- Comment on Are there seach engines that dont depend Google and Bing, if not what are the barriers to entry of new search engines? 1 day ago:
I think part of why the internet sucks now is we’ve grown accustomed to too much for free.
The $10 I spend on Kagi is the best subscription I have, and one of the only ones I still keep.

Probably a geolocation device as well. Be careful out there.
- Comment on Being Difficult 1 week ago:
I was just referring to an old internet joke that was in the same vein as this post.

My grandfather didn’t die in Korea so that people could fight online like this.
- Comment on I'm gonna pay you $100 to fuck off 1 week ago:
We avoid YT ads just fine.
- Comment on I'm gonna pay you $100 to fuck off 1 week ago:
Whatever works for you. Not going to fly in my house. Plus, again, YouTube isn’t that important.
- Comment on I'm gonna pay you $100 to fuck off 1 week ago:
Acceptance of ads, yes.
- Comment on I'm gonna pay you $100 to fuck off 1 week ago:
Keyboard and mouse control for a living room or bedroom TV isn’t high on the wife approval scale.

I’d argue that the id.Buzz actually existing makes more alike the old busses from the 50s and 60s.
- Comment on A modest proposal 1 month ago:
No doubt. In response to such a joke, boomers would take credit for a time when the military was successful. My reply is an attempt to preemptively take the wind out of their sails.
- Comment on A modest proposal 1 month ago:
I don’t think Vietnam is views as easy nor was it successful.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Funny, works for my wife too. And I consider her speaking to me to be the ‘pro.’

Nintendo would like a word.
- Comment on Sydney Sweeney says her success can be 'intimidating' to men as she lays out relationship non-negotiables 2 months ago:
Of all the celebs I care nothing about, I don’t care the most about Sweeney.
- Comment on Who farted? 2 months ago:
Just as funny as when Scrubs did it.
- Comment on How much RAM is in your average EV car, and is it DDR5? 2 months ago:
The verge Vergecast podcast did a piece on RAM, and it’s well worth a listen. They talk about all sorts of RAM related things, the RAM in a Cybertruck being one of them. Sorry, I don’t remember the details but I remember it being lower than I thought; 8GB, maybe 16gb. Give it a listen.

Bears like gay oral sex is definitely something AI generated.
- Comment on friend of mine has this struggle 3 months ago:
I’m blessed with a unique and related middle name (see username), which allows me to really identify with the holiday. I’m always around family on my birthday, and I never have to work.
- Comment on friend of mine has this struggle 3 months ago:
I have this problem. Actually, I love it, but can understand those who don’t.
This is my favorite meme on the topic.
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 3 months ago:
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 4 months 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 4 months 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 4 months 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 4 months ago:
Making accounts / passwords for other people seems like a bad enough idea that I’d rather pay for PlexPass.
- Comment on If you look over Wally's shoulder you will see the Munster house on Paramount back lot 4 months ago:
Universal lot.
- Comment on Hilary can't catch a break 5 months 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.

That’s a banger, I like it. Had not heard of him, but I’ll seek more out. Thanks.

How young do you think boomers are?
- Comment on Where is modern Punk? 5 months ago:
I have some hope we’ll see it in young progressive “traditional country” artists.

CCR has to be the band most unexpectedly from where they are from.
