That’s true…
Dick Tracy then!
Technically Tintin…? 🤣

Well I didn’t lose it, it just got FUBARed by something big. Either landed on it or tried to take it away. All peppers gone too, right when they were starting to turn red :(

I assume so. I have had critters gorging on my ghosts and reapers in the garden. Losing an entire plant overnight was the last straw so I have webbing up now, but they were clearly unaffected.

I thought they were just getting the hostages back…
- Comment on Why do people like the Punisher comics? 6 days ago:
A character doesn’t need superpowers to be interesting. People can enjoy the Punisher despite him being “just a guy who shoots people with a gun” in the same way people enjoy “John Wick”, Judge Dredd, “Taken”, Jason Bourne, “Die Hard”, or any movie starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.
How did you get through all of that without pointing out Batman?
- Comment on AI slop is ruining all of our favorite places to scroll 1 week ago:
There were those that tried, especially with memes, but they’ve been hanged, drawn, and quartered.
Now it’s just the small band of pro-AI users that go blank whenever someone explains how generative AI works.

And the hippie mums dig it.
- Comment on Developer survey shows trust in AI coding tools is falling as usage rises 1 week ago:
It’s just Markov chains running on a heap of poorly governed sources. Expensive because Markov chains are brutish to process.
But processors get faster and faster to calculate and conclude a chain rapidly. I could see why people think it’s intelligence since it is chains running through sources of human intelligence, but it’s not. It’s simple math from the late-1800s and we’ve been using it for predicting many things for a long time. Funnily enough, language was what Markov started with.
- Comment on And nothing of value was lost 1 week ago:
I once got called a Nazi and a Communist at the same time.
It was in response to a remark about social healthcare systems, which I can’t deny both Marx and the Nazis’ NSV were all for that. But one could note some slight differences in opinion on how to go about it, plus a few other little things here and there.

Alright, you two. Time for bed.
- Comment on Is it okay to cover the outside of a microwave in aluminum to prevent or lessen microwave WiFi interference? 1 week ago:
My first thought is its not the microwave unless they’re multitasking TV dinners and League of Legends a few times each evening.
I just got this hunch it’s something like clogged channels or something, but OP thinks a microwave just sitting there is the issue. But that seems just as unusual.
- Comment on Can any scientists confirm this important fact? 1 week ago:
My dog gives me stuff all the time. At first I thought it meant he wanted to play with the object, but, nope. He’s just spent the last fifteen minutes fighting the other dog away from it, running around the house with it in his mouth. Then when he’s finally “won”, he gently places it down right in front of me, sits and stares at my eyes, “This is very important to us dogs, but I love you the most, so you can have it.”
picks up slobbered cow hoof with a pinch “Thank you so much, buddy! How about I hold it, you can chew; we can share.”
He does do this with the other dog at times too, though. Usually when she’s calmed down and snoozing, he’ll bring a treat over to her, watch her accept it, and goes on his way.
Gifting is his love language.

That said, I don’t like that after playing Suzerain my queue still gets other “Visual Novel” recommendations.

Sony Pictures appears at the start of many awful films. I think it’s their thang.
- Comment on LibreOffice calls out Microsoft for using "complex" file formats to lock in Office users 3 weeks ago:
It’s been like that since the files got X on the end; docx, xlsx, pbix. They are just zip files containing XML and stuff. This is how you can turn off any password protection of a file, change to zip, disable protection in the XML, change the extension back.

Jeremy didn’t get laid todayClearly I remember
Pickin’ on the boy
Seemed a harmless little mollusc
Oh, but we unleashed a hedgehog
Gnashed his radula
Shot darts at mantles
How could I forget
He hit me with a surprise bump
My shell left hurtin’
Oh, tipped right over
Just like the day
Like the day I heardScientists tried to give affection
But the boy was something she wouldn’t mate

Play fireworks compilations on YT to desensitise. My dogs sleep through fireworks. They’ll some times bark but it’s because they hear other dogs barking down the road.

The US sees an item not referred to by a corporate brand name, and wouldn’t have it.
They’re not alone in it, but their suseptiblity to macro-marketing can only be described as “American level”.

I’ve had someone recognise I’m a drummer because of the way my leg bounce made the bench move. Apparently my anxiety ticks groove.

It would be quicker to either:

The words quote the show? They feel more 80s–90s at most.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
The image on the left is purely about living a life conforming to conservative social stereotypes based on gender. They believe in them so much they change for them. It’s like an innocent version of still thinking other skin colours are inferior, and enjoying the idea of playing the characters you saw in 1940s Looney Tunes cartoons.
- Comment on Young men are 'playing videogames all day' instead of getting jobs because they can mooch off of free healthcare, claims congressman 1 month ago:
Meanwhile the unemployment rate continues to be troublingly low, begging the question, “If not for immigration, who’s going to fill the new fancy All-American manufacturing industries?”
