- Comment on Is Lemmy an effective alternative to Reddit? 5 weeks ago:
It’s great. Not enough people, though.
- Comment on Anon quits their job 2 months ago:
When I was in grad school I knew a guy who just simply didn’t teach for half the semester. No contact with students, no classes held, just didn’t show. He gave everyone a passing grade on the midterm and came back halfway through. No explanation. He was not fired. Of course, like the rest of us, he was grossly underpaid and didn’t have health insurance. I guess they get what they get if they’re gonna treat us like cogs, right?
- Comment on United Flight Attendants Vote 99.99% to Authorize Strike 2 months ago:
As someone who has been burned by their dumbass “hide the baggage fee and charge $25 less than your competitors” strategy, fuck United. I filter them out whenever I’m looking for flights.
- Comment on Maths vs Philosophy 3 months ago:
I have a PhD in moral philosophy and I have no idea what’s going on here.
- Comment on When was the last time you made Jello? 4 months ago:
Been a long time. Once I found out it was all bones and hooves and connective tissue, that kinda took the fun out of it.
- Comment on Anon is baffled by Mel Gibson's continued career 4 months ago:
It’s a pretty decent film, if a little heavy on the religious message.
- Comment on The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate? 4 months ago:
Absolutely nothing about this case is a mere reiteration of anything before it.
- Comment on The justices of the supreme court ruled that Trump was immune and effectively above the law while being president. What is now stopping Biden from bringing a gun to the next debate? 4 months ago:
All Biden has to do is claim that it’s an official act, because Trump is a terrorist, a threat to the Constitution, or some other questionable legal pretext. The problem is that there’s no remedy against such a claim. It could be litigated and go to SCOTUS again, who would have to decide whether it’s an official act or not. But this ruling gives no definite rule on what does or does not count as an official act.

Whoa TIL I’m a slut
- Comment on checkmate, big geology!! 6 months ago:
Bobby, if these kids could understand volcanic geology, they’d be very upset right now.
- Comment on How many floors are under an apartment on the second floor? (No basement) 6 months ago:
But I’m the US way, you’re only one floor from the ground on the first floor. 0 isn’t a floor, it’s literally the ground we put the first floor on.

Wish this was me. I’ve been making the same dumb decisions since I was 20 and now I’m in my late 30s
- Comment on Am I the only one who's "shorts" feed is all basically softcore porn? 7 months ago:
Mine is entirely alt right “comedians” and helldivers 2. I’m pretty sure the algorithm thinks I wholeheartedly endorse the SuperEarth ideology.
- Comment on I'm working on it, ok? 7 months ago:
Man, where do you live where unemployment is nearly a year at 80% of your salary? When I was unemployed here in Washington, it was six months and more like 50% of my salary. And from what I understand, Washington is a lot more generous than most states.
- Comment on I'm working on it, ok? 7 months ago:
Lots of good reasons why someone might end up in debt. I got divorced and laid off. Dog needed $2k surgery to not have a terrible quality of life. Got a terrible staph infection on my chest after losing health insurance. This all happened in a four month period. I moved to a cheaper apartment, cut off any subscription aside from internet, which I need for two of my four jobs, got a cheaper phone plan, and mostly ate rice and beans every day. Still, it’s taken a year just to get back to zero.
- Comment on Alien: Romulus | Teaser Trailer | In Cinemas Aug 16 8 months ago:
Yeah the plot turns in Prometheus are about as dumb as running in the same direction something is falling instead of just stepping to the left or right.
- Comment on Philosophy 8 months ago:
According to philsurvey, 80% of academic philosophers in the anglophone world are. About ten percent are agnostic and ten percent are theists.
- Comment on Philosophy 8 months ago:
As somebody that spent three years trying to get a job as a tenure track philosophy professor, this is very accurate.

If only!

No. I don’t do any of this stuff and it has never occurred to me to do it.
- Comment on Anon learns to love the bath bomb 10 months ago:
It was a slur the entire time millennials were growing up. It hasn’t not been a slur since…the 70s?
- Comment on Era of complex and ambitious TV is over, says Sopranos creator 10 months ago:
The Wheel of Time
One of these things is not like the others.
- Comment on Why do some websites have a "Continue Reading" button? 10 months ago:
Yeah this shit annoys the hell out of me with certain websites where I’m trying to ctrl-f information. It hasn’t loaded the whole page until I scroll down, so my search ends up being worthless.
- Comment on Reviews for "Leave The World Behind" being brigaded with copy/paste negative reviews - presumably because it was produced by the Obamas. 10 months ago:
Okay but it is definitely a garbage movie. The plot is terrible. Come on, guys.
- Comment on Hayao Miyazaki tops North American box office for first time with ‘The Boy and the Heron 11 months ago:
This movie made me wonder if Japanese people do not care when birds shit on them. So much bird shit in this movie, and nobody batted an eye.
- Comment on US Question. Will the people that have to wait until 70 to get Social Security ever get what they paid in to it back out before they die since men's life expectancy is only 77 now? 1 year ago:
I think they’re assuming retirement age will be raised by the time they retire.

No average year of IRA return is guaranteed to beat the 6.8% interest or more that a lot of us are paying on student loans debt.

They don’t make cheddar and jack cheese in France? I know it’s not traditional there but surely somebody makes it, right? I’ve never been so I don’t know.
- Comment on The Weekly 'What are you playing?' Discussion 1 year ago:
Foxhole. New war starts today. Getting a few of my friends on and working on building vehicles and tanks for the war effort.

This sounds wild but you don’t live near Seattle, do you? We just had a minor earthquake and the next morning all my smoke detectors went hog wild. Apparently that can happen?
