  I didn’t even express an opinion. You reply to the wrong person?

  He’s got milk and cigarettes for everyone!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don't need to answer this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming calling them evil means that they’re not people is presumptive.

  People can be evil.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don't need to answer this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The lack of the joker’s line disturbs me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don't need to answer this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. It’s absolutely hilarious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Screw you, Apple.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A standard headphone jack, at least. But it did come with (or maybe they were just available at the time) a set of headphones that plugged into the home in the center.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it possible to have a "free speech" platform that simultaneously stops "hate speech"?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It will probably never be free speech happening. It’s always been free speech with exceptions.

  I think one measure of society is how strictly it imposes some kind of penalty for people that use speech that crosses those boundaries. No one should get away with racist comments and not be penalized in some way. Not necessarily legal penalties, I mean including smaller stuff, like limiting the pool of potential friends. There’s a lot of range with these.

  Another measure would have to do with what the penalties even are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleepy Bees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not in my experience.

  There have been so many yellow jackets and wasps that used to live in front of this house, and they tended to dive bomb anyone headed between the driveway and front door.

  That and I got caught up in a swarm when a friend of mine stepped on a yellow jacket best when we were all about 7 or 8. I just happened to be nearby and got stung 16 times. My younger brother got hit at least 18 (they list count at that point) and he needed an epi for even though without a known allergy to bee stings. Maybe after almost 20 songs you get symptoms anyway.

  Either way, I’ve never forgiven bees since that day and I never will. I’m not out hunting them down or anything, but if I encounter them, and it’s somewhere I have regular need to go, they’re getting evicted without warning with prejudice. And I will laugh while they’re dying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sleepy Bees⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t care. If they got stingers and live too close to me, they are getting squished out poisoned without mercy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Xhitter policy just dropped⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Except the AI is trained. Not the art.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon Bans Its Drivers From Moving Their Own Lips Too Much At Work⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I really wanna go to an event where we’re just literally roasting selected billionaires over a fire, eating popcorn as we listen to their screams, and watch their flesh darken as it burns. So whole celebrating how much negative karma is leaving the earth all at one time.

  I’m not even kidding. I would literally enjoy physically going to such an event. Bezos and Musk would probably be the stars of the show.

  Does Bezos even “do” anything at all? Ever? Or is he just cashing checks while underlings deal with all the “work stuff”?

  I mean I would be downright ashamed if a company with my name all over it was looked on this badly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay away, you might fall off the edge of the flow of time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally get the comparison now. That movie was horrifying as hell though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Hustle - Weird deepfake video⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I absolutely hate AI being used in any kind of production and being turned into a whole new kind of product.

  But the technology figuring out how to do this on “its own” is very fascinating to me. Those Sora videos a whole back were pretty damn stunning. Just the fact that that kinda thing is even possible really does fascinate me. But the dystopia it seems to create makes it not worth it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How the fuck do you meet new people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Well then how the hell did they get in my room?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay away, you might fall off the edge of the flow of time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol alright. I have a standing appointment with my brother every weekend to watch a movie and will work on a TV show for a few episodes each weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay away, you might fall off the edge of the flow of time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  None of that description sounds anything like the premise that the meme movie would be. But it does sound interesting enough for me to check it out this weekend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Stay away, you might fall off the edge of the flow of time⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I wanna see this movie.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joe Pera Talks With You was an underappreciated treasure that I think deserves way more viewers. Here's one of my favorite scenes.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Now I’m thinking I actually encountered it on YouTube music. I’ve played several but I didn’t remember any video part to them. But this one did sound vaguely familiar.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How come it seems for the past decades the Catholic Church has been plagued with sex crimes especially among young boys? How long has this been going on? Or did I just miss something up.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean you give people authority over kids and then teach them to hate the sexual part of their personality, and something’s gonna go wrong, probably way more often than it goes right.

  I haven’t done any real reading on it yet, this is just a really common sense starting hypothesis. So don’t take it for more than that. But that’s my guess.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Joe Pera Talks With You was an underappreciated treasure that I think deserves way more viewers. Here's one of my favorite scenes.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Didn’t know about this show, but I’ve listened to a good number of audio clips from him that is still just him talking. I find a quiet conversational tone is nice as sleepy audio. That and tibetan singing bowls. Sometimes a lofi stream. But preferably a conversation I’m not involved in (doesn’t even have to be in English- I’m not trying to snoop on the conversation itself, I just find certain voices soothing), if it sounds like the voices involved are communicating it hits the spot to knock me out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Elvis Presley a pedo?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess I’ll accept the phrasing here. But I don’t like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Elvis Presley a pedo?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would be very ok with that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Was Elvis Presley a pedo?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I absolutely hate (not dislike) that “huah” vocal noise that’s commonly associated with him and think any human making that noise needs to be taken out immediately.

  I’ve never heard anything about any of this but I absolutely hate him and any contract he made on society simply as a product of the horror of that noise.

  I exaggerate for humor, clearly, but I really do absolutely hate that noise and do not give it a single shred of artistic respect at all, it’s flatly and out-of-hand declined any consideration for credit at all and people that like him as an artist I will literally completely discount any of their artistic opinions.

  I have the same artistic hate for Elvis that I have political and personal hate for Trump.

  I don’t even have a way to know exactly what it is but just hearing his voice immediately sends me into a blinding rage. It’s not to my knowledge some kinda trauma type of memory associated with it, because I was only exposed to enough of it to just recognize the voice. There are just a few things I know of that make me that angry that quickly. One of them is having to backtrack. Like realizing you forgot a critical grocery and having to go back to the store immediately, or forgetting to bring that one super important thing to work and you have to go back for it before going in. That part multiplies with any kind of time pressure.

  But Elvis hits me in the same kind of spot. A randomly specific and very reactive trigger. Well I say reactive but I just end up telling at myself and increasing blood pressure for a few minutes. I don’t literally go into a fugue state and start dropping people.

  All that just to say that with me he is absolutely NOT loved and the little bit I heard about some kind of drama with the Graceland estate makes me laugh myself silly because screw those people, the whole lot of them. Do fans of Elvis even care a little bit about any of the family careers? It doesn’t seem so to me, but I’m not an expert.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rain on Other Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I just assumed all the ones we would actually hear about would get named more regularly. But I guess if they’re talking about a specific one, this would happen. I never really thought about how many must really be out there, but now it seems obvious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Sweeney: " Now Apple is demanding a 30% cut of all Patreon DONATIONS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Correct. I wouldn’t be here shitting on Windows if I still used it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Rain on Other Worlds⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess that’s a good point.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't change controller settings without updating Windows first⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You clearly do assume you would.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can't change controller settings without updating Windows first⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Assuming it will need a huge amount of troubleshooting is a little crazy.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tim Sweeney: " Now Apple is demanding a 30% cut of all Patreon DONATIONS⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Apple doesn’t deserve any money. I would love if they went extinct entirely.
