- Comment on Why is Christa Pike from TN being kept alive after two failed execution attempts? 31 minutes ago:
For the same reason enemy combatants move from hated enemy to protected prisoner the moment they surrender. The same reason cops must move from violence to first-aid the moment the situation goes safe (YMMV in America, though).
- Comment on These "warnings" that some people think mean anything 2 days ago:
Theyre just trying to minimize the damage to your car in case a human secured the load and it’s got the slightest chance of coming loose.
It’s not always just to thumb their nose at you in court.
- Comment on It started on monday, worked thru tuesday, and hasn't moved since. 1 week ago:
I agree, but only because I’m jealous they’ve discovered prosperity without it being a labour death-march.
- Comment on ChatGPT Helped Tumbler Ridge Shooter Focus on Guns, Tactics, and Terror 1 week ago:
Phew. Glad to hear it wasn’t a glitch in parenting, policing, school support, gun safety or negligence. Everyone can rest easy now, and also not consider fixing anything. Let’s sue like Americans and move on.
- Comment on Engineer says Claude Code has made his job "soul-sucking" as workers spend 12-hour days pressing enter 1 week ago:
They made us use ansible at work. Then they made us use an LLM .
Onencanceks out the other, IMHO. None of the things I wanted to do are represented here, forced to slop some yaml together instead of building and maintaining actual software. Ai use kills any recall, expertise, or enjoyment.
But here’s the thing. I never want to think about how to affect a change via a bad listing grammar. I never want to recall the decisions I made while doing so. I never want to learn how to make better ansible. I never want to show my friends that code either.
I’m absolutely tickled to give it to the slop machine and let it accomplish the goals with very little investment from me. Fuck Ai, but also fuck ansible.
- Comment on AccuWeather, National Weather Service add “Lake America” to maps 1 week ago:
We need to report the error. Daily.
- Comment on Is there a difference between "comfortable space" and a "safespace"? 1 week ago:
“safespace” is, ironically, missing a space of its own.
- Comment on What would happen if the next President, said I want that ballroom destroyed and the White House put back like it was, and I want to use all Union members? And done in Six months? 1 week ago:
Well. They’d get volunteers, anyway.
Lots of em.
- Comment on Garbage Trucks Now Have AI Cameras To Score Your House and Clock Code Violations 2 weeks ago:
Garbage trucks have had cameras for a while now; just not fed into Ai for the nickels and the dimes.
Garbage trucks get run into or brake-checked aggressively, and they need the dashcam to show the entrapment. I dunno about you, but I was stunned to hear that people specifically target rubbish trucks.
- Comment on If you had a tooth problem that needed a root canal and crown, how long would you expect it to take to get it resolved? 2 weeks ago:
- exam confirms it’s more than a filling
- 4 days for next appointment and temporary crown
- 7 days to next appointment for final crown
Dentist was 100yds from my door.
- Comment on Gonna turn 19 next month, any advices for me? 2 weeks ago:
Yes: “advice”, like “help”, never gets an S.
- Comment on Why does most of the world use WhatsApp as their messaging app rather than RCS/SMS? 3 weeks ago:
I’ve had SMS messages read to me by a third party, not a cop. I’ve had transcripts of ‘private’ cell calls read back to me by a third party, not a cop.
I survived the entire lifetime of skype without having the same, and I guess I hope the same happens with whatsapp.
- Comment on My bank is starting to discontinue web-based online banking in favor of an app. 3 weeks ago:
Remember: if you leave your bank for this reason, make it known to them and to your friend circle. Encourage them to move to wherever you end up, and tell the bank why. Let’s make a pointless stink about it as we get our friends to safety.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 3 weeks ago:
“an overregulated economy, high energy costs, high labour costs, high taxes and a declining level of education and qualifications.”
Yeah. Because self-regulation and no taxes certainly worked for, for example, America’s skills and education level.
- Comment on If I wrote a script for a movie and sent it off to a studio or whatever. What prevents the person who recieved it from claiming it as their own? 4 weeks ago:
Nothing. Now go watch Matrix again.
- Comment on How do we stop people from defending billionares and trillion dollar companies? 4 weeks ago:
Ridicule.
- Comment on It's true 5 weeks ago:
Go play with one. It’ll get serious FAST
- Comment on No one spells "lose" anymore 5 weeks ago:
You laugh. I dream of this.

People who proclaim others are Grammar Nazis generally may need to focus more on spelling and less on cheesy melodrama.
- Comment on Is it creepy when lemmings go digging through post votes to see who voted how on different posts and comments? 5 weeks ago:
Without context? Yeah.
I downvote for lazy spelling, and there’s no way to indicate that. I’ll accept if I downvote a positive idea and in doing so make it seem like I disagree with the positive message instead of just the broken medium, but I’d rather not.
- Comment on Philips shouldn't exist. Torx plus is the best fight me 1 month ago:
you say Roberston enough times, without being an asshole, and even they will figure it out.
And, if you’re my dad, you say “the red-handled robbie” or “point the damned flashlight at the screw, genius”.
- Comment on Philips shouldn't exist. Torx plus is the best fight me 1 month ago:
Roberson
Robbie, if you’re not posh.
- Comment on Philips shouldn't exist. Torx plus is the best fight me 1 month ago:
Americans will do anything to avoid admitting Robertson was earlier, better, and easier to make.
- Comment on Treat your body like a data centre 1 month ago:
treat your body like a datacenter that has been planned poorly and pushed through local government
Fixed it for ya.
Remember, kids, if you like your health data to be safely stored so when you have a car accident you can survive with a drug allergy (long enough to get the bill, if American), then you want that data stored where it’s safe. That’s a datacenter. If you like the idea of criminals getting their just desserts one day, you want the evidence stored safely where fire/flood/tornado/theft/vandalism can’t destroy it and deny us justice. That’s a datacenter (and maybe a salt mine in nevada, but you get it).
If you hate evaporative cooling and diesel power generation, you hate bad datacenters, and you need to rail against councils approving bad plans and/or you need to ensure the new council you elect will slap the ratfuckers with legal challenge after enviro violation until they can do little else but sell it off to someone else (ohai code compliance on sold structures).

You need an English teacher.
- Comment on People who piss on the toilet seat in a men's restroom. 1 month ago:
Just lift the fuckin seat to pee then omg
Use your foot for that if you have to
- wipe seat. It’s fine.
- If you’re at a seat, be seated; standing is over there.
- wash hands like silkwood after
Is this only trivial for gen-X?
- Comment on In Open Carry states, is it also allowed to openly carry bladed weapons like Swords? Bow and arrow? 1 month ago:
In Alberta, Canada’s Texas, swords may be carried if sheathed. My buddy wore a broadsword to uni class - slung over the back in that way that you maybe slice off your ear if you need to draw it - until the uni banned it on their property.
- Comment on Local Walmart just installed cameras in the aisles… 1 month ago:
Are you trying to shoplift and you have a harder time now?
Careful, my dude. Lemmy promotes an ends-means justification on some crime, mostly via demonification. There’s no discussion on this particular ethical dilemma, despite a firm stance in other instances.
- Comment on What’s a reasonable tip for a barber? (America) 2 months ago:
Ha! I’ll tell my barber he doesn’t need to do Uber anymore, since his day job is paying so well.
