I heard he was flying around looking for collectibles.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
If we were to erase the contributions of assholes, abusers, and shitheads the way we do frauds, it would set science, philosophy, and mathematics back hundreds of years.
- Comment on multilevel marvel 1 day ago:
If only people could accept that English being a living language isn’t just about the past, but words are changing now, and that’s OK.
This is for the people who gouge their own eyes out when they hear people say “unalived”; the people who (suspiciously) insist on the clinical definition of pedophile; and “it’s called a magazine actually” gun-brains.
- Comment on When your computer says "You don't have permission to edit this file": 1 day ago:
Either I don’t understand your comment, or you don’t understand chmod. What you describe ins’t beyond chmod; it’s the basic functionality of chmod.
- Comment on When your computer says "You don't have permission to edit this file": 2 days ago:
Mastering file permissions is a big part of becoming Linux capable. And it essential to the “everything is a file” ethos. Wanna lock down an important file or program? chmod is a powerful ally.
Microslop has tried to adopt a half-ass elevated permissions scheme, but with lame-ass UAC and users who’ve no idea why Explorer doesn’t have administrator rights on their administrator account.
- Comment on Why are we so afraid of cockroaches? 2 days ago:
Where I live, we have a problem with American cockroaches. American cockroaches are a good news/ bad news kinda deal. The good news is that they nest out of doors so they don’t live in your house, and their presence is not a commentary on your housekeeping.
The bad news is that they will get into your house and they’re about 4 times bigger than the German cockroaches that everyone is familiar with. You can hear them crawling, and they can fly.
I asked the exterminator how to get rid of them for good, and his advice was to move.
- Comment on When Windows users find the Threadiverse 3 days ago:
That’s not true. Linux users do this waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more than Microslop users. Microslop has billions of users, but fewer than 20 fanboys, worldwide.
- Comment on Everything is longer, including Florida Man 3 days ago:
Gulf of long Florida.

Andrew is still the second most hated royal ahead of the black lady.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
I’ve been reminded that Muhammad was a pedo like 4 times this week! WTF are you talking about? You and OP are entitled to post whatever, but you’re not entitled for everyone to celebrate bigotry with you.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 days ago:
It’s always so funny to me the way Western Islamophobs like to point out Islamic misogamy as though they’re not exactly the kind of people that Western women had to fight to get those rights.
- Comment on what even is the purpose of life? 6 days ago:
You’re not only allowed to make your own meaning, there is no other choice.
- Comment on Elon Musk taking delivery of his McLaren F1 shortly after selling Zip2 for $307 million in 1999 1 week ago:
It’s telling that someone who gets a windfall immediately purchases a status symbol. Almost as if the point of being rich is lost if everyone doesn’t know it.
Wealth is wasted on the rich.
- Comment on WOMEN. 1 week ago:
The reason chess is a segregated sport is because the male players couldn’t cope emotionally with co-ed.
Not only was their the sex-pest harassment stuff, but men who lost to women would become hysterical, hostile, and aggressive.
Women just needed clam, rational, and stoic people to play with, so they had to exclude men.

- Comment on I don't know about that one 1 week ago:
The idea that losers abuse substances is the one of the dumbest correlation/causation mistakes. Almost as stupid as “black people are more likely to be criminal”.
- Comment on US Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) joins Lemmy 1 week ago:
She reminds me of Tucker Carlson. Both were raised to prominence behind a more famous person being laid low. And both were felled in exactly the same way their predecessor was.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
If all communism is soviet, then all capitalism is colonialism and chattel slavery.
- Comment on Punkrock 1 week ago:
It’s ironic that there are so many prerequisites and requirements to be a fan of punk, while being a punk musician requires nothing. You don’t even need to know how to play an instrument or sing.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
One of the biggest problems with modern reading is that nobody ever has an hour to kill.
As raw entertainment, reading can’t compete with screens.
My tip is to ban your phone from the bathroom. Shitting is just about the only time you’re sitting still with nothing obvious to occupy your mind. In this situation a shampoo label is interesting.
- Comment on The speed of light 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s neat that Newton is taught first. As in: gravity is a function of mass. Because that works in so many scenarios.
But then you learn that gravity bends light and that photons have no mass.
So… Gravity isn’t a force, it’s more like going downhill… in the dimension of time.
- Comment on Companies looking at Their Al Bill after laying Off their employees: 2 weeks ago:
and let them use the AI systems to increase productivity.
This sounds exactly like a solution from a useless middle-manager. Keep the faith.

- Comment on SBA G Series #136 2 weeks ago:
It’s true that nihilism cannot justify any action. Remember that when someone says that somebody did something “because” they’re nihilist.
The truth is that nihilists aren’t upset about the lack of meaning; it doesn’t matter that it doesn’t matter. Everybody constructs their own meaning, nihilists just acknowledge that.

- Comment on Astronomers seek global ban on space advertising 2 weeks ago:
If we ban space advertising, then only criminals will be able to advertise in space.
What we need to fight bad advertisers in space is good advertisers in space.
This could be solved if we only allowed astronauts to conceal-carry ad-copy.
(I like to use gun arguments out of context, because it emphasizes how dumb they are.)
- Comment on Hail power! 2 weeks ago:
I’m apologize. I didn’t mean to insult a species treasure.
How could I have guessed a people should be so culturally impoverished? America produced jazz, blues, and rock and roll: I should check my privilege.
- Comment on Hail power! 2 weeks ago:
This is disrespectful to Satan. I mean the man invented Jazz to corrupt the youth and you think he’s wasting his time with dumb-ass boomer blues-rock? What a downgrade, no wonder Satan hates Christians.
- Comment on Are doctor's of presidents still bound by HIPPA even if they see a major decline that would massively effect the country? Or can they tell the truth? And can they lie if under pressure from one? 2 weeks ago:
The cure for Trump-induced-anxiety is to read history.
Woodrow Wilson had a stoke in office and was incapacitated for months. The VP never took over, instead Wilson’s wife basically became the Steward of
GondorAmerica. So until Melania is in charge of the Executive Branch, this isn’t the craziest we’ve been in regards to Presidential heath.Y’all gotta stop your desperate search for a savior. The 25^th^ isn’t a handy alternative to impeachment; it’s actually much more difficult because it would require even more Republicans to agree. Donald Trump is America’s medicine and we’re going to have to drink it all.
- Comment on New Polycule Just Dropped 2 weeks ago:
There are plenty of Republicans that pretend to be folksy morons. Tuberville is the genuine article.
