get around it, but they need to have no idea it’s you. There are posts and videos about it. It’s checking your devices and your internet service. You’ll need a new device and internet service. You can never connect your old accounts to them, and you can never log the new device/account into an internet service you used (eg. at your moms). It’s also recommended to take care to not make it obvious you’re the same person. Eg. spend a few weeks just upvoting posts, only go to a few subreddits you didn’t go to before, and slowly add the stuff you liked before.
I’m not bothering, personally.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such? 2 weeks ago:
I have a lot of Republican family members who are personally affected and still Republican. They don’t see any alternative. You need to remember why we got here: our party has done nothing for the past 20 years but fail. Fail to prevent the collapse of the middle class, fail to create a comprehensive re-training scheme, fail to address the consequential homelessness and drug addiction epidemic, fail to lift the south out of poverty, fail to create a rational healthcare system, fail to stop the environment from getting worse, fail to govern effectively and bring the national debt into line, bowed down to trillionaire oligarchs instead of stopping them. I could keep going. I say this with full acknowledgement that Joe Biden had the most positive direct impact on my life and family of any president in my lifetime. I say this with full acknowledgement that the republicans also failed. But when all people here is that we can’t help them, people will turn to ANYONE saying they can help.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such? 2 weeks ago:
It’s not possible for it to not happen. Even if every republican area was complicit, so that they only had to attack democratic cities, they simply cannot attack every place in the country all at once. Also, most authoritarian governments still have elections. They just engage in election fraud, which again, he can’t do in every single place.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such? 2 weeks ago:
They need to recognize there is a problem and want to change it.
- Comment on At this point, what should we do about the ICE Agents and Trump and such? 2 weeks ago:
Well, red voters need to stop voting red this election. That’s the only way we have to hold our elected officials accountable.
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 3 weeks ago:
When they start getting wet when it rains. Currently my favorite pair wears out in less than a year.
- Comment on Do old people still remember their childhood? Do people just start losing their memories and their sense of self as they get older? 3 weeks ago:
Everyone loses a lot of memories. The brain only stores what’s important. You’ll keep your most defining memories until Alzheimers starts destroying your brain.
