Text-to-speech is your friend here.
I use a website called “speechify” but there are a lot of options.
Still helps to read along with of, but having that auditory input on tandem with visually reading will keep you on track like you’ve never experienced.

I was going to post some snark about not putting it past humanity to find a way to set the ocean on fire too, but… wait that sounds familiar… oh yeah, we’ve fucking done it already!

“Definitely unrelated … here let’s pull the trigger together.”

Considering the direction global politics is taking, setting the planet on fire would be an act of mercy at this point.
- Comment on This might blow up in our face 1 week ago:
Just because we always have doesn’t mean we always will.
We’re managing our planet like a chronic drunk driver who’s somehow never had a collision. “It’s fine, I do this all the time!”
All it takes is on ‘not fine’ and the story’s over.
I just hope whatever emerges from the ashes evolves to be a species that’s less of a dickhead than humans. …assuming anything emerges from the ashes; that isn’t a guarantee either.
- Comment on Biden pledges 'peaceful transition of power' as he promises to work with Trump in last days of administration 2 weeks ago:
Why? It’s official presidential business. Just hang out in the Whitehouse until Trump finally finds some way to die.
What’s the worst that could happen? …cuz it’s a hell of a lot better than what we just elected.

I think previous poster is being critical of the moral high grounders that just sold the planet out, not actually supporting that shit.
SpongeBob “We did it, Patrick!” meme energy.
Looking at their comment history, they don’t appear to be a dipshit.

For real though, what does the rescue float in the meme represent irl?
Cuz I sure as fuck won’t be praying, but I’m not really seeing any options other than watching in horror as our country burns down around us.
We can’t even point to the electoral college fucking us over this time - an actual majority of voters decided they want to experience 1930s Germany live and in color.
We’re not going to fix a political system when the majority of actual voters are evil to the core.

If we’re talking that shitty highschool cafeteria pizza, I swear doing this made it taste better.
To hell with calories or fitness or any of that crap - it’s the noms that matter.

In the mean time, decorate some pikes with billionaire noggins. The problem might fix itself if extreme wealth becomes a mortal liability.
Trickle-down economics works like a piñata - you gotta crack it open before anything starts to trickle.
- Comment on Ads 3 weeks ago:
Ya know, I thought we were talking YouTube specifically, but looking back at the OP it just says video, and I guess my brain just injected the word YouTube on it.
So, fair enough, if you’ve got a media service that isn’t run by a bunch of human shitstains, then yea support their work.
If it’s YouTube, don’t give em a cent.

uBlock Origin doesn’t accept donations. That’s the only product in this conversation worth supporting.
- Comment on Ads 3 weeks ago:
If you’re getting ads on videos, you need to get you shit together and install uBlock Origin asap.

Nothing a little smoked paprika can’t fix.
- Comment on Have you ever had a shit that smelled like a hair salon? 4 weeks ago:
Yeah fair enough. I couldn’t even afford health insurance for the first couple years working as a civ surgical tech, so my emergency plan was basically ‘if I die I die’, so I definitely get it.
But do at least treat those kinds of changes as a contributing factor to consider along any other symptoms you notice. Sudden change in smell, color, consistency, frequency, etc - any one of them, keep an eye on it; all of them at once (and again, lasting longer than what just a bad meal would cause), something is definitely fucked up.

If I drive like a grandma I can get it just past 40. Actually hitting 42 would be pretty tough.
- Comment on Have you ever had a shit that smelled like a hair salon? 4 weeks ago:
If it stays different. A bad meal can do some weird things to your toilet, but you should be back to normal pretty quick. If it stays different, something isn’t working the way it’s supposed to, so yeah that’s definitely a red flag.
The stuff that comes out of your body can tell you a lot about the parts inside.
- Comment on Have you ever had a shit that smelled like a hair salon? 4 weeks ago:
I’m not a poop or perm expert.
So, also not a poop expert, but I do know poop should smell like poop. If the smell of your dookies changes suddenly and doesn’t return back to normal in the time it takes to pass a few meals, you should probably go see a poop expert. AKA, your doctor.

They make a great product. And they’re far from the worst company on earth.
…but that doesn’t mean they don’t have shit ethics or that you should ignore their malice and support that behavior by purchasing their product.
Pirate their shit, enjoy it, and don’t give them a cent.
- Comment on Nintendo, famed for hating emulation, likely using Windows PCs to emulate SNES games at its museum 5 weeks ago:
It sued itself in it’s confusion!
- Comment on Game Freak has been allegedly hacked, with source codes for Pokemon games reportedly leaked 5 weeks ago:
What did I get flipped?
Legality vs morality
Why wouldn’t torrenting the source code of proprietary software would be a legal issue?
It would be a legal issue. But it’s not a moral issue, which is why so few people are showing sympathy for Nintendo. They lose nothing if someone gets a copy of the code - there’s no victim. They do however have a LONG reputation for weaponizing the legal system by attacking fans with frivolous lawsuits - those DO have a victim, and are therefore a moral issue with Nintendo as the aggressor.
So, fuck em.
But regardless of context, again don’t conflate legality with morality. Ever. History is absolutely stuffed with atrocities that adhere to established law, that doesn’t make those atrocities okay. Videogame code is pretty minescule compared to legal attrocities like slavery or the holocost etc, but point remains that the law in-and-of-itself doesn’t mean shit.
Also fuck Nintendo.

- Comment on How you know the Democrats think Trump is going to win 1 month ago:
Do conservatives even like Trump? He’s had a disastrous effect on the economy, the environment, the military, our rights, and our respect from the rest of the world… what exactly is he conserving other than a stream of offenses listed in this community’s rule #1? There’s nothing conservative about that man, nor liberal, nor any other political ideology: just narcissism.
Y’all can do better than this. Get back to your roots and bring some actual constructive policy proposals to the table; stop falling on the sword for this conman.
