I skip ads by just hitting f5 until they stop.
- Comment on With the ICE raids coming up at a very faster rate, do we need more self-defense (or community defense organizing) classes? 2 weeks ago:
I think people here watch too many movies. Reality is a lot different.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 weeks ago:
Yup, it would take mass unemployment and the impoverishment of the average person to trigger anything like happened in 1920s Germany.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 weeks ago:
lol what? The US is full of guns and they just seem to get used for road rage, robberies and the occasional mass murder.
- Comment on What's it going to take to truly stop the US? 3 weeks ago:
Internal collapse and/or a foreign coalition. If the US goes after Greenland I’d hope the rest of NATO stuck to their treaty obligations and fought back.
- Comment on I just learned 37% of Americans fear vaccinating their dog will cause the dog to develop autism. 😐 1 month ago:
The treatment for rabies is a vaccine so I hope these people stick to their beliefs and if they get infected they refuse the vaccine. The fatality rate for rabies is 100%.

Regardless of how bizarre this is the implied message is “I’d rather see my kid die of a virus than have any autism.”

What an obscure reach to make.

Funny how the “voting irregularities” magically disappeared when he won.

“Elon invented the airplane.”
- Comment on How do you beat post-work floppiness? 2 months ago:
I have some after work martial arts classes and on the other days I practice for an hour or so on my own. I also think up what I want to cook and keep it interesting. Most of our crappy eating and snacking is due to boredom.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 2 months ago:
Not depending on the US for defending them. (NATO)
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 2 months ago:
Yup. Europe needs to become self sufficient again and move on from WW2 and the Cold War.
- Comment on Why isn't the rest of the world doing anything about the USA? 2 months ago:
Other countries are learning how to separate themselves economically from the US more.

Xenophobia is out of control.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 months ago:
Pub culture is definitely a thing in the UK though and I wish we had some of these neighborhood meeting places in the US too.
Fraternal/Sororal organizations used to be a big thing up to the 60s with the Elks clubs, Odd Fellows, Shriners, etc. We’ve lost a lot of that community glue.
- Comment on Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons? 2 months ago:
I had a GF who worked in a university lab where they would go to a bar after hours and she would bring me along. It was an old school Irish bar (even had pics of Sinn Féin members on the walls). I kept going after we broke up and ended up dating one of the woman who bartended. She was always passing me free drinks. I was always a light drinker though, I just nursed them. This was mostly in my 20s. I did visit another Irish pub after night class in a different part of the city and the guy working there remembered what my usual meal order was. lol
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t say the “entire US economy” is AI based.
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 2 months ago:
Gov jobs still have them
- Comment on Is there any way the average American can insulate themselves from the AI bubble bursting? 2 months ago:
Buy low when everything crashes and wait for it to recover in 3-5 yrs.

It seems hostility is the norm across most social media.

Then let’s hope that AI will pay to play it.

This sounds more like a “fuck UK age restriction laws” not reddit
- Comment on My friend got this when she tried to view a Reddit post about a dental issue that got marked as NSFW 4 months ago:
This is the case on reddit too. Politics creeps into everything.

“Anything you have access to that I don’t” = “privilege” The term has been badly abused.

Yah, he is saying there isn’t much variety in subject matter. Sadly I still have to go to reddit to find a lot of topics.
