- Comment on ‘ICE Goes Masked for a Single Reason’ 16 hours ago:
“ICE goes masked for a single reason — to terrorize Americans into quiescence,” a federal judge, William Young, wrote in a blistering 161-page First Amendment ruling handed down last week. “In all our history we have never tolerated an armed masked secret police,” he continued. The judge, a Reagan appointee, compared immigration agents to “cowardly desperados and the despised Ku Klux Klan” and declared that federal efforts to deport outspoken protesters amounted to a “full-throated assault” on freedom of speech. “Carrying on in this fashion, ICE brings indelible obloquy to this administration and everyone who works in it.”
- Comment on Dog attacks are still rising - even after the XL bully ban 1 day ago:
No shit…
Because breed specific banning doesn’t work.
Problematic owners will just go back to dobermans, or one of the shit ton of speciality breeds with an even stronger bite.
I’ll never understand why so many people fall for breed specific bans when the Venn diagram with racists’ arguments are a single circle.

Context.
Some obscure question that’s been unanswered for months?
Sure, why not.
A political article that’s a couple days old and has a shit ton of comments tho… Yeah, it’s weird for people to jump back into those.
But the absolute worst that will happen is someone down votes and blocks you. Most likely they ignore it, maybe ask what you’re doing
It’s not a big deal.

- Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last? 5 days ago:
The problem is they’ll always be shitty fascists who think they should be in charge of everything.
And the majority of people only realize how bad that is when they lived thru it.
For an enduring free society, it needs to be a foundational belief that everyone is equal and has basic inalienable rights…
And before anyone says we tried that, their “everyone” was just “white landowning men”.

Literally no one is perfect, just like if someone was truly average in every respect, they’d be the most unique person who ever lived.
- Comment on New EA Owners Hoping AI Will Cut Costs And Boost Profits, It's Claimed 1 week ago:
This is a card game to them, they’re sitting at the table in Vegas and are doing anything they can to make it look like the company is valuable just long enough to con someone else into buying it.
It’s not even a card game, it’s lotto scratchers.
A card game implies they give thought and treat each situation unique and change strategies
They’re buying billion dollar companies left and right hoping for a quick payday because they’re obsessed with watching their bank account numbers go up.
- Comment on Disney+, Hulu Are Hiking Prices Again Next Month 2 weeks ago:
Reached by Variety, a rep for Disney declined to provide additional comment on the price hikes. It’s the third time in three years Disney is raising the prices of the streaming services in the U.S., after price hikes for Disney+ and Hulu in October 2024 and in October 2023. Disney provided notifications of the latest price hikes Tuesday on its customers support sites.
So, they’re just doing it every October?
And they were too money hungry to push it back a month or so this year to see if they can get any back?
Whoever runs as a D for president next needs to be a monopoly buster.
Like, at this point can we just get some dude from an FDR museum and tell him to just donate four year commitment?
We need his entire platform again, because neoliberal baby boomers fucked everyone over.
- Comment on Does it feel like the PS5's library is *severely* lacking compared to the PS4's around the same time in its lifecycle? 2 weeks ago:
but they’re putting out one game every generation
That wasn’t as big of a deal when it was a two year console cycle…
But I think for hardware and software, consoles keep wanting to hit metrics, because that’s what the parent company looks at.
The result is usually all flash and every game hitting the same points that were popular 5 years ago when development started
There’s no risks, so there’s no payoff. They have built in audiences so they still make money and keep getting paid.
Shit only changes when an I die game blows up and AAA try to integrate what made that game popular.
- Comment on Endless Legend 2 - Early Access Launch Trailer 2 weeks ago:
I wanted to love the original and sunk a lot of hours into it…
But it just never really scratched tgat HoMM itch like I wanted.
All the “endless” games seem super interesting and I love the never ending lore. It just feels like something is missing from all their games.
The new HoMM still just has “2025” as a release date, no idea when it’s actually releasing
- Comment on [META] Community discussion regarding AI & clickbait 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, I don’t like AI and don’t want to see it…
But as long as they tag it as [ai] and you don’t ban people when they down ote it, I don’t see why anything else needs done.
If someone just spam posts AI, I’d block them as soon as I noticed it.
As far as clickbait, requiring a short description of the video would handle it. But again, the community would just downvote those without it if they thought it was clickbait.
It’s /videos, it should be a general catchall for videos, even ones that are kinda shitty and most people don’t like.
- Comment on Trump Administration Wields Its Full Toolbox to Bring Media to Heel | ABC’s decision to “indefinitely” suspend Jimmy Kimmel’s late-night talk show illuminates the administration’s efficacy so far. 3 weeks ago:
They’re effective because the corp doesn’t lose money.
Disney can’t survive off just dollars from the right, they’re too fickle and demanding for a customer base the size Disney needs.
If everyone cancels they’re streaming and stops spending money Disney will switch sides.
They have the money to fight, they just won’t use it unless they’re in dangerous of losing more from lost business.
This is America, money talks.
- Comment on What is in for the antivax in a government? 3 weeks ago:
They absolutely think they are doing good…
Pretty unanimously, the most evil people to walk the planet all legitimately believe they’re the good guys.
Almost no one sees themselves as a villain, that’s just how the human brain is wired.
People not understanding this, is why evil shit keeps fucking happening.
If you just keep writing them off as “villains” doing evil for the sake of evil, we’ll never learn how to stop it. That literally why they keep coming back.
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 3 weeks ago:
That feeds back into what I was saying, it’s the same thing.
The first couple times you dick someone over for money, you’re gonna feel bad.
But everyone at the company is going to pat you on the back and say you’re a genius cuz numbers went up.
Anyone who says it wasn’t worth the numbers going up, gets fired.
The wealthy live in a bubble where the only people they interact with only care about money
Our whole capitalist society is a giant feedback loop that concentrates wealth and strips the wealthy of their humanity.
It’s not like there’s some problem where something is broken, this is the natural and logical result of how we’ve spent the last couple generations
Unregulated capitalism always ends in an oligarchy with most people penniless
- Comment on Borderlands 4 boss tells players "please get a refund from Steam if you aren't happy" as Randy Pitchford continues his very public crashout over the FPS's performance woes 3 weeks ago:
But then again, maybe he is just another CEO asshole and has always been lol.
When you fire everyone that disagrees with you, it doesn’t take long to loose the ability to handle criticism.
Like, there’s a very good chance this guy has had absolutely nothing but praise while “working” on this game. So now that people whose job doesn’t depend on making him feel like a genius are giving feedback, it literally breaks his brain.
He most likely genuinely believes the game is perfect and all the criticism is from “trolls and haters” who are just lying because their jealous of his genius.
There’s a reason this attitude is so pervasive among the wealthy.
- Comment on 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash 3 weeks ago:
Apparently the graphics are basically the same as 3, but performance is dog shit on even the best hardware and crashes are unavoidable.
When people complained, he said they need to use AI fake frame and upscale from 720. Which still wasn’t good performance.
It might get fixed later in updates. But this guy is handling so badly he might legitimately be mentally unwell. It’s at the point it’s weird he still has a job
- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 3 weeks ago:
Americans graduate from 12th at 17/18
So I think I’d have been 12, and it was a public generic school
And if that sounds too early, hunting season started like a week earlier than the class and another 12 year old in my class already had his license (lots did) but that kid climbed a fence with a loaded shotgun while hunting and blew off a couple of his toes.
So like, it’s hard to argue it was “too early” because the kids were already running around unsupervised with guns.
Before Columbine people would go hunting before school and if they didn’t get anything they’d come straight to school with their gun in the back window of their truck. After they just stopped leaving them clearly visible.
- Comment on how do school shooters know how to use guns? 3 weeks ago:
since kids aren’t usually allowed to train with guns
What?
I went to a rural school, and everyone had a “hunters education” class in like 7th grade. We never touched a gun but we could legally go hunting.
A shit ton of kids hunt, and most ranges are fine with kids if an adult is with them too.
Like, it varies state to state, but in lots of areas it’s weird for someone to graduate highschool before shooting a gun.
But besides all that, guns aren’t difficult.
so can any person with no expirience technically just pick up a gun and start shooting people?
So yeah, pretty much.

I understand why so many people keep telling you specifically not to go to college now at least
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
What?
, just go into the trades instead.” This view seems increasingly common, and it’s worrying. There’s a trend of glorifying blue-collar work while demeaning white-collar paths, as if pursuing higher education is somehow less valid. Young people should be encouraged to reach for higher education and intellectual growth, not steered toward careers that can wreck their bodies with manual labor.
It sounds like you’re upset that some people are saying you should go to school for something that will have available jobs…
By all means, if you want to be an unemployed coder, go into coding.
- Comment on Therapists are secretly using ChatGPT. Clients are triggered. 5 weeks ago:
They’re not “triggered” they’re pissed their doctor is offloading work to a chatbot and violating HIPAA because the chatbot retains everything you type into it for future training.
If shrinks are using chat it’s to do their work and not disclosing to patients and getting their consent…
That’s a huge liability in multiple legal aspects
- Comment on Do I fit into any subculture? (I'm from the UK if that helps) 5 weeks ago:

- Comment on Mastodon says it doesn't 'have the means' to comply with age verification laws 5 weeks ago:
I mean, kind of…
That means individual server owners have to decide for themselves if they believe an age verification component is a necessary addition.
The laws are written for capitalism. Not an open source code base that lets literally anyone create an instance of their own.
So “Mastodon” might have lawyers and shit, but a tiny instance with 100 people would just get shut down, or maybe even charges.
It sounded great at first, till I got to the part they were just passing the buck to smaller instances.
