Ah, to be 6 years old again.

Ah, the American healthcare system!
- Comment on Acetone: A Thread 3 weeks ago:
That’s just the natural aging process. Plumbing just gets saggy and wrinkly. Ask any man over 50.
- Comment on Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices? 5 weeks ago:
I mean, as humans, toxicity isn’t a deterrent, it’s a selling feature!
- Comment on What’s your best “they must have had a lot of fun making this” movie? 5 weeks ago:
That last fact warms my heart immensely. I love Kurt Russell and John Carpenter, and it’s so refreshing to hear “they really enjoyed doing that”. Usually the “fun fact” you hear about movies you love is that everyone was awful and miserable.
- Comment on Meow 1 month ago:
Most usual pets don’t care for my existence at all.
That sucks, dude. I’m sorry you’ve never experienced that.
Also, a cat comes into your house and you have to feed it for a day: Image
- Comment on Meow 1 month ago:
But to ask “would people actually care for, shelter, and feed an animal they didn’t know? Like just bond with a creature for what? Emotional connection, companionship, and kinship to another living thing? I love animals, tho” is just a weird take. Like, you can love animals (or babies) and not want to be responsible for them in your home, but to be incredulous about why someone would want that is ridiculous.
“Would people really let some stray live with them?”
That’s literally the history of house cats. A million times, yes, people want to hang out with random cats.
You don’t need to want cats or babies to see why other people would want cats or babies.

But he’s draining the swamp! And the bogs, fens, wetlands, critical aquifers…
- Comment on What Did William Burrito Mean by This? 1 month ago:
That’s one of the things I respect the hell out of with Bill Burr. He says plenty of shit I disagree with, but also says lots that I strongly agree with. His opinions are truly his own and he’ll voice them to a reasonable point. He’s no one’s parrot.

Pikachu ex? More like Pikacheex, am I right?
- Comment on Should I be Concerned? 2 months ago:
Can you provide evidence for this
Oh, no, we’re in lemmyshitpost, so I was just talking shit about the absolutely insane marketing choice to try to sell them as “triangles”.
But here we are talking about it, so fuck me, it’s working.
- Comment on Should I be Concerned? 2 months ago:
That’s a very generous assumption for a company whose “flavoured, uhhh, triangles” can’t pass the legal threshold of the word “chip” or “snack”, let alone “tortilla”.
- Comment on When will we have auto turrets mounted on plane engines to stop birdstrikes? 2 months ago:
Terminal velocity is really only relevant for objects that go below terminal velocity and then start falling. Bullets famously come out of guns very fast, so fast they go into people.
While air will slow the bullet down, tell that to the guy over over 2 miles away from Viacheslav Kovalskyi
Now, bird shot ain’t sniper rounds, but the point stands.
- Comment on Doordash deserves it's fate 2 months ago:
“Freedom” to “free market” types is the freedom to do whatever you want with no consequences regardless of the impact to others.
“Free market” means if you get duped or swindled then “you deserved it”.
“Free market” means if it really causes harm then “people just won’t buy it”.
“Free market” is way more what most people think anarchy is than what anarchists are advocating for.
Anarchy is “if I want to do cocaine and I die, that’s on me, the government shouldn’t be allowed to control what I do with my body”
Free market is “we should be allowed to add a little bit of cocaine to this baby formula so our brand beats out the competition and no one should be allowed to tell us we can’t”
- Comment on Anon has a business idea 2 months ago:
It is. But if you fully and openly disclose that’s what you’re doing when selling a individual a personalized product for literally their own enjoyment, I don’t see the harm.
Sure, the client isn’t going to tell people that weren’t there that it’s all generated, but what’s the problem? Someone might believe you were media-attractive 10 years ago at your wedding?
Photography probably put a lot of portrait painters out of business, but it didn’t destroy painting as an art form.
Grab that bag, man.

Hi, I’d like to apply for a mortgage. No, just a children’s mortgage, thanks.

- Comment on Frostpunk creators cancel "Project 8" and lay off staff amid concerns that "narrative-driven, story-rich games" don't sell 3 months ago:
I’m in there. I see “story rich” and it reads as a crutch for no gameplay, or a premise for a book without the responsibility of pacing.
I know that’s far from true, and there are loads of great story-rich games that are fun and engaging. But when that’s the main tag, it turns me away.

To be fair, Rogers didn’t die. It monopolized data communication with insufficient regulation. It had an inevitable outage that could have been bypassed if not for the reasons listed.
Rogers continues to make stacks while the public foots the bill.
