- Comment on Show me what slimed you. 1 day ago:
Image. It is pretty heavy I guess…
- Comment on How come manufacturers use base 10 units when calculating the space of a hard drive? Giving you 931GB per TB Hard Drive. Why not advertise the number windows reads? 2 days ago:
Marketing. They can advertise higher numbers than they practically deliver.
- Comment on Jeff Bezos claims AI could allow 3-day workweeks; man who won't give employees piss breaks claims many piss breaks on the horizon 2 weeks ago:
He looks like Lex Luther from Smallville.
- Comment on Minimum Wage Must Cover Basics 3 weeks ago:
They should also be able to afford a little bit of fun too.
- Comment on They say, "You'll have to wait". It's a bullshit argument against Universal Healthcare. 3 weeks ago:
In the American system you don’t wait because insurance just denies you instead.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
Well done, it had me laughing. I always appreciate a good “your mom” insult.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
Is everything ok? You seem to be going through something here. Just know we’re here for you if you decide you need help.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
I looked at a few of the posts from the screen shot and most of that “engagement” is people warning other people that it’s bot posted content, or pointing out reposted Reddit memes. I don’t consider that real engagement. There are a few that seen to have created real discussion, but the majority of the posts are noise.
- Comment on Reddit repost bots taking over entire communities 4 weeks ago:
Bots are not “solving that problem” because the lack of posts was never really the problem in the first place. The problem was lack of anything to engage with. Bot posts do nothing for engagement. Replying to their posts is just talking into the wind.
We to want to have conversations with real people; to know that when we insult the poster’s mother that we’re causing real, lasting harm to a flesh and blood person.
- Comment on Sophia the robot - I will destroy humans 5 weeks ago:
I came here to ask the same question
- Comment on Just to get this straight. If I stand outside a voting center and give each person 500 bucks to vote for me. That is illegal? But if I am a Dipshit In Chief and offer 5k that is 100 percent legal? 1 month ago:
They won’t even let you stand outside a polling place and hand out water bottles to people waiting in line.
- Comment on That's the worst possible view for a hotel 1 month ago:
That’s pretty bad, but if you think it’s the “worst possible”, you lack imagination.
- Comment on The town and HOA only have two settings for a holiday: Jesus and Troops. I guess Labor days is a "Troops" holiday. 1 month ago:
It’s all great until a couple of crazy little Hitlers move in and take over.
- Comment on After a year of struggling and losing my job to AI, my game finally made it to 4000 wishlists! This is how it feels: 1 month ago:
Sounds very cool. I’m just hoping the title isn’t giving away what could otherwise be a very clever potential plot twist.
- Comment on “Tf???” 1 month ago:
Moopsy! Image
- Comment on How about instead, a longer healthier retirement? 1 month ago:
The number must go up at any cost.
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 1 month ago:
Is there anyone reading this that doesn’t?
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 1 month ago:
Be angry at the right things then. This person’s post is basically being angry that someone agreed with them but used slightly different words to do it.
- Comment on The American Dream, minus 60% 1 month ago:
I do not have a problem with the “60%” wording. It’s more accurate and in some cases, larger than “majority”. Complaining about that just feels like playing word games.
- Comment on Hot Ones trying to sneak in the package protection 1 month ago:
Aren’t they already legally required to get you the item you paid for without this anyway? Like if I don’t receive the item I paid for, through no fault of my own, that’s their problem to fix, isn’t it? Otherwise it’d be theft?
- Comment on Waiting and getting treated is better than waiting and going bankrupt 1 month ago:
It’s called triage. If you go in with a splinter you’re going to have to wait behind the guy that came in after you with a piece of rebar through his skull.
Lots of people don’t understand that it isnt a deli counter where you take a number and are called in order.
Many of these conservative “studies” compare wait times between Canadian booboos and American traumas without explicitly calling it out, and that’s not a fair comparison.
- Comment on What is the easiest way to calculate the calories in this bread machine recipe? 1 month ago:
Looks like a standard price of heavy paper, so I’d say about 9 calories. It’s going to be a pretty tough chew though.
- Comment on Doorless showers just make a mess and everything ends up wet 1 month ago:
That shower is larger than my entire bathroom
- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 1 month ago:
That’s a “speed pillow”. There is a whole range of different types, bumps, humps, pillows, pads, etc that all have different applications and effects.
- Comment on This camouflaged speed bump 1 month ago:
Most speed bumps in the usa will fuck up your car, or at least give you a really bad day if you hit them at anything over 3mph. There are milder versions with names like “speed pillows” that let you go a little faster, but even those don’t let you go the full speed limit.
- Comment on Groceries are expensive and they're too busy talking about culture war 1 month ago:
If you don’t go in there and tell your story, they will make one up for you. They’ll still try to trip you up and mis-frame things you say, but at least you have a chance of reaching some people
- Comment on Solar panels for surveillance but none for affordable power 1 month ago:
The lack of understanding in this post astounding.
- Comment on How would I go about turning this into a power-generating wind turbine. 2 months ago:
Put it inside one of those giant wind tunnels.
- Comment on 92% of American adults aren’t going to a doctor because they cannot afford it. The health insurance industry must be dissolved & all of its executives criminally prosecuted for murder, conspiracy, an… 2 months ago:
And they are still paying for that insurance they can’t afford to use.
- Comment on Saw this at the store this morning, took a double take 2 months ago:
Yup. I got carded at Home Depot when buying a saw blade because “it could be used as a weapon”.
