  “There are no stupid questions. Only stupid people, asking questions.”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Would you consider me a “dry texter”?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  capitalizing the first letter makes you look like you were born in the 1970s

  one-word replies make you seem disinterested

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you feel like you've reached the end of what the world has to offer?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell no, not even close.

  IT STARTS TODAY

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What determines whether people are likely to purposely (but mistakenly) put two words together (without a space)?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s always interesting to me to see which words get joined and which do not. The rise of ubiquitous realtime spellcheck is forcing some standardization, but not always in ways I agree with. For example, it tried to separate spell from check in the previous sentence. Other examples are hotdog and icecream and doublewide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Who here does NOT have intrusive thoughts?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  And the lack of internal monologue? How is that experienced? Do you know what you’re going to say before you say it, or is it simultaneous? How do you problem-solve, can you ask yourself questions?

  I’m sorry if I’m being obnoxious, I’m just terribly curious. I’m always hungry for experiences outside my own.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why isn't free stuff (public domain/noncommercial) discussed as much as paid stuff?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Because no one’s going to make money off it and thus no one has a stake in promoting it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Speaking honestly, what has to happen for you personally to take to the street in protest of the current administration.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve already taken to the street in protest, starting eight years ago. Anyone who hasnt yet either isn’t going to or is just now coming of age.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  A satisfying crunch, I imagine.

  Seriously, we eat other mammals often. Why should birds not eat other birds?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do car share coops work? Have you ever been a member or started a car coop?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve joined a car share coöp that was based in my city, but now I do an as-needed car share service.

  The coöp had a (low) subscription cost, which meant I was penalized for not using it, but the cars were easy to find, reliable, and clean. I had a touchless membership card I swiped to unlock the cars. Insurance was included in membership, I paid gas and milage as well as a per-hour or cheaper per-day rate.

  But I prefer getaround. The idea is people who in cars are letting others use them when they’d otherwise be idle, sorta like AirBnB. But like AirBnB, you’ve got units that are only being used for rentals.

  That aside, there’s occasionally problems with individual vehicles, but it’s much cheaper, you can get a wide variety of vehicle types, and it’s easy to select an electric or hybrid to make gas costs minimal. Insurance can be purchased though the app. Changing a booking is a breeze. I plan to keep using this option.

  If all a candidate has to do to get elected is be less evil than the other, then there’s no incentive to be good; instead candidates are free to be as evil as they want up to the limit of the opposition. If a candidate had to be less evil than the person they’re succeeding, sure, we’d get less evil over time. But that’s not the case, they’re compared to their opponents not their predecessors. Every time we elect someone shitty we show them they don’t have to be any better than that to get elected.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not every candidate, but a general trend of “lesser evil” candidates. Obama wasn’t a lesser evil candidate, he was a genuinely good one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does anyone actually know what MAGA all agree they are getting out of all this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve been saying it for years and every time I’m told “but if you don’t vote the lesser evil the greater evil wins!”

  Well, as predicted, if you do vote the lesser evil the bar is lowered year after year until both are significantly more evil than before. Standards must be enforced. We need to demand candidates that are better than last year’s, not just better than the opposition.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hell, I chose homelessness over living with my parents. I would choose it over slavery every time.

  And further, I can abide a society that tolerates homelessness; I cannot abide a society that tolerates slavery. This is why the draft must be abolished, this is why private prisons must be abolished, this is why we need to uncouple healthcare from employment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do you think of anarchism?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Anarchy doesn’t mean no rules, it means no rulers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the dark, does anyone else sense things but not see them?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, but not just in the dark.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you do, the deletion might not federate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do many lame or incorrect comments get so much more attention than some witty or funny ones?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Timing plays a big role.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why did trump go after the Gulf of Mexico rather than New Mexico?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We already have the latter.

  Hard to compost someone alive… they just crawl out of the pile.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did anyone here ever actually play the Mousetrap board game or use the cards in Operation?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve played Operation straight by the rules several times. I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a copy of Mousetrap that had all the pieces.

  Arbitrage would iron out market inefficiencies across time as well as space.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If you're not attracted to anyone "in your league", but you cannot choose who you are attracted to, then what are you supposed to do?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  So it turns out people also are attracted to people below their “league”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Winter does not start on the same day everywhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does the winter solstice mark the beginning of winter, and not the center?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It doesn’t? Winter starts weeks before the solstice.

  Yes, your colon is a poop buffer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Apple kill iTunes for windows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have to double-check, but I think 1.7.2 was the last one with both Visualizer and Party Shuffle.

  It’s fucking amazing to me that in the decade since I haven’t been able to find a music library software that has both smart playlists and something like Party Shuffle. If I had more free time I might have written one myself by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did Apple kill iTunes for windows?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This is great news! Now I can finally go back to using the last good version of iTunes without worrying about it accidentally updating to a later version.
