- Comment on What is the funniest insult / joke you've come up with on the spot? 8 hours ago:
My favorite all-time insult was laid upon me by my soon-to-be ex:
“Well look at you! You ain’t nothin’! You’re scrawny, you’re an alcoholic and if you didn’t have such a big dick you wouldn’t be worth nothin’!”
Never had an insult shut me the fuck up, instantly. I mean, that really hit home.

Thought so, thanks. Came here to see if I was reading too much into it.
- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 14 hours ago:
Right here. Maybe not full blown blue steel, but I get chubby if a woman’s smell hits me right.
- Comment on Found a 2009 YouTube video about a green, healthy looking fir tree growing inside a man's lung. CNN video shows a surgeon and the patient being interviewed.. was it a hoax? 1 day ago:
I loathe that woman’s goddamned voice. I think she’s trying to channel Barbara Walters. Second I hear it, off she goes because I know bullshit is coming into my ear canal.
- Comment on If people's voices become copyright protected in the future as a response to AI, will any non-commercial uses of voices be affected as well? 1 day ago:
satire or mockery
What about fair use?
- Comment on Nature is wise 1 day ago:
That’s what a rip current looks like. So called because it will rip your soul from your flesh if you fight it.
Guess I should add for those not in the know; If you suddenly get yanked out to sea, roll with it until it stops pulling, swim sideways till you’re past the tip (heh), then swim back to shore.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 1 day ago:
No lie. If anything, this site reminds me that ChatGPT might handle a task for me.

Yep, too many icons was a thing in Win95 in 98. Can’t remember if XP cared.

Stated a fact. Sounds like you the one with the hurt feels. OTOH, seems you’re dumb enough to believe Indonesia has 600 sets of distinct DNA. Did you even reply to the right comment?!

If there’s possible sex in the future, I’d hit the truck stop for a shower.
- Comment on Seriously, you're probably dehydrated 2 days ago:
This kinda thing flabbergasts me. Who the hell needs to be reminded to drink?!
- Comment on How would I repurpose a work laptop? 4 days ago:
If OP got his last paycheck, done deal. Yes, he surely signed for it, but no laptop is worth the legal cost of a lawsuit.
SOURCE: Issued hundreds of laptops, of all varieties and prices, for multiple companies.
- Comment on Why there are a lot of people migrating from Windows to Linux these days? 4 days ago:
This is not happening in the wider world, not on any appreciable scale. Here comes lemmy:
“NOAW! People ARE switching in DROVES!”
LOL, the vast majority of people can’t spell Linux.
- Comment on Having booze in your TV is a must 4 days ago:
Used the total power of a modern household, but you could FIX it! Dad and I took a few trips to the grocery store to test and buy new tubes. If dad couldn’t hack it, call the repair guy. Imagine it being cheaper to have a man come to your house a few times than to buy a new TV.

Looks like white Wombat poop.
- Comment on Dolph is prime human 4 days ago:
He also dated Grace Jones. Prime human indeed.
- Comment on Look out its the D*tch 4 days ago:
5’9" is average for an American male, a mere 3" shy of 6’. Plus, this graph is not only false, the scale is laughable.
- Comment on Look out its the D*tch 4 days ago:
Ethnicity: the quality or fact of belonging to a population group or subgroup made up of people who share a common cultural background or descent.
That doesn’t mean they have 600 genetic lineages.
- Comment on Anon has a warning for incels 4 days ago:
There are some women who want exactly that kind of man. OTOH, even around the reddest part of Florida, most women put something on their dating profile to reject those men. Dated more than ever during the pandemic, yeah, weird, I know, and here’s what I saw and heard.
- Profiles outright saying MAGA can fuck off.
- Profiles saying either they’re “not political” or “no politics”. That’s a dog whistle for no MAGA (more on that).
- Plainly stated liberal views, again, no MAGA.
- Laughingly told one woman before we went out that I was pretty redneck. “Uh, just how redneck?” “I fucking loathe Trump if that’s what you mean.” "OH! Whew. OK."
- More than one date told me guys either went OFF about Trump or went off on THEM about Trump, on the first date.
- Either they gently probed me on politics or flat out refused to speak of it, at least until they knew for sure I wasn’t MAGA. See note about about first dates.
Despite being a middle-aged white guy, my looks and profile were clearly, to me anyway, liberal. Did quite well! LOL, friends and neighbors were making fun of me regarding all the women in and out the house. (That wasn’t on purpose, most just didn’t work out.) As I said, there were a handful of profiles saying “conservatives only, no liberals”. Given the politics of the region, those were shockingly rare.
I can only imagine that going red ain’t working out so well for incels. And the downward spiral continues.

Society hasn’t become that bad. It’s becoming that bad again, and almost none of us are used to it.
- Comment on We really don't want to talk about our problems 5 days ago:
Been dumped by three women, the day after they saw me cry. Good news! My wife is fine with it, as rare as crying is, and comforts me. But y’all women don’t have a good track record in my book.
- Comment on Who discovered/"invented" fire? 6 days ago:
That last question is the most interesting to me. I guess it doesn’t take much intuition to realize that rubbing things together makes them hot. Rub your arm really fast.
Still, watching experienced woodsmen starting a fire from scratch is an education. Even the best struggle.

Pulled that shit on my daughter with an RC shark fin at our camp. LOL, she was tripping.

I don’t get this at all. Are they hoping monkey pox kill most of the humans?

Are you seriously asking for a list of every economic downturn in history?
When prices drop, unemployment goes up, people can’t buy shit, rinse and repeat.

- Comment on [US Politics] How much can Mamdani even do as Mayor? Couldn't the NYC City Coucil just block every progressive thing he tries to do? 6 days ago:
Hadn’t thought of that, but just checked and NYC is 42% of the state’s population. I would think state politicians crossing a popular mayor a highly risky proposition.
