No it doesn’t. It’s about friction. They want people logged in to better monitor them and collect their data. If someone uses their service while logged out the platforms make it difficult as possible in as many ways as possible to “encourage” people to create an account and log in. “Protecting the children” is just a satanic panic excuse. PARENTS are responsible for managing their children’s online activities. Expecting platform providers to be the arbitrators of morality for our kids (or for adults) is how we ended up with Elon Musk’s fucked up CSM generator on twixxer.

- Comment on What would happen if you maxxed out your credit cards and line of credit then moved to some village in the phillipines? 1 week ago:
-Unpaid debt gets sent to collections.
-Collectors would try to contact you.
-Your debt would be sold multiple times among multiple agencies, all of which would make efforts to try and contact you to collect the debt.
-After about 7+ years the debt is written off by the agencies and drops off credit reports.
-Once the debt dissappears your credit score would go up.
-You don’t need to leave America, you can ignore debtors/change your number/avoid being served (obviously laws are state dependent). An attempt to reclaim what you purchased could be made depending on how much you owe/what you bought but usually it’s not worth the hassel.
-If you leave the US and want to see if debtors are still looking for you pulling your credit reports will reflect it.None of this applies to student debt.
- Comment on This is what Democratic voters are saying. Will the party listen? 1 week ago:
That’s what most Americans are saying. The biggest voting block in America is independents. Yet we stupidly keep lettings the elites in the margins have all the air in every room so they can pretend-fight over invented talking points as a distraction so we can’t stop them taking our time/money/resources.
- Comment on Could I theoretically grind up one of those pink salt lamps and use it to season my food? 2 weeks ago:
I wouldn’t. While yes, it is technically salt, it isn’t food grade. You could have a safe to eat lamp OR a lamp contaminated with toxins or heavy metals or radiation. And that’s before whatever processes may have been done during manufacturing to turn it into a lamp. Not to mention if it’s been sitting out it’ll be covered in dirt and dust which is also not great in food (not dangerous, but not enjoyable either).
- Comment on Amazon thought it would be a good idea to not include subtitles in a film made entirely with sign language. 2 weeks ago:
I get a special kind of mad when I watch a foreign film in its original language. Turn on that language’s subtitles and the subtitles don’t match what’s being verbally said because apparently the subs have been translated into English then back into the original language so nothing matches and everything sucks. Or worse when they’ve translated some idiom for American audiences and have translated that idiom back so what’s being said makes zero sense.

Ya’ll if you don’t want to serve just tell the court you know what jury nullification is and ask to be dismissed. No need for biological warfare.
- Comment on Modern Monetary Theory: Musk Edition 3 weeks ago:
You should be asking who his publicist is. Whoever they are, they are very good at what they do. The only reason we all figured out Elon is a trash fire nazi is either he stopped listening to the publicist or he fired them and went rogue.
- Comment on this absolute bullshit from reddit 4 weeks ago:
I used to hit reddit forums for internet queries because they are usually at the top of search engines. Now I blow right past them to the next in theme answers (steam for gaming for example) because the join us we are a cult splash screen is annoying. Anyone that is going to create a reddit account/use the app ALREADY IS. The enshittification is so painfully bad.

Thermal shock.
- Comment on She was churning plastic 5 weeks ago:
Nah. In my experience it’s normally dudes that cause this problem by pouring cold coolant into a hot engine. Hot engine block plus cold fluid = BAD. The engine block cracks. If you ever need to add coolant only do it when your vehicle is cold (If it’s an emergency and you can’t wait for the engine to cool make sure the engine is ON and you add coolant slowly). If this only happened because someone just poured the wrong fluid into the wrong hole, hell yeah, because I’d rather do a clean out then have to replace my whole god damn engine.
- Comment on She was churning plastic 5 weeks ago:
I’m aware that this is a shit post, buuuut I just want to point out if this was very old oil it would be black sludge. This oil looks contaminated. Probably with coolant. If we’re going to do a sexism let’s at least accurately identify the engine problem.
- Comment on Being poor is expensive 5 weeks ago:
So destroy more forest to grow food for one person? May I suggest an alternative. We protect the little forest that remains and instead relax zoning laws to allow people to grow food on the countless acres of grassy yard space/land we already have. Grass is an outdated non native crop originally grown by rich assholes as a staus symbol to say “I have so much I do not need to use my land for anything productive.”
- Comment on Do you think that Trump is the most hated U.S. president? 5 weeks ago:
I think when future history books are written about the downfall of America they’ll be entire chapters dedicated to his contribution to the collapse.

Have you ever met someone like the people you want everyone to act like? I have. Many times. They are usually either SUPER neurotic or very rigid and extremely unforgiving of themselves when they don’t meet their own standards. Everyone bitches about them or pathologizes them. So no it’s not human nature because humans are not a monolith with default behaviors.
- Comment on Data from the 2023 Insomniac leak showed that most first party Playstation games sold more physical discs than digital copies 1 month ago:
I think it pure enshittification. They want to push hard for the subscription, monthly service fee model. Easier to extort people if you paint them in a corner.
- Comment on So wise. 1 month ago:
I was taught: IS over OF, PERCENT over 100.
Is/of × %/100
Is = x
Of = 347
Percent = 67X/347 × 67/100
Multiply 347×67=23, 249
Divide by 100232.49 is 67% of 347.

In traditional tanning different chemicals are used to process leather. Brains, egg yolks, urine, they all work. The urine isn’t a requirement, it a possible chemical compound a tanner may choose to utilize.

He is the definition of absentee father sending his kid off to be raised by his human grandparents and rarely if ever speaking of him. And when his kid is understandably upset about it Worf gets pissy at his son for having emotions about it.

Free labor. Gotta know early if you’ll do redundant useless tasks without compensation.

- Comment on Handy tip 2 months ago:
It’s like knowing a cow is the room next door. You are aware of the cow but you can’t see it. If someone says the cow is brown, you are now aware the cow in the room next door is a brown cow but you can’t see it because it’s in another room. Except the other room is your mind.
I don’t need to see a cow to imagine it in the next room. Same concept.
It’s easy to figure out if you have aphantasia. Think of a cow. Do you see a cow?
It’s not a condition or a disability, it’s just a different way that some brains work. Don’t fall into the trap of - it’s outside the majority so it must be a deficiency. Most people with aphantasia don’t even know they have it.
Also, strangely I can rotate a cow in my mind, but there is no visual feedback. I “feel” the cow rotating. I choose where in the physical space to project the imagined cow and there is the imagined “physical” sensation of the cow spinning as if it’s an extension of my mind. I can imagine sound as well. But I don’t see anything.

Absol-fucking-lutely they would. 14 year old me was dealing with some bullshit and would be ecstatic that we got through it and that things got better. Kudos to anyone who survived their teens and come out even mildly well adjusted, much less happy.

I have a few theories.
- Comment on How do I drink more water? 3 months ago:
Why do you think you’re chronically dehydrated? Is your urine brown? Have you been fainting? Do you have kidney stones? (I don’t actually want to know - please don’t share your personal health information on the internet - but if the answer to any of those questions is yes please see a doctor.) Otherwise if the answer to those questions is “no” you are likely getting more then enough hydration. It’s a myth that we need 8 glasses of water a day or need to be constantly drinking water to be “hydrated.” Just keep your water of choice available and drink when you are thirsty. You don’t need to (and shouldn’t) force yourself to drink beyond that. Our bodies are really good at self regulation and forcing more fluid into our system just equates to extra unnecessary trips to the bathroom. You don’t need to force yourself to “like” water. If it’s the only thing you have on hand to drink you’ll drink it when you get thirsty.
