- Comment on I'm just like some ordinary dude upset about what the government is doing. Doesn't anyone with any sort of means or influence care? Where are those guys? 1 week ago:
Yes I have. I’ve worked to get progressives elected. I’ve walked precincts to encourage people to vote. I did that shit for decades. And shit just got worse. What I see, over and over, is fuckers bitching about 2 choices who never even bothered to vote in the primaries, you know, when you usually actually have a choice. Complaints about 2 party system, first past the post, etc. are absolutely legitimate, but it comes down to the fact that these people are elected. So yes, I am blaming the voters. A little less than 50% of the stupid fuckers still think shit-for-brains trump is doing a great job.

Also, those same fucking voters keep electing the same decrepit representatives, so why should they (the reps) be expected to rock their money boat?
- Comment on Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries 1 week ago:
I probably messed up something somewhere. And, yep, I can’t see MrKaplan at sopuli.xyz, but if I open in a different container tab where I’m not logged in, still sopuli.xyz, I see the posts. It’s not just MrKaplan, but really it happens on most pages. I’ll see <x> number of comments, but I can only see one or two. It’s been like that for a long time, I just can’t be bothered to figure it out. ¯_(ツ)_/¯.
- Comment on What job do you need this hard hat for? 1 week ago:
Paintball cosplay.
- Comment on Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries 1 week ago:
Very weird. I can’t see MrKaplan’s post unless I logout, but he isn’t in my blocklist. Maybe he’s blocking me? I don’t really know how the blocks work. Weird, but not a big deal.
- Comment on Blocked Users list : full at aprox 250 entries 1 week ago:
I’m over 200 blocked now. It would be nice to have that site maintenance idea working to clear out my list. I’ll have to remember when I hit the limit.
- Comment on I miss when you could get a flagship phone that could fit in your hand 1 week ago:
You aren’t wrong, and I’m not sure why the other person is arguing with you. Seems like that Monty Python sketch about arguing.
- Comment on How can Doge access critical government infrastructure and fire people if it isn't even a real department? 2 weeks ago:
It doesn’t seem like people are really aware that the coup was successful this time. All the shit we are seeing is just fallout from that.
- Comment on "Poetic take" on the state of the US 2 weeks ago:
righteous?
- Comment on I'll take a liberal. Just 86 the tofu. 2 weeks ago:
I just can’t engage because for some reason in righty’s mind, liberal == progressive. Like, for them also, fascism == communist. It’s just a complete failure to agree on basic, high school level definitions.
- Comment on When would it make sense for someone to get a domain name? 2 weeks ago:
I got one for my son when he was a couple years old. This was almost 30 years ago. He hasn’t done much with it, I don’t know if he ever will, but it’s pretty handy for like hosting the family’s email, throwing up shit to share with family/friends, etc… I could do without it, but it’s really cheap to maintain and I like controlling my own data.
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 2 weeks ago:
Well, they aren’t talking about the huge number of “illegals” who are here on expired visas because that would mean a lot of white people would get rounded up in this bullshit.
- Comment on Is there any way our of the US political spiral? 4 weeks ago:
I was talking with some kids the other month (Berkeley grads, so “kids”=mid 20s), and they really believed this current shit show is no big deal because they were taught about “checks and balances” in HS. It blows my mind that anyone thinks Fuckhead and the current GOP is just a normal swaying of the political pendulum.
- Comment on Does the US really have no instruments in case a newly elected president immediatelly and openly exposes he's a nazi? 4 weeks ago:
The 2A was so that the Federal gov’t wouldn’t have a standing army. That went out the window really quickly when a Federal force under the first president had to be raised to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. At the time, the 2A should have been repealed or rephrased at least. Don’t forget that one of the jobs of the US gov’t, as defined in The Constitution (which admittedly, doesn’t mean much now when we have a president who is clearly does not qualify under the 14th Amendment), is to put down domestic violence.
- Comment on only 100% dry cotton cleaning 5 weeks ago:
That’s too bad. I was going to buy one, but I don’t want to be associated with magats in any way or form. Other than living in the same country, for now.

PAUL MCCARTNEY: I’ll never forget the first time I heard the Brown Note. I’d been wearing my favorite trousers that day. At least they were my favorite trousers.
RINGO STARR: At first I assumed I was hearing one of John and Yoko’s weird sound experiments. After a few seconds I knew it was bigger than that. I mean the sound moved me — moved me bowels that is.
PAUL MCCARTNEY: A sound that makes you crap yourself? That’s the power of music, man. As soon as I heard it I realized: The Beatles gotta break up. Well, there were other reasons, but that was definitely a reason.
From, and continued here, for those interested in statements from other musicians on The Brown Note.
- Comment on Maybe, just maybe, a company that refuses to give you time off if you have a bullet inside of you is a really really shitty company 1 month ago:
If only workers could band together and use their collective bargaining powers to improve their treatment.
- Comment on Pornhub Is Now Blocked In Almost All of the U.S. South 1 month ago:
The exact phrasing varies, but in most states, the details of the law are the same: Any “commercial entity” that publishes “material harmful to minors” online can be held liable—meaning, tens of thousands of dollars in fines and/or private lawsuits—if it doesn’t “perform reasonable age verification methods to verify the age of individuals attempting to access the material.”
Sure seems like that would cover a lot of websites, including most news sites.

The word my family uses for that is “mom”.
- Comment on And there was no on line manual 2 months ago:
When I was a kid, I got pissed at my dad for something and reset all the stations, thinking it would throw him for a loop. He noticed what I had done almost immediately, fixed them all in about 5-10 seconds and looked at me like I was stupid.
- Comment on As a human, here is my human take on unions 2 months ago:
When I was a union rep there would be people that would bitch about the $70 bucks a month or whatever the dues were. I would explain that without the union their pay would be far, far less (not even bringing up the benefits of work hours, vacation days and whatnot). Like the “all taxes are theft” morons, the words fell on deaf and willfully ignorant ears.
- Comment on Brazilian's impression on the united states(i have never been there and this is based on nothing) 2 months ago:
It was fun to spell aloud when I was 7.
- Comment on "The **Most open** Operating System" 2 months ago:
We, at least in the US, are living in a “post factual” world. So this makes perfect sense. Like when my kid was small and everytime he thought he “lost” at something he would declare it Opposite Day. Fuck it, why not? M$ being the most open OS makes no sense, so it makes total sense. War is Peace^tm^
- Comment on Damn it YouTube! 2 months ago:
They are also on here instead of reddit, so they are really in much more rarefied air.
- Comment on what can I use to cushion my knee when exercising with it on the floor so it doesn't hurt? 2 months ago:
Just search for “kneeling pad” or “gardening knee pad” and you’ll find a bunch of pretty durable options for around $10. Or, hell, just get a pair of skateboarding knee pads. You might not be the pinnacle of fashion, but your knees will be well protected.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 3 months ago:
Yeah, that’s fair. US mindset, I’m just still processing our shitshow.
- Comment on Is it really possible to tax the rich? 3 months ago:
Theoretically, sure. Pragmatically, we just elected a fascist insurrectionist, and it’s not going to happen in the near future.
- Comment on Filmmaker Oliver Stone on studios releasing older films on 4K Ultra HD 3 months ago:
Mosquito Coast is a classic for sure. I hardly ever see anyone mention Regarding Henry, and I don’t think I’ve met anyone in person who recognized the movie when I’ve mentioned it. That’s a solid recommendation!
- Comment on Filmmaker Oliver Stone on studios releasing older films on 4K Ultra HD 3 months ago:
I remember being blown away when I saw that movie when it was first released. Cruise actually showed some acting ability instead of just playing “Tom Cruise” as he has in most of his films.
- Comment on When was the last time a Republican Oresident left office with a good economy? 3 months ago:
Clinton left a booming economy and projections to reduce, if not eliminate, the national debt in 10 years. Then came another Bush. Bush left a shitty economy for Obama, through bullshit tax breaks for the rich during a time of bullshit military spending among other dumb actions. Obama fixed things. trump inherited a booming economy from Obama, and slowly (maybe quickly) ruined it through gross incompetence. Biden inherited a shit economy and inflation from that moron, trump. After dealing with fallout from stupid trump policies (that’s being generous), Biden managed to turn things around and the economy was once again doing pretty good. Now that dipshit trump will give his idiot voters and the rest of us another shitty economy that the next Dem will have to try to fix. The wheels on the bus go round and round.
