- Comment on Why can computers, like even very old laptops can seemingly get OS updates forever, while mobile devices hardly get a few years of updates before getting stuck out of date? 4 days ago:
Directly from my ass, it’s my assumption that the primary maintainers just don’t have an incentivize the cost of supporting older devices and the disparate hardware configurations.
Like, planned obscellesance or not, smartphone churn is going to happen anyways. People lose them, smash them, fall into a pool with them, decide they NEED the newer camera soldered into them, etc…
It’s not like there are old phones in a closet somewhere propping up business critical infrastructure like with computers.
The cost vs utility of maintaining forward features and security patches for a massive catalog of hardware configurations just isn’t there.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 4 days ago:
They’re either trying to get your goat, or it’s genuine. Either way, it’s not making the world any better by bestowing upon yourself the title of judge and enforcer. You’re either taking bait or you’re a fucking cop. “Ok” is all you gotta say.
- Comment on What's the best way to respond to someone who says "transracial is just as valid as transgender"? 4 days ago:
I’m uncomfortable with the idea that the only reason that being trans is valid is because of biological factors.
If we could construct a human that came into existence without being Female at some gestational point, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans? If someone has a thyroid problem such that they their body CAN’T handle a sex hormone, you gonna tell them they can’t be trans?
I feel like we’re looking for a 9-D chess play when a 1-D play is sufficient: you say you’re trans, you’re trans.

- Comment on "And my dick fucks your wife more than you do. What's your point?" 1 week ago:
This is right, where every other comment in this thread is wrong.
Don’t take the bait.
Even just a flat OK is better than taking the bait. Honestly, silence is better.
Do you care? Then you are poor and mad.

In this and other similar contexts, when “it” isn’t really referring to anything specific, you can kind of consider it to be “The General State of Existence”.
It’s raining.
It’s cold.
It is what it is.
Make the best of it.
It’s Thursday.
It’s Friday.
Friday.
Gotta get down on Friday.
- Comment on WTF is a rural town in the USA? 3 weeks ago:
Another consideration might be how far your “town” is from a more major center.
A town with a population of 1000 might not feel that rural if it’s 10 miles down the road from a city of a million.
If the next closest center > 5,000pop is 250 miles away… Perhaps a different story.
I’ve hear it said that in Europe 100km is considered a long distance and in North America 100 years is considered a long time.

You would be shocked by the homogeneousness of even employers who are hiring STEM. Tribalism is real. They just chalk up the je ne sais qois to “fit”… But you take a step back and suddenly…

People play real fast and loose with these terms.
My advice is to do what you’re doing here, which is learn… But to remember to meet people where they’re at.
By these definitions, with sex relating to biological things, you might be tempted to tell someone they can’t just “decide” their sex, by this definition. Don’t do it.
Not saying you would, but resist the urge to get into a semantic argument. Just ask the specific people what they mean by these words when they say them, and roll with it. Prioritize understanding over being understood.
This advice goes for anything, but this is a particularly spicy meatball.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 1 month ago:
You can be upset about 2 things: where things are, and where things are going.
It’s become very fashionable to ignore a trajectory. “Build 3 more prisons in El Salvador”.
The issue isn’t that at this moment I can opt-out. The issue is that the infrastructure inevitably demands usage.
If you’re not upset you’re a collaborator.
- Comment on Anon uses Windows 1 month ago:
Forget the “bloat”. Windows has an advertisements engine. I’m not talking about some stupid OEM bullshit bundled thing… I’m saying the operating system itself.
My OS (that I fucking paid for, no less) shouldn’t be piping me advertisements and it sure as shit shouldn’t be harvesting screenshots to train an AI model.

- Comment on Aimee Lou Wood Says Her 'SNL' Portrayal Was 'Mean and Unfunny' 2 months ago:
In a non paywalled article sounds like she was disappointed that the punchline for her character was just her teeth.
She didn’t say that specifically (I think she said it was just lazy) but having watched the sketch, that’s what I’m reading behind the lines.
I’d be pissed too. The sketch was otherwise really great at drawing parallels. Her character got a family guy level of joke.

Also wasn’t he originally written as being independently wealthy? I think that aspect was also lost in the character transition.

They didn’t even understand the source material.
Like, when he pulls the holy hand grenade… There are VERY SPECIFIC instructions on how to use that thing. Doesn’t follow them.
Just superficial references with no comprehension of the source
