Cables going in 3 directions? Who can live at that speed?
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
Hard work is not an embarrassing or negative thing. Factory workers should not be shamed. We’re all trying to get by.
- Comment on I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend 1 week ago:
I just watched that the other day. I can recite Circles and Dress to Kill practically verbatim.
- Comment on I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend 1 week ago:
Perhaps. Whatever the case, the alliteration rolls off the tongue more easily.
- Comment on I will step on you and spill your food, my small friend 1 week ago:
Phrasing… I think you were trying to say “my pet peeve,” yes?
- Comment on Are we all suffering from "future shock" in 2025? 1 week ago:
I didn’t see you at the – convention in Munich last year…

Fascism Shock, too.

- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 2 weeks ago:
I know what they meant. I was illustrating that the bar can be set much lower.
Who dictates what’s stupid? Where does the sanity end and crazy name start? We can’t be the arbiters of good taste.
- Comment on Should naming your children stupid names be illegal? 2 weeks ago:
Let me give you an example of why you can’t do this:
I think that “Connor” and “Brody” and “Mikaela” and “Chase” are stupid names.
- Comment on Driving Upside Down in McMurtry Spéirling Electric Hypercar 3 weeks ago:
Seeing him lose control on the first official try was crazy. That car defies what I expect from a vehicle. I’m a decent track driver and know my car and its limits well. Nothing I’ve ever seen drives like this car.
- Comment on Driving Upside Down in McMurtry Spéirling Electric Hypercar 3 weeks ago:
Exactly.
- Comment on Driving Upside Down in McMurtry Spéirling Electric Hypercar 3 weeks ago:
First the car sucked, then you did.

It is vacuum down force. These designs were introduced in the 70s.
- Comment on Cox charges you $25 if your credit card is declined 3 weeks ago:
I use BECU as well. I am in Seattle.
- Comment on Cox charges you $25 if your credit card is declined 3 weeks ago:
Glad to hear it. This is one of the best “small things” you can help people with, in my opinion. BofA is so predatory. I switched to a credit union here in Seattle from them years ago. It was literally the first time I actually earned money in savings rather than it be melted away by fees.
- Comment on Cox charges you $25 if your credit card is declined 3 weeks ago:
I hope you are with a local or regional credit union now.
- Comment on Trump excludes smartphones, computers, chips from tariffs 3 weeks ago:
What do you mean? We protest on our days off to let the establishment know we’re mad as heck and we’re not going to take this any more, as long as it inconveniences us.
We need to fucking organize.

Comprehension of nuance is a dying skill.

Unhook for YouTube
- Comment on Should I withdraw/stop putting into my 401k? 5 weeks ago:
ETF or 401k personal fund. Don’t let it sit.
- Comment on World's longest quantum communications link stretches over 8,000 miles 5 weeks ago:
Looking forward to when I can forward memes over Signal with this tech.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
People are down voting you, but I’m hyper left and also believe this. A big one for me is overly sensitive consideration for things that aren’t truly problematic, such as the use of “LatinX.”
A massive majority of us Latinos do not give a shit about this or think its idiotic. A white person definitely decided that the linguistic gendering inherent to Spanish was sexist.
- Comment on Now that's an interesting question 1 month ago:
Woof. Ibsaid something similar before seeing your comment.

If she had responded with “A Whale’s Vagina,” I would have died.
- Comment on Sony, which is making a Helldivers 2 movie, is also making a new Starship Troopers movie, but it's not based on the Starship Troopers movie we already have 1 month ago:
Paul Verhoeven couldn’t finish a short book so he picked two chapters that capture nothing of the book’s intent.
- Comment on Sony, which is making a Helldivers 2 movie, is also making a new Starship Troopers movie, but it's not based on the Starship Troopers movie we already have 1 month ago:
There’s debate on whether Heinlein meant it as satire or actual advice.
