“Is that right? I had heard an alternate theory…”
You’re definitely wrong, and I know more about this than you do.

Nah, the hairs don’t cooperate. If I cut away all the curly strands that stick out, I have no beard.
- Comment on Fucking genetics 1 week ago:
That’s also true. Also, Leonidas from 300 was the reason I grew it out, but it’s all curly and hoboish.

This is me, except replace the second photo with Robin Williams in Jumanji after he comes out of the game.
- Comment on If I shut off the internet how many days do you think it would take before people lose their minds? 2 weeks ago:
There have been several high-profile systemic failures in the past few years that give us a glimpse into the hypothetical you’re describing. Most interruptions have lasted mere hours, if not minutes, before causing mass panic and devastating economic catastrophes. Planes are grounded, banks stop operations, global trade shuts down, and hospitals can’t access patient records.
The question isn’t how long before it would be a huge problem. That starts immediately. The better question is, how long before people adapt to a world without the internet? How long would it take to build an alternative?
- Comment on God did not intend for us to fold fitted sheets, and if you can it's witchcraft. 3 weeks ago:
It’s not rocket surgery.
Stand up with the sheet.
Place your hands inside two adjacent corners so the elastic is at your wrists.
Bring your hands together, folding the sheet in half, and flip one corner over the other hand so that one is tucked in the other.
With your free hand, reach down and gather the other two ends which are not tucked.
Let go of the tucked corners, which will slip apart again.
Curse the gods, and then roll the crumpled mess between your arms until it’s small enough to stuff into a closet or drawer.
Profit.

Fake outrage was funnier when we didn’t have real problems to argue about.
- Comment on I do it at least 35 times just in case 3 weeks ago:
Right? Like, maybe the precursors to cancer reduce libido?
- Comment on Those were the good old days 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, but like a four foot turkey with sharp teeth and talons. I’m not sure I win that fight.
Like, I’m pretty sure I could beat up a 10 year old kid. That’s about the size (if not the strength) of a velociraptor. But if that kid is all coked up, has kitchen knives in each hand and a football helmet with razors on the face mask, I’m not nearly as confident. Then if there’s a second one waiting to attack from the flank, then fuck that.

This is the guy in charge of medical advice for the United States. Lacking even basic scientific knowledge.
- Comment on I'm gonna die on this hill or die trying 5 weeks ago:
I still double space after a period, because fuck you, it is easier to read. But as a bonus, it helped me prove that something I wrote wasn’t AI. You literally cannot get an AI to add double spaces after a period. It will say “Yeah, OK, I can do that” and then spit out a paragraph without it. Give it a try, it’s pretty funny.
- Comment on Why do people say "as sweet as canned beans"? 5 weeks ago:
Who says that?
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I just switched to Jellyfin because of the Plex updates to their accounts, but I miss Plexamp. I considered running both Jellyfin and Plex just for plexamp, but I’m wary that they might eventually paywall remote audio streaming, too.
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
Thanks!
- Comment on Is anyone NOT steaming their Music? 5 weeks ago:
What’s your preferred client? I switched from plexamp to fintunes, but I really hate the app and the lack of functionality.
- Comment on Freaks 5 weeks ago:
Hydrophobia is another term for an active Rabies infection. Rabies is assumed to be the source of many mythological creatures, including werewolves and vampires. So if you offer someone water, and they refuse, best to poke them with something silver and sharp just to see how they react.
- Comment on Wireless charging is the dumbest invention ever created 1 month ago:
When wireless charging was announced, every layperson out there started imagining their homes filled with powerful waves of harmless energy that would keep their devices charged and eliminate the need for all wires. People thought we could have LED bulbs that pull volts out of the air and provide light for your dining room.
Wireless charging is slightly more convenient than plugging your phone in to a usb c. But it’s also slower. I have a wireless charger next to a wired charger, and 90% of the time I plug in because it’s faster, and I can still use my phone while it charges.

What about muscle with a protective insulation coating? Like I can flex em and make em dance, but they’re definitely under a layer.

Looks neat. I’m a comic book fan, so I’ll probably pick it up eventually, if it ever goes on sale. Or not, if it sucks.

Oh yes, I’m with you on flannel shirts. I have one, and it’s warm and soft and my wife likes to cuddle me while I’m wearing it. But it’s relatively new. In my grunge era, I had some ratty, worn flannels that I threw away when I sold out.
Also, I have a lot of black tee shirts, but I wear other colors, too.

Ok, but when is it definitely a pec?

WTF is invisible lat syndrome, and why am I certain I have it?

I’m the guy in the shirtless photo, but the rest is not accurate.
Well ok I have a long beard, but it’s mot my personality.
- Comment on YouTube will let users booted for 'repeated violations' of COVID, elections policies 'rejoin' 1 month ago:
The better option is to simply stop using YouTube.
- Comment on Local TV Giants Boycott Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Late Night 1 month ago:
I agree completely, and that’s my point. They think they are hurting Kimmel, but they are highlighting for everyone what piles of human shit they are. If I were a Sinclair customer, I’d be livid that they were making those decisions for me.
- Comment on Local TV Giants Boycott Jimmy Kimmel’s Return to Late Night 1 month ago:
Two possibilities here.
First, they have a lot of subscribers who want to watch Jimmy Kinmel (or who just care about free speech) and who will be more upset with oligarchical parasites than they will be with Kimmel.
Second, they don’t have a lot of subscribers who want to watch Jimmy Kinmel (or who just care about free speech) and who will be supportive of their oligarchical parasites, but weren’t going to tune in anyway.
Neither situation harms Kimmel even a little bit.
- Comment on Who the fuck needs an x axis anyway 1 month ago:
Because that’snot what the graph claims, and it is definitely not what the graph implies.
The graph says that there has been a 400% increase in the prevalence of autism. That’s not true, and is unsupported by the evidence. There has been a marked increase in the effective diagnosis and therapeutic interventions, but autism was largely undiagnosed and under-reported for almost all of human history. We’re still improving and refining the diagnostic criteria, and any changes in the number of cases should not be suggested to support any causal relationship with anything.
