- Comment on Couldn't big-tech shut out non-monopoly laws by saying that it's meant to be like that on "their" product? 4 days ago:
The really short answer is Apple doesn’t have a military to enforce their will on hostile governments.
Yet.
- Comment on Should I unplug my smart tv from the internet? 4 days ago:
Shit out of luck…. unless you run your own router and know how outbound firewall rules work. Granted the general public does not do either of those, but this is Lemmy.
- Comment on Recommendations for games to play on a treadmill (i.e. not too intense) 1 week ago:
I have played a few hundred hours of XCOM 2 on my treadmill. But I’ll play anything turn based that I can use a controller with. Steam controller takes care of the ones that need a mouse.

The rest of the animal isn’t around a hot dog casing.
- Comment on So if we're just good with careening into fascism 2.0 what does the future look like? 5 weeks ago:
That’s not a reason to avoid resistance. They created the situation. The violence is on them. Hopefully, literally.

Step one on new phone for anyone with ADHD. Otherwise the social costs are too high

The most important thing is to protect your mental health so you can function and be resilient.
Being informed on the chaos of the world is far behind that in the priority list. The radius you can impact is tiny compared to the rest of the world and the constant feed of atrocities you get hit with every day. And you don’t have unlimited attention to spend. Focus on what’s around you and making that better. The rest is, for the most part, noise that you have no control over whatsoever.

They aren’t gonna charge me shit because the first one was so dull I only got halfway through it.

Yeah . We might be the first generation that’s objectively correct when we say things used to be better.

I was just gonna go with “Who gives a shit?” but you put it better.

Have you been weezin’ da juice?
- Comment on Can deliberate noise harassment still be a crime if it's done every day from 7:30 AM till 10:30-11:30 PM? 2 months ago:
I’m an American so I don’t understand why you haven’t just put a couple 30 round mags through the wall with your AR-15?
- Comment on Am I weird for avoiding flying on prop planes, and only fly on jets? 2 months ago:
Why do you avoid them?
- Comment on These Have Been Found All Across Ancient Rome (Nobody Knows Why) 2 months ago:
Patently
- Comment on Does anyone use a phone without a protective case? 2 months ago:
I don’t use them. Or screen protectors . I take good care of my devices, and my phone gets its own pocket always, so no scratches. I’ve only broken 1 phone in my life and it was only the back glass on an iPhone 4, which slipped off my motorcycle seat because that fucking phone was frictionless.
- Comment on Can't fathom it 2 months ago:
I don’t get hungry often, at least not the way I think normal people do. I usually go from ‘fine’ to ‘more than mildly queasy’ in a couple minutes, then I have to rush to find something to throw in my stomach. It’s like flipping a light switch. This usually only happens when I have some project I’m focusing on.
- Comment on The Horrifying Evolution of Air Travel (Standing only airplane tickets) 13:30 2 months ago:
Yes it’s fucking sad I even had to put that disclaimer in there, because it’s not unthinkable anymore.
- Comment on The Horrifying Evolution of Air Travel (Standing only airplane tickets) 13:30 2 months ago:
Won’t happen unless the FAA itself gets dismantled. The list of common aviation events that would lead to significant injury in that scenario precludes it in any sane scenario. Clear air turbulence alone makes it untenable.

Pretty good opinion, NGL.

A game long enough that you die trying to finish watching it?
This is why I hate baseball.

Ok but what’s your medical opinion?
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 2 months ago:
I read something similar recently so I went to look it up. According to Donor Alliance:
“only 3 in 1,000 people pass away in a manner that allows for deceased organ donation”

Well my attitude is
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 2 months ago:
I am fine with isolating myself from evil.
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 2 months ago:
I do try. I actively boycott shitty companies (for 30 years and counting) and my list is long and swollen.
If more people took action on their principles our systems would be a lot less shitty.
Just because you can’t boycott everything doesn’t mean you should do nothing.
- Comment on What are the ethics behind purchasing a book from an author you don't agree with? 2 months ago:
“Everything sucks so do nothing” is exactly how evil stays in power.
- Comment on Why does (human) organ trafficking exist? 2 months ago:
The amount of people that donate organs is far lower than the need. We really ought to have an opt out system. Other people need your inside meat more than the embalmer does.
- Comment on ‘Alexa, what do you know about us?’ What I discovered when I asked Amazon to tell me everything my family’s smart speaker had heard 2 months ago:
I don’t really understand the authors point, if there even is one. They regale us with tales of how they wiretapped their family, but there is no lesson learned here. Don’t waste your time reading it like I did.

It is, except for the ones that come with built in APTs.
