- Comment on Tariff 1 week ago:
Better than handing all of the developing world to China on a golden platter, while crippling our entire economy.
- Comment on Tariff 1 week ago:
Y’all remember TPP. Guess what that was about? Who tanked that again?
That’s right, just shut the fuck up.
- Comment on Are most people here left-wing? 1 week ago:
Right wingers have, or cause, trouble in open forums, so most social media that isn’t operated as a walled garden, tends to be more left leaning.
- Comment on Best doctor advice to stop falling in the shower 3 weeks ago:
Like anyone can afford to talk to a doctor any more.
- Comment on Win win 3 weeks ago:
National parks have squat for cell coverage.
- Comment on Schumer, Facing Backlash for Not Forcing a Shutdown, Says He’ll Take ‘the Bullets’ 4 weeks ago:
He doesn’t need to take bullets, he just need to take the exit, and get out.
- Comment on He's totally not a Nazi tho 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, he’s one of the soft targets that should be hiding in a bunker if Trump decides to invade Canada. Not because it would save him, but it saves time on burial if he’s already underground.
- Comment on Can trump make it so I can sell my citizenship for 5 million dollars? 1 month ago:
Exchange it quick and get out.
- Comment on Elon Musk Calls Social Security 'The Biggest Ponzi Scheme Of All Time' 1 month ago:
Supporting your country isn’t a ponzi scheme.
- Comment on The Highest-Paid Actors Of 2024 (Including all earnings, film salaries, & other forms of income) - The Rock Tops the List with $88M 1 month ago:
Half income on that list is just actors knowing to invest their money rather than blow it all.
- Comment on Elon Musk shocks the country as he reveals the 'biggest Ponzi scheme of all time' he's unmasked through DOGE 1 month ago:
He’s calling supporting your country a ponzi scheme. He has no patriotism, and has no respect for America. He should have his citizenship revoked.
- Comment on Why don't states in the US come up with their own health insurance program? So people can pay into it prolly less then what they pay now and the state put the money in a bank and use the interest for 1 month ago:
Part of the problem is Medicare is already taxing for healthcare. A state creating their own system would have to tax on top of that, and duplicate the administration of it.
It’s kind of like states trying to stop using daylight savings on their own. Technically they can, but only after getting all of congress and the president to agree.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
He wasn’t against gay rights, would probably be the best description. He specifically avoided the topic while campaigning in order to avoid his earlier controversy entrapping men from the Navy by sending men out to have sex with them. Not because he hated gays, he was just given a job, and wasn’t against over doing it. Eleanor took a lesbian lover later on, and he hired a known gay man to serve in his cabinet. For the time, that’s about as progressive as it gets. In modern times, Gore was to the left of Obama and Biden socially.
- Comment on So, is the USA screwed? 1 month ago:
Bernie was more liberal, FDR ran and won 3 times on a more liberal platform.
- Comment on Kevin sounds nice! 1 month ago:
The choice was, be a friend, or be pig food. Kevin chose wisely.
- Comment on Looks legit, but can it actually be a real thing? 2 months ago:
Shorts covered with quartz sequins would scatter the image enough to blind the scanner. Make sure they’re mounted with glue instead of metal mounts, or they’ll fail the metal detector.
- Comment on Size of an adult Moose. And they are not as friendly as Bullwinkle 2 months ago:
Everyone involved in that picture is too close to that moose.
- Comment on Trump tariffed Columbia in response to not letting a plane of deported illegals in. 2 months ago:
He’s putting himself first, and America last. He’s so weak he couldn’t deal with Colombia before trying to sneak abused prisoners into their country.
He got played by Brazil putting the last plane load all over the media. Leading to Colombia stopping flights in the first place. Because his pea brain only sees making more people suffer as the next step to isolate America from the world and destroy our alliances.
- Comment on USA Question | How much is a dozen large eggs near you? 2 months ago:
Just bought a dozen today for $4.59
- Comment on [Elon Musk] January hasn't even ended and we already have the Photo of the Year. 2 months ago:
Remember back in January when it was wild to see Elon talking to radical right wing Germans?
- Comment on USians - Uh, *we've all seen this* right? 2 months ago:
I haven’t seen any corroboration of it yet, but it is exactly the fight they were having over TikTok. Not that China is stealing private data, that they would use the algorithm to affect the election.
And none of this is new people. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambridge_Analytica
They’re just putting into practice what they already learned and super charging it with AI agents.
- Comment on Feminists in their natural habitat of bigotry 2 months ago:
I see one of the right wing “Men’s Rights” advocates has escaped their programming center.
It’s all well and good to be offended by this trash, but consider that it’s being intentionally targeted to young men as a way to create loyal followers for political violence. The fascists these days aren’t going to wear brown shirts, they’re going to have a whole range of color choices.
- Comment on What is currently holding us back from mining in space? 3 months ago:
builtin.com/articles/top-space-mining-companies
Investment and systems development/integration. We have all the parts needed, but they’re expensive, and you can’t really just stuff them on a rocket and hope they’ll work. There’s a billion details to get straight before launching, and each detail costs a lot.

- Comment on Jimmy Carter was the end of an era in presidential politics 3 months ago:
Tomato tomahto, he was the last normal president before our politics were hijacked by the right.
They lost their damn minds over Nixon, and didn’t have a plan in place when Carter won.
- Comment on Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable? 3 months ago:
Check the neutral pin at the pedestal and the connection. After a few months running an AC unit, it’ll be char broiled somewhere along the way.
- Comment on How do we know the government doesn't just have a secret hardware backdoor in all our devices? 3 months ago:
Every phone has a radio with remote root access controlled by a security key that is supposedly only in the hands of the manufacturer. A manufacturer that could be forced to give up that key, and forced not to tell anyone they had done so.
At least with a PC you can control the physical access to transmission, giving you a way to possibly audit before send, and physically control all input.
The reality is that any large scale communication network will be breached by the controlling government, or it will be shut down. If you want actually secure communication, you have to do it by broadcasting in the clear using an unbreakable cypher that’s been physically passed on.
- Comment on Trump Transition Live Updates: Ethics Panel Draft Report Accuses Gaetz of ‘Regularly’ Paying for Sex and Using Drugs 3 months ago:
Who knew this and didn’t have him indicted? Isn’t that an accessory to the crime?
- Comment on US solar industry downplays climate in strategy for Trump era 4 months ago:
Solar makes more power, for less money, than coal, while employing more people locally. There’s just no argument for more fossil fuels.
- Comment on Keira Knightley Told ‘Love Actually’ Director on Set That Cue Card Scene Was ‘Creepy’ at 17 Years Old: I Had to ‘Redo It to Fix My Face to Make It’ Less Creepy 4 months ago:
And her on screen husband was 25 or 26 at the time.
