The only thing I remember about it was that it was expensive as FUCK there.
- Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 1 week ago:
Maybe it was my own misunderstanding.
Why have them?
If this doesn’t mean, “why should they even exist?” what was it that you meant here? Because that’s what you ask first, before you ask what they are.
- Comment on Apparently, all YouTube Rewinds have been unlisted as of today. 1 week ago:
They shouldn’t exist because you don’t know what they are?

Just goes to show ya things.
- Comment on Sony cracks down on Concord custom servers, issues DMCA takedowns on gameplay videos 4 weeks ago:
It’s funny - before I actually clicked that link, I assumed it was Sony bricking PSP devices with custom firmware. I’d entirely forgotten they put ROOT KITS on their music CDs. They didn’t get in near enough trouble over that.
- Comment on What's your answer? And in the picture which news story is being reported? 1 month ago:
Princess Diana’s death, for sure. I remember my mother being absolutely distraught, and I didn’t understand why. We’re not British and I’d literally never hear of her (from my mother or otherwise) before her passing and funeral were news. The funeral took place in the middle of the night and I remember her being up super early to watch (and I eventually woke up and joined her).
I’m surprised it was 1997, I would have figured it was '95ish. Can’t believe that’s the first news story I can remember. But we definitely were NOT a news household. Nobody reading the newspaper, no local news on at night or cable TV news on TV all day.

I feel like this is a shared, universal male experience… But peeing outside of a toilet, everything turns into a target. A tree, a rock, a wall. Hell, the toilet itself, a urinal especially, was already a target. I could be mistaken about how Universal that is… or you don’t have a penis and I don’t know how to properly explain myself on this one.

Broken, or jammed into a shoe too tightly and then it fully falls off.

I think in this way, one universe was obliterated and ours was created at the big bang.

I grew up Mormon.
- Comment on That's a good question 6 months ago:
I think the point was living by his teachings and remembering his sacrifice, but without glorifying or worshiping the object of his torture and death.
- Comment on That's a good question 6 months ago:
You would be correct. My church growing up did NOT use crosses, instead remembering his life and not his death. That always made more sense to me.
- Comment on Bait or r*ta*d*ti*n. Call it. 6 months ago:
Yes, this. It may be drugs, it may be mental disorder, but what it CERTAINLY is is narcissism and megalomania.
Just like every Trump voter who never thought it would happen to THEM when tornado relief was denied or they were deported or their farm was on the brink of financial collapse thanks to tariffs, Musk seems to have thought he was safe? That HE could control Trump? I knew getting these two megalomaniacs together like this would go badly, I’m just impressed it lasted so long honestly.
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 6 months ago:
Update: the nagging is incessant with auto update disabled. But if I click download, it fails, and doesn’t bother for 24 hours. My solution still going strong. 😂👍
- Comment on ‘Game of Thrones’ Spinoff ‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ Shifts to 2026 Release 6 months ago:
Well it was specifically Dave and Dan who rushed through to go do Star Wars (and in so doing, got themselves fired from it anyways). They are not involved in House of the Dragon, nor are they involved with Dunk and Egg. Maybe check out HOTD if you’re skeptical, I think generally late season GOT haters were pleasantly surprised by it. It is an excellent show imo.

It was right there in the title, how much more in your face can you expect?
- Comment on Android updates: thanks I hate it. 7 months ago:
It actually wasn’t a joke. I went from SGN20U back to a Pixel for a few years, before getting my current Fold6. My prior experience with Samsung was that you could not disable updates and you couldn’t even delay updates because it’ll only let you snooze it for a day or two before it forces the update down your throat no matter what. Had it happen once while I was driving in unfamiliar territory and lost navigation for 15 minutes. Had it happen overnight once and my alarm didn’t go off in the morning. Infuriating.
I did go ahead and turn off auto download just now - if it actually works without constant nagging, I’ll be thrilled. Cheers.

I filled up my storage and now I just get download failed notifications every morning. Happy accident, but now I won’t ever empty my storage again.

Wow this really got me. Top tier shit post my dude.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 7 months ago:
Yeah, precisely. That’s what this would be, built into your headphone case. You never have one without the other.
- Comment on The Circle of iLife 7 months ago:
I mean, this wouldn’t be all that stupid imo. Add some Apple watch functionality like fitness detection and easy syncing between phone and iPod Nano Buds, this would be a solid addition to a runner’s arsenal leaving no need to carry your $1000 phone on a run. Suppose you could use your watch for that and leave the case at home though. But more options aren’t a bad thing, not everyone has or wants a watch.

Dammit - two comments and someone already beat me to it.
- Comment on Our old friends eventually die 8 months ago:
Definitely, at least with this Dell laptop circa 2007 - I didn’t want to cause a fire and iirc, the battery was already trashed at its EOL. Pulling the battery at least let me power on the laptop without any risk from having the battery inserted.
- Comment on Our old friends eventually die 8 months ago:
I’m moving soon and was packing up my office closet. Found my old college laptop and figured I better make sure nothing was stored on it before I tossed it. Pulled the removable battery (‼️⁉️) out and plugged in the power adapter. I couldn’t believe that it started Windows XP off of spinning rust faster than any modern device I own. They really don’t make them like they used to.

It took me a moment when I saw the pic to come to terms with the fact that, for as many times as I’ve seen kcal previously, I somehow never realized it was was short hand for kilocalories. 🤯

I know you’re being intentionally vague, but if not chewing tobacco (which no one would call “doing drugs”), what in the FUCK was the COMMUNAL spit bottle about? 🤢

Oh wow - our legal system CAN react this quickly. That’s good to know, as we watch Washington burn to a crisp while federal judges and congresspeople do… uh…
- Comment on Why does it seem like Americans have become so hateful and destructive in the past years? 11 months ago:
The problem is unfettered capitalism. Our leaders are far more concerned about enriching themselves than acting on behalf of their constituents, so we’ve got this really jaded electorate.
And then as a dominant super power in the world, we’ve been targeted with enormous misinformation campaigns, both from our own “news sources” (Fox News is NOT real news, it’s lies and half truths and proliferation of hatred!) and fake internet trolls. All of that on top of decades of political corruption, decades of businesses lobbying in their own best interest and spreading lies to support their position (“tobacco is safe and very cool!” “guns don’t kill people”, “weed is the root of all evil!”, “pEoPlE ARe tERMinatInG 9 mOnTh oLd feTUseS anD bORn bABiEs!”).
Conservatives have always been the temporarily embarrassed millionaires, and once they get theirs, fuck everyone else. Generations bought homes at affordable prices, then pulled the ladder up behind them and fuck all future generations. “Pull yourself up by your boot straps!” is sort of bullshit you get from them, but they didn’t do that at all and they’ve broken the whole system in their favor.
Now conservatives are trying to break our educational system by banning books, banning subject discussion like evolution or slavery, foregoing sex education in favor of the provably bad “abstinence education”. A country founded on “separation of church and state” is pushing harder and harder to make a “Christian nation” that doesn’t and shouldn’t exist. They want a stupid electorate making tons of babies who also grow up stupid and vote for them. The majority of Americans are liberal and have genuine sympathy and compassion for others, so before they wake up and actually get involved, the conservatives have to breed up a bunch of idiots they can convince real easily to vote their way.
All that to say… I don’t think it’s going to get any better anytime soon. Get me the fuck out of this place.
