What’s mildy infuriating is your attempt to advertise your app here. I have ad blockers, but I kind of suspect this site has ads on it somewhere.
- Comment on What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up? 1 year ago:
No reason in particular. I can’t get interested in video games anymore. So I have unintentionally replaced my free time playing video games with reading. If I could manage to get interested in a video game then I would still play it.
- Comment on What's special about Misskey that Mastodon doesn't have? 1 year ago:
It seems to be primarily for a Japanese audience.
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 1 year ago:
I see. If someone is yelling obscenities at you then its probably ok to yell at them too although I wouldn’t bother personally. I don’t think this poll can mean anything though as I imagine everyone has different understandings of what a “speaker” is and is doing.
- Comment on How is it that we hate the taste of coffe and still drink it? 1 year ago:
It seems taste buds vary a lot too. 😅
- Comment on How is woke a religion? 1 year ago:
What does it mean to “Shout down a speaker”? What are they speaking about and what is the purpose of shouting at them?
- Comment on How is it that we hate the taste of coffe and still drink it? 1 year ago:
The taste of coffee varies a lot. Instant coffee takes bad to me, but grinding my own coffee beans and making it fresh with a little bit of cream is amazing.
- Comment on What hobbies did you pick up during the pandemic and have you been able to keep them up? 1 year ago:
I started reading regularly. Been doing it for a few years now. I think it was exactly what I needed in my life. I pretty much cut off playing video games and replaced it with books. 👍
- Comment on The amount of spam texts I get from Republican campaigns 1 year ago:
How is this not illegal, but sending spam emails is? What a messed up world.
- Comment on How can I be less competitive about social media engagement? 1 year ago:
- Comment on Totally not a ad company! 1 year ago:
I dream of an ad free future.
- Comment on [Hypothetical] What would have happened if the US Supreme Court had arbitrarily declared Donald J. Trump the winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election? Constitutional Crisis? 1 year ago:
Your link doesn’t lead to anything, but if you are trying to suggest the supreme arbitrarily decided Bush won the presidency then that is factually incorrect. There was a court case about Florida’s ballots in particular that happened to be enough to decide the outcome of the presidential election.
- Comment on [Hypothetical] What would have happened if the US Supreme Court had arbitrarily declared Donald J. Trump the winner of the 2020 US Presidential Election? Constitutional Crisis? 1 year ago:
The supreme court doesn’t decide the president of the unite states so probably nothing would happen.
- Comment on Upvoting a factually incorrect comment because it sounds nice, and downvoting a factually correct comment because it sounds bad. 1 year ago:
I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. Lots of bandwagoning going on. It is what it is though. People are fallible and often just follow the herd instead of thinking.
- Comment on Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks? 1 year ago:
Traps are technically illegal.
- Comment on Are smart door locks more or less secure than traditional door locks? 1 year ago:
If there is no keyhole to pick then it is probably marginally more secure, but if a burglar wants to get into your home then no door lock is going to stop them. They could just break it or break your windows.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
I don’t like it any more than anyone else. I believe social media has a negative impact on children and likely all people who use it.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
I have no idea what you are on about. Your response is completely baffling to me. 🫤
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
I don’t have any expectations. I’m not making a judgement. Just an observation.
- Comment on Do younger people go home earlier now? Or go out less? Is it since COVID? 1 year ago:
Kids seem depressingly lethargic these days. They will probably doomscroll tiktok instead of going out with friends.
- Comment on Well then, maybe don't give me an Ad every 3 songs? 1 year ago:
I’ve been using an mp3 style walkman for awhile. There’s something about dedicated single purpose electronics that is so comfy. They also just work as the software is always barebones simple.
- Comment on wow thats great mate cheers helpful 1 year ago:
Profitting from free user generated content is uncool. 👍
- Comment on [deleted] 1 year ago:
She could have used that $12k as part of a down payment on her own place… what on earth is she thinking.
- Comment on Would the internet be significantly faster if there wasn't so much farming of metadata / cookies? 1 year ago:
Web pages of today have so much added on nonsense. It’s not necessarily data farming, but also the frameworks used to develop the website themselves. Modern websites are basically entire software running in the browser even when it is used to run a simple seemingly static page. The purpose of these frameworks is to make complex things more simple for developers to make, but then people end up using them in situations that might not call for it. I think there is a general belief that since computers keep getting more powerful that it is fine to keep making software bigger and less efficient.
- Comment on EBAY Prices 1 year ago:
I think you are right with old listings and then maybe new people looking at old listings to make new listings without verifying.
- Comment on EBAY Prices 1 year ago:
Scalping I can understand completely, but this is a thing that is still made and available all over the place.

Thanks. I might look into the endless things from 2+ years ago that are on sale now. Probably not though. Too many books to read. 😵💫
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
Being a patient gamer isn’t strictly about money. It’s about not getting caught up in hype and making more calculated decisions. Even so, wanting to pay what you think something is worth is just good practice.
- Comment on [MEGATHREAD] Starfield - Your experiences! 1 year ago:
I’ll let you know in 2 years when it is on sale for at least 50% off.
