- Comment on After being honored at The Game Awards for helping laid-off devs, Amir Satvat says he's received 'countless' hateful messages 2 days ago:
The article was incredibly light on specifics. What were the hateful / threatening messages? Why would anyone have a problem with helping developers find new jobs? Why were those developers fired in the first place?
- Comment on Why did people in the 90s/early 00s say that the internet "couldn't be taken down"? 3 days ago:
Authoritarian regimes must control the flow of information if they want to continue to exist. Just because they can disconnect themselves from the rest of the world doesn’t mean they’ve "taken down the Internet. "
- Comment on Makes more sense than the Imperial system 2 weeks ago:
Just “x10” with metric. With imperial, it’s usually “how many rods to a hogshead” or short tons and long tons or fathoms vs leagues.
- Comment on Causes of Death in London (1623) 2 weeks ago:
“Killed by several accidents.”
lol.
- Comment on Websites: Then vs Now 5 weeks ago:
I think the best way to make the Internet less sh*tty is to get away from Google search.
I like the SearX search engine. It gives old-school, relevant search results, not google ranked ones.
It’s also spread out over many separate instances, so you can pick the one that best suits your search needs:

- Comment on What is the argument for making poor/working class folks shoulder the burden of taxes? 1 month ago:
Rich people have special access to the legislative machinery that you and I don’t. Through
bribes“contributions” they can craft laws that let them avoid paying their fair share of the tax burden. They can also “modify” pending legislation to remove the penalties for breaking those laws. It must be nice to live in a consequence-free environment. - Comment on Should you trust that doctor? 1 month ago:
Dwarf Doc isn’t a medical doctor, that’s just his nickname. He’s a drug connection.

So just how much diarrhea DID Thanos cause, anyway?

I miss Nihilist Arby’s.

- Comment on How do people in this day in age become nazis/neonazies sexist or even incels when there is so much knowledge against it? Do they get anything out of being that way? 3 months ago:
I grew up watching WW2 movies and the Nazis were never shown as being anything other than Bad Guys. I would love to know how anyone grows up here in the U.S. and doesn’t know that.
- Comment on Geometry 5 months ago:
Equilateral triangle. All three sides are equal length and it has three interior angles that add up to exactly 180 degrees.
- Comment on Radioactivity 5 months ago:
There’s a couple of YouTube videos where urban explorers re-visited Chernobyl many years after the accident. They explored the area around the plant and visited the hospital where Russian firefighters were taken after they were exposed to debris from the reactor’s core.
Their clothing was seriously contaminated and was removed and stored in a room in the hospital’s basement. The explorers visited the basement where the clothing is still stored today. They didn’t get close to the clothing because it is still contaminated. As in, “not safe to enter the room” contaminated.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 months ago:
I’m seeing this on YouTube, as well. I’m interested in gaming and entertainment, but in the last couple of months, I’ve been getting absolute right-wing dipsh*ttery in my “Recommended” list.
It feels to me like YouTube is trying to rage-bait users into engaging in this trash, even though they’ve shown no interest in it.
- Comment on Archaeology Problems 5 months ago:
LISTER: What makes you think these aliens exist?
RIMMER: They must do, Lister! There’s so many things that are strange and odd. So many things we don’t have any explanation for.
LISTER: Like, um, why do intelligent people buy cinema hot dogs? Do you mean that sort of weird and mysterious thing?
RIMMER: No, Lister, I mean like the pyramids. How did they move such massive pieces of stone without the aid of modern technology?
LISTER: They had massive whips, Rimmer. Massive, massive whips.

THIS is what “AI” will really be used for. Making bullshit*t.

Oscar the Grouch is a scavenger.
- Comment on Why do hacked channels on youtube always post Tesla/SpaceX stuff? 5 months ago:
There’s definitely a YouTube algorithm thing going on, too. I’ve had a lot of these right-wing dipsh*t maga channels pop up on my YouTube home screen, recently. As in, more of them showing up in the last 6-8 months than I’ve seen in years.

The Appalachian mountains are full of hillbillies. THAT’S the scary part.
- Comment on Devs should not be "forced to run on a treadmill until their mental or physical health breaks", says publisher of Manor Lords, citing how gamers seem to be trained to expect endless content work now 5 months ago:
A good game will stand on its own merits. It will be complete and self-contained at launch. And any DLC released later will have been planned from the very start.
Endless updates is just another word for cosmetic micro-transactions and an excuse to make you keep the game online all the time.

Cows? NO! Coconuts? YES! Hydrogen? Maybe.
- Comment on Children is bugs 5 months ago:
Naming your child is serious business and both parents need to be fully informed.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like fireworks are a complete waste of money and a ridiculous amount of unnecessary Pollution? 5 months ago:
If it weren’t for fireworks, we wouldn’t have funny stories about dumb people shoving them in their ass cracks, setting them on fire and cauterizing their buttocks.
- Comment on every company right now 5 months ago:
Yup. They don’t understand what it is or what it does. All they know is that it makes even dumber venture capitalists open their wallets.

“But the planet is still there.”
Check and mate! I feel so PWN3D. You see? If you don’t mind not breathing, carbon dioxide isn’t so bad after all!
- Comment on Are there any good casual/low-stress mobile games that aren't filled with microtransactions? 5 months ago:
I like “Traveler’s Rest” because the game doesn’t force you to keep regular hours at your tavern. If you want, you can spend the whole day crafting and restocking until you’re ready to deal with customers again.
