I don’t understand how the two are interchangeable. It’s like saying you substitute mint when something calls for a tomato.
- Comment on Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products 2 weeks ago:
If I’m using it in browser, sure. But as a standalone application, no comparison IMO.
- Comment on Microsoft has a problem: nobody wants to buy or use its shoddy AI products — as Google's AI growth begins to outpace Copilot products 2 weeks ago:
Microsoft has nothing worth using.
Mostly agree. However, Excel remains the exception. I refuse to buy/subscribe to whatever subscription they are currently peddling, but I do consider my stand alone Excel license to be worth it. And if the next version of Excel is still offered as a stand alone perpetual license and does not force AI, I’ll buy that too.
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 3 weeks ago:
With Plex, everyone has their own accounts they are responsible for. They create the account and set the password. You give those accounts access.
I couldn’t stand the onslaught of “what’s my passwords.”
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week 3 weeks ago:
Making accounts / passwords for other people seems like a bad enough idea that I’d rather pay for PlexPass.

Universal lot.
- Comment on Hilary can't catch a break 5 weeks ago:
That Trump sucking Clinton’s dick (both the homosexuality and the fact that it’s a Clinton) is more damaging to his base than raping children is really disturbing.

I have some hope we’ll see it in young progressive “traditional country” artists.

I don’t think I’d count that as explicitly a physical bodily function.

Tear ducts, sure. But eyeballs?

What other functions do the eyes do than seeing?

Thank you for that context.
I stand by my points that his comments were vile and inexcusable, and that he’s spend the better part of twenty years also feeling that they were vile and inexcusable.
- Comment on No words 3 months ago:
And I’m not trying to excuse the words or his behavior on stage. Only trying to acknowledge his behavior since the day after the incident and for the last 20 years as steadfastly apologetic. His words were wrong, and importantly he thinks so too.
- Comment on No words 3 months ago:
It looks to me like what they’re referring to is Michael Richards tirade being uncomparable to Jerry’s comments that were supporting the genocide. That’s how I read it, anyway.
That’s what I’m saying too. Seinfeld’s comments were made in a more calm matter, but were way way way worse than Richards’.
But I mean he (Richards) was talking about lynching the guy at the Laugh Factory, so even as far as racism goes, that’s pretty fucking up there.
I don’t recall the lynching comments, only the several utterances of the n word, but I could be wrong. In either case it was vile and cannot be excused. What’s more telling to me is his behavior since; he was immediately apologetic and he has remained so for 20 years
- Comment on No words 3 months ago:
Is it [Seinfeld’s comments] even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.
- Comment on No words 3 months ago:
So you excuse Seinfeld here, but still hold Richards 100% accountable?
- Comment on No words 3 months ago:
I’ve posted this elsewhere, I don’t think Richards is a piece of shit like Seinfeld.
The Michael Richards incident was a literal one time event, albeit a terrible one. There were zero instances before and zero instances after that suggest Richards is racist. Everything since then Michaels has done suggests he’s exceedingly remorseful over it.
I am not excusing it in the least, but I don’t think it’s even close to fair to compare him to someone currently supporting the genocide in Palestine.
- Comment on Apple Envy 3 months ago:
What I’ll say in Apples defense is they largely are what they say they are. You may not like what Apple provides, which is fair, but at least you know what you’re getting.

Time for Wikipedia to move to a safe locale. It’s why I set up a recurring donation months ago.

I can’t believe two Kennedys were assassinated, and this guy isn’t one of them.
- Comment on what are the grievances with the "male loneliness epidemic"? 3 months ago:
Cis men have been, and mostly continue to be, the most privileged group in western society. So it’s easy to dismiss anything negative that affects them.

Newell is a billionaire like all the rest at 3.5B, but Sweeney is our savior fighting the good fight at 4.5B. Okay /s.
