- Comment on Fear not, for I am watchful. You have been chosen. 17 hours ago:
This is like when your a kid and run into a teacher at the grocery.
- Comment on Is audiophile bullshit cheating? 17 hours ago:
Audiophile is a misnomer because what they love is the equipment, not the music. Technophile would be more apt. (and it could apply to the identical condition in 10,000 different hobbies).
- Comment on The show I was watching went from "Free" to "Paid" *while I was watching it* 18 hours ago:
Yea, they pulled this shit on me with the “Shogun” series. Two or three episodes in and BANG! rugpull.
- Comment on and i took that purrsonally 18 hours ago:
This is funny, but it implies that the cheetah goes on to defeat the tiger in battle and… nah.
- Comment on Could gunpowder be chemically addictive for humans ? 1 day ago:
The constituent parts of gunpowder are sulphur, charcoal, and potassium nitrate.
- Comment on happy fuck cops day to those who celebrate 1 day ago:
My favorite cop jokes:
-
how many good cops does it take to change a lightbulb? I’ll let you know when good cops change anything.
-
The cops are like a box of chocolates. They’ll kill your fucking dog.
-
Cops be like: You can’t call me a racist! Look, my wife’s eye is black.

- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 3 days ago:
AI doesn’t exist. This is like asking an atheist why they hate god.
If you’re talking about LLMs and the like, they’re unpopular on Lemmy because tech people are over represented here and tech people understand how these technologies work and why all the hype isn’t just false, but malicious.

Competition in the games industry causing the slop to fall to the bottom!
Do you really believe that markets and competition creates better products and services? How do you square that with basic observations about how the world is? If success was linked to quality, then Subway would be the worlds best food; Clash of Clans the best video game; and Tesla the best car.
The markets of the world say that Nvidia is worth more than the Pharmaceutical Industry.

Isn’t this the reason Epstein and Trump broke up?
- Comment on Language 5 days ago:
This is a lie. America produces ~15B gallons of Alcohol from our precious corn every year. We just put it in our cars, that’s all.

- Comment on Controversial horror game Horses is the top-selling new game on GOG even as it gets kicked off the Humble Store one day after launch 1 week ago:
Do digital store fronts play-through all the games, expansions, and DLC they list on their stores? This doesn’t seem practical.
- Comment on The possible regret of having gotten a divorce 1 week ago:
Anybody who laughs at this joke has a Yahoo email address.
- Comment on What's the best way to answer someone who accuses you of being a bot because they don't like what you have to say? 1 week ago:
Yes, I’m programed to respond to dumb comments to increase engagement.
- Comment on Is there an actual picture of Mohamed or painting that we can view? Without pissing off all of Islam? 2 weeks ago:
There is a fresco in the SCOTUS courtroom with a theme of “lawbringers” of history. Mohamed is featured.
- Comment on People who trade their time for money without saving up to buy back their freedom and time should be called voluntary slaves, not employees 2 weeks ago:
This sounds like some kind of hyper-libertarianism where even slavery is a individual choice or a personal failure.
- Comment on Obama's got jokes 2 weeks ago:
Obama has launched more drone strikes than any other Peace-Prize winner in history.
He’s certainly not the most controversial Nobel winner, but his award was embarrassing in the sense that European intelligentsia was congratulating backward America for electing a black President.
You may not agree that this was condescending, but it’s hard to argue that Obama’s legacy is of the peacemaker.
- Comment on This would be terrible for my ad revenue 3 weeks ago:
What’s “g**r” ?
- Comment on What's the main device to hammer in a nail? 5 weeks ago:
It’s a bullshit question
- Comment on Um, actually, Neville Chamberlain didn't "cave" to Hitler, he actually got a lot out of the deal. 5 weeks ago:
Whenever anyone says Chamberlan “gave up” Czechoslovakia I ask one simple question: What was he supposed to do? He could have declared war, like the lion Churchill did for Poland. But I’ll remind you that the only thing England sent to Poland was thoughts and prayers. Followed by over a year of “phony” war.
Look at a map. You’ll notice that Czechoslovakia is quite far from England. With fucking Germany in between!
The whole Chamberlan meme is just right-wing propaganda to delegitimize diplomacy. It only makes sense if you don’t think about it.
- Comment on Whatever happened to pickup artists? Did they evolve into alpha males or ascend to a higher plane? 5 weeks ago:
Public misogynists posing as ‘self help’ have been around forever and the only thing that changes is the nomenclature.
The movie “Magnolia” (1999) features a character that does the whole manosphere shtick back when those grifters had to sell their merch on stage at conference centers because Youtube wouldn’t even be a thing for 5-6 more years.
- Comment on All of these people with degrees and years of research don't know anything! Only trust your favorite conspiracy theorist 1 month ago:
Just want to add my own conspiracy theory: Junior is not reacting to the lack of evidence, but push-back from the antivaxers.
- Comment on Not Looking for a recipe or a how to guide. But when meth rolled thru my town they called it either redneck speed or bathtub speed. With all chemicals did people really do it in a bathtub?? 1 month ago:
Purdue pharma followed strict manufacturing and purity standards to produce a drug that killed more Americans than the Viet Cong and Al Qaeda combined.
Can we say that the American healthcare industry really protects it’s customers from harm any better than the cartels?
- Comment on And I'm not sorry. 1 month ago:
What the Skyler? We supposed to hate Rose too?
- Comment on If you feel the US has been kind to you, youre probably in the category of people got us into this mess. I dont think its wrong to embrace the chaos. 1 month ago:
The politics that support minorities and marginalized groups in America still throw untold millions of people into the furnace abroad.
You could argue that supporting a particular US government throws fewer people into the fire, but your still choosing who deserves to be saved.
- Comment on If a girl asks you if you're big, are you supposed to lie or not? 1 month ago:
Penis size is 99% male insecurity and 1% female preference.
- Comment on Windows 11 Debloat Script/Program? 1 month ago:
The problem with Windows ‘debloat’ scripts is that they monkey with esoteric gedit policies and registry tweaks.
Any Windows update, even security ones, can break the tweaks, cause bugs, or even instability. And naturally the users have no idea which of the tweaks is causing the problem. Especially when its been months since you used the scripts.
Now “deep customization” can break Linux too. The difference is that Linux developers are not going break your tweaks on purpose. For example, Windows recently closed some of the workarounds to install Windows on a local account.
Microsoft decides what users can do with Windows. Company officials have admitted that they’re already coding the OS with AI, and that future Windows versions are going to be AI powered. The Recall behavior of taking screenshots to be analyzed by AI to catalogue everything you do isn’t being developed as a Windows feature, but a core functionality of the OS.
What kind of mouse are you using anyway?
- Comment on Luddites 1 month ago:
The Luddites were an early form of direct action of working people against the ownership class. They were also an early example of workers rights movement being crushed by State violence.
It’s discouraging that their history in popular understanding is 1000% from the perspective of said ownership class.
You may not like it, but in England, this is what peak corn looks like.
