- Comment on Woke up today to find out my demo has 100% Positive rating (from 10/10 reviews) 5 days ago:
That’s wonderful. Happy for you!
- Comment on Donald Trump's sentencing was postponed to after the election to avoid any assistance of election interference. Can he be sentenced while he is President Elect? 1 week ago:
No.
It’s over. Trump is never going to be held accountable for any of it. In a few years he’ll die peacefully in his bed like Kissinger did.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 1 week ago:
Exactly. Harris was tasked with defending and indefensible record. It’s that simple.
- Comment on How is it that "protecting basic democracy and the rule of law, and not crowning a criminal dictator" wasn't even on the chart?! 1 week ago:
It’s simple, and history has borne this out many many times.
In a bad economy, no one cares about your politics if you’re the candidate of change. There’s a reason why Harris spent two months repeating memes instead of defending Biden’s policies, because it’s impossible to defend the fact that you had four years to rule and there are more people working 2-3 jobs just to survive.
They knew they needed to appeal to workers. Instead, they spent most of the campaign repeating this meaningless platitude about joy to people who are being worked to death.
- Comment on Is it cheaper to use a plug-in oil radiator to eat an individual room, or run the central heater to heat an individual room and living room? 2 weeks ago:
bundle up everywhere else.
It should be noted that if you don’t need to heat the room you’re in, you can also get an electric blanket for $30 or less, and those babies work infinitely better at keeping you warm than a space heater.
- Comment on Will COVID death rates of Republicans have a significant impact on the outcome of the presidential election? 3 weeks ago:
Fair point. I’ll delete my comment.
- Comment on Is American politics really as seemingly satirical of itself as it is portrayed? 4 weeks ago:
Nailed it.
Both parties are heavily funded by the 0.01%, and that’s neither a lie nor a coincidence.
- Comment on My wacky indie game has reached 6000 wishlists, I made this meme to explain how it feels 4 weeks ago:
I’m happy for you!
- Comment on Is there a reason the US is sending 100 of our people to Israel? 4 weeks ago:
I mean, we’re being told that’s why it is. We were also once told we had to fight Iraqis because they had nukes.
I don’t think any of us really knows what’s happening there.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 4 weeks ago:
That’s shitty. I’m sorry to hear it.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 4 weeks ago:
It’s wild.
There are some local and state governments trying to pass automatic voter registration, but it’s an uphill battle, not unlike most things that would generally benefit the public good in this country.
- Comment on Goddammit Texas! 4 weeks ago:
Not a Texan, but here in Missouri, you can request your absentee ballot as early as 9/24 this year.
I requested mine, waited two weeks, and it never arrived. So last week I requested another, and I’m waiting for it. I do think there’s some fuckery afoot with the mail, so I’m probably going to be stuck voting absentee in-person at my local election board.
- Comment on Steam does the opposite of forcing Arbitration on its users 1 month ago:
It made me smile when I saw it this morning.
- Comment on Sid Meier's Pirates, and everyone else in the game, are aware of the date... 1 month ago:
That’s so cool.
I played the hell out of this game in the 90’s, and then again when they re-released it. How fun is it to actually have to sneak into town and complete a stealth mission when your pirate’s got a high level of notoriety?
- Comment on Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks? 1 month ago:
It’s crap.
You can use udm14.org though.
- Comment on Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? 1 month ago:
I’m so sorry to hear it.
One of the doormen in my building is kind of in a similar situation. He got his doctorate this year, beautiful flute player. Can’t find a job in his field.
- Comment on Every show with a suicide now has a disclaimer with a suicide hotline at the beginning. Is there any evidence that these warnings make a positive difference? 2 months ago:
Agreed.

TBH, I think that’s why shows have this now. Fear of legal liability.

- Comment on If the obscenely wealthy benefit most from having Republicans in power; and collectively they have disproportionate control over the economy; wouldn't they use that power to sabotage Democrats? 2 months ago:
The obscenely wealthy donate to both parties. Both parties protect the interests of the wealthy.
Hell, there have been two Democratic administrations that had total congressional control over the last sixteen years. The minimum wage is still seven bucks an hour.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:
No, they weren’t.
The thing is, he’s the candidate of change. He doesn’t have to lie about how much people are struggling.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:
I feel you, dude.
But 99% of voters are going to vote against you on that. There’s nothing we can do about wealth disparity empowering either of these two parties. The best you can do is invest whatever you have to spare, because the stock market at least is on the side of both major parties.
- Comment on Seriously, what the f*** is keeping Donald Trump in this presidential race? 2 months ago:
What’s keeping Trump in the race is the fact that most Americans are working 2-3 jobs to main a basic standard of living and have to actually look at their grocery, utility, and medical bills.
Crazy doesn’t seem so crazy when the other candidate promised to make your life better and failed.
- Comment on Have police finally overstepped enough that reform could happen? 2 months ago:
People will have forgotten about this in a week.
- Comment on Redirect to prevent back button 2 months ago:
MASSIVELY infuriating.
- Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? 2 months ago:
It’s simpler than you think. Watch a few YT tutorials on it and see if it’s a good fit.
- Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? 2 months ago:
This is the way to go if you’re a gamer. It just didn’t work in my specific case.
- Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? 2 months ago:
Don’t get me wrong, I loved Linux.
I just hated having to troubleshoot almost every time I booted up my PC. It was abundantly clear there were hardware incompatibilities in my case.
- Comment on Is linux actually gaming ready or is it just not for me? 2 months ago:
I had a dual boot for six weeks this summer with Linux Mint.
I had to troubleshoot it almost every time I booted up, which is why I reverted to Windows setup. I plan to go back when I get a new PC and I can run linux only on a machine, but I think it’s fair to say that there are some hardware incompatibilities sometimes.
Still, you can blunt most of the negative aspects of Windows by running O&O ShutUp.
- Comment on Illegal voting by noncitizens is rare, yet Republicans are making it a major issue this election 2 months ago:
I’d say it’s ironic, but given their history, it’s really not.
