• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Meta approves bonuses of up to 200% of company executives' salaries as it trims stock awards for employees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean, to be fair, the executive team writes 90% of the code. All the other employees are basically lazy and useless if it weren’t for the execs dragging them along.

  It’s sarcasm, stupid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨These are the text messages that allegedly got a former Bungie executive fired, according to a court document written by Sony⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  “Sony continues to disingenuously cherry pick text messages and alleged conversations,” said Barrett’s legal team in a message to Totilo at Game File. "

  Cherry picked? There shouldn’t be anything to cherry pick in the first place. His conduct was gross and was absolutely sexual harassment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it wrong/selfish to cut contact with my trump-supporting father?⁩ ⁨⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  No. I ended my relationship with my mother for voting for him a second time. She saw the harm he caused. She knew the harm he would cause to people I love. She is willfully blind to his faults. I can’t tolerate that anymore. Neither should you. Cut the cancer out and don’t look back.

  You’re not aloud to post such cuteness before 5am! (Pst)

  Has the, “I know you love me,” face.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How is the Stock Market keeping it's value after *points to everything*?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Investors understand that he’s going to do everything he can to transfer wealth to the top. That makes it safe to invest more because more will be coming in. That’s my casual guestimate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon sees a happy couple⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  Answer: staying off of 4chan.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Perth obstetrician denied bail over fatal crash that killed young woman⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You’re a medical doctor. You can afford an Uber when you’re drunk. Pathetic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why Tech Companies Are Joining the GOP-Oil Alliance⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Greed.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HP to build future products atop grave of flopped 'AI pin' • The Register⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  This makes about as much sense as when they licensed iPods from Apple to sell with HP branding.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mind if I get by?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  That is a fat gator. Must have eaten something large, so maybe not so hungry? I still wouldn’t try to find out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨So, is the USA screwed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  We’re on the way down. The Right in this country (well, really, everywhere, but it’s more maniacal here) are growing more unhinged. The Dems keep pulling to the right as a result (since at least the 80s). The overtone window keeps shifting. We’re absolutely fucked.

  William F Buckley was a major source of inspiration for the Right for decades. I recently watched his debate with James Baldwin at Cambridge in 1965. He argued racist points about Black single moms, but he tried to sound compassionate and denounced racism. He hid his racism in plain sight but sounded educated. There’s nothing like that now. “They’re eating the dogs.”

  This was funnier than any dumb joke deserves to be. I approve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not the Toll Roads Notification of Toll Evasion!!⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad the DMV has moved off their own domain and is now using Hotmail for email.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Dude did the work. Well done.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you express romantic interest in someone?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Ask them questions about themselves. You need to be genuinely interested, though. Faking it doesn’t work. At least not longterm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The best thing about having a lot of RAM is that you can have a ton of apps open with a ton of windows without closing them or slowing down. I have an unreasonable number of browser windows and tabs open because that’s my equivalent to bookmarking something to come back and read it later. It’s similar to if you’re the type of person for whom stuff accumulates on flat surfaces cause you just set stuff down intending to deal with it later. My desk is similarly cluttered with books, bills, accessories, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What can I actually do with 64 GB or RAM?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, it’s just fewer parameters. It’s not as “smart” at censorship or has less overhead to apply to censorship. This came up on Ed Zitron’s podcast, Better Offline.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Best way to turn off people and get lower tips⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I would ask to speak to mgmt and tell them that they’re hurting their staff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NSA is the only government instution that actually listens to you⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Damn. That got me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Why don’t these people go away.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How important is flirting within the dating scene?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Though I had a hot streak in my late twenties to early thirties, I was pretty lonely for a long time because I wasn’t finding anything substantial and then I couldn’t establish even short term relationships. I was pretty hopeless when a partnership sort of formed without my realizing it. Now we live together and we’re pretty happy. We are 100% genuine about who we are with each other and that’s great. Don’t give up hope. I wish you luck.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a sort of depression and malaise there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What keeps Americans from being mad about the state of their country?⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Culture war.

  Can’t get smaller than one man.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We're in the endgame now⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  No checks and balances when JD was learning social studies. We need to have a word with his teachers. The other acceptable answer is “fuck you, you’re not made of teflon and we know what you’re doing.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cola facts rule⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I laughed at this a lot more than I would have expected. It’s the pointing finger that gets me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Just day dreaming when this struck me⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck if I know.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨White House Faith Office⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m convinced that he believed he was the Messiah. I don’t think he considered himself divine. I think that was invented later.
