I’m sceptical about all this. In fact, I’m sceptical about everything!
- Comment on If someone tells you "you support socialism, yet you use products of capitalism", what would you say? 2 days ago:
It’s hard to compete in road construction with the guys building on stolen land paying for labor with stolen money.
- Comment on MAYDAY from the airwaves: Belarus begins a death penalty purge of radio amateurs 6 days ago:
Cutting down the international communication lines usually means incoming internal purge. But with belarus, I’m surprised there are still people left to purge…

Blow up his handlers computer!
- Comment on How far do you wear your daily shoes out before bothering to replace them? 1 week ago:
I wear them until they reach zero on the comfort scale:
- 10 - The most comfortable thing in the universe. You don’t even know you’re wearing them
- 0 - It actively hurts your feet

Another day at No Stupid Questions, another bait account.

The account is sus, as is tradition in this community, but I’m going to pretend I did not see that.
fried rice, Dr Pepper, bag of chips, potato cake, frozen chips, Yazoo milkshake
Stop hurting yourself. More protein, less starches and sugar.
- Comment on How do you think a socialist President would win the 2028 election? Would they use the exact methods used by Zohran Mamdani which earned him the office of Mayor of NYC? 1 week ago:
Why do you think USA needs even more mismanagement and authoritarianism? Isn’t trump bad enough already?
- Comment on At this point, should we form an alternative government of the United States as a micronation? 1 week ago:
Some say it’s useless to overthrow a government, because the first thing people do after is create another government. It’s highly unusual to skip the first step, though.
- Comment on who was the aggressor in cold war? 3 weeks ago:
Believe it or not, these were invited by a certain asshole sitting in the government at the time. I can only assume this is how the friendly visit looked like back in the day. Different time, different customs…

- Comment on Why do SO MANY reviews now talk about "phone wobble"? 3 weeks ago:
The truly strange thing is that nobody has complained about it until now. I can’t imagine buying a phone that can’t be rested on the table evenly.
- Comment on If God (or any creator of the universe) exists would he be made out of atoms? 3 weeks ago:
He would be made out of the snake body and the lion head!
Finally a reason to tell everyone I’ve discovered gnosticism. It’s like normal religion, but for pessimists. On the other hand, so many Therion songs just make sense all of a sudden.
- Comment on why is fossil fuel still used? 1 month ago:
And now I wish for somebody to include this into their fictional universe. If any proffesional writer reads this, pay attention!

- Comment on All glory to the techno viking. 1 month ago:
The lawyer of the Techno Viking asserts that his client had never been a public figure and that he did not want to become one.
His half naked client dancing in the middle of a busy street has a strange way of practicing his privacy.

always ask:
- How many people would have to be in on it?
- How likely is it for everybody to keep the secret?
- Comment on Paul Krugman. Former Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2 months ago:
what’s actually baked into the silicon
Bitmain has actually discovered and used a vulnerability in SHA256 hash function to their own benefit before. It took months, but people eventually found out.
While the situation is concerning, it’s not like there are no eyes on what bitmain is doing. These days you can reflash the software on their machines, or eve use your own custom control boards if you wish. The guys from Braiins are doing some amazing work in this regard.
- Comment on Paul Krugman. Former Professor of Economics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology 2 months ago:
I’ve had the honor to try both - shitting in a latrine, and living without the internet. If this ever becomes a choice, you can keep your fancy toilet, sir!
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 2 months ago:
I think I’ve boycotted sony for one thing or the other for the large part of my adult life. Only backed down in 2021 and bought some shares. Time to return back to normal I guess.

- Comment on ChatGPT made me delusional 2 months ago:
AI convincing someone he’s neo from the movie Matrix, and can fly…
Pretty shocking. Although I remember people saying the exact same thing 20 years ago, except the perpetrator was somehow Pokemon.
I’m pausing the video now, because holy hell, it’s an hour long, but this is already a pretty bad start.
- Comment on The Fantastic World of Monsterfuckers | Tale Foundry [20:18] 2 months ago:
Monstertrucks. I read it as monster trucks, but when I realized my miatake it was too late.
What a way to start a weekend!
- Comment on Drinking coffee from a cup made of coffee 2 months ago:
coffee grounds are essentially just a binder used in agar mix to harden it
Oh, yes. I forgot about the agar. Is this the same thing that’s used as a food for bacteria in a petri dish?
- Comment on Drinking coffee from a cup made of coffee 2 months ago:
I remember a video where they’ve discussed the viability of 3d printed utensils. The conclusion was - don’t. For the love of our bacterial lord, don’t! It has too many pores for a life to grow in.
I consoder this a part 2 of that story.
- Comment on How to respond to societal collapse | Sarah Wilson | TEDxSydney 3 months ago:
I’m at 1:14 and already smell the bullshit, let’s continue…
5:33 and there are already 2 very close doomsday dates proposed. The religious vibes intensify…
6:31 She correctly assumes that various systems are interconnected, and will crumble if one falls down, but does not seem to account for the one strength human beings posess (we suck in all other aspects), and that’s adaptation and our ability to coordinate when immediate short term danger is under way.
6:42 Overcomplicated societies crumbling under their own weight! That’s more like my jam. Although, that’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
12:45 Appeal to nature, appeal to the go back to the good old times.
Jesus christ, this has been a 15 minutes long setup for a logical fallacy.
