we don’t actually know what Harris would have done to be intellectually honest, we just have what she said.
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 8 hours ago:
the problem is that people learned nothing. The pandemic gave trump a get out of jail free card, I guess, even though he fucked it up
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 12 hours ago:
Free and fair elections have never been anything but an ideal in this country. It started with voters were wealthy landowning men, often who owned slaves.
What we’re seeing is years of undermined reforms by the wealthy after the previous empires in europe tore themselves apart.
- Comment on Remembering the Corrupted Blood incident: That time WoW was overrun by a virtual plague now referenced by Covid-19 researchers 13 hours ago:
This is why the literal only thing that would work is making it legal to shoot people who are unmasked if they’re coughing (which is insane, but insane is the baseline I guess)
- Comment on I want a name for this 22 hours ago:
Motor tasks like eye movement I think would fall under autopilot. I think it increases with age and adhd
- Comment on In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return? 23 hours ago:
its going to be a shit 32 years.

I just picked the photo he’s banned the most people for. And I’m not sure if thats fat or HGH bubble gut.
- Comment on Why people consistently vote against their own interests to benefit the rich? 2 days ago:
People get more upset about a bad friend than a real enemy.

- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 2 days ago:
I can’t find the source but if I recall bluesky relies on running feeds through central servers and it has patents on its methods so I would say bsky federation has some asterisks.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 3 days ago:
The proof is that mastodon user base is steadily going up. There hasn’t been a giant spike in a while but the barrier to monetization is too high for it to shed users from that. Its more like how wikipedia has outlived google as a resource despite wikipedia not being particularly better now than soon after it started.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 3 days ago:
I would argue siloing is easier on bluesky - block list manager drama can definitely have a similar effect to user admin drama. The thing mastodon does poorly is discovery.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 3 days ago:
The consumer lockin then monetization lockdown cycle always sheds users. I think eventually most federated systems will gain users, albeit slowly.
- Comment on What's Mastodon precious? 4 days ago:
bluesky has made better choices - the starter packs and user lists are great for new users. They managed to add quote tweets but let the quoted person opt out of dog piles. It looks like they options for custom algorithms too.
It will be enshittified but mastodon should be taking notes.
The system is just way better. The local/fed feeds on masto are just wasted.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 1 week ago:
I like to talk to the grain harvesting robot every once in a while, really lets me feel like I’m part of a community
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 1 week ago:
We’ll just drink mountain dew, instead, has has bonus brominated vegetable oil.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 1 week ago:
I think thats what the crypto people are banking on. Rapid inflation.
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 1 week ago:
and I’ll probably just pay the tariffs and move on because half the time stuff made in the US falls apart or is laced with pesticides banned elsewhere
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 1 week ago:
I do think like 1 million americans sending letters to the white house telling them to fuck off is a funny thing to do. How many letters can be opened by 1 person a day?
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 1 week ago:
“I can’t believe Kamala did this!”
- Comment on Withdrawal is going to make people go mad 1 week ago:
Chocolate also

couldn’t you just run games through linux?
- Comment on You have hell yeah! friends 1 week ago:
Every joke gets at least one guy.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 1 week ago:
This is framing only billionaires can buy. The problem is less this is the reality and more that the billionaires who own like 90% of the media can make people believe’
Democrats had some solid policies like paid family leave on the table and I just don’t think the messaging made its way to the people that needed to hear it.
- Comment on Serious statement: I don't understand the argument that not voting for Harris was the morally correct thing to do, because of Gaza. Why does anyone believe this? 1 week ago:
because americans see voting the same as buying and endorsing a thing which is objectively wrong.
Not buying a product hurts the manufacturer.
Not voting does jack shit.
Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
But overall I don’t think that’s the biggest group of people. The majority of people that didn’t vote I think were tuned out of the election.
- Comment on Post-election blues 2 weeks ago:
I mean you could read the rest of what I wrote to see thats not the case. I’m reacting to interviews with nonvoters I saw, which are shockingly unaware.
- Comment on Post-election blues 2 weeks ago:
its always the democrats fault, a brave take. Harris’ campaign was not good, but Its possible she had no chance.
- Comment on Post-election blues 2 weeks ago:
this is why I’m doing the “buy nothing 2025 challenge.” Would be a shame if consumer spending went down in january and sparked a panic.
- Comment on Post-election blues 2 weeks ago:
the supreme court is basically all catholic. Something tells me the evangelicals will get thrown under the bus at some point
- Comment on Post-election blues 2 weeks ago:
eventually its just the same group, plus when your standards of evidence include demon stories etc even the nazis were prone to a substiantial friendly fire.
Congratulations to the 47th US President
