The biggest difference between transistor radios and BT hardware is that BT will never give you a prize for being the 9th caller.
- Comment on Weekly Recommendations Thread: What are you playing this week? 5 days ago:
I’m just starting “blasphemous” and “inscription”. I just completed “Axiom Verge”.
- Comment on double kill! 2 weeks ago:
No recoil, but you might feel a little sting.
- Comment on Finally someone who can pronunce it 2 weeks ago:
This is the first one of these I’ve upvoted.
- Comment on I have searched far and wide 2 weeks ago:
Your search has still only turned up a forgery.
- Comment on Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was. This timeline sucks. 2 weeks ago:
This isn’t cooperation, this is rivalry. The point is for you to use Edge instead of Chrome.
Just another skirmish in the war for what matters most: which tech-giant is the default choice.
- Comment on Brand awareness 2 weeks ago:
This is a real thing. They’ve got a website, a facebook, and a youtube.
- Comment on Orthodoxal jews occasionally make something right 2 weeks ago:
I love all the little ways observant Jews try to lawyer their way out of the inconvenience of their own religious observance.
For example, some elevators in NYC run continuously on Shabbat, stopping at every floor so nobody has to push any buttons.
I just love the contradiction of an all powerful, omniscient God that can be so easily tricked, delightful.
- Comment on Too many non-working holidays in America. 2 weeks ago:
Come for the racism, stay for the contempt of working people in general.
- Comment on Oh lord, Oh no 2 weeks ago:
I swear baby, this is my first early access. This has never happened to me before.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 weeks ago:
Crush patriarchy. That’s the system that’s failed these men after all. It wasn’t progressive values that promised them women to dispose of. It wasn’t feminism that promised them easy success and automatic status.
It’s the promise of patriarchy that has “been stolen from us”. And it’s the restoration of patriarchy these men are clamoring for. Men want their privilege back and the Left can accommodate them for the low low price of jettisoning feminist values from the movement.
This is really the most Democrat bullshit ever. Left politics is getting more support than ever, but we’re going to get obsessed with pleasing the groups that hate and oppose us instead of championing the issues of those who support us.
- Comment on Reappraisal of the Geologic Time Scale: Evidence for a 6,001-year-old Earth 3 weeks ago:
I was tired of being a Darwinist. Now I follow the writings of Dickens; I’m a Dickhead.
- Comment on Hertz, showing the difference between science and engineering 3 weeks ago:
If you think about it, almost all computer-technology is radio. Wifi, bluetooth, GPS, radar, and cellular are literally radio. Meanwhile everything else runs on transistor tech developed and refined… for radios.
Our modern economy couldn’t exist if people like Hertz and Maxwell didn’t get to toy with their useless hobbies. But we can’t rely on the curiosity of the leisure class anymore. Basic research is expensive, necessary, and a public good. I’m afraid that the Trump regime has already spoiled the secret sauce that makes America the technology leader of the world.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 3 weeks ago:
You conflate being Asian (a resident of a continent) with Slavic (a cultural group). So what is race? A coordinate, or a cuisine?
Race is so unreal that you can’t even keep the lore straight in your own head.
- Comment on Is empathy based on a financial bell curve? 3 weeks ago:
Spaces like 8cun and kiwifarms are very welcoming to regular type dudes with centrist politics and mainstream opinions. They’re not nasty, unreasonable, and deranged like us. They’ll never challenge a man who identifies as normal.
- Comment on Is empathy based on a financial bell curve? 3 weeks ago:
It’s really hard to hurt another person when you feel their pain.
Consider the sadist. How can you enjoy someone’s suffering if you can’t recognize it?
The most wicked people are advanced empaths.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 3 weeks ago:
We don’t know. Forces in and near black holes break physics. There is tons of speculation, but speculation is all there is.

- Comment on More like a bacterial infection imo 3 weeks ago:
A large contributor to Irish suffering were the British corn laws, a tariff that kept the price of barley, wheat, and oats artificially high. So when potato crops failed, the poor Irish couldn’t afford substitutes. Ironically, American maze was exempt from the corn laws, so much of that was imported to Ireland.
Tariffs: never any externalities or unintended consequences; you will certainly not regret imposing tariffs.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
What’s ironic is the same people warning of Sharia law and a Muslim takeover conspiracies are the same people actively clawing back women’s rights in the West TODAY!.
Stop pretending that bigotry and chauvinism are products of critical thought or rationality.
- Comment on "I Took Every American Airlines “Flight” That’s Actually a Bus" 4 weeks ago:
It’s insane to go through TSA for a bus. I can’t believe a person would do that on purpose.
- Comment on Should I apologize to this person? 4 weeks ago:
If someone cuts contact with you, it’s up to them to reestablish. You don’t need this person’s acknowledgement to deal with your regret.
- Comment on Well whenever you notice something like *that*, a wizard did it 4 weeks ago:
The motions which the planets now have,…could not spring from any natural cause alone, but were impressed by an intelligent Agent.
Non-credible scientist, notorious for spreading his “theories” about planetary motion.
- Comment on HIGH ON LIFE 2 Official Trailer 4 weeks ago:
it’s interesting that the guns were silent throughout the trailer.
- Comment on Is feigned happiness remotely similar to actual happiness? 4 weeks ago:
No. To feign happiness one must be aware they they are not happy.
- Comment on Winging it 4 weeks ago:
Also, the visages were of real men. Often the patrons of the painter or someone else to be honored.
- Comment on Well OK then 4 weeks ago:
I like how the curse is in cursive so that the kids can’t read it. Kinda like a captcha to prove your genx or older.
- Comment on Looking for the perfect 5 year anniversary gift? 4 weeks ago:
When I read that, in my head it’s spoken to the music of “revolution number 9” by the Beatles.
- Comment on when you thought it couldn't get any better 4 weeks ago:
Top five reasons to use Windows:
- I need it for work
- I need it for my games
- I need it for my hardware
- It’s what I’ve always used
- I can turn all that crap off and run Windows like an operating system that I own and control at least until the next security update installs Copilot into my mouse cursor.
