- Comment on Trump wants the NFL to change its name so that soccer is the only sport called football: ‘We have to come up with another name for the NFL stuff’ 1 week ago:
Yeah, that was pretty soft. I guess it was not suitable for many workplaces, but not universally so.

True, america draws that kind of person. So they come here from all over. And the system here is designed to help them.

Totally agree. He doesn’t actualy fix things, just talks about it. Then waffles on the idea after the check clears.

Hey hey. 1 - it’s not all americans. 2 - it is not a uniquely American thing. You don’t see many “poor” poloticians for a reason.

I’m trying to think what NSFW football would be like. They have some very NSFW wrestling videos out there.

This is one of the things people don’t get about trump supporters. Establishment politicians would never suggest such a thing. They stick to the established political crap. The you get a guy like trump who just spouts whatever he hears or thinks. Stuff like how it doesn’t make sense that football is two drastically different sports. That is very appealing to a lot of people. He is saying the quiet parts out loud. He doesn’t actually “do” anything productive about it. But it wins over plenty of voters. Also, he lies so poorly you easily know.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 weeks ago:
People are free to pressure retailers on what to sell and what not too. Saying they can’t would be far worse. And the retailer is doing the job of making money… by following the 2ishes of the populace. This is the free market capitalist society we live in. Completly sucks, but it is consistent.
- Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 weeks ago:
Someone who claimed to have played the game said the privates were sensored.
The game concept feels very political, not sexual from what I am hearing.
My guess is the AI just flagged it, and noone actually reviewed it. Now that it is news, they don’t want any bad press, so they are standing by the ban, when otherwise they might have reversed it. - Comment on the game "Horses" now barred on Steam, Epic and Humble Bundle 2 weeks ago:
Um, he didn’t say he was deciding for others, he said he could understand how others would be hesitant… sounded like he was supporting your very point that people have a right to have their own opinion.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
So, you have fully backed my response. OP didn’t ask if it was possible with some caveats. I understand a (at a high level) the technical options that can get close to what OP asked for, but it fundamentally just isn’t possible without caveats.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
You could, but that wouldn’t address OPs question. The IRS is known for giving info to other parts of the government to aid in prosecution. And the gov has shown they are terrible at cyber security, so you might as well just post your browser history on the web.
- Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
Read back what you wrote. Your first line was about a trusted credential provider. Thats a middle man. Then you talk about creating a proof. Guess what, that phone and browser are known to spy on you excessively. That’s another middle man. And odds are that same phone or browser it what you will use to access something that needs the verification. So the same phone or browser has all parts of the information.
And of course it’s pointless because anyone could steal an ID and get themselves a key. Or steal your phone… so it wouldn’t even prove anything. - Comment on Is it completely impossible to do age verification without compromising privacy? 3 weeks ago:
Nope, you always need a middle man to do the verification. That middle man has too much information.
Also, if you could solve for the middle man, there is no way to know the user belongs to the ID. It can easily be stolen.
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, I meant the image has a light at the end. The real situation doesn’t
- Comment on What the democrats just did. 5 weeks ago:
Nah, there’s a light at the end if that “cave”, but not the real one.
- Comment on What are your favorite games from a worldbuilding standpoint? 1 month ago:
Having played a lot of raft with my kids, I can say I never would have thought of it for this. But looking back, yeah, there is a good deal of world building going on.
- Comment on When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day" 1 month ago:
I feel like it changes the meaning of “day”. In some contexts, day is the daylight hours… but in this context it is from when you woke up to when you went to sleep. So it feels a bit more timezone agnostic. But only a tiny bit. This would be more ture if you were comparing have a good afternoon to have a good day.
But the real answer. Someone just didn’t like saying the same thing over and over, so threw in some variation. Someone else who wanted to suck up to them started using it. Others just happened to follow.
- Comment on Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth? 1 month ago:
You started out decent, then went off the deepend. You are connecting plants to refined sugars in the end. An apple (from a plant) has no refined sugar. No plants do. And the milk thing sounds like a conspiracy theory. They ban raw milk because if it isn’t handled correctly, it can make you sick. While this is a bit of an over reach, in most places it started long before thier was an industry to protect.
- Comment on How are these ICE agents allowed to fire on protestors like this 2 months ago:
I wish their were, but I’m not so sure. They started arresting people who simply wrote articles they didn’t like. They have declared an organization that doesn’t actually exist terrorists. So now all the have to do is is say, you’re antifa and you are under arrest. Any peacful solution will just result in the people involved getting arrested. Or at some point they will just declare a peaceful protest a terrorist attack because one person threw a rock that they thought was a gernade… and they then just open fire. They are clamping down on the media so that only thier voice is heard. And they are meddling with elections so they can’t lose. But here is a simpler answer. If thier were peaceful ways, then the people of more countries would have used those in thier countries. But if you look, the vast majority are under the control of corrupt governments. The US is the result of a violent revolution. It just didn’t last. Corrupt rule is the steady state that all large organizations trend toward.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 2 months ago:
Noone would ever confuse me for someone who dresses for others. Lol
- Comment on it's true! 2 months ago:
I see that as a good thing. It’s like a check against uncontrolled spread. They would lose in natural competition. But a lawn of today already would. Yet the deeper roots would be good for the soil, flood control, drought management. Probably just not enough profit in the idea though.
- Comment on it's true! 2 months ago:
Yes, the point I was replying to was basically referring to unintended runaway modifications that could be disastrous like horror movie level. Chickens that can’t walk is not runaway because… well they can’t run, lol, so they also can’t breed. If humans died tomorrow, thoses chickens wouldn’t be far off.
That said, I support lab grown meat research. So we can stop with the chickens that can’t walk. But that won’t save the dogs that can barely breath due to selective breeding. - Comment on it's true! 2 months ago:
It is really interesting stuff. But it doesn’t explain why the roots can’t be bigger. You can take a small power source and charge a big battery or a small battery. It just takes longer for the big battery.
- Comment on it's true! 2 months ago:
And yet, not disastrous.
- Comment on it's true! 2 months ago:
Thats a great talking point, but it is BS. Humans have been genetically modifying organsims through selective breeding for millenia. Any animal or plant you eat is nothing like it natural origin.

That, and I can’t help that my brain is wired to enjoy looking at a well kept lawn. It just is. Though I also like forest. Wish I could have both.
- Comment on it's true! 2 months ago:
But why? Roots act as energy storage, so once full, grow more. Not full stop. That should lead to pretty decent roots.
- Comment on it's true! 2 months ago:
Hm, this doesn’t fit. You are saying the roots store energy in case the foliage is lost, then saying the roots can’t exist without the foliage. Which is it? I get that they are energy storage. So the foliage in all plants must generate an excess of energy to fill the storage. That should mean that once the storage is full, extra energy can be spent to extend the roots, then fill with energy, rinse repeat.

Why is it someone hasn’t modified the dna of grass to give us one that has both deep roots and works like lawn grass on top.
- Comment on what's a good answer to placate the c-suite if you're accused of lacking motivation and being unfriendly? 2 months ago:
In this case though he said he was in a union. So committing to something sets precedent that can be used against the union. If there was no union involved, then I agree with you. I just suck at lieing.
