I hate this argument. “You people can’t exist in public because I might have to talk to my stupid kids”.
- Comment on Do you read analog clocks to the exact minute? How do you do this quickly? 3 days ago:
I think of analog time as kinda a pie chart telling me how much of the minute and hour that’s elapsed. So I don’t see 13:45, I see 75% past one o’clock.
Does that make sense?

IDK why so many hyper-pedants waste their time on the internet when they could be studying to be taxonomists.
- Comment on Microsoft Still Can't Say How Much the ROG Xbox Ally X Will Cost Due to "Macro-Economic" Conditions, Despite Announcing Release Date and Availability Details(Leaked prices $549.99/$899 for Ally/Ally ) 5 days ago:
At that price point, you may as well get a laptop, desktop, or just a frigging XBox (with some games).

Calling Cain Abelist is some funny shit.

Boy, you’ve obviously never seen Precious (2009)
- Comment on Refreshing to occasionally see an honestly written obituary 1 week ago:
I think it’s wise to keep in mind that outrage and moral condemnation of mothers abandoning their children is often the chain that keeps women in bad situations. It’s also a double standard that rarely applies to the legion of men who abandon their families every day.

- Comment on Player Spends $32,000 on NBA 2K25 in Just Five Months 2 weeks ago:
Don’t think of this as an individual making stupid choices with a game. Think of this as a game with thousands of players designed to target and take advantage of the neuro-divergent or those susceptible to problem gambling.
Micro-tranactions are a predatory gambling mechanic and this person was robbed of this money.
- Comment on Games Where Nothing Happens (SPOILERS for various game plots) 2 weeks ago:
Every Zelda game is a sisyphean adventure where you never really defeat the evil or restore Hyrule, you just reset the board for the next evil apocalypse.
- Comment on Isn't Batman's questioning Superman because he is an unknown entity basically the same reason Lex Luthor has against Superman? 2 weeks ago:
Unlike Bat or Super, people like Lex exist. Lex doesn’t hate Super because he’s powerful, he hates him because he’s loved.
Lex’s whole worldview is that the people who are smart and cunning should rule over those lesser. Super’s existence contradicts this by serving the interests of people who are his inferior.
Lex must believe that Super is a fraud who doesn’t deserve his position because otherwise Lex is the pretender.
- Comment on Uncovering the Deceptive Logic That Exposes Jordan Peterson - YouTube 2 weeks ago:
I think the difference is that scientific theory exists even when nobody believes or is even aware of it, while religious faith is dependent on people believing it.
If humanity lost all knowledge, but didn’t go extinct, we’d eventually reconstruct chemistry, but the doctrine of the trinity would be lost forever.
- Comment on Is it worth selling on eBay in 2025? 2 weeks ago:
What I don’t like about ebay is that as a seller you appear to have few rights or recourse in a dispute, while being a buyer comes with little protection or assurance either.
Just goes to show which party is being protected. I know I’m horrible for buying from Amazon, but easy returns and shipping are worth any money you may save on ebay.

It’s always lovely to be reminded that eugenics remains a popular idea so long as you don’t call it that.

Simply rename the file from “file.webp” to “file.png” and it’ll work fine. No need to convert anything.
- Comment on Man, I really got hit with a "All men are predators, it's in the studies". 2nd wave feminism is a scourge on feminism itself. 4 weeks ago:
In the US, of 100 rapes against girls and women reported to the police, 18 will be prosecuted.
Jeffery Epstein and his cohort abused hundreds of girls, and all anybody cares about is what powerful man might be embarrassed. Has anyone proposed or suggested anything to protect girls from rich perverts?
From the founding till 1951, raping your wife was legal in all 50 states. And that protection extended in several states beyond the federal change. Some states even made common-law husbands immune.
The Christian Bible considers rape to be a property crime. in conservative circles, girls as young as 12 are regularly married off to their rapist.
The leading cause of death for pregnant people in the US is homicide.
I think young women considering men to be a threat is pretty rational.
- Comment on Interesting 5 weeks ago:
The idea that our nervous system is the true “us” that pilots an inanimate and disposable body is the same dualism concept as a “soul”. Except it lacks the divinity of religion or the accuracy of biology; worst of both worlds. Science-fiction-scripture.

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 Microsoft is is bed with Google now, in a worse, more OS-integrated way than Mozilla was. This timeline sucks. 2 months 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.

This is a real thing. They’ve got a website, a facebook, and a youtube.
- Comment on Orthodoxal jews occasionally make something right 2 months 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 What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 2 months 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.
