- Comment on What is the maximum number of potatoes you could grow in your house or on property you own before it becomes a crime? 1 week ago:
I heard they passed a law essentially making it illegal to grow food at home because you would be required to have all of the measures in place that only real farms could afford. It’s not really enforced but technically on the books. I don’t know. It could be conspiracy theory.

Yup.
- Comment on What game sequel ruined a beloved franchise or character for you? 1 week ago:
I think you are alone. Most people were disappointed. There were too many thing that were set to automatic. It was kind of hard to even play the game. More like just watching.

- Comment on Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans 2 weeks ago:
I’m aware of this but usually companies will do anything to increase profits and pass that extra cost immediately on to the consumer to plus a little extra for them.

Ummm, when you win a golf tournament you’ve never played in… You know you’re cheating.
- Comment on Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans 2 weeks ago:
But that’s not how capitalism works. If 70% of the items in Walmart have a 10% tariff, they raise 100% of the items 20%. Especially Walmart. But I guess I’m wrong.
- Comment on Inflation Outpaces Wage Growth For Over 40% Of Americans 2 weeks ago:
Maybe someone could explain to me how the short term inflation rate is 1.8%, but every tariff is at least 10%. I mean, in a country where nothing is made, which tariff free products are people buying? Is it just that many of the tariffs have not gone into effect yet? It’s so hard to keep track.

This is a real thing?
- Comment on Bernie Sanders says that if AI makes us so productive, we should get a 4-day work week 1 month ago:
I think the plan is that a lot of people get a 0 day work week. That’s one of the problems.

Yeah, exactly.

Are you sure? Sounds like how it used to be, you know, before people were taken off the streets by masked men.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
LOL. That’s not what I meant. Unfortunately it is what I said.
What I should have said is, if you are going to use a number after a decimal point (or comma in Europe) then why not use the right number. My bad.
- Comment on Order of magnitude is a hell of a drug 1 month ago:
Strange. If you’re going to use a decimal point, why not the right one?

Electrical engineer. I’m nowhere near as useful as an electrician.

Electrical engineer. Never used 3. Always 3.14. don’t really get the joke.
- Comment on A game you "didn't know it was bad 'til people told you so"? 1 month ago:
I never played the others. I play with my friend overseas every Monday. He chooses the games. He may have chosen it because it is cooperative, online and not PvP. IDK.
But we also play, Aliens, Grimm Dawn, all of the borderlands games, like literally ALL of them including Tiny Tina’s Wonderland. Two is my favorite.

Diablo 4. I mean, I know it is easy, but I felt the version of Halo I played was way easy and it has a good reputation.

That’s kind of disgusting.

- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 3 months ago:
Because they are sociopaths that have zero empathy for those they deport.

- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 3 months ago:
Yeah, I used a carriage return between them but I guess Lemmy doesn’t work that way.
- Comment on Favorite B-Movies? 3 months ago:
Gataca was a more recent film, like 2008 or something. It starred Ethan Hawk, Jude Law and Uma Thurman. Ethan plays a naturally born person trying to excel in a world where only generically enhanced people seem to have any rights. It’s a little slow and cerebral but I like underdog stories. Fun fact, the name Gataca was derived from the four letters used to define genes G A T and C.

I’m going with little known/flops.
