- Comment on Trump Signals New Tariffs on Chips, Calling Exclusions Temporary 23 hours ago:
Are we calling him flip flopper or treasuring him with the chankla? Cuz I’m here for both.
- Comment on If the USA and China goes to war, how likely will Chinese-Americans end up in "internment camps" like what happened to Japanese-Americans during WW2? 2 days ago:
There’s no “people” involved in that decision. There’s Trump. If he barred any public opinion he wouldn’t be half as destructive as he is.
- Comment on A funny thing about Americans and calendar dates 2 days ago:
What Americans are calling people idiots for saying <day> of <month>? We say it both ways all the time. 4th of July, July 4th… it’s not a complicated thing.

Nah, you need patience. Another week and they’ll be perfect.
- Comment on ‘Power Rangers’ Writer Says ‘It Was a Mistake’ to Cast Black and Asian Actors as Black Ranger and Yellow Ranger: ‘None of Us’ Were ‘Thinking Stereotypes’ 5 days ago:
You’re probably remembering the 2nd generation of the Mighty Morphin Rangers era, the one with the Thunderzords. Some of the cast leave (yellow, black, red, and pink Rangers) and get new recruits that take their place.

- Comment on Peak Trump Performance 1 week ago:
Definitely worth the millions of tax payers dollars. And this guy definitely just won a tournament on his own course fair and square a month ago, I’m sure. Our Dear Leader.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 week ago:
I’m guessing he first encountered the word in text without having heard it and his brain guessed it rhymes with “jaguar”, which is understandable.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 week ago:
So on the one hand, I think you are going to find almost nobody agrees with your pronunciation. On the other hand, you should wear your mispronunciations with pride because what that tells me is that you were a reader growing up and likely came about this word the first time in text without any other context, maybe even many times before you heard it spoken. Your brain made an educated guess (I’m guess pulling from the pronunciation of “jaguar”?). It got it wrong, but understandably so, and it has cemented in your brain. Fix it if you care to, but no real need. Either way, kudos for being a young reader.
- Comment on How do you pronounce "centaur" and why? 1 week ago:
Sehn-tar, because I am American and that’s how I learned to say it. How am I meant to justify a common pronunciation?

Cute girl: “Oh, Light, you’re so cute. Let me give you my number.” … “Oh shoot, do you have a piece of paper I can borrow?”
Light: “Uh, yeah…” absentmindedly rips piece of the Death Note out “Uh, here you go…”
Cute girl: scribbles number on page “and there you go, cutey” walks away
Light: looks at paper “Oh… Oh no. ‘555-5555 TTYL, Light Yagami’? … Fuck.”
L: *rips off cute girl disguise" “Heh.”

- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 1 month ago:
It was certainly a waste of my Family Video rental fee
- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 1 month ago:
There are 4 sequels. I think I have only seen most of 2 and a part of 3. They’re super low budget and completely miss the point, as I recall.
- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 1 month ago:
Sacrifice your body, mind and autonomy to the system. Kill to protect property. Make every waking moment about maintaining and advancing our corporate overlords’ wealth and control.
This is the way.
- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 1 month ago:
With only about 34% of his body remaining.
- Comment on hate your job? how about you die and still have to do it 1 month ago:
In all fairness, the Starship Troopers sequels forget the point of the first film too. And the fact that movies are supposed to be watchable.

Those are not female presenting nipples. Those are moobs if ever I’ve seen em.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 month ago:
I’m all software/data engineer, so for work I obviously use a computer all the time. I also have a very nice personal computer but it doesn’t get as much use anymore as it used to. I play the occasional game on it, use it for tracking our budget/finances and stuff once a month, manage my plex server, and do the occasional random task on it that requires things like typing or photo editing. But it’s not been getting a lot of attention since I finished school, even less since having my daughter.
My phone is my main device for most of my entertainment, web surfing, news reading, banking, etc. plus it keeps my todos/shopping lists, my wife and I’s shared calendar, my alarms, digital coupons for groceries, GPS… all of my regular day to day task helpers. Not to mention is takes and stores my photos, allows me to call and text people, and gives me mobile access to my cloud files and services. It’s definitely my primary device.
But I still love me computer and wish I had more time to do my own work on it.
- Comment on Zelensky Rejects Trump Administration Demand for Half of Ukraine’s Mineral Resources 1 month ago:
No shit, what incentive does he have? “Give me half of your mineral resources, and I will let Russia have everything they want from you? Refuse, and I will pull back support and let Russia try to get everything they want from you.”
You know what is next right? This fucking supervillain wannabe is going to flip the script and arm Russian troops or send forces to help Russia take over Ukraine for refusing. At the very least, he will threaten it to get what he wants from Ukraine. Mark my words. We have spent decades building a military that has (ostensibly) policed and defended the world, and now the fucking Blofeld parody dumber than Dr. Evil is at the reigns and will use that military to threaten and extort sovereign nations and allies across the world to gain whatever he wants on this day of the week. This is the worst and stupidest fucking timeline!

Well they better be, because if a wheelchair bound person makes it down thoae stairs, they are going to be there for a while and may need to use the toilet.

- Comment on The one drawback to walking at night 2 months ago:
My suburb neighborhood is filled with walkers and it is super unsafe at night. They decided when they built it that they didn’t want to to create and maintain sidewalks and street lamps, so people always walk in the road and the only lights are the lamp posts at the end of people’s driveways. And almost nobody wears reflectives, or carries lights or anything on their person. Particularly when you’re blinded by an oncoming car’s lights, it’s nearly impossible to see people until you’re right up on them.
- Comment on Steven Seagal Movie Out For A Kill Is So Lazy He Fights Sitting Down - Worst Movie Ever 2 months ago:
I never really watched many action movies growing up, so I had never seen and Steven Seagal films, but I did know of him and mentally put him at the level of like Van Damme. I’m the last few years it’s become apparent that he’s pretty much a complete joke, and basically always has been. But I don’t think He was recognized as such at his peak, was he? Did people always think he was cringe or were his films and performances actually received with earnest appreciation and applause?
- Comment on Hogwarts Legacy Official Mod Support Confirmed For This Week 2 months ago:
Yes, and you can’t divorce the fact that she profits from all official media associated with the Harry Potter and paying for said media inescapable enriches her more. However, it is also true that the team that made this game did an amazing job of a creating a hogwarts/ Wizarding world that feels real and amazing, that they do not support her bigotry, and that included a non-token well-respected open trans character who gets to share her story as part of the main quest line of the game. Supporting the game is not, in itself, support of trans bigotry. It’s complicated.
- Comment on Can someone go check on Cincinnati? I think they might be having some mental health issues. 2 months ago:
Someone in our sister office bought one for people to sample today. The one review I heard was that it wasn’t bad, like salted pumpkin spice. That makes sense because Skyline chili is not chili. I’ve been calling it pumpkin spice meat sauce for years.
