Dude what have you been doing since 2010
- Comment on makes me feel alright 1 day ago:
I think you’re right. My dad tells me stories about back in the 70s at parties, the people who were smoking weed were smoking joints all night like they were cigarettes and jait getting a good buzz. That’s what I want.

Very interesting. I love chamomile tea, does smoking it have similar effects?
- Comment on makes me feel alright 2 days ago:
For real. Can we have 90s weed again? I want to puff on a joint all evening and get a good buzz, not be spun out of my gourd.

It’s more of a Shelbyville idea.
- Comment on Would mechs make effective tools or weapons assuming the engineering and physics worked out, or are limbed piloted vehicles really just a rule of cool thing? 4 days ago:
Absolutely. Humanoid robots would be effective because we live in a world suited for humanoids.

Those are expensive and not accessible to teenagers.
- Comment on Do you cheat in games? 5 days ago:
In single player games, if it’s more fun for me, then yes.
I played the shit out of Mario Odyssey but the final stage is extremely frustrating so I turned on assist mode to finish the course.
In Tears of the Kingdom I’m riding a hoverbike all day long and cheesing the shrines.
In Factorio, I turn off all enemies because I just want a cozy factory game without the added stress of managing defenses.
Whether or not you’d call these cheating, they’re examples of things I’ll do. I play video games primarily for fun and relaxation, not to challenge myself. If I’m challenged in a way that’s fun and engaging, I’m for it, but it’s not my main concern.

When I train somebody new and I have to remember the actual rules and SOPs instead of all the ad hoc ones I made up.
- Comment on How do you avoid the "third rail"? Wouldn't it be on different sides depending on where your headed? 5 days ago:
It’s not in the middle in my city. That’s why it’s the third rail.
- Comment on Proving again that men are perpetually stuck in 8th grade sexual humor 6 days ago:
I think it’s more accurate to say that 8th graders have adult senses of humor.
- Comment on Sit back down and let's play 6 days ago:
I heard tell of families that didn’t even keep their Nintendo connected to the TV. They would set it up each time they wanted to play it.
- Comment on How can an airplane hit -47°c (-52°f) temperatures while flying over Southern Florida? 6 days ago:
The ground is opaque and dense so sunlight heats it effectively and it holds onto that heat well. Air is transparent and not very dense so it doesn’t heat well nor does it hold that heat.
Warm places are warm near the ground, but as you gain altitude it becomes cold quickly no matter where you are.

There are 28 million Black people in the South, give or take depending how you define the South, representing ~60% of the Black population in the US.
Black Americans make up ~15% of the voting population and more than half of eligible Black voters live in the South. They vote Democrat at upwards of 90%.
Deep Southern states have disenfranchised huge swaths of the Black population through various methods of voter suppression including gerrymandering, which has been going on since the 19th century. Creating white conservative majorities in state legislatures has been a multi-generational effort by conservative politicians and media that has been largely successful and resulting in the environment we see today.
The point of all this is that the South is not, at least in theory, as solidly red as it appears. I see many Democrat voters and white leftists say that we should just abandon the South and focus on seeing states, when in reality many of those states could be swing states. And I think we’ll see that in the next week with Black voter turnout surging hugely in the South, especially among young Black voters.
Keep clowning on white racists because they deserve it though.

To be anti-South is to be anti-Black btw.

I shut my bedroom door so my cats can’t get in.
- Comment on Why do media always specify a car's model in news stories? 2 weeks ago:
But I did know that. So do many others. So when a news story mentions that someone was hit by a Landcruiser we can immediately differentiate that from a Prius or an F-150.
You could maybe just say “SUV” but even that has a lot of ambiguity.
Then add in the fact that the press tends to stick to consistent reporting styles, and when describing vehicles it’s also helpful in situations where the perpetrator is still at large.
