- Comment on How would I find my phone if I didn't have a phone to find my phone with? 1 day ago:
Yeah go on eBay and buy like a Samsung Galaxy one of the ones from a few years ago. Or an LG or a UMX or a ZTE or a Nokia. Any of those running a few Android versions back. You could get one that functions perfectly and other than being no competition to newer ones, they’re fully functional. Let me know if you decide you actually want to do this, I’ll hook you up with something cheap and reliable.

lol no I meant how you gonna call them without a phone?
- Comment on Does the GOP Stick Together so tightly to hide the fact that a large majority of them are involved in Pedophilia? 1 day ago:
Seriously! Even without the pedophelia, they’re fucking crooks every one of them. They’re all into shady business stuff. Their lives and their very meaning for existence is the insatiable hunger for more and more wealth and power. These are the worst monsters around.

Call them with what?
- Comment on How would I find my phone if I didn't have a phone to find my phone with? 1 day ago:
Go to a library or a friend or wherever you can access a computer. Even buy a prepaid phone with the least data you can get so it’s cheap, and use that to locate your phone.
Just for the sake of saying it, in this age it’s rather rare to find someone who has only one Internet connected device whatsoever. If that’s the case really, and it’s your phone, then you really need to have extra precaution. Get a cheap backup phone like an Android you can get for like $10 even a really good one. I buy and sell these they’re very cheap these days if you don’t need the best. Don’t have to have a cellular plan on it just keep it at home and you can get it from wherever you keep it and go to anywhere there’s wifi.
- Comment on Anyone else feel like Trump has a much higher chance to win then Presidency than Kamala? 2 weeks ago:
Statutes, not statues.
- Comment on Why is Kamala Harris being held at such a higher standard than Trump this election? 2 weeks ago:
You have to understand, you are seeing people of VERY low intelligence. I know that’s tough to accept, but demographics are really frightening in America. Millions of voters with intelligence not very much higher than outright mental retardation. And so, the system learned long ago, you don’t bother trying to get them to think you’re right for the job, you don’t want them thinking at all. So you just get them to ally with you as a tribe, and that way they’re yours even if you’re doing the opposite of what they want.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
U.S.A. is not a democracy, it’s an oligarchy. Has been for decades, but more so now than ever before. Corporations have begun to openly ignore law and have no fear of punishment. Because they own the government they write the laws and they decide what happens everywhere.
As I said in a different comment, it’s a painful thing to hear, but the sad simple truth is, the bad guys won.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
It would be nice if corporate bribery were not allowed. Giving tens of millions to them - to their “campaign” - which they all funnel and launder into their pockets - is literal and unambiguous bribery. And yet it’s the reality of our nation.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
Well yes except our government is bought and owned by those corporations. That’s why we are not represented by them.
There’s a simple way to put it, but it’s painful to hear: the bad guys won.

He’s beholden to the corporations controlled by the wealthiest 1%. Anyone who gets elected is already someone who “plays ball” because they don’t get to there otherwise.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
Nope. America is OWNED by rich people. It’s a corporation and they make the laws so all the laws are to help them have more power.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
I guess they don’t have their wealthy running the government and writing the laws.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
It’s the only thing we will have left pretty soon. Capitalism is pretty close to flatlining. Then we will have a Corporate Congress and the nation will become The United Corporation of America - in name as opposed to now where that’s what it is but it’s not yet called that.
- Comment on Why does the USA have so few legal protections for ordinary people, and how can we change that? 2 weeks ago:
We need a kind of everybody union.
I had this conversation with lots of people if everyone saw a company is doing things or taking advantage of people imagine if on the exact same day, one million customers canceled their accounts. That kind of unity can give all the power needed to the regular people. But you can’t get people to cooperate or even to have enough self-discipline to go along with something that isn’t for their immediate and measurable benefit. And so the big players know they can abuse and exploit.
- Comment on Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option? 3 weeks ago:
Fucking of course. Leave it to such a dev to ensure no logical method can work the problem.
- Comment on Which one is selected? The "Yes" option or the "No" option? 3 weeks ago:
You should post this in the group assholedesign. This is genuinely so bad it’s infuriating.
- Comment on How the fuck do you meet new people? 3 weeks ago:
Crazy response coming - I’m around all the time and I actually enjoy meeting people. Living with a disability I don’t go out much except with my wife and son when we can. Other than that I don’t socialize but I would love to. So, in all sincerity, DM me anytime. Also open for video chat.

- Comment on Out of curiosity if a woman is in control of her own body. If the SCOTUS did not reverse Roe than why can't a woman in control become a prostitue? 3 weeks ago:
Plus it never even went so far as to address body autonomy, it was just a ruling over abortion on a federal level.
- Comment on Out of curiosity if a woman is in control of her own body. If the SCOTUS did not reverse Roe than why can't a woman in control become a prostitue? 3 weeks ago:
Because Roe v Wade did not establish a woman’s domain over her body, it established legal status of abortion on a federal level. Very specific.
That being said, sex work is about so much more than just a person’s body autonomy. There have been many societal concerns over the decades. I’m all for it, but the legal issues are complicated.
- 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. 4 weeks ago:
Case in point

They could try to get cease and desist all they want, there’s a constitutional right in most countries that protects such speech.
- 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. 4 weeks ago:
Catholics did not write the scripture that says being gay is bad; that’s from the Torah - the Old Testament. Christianity came after Judaism and believes in both the old and new testaments.
You could look up the exact text for it easily. It’s basically “he who lies with a man as with a woman…” and something about him being an abomination and should be put to death or something like that.
- Comment on Why are vegan and gluten free items more expensive? 4 weeks ago:
Anything that’s trendy they know people want to buy they can charge more because people pay it.
- Comment on What kind of laptop should I get? 4 weeks ago:
What are your usage/performance needs?
What operating system are you planning to use? If you are a Linux user or open to it, you can get amazing performance on older hardware than with Windows. The difference is astonishing, especially compared to Windows 10 or 11.
If you post some details about your budget and needs, it will be easy to make a recommendation.
Need DVD drive?
Need lightweight?
Stuff like that. - Comment on What have you been pondering about as of late? 4 weeks ago:
Goddamn amen; the same exact things you expressed precisely my thoughts!
- Comment on What have you been pondering about as of late? 4 weeks ago:
I already hit 50 and been in similar thoughts. It sucks just that you start thinking about it.
