- Comment on Jason Statham Returns for 'The Beekeeper 2' 4 days ago:
The Beekeeper was the most Steven Segal movie I’ve ever seen. It’s kind of ironic that he wasn’t even in it.
The entire movie is just scene after scene making sure you know that old people are better than those dang kids with their phones. While every scene featuring the antagonists is either them whining about losing or talking about what a badass this beekeeper character is.

- Comment on Common Ground 1 week ago:
People are complicated and can carry multiple, nuanced beliefs. There are people out there that support LGBTQ+ rights, think that drag is fun, and believe that people of color get treated unfairly systemically without also wanting to take up arms in a violent revolution against the established systems in America because social progress is still happening, albeit slowly.
Every social media platform(Yes, even the independent ones) tends to remove all nuance and push every issue as binary, and sometimes worse than that, it will bundle issues together. There are people here that will argue in all seriousness that if you voted for the candidate that would’ve pushed forward progressive policies, that you also support the genocide in Gaza.

You ever wonder how the right seems to move in lockstep while the left constantly debates between themselves about the details?
It’s shit like this that fosters that attitude. If some people on the right can look at something like this and then really examine their positions then thats a win.
The goal with something like this isn’t to get someone to 180 on their beliefs, they know that the government is untrustworthy. It’s to have them really look at what they’re supporting, and if they truly want those changes, after learning what it might cost them.
- Comment on Why do people see me as far older than 19 when I type the way I do sometimes?/Why do people think full stops are rude? 1 week ago:
Kind of. There is one punctuation tell that you can typically use to tell if someone is older, and thats if they use ellipsis to separate thoughts rather than line breaks in informal settings.
Back in the day when you were writing on paper, space was a limited resource, so people that are more used to that will separate ideas with a ‘…’ rather than starting a new paragraph because you can fit more text into a smaller footprint.
Come the turn of the millennium, digital writing became the norm and people that grew up surrounded by computers tend to use line breaks instead because space is not limited in the same way anymore.
- Comment on Do most people still use computers, or do people only use a smartphone as their main/only device? 1 week ago:
My experience has been that most people only use a computer at work and use their phone or a smart TV for everything else. Although, they usually also own a laptop for when a computer is required
- Comment on Has America Reached Its Tipping Point with Ignorance? 1 week ago:
I think it’s a bit more hopeful than that(America is still fucked short term, but humanity might be better off long term). Throughout history, people have been misinformed idiots that don’t think critically. It’s just that prior to about 2008, people didn’t really have access to the deluge of information that is social media and we’re still trying to figure that out.
The reason misinformation on social media works so well is that people want to learn things, and if someone tells them a believable enough lie, they’ll take that as fact doing only minimal checks(eg: my friend whom I trust shared this article saying that it’s the Mexican’s fault I see so many homeless people, so it must be true).
Stuff like this has happened throughout history. People published absolutely insane things in books and presented them as fact for hundreds of years, and it set back things like science and medicine for equivalently long, as people didn’t fact check things then either.
The fact that people are already hammering on about trying to fact check social media means that people are educated enough now to start, and we as a species just need another small push in that direction
- Comment on Got these (notes) provided by my school.. 2 weeks ago:
My so-called introverted friends never want to go out clubbing on a Tuesday night because they only worry about the future like “Oh, if I go out with you tonight, then I’ll be a zombie at work tomorrow”. Like, live in the now and care about other people, like me!
- Comment on My employer blocking trusted adblock extensions but allowing ad blockers that whitelist corporate ads 2 weeks ago:
As a corporate IT drone, usually the extension blocks come from on high and we have no say in what they are. Also, the users that are smart enough to figure out ways around the blocks are not who we are worried about protecting from themselves.
- Comment on PSN Is Still Down After 14 Hours And No One Knows Why 3 weeks ago:
Sure, but if it were free it’s a “you get what you pay for” situation. People are a lot more forgiving when they aren’t personally losing money.

How?
That movie has the subtlety of a brick to the head

Hell yeah. That’s the best one

Sometimes you can have a thing that isnt a computer. Sometimes you can just have a glass door. I promise it’s okay.

With the magnetic attachment to the main console, having hall effect joysticks would be basically impossible

- Comment on if you've had or have anger issues, how did you become a better human? 1 month ago:
For me, it was a number of things that all came about through my 20s. The biggest were learning both how and when to tell people “no”, and making a conscious effort to think proactively rather than reactively.
What I mean by that is don’t take on extra work only because someone asks you to, and if something goes wrong, only worry about it if you can actually do something about it. Both of these are skills that require practice.
Also, as others have said, think critically if it might just be a shitty work environment. If that’s the case, consider looking for other work while keeping this job.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 month ago:
Boring reasons mostly.
Im told they offer better options for tiered monetization and the UI is supposedly way better.
Plus, they never threatened to oust their adult content creators because their payment processor asked them to.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 month ago:
Pretty good, actually. Assuming that you can brand it the right way.
For example, if you’re okay catering to gay men and can position yourself as a confident top with a dad-bod, there is a market for you.
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 month ago:
They might, actually. I know of some people that stream software development to Twitch
- Comment on Would you do Onlyfans if needed the money? 1 month ago:
I’d probably use Fansly instead of OF, but yeah, absolutely. (Assuming that I had the drive to actually do the marketing legwork and had something to offer that was actually in demand, that is)
- Comment on You'll never see it coming 1 month ago:
I’m not worried about this specific apocalypse, if only because there is literally nothing that can be done to prevent it nor stop it if it starts.
I’m far more worried about more localized, preventable, human-caused apocalypse like climate or nuclear war.
- Comment on Hypothetically, if some mysterious force started to jam every radio frequency, how would modern day society adapt to this? 2 months ago:
Wired communications would take over immediately and it would be a massive pain in the ass, but we’d ultimately adapt.
If the EM jamming is enough to also degrade the signal in copper lines, which at 1000x thr strongest signal, might happen, then basically all modern society would collapse within 48 hours
- Comment on Anon gives a piracy history lesson 2 months ago:
Try the 70s.
That was when VHS and cassette tapes started to hit the market and there was no copy protection on those. Following that, people copied floppy disks enough that they had to make that “dont copy that floppy” jingle.
There was a breif period with the switch to digital and CDROMs where piracy stopped, but then CD burners hit the market and it started again.

That would solve the problem about bot getting high, but cannabutter stl tastes pretty bad. That’s why it’s usually hidden in baked goods with stronger flavors like chocolate.

- Comment on No need to boil the ocean 2 months ago:
“Tech bors reinvent trains, but worse” makes perfect sense if your end goal is to grift people.
Everyone knows what a train is, and any investment firm will be able to understand the material, land, and labor costs because all of that is well known and documented.
When you have an idea that no one has ever done before, then the costs get nebulous. Getting funding turns into a marketing problem, and thats a lot easier when the person paying doesn’t know exactly what they’re getting. Every investor wants to be on the ground floor of the next major innovation, and your job is to convince them that’s what this is.

You couldn’t make this movie today. It was already made in 1982.
