- Comment on Founder of Arkane Studios: "I think Gamepass is an unsustainable model that has been increasingly damaging the industry for a decade"; impacts sales 2 days ago:
This is absolutely a case of getting in, killing the competition, then jacking the price and tanking the quality.
And because it’s a service, despite using it for years and paying all that money into it, as soon as you leave you have nothing. All those games are just gone.
- Comment on PSA for those in America 3 days ago:
They’re also stupid and disruptive.
- Comment on Happy No-more-USA Day 3 days ago:
Because defending your democracy isn’t a weekend fucking sport. Standing outside an empty building with a sign does exactly nothing.
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 3 days ago:
What else are they doing in there for there to get that much paper dust? Book binding?!
- Comment on How do you safely film a group of masked armed men while they are in the process of committing a crime, without them knowing that you are recording? [USA] 3 days ago:
They asked for “masked armed men” not police officers.
- Comment on How do you all keep the area around the toilet paper dust-free? 3 days ago:
answering with Bidet as a solution, which makes no sense (you are not going to hose down the bathroom are you?)
It makes perfect sense. If you don’t use TP, there’s no paper dust in the first place.
- Comment on The Mayor of Calgary, Canada, just received this letter 3 days ago:
increasing capacity for “all citizens”
The law, in its majestic equality, enables the rich as well as the poor to drive their luxury vehicles everywhere.
- Comment on Thumbs up to people dying. 4 days ago:
It’s a bunch of murderous ghouls celebrating the death of poor people.
- Comment on Thumbs up to people dying. 4 days ago:
And send it to everyone diagnosed with a life-threatening illness they won’t be able to pay for treatment.
- Comment on Hmmm who could it possibly be? 5 days ago:
Ew, Hershey chocolate is gross. It tastes like vomit. No wonder they’re hiring anonymously.

Nah, Trump will pardon him and give him a position in his cabinet.
- Comment on Walmart Scales Back Self-Checkout Amid Security and Customer Feedback 2 weeks ago:
I’m happy for you extroverts to go use the cashier checkout lanes if you are that desperate for small talk.
That’s amusing. I’m a total introvert. I don’t do small talk. It’s draining to me too. That’s why I’m wondering where the hell you’re shopping. I never use self checkouts and never have a problem with having to chat with anyone.
- Comment on Walmart Scales Back Self-Checkout Amid Security and Customer Feedback 2 weeks ago:
Where the hell are you shopping that you have to make small talk? I say “hi” when I walk up. Wait while they scan. They say “that’ll be $10”. I tap my card, say “thanks” and leave.
If people can’t even interact with each other on a surface level like that it’s no wonder we’re all so lonely and depressed.

I’d be surprise if the current president could pass it.

Put them back in your friend’s drawer and forget about them.
- Comment on The B2 saw its shadow which means another 20 years of war in the middle east 2 weeks ago:
The shadow thing refers to a North American tradition:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Groundhog_Day
Groundhog Day is a tradition observed regionally in the United States and Canada on February 2 of every year. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early.
- Comment on Why does America feel the need to control the world? Do what they say? Instead of taking care of their own problems at home? When did the US become police officer of the world and enforcer? 2 weeks ago:
The US is already feeding on the smaller sharks, and has been for decades. Look at their foreign policy in Central and South America, South East Asia, the Middle East.
The only difference is that they’ve been feasting on other nations and not the West. China and Russia don’t have those restraints. All three of them are horrible, but America hasn’t been horrible to us until just recently.

That’s a safety tether.

- Comment on The D.E.N.N.I.S ship 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, it would be a like a frat house party. First one to fall asleep gets their face covered in Sharpie and someone dunks their balls on their forehead.
Therefore no one will want to fall asleep first and the you won’t have to worry about sleeping spaces.
- Comment on What's going on with Borderlands 2? Steam is giving it for free, but the game has 23% positive recent reviews. 4 weeks ago:
But it’s not. So don’t make up scenarios and then claim persecution when people downvote you.
- Comment on Bugs are the tits 4 weeks ago:
I hate that they call it “insect bites” when several of those are stings, not bites.
Also spiders, ticks and scorpions aren’t insects either!

No he wasn’t. You said that no one was doing anything. He came back to show people are. The media is trying to hide it, but it’s important to spread the word.
