- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 2 months ago:
I’m not sure what that means
- Comment on What can I do with US$10K that is a good investment? 2 months ago:
I’m a software engineer but can’t even get a call back due to the fact that tons of us are unemployed right now. Many unemployed have more experience than I do.
The best part is that I can’t even get a job at a grocery store because I’m “overqualified” according to one store in my neighborhood.

You can definitely touch an IRA. Had to empty mine since I’ve been unemployed.
- Comment on How come LED Light Bulbs only last for about 2-3 Years? 2 months ago:
I have had the same light bulbs since 2012. One of them broke when I dropped it while moving. Otherwise, no issues at all. Philips brand that I bought a box of 12 of when I moved into an apartment that year. Maybe I’m just lucky, but still no issues.
- Comment on My new company let me join the union on my first day, within their onboarding app 3 months ago:
It depends on the state. Some states don’t have right to work laws, meaning that you can be forced to join a union to work a certain job. Unions are great ideas but some of them really do suck. My ex was sexually harassed repeatedly by her manager at a grocery store and the union reps told her to take a compliment and quit complaining.
- Comment on So I got hit with Microsoft's Windows 11 nag screen... 6 months ago:
The only reason I don’t use Linux all the time are video games - which are getting better, and streaming because DRM doesn’t support it and I can tell the difference between 720p and 4k. Otherwise it’s my main OS.
- Comment on The future is here 6 months ago:
That’s some of the dumbest shit I’ve ever heard. 100% not true.
- Comment on When did the show "Suits" suddenly get popular? 7 months ago:
When it made it to Netflix, it had a resurgence. It probably reached a wider audience, and it’s honestly a good binge show. I think it’s fun, albeit super unrealistic.
- Comment on Imagine that… 7 months ago:
That really sucks. I’m sorry to hear that. I have some minor issues with types of foods that I love, but they’re not nearly that serious. I can’t imagine having this reaction to gluten.
- Comment on Imagine that… 7 months ago:
I mean… How could they not be possible symptoms of a disease that affects the entire GI tract? Maybe they’re not as common, but it would make sense that anything of that nature could cause nausea and vomiting
- Comment on Send a message! Use a virtual pipe bomb! 7 months ago:
I hadn’t thought that some bad actor could use faker that way. I hope no one does. But I’m glad there’s some recommendation out there, cuz I’ve definitely used it for tests and realize it could achieve the same result
- Comment on Send a message! Use a virtual pipe bomb! 7 months ago:
I mean maybe you’re right. I honestly hadn’t thought about that cuz I was getting 200s. But that doesn’t mean they weren’t immediately dumping the content. For no reason at all, do you know of any locally hosted ruby on rails gems that can use generative AI?
- Comment on Send a message! Use a virtual pipe bomb! 7 months ago:
Someone who isn’t me has successfully submitted the entire Bee movie script over 350k times to various snitch websites related to reproductive health or gender affirming care. 👀
- Comment on Bugs me when audiobook series do this 7 months ago:
The author used to hang out on a forum I was part of before the book came out. I think he released it in a serial format and was really cool to interact with
- Comment on A parent-approved [handheld] game | Lateral with Tom Scott (8:25) 8 months ago:
I love this format, but I wish they had full video versions. I’ve at least been unable to find anything more than highlights. My attention issues cause me to lose focus when it’s audio only.

That’s where we disagree, friend.

It’s open for business 24/7 bb
- Comment on Death-bed confession rule 8 months ago:
Downvoted for shit posting in a shit post community. What has this world come to?
- Comment on to those of you who get bored at work if there's lots of downtime, why? 8 months ago:
I had a job like this for about 2 years. There’s only so much content you can consume before you really just start to lose your mind. Also losing skills is a real thing. And to be perfectly honest, when compensated fairly, some of us enjoy our careers.
- Comment on i have a proposal 8 months ago:
That’s a rather Swift reaction
- Comment on Hustle tip 8 months ago:
I’ve never regretted doing that personally
- Comment on Peak technology 9 months ago:
When I was in college, I would go to micro center and buy the cheapest printer there, getting the warranty for $2.99. Run out of ink? Return it as defective and get a new printer with the gift card, paying $2.99 for the warranty again. So I paid $2.99 for ink for all 4 years of college.
- Comment on Asking a girl out for comic book store date? 9 months ago:
Sounds like a good first date idea of she’s into comics. Meet in public, you have plenty to talk about - which comics you like, dislike, certain artists you might like the style of, etc.
- Comment on Several indie studios tease the "iii initiative", including Darkest Dungeon/Slay the Spire/Vampire Survivors devs 9 months ago:
If I had to guess, it sounds like a bunch of indie developers might be pooling resources into a collaborative studio or publisher or something.
- Comment on As if the tip actually goes to the dashers. 11 months ago:
That is a legal requirement. But myself and others got a settlement from Amazon after they stole our tips for years. I got a check for $790 that they kept from me. I dunno if DD ever got caught doing the same, but businesses do try to get away with this stuff.
- Comment on I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD** 11 months ago:
Samsung.
- Comment on I got this popup ad on my TV **while watching a DVD** 11 months ago:
Except my old TV would still try to load ads even though it wasn’t connected to the Internet. Made it run slow as shit. When the screen died conveniently right after the warranty period, I just switched to using a monitor to watch stuff.
- Comment on this place is pretty stupid 1 year ago:
They’re a stupid troll. Just ignore them
- Comment on Hormones are powerful drugs. Taken by everybody. Creating massive aggresstion, obsession and mental disturbance. What would freedom from its influences look like for a society? An individual? 1 year ago:
You… You know that hormones naturally occur in the body right? You know that without hormones, no one would grow ever? Hormones regulate eating, sleep, and more. You know this, right?
- Comment on What are some other sites like Lichess for tabletop/board games? 1 year ago:
Board game arena has a lot of games from classics to modern hobbyist games.
