- Comment on How do people survive in America? This is with insurance! 7 hours ago:
Psh, that’s nothing. I’ve got an injectable med I need to take every 3 months. My insurance covers it, thank fucking christ - because unadjusted, it costs over $20,000 per dose. No, I’m not kidding, or exaggerating. Yes, I was absolutely disgusted when I learned that.

- Comment on Harvard Places Math Professor Martin Nowak on Paid Administrative Leave Over Epstein Ties 1 day ago:
…how is that your takeaway from my comment?
Of course that’s entirely heinous. I was just remarking on the fact that the guy fucking put Epstein in the dedication of his textbook on top of that. It’s just an extra layer of gratuitous, gleeful evil kind of beggars belief.

In a broad sense: simply employing the most basic principles of game theory.

- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 1 week ago:
Yeah, I get that - but you can find some pretty cheap iirc, and if it’s a thing that prevents you from using an otherwise perfectly fine pair of earbuds, it might be worth a shot, especially if it’s just an extra $10 or so.
- Comment on Earbud question: Does anyone actually like to silicone tipped earbuds over the solid plastic ones? 1 week ago:
Have you tried any differently-sized tips? Or aftermarket memory foam ones? The latter basically gives you an absolutely perfect seal, as the foam will softly expand to meet the dimensions of your ear canal.

But seriously, I don’t think the regime is going to volunteer rebates. I think they’re going to hold on to the cash until and unless corporations and individuals who have paid those tariffs sue the government and win.
- Comment on In hindsight why was/is america upset they elected a leader who constantly lies while making fun of politicians literally and figurativly for years that they lie there ass off? Y B Shocked? 2 weeks ago:
I was furious that I felt like I was essentially forced to vote for Harris, but I did, as a tactical electoral decision.
But very obviously, there are an absolutely enormous amount of people here who are sick to death of corporatist neoliberal bullshit that the Democratic rank and file consistently perpetrates, while seemingly under the impression that everyone’s too dumb to realize that’s what’s going on.
Well, their bluff got called - and yes, it happened in just about the worst context it possibly could have, but then again, the DNC thought they could phone it in (yet again) and it blew the fuck up in their face. The Democratic Party absolutely deserved that outcome (not to mention: pretty much all of the party leaders appear to have learned absolutely nothing from this shitshow). It’s just an absolute tragedy that said outcome also has the implication of fully destroying any remaining vestige of Pax Americana, any pretense of altruism in American foreign policy and geopolitical action, democracy itself in the US, and perhaps even the US itself in the mid- to long-term (i.e. I would not be terribly shocked if the US ends up balkanized in the coming decade or two). And it was all predictable and avoidable, and nothing was done because, in addition to a complete and total lack of political will, too many people were making too much money for too long of a time, and didn’t want any of that shit disrupted.
Anyways I’m gonna go have a cig or something, jesus fucking fuck

I do love how a term from SW:(T)CW is being used as an epithet against LLM/generative slop.
But ackshually I also have to point out that the image is from SW:CW, which is pretty much devoid of dialogue, while the line comes from SW:TCW 🤓

It is utterly insane that so many of those fucking idiots decided to try to not only normalize adult diapers, but portray them as something aspirational. Like… what in the Kentucky fried fuck.
- Comment on Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards 3 weeks ago:
I am genuinely mystified at how you can call me a “privileged twat” for being a conscientious traveler and tourist, and expecting the same from others as a baseline - because again, when you are a tourist, you are a guest.
We are not talking about refugees here. We are talking about people who have enough cash to drop on a vacation to a foreign country, and then they go and shit in someone’s yard. That’s simply unacceptable - and, yes, uncivilized. This is not a controversial point to anyone, except you.
- Comment on Japan cancels cherry blossom festival over complaints of tourists littering and ‘defecating’ in yards 3 weeks ago:
Common sense is that tourists don’t shit in yards without extreme circumstances forced upon them.
Lmfao do you even hear yourself? Where the fuck do you live? Common sense is you don’t shit in random people’s yards. I’m not endorsing violent response to that sort of thing, but if you were to try that in, say, San Antonio, TX, you’d get shot.
