- Comment on When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day" 1 day ago:
No idea.
I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.
- Comment on Introverts of our era spend their time on their computers, but what did introverts do before? Like when literacy rates were lower (pre-1950s)? Or before the printing press? 4 days ago:
In the spring and summer, in a park near my home, there’s a three feet-tall crane that makes appearances before sunup, and on the days I can’t sleep, I get up early to go see him. Birds can be really neat.
- Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 3 weeks ago:
It’s a manufactured famine, which is a war crime.
But try telling that to an Israel apologist.

Sure Jan.

IDF themselves designated for evacuation dozens of times
LOL, telling people to evacuate when there’s no real infrastructure to do so… does not absolve them for committing a genocide.
I could sail out to the middle of the ocean, put you on a rowboat, and tell you that you’re free to go “safely” and it’s still going to be my fault when your ass drowns.

why do you guys wear uniforms and operate openly and build military bases away from schools and hospitals
Two reasons: First, they actually have a military, generously funded by the US taxpayer. Second, you’re right, it’s so rude for Palestine to directly place their schools and hospitals in the path of
AmericanIsraeli bombs.See also: It’s your fault for putting your face in the way of my fist.

Totally.
Hamas should not have put their hospitals in the way of
AmericanIsraeli bombs. - Comment on Why doesn't Hamas or Israel just meet at a predetrmined place and time and just have out or kill the crap out of each other? Instead of involving civs who don't have anything to do with war? 3 weeks ago:
Palestine doesn’t have an army, a navy, or an air force.
But, enjoy all the excuses you will undoubtedly see in this thread from
genocideIsraeli apologists.Hell, Palestinians can’t even go to a designated aid station for food without getting massacred by Israel.
- Comment on It's official: EA is going private. 3 weeks ago:
Just when you think EA can’t get any shittier, they find another way to lower the bar.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 4 weeks ago:
Not sure it’s provable, really, but the idea for T-Rex having movement-based vision is (if I’m remembering correctly, forgive me as it’s been a while) something that came from the Jurassic Park story, and more specifically how frog vision works, since they used frog DNA to birth their dinosaurs.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 4 weeks ago:
I could be wrong, and if I am, it’s just an opportunity to learn a new thing.
Have a great day.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 4 weeks ago:
I can think of a few.
- That T-Rex’ vision was based on movement.
- Feathered dinosaurs are a thing.
- What we were taught as the ‘reservation’ system more closely resembled concentration camps, and indigenous people were given a choice between death marches and war. -That the US military was actually on the wrong side of nearly every civilian movement for greater rights, from suffrage, to labor, and now freedom of speech.
- Comment on Should I feel bad that my abuser is suffering? 1 month ago:
No.
It’s good when bad things happen to bad people. It’s better when bad people kick the bucket.
- Comment on Why is Lemmy much better with telling a user why they were banned? 1 month ago:
Because Lemmy is moderated by human beings.
- Comment on The USA prided itself on a nation of immigrant, heck even the Statue of Liberty says it. When did immigrants (US citizens from the old world) become anti immigrant and why? 1 month ago:
Yeah, sorry OP.
Racism has always and will always be a part of America’s identity. I’d go so far as to say I think it’s part of human nature, given how pervasive and common it’s been throughout all of human history.
- Comment on After two years of development, Heroes of the Seven Islands, a cRPG that I drew by hand on paper, will be released on Steam, in four days the 9/9/2025 (demo available) 1 month ago:
Looks cool. I’ll give the demo a try.
Thank you for giving us try-before-you-buy.
- Comment on How long do we have before PCs get locked bootloaders and corporations ban installation of "non-approved" software? (for context: Google is restricting sideloading worldwide on Android ETA 2027) 1 month ago:
There’s also Europe, which has led the way in regulating against monopolistic power for Big Tech.
- Comment on How to relax and most importantly stop thinking about the things i could be doing? 1 month ago:
For starters, find a way to discipline yourself into using social media less.
Lots of people feel shitty and stressed because they’re using algorithms designed to make them feel shitty and stressed.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
I’m with you OP.
I have no desire to remain animated myself past the point when my quality of life isn’t worth the time. All I’ll say is you should make the best decision for you. It’s your life. It’s your time. It’s your health.
- Comment on Refrigerators have DRM on them, To force you to buy $50 water filters or it won't dispense water 2 months ago:
Yup. My old-ass refrigerator has them.
But the thing is, I already had a Brita pitcher and ice trays. I don’t need the fridge to dispense them.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 2 months ago:
Haven’t really had anything I’ve enjoyed lately, but I am ready an exceedingly good video game-esque novel. It’s called ‘Dungeon Crawler Carl’.
- Comment on What if a billionaire wants to help you? 2 months ago:
They don’t.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
That’s likely not a person, but a bot.
- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 months ago:
Probably. I haven’t read JL in a long time.
- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 months ago:
Oh cool. I didn’t know that. :)
- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 months ago:
It’s actually worse than that.
Batman actually keeps green kryptonite in the Bat Cave as an insurance policy, should Superman ever go rogue. He has contingencies for everyone in the Justice League except Wonder Woman.
- Comment on GOG’s Freedom To Buy Campaign Gives Away Controversial Games For Free To Protest Censorship 2 months ago:
That’s pretty fucking cool.
- Comment on Remember the guy who lost a bitcoin wallet worth millions in a landfill? There's a game about that now 2 months ago:
Bummer.
You can still buy bitcoin though, just wait for the next dip and get right in.
- Comment on How do you reconcile staying sane while keeping yourself up-to-date with the news? 2 months ago:
I don’t consume a lot of content from mainstream news sites, and that helps.
Most of my news exposure is through Lemmy or Mastodon, through which I can automate the curation of my feed and I don’t see things that are going to rile me up as much; and therefore, I only see things that might rile me up when it’s my intention to do so.
- Comment on At this point who in the world could stop Trump over doing something totally illegal? Like lets say using bunker buster bombs to destroy DEM cities? Or is USA communially FUCKED? 2 months ago:
No, the USA is not fucked.
Everything happening now has happened before, and worse, and the USA has endured. It may take some time, but the US will be fine.
