- Comment on Should the next President of the US pardon Trump for all his crap like Ford did Nixon? 3 days ago:
No, but they will.
It’s a big club, we ain’t in it, and their class solidarity is absolute.
- Comment on Joe Rogan thinks AI running the government would ‘stop all wars on the planet’ 4 days ago:
The same AI model that was used to bomb a girls school?
- Comment on Question - Retro Handhelds 1 week ago:
That’s kind of where I’m at too.
I’m a PC gamer with two very good laptops, so getting a retro handheld is very niche and I definitely only need one.
- Comment on Question - Retro Handhelds 1 week ago:
This is good feedback. Thank you!

- Comment on What are some good, independent news outlets that are reliable? 1 week ago:
I second Breaking Points. Very good news source with viewpoints you won’t hear in most places.
- Comment on Do most Americans vote just based on name recognizing without any thinking of the platform? Or pigeon hole a candidate to one issue and vote for them? Even if that issue is way against beliefs? 1 week ago:
It depends on which level you’re talking about. At the federal level, there are generally only two meaningful choices, both selected by the wealthy class in this country and placed there to ensure there’s no meaningful change that benefits the poor and working class.
Our only real power is local. Even state-level politics are largely controlled by the rich now.
- Comment on For all the years it has existed, all the money spent on immigration and deportation why hasn't the US come up with a better system? And become an isolated country for a while to help itself? 1 week ago:
And is also profitable.
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 1 week ago:
Biden wasn’t offering them as a reward for voting a certain way.
Okay.
He was warning that if those seats were lost Republicans would block the checks
You realize that’s the same thing, right?

Yes, the situation isn’t 100% one-to-one, but it’s similar enough to what Donald is doing.
“Elect my guys and you get money.”

Totally man.
Wasn’t Biden out here promising $2000 checks. Nope. No sir-ee.
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 1 week ago:
Yes.
And even worse, we’ve seen it done by other presidents in recent memory, like when Biden promised a $2000 COVID aid check if the Dems won Georgia, which they did, and then the amount shrank to $1400.
- Comment on That'll be $100k per credit hour, please. 1 week ago:
Are these rhetorical questions?
Clearly it’s because AI was used.
- Comment on Florida Congressman: "The UK decision to sanction Israeli companies is outrageous. There will be consequences. UK businesses will be targeted. We will be fine. That tiny little island will not" 1 week ago:
Of course it was the stupid fat one.
- Comment on My bank is starting to discontinue web-based online banking in favor of an app. 1 week ago:
10/10 can confirm
Credit Unions are the fuckin’ best.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 2 weeks ago:
Undoubtedly never worked a day in his life.
Probably can’t even work one of those chainsaws either.
- Comment on Lindsay Clancy Jury Says It’s Deadlocked After More than 17 Hours of Deliberation 2 weeks ago:
Absolutely fucking insanity, both on Lindsay’s part and these weird TikTokers.
- Comment on Lindsay Clancy Jury Says It’s Deadlocked After More than 17 Hours of Deliberation 2 weeks ago:
Wild what people honestly think about this case. They’re making a strong case for the need to ban TikTok and they don’t even realize it.
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 4 weeks ago:
I dropped from a 52 to a 38. I’ve since gained 60 of those pounds back, but a lot of it’s muscle.
I kept the fat guy jeans to remind myself of where I started. Body dysmorphia’s a huge issue.
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 4 weeks ago:
I loosed it by losing 150 pounds. It’s a biological bummer that one can literally deflate themselves.
- Comment on My student loan is gaining interest while I'm in school but I'm not allowed to start paying it off yet 4 weeks ago:
Yep.
- Comment on My 1TB hard drive took a crap reformatted it, lost all my info, and it works now. How do I use a cloud or drive online to backup my stuff so I am not relying just on physical and can dl anywhere? 4 weeks ago:
Between the Swiss FADP and GDPR, Europe is by far a safer place to house your data.
Just also be sure that anything you don’t want Microsoft to know is being accessed through Linux instead of Windows, or you’re shooting yourself in the foot. Microsoft obviously doesn’t give a fuck a Euro privacy laws.

Consider Proton. The Swiss have kickass privacy laws.
- Comment on My student loan is gaining interest while I'm in school but I'm not allowed to start paying it off yet 4 weeks ago:
You’re also not allowed to discharge it in bankruptcy, and once you do start paying it the bulk of your payment will go to interest. Before I paid mine off I was making a $150 payment amonth, and over a hundred of that went only to interest.
You can thank Joe Biden. He fought hard to make student loans unescapable. (And that’s not a partisan jab. It’s history.)
- Comment on google's getting pissy about using their shit while logged out 4 weeks ago:
udm14.com does not appear to be affected.
- Comment on Karoline Leavitt. She says she wear a cross because she is a good christian. 5 weeks ago:
I hope her toilet seat is always uncomfortably cold.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 5 weeks ago:
I sure wish karma was a thing.
- Comment on President Trump reacts to President Biden’s cancer diagnosis: "I don't feel sorry for him" 5 weeks ago:
You really don’t, sadly.
- Comment on Shut up brain! 5 weeks ago:
I wish I knew how to get my brain to settle.
I woke up at 2:30AM today and couldn’t get back to sleep, and it’s my in-office day. Today is going to suck.
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 5 weeks ago:
Just what we always wanted.
The enjoyment of beer without all that pesky euphoria.
