- Comment on Why have an adversarial legal system? 12 hours ago:
Because the two sides are biased and each have their own opinions and you need a less biased 3rd party to decide?
- Comment on How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*? 1 day ago:
I’ll agree with what others are saying about speculation but I’ll add a few points…
Meme investing. People just buy shit now. You can download Robinhood or any other free app and buy something you read about because you feel like it. That’s a lot different than traditional stock valuation. And in some cases (GameStop?) the public can have such force that it massively overwhelms traditional stock valuation
The other point is that businesses will still function. Will it suck to have a 20+% tariff? Yes. Will in end a massive global corporation? No.

Is streameast bad now? Haven’t used it in a while
- Comment on Is this a sign of mental illness or just asshole behavior? 6 days ago:
It’s just the way I am, I’m neurodivergent with mental illness
That’s… idiotic and childish. I mean, it’s a kid, so the childish part makes sense.
At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter. Even if she’s borderline, that doesn’t mean she’s an incurable asshole.

Wanna be a bit more specific? This is a very strange story. You need a criminal defense attorney or something?
- Comment on this year has been pretty fun so far 1 week ago:
I mean, you do you. But I don’t pick fights with cancer kids who are dying. Who cares if he’s the only music they’ve ever heard?
- Comment on this year has been pretty fun so far 1 week ago:
Ok… you said “no” to a bunch of dying kids who said “my dying wish is to meet you” and then you brag about it?
- Comment on Is there any way I can realistically send a message to Donald Trump and have him read it? 1 week ago:
how desperate are you to have him read your message? If you sign up for Truth Social and spend your entire day hitting “refresh,” I bet he’d read it if you can be the first reply to one of his posts
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
That is super generic and could be anyone.
- Comment on Why the 2020 video game Immortals: Fenyx Rising doesn't infringe on the trademark of the 2011 film Immortals? 2 weeks ago:
Not true at all.
A movie name might not get protected from, say, a food. Those are not related. Trademark protection can apply across media though, especially when it’s something similar like movies and video games (again, contrast that to movies and food)
- Comment on What is the weirdest argument you’ve overheard? 2 weeks ago:
“Grandpa, Israel isn’t a state, it’s a country!”
This was a woman in her 20s, if I had to guess

And go where? With what money?

- Comment on This is a JOKE. Its NOT real. But how about a law that forbids masturbation 3 weeks ago:
It is, quite literally, a joke. The point is to mock conservatives
- Comment on Anyone else suddenly itching to blast Nazis in Wolfenstein for no reason at all? 4 weeks ago:
I was literally googling earlier today to see if there were any updates on the next installment. Maybe it was subconsciously influenced by current events?

What, did you turn go straight from 16 to 30?
- Comment on What's the deal with male loneliness? 1 month ago:
Toxic gender norms hurt everyone.
I think this is exacerbated by certain people online who want to capitalize on the issue and scapegoat others (feminism) instead of actually addressing the problem
- Comment on Why is it considered sexist to ask women to smile? 1 month ago:
And they say it’s because “you’re prettier when you smile” or something like that?

There are some circumstances where it makes sense. If you have a disability in the US, you cannot have money or you’ll lose your benefits
